Camera app not working

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

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.

[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.

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...

camera crash oreo 8.1 motorola moto x style/pure

I have flashed my motorola moto x style / pure with oreo 8.1 in itself everything work, but the camera.
lineage-15.1-20180727-UNOFFICIAL-clark
MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm64-20180808_153856
open_gapps-arm64-8.1-stock-20190414
I can only use the front camera and as soon as I take a picture the camera crashes.
The rear cam doesn't show up at al.
Have done a factory reset and reinstalled everything through twrp recovery.
With mind the gapps the camera crashed.
With open gapps the camera crashed.
Emptying cashe memory or and installing another camera apps does not help. This problem is hiding within.
What can this be and is there an android version that would not have this outside of the original rom.
I've read a lot about this problem but i cant find any thread where there is a solution for me and my phone.
Update: the crash message is mediaserver crahed
