hi sir. sorry forgot to include. i am just using stock rom. i tried installing that cyanogen app, but cant figure out on how to install a custom ROM, phone not supported,
So if you're on stock the cyanogen camera won't do the trick. I know it sounds redundant but have you restarted your phone or downloading a 3rd party camera?

That's unfortunate man. When all else fails try a factory reset.

I am having this problem for a while now...my camera doesn't work.when i press the icon, camera application launches with the camera buttons and then with the small preview icon on the right side being black.The screen displays what is in front of the camera but the buttons are totally not functioning. If I wait for it, it then says "camera application not responding" then gives me the option to wait or force close.
-rebooting doesn't help
-clearing data doesn't help
-using another camera application (same result)
-The best solution that I came up with is reflashing ROM (wiping everything)
-if that doesnt work, reformatting SD card
sometimes it works..sometimes not
when fixed, it just runs for a couple of weeks then afterwards, the same thing happens again and I am getting tired of it.
So I would like to seek out your help now enlightened members of xda...please help me
PS..this happens on any kind of rom (oxygen and currently LEWA OS)
Anyone out there who can help me? anyone who experiences the same issues?

Which ROM!?

The camera work on the official firmware? (V20E) When did you first notice this problem?
Typically, problems arise with the camera when changing kernel ... Try to flash the kernel from Franko

After Flashing Oxygen V2.6, this problem started after several days...was able to resolve thru reflashing rom wiping everything but after several days reoccured.
I am already using LEWAOS M7 and it happened to me twice now.

Hi, I searched for a lighter rom and found Redemption 4 on this forum and I love it!
however I now realized I do use the FM radio and it is no longer there --
searched around I I thought I could just install some FMradio.apk , but for some reason install fails (and I can install other apps)
could anybody help me out on this ?
I never really tweaked my android phone untill 2 days ago

hmmm...
I tried already a few of them and it's quite strange that installation fails... do fm radio applications (non-streaming) require any extra things beyond the apk file??
any help please? One of the few apps on google play says it only works with motorloa, so I guess there is a dependency on the model/brrand thus not just any radio app will work. And why should not work with the stock one? (which is just fine for me)
If anybody knows of an fm radio that works with galaxy ace s5830i please let me know!

Then flash to stock rom, backup fmradio.apk with titanium backup, flash to your custom rom and restore fmradio.apk

Here is the stock FMRadio.apk.
Flash it with Clockworkmod or RZ.
"earphones not connected"
mine says the earphones are not connected.. i uninstalled and re-installed the radio app but still no joy. the e/phones work fine on other phones/audio equipment though.. i even tried the supplied e/phones from the box.. nothing.. :/
so wondering what it could be..

I'm guessing this is cos you're on Jelly Blast, there's several solutions install Rafael baugis kernel, or install soundabout app (in settings find the one that says let phone decide and check it) download from Google play, these will fix your problem

Stock FM Radio doesnot work with CM 7.2 since there are no Samsung frameworks in CM versions. You can use any third party apps from Google Play. Hope I Helped

I am the proud owner of a SGS3
But I'm not the biggest fan of touchwiz and I love everything about 4.2!
So like many others, I flash a 4.2 custom ROM. AOKP 4.2 build 2, to be exact.
After flashing, I loved it. Everything about it was just perfect. It was fast, light, easy to use, and FAST! But then I go to take a picture. And boom.
"Can't Connect to Camera"
I had no idea what to do, so I did the first thing that comes to mind. reboot. But sadly, this solved nothing. So of course I re-flash my touchwiz ROM to see if the ROM was the problem. And the Touchwiz camera worked perfectly. Later on when I had time, I tested it out again, and had the same problem. So I downloaded a camera app, and same thing. I even flashed a different Camera.zip for God's sake! I've searched for the past week for fixes and every one I tried just failed! So now I'm really done with Touchwiz and want to customize the look and feel of my phone (which is one of the reasons I like AOKP!)
It seems that my camera only works on Touchwiz ROMs! :crying:
I also tried another ROM this time running 4.1.2 thinking maybe it was just a bug in 4.2! But sadly, the same error message.
I am open to ANY ideas right now and would be very thankful for some replys.
I NEED TO GET OFF OF TOUCHWIZ AND BACK TO 4.2!
Thank you as always!
EDIT: So I think I figured out the problem. I was flashing a 4.2 camera .zip file and i guess it was messing up the permissions. So I disabled it. Now it is working perfectly so far. Yesterday i switched over to a 4.1.2 ROM hoping it would fix it and so then i flashed this 4.2 camera and then after about a day of use, it messed up the permissions.
So to fix it if anyone is have that problem, disable the camera app you flashed, reboot into recovery, ADVANCED - FIX PERMISSIONS
all done.

If I uninstall gallery apk which is including camera aaplication, how I will make a shoot ?
hye
actually,what application did you dissable?from the touchwiz or the custom rom? :laugh:
well, it works for me, thanks a lot dude.
This is a file permissions problem, between the camera and the gallery apps. It is fixable, I had the ability to force a 'fix permissions on boot' in init.d, but are various ways to do it.

Same question
Hello Guys.
So it all started with me, flashing my first custom rom, the SamsungS4CHD something like that..
It worked fine.. tho it did have a few bugs. At first it didn't recognize my SIM Card.
Secondly, and MAINLY, i noticed that the camera was dark greenish.. and the moment i pressed snap.
Boom, Hanged. And i had to force close it, and then when I restarted, I got the error- Can't Connect to Camera.
No third party apps did the trick, so I flashed the TurboHD Rom and it worked flawlessly.
Then I wanted to try Fly116, and I did, and I was greeted with the same problem.
It struck me that the s4 rom and the fly116 both had 13 mp cameras while the turbohd has an 8mp camera.
Please help me out, this bug is killing me :/
I've searched and searched with no luck..
Reply soon guys..

Wait, do u mean I should replace these 2 files of Fly116 rom, with another rom by extracting, replacing, rezipping,?
And which rom should be on the phone when I change? the problem one, or the one im using.?
And thanks for replying..!
I get this error "Can't connect to camera'
I tried using a 3rd party camera from play store, but still when I try to film, it freezes and 2 sec later it closes. when opening it, error.
I read somewhere that bootloader must be working good with rom? I don't wan't to brick my phone with messing around with odin.
Factory reset doesn't work, I always do a clean install on carbon rom update.
PS: I am using Dalvik runtime, maybe fix on ART?
I don't know how to fix, used rom & kernel in my signature.
same problem with art...
already 40 views and no answer?

if it works properly in ROM provided Camera App ??
if it works then try again installing app again..
if not then.. try different 4.4.2 ROM.. or ask in OP's thread if all users have this problem..??
if only you are having this problem then.. start from the scratch again.. and install ROM again by following steps provided in OP's post..
if still didn't work try in any other ROM or stock ROM..

If your ROM is based on CM, it's the ROM issue. Know for a loooooooooong time.

Billions of fixes have been implemented, but apparently non of them work. If u get lucky, it'll work. So I'll recommend reflashing till u get it to work.
