Hi Everyone!
First, I know this has been discussed many times, but it was never solved under any topic, and all topics are pretty old...
Maybe someone has some new method for fixing this?
Upon entering any camera app, it just throws me back to homescreen, or displays "can't connect to camera"(depending on the rom).
Also, usind z-device, both cameras and flash are red-crossed. I can not initialize flash with any app neither.
I have tried all the possible roms, it happens on all of them.
Of course, tried clearing cache of the app too..
Did anyone fix this issue, or is this purely hardware ?
Thanks in advance!
Have you done a full partition wipe and format?

Hi. Have you completely wiped and formatted all of your partitions before flashing your ROMS? If you are using 4EXT then you can just use the option "format all partitions (except sdcard)". Use Titanium backup to backup your apps before doing this. I also always make a complete backup of the previous ROM, just-in-case, I need to quickly fallback in case of disaster. Then flash the ROM and then the GAPPS. If you have done this and things still do not work, then there is definitely something different about your device. In general, the camera is quite buggy in many of the ROMs I have tried. With one ROM trying to make a video recording will cause the gallery to crash and then I will get the same error about not being able to connect to the camera, but, once I reboot, this message goes away and I can take pictures again. Good luck!

Hi everybody.
After i flashed the new Android Revolution HD cfw onto my dhd, i wasn't able to download anything from the market. I can view everything but every time i try to load something i get an error msg. Loading failed, please try again later...
i tried many things, deleting the market app, clearing the cache, disabling google talk, but nothing seems to work. google isn't a big help either...
i hope that anybody has an idea that might work.
thanks a lot

has you tried to do full wipe (with fullwipe v.03.zip for example..) and then re-flash again?
no, i have not, because i'm afraid of doing the whole setting up thing again... contacts, progs, etc. i thought that there might be a way of correcting the problem without wiping the whole mobile.
i thought a full wipe is not necessary before flashing a whole rom, because it's overwriting your old fw and deleting all the old stuff... hmm does that also delete my clockworkmod? what exactly does that wiping tool delete?
thanks for your answer

I read about fullwipe and performing one now.. hopefully this will work... do i need to flash my radio again, after that?
No you shouldn't need to flash a new radio unless this ROM is giving you issues with the radio you are using, check the Android Revolution post for the recommended radio to use.
ah okay, i ment "should i flash my radio again". i did already flash the apropriate radio...

hey thanks for your help. it's working now
Hi, i've bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC Sensation and was running Android Revolution HD for Sensation gingerbread. my Camera app has suddenly stopped working... I've tried updating to latest ICS from Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 but still the camera is not working. when i start the app... the screen flashes and then again I'm back on the home screen. Strangely, when using application "mirror" it starts the front camera... and that is working fine... and i've tried multiple apps from market for back camera...but its not working using any of them... can you please help me out with this... any help in this would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

this is weird did you tried other camera apps?
if its still not working then
do a superwipe and flash rom again and see(this method erases data ..so backp them before hand)
Similar problem, if i click the camera or camcorder icon the screen goes black, it either stays black until i take the battery out or it crashes and restarts?! Weird, cant use it to take pics in any other apps either. front camera is fine on skype though...!? everything is uptodate nothing was updated recently?! Anyone
(Im on stock)
This happened to me once when i was stock. I would do a battery pull and it would work again..but finally did a hard restore through recovery and cleared all the caches and that worked. Now im rooted and on energy GB rom and I have not had that problem anymore.
Just flashing a new rom did not help. I actually had to do a factory reset on the ROM as well..in the Setting/storage.
Never ran into this problem

Have u tried maybe a different rom??

I would suggest clearing the app data.
Have you news. I have the same problem and have yet to find any solution. If you have one I'd be grateful for it.

Go to Task Manager>>Advanced>>All apps>>Find the Camera app and select it>>Force Close if it is running & then Clear Data.
This should fix it.
If not, get this app. Go to primary and secondary camera, & check if they both work.
If it works, then there's a problem with the stock app.
If not, there is either a problem with the camera or with camera access.
I would suggest reflashing your current ROM, since this seems to solve issues, many a time.
Try installing another pyramid
have you tried to download a special or customized pyramid from the sensation android development department and then tried out your 4g??? a customized pyramid + tweaks will allow the htc camera to work because the htc family usually creates htc's like as if they were real babies.. the htc's adapt to you and then little by little all the problems like "over-heating reset, camera faults and random keyboard touches" are common problems with the htc... installing a different pyramid or returning it for another new one will usually fix this..

Thanks for this mate...As I said I have re-flashed the rom several times but get the same issue!

As far as I can tell, your camera is not being detected.
I would recommend that you do this:
1>NANDROID backup
2>SuperWipe (it can be found in this post at the very end)
3>Re-install ROM (Remember to check MD5 before installing)
4>Check if the Camera works.
If not, then Super Wipe and restore your previous backup.
If it works, get back to me. (PM me if I don't reply)
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

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

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.
Hey all,
None of the threads related to my issue helped me very much and the issue is still persistent.
Here's what happened. I flashed a new ROM (from CM11 to Purity). Before I flashed, I wiped System, Dalvik Cache, Cache, and Data. Usually there's no issue when I proceed with this method. I opened up the camera app and it had no front camera option. I tried other third party apps but still no luck.
I've heard that this is a hardware bug... which kind of confuses me since it was working fine while I was on CM11 M5.
If anyone has any experience with this or has dealt with the same issue, please let me know!
Thanks,

Why not try flashing something else?
I would flash the latest firmware to completely reset your device. If the front camera is working then you should be able to start flashing ROMs again.

Google Apps
I mistakenly forgot to check flash the google apps provided in you description before booting cm12, and now I'm not quite sure how to flash them. I tried to download the TWRP recovery app directly to my phone through the browser app but it crashes every time I open it.
The zip file is already on my phone. How can I flash them?
Thanks
On the latest build (1/10) when I take a screenshot the screenshot notification gets stuck at "Saving Screenshot...". The screenshot is taken and saved but I am unable to clear the notification from the drop down tray. I have to reboot to clear the notification.

Same way you flash ROM, well besides wiping any partitions. Every time you update ROM you need to flash GApps.
Does anyone know anything about screen off CRT effect as in is it coming to cm12 and is it available for 11? I remember cm7 had it along with stock lg ROM having it. Thanks.

Chrome Tabs not able to switch
I am on the latest nightly and can't seem to change tabs in chrome (it won't let me swap or close specific tabs) I have taken a logcat and Attached it to this post. is anyone else having this problem? i am in the process of backing up and wiping to do a clean boot to check to see if i can reproduce this problem. I will update this post if I am or am not able to reproduce this problem and update the log if needed
***UPDATE*** Wipe and clean install seems to have cleared up the problem
Speaker quality
Did a clean install. Everything works well. Except the sound. At low levels it sounds "OK". If I turn the volume up, which doesn't seem to be loud at all, the speaker pops a cracks like it's blown. This happens irregardless of the music/movie app being used. It happens on notifications. I've been lurking the forums and searching threads trying to find some mention of the same problem. I'm a confessed noob so please be gentle.

Thank you for your reply. I did see that while searching and I did try it. It didn't resolve my issue. At very low volumes there is no static. Anything above half will produce a static crackling sound. To the point that it overwhelms the music. I made a backup and restored my factory backup. The speaker works fine with a rooted factory setup. I've not seen one person describe the problem I'm having in the pages that I've read. That makes me think that the problem is either with the way I installed the rom or with this specific phone. Ill wipe it and reinstall again. Again thanks for taking the time to try to help.

folder mess
i'll start out by saying i'm one for simple and logical folder orginazation
that said, is there any way to turn off the emulated storage symlink mess in cm12? i don't plan to use multiple users (never have, never will) and i'm tired of the multi user garbage in newer versions of android. i just want a simple setup such as /mnt/sdcard0 (1, 2, etc...) like old android had. if anyone can give me instructions on how to do this i'd be thankful as the new system makes a mess out of gallery apps and the like. if not, i'll probably just backdate through android versions until i can get to something that behaves like 2.2 did with folders.
Any word on exfat support?
I found the file that I used to flash when I was on LG OG, it doesn't seem to work with cm12. I world flash my new/updated ROM and then flash this to get access to my ExFAT sdcard.
Maybe someone smarter than I can tweak it?
