I do apologize for creating a new post for an older phone. A few months ago I purchased my phone used. I rooted it and installed SS 3.75 with no problem. Tried a few roms and settled on a KitKat rom from cyanogenmod, specifically cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2. It was the best for me for the camera working and for battery life. Using the cm updater I tried a couple of the newer releases, but the camera wouldn't work for any of them, but reflashing Slot 1 to 4.4.2, the camera would work without fail.
The problem started when I decided to flash it to the stock slot. It flashed with no issues, however the camera would always force close on start. I reactivated Slot 1 which has the same rom on it and the camera force closed there as well. Using the Droid Razr Utility, flashed the phone back to stock and rooted it again. After installing the rom back on slot 1, the camera still isn't working. It does, however, work on stock.
I'd wiped dalvik/cache several times since the camera quit working on the custom rom side, but other than that I'm at a loss. Even though the camera does work on the stock side, is it possible it could be a hardware problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

The stock version is JB 4.1.2 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US.
The fact that the camera only worked with one custom rom and stock is why I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.
Thanks for taking your time to help me with this.

Hi welder73, yes I did try some other apps. I kept getting the message that the apps could not connect to the camera for all except Google Camera. That one would open take a couple of pictures and then fc everytime I used it. If I tried to open it again I would get the same message as the other camera apps. The only way to get Google Camera to work again would be to restart the phone. The camera cyanogenmod camera app would still fc everytime I opened.

Hmmmm,strange but since your camera works with stock rom it can't be hardware issue.
Try Snap Camera,I use it for years

Thank you both sd_shadow and welder73 for trying to help. A couple of days ago I screwed something up and couldn't get stock to boot, so I reflashed the stock image again and set up cm 11 on slot 1 again. For whatever reason the camera is now working on slot 1. I don't know why it's working now, but it is. Again thank you both so much.

it is in slot one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028020 followed all the instructions, installed safestrap, verified MD5 of the rom, etc.
if you are on ICS, make sure you are downloading and flashing ICS Kernel only one. if not use the other?
I had to delete and re-create the Rom Slot, then it was ok. I skipped installing GApps for the 1st boot, then went back to do them.
Ok sorry its taken so long for me to reply, turns out i needed the ICS kernel. Wow i feel like an idiot.

You can't go back to the ICS kernel, right? And by installing the leaked VZW OTA JB that puts me permanently on the JB kernel?

i never left the ICS kernal, because of how this rom gets installed (check the thread i linked) i have the stock verizon ICS installed, and cyanogenmod 10.1 (android 4.2 jelly bean) i can freely switch back and forth.
to answer your second question, as far as i know, no one has yet found a fastboot image for the stock ICS or gingerbread, so you are SOL with returning.
I just installed the build for the JB kernel posted today; http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/cm10.1
It seems so smooth! But the camera still FCs, and gallery complains that there's no external storage attached. I should add that after restarting, it took a moment for it so see that I indeed had a sim card installed.
I installed the latest JB kernel release, and the camera is still force closing, citing "Gallery has stopped." So while the camera and gallery don't work, I can still use "QuickPic" to look at gallery itesm like my pictures.. and uh.. porn. (Yes yo do!)
I'm having the same issues. Installed CM10.1 nightly today, with up todate gapps, install went smoothly as did setup. However, now that I'm trying to set up the phone (i.e. restoring apps from titanium) it shows that ext sd is not mounted. Same issues of gallery saying "No external storage available" and camera FCing due to gallery stopping.
I feel theres something I should be doing to my SD but not sure what.
Also, I'm running Jellywiz on another slot, as my daily driver before I can set thsi up, but am worried if i start messing with the SD, it might affect that ROM.
Has anyone found a way to resolve the ext SD issue?
Hello
I have a RAZR XT910.
Well, i tried flashing this rom today:
[ROM][RazrCDMA/GSM][4.1.2][2-4] Jellywiz RLS5 -- Redefining Performance and Stability
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133763&page=4
Followed all steps, installed SafeStrap, etc...
but now, i got two issues:
1) My phone signal is being unstable a lot. I applied GSM's patches, but it dididn't helped much.
2) With this rom, installed on rom slot 2 , my phone reboots every 10 minutes . Yeap, 10 minutes and it reboots...
On my stock slot, i have Verizon JB leak installed and fully-working, But i really would like to give a chance to this rom , and some others i've saw around XDA.
What should i do in that case, since i followed all the steps ?
Thanks in advance.
The reboots can be caused by the ROM itself, or the slot being corrupted. Try erasing and re creating the slot.
The signal issues may be related to radio; are you using JB radio? If so, you may need to change it back to any ICS one...
im gonna try it right now
instead of erasing the slot ill create a new one
thx in advance

Mm I'm not sure, but most ROMs require to use only slot2
You can also try BMM, for me it's better than Safestrap.

I had BMM before.
I was having some trouble with it, then i removed. I find safestrap better/easier to do stuff.
Oh well, the problem continues. Rom still rebooting.
And now, after i applied the gsm patch specified to this rom, i can't use it anymore.
Everytime a process ".com.android.phone"(something like that) crashes.
I'll try again to wipe rom slot 2, clean all cache's / data, and reinstall it.
the verizon leak (official) works without problems on stock slot.
I have had many phones and never had as much trouble than this phone is giving me. Every rom that does work when I flash them don't have any wifi or service. Even when I install gapps it is like it skips the setup and goes straight to the home screen.
I just came from a bionic and didn't think it would be much of a change to make this phone run like my bionic did. I have tried recreating rom slots with fresh installs and wipes on several roms, most of them cm10 based and even liquid smooth wont even install which is the rom I love the most. I have looked for several fixes but nothing seems to be working.
Is there something I am missing? Do you have to unlock the bootloader on this thing or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Wifi usually fixes itself after reboot, but for no-service I dont know.. Are you flashing correct version for your Razr (xt910/xt912), or flashing GSM patch if you have xt912 on GSM network?
Not to be redundant, but how ARE you flashing the ROMs? I've never had issues with connections (so long as I am using the applicable google apps, I have had to revert to a release or two earlier for proper operation in the past). I wouldn't recommend flashing ROMs via RSDlite, if that's the route you're taking. BMM and Safestrap (The latter can be achieved with Matt's Utility, it's what I use) are better options. Using a different partition on the internal storage, and retaining Stock rom. I never had any issues with Avatar (CM10.1 based). I'm about to try out AOKP. Good luck.

Well I have been using safestrap since I used it on my Bionic and I am already familiar with it. The one that is bugging me the most is not being able to flash LiquidSmooth 2.9. (I am on SS 3.53 btw) Also I am using the XT912 and already researched the difference between 910 ROMS before flashing.
When I try to install it the error comes up saying:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Warning: no file_contexts
set_perm: some changes found
E: error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard-ext/Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-spyder.zip
Error flashing zip
I just wonder, if that thing is saying that the zip is meant to be an update for an existing version of LiquidSmooth. But on goo.im there is only 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9.
I've never seen that error (but I've been wanting to try LiquidSmooth, maybe I can duplicate the problem). I know with AOKP, I have to install on romslot2. For whatever reason. Have you tried any other slots besides 1?
EDIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222535
The installation instruction for LiquidSmooth 2.9 say to install on RomSlot3, and only RomSlot3. I'll give it a whirl on 1 and see if the error is duplicated, but it shouldn't effect the install, regardless of the slot #.
http://goo.im/devs/liquidsmooth/spyder/Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-spyder.zip
This is the mirror I used to get the ROM.
Installed on Slot 1 without errors. Flashed gapps, wiped cache, restarted- wouldn't boot.
Wiped and deleted Slot 1
Installed on Slot 3 without errors. Flashed gapps, wiped cache, restarted- Success!
I never could duplicate the error you had, using the JB Liquid Smooth I got from goo.im
Also, for what it's worth, in the "Issues" category on the LS link from above, it said there was an autofix that would correct the wifi connectivity problem. Mine would never fully turn on wifi on first boot. Rebooted, worked perfectly. And the CM style setup went off without a hitch.
I also used goo.im to get mine. I tried all three versions of it but no success; all three got the same error code. I am wondering if the version of safestrap I am using is causing the error.

Just threw out the version 3.5x of SS I was using. Going to try 3.11 and see how it goes. Man, I hope this works, I just came back from using an iPhone for the last two months after letting my brother have my Bionic because they couldn't flash the iPhone on his service provider. I guess if it doesn't work I will be happy having android back nonetheless. Just want something other than motoblur.

So I scrapped 3.5x for 3.11 and the install went perfectly normal. Accidentally installed the wrong gapps package and had a force close assault from hell. Redid it with the right gapps and everything is up and running now. I am so glad to have it running and ready to set up now. Thanks for your help guys!
Back camera hangs most of the time; it works sometimes but most of the time it freezes and FC itself saying "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." Front camera always works fine.
The back camera wont FC itself all the time, sometimes it just stays black (with all the buttons and interface working), and sometimes it stays with a freezed image of what the camera sees (also with the interface ok).
I've tried full wipes, I've flashed different roms, with different kernels; cleaned the camera's cache and data; tried the "Restart Camera" solution/workaround; I've even tried to "tap the camera hard" as some people has suggested.
What I haven't done is flashing stock rom, since I consider it won't be of any help (But if you advise me to, I'll do it). And I haven't tried Roms that are not 4.4.4
I'm currently using AICP Rom (4.4.4)
Sorry for any typo.

Hi, thanks for replying. I've lost count of how many, but as I remember, they all were KK Custom Roms, the ones I remember I've tried are AOKP, CM11, and AICP.
It started since... I don't even remember, it has been so long, I just hadn't been able to try to fix it, untill now.
I flashed the stock JB ROM and it fixed it. So I thought that there were corrupted files and since I have them now, I was going to work again if I flashed the AICP ROM back... but nope, it has the same issue.
I'll flash a JB Custom Rom (Probably CM10.2) to see what happens.
Update: I flashed a JB Custom Rom (Fusion Rom) and the camera is working good so far.
But still not working in KK.
I firstly installed cyangoenmod 12.1 after the camera has stopped working bug i installed cm camera fix from google play but that didn't worked and the camera that sometimes worked had now completely stopped. Now i flashed stock rom and the camera started working but when i flashed cm again it stopped again after sometime then i flashed back to stock but this time it didn't work some times it would say "Unknown error occured" or sometimes the errorcallback error. Now when i flashed MIUI the camera worked but after a snap it stopped and crashed and when i launched it again it sayed camera not responding. Please help me
1. It's probably caused by various hardware. In the worst case you've to go back to any JB-TW based ROM.
2. The fixes mostly work as follows: flash ROM, start camera once and take a photo, return to recovery and flash fix.
3. Try this camera, suitable till LP.

Which fix can you provide the link?
@twitwimp: there's no witchy fix. Take the one, advised&made for the ROM, you use.
@twitwimp: for CM13-based ROMs I found this fix. Worth to try.
