Camera freezes when I try to take a picture? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
I'm on cyanogenmod, already tried many camera apps and the only one I got working was snapchat
Does anyone else had/have this problem or know how to fix it without wiping the device?
Thanks for your time.

happened to me once, reboot helped.. but make sure, you are on Dalvik runtime (options > developer settings)

I'm already on dalvik and reboots do nothing
A note: the camera doesn't force close, it's just the preview that freezes when I try to take a picture, if switch to video (btw video recording works fine) and back to camera i can see the live preview again. Sadly, it will definitely freeze again if I try to take another picture.

What kernel have you installed? Maybe you have to flash old camera libs

[Q] InsertCoin Camera

Hello,
I am having trouble with the camera on InsertCoin 3.4.6.
I'm using the latest version of the Bricked Kernel and I even used the camfix.
When I take a picture, the entire device locks up.
Can Anyone help me?

have you tried clearing your cache and dalvik? try those or try a camera on the market and see if it happens again. i have camera Zoom fx from the market just in case the rom that i am using at the time isnt working.

[SOLVED]Camera has a weird bug

Hello,
2 weeks ago my phone started to have a strange behaviour:
Every third photo i took was okay, like everytime, but the rest was broken. Basically they wont show any kind of picture information as well as on the device and on the computer.
Im on the latest ViperS ROM and Bricked kernel 1.4, the rest of the device works perfectly.
Any ideas?
Latest vipers? As in the jellybean version? 3.0.0 has no working camera yet. Devs are working on it. If you're on 1.6.3, try a different kernel, or try fix permissions. If these don't help, you might have developed a hardware fault. That won't be possible to fix.
Need to ask. Do you mean it takes a picture but the picture doesn't show up when you go back to look at it or the tags from the image are missing?

The imagefile is there, but it is broken.
By the way, deleting dalvik cache and the normal cache seems to have solved the problem Thanks guys!

[Q] Android 4.3 Camera getting gallery has stopped

Hi,
Thanks for a very helpful forum!
I have installed [ROM] Android 4.3 (JSS15J) on Nexus S in thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380527
Camera works but every 1-4 photo i hangs with message "unfortunately, gallery has stopped" and i have to reopen the camera.
When switching from front to back camera it happens every time. Both cameras work.
Everythins else on the phone works like a charm.
- I'm using TWRP.
- Rooted with UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
- I have tried different gapp packages: gapps-jb43-20130810-dmd151.zip and gapps-jb43-20130726-signed.zip
- I have reinstalled everything severals times from scratch.
- Before every install i have wiped everything thats possible, cache/dalvik etc.
- Tried different camera apps and they dont produce this problem.
- Tried "Take bug report" several times but nothing happens after that, weird.
Ive searched the internet and read every thread on this forum with similar problems, nothings helps.
If anyone out there know anything i dont about fixing this, let me know
I went from stock 4.1.2 and never had any camera problems.

From posts i have read i feel im not alone with this problem, or am i??
Switching from front to back camera makes it FC every time.
Any tip how to dig deeper to find whats going on?
This is how i fixed it!
I changed to this ROM instead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402655
And this gapp package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Much more stable, for me at least.
No more FC when switching camera or taking shots.
Im a very happy puppy!

Help! Nexus 5 Camera Broken After Dodgy Mod

After installing Jishnu's Camera Mod, the opposite effect that was intended happened on my n5 and now the camera is almost useless. it won't focus on anything and is basically unusable. I have tried installing new roms, i just installed a Cyanogenmod nightly by flashing the zip through CWM Recovery but it still hasn't fixed the problem. Someone please help me!!! :S
Get in touch with jishnu by PM and ask for an undue zip. Failing that use a root file Explorer to wipe the files and replace with the right ones. It's only software. I'd uninstall the camera and get it from the play store and move it to a system app
Sent by mobile telephone.
@Neardood1
Go to jishnu camera mod thread, in the op there is a restore back to stock camera flashable zip for 4.4 and 4.4.2, download the appropriate zip and flash it through recovery.
The mod is only for stock, cataclysm and purity ROMs.
I would also recommend making/or having a nandroid backup before flashing any mods or changing system apps on your device, in the event that something should go wrong, restore your nandroid backup and your good as new.
that's the first thing I did and it didn't work. I just installed Cyanogen with the PC app and still its useless. I'm running out of ideas here That mod must have changed something deep in the software for it to f*** it up this much

Hmmm. Yeah something's not right.... I would try to contact jishnu and see what he has to say.
Otherwise you might have to flash back the stock image and start over from scratch.
today isnt a good day
updated to franco r37, Jishnu's Camera fc nonstop
flashed the restore zip -> fc
flashed gapps photosphere zips -> fc
very strange
maybe tomorrow it will working again
Are you performing a full wipe before installing another ROM. There is no way this is a software issue if you are doing this correctly because a new ROM would over write the files that caused the camera issue. Either that or now you have a hardware issue.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
If you really think it's the app, do a complete restore to stock using fastboot adb and the factory image.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerheadkot49h
I've been using the camera mod without problems until today.. FC for me too. Nothing changed that I'm aware of. Reflash didn't help.
@OP
Do you have any other camera apps installed and they also don't work ?
For me only Jishnu's Camera has stopped working, the LG Camera Mod, SnapCam, ProCapture etc. are still working like before
i miss the Jishnu's Cam :crying:
regards
He's posted a new update in the camera thread and now mine is working again. Give it a try.
not for me :crying:
wiped dalvik & cache partition, flashed the Jishnu's Cam v1.5 but still fc
well its seems that the play store/service update kills the cam for me
restored a backup, cam works perfect, updated to the 1.5 version, works perfect
after a while lbe security asked me if the playstore/services should be updated -> allowed and baamm cam killed
restored the same backup again and rejected the update for playstore/services and cam still works
rly strange scenario

Yeah now the camera app will just randomly stop working, so will other apps like snapchat; they all say they can't connect to the camera. I'm starting to think its a hardware fault but that doesn't explain why it stopped working as soon as I installed this mod
How was the end of this story?

If you have bootloader unclocked and custom recovery like twrp in place, then the option with you is to reflash the "fasboot images" of the desired CM version(11S or 12) and then you can revert to the Custom ROM you want and flash full package of GApps version.
thanks for the help. but i figure out the problem.. the camera was not attached properly and i attached it and all is fine now.
