Lightning Rom 4.1 Camrea stopped being able to save pictures

I'm using the Lightning Rom 4.1
2 nights ago..took some pictures with my phone...all worked like it should
today I went to take a few pictures and now it wont save to the SD card
too the SD card out and put it in My Acer tablet, and I have no issues saving to the card
so its not a bad card....
it has to be something with the Camera app...
and I dont know how to fix it
the Video side of it will take movies and save them just fine
the camera side of it will create a file with 0 bytes in it.
also when I take a picture...it hangs for a second like its doing a picture review...but like I said...it doesnt save the pictures properly
I've tried the SD Rescan app...still broken
I've tried a different SD card... still broken
I've tried reformatting the card... still broken...

also.. for what its worth...I just noticed...
the forward low resolution camera works fine
the high resolution main camera is broken

Edit nevermind

anybody have any ideas???
I even went back to the stock rom, and reloaded Lightning Rom 4.1
Camera worked fine for a few days...
now this morning I go to take a picture and it doesnt work again...
Last night it worked fine, today its broken again...
I havent updated a thing since last night
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS!!!

hello??
is this thing on??
anybody on here read and respond?
has to be somebody else with this issue..

Probably because you are using old ROM, isn't even latest available, ROM thread says latest is 4.3.
Might try that or send message to dev and see what he recommends.
Could be kernel issue as well, did you change that recently?

same broken problem in 4.3

are you freezing any programs using titanium? I froze some programs that had nothing to do with the camera (or so I thought), and killed my camera. Had to reflash the ROM.

What about the other suggestions? Contact dev? Change kernel?
Do cameras from market work? What about camera from another ROM? Did you do full wipe of data, cache, dalvik, and format system between the 4.1 you had and on 4.3?
Did you ask this question in the thread dedicated to this ROM?

Probably coulda contacted me...you can just send me a pm...dont mind answering issues there...
My best guess is that you are removing something that you aren't supposed to be removing because it works for everyone else. What you can do, is pull the camera out of just about any other GB sense rom and push it to your system...if its still jacked up, you erased/froze/bad flash...if it works then let me know

That's an old one. Current is AR26. Don't think stock camera was fixed at that point

Yes that is old as mentioned. also the contacts syncing are you referring to with google or like facebook etc? The syncing with social networks is a sense feature (unless you download apps to do it for you) and not part of aosp. With respect, i might stay away from ics for the time being as they are all in alpha right now. If you are looking for something similar to stock but with extra features there are plenty of well made sense based roms here.

i do know that the camera will not work in ics beta that i flash but now with the factory settings why do noy work properly? thats the point. maybe the old rom damage the camera hardware?
and the issue with the contacs is when i plug in the phone to my pc it only show the option to share files but no other (HTC sync, usb tethering ...)

Those sync options are built into sense based roms only. If the camera is behaving like that with any rom. are you doing a full factory wipe/reset before flashing a new rom? if so then possibly hardware.

ok,
i will flash another rom to see if the camera behave the same.
yes, i did a wipe/reset before flash the rom.
i am rooting the phone again and will flash another rom to see what happen. Can you post a link of the ar26 or another rom that you know that work well just to do this test?

i hate recommending roms because it's an ugly road. But if you are testing camera and you like your sync options coredroid is a personal fave for sense roms. i havent used many as i tend to stay away (preference).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965207

i just notice this, if i open camcorder app the camera behave normal, the issue is with camera app. I will try with another one and let you know

ok, i download an app for the camera and work normal. i think the camera app is the problem.

I noticed you said reroot your phone. Please do not attempt to reroot your phone if you have root access. You MUST be unrooted and verified the unroot. This will cause all of us a headache... and more wasted server storage.

How can I make the camera work in CM10?

I flashed the latest official nightly for CM10 and sure it's pretty buggy, but the biggest thing to me that's really bothering me is the closing of the app or rebooting of my phone when I try to use the camera or video camera as well as apps related to them. Is there any current fix or should I just wait for an upcoming nightly?

I have had no problems with the camera, or anything for that matter! did you do a clean install?

I came from stock! The only thing I didn't do is flash back to completely stock-right out of factory. But I had no other ROM's or anything!

Clean install means wiping data/cache/dalvik.

Well then I did that!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I would try reflashing, or getting a slightly older nightly just to check. I haven't had any problem with the camera on CM10 for quite a few builds now.

Yeah, sorry dude, mine works fine too . Had it happen one time on the last build but its worked fine since then.
Rumor has it.....some people got a bad batch of gapps with gallery issues. Make sure you're on 7/26 gapps. Also some have said that wiping cache/data for gallery actually cleared the problem up too. Its pretty random the people with camera issues, but its definately a common thing still. See the cm10 official thread and there are a LOT of ideas about it floating around.

Did you restore anything strange with TiBackup or anything? It's a long shot, but I noticed after accidentally restoring a "system app" from GB to JB, it caused me some problems (wasn't a GSIII phone though). I wiped & reflashed ROM to fix my issues, but it sounds like you've done that well enough.
Does your camera not work immediately after flashing CM10?

First thing I would do is a permissions repair. fixing permissions can iron out all kinds of little issues.
You can do it through rom manager but I've never trusted it to do much properly so I always do permissions repair through recovery.

So, I already had the latest version of Gapps, I fixed the permissions, cleared the data/cache of the gallery, and flashed the latest nightly "8/22" yet it still isn't working. It's a pity having such a great ROM with such a potentially large drawback. I'm very much still open to more suggestions! I have nowhere near the Linux literacy of a developer, but push me to try something out of the ordinary and I can figure it out with not too much help!

[Q] Cannot Click on Google Search Results if the result is more than one line long

Ok, so this is probably a weird one. I'm using an HTC One X with ViperX 2.1.2 Rom on stock kernel. I started noticing that when I use Google Search (the widget or the app), I'll search for something and when the results come up, I couldn't click on some of the results. I click on the blue text and it just highlights it once then does nothing. It won't launch the browser. So then I was noticing that it was only happening sometimes, so I continued to experiment and found that it only does it when the title of the result extends onto two lines. If the resulting webpage title is only one line long, the link opens the browser perfectly every time. This being one of the most used features on my phone, it gets extremely irritating. I've tried everything I know to try. Please help!

Bump
Can anyone help me?

Wipe caches and reflash gapps would he my suggestion. May even want to redownload your zip to make sure its not corrupt.

Thanks for the reply. Tried that and only made more problems. I just found that when I rotate my phone to landscape while viewing the results in.google now, I am able to open any result. (Because the webpage titles don't extend onto two lines). Such a weird issue! It's like when you tap a result, the programming only knows to try to open the immediate next line.

I just tried to duplicate your issue. All works well. I'm on CM10 with full 4.2 gapps. ???? Maybe try a different ROM?

I would, but I love the viper rom so much. It's just this small issue that I can't figure out. I've tried finding a reinstall for google now itself that is compatible with ViperX 2.2.0, but haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know where i can get that?
Thanks

Must have been a super rare problem, no one else has had it like me. I since installed a newer version of viper and it works fine. I think a potential for some of the weirder random problems with these roms might be a virus scanner on your computer (if you downloaded the Rom on your computer). Seems that it might break the Rom in small ways.

I have this exact problem, it persists even though I totally wiped and reinstalled the entire Rom (negalite blurom in htc evo 3d) two separate times months apart

Do you have the latest version of Google Search installed? Have you tried clearing the app data and cache? Or uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

Just the version that came with the rom ...can't update I because it's not compatible on the play store. I did some research and since it is an ICS rom it must be some special modded version of the JB or whatever version of Google search. All the projects trying to mod the newer Google search versions to ICS appear dead, so I figured it was hopeless and just used "Google now remover". Now I'm back to the old Google search. Funny though, as this rom is still in somewhat active development and it's specifically designed for my phone but nobody on the development thread has ever mentioned this problem. Oh well, not really a problem for me now.

If you have root you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall system apps, you could do that and then install Google Search from the Play Store which should update it to the latest version.

[Q] Unable to store photos with main cam

hi guys,
i've got a problem with my cam. when i take a photo, cam does take the action and in gallery there is a "photo" but the photo's just all in gray and cant open it. but i can use the camera to scan a barcode, to take videos sometimes... meanwhile the front camera works well
it may be caused by some problems when i flashed a different rom, i guess. but everything else works but camera.
i've tried to flash a lot of different roms, factory reset, wipe anything can be wiped, format internal, install other camera apps and radios.
still cant take photos
anyone can help here. or it 's sure to be a hardware problem?

What roms have you tried. That was an issue with some of the earlier cm 10.1's

I have the exact same issue. Except in my case I can't take any videos. I asked around and no one was able to provide any insights.
The only thing I would recommend is a complete back to stock using odin. In my case, this did not fix the problem.
Next, I re flashed the camera firmware using a dial code in stock jb ROM. This did not fix my issue either.
So I concluded hardware problem.
Next, I ordered a replacement rear camera module. Took my phone apart and replaced the camera. This did not fix the problem either. So whatever hardware it is, it is outside the camera module.
At this point I have given up and am just gonna wait till my contract runs out..
If you find a fix, please let me know.

Have you tried formatting internal and external sd cards with the stock rom. That might clear things up. Obviously, back everything up first.
