Did you have another thread about that here?
Anyways, what makes you think a custom ROM will fix your camera? A stock phone should have a working camera, period.
Have you tried downloading a third party camera app, like Camera 360 or Vignette demos to see if the camera will work with them?
How do you know the camera isn't defective, hardware-wise?
You're just going to complicate returning the phone for warranty or exchange by rooting it; so make sure you have good hardware first. Exchange the phone if the camera doesn't work...

I purchase second hand everything else works but the camera nothing else force closes

Maybe busted camera is why they sold it...?
Please try going to the Settings/Applications/Manage Applications menu. Click on All apps. Scroll down to Camera. Tap it. On the screen that opens, try clicking on Clear Data and Clear Cache (if it's able).
Also, I really suggest you try a free camera app like Vignette Demo or something else to see if they work.
Do you have any apps that use the camera, like maybe the barcode scanner app, or Google Goggles? Do the work?
Have you tried a factory reset on the phone?
I'm all for rooting, but if you're only rooting to try to fix the camera, doesn't make sense. More back on topic, the original response you got with the link is the simplest way.

Yea I have tried every free camera app and nothing works and I hard reset and clear cache multiple times I'm sure its a hardware issue but with rooting I was hoping to flash a new Tom and pray the software would fix the camera but for now I need a stock camera apk

call samsung to have it serviced
or get the seller to refund the money back to you

Send it back to Samsung. The camera should work fine with the stock software. Rooting only has the potential to cause problems, since you don't know what the issue is.

I am pretty sure you aren't going to be able to replace the one you already have anyways. I think you would need to be rooted. If ALL camera apps are force closing, it isn't the stock camera app. You need to service it with Samsung.

MIUI Camera

Ok so I just put MIUI onto my phone and I love it however I have a question I'm hoping someone might have an answer for.
When using the camera/ camcorder in landscape mode the pictures/videos save in portrait mode. Is this a common issue with ROMs for this phone maybe due to a porting issue and is there any fix that I can do? I tried a few apps but that didn't change anything either. Is my only option a return to stock?!
Btw this normally wouldn't be an issue but I just got my tickets for Armin and want some good videos.

I myself had same issue. Went in the gallery and click on the picture/video then there is a option I believe its the 3rd option on top and could rotate the image. It saved that way too. Hope that helps

Pictures that seems to work for but unfortunately not videos

Stock camera question

I just noticed on the galaxy s3 while on a call I can't use camera. (It gives me Unable to start camera on a call). I know on my wifes DROID Razr she could take pictures while on a phone call..
I'm stock rooted with trinity kernel.
Is there a fix for that?

I'm on Synergy and have no problems using the camera on call.
Can you try downloading a camera app from the play store (maybe pudding camera or something) and tell us if you get the same result?
Also to the other people experiencing this issue, what roms are you running?

the stock camera won't do it. use aa third party camera app

Downloaded pudding camera didn't work during call. But another 3rd party camera called camera ics did work during call. I guess I'll have to switch to synergy.

What Camera App Do you use

I do not see this in the OPO thread so I thought I would ask as I am searching for a good camera app.
What do you use? And what made you choose that?

Stock Cm11s Camera. Seems to take great quality pictures and I love the over aggressive HDR

I don't like clear image. Am I the only one?

I have a strange issue with My Opo.
Every third party app i use for take picture, every time i take a photo with flash, the picture has a line in the middle. Like two different brightness.
In sad because Snap Camera takes awesome picture.

It´s still working fine with 33R on your 1+1?

Camera Awesome
But something like Nokia Lumia Camera will be great

I use stock CM11S, very useful macro function and continous shooting.

New Cyanogenmod alpha for N920t

Has anyone tried it yet? Been using it as my daily driver and it's pretty amazing. This isn't a joke for anyone who like myself thought we'd never have cyanogenmod on our note 5s. Just wondering if anyone has tried it what are your thoughts

Link?

Yeah, we still need to install Gapps. I use opengaps. It's running great so far for an alpha including call audio. Of course make a nand backup just in case . Make you sure you read through the thread carefully.

Oh I use textura. So I'm not sure. I'd report it in the thread so Rayman can see it. The battery life isn't the best either. But for an alpha it's pretty impressive.

can fix with sms messaging (aosp) from play store

Also the video isnt working on the phone, recording video on camera or snapchat. It records on the camera but then it freezes when you play it back. and on snapchat is just says recording failed.

Camera quality does not seem very good. The only thing that may make me switch back to a Samsung based ROM.
Anyone else notice a camera quality difference?

Yeah, it seems the same for me. I'm tempted to dual boot though. I do like this rom for the most part.

Thanks for the heads up, been waiting for this.

4G LTE is currently non functional it cuts on for a spit second and cuts off unusable unless on WiFi or awful 3g but glad to see the devs working hard keep it up hope to have this as my daily driver
