I have updated my stock JB to 4.2 JB by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308431
But since then, my main camera has stopped working. The camera app is missing from the phone too. If I try to snap a pic through the fb app or whatsapp, I can do it using the front camera only.
How can I get the main camera to work? Even if I installa camera app from the google store, it recognises only the front camera.
When installing the update thru windows, I had an error on the lines of 'driver signature not verified', but the installation was complete. Could this be a reason?

I need help installing the STOCK GS3 Camera app & Gallery to my Paranoid-ROM v2+.
I'm a not a frequent poster to XDA but i have read many a posts so I know a thing or two (At least 2 things total =P).
I also know I NEED HELP to do this, since I'm still a novice compared to many of you on this site.
Since I don't know enough, I've tried some controlled experiments below... ok I tried brute forcing it through various combinations. But after about 6 hours of reading and attempts, I'm out of ideas and with nothing to show for it.
I used the following files so far:
SamsungCamera_HX-MOD.zip
Camera_HX-MOD_1.52_CWM.zip
-----
A SUMMARY OF ATTEMPTS:
I have downloaded HX Mod, Stock Camera app.
Enabled root for Apps and ADB.
Copy & Paste-
Experimented with permissions settings in Root Explorer for the Stock Camera app to read/write/execute, set uid, set guid, sticky
All install attempts failed
CWM
Experimented with a mix of copying camera apps, and flashing zip.
I never saw one single new file after flashing any zips, be it the camera, or the camera mod. Also tried subsequent zip flashing of camera zip first followed by the HX mod 2nd and a reboot, still no new files displayed.
-----
What I've gleaned so far, if it helps you help me:
The Gallery apk of the Paranoid-ROM has a built in activity shortcut for the camera, camera prefrences, and video camera.
I theorize replacing the gallery will remove the camera app and video app, freeing any conflicts, but I DONT KNOW ENOUGH of what steps I am missing to sucessfully install the STOCK GS3 Cam, and gallery in its place.

ANY HELP would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've installed the Lenovo super cam on my XZU, but it seems like it replaced the stock camera and now it's gone. I already deleted the Lenovo camera, but the stock never showed up.
I've been looking this forums for the stock camera, but seems like they are hundreds of camera apps but the stock one. Any idea how to get it back? Or where to get a copy of the original one? Besides a complete wipe, because I've just format and reinstall all my apps, and I don't want to do it again.
Thanks in advance.

Not the answer you want, but the stock camera is crap. try "a better camera".
You should be able to keep all the installed apps/data by flashing the latest FTF and make sure that the wipe data option is not selected

try Google official camera app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
or
camera zoom fx - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom
Hit THANKS if I helped
Hi, Thanks for your sugestions
I started to looking for ways to get it back, until I remember That I can uninstall updates, and so I did. Uninstalled the camera updates and voila .
Actually the camera isnt That bad, specially when you install the Z2 addons, and use the Cybershot module of Xposed Framework, wich allow to Take photos in full res.
I've used the other cameras, but to Take pictures with pacient, for quick shots of random thingslile wire sets, diagrams and That kind of pics , the stock camera is ok.
I tried porting several ROMs (from mtkroms.com) from 4.4.2 to 6.0, and succedeed, but I can't get camera to work. It just says "Can't connect to the camera". I edited ported BOOT.IMG (init.rc) with camera settings from my stock ROM, but to no avail.
Also, I tried to copy various camera files from stock ROM's lib and hw folders to port ROM, but nothing. Everything else on the phone works perfectly.
Yup, I tried some other camera apps, but none of them work (app starts but there is no picture, and then app freezes).
The phone has front and back camera, but neither one works.
Phone is Intelkom Meanit Promise MQ512, Chinese MTK6582 clone.
Can anybody give me me any advice? Thank you!
Hello,
I have accidentally flashed Sultan's Camera zip on OxygenOS 3.1.4
Now, whenever I try to take a picture, the Camera app force closes
I can take pictures with Snapchat though, so I'm sure it's just a software issue
I've tried flashing this zip : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzct65GWV98MZEJjbDhiNU5sUVU/view yet nothing has changed
How can I fix this ?
EDIT
Solved. Follow these instructions and clear the Camera app data :good:
Try following this posts instructions. If that doesn't work, the only thing I can think of is it try and reflash your rom.
