[Q] Can't Connect to the camera : Android > Oneplus One - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am having issue with my camera "can't connect to the camera" on oneplus one (64gb).
Recently i formatted my system data using TWRP and after that it showed NO OS INSTALLED. So i downloaded nightly build from cyanogenmod's website and sideloaded the build in fastboot mode with gapps as well. During this process l lost recovery & backup, & encountered Can't connect to the camera issue, Please Help.
Everything was working properly even after this my device was much lightning fast & smoother.
But when i opened my Google camera then it displayed Can't Connect to the camera. I did almost all the things-
1. Firstly restarted the device to check whether it can be fixed by this method or not but my issue didn't resolve then i force stopped camera by clearing cache & data & then restarted the device but still same pop up appeared. On some forum thread's i also found that by installing app "Camera (CMFix) for Cyanogenmod" from play store will fix this issue, but app was not getting launched my problem didn't get resolve.
2. After getting all this issue i thinked to install snapshot build to check whether i can use my camera but this thing didn't work as well.
3. On so many forum's i found that changing the ROM will fix this issue so i downloaded Paranoid Rom and installed it but still my issue with camera didn't resolve.
I am following XDA forum as viewer since so years time and also i know that from here i can get fastest solution.
This is my first post on XDA developers cause i didn't find solution for this issue
Please please help me as i did almost all thing to fix my issue. I am ready to do anything to solve this issue. Please help

what version of gapps did you installed? in order for the camera to work you must install the "mini or micro" gapps package, when you are running AOSP, somehow the complete gapps package breaks the camera.
you can get the micro gaaps package from PA, it works for me https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15797

To clarify this, you can install any gapps package as long as it doesn't contain a camera.

I did this once and had to flash cm11s once and then whatever rom I wanted after that in order to have a working camera.

Does anyone have a problem with PARANOIDANDROID about camera and internet phone?
These are the specified questions I would like to ask you.
1. The pixel of rear camera is limited to 3 Million and I couldn't use 8 M.
I searched the same problem and found a solution which makes me to find camera app from google play; but there was no such an app to fix this.
2. None of the internet phone was working (skype, viber, tango, and google voice)
Skype only supports voice communication, not video.
Please help me to fix these.

Try flashing to the newest build of paranoid, build date Oct.2. My camera is set to 8mp by default on it.
Don't use anyone of those services so I can't really help you out.

3. install the newest CWM (V 6.0.1.4) in CWM mode
4. factory reset
5. wipe cache
6. format system
7. wipe delvik cache
8. install PA v2.17
9. install SuperSU v0.93
10. install gapps-jb
11. reboot
it seams that the jellybean is successfully running but I'm not sure whether I made a mistake or not.
Please let me know if something wrong

cm 13 - unfortunately setup wizard has stopped

Device - OnePlus One
Problem 1 ->
Ive tried to flash latest cm13 and gapps zip file
ROM - cm-13.0-20151127-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip
Gapps - open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20151127.zip
I did the following:
1. Copied ROM and gapps to device
2. Installed twrp v2.8.7.0
3. Rebooted to recovery
4. Wiped system,cache,dalvik cache
5. Install -> ROM and gapps
6. Wipe cache/dalvik
7. Reboot device.
When the phone starts, i get "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps.." , and once the optimizing part completes then immediately im getting error - "Unfortunately, Google App has stopped"
If i select "ok", it pops up again.
Im unable to use my device since the error message doesnt go away.
Problem 2 -
I got tired of trying to get cm 13 and decided to revert to cm 12.1
I followed all the above mentioned steps for flashing using cm 12.1 ROM
Now the ROM and gapps are flashed but when the phone starts, it goes through the process - "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps..", once that completes the screen goes blank.
On restarting the device, again i get "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps..", and once again the screen goes blank.
Problem 3 -
This ones not that bad actually.... I followed the above steps and just flashed cm13 ROM and didnt install gapps.
Now the device boots up.
Ive downloaded and installed Play store apk.
Then i installed the latest google play services apk
Now im getting the error "Unfortunately, Google play services has stopped"
How do i proceed now??
I have no idea what to do now.
Plz Plz help.
Thanks in advance
I am going through the exact same problem on the exact same device with the exact same versions of update file and gapps zip file.
After almost trying to search any possible solution to it on google and xda, I gave up and tried to solve it myself by looking into the phone itself. There wasnt much I was able to do because of the Crash Loop saying "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". So to rest the situation for now, I somehow went into Setting > Apps > Show System > Setup Wizard with setting logo and not the Cynogen Logo one! And Force stopped it.
Also, I cant open my home on the phone either. I press the home button and the Setup Wizard starts to crash again!
Its painful to see your beloved phone struggle to work like that! I sometimes hate CynogenMod for their nightlies and wish I could go back to the stable versions of Oxygen or CM 12!
ok so how many gapps packages have you guys downloaded and tried? Ar you tryig each time with the same gapps and rom that is giving you issues
1. Did you make Nandroid Backup of your stabe phone ?
If yes. Flash that and you'll get working phone again.
2. Gapps package you guys are installing are meant for Lollipop or Marshmellow ?

Tried More than 5 Different Gapps

Initially, I thought its just an update. So there wont be any need to install Gapps back again. But then The Play store kept crashing. So I rebooted my phone after cleaning Google Play Services and Play Store.
That didn't help. Then Found somewhere written that the issue might be caused by corrupt Gapps or incompatible Gapps, So tried installing The Gapps downloaded from OpenGapps. There I downloaded all the versions of it from , Stock to nano and pico. None of them helped. The Phone is still crashing saying The Setup Wizard has stopped. Can't open Home Screen Either. Can't open Keyboard either.

Download ROM, Firmware and Opengapps of Lollipop and try ..

Wiped the whole phone off including data reinstalled cm 13 (latest nightly i.e 28112015) and added the opengapps nano package to the flashing zip que in twrp solved the problem

I've installed cm12.1 and gapps 5.1 nano.
Now the device is working properly...earlier when i was trying to flash cm12.1 (as ive described in Problrm 2) , probably i was using a wrong version of gapps/ROM (im unsure which one)
Thanks for your suggestion Abhinav.
Im going to stick with cm12.1 for a while now till cm13 is tested a bit more. Im sure that if we get a solution for cm 13 issue, many users would be benefited.
Once again, thank you for your support, ur doing a fabulous job XDA.

Found a solution!
Looks like the Gapps from Opengapps werent compatible with the 6.0 Marshmallow yet.
I spent a day looking for different gapps and tried them all on my phone.
The only gapps file which worked with CM13.120151128 update for the oneplus one was this one -->
But before installing this, In TWRP you need to Go to Wipe>Advanced Wipe And select > System, Data, Dalvik and Cache to wipe everything from your phone. Then Fresh install CM13.120151128 and Slim Zero gapps you downloaded from the above link!
All Of this, only if you want to really run your phone with Android 6.0 Marshmallow!

After a lot of trying i finally managed to solve this setup wizard error by using the following steps. Without doing any clean wipe.
you have to be very patient and try to do the steps in between the clicks on the error OK button.
Go to Settings from notification drawer. APPS-- Click on 3 dots on the right top... select system apps.
Select setup wizard, one without CM logo.
And instead of blocking notifications from it, provide it complete access in permissions. I believe it needs access to contacts and telephone
This solved the trick for me.. I have no details to how this solves the error. You may give it a try.. Good luck.

From what i had seen, this case occurs when you didn't do a proper flash along with gapps. Make sure you flash the desired rom and with it the correct gapps package at a single stretch. Then Wipe Dalvik Cache and Reboot.
So just do a dirty flash and gapps.
I am not sure why you are not able to access your phone when TWRP is on. For me I had that option, copied the new zip files when in TWRP screen and started flashing from there.

You could try what is described here ... or test with the following:
Disable the Setup Wizard form your PC with
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.setupwizard
It should display: Package com.google.android.setupwizard new state: disabled
Then you can follow the first steps of @maxpayne1989 's description. Of course you won't see the setup wizard because it is disabled. After enabling it again with
Code:
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.setupwizard
(should display Package com.google.android.setupwizard new state: enabled)
you can select it and try setting the permissions.

thanks that solved the problem with the setup wizard ...
and now I can run playstore but can't download apps - I got the error: Error while fetching information from Server
solved! ... deleted google accound and remapped
Only the Setup wizard popup stops coming. Thanks for that.
There is a random popup about Google Play services which disappears on its own. I have given all permissions to the Google Play services app using the same steps as provided earlier. Still the same.
Please help.
Also in addition to this, there is a fix given by the OpenGAPPS team on GitHub as Notes for Android 6.0 (Sorry, cannot post link as this is my first post).
Can anyone help me patch this file onto my device (LG Nexus 5)?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe try different versions of gapps? I use the latest pico version and it works on the latest nightly.
I tried, micro, pico, stock.. All with same results. I was using nightly that came out on 12/02/2015.
Currently I reverted back to cm12.1 as I need to use the phone for day to day stuff. Please let me know if the latest nightly does actually fix this. And also which gapps, I will download the specified file and let you know by weekend.
Thanks for the help!
Try these gapps: http://opengapps.org
Yes I was using gapps from this site. I just need confirmation if the new cm13 nightly actually fixes the issue.
I guess it's not even with Cyanogen to fix the issue. The gapps when installed (flashed) , don't get the desired permissions to execute. It should be the a new gapps build released by opengapps. Still, I will keep searching.
PS: please look at the fix given by gapps team. I also don't know where to modify that code.
Here is how i got it to work.
1) Boot to recovery
2) Do a full wipe (Data,System,Cache,Dalvik)
3)Flash CM13
4)Do a wipe (Cache,Dalvik)
5)Flash GAPPS ( I used pico from Open Gapps)
6)Do a wipe (Cache,Dalvik)
7) Do a Factory Reset.
8) Reboot !
That should do it, Don't complain about useless wipes after trying for 2 days this finally worked !
I have my lovely G3 back
Good Luck !
I got it to work to flash it together with the ROM.
Cheers
I managed to make it work by installing CM13, in recovery mount /system and check how much space left on you system partition. After that you can choose the maximum size Gapps that fits the free space.
Wipe all excluding sdcard and USB-OTG. Install CM13 and Gapps together.
After reboot the wizard will not crash.
Other option is risky and can turn your phone into a break This is option is to resize /system to make it bigger.
I used the latest nightly CM13 for Xiaomi Mi4 and twrp-2.8.7.0-cancro
Solved

Thanks. This worked for me, although I had 2 Setup Wizard apps. The one with the CM logo had no permissions that needed assigning. The other one did. Once permissions were given, the issue went away. It was tricky to do it between the error dialogs appearing. What helped was switching to the guest account and back, then, occasionally, you had enough time to work the settings.
Had those Problems often, don't know why.
I just delete the settingwizard.apk in twrp (mount system, then system/priv-app if I remember).
Worked Several Times for me - you must do that always After flashing gapps!
My Fix....worked for me on HTC One M8
NOTE: Ensure you have a NANDROID backup BEFORE proceeding with the below, just in case something goes wrong
1. Ensure that you have all required files (CM13 Zip and Open GAPP Zip) saved to your phone (internal or SD card)
2. In my case, I used TWRP, so ensure you have the latest one
3. Boot into TWRP recovery
4. Using ‘WIPE’ option, select ‘Advance’ and choose: Data, Dalvik, Cache, System
5. Using ‘INSTALL’ option, Install CM13 via TWRP
6. DO NOT BOOT UP PHONE JUST YET
7. Perform a Cache and Dalvik wipe
8. Using ‘INSTALL’ option, Install GAPP Zip via TWRP (I used GAPP mini due to space)
9. Now you may reboot the phone.
The solved the ‘Setup not working’ issue for me and my phone is now working like a charm with CM13 and google apps! I have a HTC One M8 FYI
ThankYou So MUCH!

Bootloop after updating apps like Telegram?

Maybe this is a very stupid question but I really have no idea why this problem occurs
My phone (HTC One S Ville mit Resurrection Remix (Android 5.1)) worked perfectly fine until last Friday.
At this date a new update of Telegram Messenger was released. I installed it and while installation of this app my phone did a restart and got stuck in a bootloop.
I restored using TWRP and retried - same problem. I also deleted the app and its data to do a fresh install - bootloop after installation.
Furthermore I noticed the exactly same behavior for the last update of WiGLE. All other apps could be updated to their latest versions without problems.
I used Google Play to update these apps.
What could be a problem for that? Is android just too old to these apps or could there be a collision with something installed on my phone/the ROM? How can I debug this?
I am not an android expert and I am very thankful for any kind of help :')
Thank you! =)
Same Problem with LG G2 mini / Android 6
Hello,
I'm facing the similar problems since a few days. Running Resurrection 6.0.1 on LG G2 Mini.
It started with installing maxdome-app at thursday, last week. Phone went into bootloop.
Wiping and or deinstalling the app in safe-mode did not work. So I restored to an older backup. This worked some time but ran into bootloop after a while ( I do not know what I've done exactly to get into this, this time).
I tried around a little. One part was a fresh install of cyanogenmod 13. This worked some time and I could find out that installing telegramm messenger had the bootloop-effect repeatable.
Sorry for not giving any help to the thread-creator but I hope we can give any more information to each other or anyone else can help?
Right now I am installing apps and backing up all the time to get some half-working system, but better ideas would be appreciated
Good to know that I am not alone
I figured out that there are a few more apps causing the bootloop. Here is a list:
WiGLE Wardriving
Telegram Messenger
pr0gramm.com app
Playstore Changelog (XPosed Module)
Statusbar Download Progress (XPosed Module)
Maxdome
I already updated Xposed Framework, Google Play Services and Google WebView to prevent incompatibilities. Problem still exists.
I updated everything as far as possible and made a backup using TWRP so I can restore my OS at any point. Further you could backup your apps using Titanium Backup. I it worth its price!
I started facing a similar problem of app updates causing bootloops on my device which was running CandySix ROM / 6.0.1. Apps causing bootlooping included Greenify and Nova Launcher. I had another device which has a factory 6.0.1 ROM rooted with Xposed and that device didn't have bootloop issues with these same versions of apps. Fortunately I was able to update the first device to a LineageOS 14.1 7.1.2 ROM and once again continue using the latest version of apps without bootlooping issues - but I never did understand exactly what was causing the bootlooping problem. That was a rather frustrating experience.
When the first bootloop happened, I was updating one single app, so I knew it was probably the one I should roll back to the previous version to fix the problem - so I didn't have to resort to a full TWRP restore.
How did you do a rollback of an app while you are in a bootloop? I would be glad to know that
Unfortunately my Device One S Ville does not get any updates anymore
In my case I can boot to custom recovery/TWRP to delete the app apk from the its /data/app folder - which basically prevents it from running when I reboot the phone. I also use an apk extractor app to save the apk of all apps I install and I also use Titanium Backup - so between those two I have copies of the older apk versions to install. You can also find older apk versions on apkmirror.com.
Depending on the severity of the bootloop, you can also connect your phone to a PC and use adb to disable/uninstall the app causing the problem if you know which one it is.

Thank you for your explanation! This sounds a bit more stressful to me than rather restore via TWRP but could me more time efficient for larger ROMs. I will keep this in mind
Thanks and can confirm that deleting the app folder/apk via twrp can help. I got back into my android 6 again. For me seems more that DavDroid caused it (but Telegram was suspicious, too).
DavDroid mentioned in the last update on 4th November, that they released a workaround against crash and bootloops on some custom roms
Depending on how old your TWRP backup is, restoring from TWRP is an option. But often I have not made a backup in a while or made many recent changes that I didn't want to lose, so the other ways I suggested are more time efficient in some cases.

Upgrade to Android 7
I can add EDS app to the non-working programs.
As far as I could install Telegram (same Version) by downloading .apk I suspect the problem is something depending with playstore. This would explain the many affected apps. But of course I don't know it for sure.
Inspired from divineBliss I upgraded to Android 7 (LineageOS 14.1) and could install everything as I wanted without problems so far. Thanks for that. Looks good, but I will wait some days after I'm convinced.
@-kw: did you try the following link for upgrading to higher android-version?

Glad you were able to update ROMs and escape the bootlooping problem
I have been running LineageOS 14.1 for about a month now without any bootlooping issues due to app updates - so I expect you won't have any issues. I did cause some dread time consuming to resolve bootlooping due to some bad substratum themes, but that's a different issue altogether .

@michibr:
I am very pleased with my Resurrection ROM; but this is stuck on Android 5.1. I will give a new ROM a try when I have the time for that
At this time it seems like this is the only solution of escaping the bootloop-problem
FYI
I updated to Android 7.1 RR and now I can update all my Apps without problems
I am sorry that this is the only solution I can provide, but still better than nothing
Hi all,
I'm having exactly the same problem, it all started with FB, then some other apps.
I had to reboot into Safe Mode to uninstall those apps.
I'm running on cm12.1 and I have my own reason not to upgrade to higher Android.
Am hoping someone can come out with a solution.
For now, here's my list of apps:
- Facebook (Facebook Lite is fine)
- Telegram
- Bluemail
- Local telco app
I am sorry to inform you that I did a lot of research and was not able to find any other solution than upgrading to a higher android.
The problem is with appt2 someone reported it in google's issue tracker and someone from goole descriped it in detail here's it :-
CyanogenMod has this function getPkgName (https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/cm-13.0/libs/androidfw/AssetManager.cpp). It creates a ResXMLTree on the stack and points it at a buffer from an asset without making a copy. Then it closes the asset before the ResXMLTree is destroyed.
For apps built by aapt, this is benign. However, aapt2 produces UTF-8 string pools, which cause the ResXMLTree's ResStringPool(mStrings)'s mCache to become non-null in ResStringPool::stringAt (https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/cm-13.0/libs/androidfw/ResourceTypes.cpp). Then ResStringPool::uninit dereferences mHeader (which is now dangling), and a crash ensues.
This crash shows up in different ways. On one Cyanogen OS device, the launcher crashes when an app built with aapt2 has been installed, but only if the manifest is large (probably due to how deallocation happens for small vs large blobs). On another device, system_server crashes at boot if an aapt2-built app is installed.
We're attempting to work around this with a custom build of aapt2 that always produces a UTF-16 string pool for the manifest. Results so far are promising.
Can this be patched somehow at the OS via xposed for all of the roms that won't get updated?

Is this .zip patch for any device with any Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM?
Because I just installed it and my HTC one X with Resurrection Remix ROM (Lollipop 5.1.1) goes black after the HTC logo.

Help..White settings screen after gapps installation

On a tablet Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 (3G) I installed Lineage OS 14.1, then after I installed the PICO Gapps I realized that the settings screen of the tablet was completely white without any writing .. At this point I tried to reflash from TWRP Lineage but it gave me an error, I then tried to do a factory reset wipe but the automatic startup configuration of lineage crashed, I then tried to make a format given by TWRP and this once android started but I found the gapps and the white screen on settings, how should I do so that I cleanly install the rom in order to solve the problem of the white screen in settings, then trying to install the gapps avoiding that it recurs the white screen problem in settings? Thanks a lot to those who want to help me, I don't know how to solve it.
I tried to do an advance wipe (Davilk, System, Cache, data and internal storage) and then I made a format data, doing so I flashed the rom correctly without errors, immediately after I also installed the pico gapps, thinking that maybe installing them at the same time as the rom that problem of the white screen on settings would not have arisen, while instead nothing has changed unfortunately .. so now I wanted to reflect the rom and try to solve differently with the gapps, but it always gives me error 7 as you can see from screen, the first time it worked facendadvance wipe and formed date now even doing this I always get this error ... the strange thing is that it worked before and now it doesn't ... someone can help me to solve it please?
read here in the post I wrote, practically the first time it worked by reading the guide you gave me and I managed to flash the rom, then I immediately put the gapps back thinking that maybe installing them together with the rom they worked while I always have the problem of the screen white ... so I wanted to reflect the rom without putting the gapps back and then maybe try to install them differently but it gives me the usual error and it does it even if I delete everything as the guide you sent me that the first time had worked ...someone can help me to solve it please?
update, after many tests in the end I managed to flash the rom, there is no explanation, simply trying and trying again it decided to work .. now I have not installed the gapps and the android settings screen I see it correctly ... now what I ask you how can I install the gapps so that I do not create this problem of the white screen in settings? I don't care who knows what google works, I just need the play store I downloaded the PICO gapps from directly from the gapp site by choosing ARM + 7.1 + PICO As you can imagine I would like to avoid finding myself with the same problem again since it is not easy to solve, I am not an expert, so I rely on you .. Thanks a lot to those who want to help me.

Use SD card for installation los zip. And download it again, if you'll still get same error than change TWRP version.

yes I used the sd card to install the rom, I just made a post a few seconds before you wrote saying that you have solved the installation of the rom. Actually I downloaded the rom again, but I don't think this is the cause since a few minutes before the installation of the rom had worked ... then I also tried to transfer the rom file back from the pc to the microsd and it always did not work, as soon as the 'i downloaded again it worked..so i guess it was a coincidence ... Now as I said in the previous post to yours, the problem is how to install the gapps or in any case, even just the play store is okay with me ... I would like to avoid the problem of the white screen in android settings that I had by installing the PICO gapps recur again ... anyway I wrote everything in detail in the previous post ... I hope someone can help me. Thanks

My bee it's gapps bug, this is not the first time to happening this.
I don't use gapps at all, specially not on that prehistoric device. It's laggy and pretty much slow and useless.. I advice you to check AuroraStore (FOSS Google play) on xda forum or install f-droid and search it there.

so the white screen on settings is a problem that has already happened to others with the installation of gapps, the strange thing is that I have seen on tyoutube others who have installed it without problems having the same device .. however if there are alternatives I can do without it.
I installed Aurora store 4.1.1, in the installation procedure I left the checkmarks that were by default and I always went ahead .. right? I did a bit of research to test this new app since I didn't know it .. and I saw that it has everything, but maybe not everything that the play store has, for example the YAP app (by nexi payment) it is not there, while for example on aptoide it is found .. why? From what I understood Aurora store should have all the apps from the play store so it is strange that there is not this one too.
