So I used to be able to use the front facing camera no problem for video chats. There used to also be a button to swap back and forth from front to back cameras. Now the button is gone and I'm stuck on the back camera. Any suggestions? Reflash the Talk app?
What ROM are you running?
evodeck...but it fixed itself. No idea what the problem was after searching all day on the forums today. I was just about to reflash some different modded versions too.
I installed an APK for Gtalk 1.3 video on my stock rooted EVO 4G (android 2.3.3 build 4.24.651.1) and it caused the stock camera app to close when switching to front facing camera. I have tried everything from clearing data for camera app, clearing dalvik cache and reflashing gtalk video apk, restoring stock gtalk with Titanium backup, Full factory reset (still rooted), and finally flashing stock RUU 4.53.651.1 and then running RUU 4.54.651.1 .exe. Even after full RUU reset with no apps installed the camera app still closes upon attempting to switch to FFC. Could it be that somehow Gtalk 1.3 video actually killed the camera hardware? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

hi there
After the update to 4.2 the video function of my camera stopped working. And the pictures i take have a touch of green and thery are blurred/cloudy.
I tried to flash it back to 4.1.2 and to 4.0.4 (with the official factory image) but still the camera didn`t work.
I unsinstalled Gallery.apk with Titanium Backup/root, and installed in manuel back on.
Still the same problems,
Could you help me please to fix my Camera app.
Thank you,
and is there an system check app, to find the problem?
thank you

I was curious about testing out CM 11, so I backed up CM 10.2 stable and updated, flashed the new gapps, etc. I didn't like CM 11, so I restored my backup. Now, whenever I try to take a picture with the front facing camera, the app (whether it be a third party, or the stock camera) crashes, and I have to restart my phone to be able to access the camera. The camera was fine just before updating. I have tried replacing the stock gallery app with a fresh apk, and clearing the cache. Is there anything short of a factory reset that will fix this issue? Is there some sort of data in the root directory that remained from the update to CM11?
I believe I fixed the issue by restoring an older backup, and my app data through Titanium.
Hello,
I am currently having issues with all of my ROM updates. My camera will randomly be unable to connect, my gallery will randomly not play some of my videos/close, and i can't ever record a video from my front camera on snapchat. I have tried fixing permissions, trying both AOKP and TW based ROMS, did clean wipes each time before installing. Not sure what else I can do....anybody have any ideas? Please help, this is so very annoying and is sorta making me regret rooting my phone....maybe I have to unroot and re-root?

If you did FULL wipes between the installs of different roms......then yes...I would Odin back to stock and start over.
This is the error I get when using any camera with the exception of the front camera when using, for example the Facebook Messenger camera. I have flash stock KDZ and the problem still persists. I have tried factory reset and clearing the cache and nothing. So now that I have tried everything I must ask for help.
I accepted the latest OTA update for lineage. After the reboot my camera app shows a black screen for the main camera and crashes after a few seconds.
What I've tried:
Messing with the camera app, permissions etc.
Trying other camera apps, same problem.
Rebooting.
Since I wanted to see what grapheneOS was like I tried installing that.
Same problem....?
Okay so then I thought they might be sharing the same camera driver. So I installed...
The latest Google factory image.
Then I tried reverting to Android 11 (everything was 12 before)
Main camera is still dead. Selfie camera works.
