Hey all,
None of the Jelly Bean ROMS (In particular, CM 10.1) seem to have a camera that works with third party apps, like Instagram and Snapchat. The camera always ends up freezing when it opens. This even happens when attempting to change the phone security to Face Unlock; the camera freezes on opening of the setup for face unlock as well.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks in advanced.
Actually, I got the same problem with CM10 (not 10.1) too
I think it's a bug for a long time already, but it's better to fix those serious bugs in CM10.1 first
When we have a relatively stable CM10.1, i think hashcode will start working on the camera bug
AW: Jelly Bean 3rd Party Camera Apps
Thanks for this post. I've never seen this topic before, but I am also confused with this issue since CM10.
Has anybody already an idea for the reason of this bug?
Its bother the hell out of me, i really hope i can find a fix!!

how about snapchat?
Update: Its official, no JB ROM works with snapchat, i've tried them all ._. if someone could get a workaround to this, i would hop back to JB instantly
Is there an app that works with the video camera?

doesn't work with snapchat. app crashes when it loads the camera screen.
The stock camera is buggy with all JB roms at the moment. None of the 3rd party apps will work until the bugs are hammered out. Even the barcode scanner doesn't work. If you use any of the 3rd party apps, ICS is your choice for now.

Instagram doesn't work for me on liquid jb :/
Edit: Nevermind. Works fine if you go into instagram settings and turn off "use advanced camera"

Hi there. I just updatede my speedmod kernel from k12t to k12u. And after that apps like barcode scanner and goolge goggles doesnt work. But my camera første... any solutions?
Sent from the Galaxy
Same here, but I experienced this with former kernel too.
Switching back to other kernel didn't fix it.
So I don't think that this belong to the kernel itself.
I switched a lot forward and backward, like cam FW or cam- and barcodescanner-apps, SGS Tools with cam hack and so on but still no clue.
I'm now on Doc's ROM without any failure before JS3.
So, now the cam is working for taking pictures but as soon as I switch to video it FCs. Same with all scanner apps.
EDIT: switched several times between 12t und 12u and between that to hacked cam app (SGS Tools) ... and just right now its working again. so, absolutely no clue but waiting for next impact.
EDIT2: seems that others before had similar impact: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11036914&postcount=12152
EDIT3:
AAARRRRGHHH ... fixed... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=camera&page=806
Read from post#8059. It's the email.apk...
I formely switch to the new email.apk from Galaxy Tab and I can enforce same issue again and again when using the new email.apk.
it doesn't occur with old 2.2.1 email.apk.
Someone need to teach Google and Samsung the idea of "Modular".

You are the Man!!! Restored the stock email and everything is working again.
Thank you just saves me from a full reinstall

Pst... let me tell you a secret... I did this 9 times.
To be honest: there was a slight feeling that it could be the email.apk because I switched that many times too - but I tought that it is too idiotic to talk about.
So, your request helped me too because before I wasn't searching seriously.

I have installed 27th April CM9 Nightly build on my SGT P1000 and somehow, the camera is working perfectly fine. I am unable to find settings for the camera, but it's working perfect. The gallery is showing all the images that I have captured.
The reason of writing this post is that all other posts claim that the camera is not yet working for ICS port on SGT-P1000. I first installed Overcome 4.1.0 with the kernel, and then flashed the CM9.
The question is, how is it working, and is it normal to work?
If it is normal to work, can someone point me in the direction where i can follow the updates?
Links
I used this get.cm link for downloading the CWM flashable CM9 nightly build ROM. Just want all to know that EVERYTHING seems to be perfect. I flashed the ROM yesterday, and till now, everything works.
Wifi
Bluetooth
Video Recording
Camera
Music playback
video playback
GPS
Video calling (through skype etc.)
Front/Rear Cam
Smooth Screen Rotation
Live Wallpapers
Phone
Contacts
SD Mount
Market
Browser is smooth as ever, tabbed and can be linked with chrome
Just want to know if anyone else has flashed this, and if anyone else has cam working.
I remember someone came up with a fix for the camera in the form of a flashable zip a while back so I imagine it's been included in the latest CM9 builds.
Well, I am still waiting for people to comment on it. I haven't found any comments. Is there a thread following the nightly CM9 build for p1000?
It has been working fine for many weeks.
This is the discussion thread

Thanks Priyana, just a little problem, i posted in a new question thread aswell.
Unfortunately, camera closed. This error I am getting frequently. Not always, but frequently. I have no idea what is causing the app to run sometimes, but close at other times.
I am on aokp milestone 5.
I also have camera fc from time to time.

Little manual fix i have. Put the cam to 2.5 MP and when your'e clicking a pic, dont press and hold the blue button. Just push and let go. The pic will snap, and the frequency of cam gone FC will reduce by 90%. I think there is a problem with the autofocus which causes the cam to go bonkers. Do try it and share...

Very happy to see this. Thanks for all your hard work! I hope this one reaches a level of stability the previous CM versions didn't, so that I can use it as a daily driver.
Sweet! Thank you hashcode once again! Looking forward to trying this and i am happy that screen rotation bug is cleared up, awesome. Also, i will be awaiting updated builds with great anticipation.
Damn you, hashcode! This ROM is so incredible I don't know if I'll be able to stand going back to ICS.
The improvements are stunning, I am very impressed to see the screen rotation/screenshot bug fixed. Smooth as butter, but I wont be able to use it as a daily driver until the camera is fixed (at least in 3rd party apps).
Thank you for all your hard work!

Awesome work! Just flashed the 12/17 update. 3rd party camera is working!
Getting some occasional screen tearing while scrolling, other than that everything else so far seems to be smoother and faster than CM10
Gonna take me a while to get use to the new toggles
Loving the updated recent apps screen and animations.
Hmm, while typing this, I'm getting some weird flickering and white vertical lines on my keyboard.

I've been using Camera ZOOM FX, don't know of any decent alternatives that are free
Something else I've noticed with 10.1, seems the more I use it the more it lags ... starting to notice a delay when launching apps

I see a bit of lag. Camera works for me on 3rd party. Yay.
Biggest issue though is phone crashes when making and receiving calls. If that was fixed could use as daily driver
Nice! But not yet a daily IMHO.

Mine did once, had to pull the battery . Wouldn't stop ringing. I had just installed small call and thought it was that, disabled it and was able to make and receive a call just fine.
I'm back on CM10 now, so I don't know if it is still an issue ... can't take the chance of missing a call right now

hmm...I'll try it again and see how it goes.
Edit: I can make calls fine, but after the call ends, the phone process crashes. When I get a call, the phone wouldn't stop ringing until I rebooted my phone. Nothing could fix it in my case
Back in eclipse ICS for now.
I've installed it twice and it ran fine both times. That is until I rebooted. At that point it continually says com.android.phone has stopped repeatedly. Can't do anything but pull battery and switch to a different ROM.
Same issues with receiving calls.
Funny when it went ape sht on me in Kohls, my case was a PITA to pull off to remove the battery. Oh the disapproving eyes of the old ladies,when SYL "You suck" kept going and going. Lmao

confirmed that phone locks for incoming calls - other than that everything seems great! camerazoom worked for both pictures and video on latest build!! Didn't run rom long enough to test stability, battery life, and other things but all seems good. hopefully the phone issue will be fixed soon and this rom will ROCK!!
Has anyone had success with the 12-17-2012 build? I installed it fresh into a new slot1, but it looped infinitely at the CM boot animation for me.
new load
When will the next release be that is a little more stable for the phone process....
OP Updated with new build.
CHANGES:
[01/16]Bluetooth device starts/stops correctly (audio issues still)
Keep phone on vibrate to avoid the incoming call bug (for now)
Hello,
I have recently installed the CM 10.1 for new bootloader because I hoped to use the Camera Sphere, but it was absent from the build.
Now I've returned to the DM 1.2 30b OC, and I am interested to see if there is a way to install the application on our phones?
I tried when it first came out, I had CM10 flashed, and tried flashing the camera app through CWM but it never worked.
Has anyone here on the forums successfully managed to get Camera Sphere set and running?
Thanks.
it is a bit hard to make camera sphere work on Optimus 2X because it doesn't have enough memory. This is the main problem why is not working
I didn't know that, but no wonder, this phone really is crippled with its RAM, I mean, you cannot even play Angry Birds, open some other app and return to the game, without it reloading completely. Such a shame.
