Hello! I recently flashed CM 10.2.1 onto my Galaxy S3 (verizon), and overall I'm completely satisfied with the results. However, I'm no longer able to use the front-facing camera on any third-party apps (facebook, instagram, etc). When I try taking a picture with the front camera, it causes the phone to reboot itself. I've noticed that if I'm using the stock camera from CM 10.2, the front cam works perfectly fine. Yet, when I try using Instagram, Skype, or Camera Zoom FX, the phone is always forced to reboot once I try taking a picture. I was wondering if anyone has ever found a fix for this? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help shed some light on my issue!

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.

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.
Hey guys I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 sgh-i337m running 5.0.1. The problem I'm having is that the front camera is not working properly. When I reboot the phone, the front camera works perfectly fine and will take pictures no problem. If you try to go back and take pictures a second time there is only a black screen. If I try a few times I get the camera failed message. The rear camera always works fine. Other camera apps such as Snapchat, work the same way. The front camera will work right after a reboot but any other time, will just be black. The rear camera always works.
This is obviously not a hardware problem as the camera works just fine after a reboot. I have cleared the data and cache in the camera app, but the problem still remains.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hello,
I have a problem with my Idol 3 Camera. For 2 days, I can't take any photo or video with the stock Camera app. I tried with others apps like Open Camera but same problem, the app crashes or either says me that the camera is currently used by an other application, which isn't the case. Btw, it's working with Messenger and Snapchat, but the quality is very low. And I can take selfies, but when I switch to the front camera, the app is crashing.
My Idol 3 is running the stock ROM and is rooted, do you have any idea to fix this problem ?
Thanks
You can try clearing cache in twrp or in settings/storage press on cached data
