I had camera problems on liquid smooth 4.2.2 v2.4 kernel soap 3.0.76 so I was told that it was probably a hardware issue and i should probably revert back to 4.1.2 dont think so...Considering no camera app from gplay would work. So I would think it would had been a hardware issue also. So I wiped data dalvic and cach then flashed this ROM sons of android 4.2.2 kernel 3.0.70 soapKernel_05 then gapps rebooted and waited opened the camera and it works. Can't understand why the camera wouldn't work before.
The camera on the AOSP rom is a little dodgy for some people. If it shows the camera is disconnected, I can't remember the message it pops up, a battery pull will fix it usually. It is just am issue with the flash on 4.2 roms, if you touch to focus before taking the picture it will keep that from happening.

Well looks as if it wasn't a hardware issue after, which reverting back to 4.1.2 would have given you the same results. AOSP ROMs don't always play nicely with different types of hardware and the only way to rule hardware out as the culprit is to use the original software. Glad to see you got it working though.

Hi
Can anyone else run the stock Camera app after the Jellybean update?
There's a yellow box around the shutter and when I go to take a photo the application crashes.
Other camera apps work fine!

I've been using it, and it works fine with me. Do you have any apps that may affect the camera? And was it working fine with ICS?
No extra apps, yes it did work in ICS.
I'm hoping someone with a working camera in JB can dump the firmware for me

I updated Insert Coin Rom to 3.0 and my camera hasnt worked since. updated tuesday, and only went to use my camera yesterday and discovered it freezes on opening. flashlight toggle in my notifications bar also causes system UI to crash.
switched to Anonorom this morning, factory reset, restored apps + data from Titanium Pro, same thing. camera and flashlight both crash my system UI.
which sucks cause previous IC rom was great.
any help would be awesome. otherwise i guess i'm either flashing rom's or doing a full factory reset and restoring manually i guess..

First step is always factory reset .
Followed by flash stock firmware .

Also started having this issue last week, more than a month since I got my 4.1.2 OTA from T-mobile.
From what I experienced, both incidents when I was out, were in low light, and after I enabled low light mode within the camera controls.
There would be a freeze, then app crash returning to the homescreen.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this, and I'd really like to know what is causing it.
I have a feeling it is a setting in the touchwiz camera... because other camera apps (vignette, eyeem) launch the camera fine and without issue.

I started getting the freeze issue a few weeks back. I removed the SD card and tried the phone without it and it was fine again. Wiped the SD card and put it back in and all is working again. Hope this helps some of you.
Hi guys,
I've been searching for a fully stable flashable .zip for the JB 4.2 camera&gallery app with Photosphere. I have tried "4CamNex2.zip" & "4.2Camera_t04.zip" apps. The latter with slightly improved stability, (photosphere, panorama etc. working) however main issue/bug is: in standard photo taking mode, if you tap the screen to focus (or pre focus) and then take the picture, camera and gallery crash - Quite frustrating.
I've wiped cache&dalvik and re-flashed zip etc. (this helped as the first time I flashed the zip, photosphere was not working - solved by clearning cache & re-flashing)
Running:
Liquidsmooth v2.1 - 4.2.2
Siyah kernel 1.9.1
Thanks for any input!
Questions Welcomed also
UPDATE:
The crashing only occurs when the flash comes on. Forcing flash off or when there is enough ambient light you can pre-focus on a spot then take the pic.
I think currently there is no camera stable for 4.2.
I'm very interested in this as well (who wouldn't be?). I wonder if anyone is even working on it, and where we could perhaps track the progress. I don't see anything in the log tracker but I could have missed it.

when Cm10.1 nightly builds reach stable stage youll be able to use this camera with photosphere normally, now its just expérimental..
Sent from my Supercharged V12 Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk
they never will. CM said it will be stable only if Samsung release the sources, which will not happen
how to i delete this...
you have a completely different device
Dont know why but jb+ camera works perfect on aosp roms. No touch to focus issues, front camera working perfect.Only persisting issue is that sometimes sound on recorded videos is very low. After hundreds of hours testing and trying to reproduce the bug i thing it is related to notifications or sound volume adjusting. For example:when i recieve some notification immediately after booting my phone and then i want to grab some video-recorded sound is too low..... Can someone tell me if its kernel, rom or what? Why touch to focus works perfectly on jb+ camera without samsung exynos4 sources but this bug is still present. I just cant sleep.......

Sorry, wasn't paying attention.
Can anyone provide a download link to the standard jellybean (4.2.+) camera apk/zip?
I did find this camera worked quite well (stock samsung one that is), with the exception of no photosphere (which is only really usefully for showing off to be honest)
I'm having an issue with every rom except the stock rom with the phone automatically rebooting itself while doing simple tasks and showing a green screen. I tried enabling force gpu rendering etc but still getting this. Though with any stock roms (default rogers rom + the jb 4.1.2 for att etc) i dont occur this issue. What could be the problem?
Yeah this happens wayyy to often on 4.2.2 roms a little bit less on 4.1.x roms.

This is usual since we do not have the kernel source to make ROMS stable and not reboot. 4.2.2 ROMs are more stable then 4.1.2 so idk what you did there.

Rebooting on 4.2 ROMS
I'm having the same problem as OP with my i717 It happens bad on all of the 4.2 ROM's I've tried, and I know it's not the ROM. So far I've tried: Slim, Supernexus, CM10.1,ReVolt all of which I love! I really want to fix this. I start a game or other app and get a wildly flashing green, blue or sometimes black screen and then she reboots. Usually when opening a game or instagram, but not limited to those apps. It's hard for me to replicate the symptoms. Anyone else struggling with these symptoms on 4.2 roms? It seems less often on 4.1.2 ROM. When I restore a Blackstar ICS setup from twrp the phone runs beautifully. I've used darkside super-wipe hoping that would help. I've also tried changing recovery. Now I'm running out of things to try. I feel like somethings not being cleaned properly before install but I'm new so I don't really know.
Should I try using ODIN to flash a stock jelly bean firmware in order to sort of "start over fresh"?
I wish I could explain to everyone better my problem.

1) AOSP is unofficial so these is going to happen. 2) Is your screen flickering? 3) if so check HW overlays in dev options.

It happens to PACman ROMs too, try listening to music while attempting to cause the crash.. .There will be a loud beeping sound, followed by the greenish-blue screen, then the device will shut off, and reboot
I got the crash on trying to wake the device to unlock, and grabbed a logcat using Catlog.
Hello.
I have CM10.1 installed and I update often but I still have my crashes happening. For some reason whenever I use instagram, facebook and other apps have the the camera function, my phone reboots. This doesn't happen when i use the regular camera.
Anyone had this problem?
Did u make clean wipe before flash rom? Or mega wipe something like that. Imo factory reset doesn't make ur phone clean enough for flashing rom. Try formatting system before flash rom.

Yes and it's annoying as hell! I've had CM 10.1.2 stable on for quite awhile now and yes I'd wiped it 3x, dalvik, etc but out of the blue one day, the Gallery app had my camera photos in a folder and when I clicked on a image to display from there, the screen went black and it rebooted. It's gone from bad to worse. Now it crashes when I even scroll through the gallery pics. So much for "stable". This is a considerable bug IMO.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions??
Sds?
Suggest you change kernel (also suggest if you do the LATEST siyah one. most stable one so far).
Suggest you change rom: aosp not so good for s3: unstable and high battery drainage.
Also cyanogen known for being unstable on s3.
suggest foxhound rom if flash.

This is the third or fourth time downgrading. Unfortunately I've encountered bugs, performance issues and force closes in various system applications.
Last night, I tried AGAIN to move forward and update. The latest update was 4.3. Unfortunately 4.4 has not yet been released and even if it was it is likely to come with bugs until an update or two rectifies any issues.
Now, these are some problems/bugs experienced with 4.3:
1 - Camera is now laggy whereas on 4.2 is was silky smooth. Only improvements I see on the latest update is a decrease in both noise/iso sensitivity as well as many other various camera effects.
Focusing takes far longer than before.
2 - Sound Settings keeps force closing in the 4.3 update. I'm not able to access or change the xLoud setting. I've cleared data, cache and even re-flashed. Keeps crashing. Downgrading to 4.2 solved this issue. Sound is LOUDER and xLoud works as it should.
3 - Screen - There is a slight delay when finishing from a call. It takes a few seconds for the proximity sensor to wake the screen to end the call. On 4.2 it is instant.
4 - Performance issue. 4.2 was smooth, fluid and instant. 4.3 feels heavier and not as quick as it previously was.
Therefore, with the above issues, I've had no choice but to downgrade. There were more advantages in 4.2 than in 4.3 which had issues, unfortunately.
I hope these problems are solved in the upcoming 4.4 Kitkat. Could other users share any problems caused by the latest updates? Was the stock 4.2 rom any better?
Sorry, pal, I am on 4.3 .136 and the only thing I have observed is the laggy proximity sensor, which was fixed after some calibration (search for Hammdog's post). No traces at all of the other problems you mention. Camera shots are far better, and overall performance is excellent. Is it possible that you experience some sort of software incompatibility due to the apps you use?

Ahh, so the laggy proximity sensor was a problem for others, not only me.
In 4.3 .136, the camera is better as you said but I'm experiencing lag, it's slow and takes 3-5 seconds to focus should the light be poor.
4.2 camera was substantially faster. Any reason why my sound settings keep crashing on 4.3?
so it crashes even after a CLEAN re-flash or factory reset?
clean as in no app data restored, just pure stock naked rom

Yes. The ONLY thing crashing is when attempting to open the sound settings and enable the xLoud option. Force closes even after flashing, factory reset, etc.
my humble opinion is that in the same situation i'd either stay on 4.2 or just root, get recovery and flash a stock based custom ROM or some AOKP, PA goodness or maybe GPe ROM
i have not encountered this issue before nor have I heard of it

GPe Rom sound like a nice idea.
However, I'm thinking to patiently wait for the highly anticipated KitKat to be officially released.
That said, staying on the current 532 Android 4.2 will make rooting easier before upgrading to 4.4.
No issues (incl proximity sensor or cam lag) for me on any 4.3 rom. If we were all having xloud fc there would be many threads about it - so it's not a Sony 4.3 issue, it's a @kanej2006 issue (not having a go at you, just saying your problems can't be automatically assumed to be problems for all and therefore flaws in 4.3)

Very strange as I only had these problems when upgrading to 4.3. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved in the future when upgrading to Kitkat.
