Well I have exhausted my time and efforts looking for a camera that works.
What I'm looking for is a camera app that does video as well in HD
I am currently on the Hood Pope rom, and the stock camera works on it, HD recording works and camera works as well, so that's fine.
Issue I run into is, if I use say slimbean rom, or the newer 4.4 kitkat rom, both those have issues with HD recording, it locks up the camera.
I have looked high and low for a replacemnt that will do what I want it to but have to no avail found anything that does not lockup and that works.
Cameras I have tried thus far are:
LGCamera (locked up),
CameraMX (locked up),
Focal (Locked up),
PUdding camera (didn't even work),
Cymera (great pics, but camera only),
LINE camera (camera only, but worked well),
Camera Effects (Camera only)
HD camera ultra (camera only),
Silent Camera (camera only),
Zoom Camera (locks up)
I grow weary of trying stuff and it fails, so I have come here asking if anyone knows of a replacement app I can use that will do what I am looking for?
What is this, and name of this camera

Through a long boring series of accidents, I am now pretty much stuck on the ROM that's installed on my tablet. It's a pretty good ROM, but it has a bug in the camera software that prevents me from recording video from the front-facing camera. With the rear facing camera it records just fine. I guess I can live with it if I have to, but everything worked perfectly on the stock rom that came with my tablet. So I'm wondering how deep into the guts of the tablet the software for the camera has to go, and if there's any hope that I can replace the faulty bits of software on my current OS with the working bits from the stock OS. Both are based on Gingerbread 2.3.5 so I'm hoping it's possible.
I've tested a few replacement camera applications from the google play store, but they are all unable to record off the front camera, so I think this suggests that it's an underlying driver or other library thing. Does anyone know what files are associated with interfacing the camera to the camer app? Are they independent of the kernel, or is the kernel part of this mess? I can still flash a kernel, but I haven't tried for fear it will mess up the current ROM.
Let me be more specific about the problem:
1. front camera works fine for taking pictures or streaming over wifi/3g with those types of apps
2. If I'm using the rear camera I can switch to video mode, but if I then swap to the front camera the app force closes. Conversely, if I'm using the front camera and I switch to video mode, the app also force closes.
Bumping for help
Hello. Need some help. Flashed JellyBean MagicMod on my Atrix 2 MB865 (was on ICS leak#1). DEscription of the ROM says that face camcorder not work. OK. But I've encountered with back camcorder not working. It starts record normally, but when I press stop button it says that Camera error. There is video clip in gallery, but it can't be opened. Is there any solution? I have read all thread about this rom. Help.
a couple of lines below that clearly states that camera/camcorder is not working on any custom camera app , you need either go back to ics, wait till dev figure it out or live with it

You are right about custom app. But I'm trying to use system cam app and getting such error. Other people said about fully working rear camera video recording.
Camcorder not working is a known issue for CM10 and MagicMod. If camcorder or camera are important to your phone use, then you need to use a Moto Rom. You can try other apps and playing around with the included camcorder to try and get it to work (i think some have), but I wouldn't hold my breath or rely on the camera or camcorder working at 100%.
I got the camera working fairly well with CameraZoom FX although it takes very noisy pics. Camcorder never really worked for me on CM10 or MagicMod, but I never used it to begin with so I don't miss it and have not played around with trying to get it to work.
Ok so recently ive been having issues with my MTS4G (it used to work fine so i dont believe its a rom issue) - but i am running KK DS1.2 - which is awesome. I still miss the original sense based camera and as such have set out on a missin to find the best camera app--- hence i have the stock KK camera (i.e. camera) as well as following apps installed:
1) Ucam
2) Focal
3) camera zoom
4) procapture
5) camera KK
Again dont think its the rom , but for 2 weeks now (ive had rom for say several months now) , but when i switch to camcorder (stock KK camera app) mode and preess record all i see is a "halo" around the record button, at which time the video being displayed on phone (which is supposed to be recording) freezes for a second, then resumes as if it were recording. but i see no recording notice, or any timer indicating its recording and the default app (on a good day) makes 0 (zero) byte mp4 files. Not sure where to start i see that KK DS 1.3 is out, but was hoping to figure out what might be the cause of the issue.
I do see that when i press the record , the LED fires up as it used to , but it just doesn't seem to record anything.
Perhaps i have too many camera apps (was trying to compare and find best one) - but my camera with all the apps works great, but after several months of using the camcorder (in ANY app) i cant get it to work at all --- the led light comes on, but it doesn't seem to record anything.
suggestions?
Hey everyone!
I am experiencing an issue with Google Camera on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-989) using KitKat ROM's (currently on SlimKat build 7, though I also tried the latest Carbon ROM and the same issue is present there)
Here's the description of the issue:
When I open Google Camera (the one downloaded from Play Store, which has PhotoSphere functionality), the app will open up fine. I can also switch to any of the modes (photo, video, panorama, PhotoSphere) fine. However, if I switch to Panorama or PhotoSphere mode, I will be unable to switch back to photo or video mode; the viewfinder will simply freeze up (the camera app still responds to touch, but the viewfinder will be stuck in the panorama/PhotoSphere mode and the screen doesn't update). Attempting to tweak the settings or switch to another mode at this point will often result in the app crashing (forced stop).
The default camera app that comes with the SlimKat ROM works fine, but I am really hoping to have a working PhotoSphere camera on the S2 if possible (GalaxyS2Roots.com reported the Google Camera to be working "flawlessly" on Carbon ROM, but not for me!)
Does anyone know if this is a known issue in KK for this particular phone?
Hi, this is my first thread here, and I really have a big problem been occurring since I started modding my Galaxy S3 I747 (AT&T version) using CyanogenMod, I have tried Android Lollipop on it, but I had issues with my Google Camera app, front camera, and also video. Each time I open my google camera app and choose video the app crash saying "Unfortunately, camera has stopped". and each time I try to take a pic using front camera, the app freeze then run back again without taking my photo. So the issue is only in the front camera, and in the video. I have tried Retrica app, works fine for me for both Front and rear camera. any other application that uses the camera crashed the whole phone.
Please if someone cracked this part it would be great, If there is a way to fix the camera issue.
Note: Any app that uses front camera crashes or show blank screen when viewing camera, like Skype, and more. show only blank!
Currently I have CyanogenMod 13, unofficial Android 6.0.
