[Q] AOSP/CM10 camera issues - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I have tried every rom available (i9300) and on all of them (besides stock) I seem to have issues with the camera and taking pictures using flash. (Instagram does not even work when using flash on the stock ROM)
It happens on Paranoid Android, CM10, AOPK and any other non stock like ROM.
The moment I take a picture with flash, the first thing I see is. "Gallery has closed"
Am I the only one with this? Because i've been searching and testing for a solution but I cannot find anything.
Looking for your thoughts
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue. Though I'm not sure as to a fix I'm afraid. The only way it works is if you just hit the button and don't touch to focus.

ASOP bug, no choice.
only camera zoom FX is slightly better than stock.
lesser crashes.

Rock-O Gallery Bug

Love Rock-O minus the gallery bug. If I choose a pic from the gallery just says loading on the pic but never finishes. Anyone found a fix to this? Without downloading quickpic or anything like that.
most roms have that bug

I'm only on my 2nd phone; 1st was the Thunderbolt and as many ROMS as I've installed between that phone and my MoPho I've never seen this bug. So far only in the Rock-O builds. I've tried unlocked, locked, and odexed.

same here, it force closes after using whatever camera app (I used stock camera and Camera 360, both resulted to FCs). I'm suspecting that it's a ROM compatibility issue. Haven't tried it yet. I'm on MotoGinger II.
Anyone else having same problems on other ROMs?
it worked like charm for me
currently on GB 2.3.6 CM 7.1

You have an early version of the port that was missing some supporting files. The port was updated several times to get everything working. You'll get a ton of FC message as you use it, but everything works with the latest version: http://www.mediafire.com/?qrji31tlyll9ccn
(Don't report the FC issues to to Google Play. It's not even supposed to be on this device and the port works perfectly fine without FC's on other devices. Besides, you'd be putting in a TON of reports ).
Can I just flash the updated file over what I have our do I need to delete the one I already flashed first?

I flashed it and have it working on top of sense camera and gallery. It works, you get a ton of errors with the JB camera so it is nice to have a "working" camera and a "show off" camera.

Just flash the update. It will write mostly the same files and then add some supporting files to get it working. Again, there will be MANY FC's...some even when just using the Play Store. They do kinda get annoying. Just a heads up...
Just tried it. sweet!
Okay so I flashed the new camera and I can take photo sphere pictures but I can't view them.. Any ideas, I'm also on stock

if we flash this can we still use the features like burst shot and the 120fps recording?

Possible issue between Instagram and JB Roms

I flashed JellyBeer and really liked it. I was going to post a pic on instagram. It let me crop it but once it got to the effects portion it was blank. Googled it and saw there was an issue with the app on December 12. So I flashed JellyBam and the same issue. Restored a nandriod of Blackstar ( TW Rom) and its working fine. Anyone have instagram and experience this?

Did you do a fresh install of the app from thee playstore or did you restore the app from a backup?
Tried both.. Restored without data then deleted it and it got it from the app store

i know this is an old thread but i am having this problem now. ive tried the latest cm10.1 build and the latest rootbox build and they both do the same thing, when you try to take a video on instagram it turns green and freezes then force closes the app and reboots the phone... how did you get it working? what do you mean by "hw thing"? aany help is greatly appreciated cuz this problem sucks.
I have the same problem with video recording on instagram..I was told by a dev that since our custom roms are not signed n official instagram can't detect the rom correctly meanin its not an official rom...if that makes sense..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T879 using xda app-developers app
yeah i see what your saying. i wonder of theres any way to fix this??... like is there a way to sign the rom? or make the app read it as being signed? im not a pro at this but im not a total noob either, but ive never delt with anything like this.
Thats not why. It doesn't work on stock either. They just need to fix the app.
it works fine on my stock tw gs3... and worked fine on the one that i flashed cm10.1 onto when it was still stock. pretty sure its an aftermarket jb rom issue. hopefully cm10.2 will fix the camera problems because from what i understand 4.3 is supposed to handle the camera / permissions and security differently. thats what im hoping at least because this seems to have everyone stumped :/
Yes, I checked the market reviews and now most 4.1 JB users are having success and a good time with the app. It still looks like the 4.2 camera is the problem.
ok i see what your saying now. so i wonder if i replaced the 4.2 system camera with a stock 4.1 camera if that would fix the problem?... we'll see when i try it.
Technically yes, but there could be several library files that needs to go with the camera.apk
its weird, some 4.2.2 ROM's it works fine (Right now I'm using PAC, no issues...I THINK I had it working on Carbon, too...)
Others, it'll load the feed, but when you try to upload a picture...App locks up (Like Slim I know I had this issue.)
Wonder if that will help any devs...
I'm currently using latest PAC build, along with latest UBER and Instagram works fine. I can load pictures and watch videos, as well as post pictures. I can record and post videos, but it looks like tv static. Doesn't bother me though since the main functions work excellent.
Can you really say "it works fine" unless all advertised features work correctly?
Good point, I didn't test the video feature...
So it works for the most part, then.

I suppose not? I stated why I thought it works fine for me. I don't post up videos, so I don't really use that function. I can view other people's videos though.

CM 10.1+ SnapChat and Instagram Not working

I have two phones Samsung Galaxy Note (AT&T) and Samsung Skyrocket (i727).
CM 10.1.2 are installed on both.
Instagram - The video recording feature works on the Skyrocket, but not Note. The camera feature does not work until I disable 'advanced camera' option in the Instagram App itself, but the video feature is not available. Latest build is installed.
SnapChat - The camera and video recording features work on Skyrocket, but not Note. The camera and video access to snap chat hangs the operating system and you can see green over the camera image if it appears. Latest build is installed.
From Clockwork Touch Recovery (latest version), I have cleared cache, wipe dalvik, and wipe user data options prior to installing the latest CM10.1.2 and nightlies on the Note, but I still cannot get it to work. Fiddling with the developer options such as hardware overlay and hardware anti aliasing are not helping.
I spent a long weekend trying every build since CM 10.0 on the Note. It appears something changed in the nightly from April 15, 2013 or so nightly build that broke support in the camera. If I go back to the April 11 experimental build or 15th nightly build, both the Snapchat and Instagram work on the Note without issues.
Wrong thread. Try disabling HW overlays.

Disabling HW overlays did not help. I get a black screen on Instagram. And Snapchat still freezes/crashes.

Flashing a stock rom obviously works, but that isn't the goal of my post.
Per my original comment, CM 10 did work properly until 4.15.2013. I think a bug was introduced. The i727 (skyrocket) does not have this problem even on current builds. Is there any place to file a bug ticket for the quincyatt CM build? My openID doesn't seem to be allowed on CM's Jira system.
Have you tried different ROMs?
Instagram was working (mostly) for me on PACMan. Haven't tried 4.3, but the 4.2 version. The only thing is apparently video didn't work right...but I don't know, never used video.

Do you mean video recording or playback? Both were working in CM prior to 4/15/2013 on snapchat and instagram. Where can we report a bug?
Apologies, I should have specified.
I meant video recording is buggy. Everything else works fine, though.
As far as bugs, you can report them to the ROM developers in their thread. I'd try and provide a logcat if possible, so they can figure out the issue more.
