[SOLVED] Galaxy S3 Camera Not working (OLD problems no fix) - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

hello, i love my galaxy s3 and even more because i took the leap and rotted and I am running on roms. My favorite rom is cyanogenmod but I have never gotten the camera to work on it with anything greater than cm10.0. I am currently running AOKP which allows the camera to work which is awesome too but i would love to go back to CM. I have searched for hours but never found a solution that worked. I tried flashing a file that some around this forum and other forums have said fixed the CM camera issue but that did not help. If anyone know of a fix so i could use CM10.1 or CM 10.2 I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Have you tried a clean install of CM 10.2? I haven't had any issues with my camera running any custom rom.
Does it work at all, or are you just missing some feature?

I have not tried a clean install. I will try that when I get a chance. The camera sometime opens and I can zoom in and out a few seconds but then it freezes and the phone restarted. Also, other times the camera open to a black screen and freezes and the phone restarts. It really sucks This is the only issue I am having with CM and why I switched to another rom.

Doing a clean install fixed the problem. Thank you so much for your help. I would like to mark this thread as SOLVED but i do not know how. Hopefully an admin can do this.

[Q] Fring issues when flashing any other Rom/Kernal other than stock

I'm having issues with Fring force closing every time it try's to bring up the front facing camera in video calls. Now I know this thread usually wouldn't belong in Android Development, but it only happens when I'm not using the Stock Rom or Kernal. I've tried the Baked Snack ROM, Tha Boss Rom, & Andromeda Galaxy Rom and they are all exhibiting the same problem. Also, I've tried using the Kernals that come with each rom, and also the MixUP kernal and its the same thing. I'm not sure if its because of some conflict that occurs, or what. Is anyone having this problem?
I've had the same problem. Flashing back to stock did fix it.
have you guys tried clearing the data? just a thought.
I have the same issue, i have to flash to stock then flash a rom, if i flash more than one rom it force closes, then after flash to stock and nand droid backup sometime it will work and other times it wont, just seems to be hit or miss for me goodluck on getting it figured out
Good to know it's not just me. Thanks for the responses. It's my girls phone so I'll see which she prefers (Rooted/Rom'd/Kernaled or Fring). She'll probably choose Rooted though because of the better battery life. I'll keep an eye out for a fix.
Same with me in BOSS ROM v0.2

Yeah I think it's an issue with all the roms as of right now. Hopefully one of the Devs will take notice of this issue and work out a fix for us. Thanks in advance guys.
Add me to the list...using Andromeda and it gives me the FC everytime...going back to stock fixes it.
Thought I was the only one too...
Yep fring definitely doesn't work with custom roms, I have tried every possible combo and nothing helps. Stock looks like the only option so far

[Q] Keep getting random 'No Service Area' on Cyanogenmod

Hi all,
My LG G2x phone flash with Pheonix Blood 1.6 CM7 is acting weird. It would have full signal bar, but I can't make or receive call. I would get a message saying 'No Services Area', but then it would work again after a few try. It happen when I do not use the phone for awhile and it sit there on my desk or in my pocket. I seem to only get this error when I am using CM7, because the Miui Rom is fine when I try it. I google it but not many post out there with this issue, and the one that do has it has no answer. Could someone please help? thank you.

I'd say re-flash and if that doesn't fix it, go to a different ROM. I used Phoenix Blood myself for about a day, then switched. Check your PM.
Yeah try reflash a couple of rom, seem like any cyanogenmod base rom give me that issue, and Miui give me random crash.
Phoenix Blood is technically a mod based on CM7, don't blame it on CM7. I had problems with PB as well, the one I have now, none. Haven't tried MIUI.
Yeah, I try the stable build from cyanogenmod website, the nightly build from the G2X forumn, and Eagle blood with all the same result for some reason. Yet stock and Miui doesn't have that issue. So that was why I though it was a CM issue.

If so it would have to be something with your phone, I don't get that problem and I haven't seen it mentioned before. Let me know how it goes with the ROM and Kernel I mentioned to you, and don't forget to flash gaaps.
Yup tried that kernel and rom you recommended and still having the same issue. Guess back to either stock or Miui for now and hope for better luck with ICS.

Havent you experienced the unresponsive bottom in most of the apps ? or sometime with the home screen itself ? I tried it and went back to CM10.1 RC5. I would suggest wait for the issues to be resolved, looks like this rom is in nascent stages...

Usually that problem is because the Pie trigger is on the bottom edge of the screen. Move the trigger and you should be fine.

[Q] Help with RemICS ROM installation

It's my first time to actually take the plunge and install a custom ROM and I seem to have encountered a problem. I followed the instructions to install RemICS ROM and initially everything went well. I turn on the device and everything seems to work except for the preinstalled MX Player and Apollo. That won't be a problem since maybe I could download replacements. The problem comes with locking the screen. I press on the lock button and the screen turns off. However, pressing the lock or home button does not turn on the screen, and the device proceeds to just heat up and use battery. I've tried returning to the stock ROMs and there seems to be no problem. Just with RemICS. Note though that I am not using 5.7.2 RemICS since it cant be downloaded for bandwidth reasons, I'm on 5.7.1. Thank you!

i think 5.7 or 5.6 or 5.2 the most stable till now ,
and All 5.x.x is not for everyday use it's just to testing new Mod's ,
i now use 5.2 And every think is ok and good ...
i will build new rom with next alpha6 with HW fixing ....
this bug you talk about is from new Tweaks i think it's too much so i remove the big one

Thanks for your reply. I'm downloading the 5.7 ROM now. Will the same TouchWiz and GApps files I downloaded with the 5.7.1 ROM work here? Also, is my understanding correct that I first install the RemICS zip (199MB), then install the Fix-RemICS-A4-A5 zip (25MB), then the FixSU zip in that order?

Front facing camera issue

Hey,
So I got my Oneplus One few days ago. It was running Cyanogenmod 11s front facing camera was working fine by then. Then i figured to switch to resurection remix did that, and when i tried to access the front facing camera the program just froze and crashed. Then I went for AK Kernel, still crashing, went for Paranoid Android now with default kernel still nothing, tried multiple camera programs, nothing seemed to solve this problem.
So does anyone know what's up ? Why it doesnt work ?
Any help is highly apreciated.

What ?
I mean i do it everytime i reinstall/install new rom.
I even installed Oxygen OS Same problem, nothing fixed i did it as cleanely as posible Formated every possible section i could. Anyone to help ?
bump
Did you updated also the firmware? Or just ROM?
Nah just the rom, dont know what you mean by firmware
I mean i installed the cm12.1 newest nightly first, then went for Resurection Remix and so on
And you left the firmware on cm11s? How did you manage to install 12.1? Did you read the installation instructions, cause every Rom I tried states update your firmware. You'll find a link to the latest one somewhere near the ROM download.
**** maybe i dont understand something what do you mean by firmware, can you explain more in depth ? Because i did everything that paranoid android tutorial shows and see nothing changed, I tried instaling a rom it came with it was cm 11s 44r still same stuff nothing changed.
Do you mean i should flash CM 12S first, then go for other roms ?
Edit : So newest 12.1 Nightlies dont have newest firmware itself ?
