Hi,
Aside from the stock Samsung rom- every other rom built on 4.3 results in a broken camera.
I've tried several (rXtreme, Aroma etc) and in every one, the same thing happens. When I open up the camera, I can hear a faint sound/clicking from the camera area/speaker. Then it says "Camera Failed"
Dumb thing to say, but it's like the rom makes it think the speaker is the camera, and is sending power to it to launch the camera.
On stock Samsung roms (ie 4.3), and any roms on 4.4+, the camera DOES work. However, I need HDMI support so I cannot use 4.4.
I've tried all the solutions suggested eg SlimISP's files, different mods/roms/fixes etc. It's been happening for 6 months- so I had to switch back to Apple
Please give me any ideas here- I really want to get back on Android
Probably some files left over from previous firmware, do a full wipe before flashing.
Do this:
1. Flash stock, open camera, test that it works.
2. Use your favorite file browser with root access (Samsung MyFiles or whatitsname doesn't work) and go to to /data/cfw
3. Find .bin file there, that's your Camera FirmWare, copy it to a safe location.
4. Flash favorite 4.3 mod with favorite 4.3 custom kernel with SE permessive. (Agni or Boeffla, or use stock, but be aware that certain themes make WiFi not work)
5. Open camera, confirm it doesn't work.
6. Copy .bin file into /data/cfw, re-open camera.
I know you tested SlimISP files, but this method works ALWAYS for me, at least on AMCHA 5.x and TGP
Also, the alternative is to flash custom rom with stock kernel. Open camera to generate SlimISP bin. Flash custom kernel

Thanks so much for the reply.
So, I've written the stock rom onto my device (un-rooted). Problem is, because of Knox, I cannot root the stock software. I've tried removing Knox and a few methods, but I just can't root it. I'm using Odin 3.09. Am I missing something?

Hi all
I rooted my Galaxy 5.0 player (YP-G70 US version running 2.3.5) using onesuperclick successfully. Im looking to put a good working ROM (one that has everything working until ICS ROM camera bugs are sorted out).For now I decided to try Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Galaxy Player 5.0 For USA and INT (Rls:3.5) {UPDATED}.Is this the best room with everythign working?????
Also
I want to know do i need to flash with a kernel before i do this.or should i just chose the above rom to flash??
I see two kernels rj and entropy..what are they??are the kernels only needed for clockwork method??what is cwm?
And when ICS bugs are all sorted would i be able to just flash it with that ROM the similar way or do i need some kernel.??
one last question is there anyway to make a backup of my current stock firmware/kernel in case i want to roll back or something goes wrong.
Thanks for help in advance,
No, you can't backup your device as is, not to my knowledge. There is a copy of the stock ROM/kernel floating around somewhere here though.
With Eryigit, I believe that the kernel comes included in the ROM (hence, flashing the wrong variant [eg the INT'L version] will brick your device), so no- you shouldn't need to flash a kernel. check with the page though. ie If it says flash Entropys kernel before (Entropy= US SGP), do it. If not, don't.

Well, actually, flashing Eryigit Rom is quite safe... regardless of what device you have (INT or US)... The only thing is that if you flash the US version (Capacitive Home button) to an INT version (Hardware Home button) then your home button will not function... that is basically it.. no bricking will occur.
If you do flash the wrong version of Eryigit's rom, just simply flash the right kernel and you are good to go. No need to flash the whole rom over.
So... Eryigit's rom is quite good GB rom. I use it on two of my 5.0 players (INT) and it's quite stable and everything works...
Any of these current ICS roms (and future ones for that matter) will more likely contain the kernels as part of the rom... just flash the package and you should be set... Just make sure you read all the instructions carefully because a failure to do so WILL brick your device... ^_~
As for the backing up your stock rom... I believe there are a few stock roms (along with instructions) to be found in the devs section if you decide to go back. Your stock recovery will not allow you to do a nandroid backup.
thank you, can anybody post here the direct download link for that updated Eryigit rom. There are various links in that thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144) i don't know which one i need.
EDIT:
nevermind; i found it.
i was able to flash the Eryigit 2.3.6 rom after flashing with DD_01142012.tar without any problems.
Im having couple of probelma with the updated Eryigit rom. The music shortcut icon in the bottom left corner ont he main screen always force closes. (Although the program works in apps menu). the 2nd thing is the battery does not last longer.
Are these are known issues???
UBefore you flash to a new ROM,,ALWAYS no matter what you have to make a nAndroid backup.to do this install clockwork mod (search,its not very difficult.I can't tell you now how to do this) then reboot in recovery,backup and restore,backup.
This will make a rom just like your system.
If you can wait a few hours,I will upload a thread hot to install CWM for dummies
Don't forget to press the thank button!!!
Thanks for the correction, cvc.
If the program launches and works just fine in the app drawer, but the icon FCs consistently, it's might be due to a faulty file in either the /data/app folder and/or the /data/data folder.
Try deleting the shortcut first, then re-making it from the app drawer. If that doesn't work...
Backup your device with CWM before anything.
I'm assuming that the music app you're talking about came stock on the ROM, which means its in your /system/app folder. Since I don't know the name of that specific music player, look in those folders for a file that matches the name of your music player (all of those start with "com.") in the /data/app and /data/data folders with Root Explorer or Ghost Commander. Delete, then reboot. Remake the icon from the app drawer. If that still FCs, repeat, except that before you reboot, open the .apk file directly from /system/app folder.
thanks i will try that.
also one more problem
. no matter how long i charge the battery never goes more then 80%. is this a know problem.??

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.
you can.t have stock samsung camera in aosp/aokp/cm9/cm10 roms. you can try aosp camera from themes&aps,have similar features like stock samsung camera.
Hello!
I'm interested in getting the Nexus 4 camera software for my S3. My phone is rooted and running a custom ROM but I have not a clue on how to flash firmware because I haven't done that for two years. What do I have to do and where can I find the software for camera and features on other phones like the Note 2, Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus?

There, you will find a lot of MODs

Running stock 4.2 Android Camera (ie: From Nexus 4) on other phones
EDIT: If anyone is seeing this and they are on CM10.2 I really do not know if this works or not. I have not bothered with it as I no longer have time to mess around with my phone or contribute to the CM/Temasek projects. I am using the stock camera app.
Are you saying you want the 4.2 android camera running on your device? It is entirely possible to do this, and from what I am aware of, you do not even need android 4.2.x to make it work! (But I will not endorse that statement!)
I am doing this and I have a fully functioning photosphere running on my S3 with CM10.1 (4.2.1 android).
Some bits of info you need to know. So your phone is rooted, do you have a custom recovery installed on it?
You can find this out by pressing (VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER) while the device is shutdown. The phone will start up in recovery mode and on top left it should show the recovery version installed on it. If it is CMW then you are good to go, there are some other recovery modes too, but CMW seems to be the most popular.
When you know you have a recovery installed then just reboot your device as normal and plug it into your USB to access the files on your phone.
After this you just need to head on over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33516626&postcount=1
Scroll down to "Android 4.2 Camera:
Here is my latest flashable zip" in his first post and download the link. It's about 9mb
Download the zip file and copy it onto your mobile external storage. Leave it as a zip file on the external storage.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode again and go into install from zip/external storage. Pick the 4.2camera_t04.zip and install it. Once the install is done restart your phone.
Go into your settings > apps and you willl find that there are two gallery apps now (this happened to me, might not happen to you). Disable the smaller app. Restart phone again. Go into your apps and try out the stock Camera app. It should now be the 4.2 android camera. On the bottom left you can access the settings to change to Photo Sphere.
I am hoping this woulda helped you out a bit lol, and that this is what you were asking for.

I don't see why you can't run the 4.2 camera on your 4.1.2, though there might be framework differences which would stop it from working properly... So I really don't know
As long as you are able to run the zip file from the recovery software on your phone you should be set to go. What's the harm in trying? How about you try it out and tell us if it worked yourself? If it doesn't work just disable the larger "Gallery" app and use the stock gallery..
I am not a developer (though I have some basic knowledge in Java/C etc) and I do not use the stock odex 4.1.2. I am running on Temasek CM10.1 with the Siyah 1.8.6 kernel. CM10.1 is android 4.2.1. My phone is obviously rooted and has CWM 5.8.4.3 recovery mode.
I also don't know much about multiwindows and don't really see the use of it on a small S3 screen... So I can't help you with that either sorry.
So, basically. I have nothing to offer you besides my own experience with what I have lol.

:S Really? What custom ROM are you running. I am not trying to poach you but I am running Temasek v25 atm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797109) with the 4.2Camera_t04.zip gallery. And the lag is not bad at all for me. It is very slightly laggy (and I notice this so much cos I am a gamer) but it's very very usable still.
I have just did a clean install of Omega ROM v41 (selected the basic one) and I have a few questions:
Would ask this in the actual Omega thread but I cannot post there due to post count.
1. If I want some of the Samsung apps it didn't install like S Memo, can I install them now (without reflashing the whole ROM), if yes then how.
2. The Allshare is installed but does not seem to beam photos, videos, music via wifi to my Samsung TV anymore, how to fix that?
3. Can I get the Samsung version of Voice Search back instead of googles? I think it looks better and also ow to set it up so that you double press the home button for it?
1+3. because you flashed the basic you didn't get these apps.
you can extract the zip file via root explorer or from your pc and go to /indie\Samsung\SMemo\app and the same for the s voice.
anyways you can just re-flash the rom over the existing without any wipe and just choose both features from custom install at aroma.

I've actually just extracted Smemo and Svoice from the Omega ROM zip and installed them separately and they work fine.
Allshare came installed with the basic but it no longer beams stuff to the TV.
The best thing was its integration with the music/video/galley which I really want back.
I'm trying to figure out how to change the default camera app that opens, from stock camera to Google Camera when entering from the stock lockscreen. I am on @muniz_ri's stock Lollipop ROM (non-MDK version).
On Kit Kat, a default app-picker dialogue box would appear and I could choose which camera app I wanted to default to. Apparently, Samsung decided it would be better to force feed us their camera app.
I tried: Opening Contacts> add contact picture> take picture> choosing stock camera, then: Task Manager> clear defaults> clear camera from list...to no avail.
Anyone know of a way to achieve this?
If you want to, you could try this.
Backup first.
Try renaming the Samsung camera apk to.bak , then rename the Google camera to the original Samsung apk name, reboot, and give it a try.
If things blow up, revert renaming, or restore backup if necessary.

I thought about doing that. But I haven't flashed the deodexed version, and the stock camera is odexed, while Google Camera isn't. I'm afraid that might present a bit of an issue. And also, Touchwiz's camera has deep ties into the kernel.
