Jelly Bean Camera App Is Broken - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I created a thread for this for SlimBean but I've found the issue is more widespread than that.
I'm on the RootBox 4.0.1 stable for I747 with the kt747 kernel.
The camera app doesn't pause after you take a picture when confirming if you wish to save it.
The preview in most cases is skewed if you rotate it and/or swap cameras.
When I take a picture with Camera JB+ it reboots the phone.
I have cleared everything recommended, reflashed the rom and kernel, and nothing seems to work.
Thanks.

Have you tried a different custom kernel or the stock kernel the ROM comes with?

Yes. The camera Skew issue appears in the stock kernel as well for SlimBean and RootBox.
The no-pause after taking a snap picture appears in every kernel as well.

Have you tried going back to stock to see if its a hardware issue?

If it works at any point, it's not a hardware issue. When you go to recent apps and remove it, it temporarily solves the problem.
It's a known issue with many roms but nobody seems to have taken notice.

Have you posted this in the ROMS q/a thread for a response with the people who also run this ROM?

[CWM] Camera Fixer for cm9, aokp & cm10

Hey guys,
With the recent spring up of roms I thought I would include a camera fixer if you are having problems connecting to the sgs3 camera.
Simply flash the following file in CWM.
Thanks to id10terrordfw for the fix
Nice! Thanks a lot

Camera will still freeze on click to focus after 3 times of auto focusing quickly... When I force close the camera it can be not reconnect to camera until reboot.
This is true after installing this patch as well

So what exactly does this fix... my camera worked the same way before as it did after the fix... Try to push to focus 3 times and it freezes... camera fc's then i can't connect to it till reboot. this is exact scenario as before the fix...
Just curious...

(Unless on task's AOKP) It allows the camera to even function. CM9 and 10 do not work without this at all. You get the "Can't connect to Camera" error upon opening it. Until a permanent fix is found, this at least lets you use the cameras on the GS3 on AOSP derived ROM's. I believe task650 incorporated this into his later builds.

got it... thanks
Maybe this only works for one of the camera types (I heard there are a few) cuz I'm running cm-10-20120718-UNOFFICIAL-d2att rom, and I still get the cannot connect after installing this in CWM. It seemed to install fine...
Anyone else having this problem?
I tried flashing this on the cm9 rom for my lg optimus net which has same problem of camera not connecting. But it was no use! Any suggedtions on how to fix it??

I have updated to the latest release of CM10 (7-20) after confirming that the ROM flash did not have a working camera, and it did not (Could not connect to gallery after first two pics taken) rebooted, cleared data and cached (not that I needed to after a clean flash...but just to rule out any missing variables) got it to work again then started messing with the settings and locked up the camera. Then the next time I opened the camera I got the could not connect error. So I flashed the CWM fix and same issue, after 2-3 pics could not connect error. So I pulled the files and manually placed the in the System>Camera data folder replacing the other files with Root Explorer and set permissions. So far no green screen or problems seen thus far.
edit edit: looks like pressing too much autofocus derped it again aww man .. lol

Camera FC on AOSP and AOKP ROMS

I don't know if it's just my phone or if others are experiencing it too. On every AOSP and AOKP ROM I tried, I always get an FC when i go to camcorder, choose SD 480 video quality and switch back to the camera. The message i encounter is "Unfortunately, gallery has stopped."
Happens to others as well. I suggest using another gallery.apk and replacing it. I have done this before myself a few times and it's works. Also on some roms when taking pictures the phone will just cut off if the battery is low. Some work good and some don't.

Thank you! Do you know where I could find another gallery.apk?
Change kernel or replace with older versions.

I've already tried changing kernels. This problem was persistent in cm10 stable, cm10.1 m3, and also on aokp build 6 and whitehawk's 4/27 nightly and on liquid smooth rc7.

[Q] Screen After Flashing

Hello,
I'm having a weird issue when I flash a new rom to my phone. After I wipe my phone and flash the rom the colors on my screen change slightly, it looks like it gets a little more orange added to the colors. Does anybody know why dos this happen and what I can do to fix it?
Thank You
Does it happen when you flash other roms or just that specific rom?
I am curious if its a hardware thing or software. Can you please post a picture of it along with a screenshot so we can see what you are talking about.

I'm thinking it's a software thing because when I go to recovery mode everything looks normal. I took a few screenshots but when I transfer them to my computer they look normal.
Bump....
Mine did that for a while on aosp Roms with the packaged kernel I found kt's kernel works best for me I no longer get that. It also happened the most after enabling nav buttons.

Haven't touched CM10.1 nightly ROMs for a while. But the LED Notification stopped working, stayed on an older version of CM10.1 nightly.
Gonna try that when I get home. Also PA made it to this device. Also the Jedi mind trick Roms. So many options. Wow head's spinning.
Leaning towards CM10.1 though.
No signal, can't play video
I was using CM10.0. Updated CM10.1 with corresponding gapp.
-Can't register on cellular network anymore. Can't set AWS frequency in the factory testing mode.
-All of my Video apps start legging, play videos for a little while and quit after about a minute, say video format not supported. Even though the video is mp4 format and it was playing it before quitting.
How should fix it? Flash kernel? Which kernel should I use?

I tried to resist flashing this ROM but had to give in to temptation. Said to myself no more flashing when I got into boot issues with JMTJB6. Odin flashed stock and left it unrooted! Was happy...but then temptation. Happy I did it, rock solid, butter smooth, doesn't seem to have any lag.

Thanks that did the trick. I was going mad at why the LED notifications stopped working.
Also still on the non-touch recovery, 5.0.26 the one that needs the Darkmod scripts to wipe cache and do full installs.
Also had to turn sensor on/off before it actually worked. Read that from another post from someone that helped me.
Thanks again dude.

Flash video was not smooth for me. Even with latest Adobe update. But no MHL to TV support was the deal killer. Other than that it was fine.

Are you using a custom kernel? And did you wait the 10 minutes after the flash?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
No custom kernel. Flashed it days ago...reboot occurred today...Yes I did wait the 10 minutes after initial flash.
Is this a known problem? Would a custom kernel like uber kernel be more stable? I really like this ROM so far as is.

BLURRY camera?

I can't take pictures using the normal back camera or else it's blurry.
Auto-focus is on (macro off)...anti-shake is either on/off and it doesn't matter.
I can't figure it out.
Front camera works and isn't blurry but the back camera sucks!
I wipe the back camera with cloth and all that and it still is blurry...idk what to do!
