try going back to stock rom. camera still not working? than it is probably a hardware issue .take it to a service center

Try flashing the ROM again after wiping caches. Faced this problem today for the first time with Omega. If that doesnt help try to flash some other ROM.

See your identical same post

Is this a common issue
From the experiences on installing custom roms (AOSP based) such as CM 10.1(snapshot release) and AOKP(milestone). Camera crashing was the common and irritating bug ever had. In CM 10.1 it was slightly less, but in AOKP Camera freezes like 1 time interval (1st time not responding and 2nd time it's working).
I've read in most of the AOSP based roms for S3 (I9300), this is a common since the firmware itself is locked. Is there any glitch free AOSP based roms with good rom controls and customizable options available for S3? I'm really looking forward for Paraniod Android and RootBox, fingers crossed
Also does flashing kernal will do any good? (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42766353&postcount=4)
I'm sorry if this post intended to against the thread topic.
** FIXED THIS WITH THE ROOTBOX ROM, BUT PROBLEM CAUSE IS STILL CONFUSING **

[Q] [XXLSJ] Modem issue

Hi,
Sorry if my question looks noobish but I can't find anything relevant. I was running NeatRom Lite for a while without major issues except some touchwizz FCs, and decided to install the latest Omega. Now from times to times I got disconnected from the network and I can't even register on any available carrier.
1) Do you think a new modem will solve the problem ? I thought this was RIL related but the application Get RIL is only for AOSP/AOKP roms...
2) Are all modems working with XXLSJ ? The signal in France is really bad so I'd really like to change it...
Thanks in advance

Modem that comes with LSJ is LS6..I never had a problem with it. Try another modem like LQ6 .And i have used neatrom lite for weeks. But i never had a single FC, Specially with touchwiz. Are you sure you did a full wipe before installing the rom??
Ok I'll give a try to LQ6, thanks !

[Q] Problems with Resurrection Remix® v4.0.7

Hi,
I installed ROM Resurrection Remix® v4.0.7 [i.e. 4.2.2] on my S2 and have three issues:
Sometimes Phone gets hot and reboots. This has been reported also in the RR4.0.7 thread (where I may not yet post)
Back Camera is not reliable on HD720p recording. Sometimes it works for 1 recording, afterwards phone hangs and finally "Camera failure" is reported.
Front Camera is not working at all. Tried to start Video Chat with Google hangout, but got "Camera Failure".
The camera is working in stock 4.1.2.
Should I switch to a 4.1.2 ROM or are there any "stable" 4.2.2 ROMs out there with working & reliable Camera incl. HD movie recording ?
Thanks!

there is a lot of custom roms to try like cyanogen mod,slimbean,biftor,neatrom lite...etc. If the camera doesnt work well then switch back to stock.

You confuse me. A few threads before it was said that CM ROMs do not support camera well ( see this tread . Why do you recommend CM then ?

[Q] Sensors Work And Stop Working

I own a Galaxy S4 I9505 device.
Earlier I was running the stock based Custom ROM (Imperium 16.1, Android 4.4.2) on my S4 and there was no problem at all. That ROM gave me supreme performance, stability and battery life.
And then official Lollipop (5.0.1) was released by Samsung. I flashed the latest stock based custom Lollipop ROM on my device and the problem started (or may be the problem started because I have dropped my device once).
Now what happens is ... after I flash a ROM everything is working fine. But then after some uncertain period all the sensors stop working on the device.
Sometimes the issue is resolved by a simple restart, at times I have to clear the Cache and sometimes I have to clear the Cache and Dalvik Cache**.
All the sensors start working and after some time suddenly, all the sensors stop working.
I have tried all stock based Custom Lollipop ROMs and even AOSP based Lollipop ROMs, but this problem is persistent with all the Lollipop ROMS.
I have even tried Original Lollipop Firmware (flashed through odin), but the problem persists.
I open the back-cover and tightened all the screws, thinking it could resolve the issue. But the problem persists.
I am not able to decipher if this is a Software or Hardware issue.
Can anyone help me on this? Has anyone faced this type of problem? :crying:
I am not sure if this is the right place to post such a question. If it isn't please guide me to a proper thread.
Thanks
Since you just said you drop the phone.. i think it has something to do with that... looks like a hardware issue..

@radz.min thanks for the screen shot .... you think it could be a hardware issue ... but as i mentioned .... sensors work good for half an hour or so and then they stop working ... if it was a hardware issue ... it should not work at all .... right ??

Focus Fix issue

I in the past did not have the issue where the camera keeps making sound and can't focus at all, I've seen that devs have made special kernel for such users, is this issue permanent for all roms that I install henceforth or just on the current rom, if I flash a focus Fix kernel will its effect be on my current rom only or on all the roms I install after that? does focus Fix kernel restore it back to original state or you still have slight issue and hardware clicks? I'd appreciate answers!

Hi
Just like you I didn't have focuse issue but after I flashed a ROM with the fix now i have clicking sound and refocusing in videos. And I have this problem now in every ROM even the ROMs without the fix.
Now I'm trying to solve this problem, I hope rolling back to the official stock ROM will help me.
I don't recommend to install a ROM with the fix!

install pixel experience++ unofficial rom, you won't have the focus issue on that, it has no bugs except for the fact that volte doesn't work on it after reboot yet.

install pixel experience++ unofficial rom it won't have focus issue, you won't have volte on that after reboot though. it doesn't have any other bug that I know of
Does the Focus Issue problem work with Pixel Experience++ ?
Because i have the problem since i flashed a rom and the problem is still alive
i have tested many different camera apps but none fix the blurry pictures.
the focus works on a very low distance, but when you go outside and want to take a picture, they are always blurry..
I had the focus issue (blocked at 20 cm) and installing Resurrection Remix (RR-N-v5.8.5-20171006-x2-Final.zip), worked for me
