Hey all, I was updating the system apps of my mtk6589 device (infinix X451 - RBoltQ, android 4.2.1) device ie calender, email , deskclock, launcher etc to that of the android 4.4Kkat . Thay all worked perfectly it felt cool. I then updated my camera to that android 4.2.2 (all done with root explorer and link2SD ). Later on I came across the google camera. It always FC so I thought maybe making it a system app (using Link2SD) & deleting my other camera apps will resolve the issue. This didn't work . I even changed some lib files like I saw on a blog (libjn...mosaic,liblightcycle, lib..google.. - backed them all manually 1st though) still no avail. Now I restored the normal camera and the lib files, with their required permissions (root explorer) but ALL CAMERA apps installed FC ..even with a hard reset, the camera icon is NO LONGER there , only the gallery (for the stock camera). Apps like Antutu BM and Dx toolbox can't detect the camera (front and rear) or say Not supported. Same with apps that use Cam or flash or both. Flashlight too is no longer available while I noticed that the Glauncher now FC when I want to change wallpaper and the STOCK RECOVERY now shows an android with a red exclamaition mark. Gone 3 weeks without the camera, FL and now going through blogs and forums & I just don't know what to do.. Please any help will be appreciated as I don't want to loose my mtk device or its camera - even as my joy of getting my first android smartphone last year (dec 29) is turning into a nightmare. Thanks in advance.
(Sorry mods if I posted in the wrong section, kindly help me move it to the right place if possible, thanks)
Did you make backup before? I don't think so. Try to flash stock recovery and then install stock ROM (or custom ROM).

In regards to camera problem
Ok, so i'm in exactly the same situation you are in as the recording feature of the stock camera app or any app failed to work for me (froze and crashed app). So far I have found two fixes, the first one thanks to a user called "RambJoe", so thank him if it works (it didn't work for me )
Fix 1-
1. Install/Open a file explorer on your device (I used ESFileExplorer)
2.Enable "Root Explorer" (Under Menu>Tools>Scroll to bottom on ES)
3.Navigate to system/etc/init.d/80cfw (This file seems to be missing on my phone, and I have found other people who have not got it as well. I believe it is because this guide isn't compatible with the International version of the SII i9100, so if you do not have it, skip to Fix 2)
4.Change the permission of the 80cfw file to rwx r-x r-x (Select the file, tap on "More" and scroll down to "Properties" and change the permissions from there)
5. Save and reboot, that should do the trick!
The next fix requires you to have Titanium Backup (FREE) to be installed or another such app that can delete/modify system apps. You can thank me for this one
Fix 2-
1. Download this apk *DO NOT INSTALL YET* - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858 (Thanks nexūs0 for upload)
2. Open up Titanium and back up, then delete your stock Gallery app
3.Find and install the apk you downloaded in step one
4.Open up the Gallery app and you should find the camer ON THE GALLERY APP ONLY working correctly (it did for me, anyway). The other camera apps still do not work
Don't forget to tell me if this helped you and feel free to PM me if you need assistance!

So you have a rooted device.
Then you may extract the needed apk files from the stock firmware.
Here are some stock firmware version for xour device: All Xolo Mobile Official Firmware & Flasher Only.
If it doesn't work, you may have to flash the ROM you have now again to get the deleted files back.
And next time, before removing any system files, please create a backup. Then you can always go back to this by restoring the backup (e.g. in a custom recovery).

Flashed rom multiple times but no use. Even Flashed various different roms but again no use. Sometimes on new rom camera comes for a minute then again icon vanishes and other apps also stop working.
I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone with anything similar to this...
Using COS12.1 - yog4pas1n0
TWRP Installed
Rooted
Xposed Installed
ColorOS Camera
Those are the biggest recent changes I've made to my OPO . But recently, the camera will fail for video recording only for all apps (Snapchat, Camera, Instagram, Whatsapp etc.)
I've rebooted a numerous times and always the same result, it'll work after boot (repeatedly) but then fail to work a few minutes after.
I've uninstalled all the Xposed Modules thinking one of them could be the issue
Ran a boot manager to run only the essentials, but still the same issue
I can still take photos but it's just the video recording
Any suggestions from anyone?

I installed the new Samsung gallery apk from apkmirror.com .It wa from the Grace UX.. Unfortunately when i open the gallery the folders doesn’t show the name.. and setting a wallpaper becomes a bit irritating as the menus dont appear like "lockscreen", "homescreen", "homescreen & lockscreen".
I tried installing the old gallery apk which i got in the S7 forum but it fails to install.. What should i do now to go back to the older version? I haven't taken a backup of the older version and i am not rooted too.. stock and unrooted.. please help
Played around with installing TWRP so I could try and flash LineageOS
Couldn't get it to flash, so I just flashed the stock firmware released by Umidigi
Now even after multiple formats and flashes of different firmware versions (All official stock FW) my camera app is missing
Upon going into App Manager the Camera App does appear in it and I can forcestop it, but no way of getting onto the camera, downloading Camera Apps from Play Store doesn't work either as it says the camera is either busy or not found
Unsure what to do, I've flashed and flashed, everything's back to stock too, once you format or flash and the phone sets up, the app icon is missing on the homescreen where it's meant to be
