[Q]Camera Error: Can't connect to the camera.

I've had my One X since May without any issues, but last week the camera just stopped working. When I opened the camera app, I just got a black screen with the normal camera buttons but they do nothing when you touch them. I was able to get the front camera to work, but only in Google+ while hosting a hangout.
The phone is unlocked, and was running Cleanrom 5.0 at the time. I first thought it might be software related so I restored my phone with a nandroid backup from September, but I got the same response from the camera app. Then I did a factory reset, formatted system & sdcard, and installed CM10. Same result... So then I assumed it had to be a hardware issue. I ordered an oem rear camera off of eBay and replaced it. Now when I open camera in CM10 I get this popup:
Camera Error: Can't connect to the camera.
I've also downloaded several other camera apps from Play, but none of them work either.
Does anyone have any other ideas? Any other parts that might be the culprit? My warranty is void since I unlocked it, and I'm well out of my 30 days with AT&T.
Thanks!

You could try to flash the Camfix from the ViperXL thread in Android Dev.
Not entirely sure that would fix it, but it's worth a shot. Wouldn't hurt your phone either.

Are you running a custom kernel or plain CM10?
Try flashing the new gapps. it includes the 4.2 camera

Camfix didn't work

Just plain CM10, I actually already downloaded the new Gallery app from 4.2 and it didn't work.
I think it might be Nexus 4 time if I can't get this figured out soon...
Anyone want a slightly used One X without a camera

Before you give your phone up, try flashing the leaked cam in the apps and themes section.

New AOSP camera from the Google Edition HTC One & GS4

Not my work at all. Just sharing the thread I found in the Android games and apps forum. I couldn't get the apk version to install but this flashable zip is working great on Carbon.

I got the apk from another thread. But it was an apk. I deleted the original gallery apk from the 6-27 carbon nightly. Reboot. Installed like a normal apk. It went nuts and rebooted itself after opening camera Lol. So I simply manually rebooted and it works flawlessly

I tried the apk file first and couldn't get it to install no matter what I tried. I suppose I could have had a bad download. I saw this zip before I tried downloading the apk file again. Flashed it in TWRP and haven't had a single issue with the camera or gallery.

Working great on CM10.1 latest nightly.
Any real advantages to using this over the CM 4.2.2 camera? Considering some of the extra options with the CM camera versus a newer app.

IIRC this will have photosphere. Other than that not sure.

Could someone give me a quick process for getting this on my one x. I haven't done this in a while so I'm a little rusty.
Would the process be...
1. Move the current gallery.apk to a back-up location
2. Install the apk that's contained within the zip file
3. reboot
or
1. Back-up/delete the current gallery.apk
2. Reboot into TWRP/Recovery
3. Install the new gallery.apk from the zip file
4. Reboot into ROM
Any assistance would be extremely helpful. I have been running the latest PACMan ROM and I haven't had the need to do much flashing for a while so I am rusty on the process.

I was able to get the new camera to work on my one x.
One thing that I was curious about was the Photosphere functionality. I can confirm that if it didn't work for you with the 4.2.2 camera on the One X, it still doesn't work with this camera on certain One X models. I believe there are two different gyroscope manufacturers for our phone and Photosphere only works with one of them. Regardless of camera version, so far at least.
Other than that the camera seems to work fine so far. I haven't compared the quality, etc.

Edit screen FC's for me, but everything else seems to work. Thanx.

All I've ever done is flash the zip from the link I posted in the OP. It deletes the old app for you. I've never had any issues with anything I've had to use the new camera for.

If you look in the original thread in the first post you will see this has been flashed on a variety of different devices.
And as it is the Samsung Galaxy GS4 camera I thought hey can't be much difference between a GS3 & 4 and hey presto I was right.
At the end of the day android is made for multiple devices, that's the beauty of it all for all not device specific.

Yes, I understand that it's been flashed on multiple devices. That's why I said you should check the original thread from my OP. My reasoning was that you are way more likely to get help in that thread, since it wasn't in a specific device forum, than the one I posted in the One XL forums.

Second link in my third post is the flashable zip. It fixes the crashing while using photo sphere on the s4. I don't know if it will work right on our tablet. You can try if you want, just make a backup. If you already tried that then it needs some dev work..

The 2nd Camera doesnt work.
It works great on my S4 mini but when I try to take pictures with the 2nd camera, the app says that the connection can't be done. What can I do?

I can't stop it since everytime I run it, it says android system fcs for some reason. So I just froze it. I hope that also stops it as well.

So, I have been using this and love it. However, I have noticed that if I have music playing through Spotify or some other application, the MotoAssist feature will not read out my text messages. If I turn off Viper4Android and don't have Spotify going while driving, the program reads off my texts without any problems. Can anyone here verify this?

I love Viper but I wish the Moto X sounded like my nexus 7 that I have dash mounted. There are more tweaks in Viper on the Nexus. Sounds good on the X but doesn't come close to the Nexus.

Please explain how there are more tweaks in viper 4 android on your nexus device. The V4A app is a single app there is not a special one made for a nexus unless you choose different ui settings within the V4A app all tweaks are the same no matter what device you use it on so please enlighten me.

The installation no longer asks what kind of chipset you have. It now only asks the quality type you would like (Extreme, super, or high). I'm really hoping here that someone can speak to audio being muted through Moto Assist when using V4A. Anyone?

In your other post, you mentioned turning off V4A and Spotify fixed your problem...any chance the problem is caused by Spotify and not V4A?
I can't offer any insight to the problem since I'm not rooted yet, but I miss V4A from my Galaxy Nexus days and it's the main reason I want to root...however, if it really is V4A that's causing Moto Assist issues, I might think twice.
Thanks.

Anyone can confirm if Moto Assist reading of texts works with this or not, or if that experience up the thread was more a problem with Spotify?
