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.

I am experiencing issues with the camera as well. I am on 4.4.4-20140709-i777-nightly.zip and on first reboot, the camera was not taking pictures. When switching from photo to video, the resolution drops drastically. It took several restarts and now I can say it's taking pictures, but taking videos freezes the app, and other 3rd party video apps.

It can be a bit hit and miss, sadly. I use gapps provided by paranoid android, and the latest boeffla kernel (test branch).
How i usually install is this:
Rom
Gapps
Reboot and get set up
Back to recovery
Install kernel
Flash camera fix
And for good measure, wipe dalvik and cache.
Like i said though, it isnt a guaranteed fix u.u you can blame proprietary licences for that. Making lives difficult.

Thanks for your reply.
TWRP was already installed, I rooted, flashed Omni, flashed one modem, wifi didnt work, flashed another, that sorted it, flashed GAPPS, no camera, wiped everything, tried again, not working, wiped again, installed camera fix, not working, wiped again, not working, installed again, wiped again, etc, etc. Still not working
Edit : was on 2014-07-26, updated to 2014-07-28 and all working !!
Hello,
I have same problem with omni-4.4.4-20140730-i9300-NIGHTLY.zip, and other, older 4.4.3 versions !
I also have this problem on 4.4.4-20142728-i9305-nightly, and sometimes i take one photo then the camera app freezes. Tried the fix at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973 i like the camera app much more from the fix fyi, this is making me considering changing rom.
And one other problem i have with this rom is that, every option that is enabled in the rom as default i have to disable it and the enable it again to make it work.
I have not changed the kernel or any other tweaks or anything, just flashed rom with a clean flash
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.
Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!
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 ?

Could be a hardware issue. I know you said you tried everything but did you try another camera app? Fastboot flash back to 10? Don't dirty flash, let it wipe data. If it persists afterwards and the other camera app did the same thing, you may want to explore any warranty you may have.

I try others camera apps and all just allow me to use front camera instead of rear camera, might try to flash back to 10, will see how it goes... I don't think its a hardware issue cause all of sudden i saw lot people comment on playstore review regarding this issue
