[Q] AOSP Roms Cannot Connect to Camera

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else, but after flashing AOKP Build 3 my camera keeps giving me the error "cannot connect to camera." I have tried clearing data on the gallery app, rebooting the phone, and nothing works.
I researched some and tried some fixes I found but none had any effect.
I then reflashed to stock to see if stock Touchwiz would work and it works with no issues. Wiped all data, reformatted my SD card, removed my SD card and cannot seem to find the culprit. I also flashed CM nightly to see if it was an AOKP issue with my phone, but had same issue
For whatever reason I cannot flash any AOSP rom without having FC on my camera. Any help would be appreciated. Again, sorry if it has been posted somewhere I haven't found, but I've looked for a few days and didn't locate anything that worked.

Did you try fixing permissions?

What version of CWM are you using? I've heard some versions don't play nice with AOSP.
EDIT: I'm assuming you're using CWM.

You happen to try a different camera from the play store? My quess is it wouldnt work either as its probaly a kernel issue?

Yeah I tried with several camera alternatives and all said couldn't connect to camera as well. :/

this happened to me randomly yesterday on CM10 M1, I'm on leankernal and using twrp. I had just flashed the aosp camera mod earlier so I thought it was that. I just restored a backup I made the other day and it was all good since. I guess its a good reason to make routine backups on aosp

I've had the same issue and reflashed multiple times and tried all the above.
My Galaxy III SCH-I535 operates on Android 4.1.2 aokp_d2vzw_jb_milestone_1
Kernel is 3.0.48-cynagenmod-faux123-vzw...
I love this ROM. I'm not sure how it randomly a day or two into operation just quit the camera operation completely. This would be a real miracle solved

I wasn't able to get it to fix. I came to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue. For whatever reason it works on touchwiz but wouldn't work on aosp ROMs. I got a warranty replacement and it solved the issue. Wasn't able to find a software fix.

I am having the "cannot connect" issue on CM10. I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2152348
The camera works fine in stock, but on CM10 no-go. According to this post its a firmware issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006128
only problem is to fix I need to figure out what camera firmware I have so I can flash a new one - but I cannot determine what firmware i535 has? Anyone?

Based on another thread, seems like I might be able to copy the bins from the cameradata folder on stock where the camera works. No need to flash or anything.

d2vzw random crashes on all versions of cm.

I can't find out why my Verizon Samsung galaxy s3 randomly crashes. It started a few days ago on version 410. I have tried flashing the 414 version which is supposed to fix a memory leak bug. But that hasn't helped at all. So I tried clearing cache and dalvik cache which seems to have helped temporarily but soon enough it started freezing again. I have recently flashed 327 version of cm which is when I first got cm, (this version never had issues when I had it) if anyone can help me trouble shoot this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
opening the default cm messaging app sometimes causes: "Loading conversations" which then is followed by my phone freezing. Also if it is related, I have enabled developer options but I can not open them. When I try to open dev options, my phone doesn't crash but my settings app goes unresponsive and I have to close it.
Oh and last night I downloaded a root checker because I couldnt find superuser. Apparently my phone wasn't rooted? I reinstalled superuser and it seems to be rerooted now. But I don't know what's happening with my phone. It wasn't rooted but was running cm? Anyway, it still crashes even after rerooting
tl;dr: d2vzw constant crashes on all versions of cm. Can't fix it. Need help

I think so, as long as it is a STAR N9300. If it doesn't, you can always restore from the backup (which we always perform before we flash stuff)

So m8 any new updates on ur new ROM?

Oh, so sorry! I am trying to fix all the issues, but apparently I cannot find any stock ICS ROM that has working camera drivers.
I tried yesterday to fix the cameras, but the stock drivers cause a FC when the camera app is opened.
Still trying in my free time. But as you know, I am a student and I have another major project competition going on right now (that lasts for 2 months), as well as a Malay test (wtf right).
That is why I have no time even in June to work on the ROM.
Dun worry though, software problems always have solutions.
I would expect a update in July or August, if I manage to fix something.
Meanwhile, enjoy the current state of the ROM! It is pretty stable, and has all the important stuff working....

[ROM} MIUI Rom port i9505 Closest to MIUI offical

Hi all, here is MIUI offical port from the MIUI forum. i am not the creator just the informer!
TW based rom 4.2.2
The stock kernel works fine but you must flash a baseband to get WIFI working (via ODIN)
Updates working via OTA (weekly on a friday)
Here is the link to download the Rom http://en.miui.com/download-110.html
it will be slow as its from the chinese servers.
If you want gapps, download gapps for 4.2.2 from http://goo.im and flash it.
wipe date/factory and install zip in recovery im using philz recovery and have had no issues
For lite *#*#4636#*#* then phone information then select lte gsm cmda etc
if you wish to make a mirror then please get permision from the creator 郁闷得撞墙 Author number 3472249
This rom has been smoothed out alot over the last update and only small bugs are left to sort out.
Sms screen rotate doesnt work.
You have to flash a baseband to get wifi working
If theres any bug ive missed drop me a pm and i will add them
In my opion this is the closest to the real MIUI that we will get unless of course they support it.
thanks to dreamxp for first mentioning this release in bmarkos thread and thanks to the creator that made this port 郁闷得撞墙

I cant seem to install it. I wipe system and data and then proceed to install and it gets as far as the updating boot image and then auto reboots out of CWM and then it wont boot.
Any suggestions? I have downloaded the rom twice now just in case it was corrupt file but same issue both times.
thanks.
update:
ok fixed the problem changed cwm to philz and everything installed fine.

Just installed... tnx to Bmarko for doing a great job with the porting version but... this version is finally the best one I tried so far... I had just a reboot while importing sms and the "problems" already mentioned in the first post... but it's fast, clean, beautiful... the camera is fastest than the stock one (I have to do some more tests anyway), there are also some features from the original firmware, the multiwindow, air gesture, etc....
I love it!!

HI i cant take any credit for the find it was thanks to dreamxp on the MIUI port rom thread that found it i simply made this thread to keep the comments seperate as it was getting confusing
here is a link to the kernal to sort the wifi problem out http://www.miui.com/forum.php?mod=misc&action=attachcredit&aid=1532401&formhash=df509285
and yes the base is TW so all TW features are here although ive not had chance to play with it fully yet.
the only problem i have found other than the sms problem is the ringtone volume sounds too loud even when you reduce the volume it seems to go loud again.

Anyway to install this on a AT&T S4? Install in recovery kicks me out because it's a i337.

How to fix it?

If everyone can keep posting up their issues with this ROM. I can go through it and see what I can clean up. I can also post up the files to my mediafile account. I just switched back to the TW ROM from miui, but now I guess I will have to jump back and have the best of both worlds. Time for some modding.

you should have "focal" as your camera app, but you can also just flash a stock ROM that has root so everything is back to its familiar setup and apps.

Hi guys, i have exactly the same problem. I have a 3110 and i decided to move from cm 10.1.3 to cm11. I performed the data wipe/factory reset with the latest version of twrp, installed the rom, installed the gapps package and everything seems to work fine except for the camera. There is no app at the drawer, i can not install google camera from the playstore, and the apps that i installed either in apk or zip form do not work. Some crash, camera zoom fx doesnt have the option to take picture and some other apps throw an error message about "can not find the hardware camera" and staff like this. Can someone help me plz?

then it must be an issue in the ROM itself.
either a bad download or an bug in the system.
inquire in the specific rom thread to address the problem and if you have time Google "log cat android" and make a log when you try to open the app.

@tokenpoke its indeed a bug in the system, camera is broken at cm 11atm, you need to apply a fix. The solution can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53381666&postcount=2909 , thnx goes to @webdroidmt for pointing that out.

no need to reroot if you've installed a custom recovery.
most ROMs are already rooted and there is an option when booting your system from recovery that injects root into nonrooted roms
