[Q] MIUI Camera

Sensation with Reverted AOSP
I was testing out the Miui Camera for CM7. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15307536)
Installed via Root Explorer. Copied original Camera.apk>sdcard, MiuiCameramod>system/app renamed to Camera.apk, changed permissions and owners. Reboot
Camera works fine. Gave me an option to zoom in camera mode and camcorder mode, onscreen. Played around with features.
Decided to revert to Classis CM7 Camera.apk.
Removed Camera.apk (miuimod version), copied Original Camera.apk from sdcard to system/app changed permissions and owners.
Using the stock camera now, the ZOOM of the camcorder is permanently stuck to up. See attached picture.
The zoom bar doesnt move when touched. This only occurs on CM7 ROMs.
Steps Taken to resolve:
Using the Miui ROM, camera has full functionality. Took videos and pictures to try "kick" the hardware back into working order. No difference.
Using the Stock HTC Sense Rom, camera has full functionality. Took videos and pictures, same as above, no kick.
Using CM7 Roms, Video Recording is Zoomed permanently. Tried using different market video apps with mixed recording views. Some zoomed some not.
Reflashing the Same rom does NOT work. Even after Factory Reset + Cache + Dalvik clear.
Updated to bricked kernel. (I thought I might try it as some camera dependancies are from the kernel.
So basically im trying to kick my camera(video recording) hardware out of its permazoomed mode in CM7.
Anyone have any ideas? How would one reset/resolve camera issues?
Also: For you sensation users: DO NOT flash the Miui Camera mod to your phone. Unless you want to be like me, and have a permanently zoomed camcorder.
Any help appreciated, Thanks.

Bump. Any ideas?

Flash your RUU, then root again and flash the ROM you had before the mod buggered things up.
OR super wipe and restore your nandroid you took before flashing the mod

Revert back to 4.1 camera from 4.2

I just installed the 4.2 apps zip from http://phandroid.com/2012/11/06/android-4-2-gapps-package-download/
and the camera keeps FCing on me. It will take 1 picture then freeze on that picture, and close and cant open it again, nor did the picture actually save. Ive tried to reinstalled other signed gapps zips and even upgraded on my CM10 nightly to the latest one but still nothing.
is there specific instructions to remove camera?

First, this is the development section, not the Q&A section. You'll probably get more help if you posted this in the right sub-forum.
Second, why didn't you make a nandroid before you flashed the apps zip?

You need to tap on the screen before you take the picture because auto focus is wacky. If you do that you can take multiple pictures without the camera app locking up.
It has been proven this is the work around for now.

You need to use a root explorer and go into your system folder and delete it that way then you will have only your original camera

Installed new CM 10...No Camera

I dont have ten posts so I have to post here:
I installed CM10-OpenSensation2-Pdroid last night. I went straight to that from Viper. There is no camera widget. I tried to access the camera from the lockscreen and it said "could not connect to camera".
Wha happen?!?

Did you flash gaaps? I run paranoid Android and have a camera, in fact it's the newest camera! You must flash 4.2 gaaps with these roms. If you did flash gaaps and still no camera, full wipe, reinstall, it should give camera. Although I don't run that Rom, I'm sure gaaps will give camera. Hope this helps. Best wishes

Try to re-download the rom, full wipe and reinstall all.
The gapps you need are the latest for android jb. You'll find them on goo.im.
Gapps also DON'T interfere with camera.

Did all of that, but wiped everything one last time and did it all again. Still no camera or Gapps (had to install Gmail and Maps) despite the fact I installed the file (gapps-jb-20121011).
Also, another minor problem: Though the ROM mostly runs smoothly, on a few screens here and there and on most notifications the text gets laggy and leaves a trail.

Gapps don't include apps like Gmail or Maps.
It includes the apps for your Google account and services.
OS2 is still in beta for me. You should try the Kang of bruce and manually replace Clock and Camera.

OS2 is still in its initial stage and I have seen so many users complaining about camera..
Try another ROM and see if you get camera..

Fixed it. Thanks

Camera has stopped, please help

Hi guys, Nexus 5, stock but rooted, 4.4.2
I tried installing a sony camera app (flashing the zip in CM recovery), it didn't work, but it also stopped the Google Camera from working (I get the "Camera has stopped" error).
I've removed the sony camera using toot explorer, I've tried uninstalling Google Camera updates and re-installing, I've also flashed Jishnu's "restore to stock" zip file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/mod-jishnus-camera-t2516061
Still no luck, can anyone help so I don't have to reinstall everything?
thanks

I've done a couple of factory resets and it's doing the same when it boots

Is the camera apk in the correct folder with correct permissions?
Permissions should be rw-r--r-- (have a look at other apps in the same folder and copy their permissions).
Once you've done that reboot to recovery and clear Cache and Dalvik.
Here's the correct locations for the two different cameras:
New Google camera (com.google.android.Googlecamera-1.apk) = /data/app/
Older "standard" camera (camera2.apk) = /system/app/
Also make sure no traces of the Sony camera are left... check through your folder
Not saying it will 100% work, but worth a try if nothing else does!

The zip might have deleted some of the stock camera libs which are needed to load the stock camera. If I were you, I would backup and flash the factory images and then re-root and restore the backup! (TiBu)
Edit: Since it's just the camera, you could try flashing just the system.img and see whether the camera is fixed or not!

Or install titanium backup and backup all apps, reflash room, reatore apps

Always make a backup first before doing anything. Most especially since you're rooted. It's easy to make a backup in TWRP.
You can reflash the rom without losing any data. Just use flashtool and don't check any of the boxes under "wipe".
