Liquidsmooth + camera issue - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys,
I recently moved to the gs3 and jelly bean so this may be a known solution but for the life of me I can't find it. I've tried liquid 2.1 and 2.2 both with multiple gapps and still have the problem on clean wipes. Phone itself is only a day old.
When I start my camera it lags for a minute showing no picture then crashes, saying gallery has stopped. The funny thing is it actually WORKED before I updated my google apps through play? Worked fine on original rom also. This is driving me nuts as it is literally my only problem and I need my camera, but love this rom.
Thanks!
EDIT: BTW. Gallery starts fine on its own and I've tried the camera32_patched_v2.zip fix I found on another site and no luck(just have two camera icons and both do same thing)

Clear data on the gallery app (settings/ manage applications, or something along those lines) go to all apps and find gallery, clear data on it and try to use the camera again..

Are you downloading your GAPPS from goo.im? If so, are they the 4.2.2 version?

Yes and yes. I've tried gapps-jb20121011 and 20130301, both on liquid 2.1 and 2.2. Clean wiped each time. Same thing with camera always. Grey screen when it starts and then shortly after opening it crashes with gallery error.

Did factory reset first from settings(not sure if you should do this from inside a rom but oh well) and then rebooted into recovery. Tried rewiping and reinstalling again... Cleared cache, divak. used liquid 2.2 and jb2012011 which goo.im says is correct, fixed permissions. Got constant com.google errors and couldn't run initial setup had to put 20130301 just to get to setup and have phone back running again. Camera still broke(this time I tried before any updates again and it didn't even work then). What am I doing wrong?

Not sure if this will help, but I suggest: Do factory reset from custom recovery, wipe cache and dalvik. Then, install the latest M Snapshot of CyanogenMod found here. Then flash the latest 4.2.2 GAPPS from here. Reboot into system, try out the camera and check if it works. If it works on CM, do factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik then install Liquid Smooth. Good luck!

Update... I've been busy and have not had time to redo the phone again today, and I'm already 4 /0 folders deep(wtf 4.2?).
Here is the thing.. the camera started working out of the blue. I had the phone up for about 4-5 hours and randomly opened camera(which i keep doing) and it finally worked! I was able to take pics. Then my battery died... and now the camera is borked again after restarting. This is driving me insane. Any idea what is going on?

What I recommend doing is having phone charged to at least 70%, using Titanium Backup to restore your apps, and follow these instructions to the dot. This is what I did while using TWRP 2.5.
1) redownload LS v2.2 and gapps 20130301
2) backup all apps to TB
3) boot into TWRP
4) select 'Wipe' then 'Advanced Wipe'
5) wipe dalvik cache, system, data, cache
6) flash ROM then gapps
7) go back to 'Advanced Wipe' and wipe cache and dalvik cache again ONLY
8) reboot and run through setup wizard
9) immediately go into Play Store and cancel all installing apps.
10) install TB and restore user apps from there
11) reboot
now test out the camera

Is there a zip for the old camera to add it back? I just need a working camera don't care which it is.

Have you tried this one? The gallery seems to work. Maybe it will for you too

Does it give you an error, or just close out, FC, any thing? Sounds like an issue that may need some other type of edits. Oh and update your recovery, that's why you have multiple /0 folders....

Didn't work same issue
Tried some of the fixes from that thread too and nothing...
My question now is, I've seen someone saying turning on geotagging fixed the issue. I always turned it off when camera starts the first time, is there some way to turn it back on without redoing rom? Installing that other cam didn't even give me the option again and can't find it in settings.

Still can't get this camera working. Have not even been able to get it to work at all for 2 days now. Someone has to have an idea?

Solution - switch roms. You aren't stuck with roms. Try the aokp port. It's good. So is cm.

I HAVE switched to cm, I'm running it right now. Same exact issue. Works once in a blue moon but usually gallery has stopped and force close of camera. Worked on stock, this is a brand new replacement I got last week.

Cyanogen Mod - Camera just started Force Closing...help?

I've used Cyanogen Mod for quite a while without issue. Then, last week my camera started force closing. So far as I knowing didn't change any settings or install an app that would mess with it. Haven't updated radios, etc...it just stopped. I've cleared the cache in apps settings, there is space on the card.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
clear cache and dalvik from recovery, and reboot. If that doesnt work, you will probably have to reflash the rom.

Shouldn't lose anything, as you are just clearing cache files. However, it can never hurt to do a backup first, only takes a couple minutes.
Ugh. I did a full wipe and upgraded to 7.1 (was on 7.0.2)...Camera is still FC'ing...again, it works with other apps (Vignette, Goggles) but not the stock camera. It worked just fine until two weeks ago...and then, nothing. No clue why. :/
Well, now it works...I did one more wipe and it just started working. Thanks!

First thing you always do if any app is fc is to go into applications and clear data on it ...you will have to enter all settings again

It work before it was rooted i also see that my messaging is doing the same thing im able to open email and messaging but as soon as i go to send something it FC's and email sometimes won't even open.
cwm
when you installed calk do you wipe data , cache , dalvik , etc ....this can happen when you dont wipe .... if so go into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik reboot ...see if it works if not then try to install rom again or go to your backup
I have the exact same issue. Just started for the first time yesterday.
I cleared my email app data in settings and now I cant even open up the app. Once I launch it the error pops up and then forces close. I have just tried to reflash the rom (without a wipe) and that didn't even work.
I am also on Calkulin's rom.
I'm pretty much out of ideas. I guess next step is to do a full wipe and flash a new rom, but I'd rather not do that yet.
I too have the email FC and messaging FC just started to happen this week

Were you able to solve the problem ? Or did you have to do a full wipe ?
I decided to try a full wipe and reflash seems to have worked for me
Fyi for everyone... When having multiple fc's issues usually mean a bad flash of a rom. Either the rom wasnt flashed correctly, or its a bad download of the rom... Downloading the rom to your pc (NOT YOUR PHONE) is the safest way to ensure a good download of a rom (and even these downloads are sometimes bad). A telltale sign of this is when you are the one percenter from the thread having the issues... Hope new people read this and realize that reading the roms install instructions and following them is important and making sure your download is a good download are necessary steps in flashing happiness...
There isn't anything wrong with my download or how I flashed the rom. I always perform a checksum before I install any rom. I was on the rom with no problems for several weeks before the issue came out of no where.
I did have to do a full wipe and reflash of the same rom. Things are working fine again. I took a backup of the email app and will restore if the issues comes up again.

Talk, Gallery, and Camera are NOT WORKING

When I try to open Talk, it says "Unfortunately, Talk has stopped."
When I open Gallery, it's fine. When I hit the camera button from within the gallery, it says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."
When I try to open the Camera through the Camera shortcut, it says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."
I think this happened after I flashed NexusHD 4.1, Talk stopped working right after I flashed it (I didn't care because I don't use it), I didn't notice the camera/gallery problem until today (a day or two later). I flashed 4.3 today hoping it would fix i t, it didn't.
Then I tried flashing CM10 Nightly, no luck. Then tried flashing an odexed rooted stock jb rom, still have the same problem. I have tried installig a different camera app, didn't work. I'm now on a factory image.
I did recently open up the phone to fix the power button, I'm not sure if I didn't reconnect something properly to cause the camera to stop working, but this shouldn't cause Talk to stop working right?
If anyone can help me out here that would be great!
Edit: The apps crash on startup.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but camera and gallery app shouldn't matter with the gapps, should it?
I always use the gapps on the ROM thread. And it still has problems even on stock ROMs so it is definitely not gApps. I have tried a rooted OTA ROM and I'm now on a rooted factory image, still not working.
If you can't find any solution and if you're willing to start everything over, do a SuperWipe.
Flash SuperWipe.zip erases EVERYTHING. That includes sdcard folder. This means that you can start over just by flashing this and then flashing ROM of your choice.
Hope that helps
Anybody use Talk? Does it try to use the camera on first start up? I don't have a picture on Google I believe. If Talk is trying to access the camera then maybe I did screw up when I opened it up.
Do you have a link?

Yes gallery and camera is in fact part of gapps I believe. Additionally Google merged the two gallery and camera into a single gallery2.apk. so you definitely need to flash gapps.

I don't follow. According on your first post you have flashed a custom rom. A "rooted odexed Rom" is not stock. Flash the official factory images to return to stock.

Well I'm on a rooted factory image now, I'm pretty sure the only thing different about it is that it is rooted, and I think deodexed. if you can link me to a untouched factory image that would be great. at this point I doubt itwould make a difference but there's not much else I can do besides opening the phone, which I can't do for another 4 days at least.

Any 4.2.2 ROM makes my camera crash

Hello,
I'm sorry if this is a repost of any sort . I am currently running a 4.1.2 rom and as it turns out any 4.1.2 rom that I run will have a functioning camera for my phone. However whenever I try to flash any 4.2 .2 rom on my phone the camera ceases to run correctly. I'm flashing the rom with clockworkmod touch and I have also tried flashing a camera fix I found on xda. I have even tried using third party camera apps, but those don't work either. Can anyone try to point me in the right direction or even try to help me troubleshoot this thing??
Thanks in advance

i'll begin with the question of what did you wipe before you flashed 4.2.2 and what ROM/release have you tried flashing?
Flash to factory stock and if ur camera still doesn't work it must logically be a hardware issue. Please guys correct me if I'm wrong

I had just updated cwm to the latest touch version about a month ago. After that I was still on stock TW 4.1.1. Then, I tried flashing a 4.2.2 jellybam v7.6 and the camera stopped working so I flashed back to stock and the camera worked fine. I then tried flashing to the latest realease of CM 10.1 nightly
about 3 weeks ago but the camera didnt work so I flashed to 4.1.2 CSROM v1.4 then 1.5 and the camera worked fine. So I then tried CM10.0 4.1.2 and the camera still worked so last night I flashed to the latest CM nightly and the camera stopped working. Any thoughts?

I did and it still works. So it can't be a hardware issue. It has to do with how my phone flashes the software because I haven't seen anyone else having the same issues with the ROMS that I have been flashing.

if the camera stopped working simply from updating your current ROM to the latest release than a wipe and reflash could possibly have ironed out this issue. this is assuming you dirty flashed the update. we all do that, but in the event things dont funtion properly afterwards, a wipe is required.

Well before I flashed any rom I always wiped all user data, I wiped the cache and dalvik cache and in some cases I even formatted the system in advanced settings. In every case the camera never worked.

i would back everything up. you have a working nandroid to fall back on?
then i would fully wipe the device and start over. you seem to be having problems with 4.2.2, not specifically aosp. it appears aosp and touchwiz 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are working for you. correct? when transitioning android versions, its basically required to wipe everything in order to avoid issues. make sure you have the latest gapps for 4.2.2. that may be your problem right there.
in the event you choose to wipe and reflash a 4.2.2 rom,
- backup your files
- have a nandroid, the rom you want and gapps on a micro sd card.
- boot into recovery
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- format /system
- format /data + media
- flash rom from external sd card
- flash gapps from external sd card
- reboot and let your phone sit a few minutes then reboot again. check it out.
you wont get any ROM support from devs on your issues until you come from a complete wipe. a hassle to set everything up again but it will likely be your fix. if not, we can go a different direction.
Alright I'll try this now. I will keep you updated

EDIT: The problem described in the post#11 has always been the case
i would do 1 of 2 things: flash this 4.2 camera zip in recovery and see if that camera and gallery work or flash a different 4.2.2 ROM like tasks. this will help determine if its just cm10.1 thats giving you grief.
if you download and flash the 4.2 camera, just wipe cache, dalvik and flash the zip. in the event you get a freeze up when taking a picture with auto-focus, you have to set the scene to "Action" mode.

i would do 1 of 2 things: flash this 4.2 camera zip in recovery and see if that camera and gallery work or flash a different 4.2.2 ROM like tasks. this will help determine if its just cm10.1 thats giving you grief.
if you download and flash the 4.2 camera, just wipe cache, dalvik and flash the zip. in the event you get a freeze up when taking a picture with auto-focus, you have to set the scene to "Action" mode.

Should I remove Gallery4.apk and Gallery2.apk from /system/app?

You can use a file Explorer to move those 2 to a different folder so that you can move them back if need be

Alright so I ended moving the gallery, then flashing the new camera app in CWM then wiped the cache and dalvik. No luck, so I tried restarting my phone, fixing permissions, and nothing worked. I then full wiped my phone and flashed Vanilla Rootbox, tested camera and it didnt work. It still said "Camera Error- Can't connect to camera" . . I flashed the camera zip provided followed by a cache and dalvik wipe but I got the same message. Following the above steps I did the exact same thing with AOKP and the exact same thing happened.
Is it possible that my phone just can't support 4.2.2?

Is it possible that an outdated version of Odin could be the problem?

[Q] Phone was fine, ran out of battery, now "System Ui Has stopped" every few seconds
Hey,
Note 2 running PACMAN rom, android 4.3.
I woke up and checked it at 8am, no problems at all. Went to use it at 1pm and it had run out of battery. I plugged it into my computer to charge it, turned it on and it said "System UI has stopped. Blame Tyler" - and continues to do this every time you press OK, with about a 3 second gap in between each one.
I restart my phone quite regularly and I don't think I've installed anything that could be causing this. I've disabled XPosed but same problem. Any other ideas? Otherwise I'll have to just wipe it and start again, perhaps with CM. I need a working phone for tomorrow though!
Cheers
Maybe a silly question, but have you wiped cache and dalvik cache from recovery? If not try it.

This seems quite sinisiter - thanks for the suggestion but it hasn't worked, and it's unearthed something more concerning about the state of my phone (the TWRP messages, see below). Can't believe I didn't think to do that myself though! (I haven't messed around with ROMs for quite a while so am out of practice, I've had this one for a few months).
Delvik cache completed, then said something like "updating partition details. E: Error opening '/data/system/...." I/O Error" and various APKs - one of which was system UI. Wiping the cache again told me done, but loads of errors of similar APKs (This time in /data/data/ though). This sounds incredibly ominous though and I've never seen that error before in any of the wipes or anything I've done.
Restarted it but the system UI error messages persist. I want to wipe and install a fresh ROM but I'm worried I'm going to be left with a totally useless phone if things won't wipe or flash properly. Any ideas would be great.
If anything goes wrong u still have the option to flash a new rom through odin.

I'm currently downloading a rom to flash with odin. I tried to do a nandroid backup but the same I/O errors appeared. I have no idea what could have caused this as the phone was running absolutely fine yesterday!
try to fix permissions in recovery. On HD2 it helped in 90% of the cases

Yup. This might be the solution.
Helped me 90% of the times. Go to TWRP -> Advanced -> Fix Permissions
