Is anyone else having issues with their camera app force closing when they push the record button on the video recorder?
It works fine on TW roms but never works on AOSP roms. I'm not sure what is causing the force close but I've tried several different AOSP roms and it's always the same thing.
The camera works fine when taking pictures by the way. I'm currently running avatars rom and loving every minute of it.
I tried searching through the forums but couldn't find anyone with similar problems. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,
I am on Omega rom and it's pretty nice. But, like every Samsung based rom, there are some things that bother me, the main thing is the lag when opening the dialer and the gallery. It can take sometimes up to 3 seconds for these apps to open when they haven't be launched in a while. Since the CM10 based rom still have some bugs which are crucial to me (no wifi & bluetooth tethering), I am sticking with the Samsung based roms.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to flash the original AOSP dialer and gallery?
if there isn't,
2. Is there a way to prevent the dialer & gallery from closing?
Thanks a lot, I really hope someone can offer some good advice here.

i dont know the answers to your 2 questions.. but bluetooth tethering does work on CM10 based roms. wifi tethering is broken but wifi itself works just fine.
Yeah, I just saw that BT tethering is finally working, but wifi tethering is still broken... and I use that pretty often...

I can't post in the dev thread yet, but has anyone else had a problem with the camera function on this ROM? The camera has worked perfectly fine for about 3-4 weeks and all of a sudden it crashes every time I try to use the camera. Apps such as Instagram and Facebook also crash when trying to use the camera function also. Anyone encountered this problem? I would just reinstall the ROM again, but I don't want to lose apps, etc.

If anyone was wondering, I'm talking about the camera, not the camcorder. The camcorder/video doesn't work on this ROM, but the camera worked fine up until now. Any fixes?
I've been rooted since I first picked up my i777 Galaxy S2 back in June of last year and have been swapping between different ROM's since roughly October. At some point (and I have no idea when) the camera seemed to start showing pictures taken in portrait as landscape but the issue is sporadic. Right now I'm on a touchwhiz based ROM (SHOstock3 v2.1 (most recent)) and the gallery and messaging apps will show the pictures as I took them but if I use Instagram (no matter what ROM I'm using at the time) I have to rotate the pic because it ONLY shows pics in landscape. I first discovered the problem when using the stock messaging app in Task650's AOKP ROM, but the same holds true for Rayaab's SuperNexus ROM or any other AOSP/AOKP based ROM when using the stock Google messaging app. I can use a different messaging app like Handcent when using those ROM's and pictures will show correctly but when I pick a ROM, I like to use the "stock" apps the ROM's come with for basic functions like messaging, email. I have even tried some of the camera apps from the Play Store while using the AOKP/AOSP based ROM's to see if that fixes the problem but it does not. It seems as though something has gone screwy and I have no idea when or how it might have happened. I'm hoping someone here might have some insight.
Thanks in advance.

That is just how AO*P ROMs work. They all do that. TW is the only one that works correctly in that manner BUT every image shows up as a slide show which sucks also but me personally...I'd rather have the slideshow then have every portrait image rotate.
I'm assuming instagram is the same way. I don't use it personally but my wife does and I can check with her.
I never thought you would be the one answering my question but thank you SHOman! The reason I don't think it's the ROM's is that I seem to remember using Instagram before I ever started flashing and not having to rotate pictures taken in portrait. But there again I can't recall if it was only before I started flashing different ROM's or if it was working for a while when I was using the AO*P ROM's.

i have the jellybeans rom installed, with the 4.2 camera app. I had the 4.2 for my galaxy nexus and it worked wonnderfully. however, on the note 2, whenever i try to record video(any resolution), the screen aspect ratio gets all weird on me. ill take a couple screenshots. Also, photosphere doesnt work, it doesnt force close or anything, it just keeps glitching out at the "align to start" thinger. i think the gyroscope or something is fcked.
if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated, as i have been using the 4.2 since my gnex. cant find the other camera appealing to me.
also, im on perseus kernel if that helps
*right after posting i found the fix for video. it does it whenever i switch from photo to video recording. STIll cant figure out photosphere though.
thanks! and im turning 21 in a half hour WOO WOOOO!
I hate to see people having trouble repeatedly with camera 4.2apk. Too much bugs and errors......but some people got it working without any issues. The problem is they can't seem to trouble shoot others who have issues, because they don't know how to. They will just say shxt like wipe out everything and reinstall it. Well......fuxk that. That's not a solution..... and it didn't work out. Just dump that shxt and use 4.1. :good:
Hi All,
Long time reader of the forum, finally registered an account.
I'm having an issue wherein the camera freezes and crashes while taking video in apps. Video works fine while recording using the camera app. I've noticed this while using the messaging app and vine. In vine the video starts recording for about .5 seconds before crashing.
I am rooted and using AOKP JB rom (latest). I would have posted in that forum but I'm not allowed since it's a new account (you guys are serious here). I've searched that forum, found a few related posts but no resolution. I have fully wiped, I have cleared app data. I think its a problem with a ROM or Kernel itself. Actually seems like a buffer issue since the video records briefly before crashing but who knows.
If anyone has had a similar issue maybe with another ROM let me know. thanks.
No one else has had this problem??
If there was another topic let me know, I've searched heavily but maybe I've missed it.
I'm just trying to determine if this is hardware or software (or kernel/ROM).
Can anyone confirm that they are NOT having this issue and let me know what software you're running?
Thanks.
The most reliable test of whether your problem is hardware or firmware related is to flash back to stock and try the video in the stock camera. You can make a nandroid backup and restore it afterwards to get back to where you are now.
On the stock GB ROM the camera works in SMS but malfunctions in some apps.
I just flashed the official JB ROM from samsung and everything works perfectly, so definitely software.
same issue here, for vine, snapchat, instagram.
Similar issue here, with a Samsung Galaxy 2 (SGH-T989D) running JB 4.1.2 with the official JB update, rooted.
Camera will work for 20-30 seconds and then the in-app video preview will freeze and the only way to get the camera to work again is to reboot. There is no zombie Camera process to kill. Fixing permissions doesn't help. Doesn't matter which app tries to access the camera, they all fail.
I've tried the diagnostics test (*#0*#) and have been able to determine that it's only the rear facing camera that fails, the front facing camera always works fine.
I tried various camera firmware versions (using the "Camera Firmware Standard" screen, *#34971539#), currently running version SEEH05. Other versions either didn't work at all or would perform equally poorly.
I thought it might be an SD card problem,
But after removing the external SD card, the camera performed even worse (crashed even faster).
On the other hand the phone is still under warranty from Telus, so I'm considering flashing back the unrooted ROM and returning it for repairs, unless someone can suggest something else to try.
Running PAC ROM (22.0 i think) from the ported development section and have the same issue with the rear camera but the front camera seems to work OK most of the time for Snapchat and such. A while back I tried one of the separate 4.2.2 camera APK's that's floating on this site and had the same issue still.
Has anyone tried the new leaked 4.3 camera to see if that works better/worse?
Not sure if this would work or not, but you could probably try.
Clear out all current videos and pictures on internal sd card(of course after taking backup), wipe/reset and then do a fresh rom install.
