Hi, since yesterday my infuse show this annyoning message when try to open camera: "warning: Camera Failed", this happen after downgrade from Cyanogen 10.1(last nightly unnoficial) to stock gingerbread (wanna try something but downgrade :S), then when try to open camera, show the message and suddenly force close, i try all methods suggest to other galaxy devices: reboot, clear application cache, format phone, super wipe, 3rd party market cameras, try different kernel, back again to the rom used before and... nothing, i read something about the camera firmware in galaxy SII forums... coz i search in all ways here infuse forums and nothing about changing camera firmware in the infuse (any way to put a equivalent camera firmware from galaxy captivate or anything?) i dont messed/play before with this option (change camera firmware)... the phone never had moisture (never drooped in water or humidity) any way to make the procedure in my infuse, any help much appreciated!

you may not be able to use cameras from other builds or devices.
you may have to wipe the whole system/data/cache/dalvik in cwm and flash the rom over again
if that doesn't work, you have to flash back to stock and start over.

I have the same issue...any solutions?

I have the same issue and have tried this and everything else I could find, but I noticed one thing in particular: the Camera app and the Camera Firmware app do not have anything in them. Both apps read "0 Bytes." Has anybody found another solution for this?

Try factory resetting. Honestly, that fixes 85% of problems for me so its worth a shot

Factory Reset hasn't fixed it

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried factory resetting the device a dozen times with no results. Is there some way I can manually install the camera firmware? I'm convinced that it's missing because it says 0 Bytes

Well when I was running the Gingerbread stock rom, I could go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and see that the Camera App and Camera Firmware App both said 0 Bytes, so I guess that means they were missing entirely. I am running the Slimbean Jelly Bean 4.2.2 rom right now and neither of those apps show up.

Help! Nexus 5 Camera Broken After Dodgy Mod

After installing Jishnu's Camera Mod, the opposite effect that was intended happened on my n5 and now the camera is almost useless. it won't focus on anything and is basically unusable. I have tried installing new roms, i just installed a Cyanogenmod nightly by flashing the zip through CWM Recovery but it still hasn't fixed the problem. Someone please help me!!! :S

Get in touch with jishnu by PM and ask for an undue zip. Failing that use a root file Explorer to wipe the files and replace with the right ones. It's only software. I'd uninstall the camera and get it from the play store and move it to a system app

@Neardood1
Go to jishnu camera mod thread, in the op there is a restore back to stock camera flashable zip for 4.4 and 4.4.2, download the appropriate zip and flash it through recovery.
The mod is only for stock, cataclysm and purity ROMs.
I would also recommend making/or having a nandroid backup before flashing any mods or changing system apps on your device, in the event that something should go wrong, restore your nandroid backup and your good as new.

that's the first thing I did and it didn't work. I just installed Cyanogen with the PC app and still its useless. I'm running out of ideas here That mod must have changed something deep in the software for it to f*** it up this much

Hmmm. Yeah something's not right.... I would try to contact jishnu and see what he has to say.
Otherwise you might have to flash back the stock image and start over from scratch.

today isnt a good day
updated to franco r37, Jishnu's Camera fc nonstop
flashed the restore zip -> fc
flashed gapps photosphere zips -> fc
very strange
maybe tomorrow it will working again

Are you performing a full wipe before installing another ROM. There is no way this is a software issue if you are doing this correctly because a new ROM would over write the files that caused the camera issue. Either that or now you have a hardware issue.

If you really think it's the app, do a complete restore to stock using fastboot adb and the factory image.

I've been using the camera mod without problems until today.. FC for me too. Nothing changed that I'm aware of. Reflash didn't help.

@OP
Do you have any other camera apps installed and they also don't work ?
For me only Jishnu's Camera has stopped working, the LG Camera Mod, SnapCam, ProCapture etc. are still working like before
i miss the Jishnu's Cam :crying:
regards

He's posted a new update in the camera thread and now mine is working again. Give it a try.

not for me :crying:
wiped dalvik & cache partition, flashed the Jishnu's Cam v1.5 but still fc

well its seems that the play store/service update kills the cam for me
restored a backup, cam works perfect, updated to the 1.5 version, works perfect
after a while lbe security asked me if the playstore/services should be updated -> allowed and baamm cam killed
restored the same backup again and rejected the update for playstore/services and cam still works
rly strange scenario

Yeah now the camera app will just randomly stop working, so will other apps like snapchat; they all say they can't connect to the camera. I'm starting to think its a hardware fault but that doesn't explain why it stopped working as soon as I installed this mod

How was the end of this story?

tested again today

Camera freezes when I try to take a picture?

Hey!
I'm on cyanogenmod, already tried many camera apps and the only one I got working was snapchat
Does anyone else had/have this problem or know how to fix it without wiping the device?
Thanks for your time.

happened to me once, reboot helped.. but make sure, you are on Dalvik runtime (options > developer settings)

I'm already on dalvik and reboots do nothing
A note: the camera doesn't force close, it's just the preview that freezes when I try to take a picture, if switch to video (btw video recording works fine) and back to camera i can see the live preview again. Sadly, it will definitely freeze again if I try to take another picture.

What kernel have you installed? Maybe you have to flash old camera libs

If you have bootloader unclocked and custom recovery like twrp in place, then the option with you is to reflash the "fasboot images" of the desired CM version(11S or 12) and then you can revert to the Custom ROM you want and flash full package of GApps version.

thanks for the help. but i figure out the problem.. the camera was not attached properly and i attached it and all is fine now.
