I tried porting several ROMs (from mtkroms.com) from 4.4.2 to 6.0, and succedeed, but I can't get camera to work. It just says "Can't connect to the camera". I edited ported BOOT.IMG (init.rc) with camera settings from my stock ROM, but to no avail.
Also, I tried to copy various camera files from stock ROM's lib and hw folders to port ROM, but nothing. Everything else on the phone works perfectly.
Yup, I tried some other camera apps, but none of them work (app starts but there is no picture, and then app freezes).
The phone has front and back camera, but neither one works.
Phone is Intelkom Meanit Promise MQ512, Chinese MTK6582 clone.
Can anybody give me me any advice? Thank you!

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.
Well, since I don't have the 10 posts needed to actually post in ROM's thread, I will have to make do here and hope this is the proper place.
I'm using Hashcode's amazing JB 4.2.1 ROM on an XT912, and then tried the camera fix posted by Quarx here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35151093&postcount=25
After using EX File Explorer to copy over the files, the camera no longer FCs, but instead errors with a "cannot connect to camera". I've tried rebooting, fixing permissions, clearing cache, clearing the gallery app cache, completely powering down for several minutes, and re-installing the 4.2 Camera. Still left with the same error.
Googling everywhere about this has yielded surprisingly no help. The camera fix seems to be working for most everyone else, so just wondering if there's some easy fix I've overlooked (or if I somehow broke something), or if I will just have to wait for the next sweet ROM update from Hashcode (who is apparently merging the fix in with his ROM base).
If anyone has any suggestions for fixing this type of error, they would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Today I unlocked my bootloader and installed CM on my P768. Because I had problems using fastboot, I used ROM Manager to install the CWM.
Before I used a different ROM, I used the official one that came from the website. In the end it had a lot of problems:
Camera not responding
Call not responding
home button unfunctional
messaging 'says' it is not working
can't be recognized by my computer(recognized a phone, not the internal storage and sd card inside)
Now, I installed a modified CM (link at the bottom). Camera works and some other stuff works. But still, i had problems:
cannot receive calls (can call someone)
home button still doesn't work (only to unlock the device
can't be recognized by my computer(recognized a phone, not the internal storage and sd card inside)
Now, I have two choises:
Fix the 'bugs'
Reinstall the retarded-looking stock ROM that came with the box from LG (opinions!)
Can somebody help please to either:
make the fixes
find a way to reinstall my stock ROM
ASAP PLEASE! :crying: I am in need of fixing this ASAP.
Links
modified CM I used
Method of unlocking bootloader and installing CM
P.S. I am a noob at flashing things
To those who are reading this, the problem was that I restored apps through Titanium Backup including some stock apps. Therefore breaking the call app, messaging, etc.
So those who are in need to get rid of the STOCK ROM:
DO NOT RESTORE STOCK APPS IN CYANOGENMOD. YOU WILL SUFFER FROM MANY THINGS JUST LIKE THE THINGS FROM ABOVE!
Hi, I've installed the Lenovo super cam on my XZU, but it seems like it replaced the stock camera and now it's gone. I already deleted the Lenovo camera, but the stock never showed up.
I've been looking this forums for the stock camera, but seems like they are hundreds of camera apps but the stock one. Any idea how to get it back? Or where to get a copy of the original one? Besides a complete wipe, because I've just format and reinstall all my apps, and I don't want to do it again.
Thanks in advance.

Not the answer you want, but the stock camera is crap. try "a better camera".
You should be able to keep all the installed apps/data by flashing the latest FTF and make sure that the wipe data option is not selected

try Google official camera app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
or
camera zoom fx - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom
Hit THANKS if I helped
Hi, Thanks for your sugestions
I started to looking for ways to get it back, until I remember That I can uninstall updates, and so I did. Uninstalled the camera updates and voila .
Actually the camera isnt That bad, specially when you install the Z2 addons, and use the Cybershot module of Xposed Framework, wich allow to Take photos in full res.
I've used the other cameras, but to Take pictures with pacient, for quick shots of random thingslile wire sets, diagrams and That kind of pics , the stock camera is ok.
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?
