I've got MIUI ROM 1.6.10 installed on my HTC Desire and I really like it, but I've got a big issue with the camera: it's in a constant state of being frozen.
So to clarify, I open the camera app, and it's straight away frozen. I try to press buttons but all I get is the Force Close / Wait dialogue. If I wait, nothing happens. If I force close and open it again, it's frozen still/again.
It used to happen to me in MIUI 1.2 as well and when I upgraded to MIUI 1.4 after a wipe, surprisingly it was exactly the same, but then I tried pressing the Clear Data button for the Camera application and it started working again.
A little bit after it started getting frozen again. Clear data didn't work anymore, neither did a wipe, SD card format and upgrading to 1.6.10, as mentioned above.
The only thing I can think about the might cause the problem is this: before miui I used to have cyanogen ROM. When I look at phone information it says I've got the cyanogen kernel. is that something that could cause problems to the miui ROM? Should install a different kernel?
Can anyone please help? I really like this ROM and I don't want to have to start getting used to something else!
Thanks for reading!
I'm not sure if this is useful/helpful at all but i gather that since it says that you've got cm kernel you didn't perform a full wipe when you installed miui... try doing a full wipe and reinstalling it...
Save important user data and apps, perform a full wipe and flash again.
Does a full wipe erase the previous kernel?
What kernel will I have then?
Can anyone actually explain what kernel is exactly?
Also, how do I do a FULL wipe?
Because I've already done:
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
What am I missing?
Cheers
After a full wipe you won't be able to start any rom.
You will get the kernel which is delivered with the rom you flash.
An explanation for the kernel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel
Nothing is missing for a full wipe.
Search the miui thread for your problem.

If nothing is missing and I've actually done a full wipe, then why is my kernel still cyanogen?

Wicked thank you. So the kernel is not the problem.
Could I still have missed something from a full wipe? I remember reading in the guide that u need to format /data,or something. But I assumed the wipes I've detailed above were sufficient. Can anyone confirm that for me?
Or can anyone tell me otherwise why I'm having this problem?
Thanks.

Thank you. You reckon the radio might affect the camera?
Edit: Just had a quick look at the thread you gave me. Seems like that might fix the problem. I'll give it a go when I finish work. Thank you very much!

DIDN'T WORK!
It's a shame. I really thought that was the solution, but it didn't work.
I've just downloaded and installed the recommended radio (5.17.5.23), even tried to clear the camera's data again, but it's still frozen.
ANYONE ...? :\
Did you try some other kernels like ManU or Tiamat?

No. Do you reckon that might help? Which one would u recommend?
Okay I've tried a different radio, different kernels (Tiamat 3.3.8 and 4.0.5). Nothing helps!
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this annoying problem?
Another lead I had in mind: Could the fact that I have S-ON affect anything?
Update: I've tried pressing "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager which didn't help either.

The MIUI camera seems to be a bit buggy, I had to update the radio which helped me get rid of the worst crashes (suprise reboots) but it's still FC'ing and crashing the camera totally so that a reboot is necessary.
Try installing Camera360 from Market. It works for me, and at least you will know if it's just the MIUI Camera app that's broken or if you have bigger problems. In case Camera360 can't connect to the camera, reboot and try again.

I've already tried a different camera from the market and it does work with no problems at all.
It is the miui camera app that's malfunctioning.
If no one has a solution, all that's left for me is to hope the miui devs will fix this critical issue for their next build.

Ah, then it's most probably the same problem that I have, only I get to shoot a few pics before it goes bye bye and then no camera app at all works until I reboot.
It's a shame because I really like the MIUI Camera, but I guess we'll just have to wait for a fix. If you have error logs, try posting them in the official forum for your MIUI build and maybe they can get someone in China working on a solution?
same problem for me but i am on 1.9.16 ported to X10 lol...
I seen somewhere that it was the auto focus that caused problems/ lags for ppl so if i could just get it to work once and maybe turn that off?
Hello,
I would've posted this in the hyperdrive forum, but alas, I am still under 10 posts. So, this was the next best thing. I have an I747 which I am running Hyperdrive on, and so far I really like it. I just ran into the issue with the camera today. The camera itself was working just fine, but once I switched to the video camera, all hell broke loose. Every time I try to open the camera app, all it does is hang and force close. I can't even switch it back to the camera. I tried to flash the zip fix through TWRP, but it didn't have an effect. Am I doing anything wrong?
FYI: when I flashed the zip, I dirty flashed as it was a small file, and I figured that was fine, although I could've done it wrong.

I could really use some help with this. I'm about to just go to another ROM, because not having a camera is unacceptable for me with two small kids.

Are you on the latest version of hyperdrive, rls 16? Are sure you followed all the instructions properly? What camera did you choose to install?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
I definitley am on rls16, and I followed the directions to a "T". Everythng else works except for the camera, and it was only when I switched to video when it froze and now I can't get it back to just the camera. I installed the note 3 when I first when through the aroma installer.

Alright, so I went back and re-read the OP on hyperdrive, and saw this:
"IF YOUR CAMERA DOES NOT WORK, YOU NEED TO FLASH AN UPDATED KERNEL FOR YOUR CARRIER!!"
So I went and flashed ktoonsez's kernel for TW based 4.1.2 ROMS. followed his instructions to a "T". Flashed the kernel, wiped cache and Dalvik, fixed permissions, and rebooted.
.

No change in the damn camera. It's still stuck in video mode, and FC's after only a few seconds. It won't let me change the setting back to the camera from video, and none of the buttons work while in the app.

That's really weird. I have the note 2 camera on rls 16 and it works fine. I didn't need to flash a fix or anything. Maybe try reflashing the rom ? Or perhaps you got a bad download in which case you could try redownloading it.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Just as an update, I did get this to work by reflashing the ROM and using the stock s3 camera instead of the note one. Since then I have moved on to the Slimbean ROM. I just wanted a smaller, lighter ROM, and am not really a fan of Touchwiz. The great thing about all of this, is that I can go back whenever I want!
Hi all,
I have an ATT samsung galaxy s3, out of warranty period. My phone's camera has stopped working entirely since 2 months. Its really frustrating! I have tried everything from going back to stock roms then custom roms.
A little history:
- I installed an app ipcam to monitor my baby, I left the cam on with flashlight and was gone for half an hour, since then I had cam freezing probs until one day it stopped working.
- I was trying a lot of options and one day the camera worked only for 5 mins. then when i tried again it was not working.
Please help!
I am currently on android 4.3, Intergalactic ROM 4.1 and MJB baseband.
I also had my sd card corrupted during that same time and have started using a new memory card since 1 week.
Did you try downloading another camera from the play store?
Yes I tired all sorts of camera apks none work....

I feel the file system is corrupted or something but I did factory reset and clean system, cache, dalvik cache, before installing roms so that should take care of it, but doesn't seem to help. I was on liquidsmooth 4.4 earlier when my problems began and I had installed some kernel had done dirty flashing, then I did a clean install of stock fw, but the problem still existed.
I read somewhere that switching bootloaders can screw camera files. So how to correct it there must be something I can do. I need to click my rowing baby's pictures I am missing all those moments when you wish you had a good camera at hand to make videos !

that really sucks, we just had my little man not to long ago and i take lots of pictures. i had trouble with my N7 after flashing an update to the rom the camera from the gallery app was non existent and i could only take pictures from facebook with their camera app. I tried some apps from play store and other areas and i got the message "camera system not recognized" or something to that extent. I downloaded gallery+ with the camera app included and it's worked ever since. Although i only follow one developer when it comes to the N7 (although i use to switch a lot before hand).
i just got my S3 about 2 weeks ago so i'm not familiar with this gadget but.. maybe you fried your camera's hardware? i really hope i'm wrong and someone more experienced can lend a hand. i swapped bootloaders (we could of took different routes of course), played with just a few roms on the S3 but stopped after i learned more about touchwiz (cant believe i actually like a stock based rom :laugh.
sorry for my story lol, did you try the facebook camera (the take a picture option or something like that), i know it sounds silly but again it was the only thing that worked on my N7 besides the gallery camera app. Hope you get it working again! :good:
I tried the gallery ± and Facebook app anything that needs camera doesn't work... But thanks for your input... M glad you understand my plight of not being able to take my baby's pics...
I am on mj boot loader and the camera rear fw I found does null null in sys/class/camera I guess that is the problem.. The system is not being able to connect to the camera ...I don't think it's a hardware issue cuz camera worked for five minutes when I had done a clean install..
I was on liquid smooth before that's where problems started I did done update then installed the previous version... Don't remember what was it exactly
I'm so hoping somebody can help me in this someone who has a better knowledge of how the camera files are laid..I have camera 1.5 in my phone if that helps...

Not sure if this will help but I was on 4.1.1 and I flashed to a 4.3 ROM and had nothing but issues. I flashed back to my 4.1.1 and I got the SAME camera error.
Turned out that that the 4.3 ROM included a bootloader update that was not compatible with the 4.1.1 ROM, it broke the camera.
I downgraded back to the 4.1.1 bootloader and the camera started working again.
Please note that some bootloaders can NOT be downgraded and you will brick your phone.
Thanks for your reply, I'm on MJB boot loader and I guess one can't downgrade from that to a 4.1.1 system so is there no hope for my camera recovery?
Are there any files that I can copy paste to make it work.. ? What happens when the boot loader changes? Why can't we have a boot loader that would run camera on 4.1.1? ..plz guys I know this can b done.. There must be a way...

Could you elaborate precisely what the issue is, not many people are going to be able to help if you don't tell us more information.
What ROM are you using?
What have you flashed?
Did you perform a full wipe?
Do you have any apps that could influence the camera in a negative way?
Any mods which could affect the system ie: Xposed ?
As much as you can give, plus what was happening between it working and not working and what you did between.
Before you started wiping or anything, try a third party camera, ie: SNAP Camera and see if the problem persists on that too.
I would suggest a wipe after that based upon what you've said and perhaps a stock type rom or close to.
Front camera works fine, but i can't switch to this on back
I don't have any mods any apps
Before i have ROM from o2 uk and camera also did not work too
Now i have this what is on screen :

What have you tired so far?
Try a different camera app, ie: snap camera, Google camera.
Go to application manager, clear data for the camera.
Force a reboot.
Factory reset (back up data first)
Reflashing rom, try a different rom.
Confirm you're on the correct firmware, update if necessary
Flash an ruu.
Try these in order chances are it'll be one of them.
Unless there's something else going on, that's pretty much what I would do..
This Rom is pure AOSP made by FXP Team
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY CAUSE YOUR DEVICE
Your Bootloader must be unlocked and TWRP recovery installed.
You must have a working adb and fastboot connection to your pc.
Installation:
-Place GApps on your internal SDcard
-Reboot into TWRP and make a Backup of your System (boot,system,data)
-In TWRP delete your data and cache/dalvik
-shutdown your device and restart into fastboot mode
-flash the extracted system.img "fastboot flash system system.img"
-reboot into TWRP und flash GApps
-shutdown your device and restart into fastboot mode
-flash the extractet boot.img "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
-restart your device (first start take a few minutes)
-done
The File "userdata.img" in the Rom zip just delete your internal SDcard so please dont flash it.
Recovery: In the Rom Download is a "recovery.img" this is the Sony AOSP recovery you can flash it but you cant do much with this and you dont need to flash it.
If you want to use TWRP, you have to boot your Devices with TWRP "fastboot boot twrpxxx.img". You have to do this everytime you want to use TWRP. I read that FXP fixed the kitakami-recovery bug, lets hope its in the next release.
Downloads: Rom 26.08.2016
TWRP
Root: Hotboot into TWRP and flash the latest betaSU.
Xposed: Hotboot into TWRP and flash latest Systemless Xposed framework and install latest Material Xposed Installer.
reserved
Screenshots?
Has anyone tested this out yet ? Stable? daumm im sounding like a dumb person lol
Would be nice daily driver? so many questions
Screenshots?
Can't flash this, it just comes up with an error in TWRP as soon as you try unfortunately. Guess it was a blind build that hasn't been tested.

You shouldnt flash it in twrp, you need to flash it from your pc. And it works perfect, i used this Rom for two days rooted with xposed and no Problems or Bugs except of the camera. I dont think that we need Screenshots because its pure aosp.

Thanks for the information. This is the first none stock ROM that I've tried flashing on a Sony device. It's all a bit difficult compared to other devices I've used.
What commands do I use to flash this ROM?
I'm an idiot and didn't read the first post properly!
It's hard to download(ಥ_ಥ)

Camera is working, but the pictures are not good. From ten tries one picture is good. Sony knows about that problem with the AOSP Camera Driver for MM but it doesnt look like they wanne fix it.
Took me a while to get it up and running but I'm there now - all seems good (apart from the known Sony camera issues).
Where is AOSP for E6533……
Thanx
Sorry for the noobish question, Camera Bug means none of the camera apps will work? or bug with only stock camera?
Can anyone clarify me plz....

Is this ROM going to be updated?
Hey, FXP made an Update... finally, linked it in the OP
I dont know anything about the changelog, going to test it.
Edit: Downloaded, flashed and booted... that was fast... lol forgot to clear my userdata result in bootloop xD
Ok Camera is complete broken now. Dont know what FXP made but its not good and access to twrp is still missing.
Sony are a joke when is comes to open source. All there DRM features have been ported already and always will be so why not just give it out so we can have a working AOSP ROM and custom! I'm no developer but these issues with camera and that can be easily fixed. It's definitely my last sony. Going Nexus next or the lg v20 might be my thing.
We have an update from friday with WORKING CAMERA on AOSP!!!! YEAH!!!!
And the pictures are good. Didnt test everything yet but looks quit good. I will try it for daily driver the next days.
Edit: It´s hard to make pictures in a dark area but if you have enough light around there the pictures are usable.
How is performance and (over)heat with AOSP?
Like is the snapdragon better controlled than on Stock? Would be a dream to be honest.
I have not tried the latest AOSP but generally yes performance and battery should be better as it's has a lot smaller footprint than Sony stock.
Will take a backup of my setup later and give this a shot. I see the AOSP 7.0 files are up too. Would porting snap camera or building cm from this not improve camera function more?
After using the latest build for a couple of hours i have to say... wow this is a very fast system. Everything i testet is working, only thing which isnt perfect is still the camera, focus is sometimes hard and as i said you need enough light. But as the dev from z5 made the camera working much better and this is the first rls with working camera overall for z3+ i think its just a question of time when we will have a perfect camera.
Performance is much better than with every Stock or Stock based Rom. Overheating issue sure still exists, this is caused by the processor not by the software. And we dont have a custom kernel for AOSP which is underclocked by default. I use kernel adiutor to make this and it helps mostly. The average Ram usage is at 800-900mb with GApps installed
Sad that Sony has to release three newer flagships before they publish the neccessary stuff to build aosp bugfree.
Oh and yes twrp still doesnt work, only way is still boot twrp from pc via fastboot.
