Camera app not working - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello sudenly today camera app stoped working i do not know why.
I dont think i made a huge change in the phones firmware so i cant figure out why that happens.
Everytime i open camera app (any camera app i tried focal and the official app) it says "Unfortunately Camera stoped working"
Anyway i tried the following:
I cleared all camera data (cache and data)
I cleared all camera related apps data
I uninstalled camera and restored it using TB (app only)
I got all the camera related apps out of an eXistenZ rom and flashed it on my phone after i had uninstalled every one of them
I am :
Rooted
Using CWM
Unlocked Bootloader
Desperate

Camera.apk fc on cm7 stable

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??

[Q] Camera Error (Please restart the camera)

Hi folks,
I have recently had an issue with the Moto G 2nd gen ONLY since yesterday with the Camera (Moto Camera app). I had been able to use the camera in the morning.
I tested with other apps which access the camera such as Instagram. Instagram could not start taking photo at all.
I don't know for what reason, the camera cannot start any longer. I tried to wipe the cache but it did not help at all. I am running standard Moto Android 5.0.2, with no custom firmware installed at all.
Does anyone know what is happening to my phone?
Thanks a lot for looking.
Try going to setings-->apps-->all, choose camera,delete cache,delete data,uninstall updates and stop the app. Reboot the device,try if camera app works. If yes install updates from playstore. If this doesn´t work boot the phone into recovery and delete cache partition. Maybe try first procedure again.If you are rooted you can try to uninstall camera via Titanium and install again.

Thanks for your suggestion :good:. I've done all of those steps. Even, I came to a point wipe all data and factory reset. No app installed rather than what comes with the phone. I still have the same error. Does it mean the camera has been physically broken?
Alright guys, I had to talk to Motorola Support about my case last week. After a long chat, I have it repaired under the warranty policy. I just received it back now. The camera was replaced due to hardware issue. Case closes here guys, thanks for the help so far.

Xperia Z1 camera not available after flashing camera mod

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

The exact same problem here!
Help please?

[Bug] Magisk is killing my camera (Sony Experia X Performance Nougat)

When I install Magisk (I have tried both verion 9 and 10) I get this when I try to start the built-in camera app:
Error The camera may be in use by another application.

I have tried with a third party camera app from Play Store, and that works most of the time, but that sometimes only gives me a solid green image (but that's probably an unrelated bug in that camera app). The Snapchat camera works as it should. I have tried several resets and reflashes (both of the Telenor Norwegian Nougat "F8131_39.2.A.0.361_Telenor Mobil NO" and the Nordic Nougat "F8131_39.2.A.0.361_NOBA.ftf" without the Telenor stuff), and it is totally consistent. When I flash the modifed AndroPlus Kernel (from TWRP or Fastboot), the camera works as it should. When I install Magisk, the camera stops working and gives me that message. I can then get it working again by flashing the AndroPlus Kernel again. Any idea what can be done to fix this?
Oh, it's not the rooting in itself, I have now rooted with SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip, and that worked as it should. No camera malfunctions.
