I made a call to Google hardware support, and they said it would fix it. They must have been correct.

@MrSewerPickle, I have a question for you.
Have you unlocked your bootloader prior to the updates?
Did your camera break going from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3?
Did your camera start working just by updating to 4.4.4?
I have a GPE with an unlocked bootloader and a broken camera wih 4.4.3. I have reverted back to 4.4.2 for now and the camera started working but would like to update to 4.4.4 if it will retain camera functionality.
Thank you.
Update?
It's Monday and I still haven't seen this update yet? Anyone got a copy of the OTA I can use to try it?

So some clarification:
- The 4.4.4 update fixed my camera. I took a few pictures then decided to take a video. Switching to video recording caused the screen to go black then the camera icon to appear like before like its busted. It is now busted and stuck in that if I load the camera app now.
Summary
----------------
- I do have a unlocked boot loader (did it with 4.4.2)
- I have ART set as the JVM.
- Upgrading to 4.4.3 broke video and picture capture.
- Upgrading to 4.4.4 fixed picture capture until I switch to video recording, then that broke both video and picture capture.
- When loading the camera app and looking at the log, I see a lot of "CredMgr..." Errors and I have no clue why that's involved with video/picture capture.
Updated-no camera fix
Updated to 4.4.4 everything else is great-camera is still broken.

Hi.
What kernel can I use to change the default camera? my htc evo 3d cdma's rear cameras are not working (when I open the camera app or pressed the camera button it goes black screen and then force-close).
Thanks.
I'm currently using Android Revolution HD 2.0.1 rom.
Have you tried reflashing the Rom or flashing a new one?

yes I have tried that path with no success. I heard that there's a way out by using custom kernel that allows us to change the default camera to load.
Did you make sure that the ROM has working camera? Probably isn't working because the ROM isn't fully compatible with the ROM!

Yes, I just checked it again and the ROM do support camera as one of the ROM feature is "improved camera performance".
The ROM that I use is Android Revolution HD 2.0.1 located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30484757. I have also double checked it by searching if there was any complaint from other users about the camera and I found none.

I would recommend to go to settings/apps/all and click on the camera.apk and when opened clear data and cache.
Changing to a custom kernel will not change your camera, installing another camera app will do that. The kernel is most likely nothing to do with your problem. Camera stuff like this is usually ROM related.
It can also be a kernel issue to depending on which kernel and what version it is. Most of the ROMs today have working cameras except the new Jellybean 4.2.1. (As far as I know right now)
But like raptor said, its more than likely the app itself.

This is really weird.
I recently installed CM10.1 from GB, and camera HAD been working (or so I thought). Now, when I start the camera, I get the dreaded "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" error. :crying::crying:
I've tried clearing Gallery data, clear everything (data, cache, davlik, /system, and /data) and reinstalling CM10.1, and I'm still getting the error.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.
Just download an app that uses the camera.

I am still having camera problems unfortunately...the supplied camera app doesn't force close, seems to take a picture REALLY SLOWLY, and then, doesn't seem to save the image - e.g. the flash remains on and doesn't ever turn off after the audible taking picture sound. I also tried CameraMX on this ROM, and it too has problems saving pictures.
I'm open to any ideas anyone has. Thanks in advance
Both the CM10.1 ROMs released for the SGP5.0 have non functioning front cameras. The preview works, which is why you are sometimes able to save pictures with third party apps. To solve the error though from unfortunately camera has stopped you have to get the camera.apk from JackpotClavin's April 7th build. Its in his zip. just replace the camera app with this and it should work better.

Its not camera.apk its Gallery2.apk . Either way only the front faciNg video chat camera works, the 3.2 or 5.0 mp camera does not take pictures, even though the preview works. The April 14th camera/gallery FCing is a known issue so yeah just take the Gallery2.apk from April 7th.

On PAC-Man my gallery/camera isn't force-closing. I had to unmount the sd card and reboot though, because it always said, that there is no external sd card available. And I think I also had to clear data of the gallery app.
Hope this helps.

I found the Gallery2.apk from April 7th and installed it. It doesn't look like you can uninstall either version of the gallery app. The version shows 1.1.40001. Is this the correct version?
I "Cleared Data" in the gallery app and I'm still having trouble saving pictures. It seems to take the picture, but doesn't complete the process. I've also tried SnapChat and CameraMX with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The rear camera with the flash is not going to save pictures (yet) that is one of the last few bugs left in Jackpot's CM10.1, however the fron vga camera will save pictures and even work for skype. Did you remove the old Gallery2.apk from /system/vendor/app/ and replace it with the Apr 7th one and set the permissions correctly? The only reason you needed the new one was to stop the "gallery has stopped working" message.
I hope i have been of assistance.

Solved "Camera stopped Working"
For me the error "Camera stopped Working" was solved by removing the application settings from the Camera app in app settings. I am using PAC version 4.4.Alpha-1.
Hey guys,
just wanted to check if others have this issue. I'm on stock JB and there is this weird issue with instagram where I press the record the button, the time indicator starts moving like it's recording, I see the live preview of whats being recorded, but the moment I let go of the button, the slider just goes back to the beginning, like nothing is recorded.
This is only with the rear camera. Front camera works perfectly.
No force close, I uninstalled the app, installed again same thing.
Just curious if others have this issue?
Yeah same here.

Same issue. Rear camera doesn't work. Front camera works.
But the all important rear camera doesn't record Instagram video on my AT&T LG Optimus G. Damn
i'm having this issue with instagram video everytime i'm using CM10 rom.
While recording the video quality is so bad and when you want to upload, the video will go crazy like there's a pink and greenish color. so messed up. and then you proceed to upload instagram will fc.
I've tried stock rom JB, no issue. Stock rom ICS, no issue.
I've tried Gimlo rom, no issue. Only with CM10.
I like CM10 but this bug is pretty annoying.

I still have the stock rom and the instagram video only works with the front camera so far... you can only take video with the camera app and then upload it on instagrm that's how I do it right now.
The camera app on my Droid DNA crashes whenever I open it or another application that uses the camera. I am currently running CyanogenMod (11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-dlx), however it behaved the same way on the stock ROM (4.1.1 and 4.2.2). When this first happened, it would work for about a week, then not work for a week. But now it seems to permanently not be working. I am wondering whether this would be a hardware issue, or if there is something software related that needs fixed. I should also add that the front camera works just fine. I will attach system and kernel logs too. They are filtered to show anything with the word "cam" present. They are in the .docx format because they're color-coded, but plaint .txt files will be there also.

I just open any application that uses the rear camera, it sits for about 5-10 seconds, and then that application crashes.

Hmm...Well, this is taking it a micro-step further, and you've probably already tried this: Along with cache, clear the data. Try force stopping the app first, clearing the cache, then the data, in that order. It shouldn't erase your pictures, but as a precaution I'd back them up first.
Maybe even reflashing the M5 snapshot after that, if that doesn't work, would be worth a shot.
Hearing that you've had problems with the camera on the stock rom though makes me feel uneasy lol...it could be faulty hardware at that point.

Still not working. I am almost convinced that it is hardware related, but before I buy a new sensor, I'll hold out for Android 4.4.3 (the next rumored release in a week or two) as this release will supposedly have many bug fixes. That's probably the last step before I call it a hardware issue.

When you say clean flash do you mean not restoring any apps, etc?
If you have nothing but the ROM and gapps installed and it does this (the logs agree with you that not much happened for 6 seconds then the camera stopped) then it is possibly a hardware problem.

I've tried safe mode, and the problem still exists. To my understanding, this is the same as a clean install because only system and gapps are allowed to run.
Paranoid Android team now officially supports Xperia X. I am not not a developer. I am creating this thread for discussions about this ROM.

Weird, I'm using the rom now since two days and haven't got any restarts yet and haven't noticed anything wrong with the fingerprint.
The only thing I can confirm is the camera quality, for me it's ok as I don't use the camera that much anyway.
No restarts here either. Been using for two days. Works nice. Camera quality is not great but it is fast to take a picture. Fingerprint sensor doesnt work at all for me
Edit: finger print does work just buggy.
does this rom work with the dual sim version ?
Anybody tried flashing clean DRM-fix kernel to fix the camera issue?
Camera does not suck, the reason the photos. Were blurry was because the stock gallery app takes alot of time to render the image. Here's a sample image that I took.
I think this is a good ROM but I won't be using it for now since I don't want to do a full reset of my phone.
UPDATE: video recording does not work.
What if one would use a custom camera app would that help with the quality or do they all require some sort of proprietary components? I'm not talking about SteadyShot...etc, just good overall picture results using 3rd party apps on 3rd party ROMs.
so can someone make a thread about how to install the rom? I am a newbie on fastboot locked phones

Follow this link :
This is for Xperia M but this should also work for Xperia x except that you have to take DRM backup before you unlock bootloader.
Fingerprint worked for me initially.
But after adding a second fingerprint, fingerprint-unlock stopped working. Also deleting fingerprints from the settings does not work anymore. Adding new fingerprints also fails now..
Has anyone made the same observation? Possible fix?
