Hello all,
I have the same problem as you with my camera. The Gallery isn't displaying my pictures from my camera. it started out with some of them just being black and saying no thumbnail when i would select it. When I open one of it in the gallery, only "loading" appears.
Somebody heard about this issue? I have this problem since last Thursday. I'm using cm9 nightly build.
I try a full wipe but no effect on it...
Thanks.

Lens cap on?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist)
New camera apps still access the same base camera apk.
So you might have a borked camera apk. You could flash a new one.
Or if you have a custom ROM or kernel something in the rom or kernel might be bad. Try reflashing the kernel, then try a different kernel, then reflash the rom, then try a different rom.
Though i doubt the kernel is at fault since you can read bar codes. It sounds like the camera isnt converting its images to files. That could be a apk issue or a rom issue

I try to reflash the rom with a full wipe, no effect... Is the kernel flashed when a rom is flashed (For me a kernel is present inside a ROM, isn't? ) ? If not, which Kernel I have to use?
Thanks!

I tried with another Kernel : the Kernel Bricked 3.0 v1.4 but doesn't change anything. How can I find a stock camera app apk?
Thanks

Here below a logcat when taking a picture.

Have anyone an ideas about this issue?
Will be grateful for any contribution.

+1 Nobody has the same problem as us?

I tried with CM10 rom and the same problem. So the problem is not related to a specific ROM and not related to a kernel.
What's the problem?

+1 here, cm9 && cm10 not working, miui based on stock kernel working
on cm9 && cm10 the camera preview works fine,
i have posted here, with a camera logcat pasted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38806849&postcount=235
have tried sultan kernal r20.8, still not working

I've the same problem, I am pretty sure my camera is fine. It can take the photo even in preview the photo is fine, but it cant save the photo , it just a black image with a exclamation sign, not only this there are other problems too like , with youtube app I cant watch videos, with gallery apps the videos ( that i took before) are blue shaded and not clear and laggy , but with mx player both videos are working fine, Tried a lot of roms , in MIUI rom youtube can play videos also gallery playback is fine , but the camera problem is still there , tried a lot other roms too like ahrd , viper, revelation , aokp, cm10, etc etc, only with miui youtube and gallery playback works flawlessly. Any solution anyone ?? please ? I changed the sd card too, nothing.

exactly the same problem here...
after unlocking and flashin 4ext and a new rom my camera looks fine, but doesn't save the pictures... anyone any idea please?
i really miss my camera!!!

I even went to stock rom, still my problem persists . I guess its problem with 2D GPU thing, cause even in weather app when I click on demo the sense weather thing doesnt work. Sometimes it takes a picture but with serious bluish tint.

desire S problems with all custom firmware!

I have a problem with the camera and video hardware to all custom firmware which are based on cyanogenmod kernel. Camera work but does not move and hardware video on player don*t move. On firmware are based on stock all right work. I've tried everything hboot and recovery but result is the same. Install Miui 2.1.6.08 then install kernel UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14 is the only variant when camera well works but hardware video does not work at all. I hope to help developers!

i hope someone could take a look at this and lend a hand. i've got the same problem with my Desire S. Used both MIUI 1.12.30 and then Reaper v1.1, both really good ROMs except for the video playback problem. It does the same when trying to take pictures, the camera preview window would freeze after a couple of seconds but pictures come out ok. same thing when viewing videos through browser or when i try to watch a video file saved in the sd card, video freezes after couple of seconds but audio is totally normal.
yep yep! and what I say

[Q] Camera in JellyTime AOKP v7 Saga

Pardon me if i'm posting this in the wrong section.
I flashed the JellyTime AOKP v7 Saga rom (which apparently fixes video recording)
i cant seem to even get the camera working let alone the 720p recording . There's no preview in camera, just a black screen . it prompts me to tap the screen to focus . hangs for a few seconds and then says "gallery is not responding" then force closes.
can someone help me out here.
Thanks in advance
have you solved the problem?
i have the same rom, no problems though. i just get a green/purple line at the bottom while taking pictures

camera flash kills phone

I have wiped reinstalled rom, touch to focus, nothing works. as soon as I use flash my phone goes black resulting in a battery pull. running blackbean 6, would really like tofind a fix since I love this Rom. also is there any way to pull the camera from synergies r73 to use with this rom? I love the volume as shutter option and haven't found any mods that work on this rom for the same feature.
thanks!

so is there any fix for flash rendering a phone reboot? I tried several other jb roms that were 4.1 and 4.2 based and same problem. if I use a camera app it works fine, but lacks the quality in picture.
If this isn't fixed by flashing a new ROM then believe it or not you need a new battery. This was a common problem on the DROID charge.

If I stay stock rom it works fine, or if i use any rom later than 4.1. I never had any issues on synergy until the jb leak, then just assumed it was a glitch somewhere, but i have found after testing it does it on any rom that runs 4.1 or higher unless im running stock. I think i might have found a fix tho, i pulled the camera from stock rom and placed it in my sys/app fixed permissions and works fine. I tried this with the 4.2 camera but it crashed my phone to. So i guess im stuck with stock for now?

[Q] Rear Camera Not Working -Any ideas?

Hello there, i am having some interesting issues with my att xl.
Stock ICS ROM rear camera works perfect.
Any custom JB sense rom, rear camera doesn't work.
Liquidsmooth cm 10.1 JB rom rear camera works perfect.
stock JB 3.18 att rom, rear camera doesn't work.
Before anyone gets all froggy, yes i read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911847&page=3 and it doesn't really pertain to my situation as I am able to get my camera working on different roms.
It seems as though it may be a driver issue, so i tried copying the camera libs from the working cm 10.1 rom into the appropriate folders on both the custom and stock sense jb roms but i just get stuck at boot screen and have to reflash.
Any help will....help... maybe i didnt grab all the files or something.
Thanks ahead of time.
Anyone with any ideas what so ever? Ill try anything at this point.
try to check the md5 of the download jb files and the ones mentioned in the OP and do not try using cm 10.1 libs on sense roms its different , else did u try wiping cache of ur camera and see .. just try some other sense JB Rom and see if u get the same error !
S-on? Did you remember to flash boot.img for every ROM?

Sorry forgot to mention, phone is s-off and I have tried multiple sense roms. Sadly on ics sense roms will alow rear camera to work.

What recovery are you using? A couple of us have had a problem where our dialer would fc if we flashed a sense rom using TWRP after using CWM.

I have tried both cwm and twrp. And have also tried flashing the boot.img.
I think what I will have to try next is reflashing back to ics then starting over...this sucks, it must be a different camera on my particular device...it is a refurbished unit they gave me. Thanks for all the ideas so far, and any more are welcomed.
Ok, I completely re-ruu 'ed... If that makes any sense, to the newest cingular evita rom.. . And... Same exact problem, front camera works, rear doesn't. So my question now is, can I get the camera libs from an ics rom and throw them into the jb rom ? It looks like that will have to be my next venture. This blows

Video camera not working - anyone else?

I don't use my phone to shoot video often so not a major issues, but I current cannot record video on the default camera app (or any other camera app, when I attempt to shoot video it FCs.
Currently I'm running the latest build of Cataclysm ROM + faux 002m kernel. When my phone was running stock the video camera worked just fine.
Did you clear the camera data and then try opening it?
prshosting.org
did you try a different rom?
Same issue here. Allthough running stock rom&kernel.

backup everything. full wipe and reflash just the rom and gapps. boot in, setup and make sure everything is working. then, if you want to stick with faux, download the latest release (005) and flash in recovery. report back.

and you've done nothing to your device? has it always not recorded video or did it just stop working recently?

I'm rooted. Actually I don't know wether it was capable of recording video, because it's a replacement device and I haven't tried recording video before updating to 4.4.2.
But since recording video is not a big deal for me, I don't know if i'm willed to go through the backup-flash-restore procedure. Propably I'll do it when PA is available.
Fixed by flashing Franco kernel r24 :S
