Not me. I towelrooted and stayed stock for a while, camera worked just fine. Finally decided on a ROM and flashed that, camera still works. Installed xposed, didn't seem to affect camera. Decided to uninstall xposed, system seems to run better without it.

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?
This is what I get from the built-in camera app of my about one week old XP. Drives me nuts. I have defrosted all the bloatware I had freezed with Titanium, because I thought that may have been the reason. But it wasn't. I have tried with a third party camera app from Play Store, and that works without problems. So does the Snapchat camera. So it's nothing hardware, it's something that ties up the app. I have tried to reset the camera app, wipe data for the app and wipe dalvik and regular cache from TWRP. Any ideas what else I can do?
Could you find any solution?
Apart from using a third party app, not so far.
i have same problem
how to fix it? still waiting
I think it's the rooting with Magisk! I will see if I can find the developer. Have you two rooted?
Oh, it's not the rooting in itself, it must be Magisk. I have now rooted with SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip, and that worked as it should. No camera malfunctions.
I have reported it in the Magisk forum.
I have done a full repair using xperia companion and it still won't work. I believe Magisk is still installed, but I've already tried uninstalling it so how would I make sure?
Once you've unlocked the bootloader, it must be unlocked in order to use the stock camera app on an official ROM
use custom kernel to fix the problem

The problem is that the camera doesnt work with a RE-LOCKED bootloader , flashing a custom kernel is not possible with a LOCKED/RELOCKED bootloader.
After rooting the phone the stock camera crashes after taking a photo. The photo is saved before the camera crashes. I installed Open Camera and it crashes the same as the stock camera. Camera FV-5 does not crash.
Does anyone have a fix to stop the stock camera app from crashing?
Try dirty flashing the ROM and root again.

Thanks man. That worked.
I downloaded the latest Urnyx Gcam build. I am currently on LineageOS 17.1
I went to take a selfie video. The app froze and the front pop-up camera refuses to close itself.
- I used the stock camera app to bring down the front camera, it doesn't work.
- Restarted the phone couple of times
- Factory reset
- Change ROMs
- Used the motor.apk to manually bring down the camera, doesn't work too. It says "camera alread retracted" Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4930537&d=1579448949
I already tried flashing an AOSP based ROM, still didnt work.
- Dropping down the phone to my bed, doesn't work
Please I am in need of help. I can't put my phone on the pocket.
Not sure if it helps, I had the same issue on lineage yesterday and for some reason this app was able to retract it.

Thanks for the reply. I am on Lineage when this happened too.
That app you sent me didn't work tho.
Fixed the issue by formatting data and flashed back to EU ROM MIUI 12.0.3.0
When I try launching the stock camera app on my rooted Pixel 5, the launch-screen is shown briefly (black background with camera icon) before the app crashes. Same thing with the stock recorder, but here, not even the launcher screen appears, there's just nothing happening. No error messages are displayed whatsoever.
I rooted my phone by patching the boot.img using magisk, and when flashing the stock boot.img in fastboot, both apps are working just fine. It's not the camera itself that is causing the issue, every other app taking advantage of the camera apart from the stock camera app is working as usual, I can take photos in Snapchat without problems for example. Does anyone know a fix for this or is there anything I can do to debug the apps? My research on this issue didn't lead to any results.
I installed the latest firmware version for my model from the official google site yesterday (RQ3A.210705.001), but the issues were already present before (on version RQ1A.210105.003). I installed it using the
Bash:
install-all.sh
script, removing the
Bash:
-w
flag from the last command to keep all my data, in case this is relevant.
Thanks in advance.
Update July 13:
Uninstalling the EdXposed Magisk Module and Gravitybox solved the issue.
Update July 13 #2:
Turns out I'm a moron, just blacklisting the two apps in the EdXposed Manager would've been sufficient. Welp, next time I'll research a bit harder.

Yes I was and it was the problem's root, uninstalling Edxposed and Gravitybox solved the issue. Would've liked to keep Gravitybox but I'd rather have a working camera. I didn't have time to update my post yet. Thanks for your reply though!
