This is for Xperia TX. After deodexing the stock .67 FW the stock camera never seemed to work.
Flashing other sony styled cameras like Cybershot and the Z1 ports don't seem to help either.
Already tried everything suggested for those mods like clearing cache in CWM, in the apps list in System etc.
Other camera apps like Lenovo camera work fine so no damaged hardware as far as i know.
I'm not sure how to take proper logs but this is what i got. Anyone who knows how to read logs can you take a look and tell me if i'm missing a file/permission/buildprop line?

Soooo I've been using cm7 since it was still nightly 1 but I havent really had any wonk issues. However recently my camera, no longer works, the app loads fine but when you attempt to take a pic it force closes.... Heres where it gets strange apps that use the camera like google docs the camera works fine.... The other camera apps in the market work fine just not the stock camera app..
Has any one else had these issues?

Has this occurring since you flashed it, or did it develop afterward? I would try clearing camera data see what happens.
it was random and I tried wiping camera data but I also tried reloading from titanium still no fix
Then maybe you will need to either factory reset or do a clean install.
Similar story
My camera app randomly stopped working recently. Not upon an update, but randomly. (CM7 stable) I wiped the device, reflashed the ROM/Gapps, and it still is broken. When you tap to launch it, it just restarts the device (same if launched from another app, such as barcode scanner, etc.). I also tried deleting its data, to no avail.
Anybody figure this out?
What version is your radio/baseband (Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband)? We go off the two sets of numbers after the underscore "_". Something like 4.06 or 5.08...
Mine's 5.08.00.04
Try a more recent version of CM7. Much have been updated since RC1.
If still having problems a clean wipe usually does the trick.
Sorry, my bad. This problem started with CM7. I then clean wiped and tried CM7.1.0 RC1, and that's what's running right now (with no difference on the camera).
When you wiped the device, was this through ROM Manager? If so, you may want to try a system-only wipe. Under clockworkmod you can do it in the mounts and storage menu. If you are running amon_ra, you will need to use a flashable zip that will wipe it for you. Temasek has one somewhere in here http://mediafire.com/temasek
Then reinstall CM and gapps. This won't cause any data loss.
I had wiped it from ROM Manager, so I followed your instructions (I am running clockworkmod). Unfortunately, that didn't change anything.
I been running CM7 stable for two weeks and that is one complain I have the picture quality sucks compare to stock android, I have to play with the contrast,saturation and sharpness every time to take a decent picture. As Far as the Camera bugging out on me I don't have any issues.
Did anyone manage to fix this problem WITHOUT taking it to the service centre?
For some reason, I still believe this is a software issue and not a hardware one.
Anybody?
Yeah, my feeling is it has to be software too, but I can't for the life of me seem to solve it. Anybody else have this issue??

Hi
My camera isn't working anymore. It's crashing when I start it and apps like Instagram can't use it too (app returns to homescreen). I have a LOCKED Bootloader and Root permissions on .257 (4.2). I used Apps like Pimp my ROM.
I DO NOT have a TA backup. Is there a opportunity to fix it ? Maybe with a coming Sony update like 4.3 ?
Try to clear camera app data in settings.

You say you don't have a TA backup, however, the TA partition only gets wiped if you unlock bootloader, which you state you did not do, so that should not be a problem.
Did you try resetting your device? If that does not help it might simply be a hardware failure...
I do have a basic knowledge but I had never heard things like TA Partition before i bought this phone. I thought the app had used somekind of way, which "breaks" the camera as well.
Other camera apps do not work too. Wiping the camera cache didnt work :| I think I'll reset the phone and flash 4.3 this evening
So a few days ago I decided to root my old xperia z1 phone after getting a galaxy s6.
One of the reasons why I wanted to root is because I still use the phone for taking pictures and pictures only.
I rooted on 5.1.1 using kingroot and then used a method to remove kingroot and replace with supersu. Root was successful and was able to use root apps. I then installed a custom recovery to flash an extension for the camera to add timeshift video and 4k recording (http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...s/lollipop-ported-4k-timeshift-video-t3084488).
After flashing the zip I tired to open the camera to test the features and got a black screen for 5 seconds and then a message, "camera not available".
Camera does not work in other apps and I can't even use the flash as a flashlight anymore.
In an attempt to fix the problem I tired flashing a camera port of the z5 camera to my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/exrxths-z1-z1c-z2-z3-z3c-z3-xperia-z5-t3250139). Still no result but when I launch the camera it tells me it might be in use by another app.
I tried using methods I had found by searching for it such as clearing data from app and disabling other apps.
What can I do? Can I flash something else for it to work?
It's noteworthy that I made a backup using pc companion before rooting.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ps: here is what settings look like http://postimg.org/image/pkefyd2cb/
The exact same problem here!
Help please?

To use Stock camera, you've to be in Stock ROM.
May be you'll need to check and flash another set of Gapps or wipe cache
@malli8043 hi, I'm having the same issues with the camera crashing on and on. I've been trying to change settings, cleared cashe, cleaned up dalvik, but ended up getting the error after a while. I installed a different rom (from Lineage 6.1 to Mokee) But after the optimization of the applications it stops working. The problem is that the front camera only works on, but the back camera has some issues with. I opened a discussion on this but no one is answering.

No one is answering...without offence, dude, your cross posting is kinda spam, and will lead you to nowhere! Let's say, more honesty, that you already got your answer, but maybe you didn't like it. For example, I personally adviced you to erase everything in your phone and perform a fully clean flash... Your problem doesn't exist on board the other moto x, do you understand it? So, no one could give you an answer about the how and why you experience such issue. Erase everything, also internal memory, then flash rom + gapps! Good luck
Hi @stefanowall, I didn't get any answer and I'm still waiting for one. I did twice a full clean flash, install the rom, install gapps(nano or pico) but it didn't work. Actually it stops working after the app updates, when it does the optimization of them, I did erase xposed framework, greenify, and all that was suspected in interfering. But the problem still persist. I think it is a binary that gets corrupted along with something else, or is a conflict of camera permission, because I don't understand why the camera settings are changed and only the front camera works, that's why I posted the pictures of the camera settings. The only solution I found was that I flashed a Motorola camera from Lolipop version and after that both cameras were working surprisingly. So I'm testing it now and will let you know if this works. But still I think that there is a conflict or a something like that...

Hello, I do have a problem with my front camera. When trying to switch to the front camera within any camera app, the app freezes. I do not know when the problem started, but I noticed first on OOS 4.1.3. At first I thought it had to do with the custom kernel or some Magix mods. Because of that, I clean installed OOS 4.1.6 and only installed Magix (no mods, no kernel). The problem is still there. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Or is it a hardware issue and I should send the phone to repair?
My specs in short:
OnePlus 3t (64gb Rom)
OOS 4.1.6
Magix v12
Stock kernel
Thank you in advance
At first, try just to clear app data for camera app/gallery app and see if that helps. Else you should do a factory restore of phone to see if problem still persist, in that case it's probably hardware fault.

Thank you for the answer, I tried to use different camera apps (stock app, opencamera, snapdragon camera), they all crashed when trying to use the front camera.
I already did a factory reset when clean installing the newest OOS.
I really hope, this isn't a hardware fault. The "Phone tester" app shows the camera features as it should.
Could there be a problem with TWRP flashing the roms making a mistake? TWRP didn't show an error through. I am on TWRP 3.1.0-1
There could be something wrong in the persistent partition causing this, reflashing factory persist.img to partition might fix it (easy way is to use qualcomm restore method which restores everything).
Thank you, I will try it next weekend, when I am back home ?
