Hi there,
I'm having some issues with my front facing camera and recording. I am running CM10.1 (RC5) on my SGH-T999 and for some reason, every THIRD recording from my front facing camera freezes my phone and forces a reboot.
This is very irritating when using apps like Snapchat or the new Instagram video feature. The Instagram feature especially, because it is a "tap and hold to record," and on the third tap/release it forces a reboot on my phone.
My friend seems to have this issue as well on his Verizon S3 (running CM10). However, I've tried to Google a solution for months now but have yet to find a working one. I just recently decided I wanted to fix this problem because the new Instagram feature isn't quite as fun with this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is also my first thread on the subject so if I am missing any vital information that could be helpful, please inform me!
EDIT: I should add that the camera works fine when on stock ROM. However, I've really grown attached to CM10.1 and am hoping I can fix it without reverting.

The problem isnt the camera or the ROM, its the app. The new update for Instagram freeze everyone cameras. But strangely you added Snapchat, this app running fine on CM10.1 4.2.2 for me. Have you tried to uninstall the camera and flash an other one ? Go see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966426

I will try update now!
It is any app involving the camera, even the camera app itself. I can record perfectly fine for the first two recordings, but when I try to save the third recording via any app (Snapchat, Instagram, basic camera app) it forces a reboot.
For example, on first recording I can record a 30 second clip; on the second, I can record a 3 minute clip. However, for the third, no matter how long the duration of the previous recordings, it will always crash.
This is only on the front-facing camera, though.
Again, I'll go ahead and try the link you sent me and come back with updates; thanks!
It's been happening forever. Just like when you go into the language & input area, and do something, press back, force close. Every time.
Honestly, the CM camera is pretty lacking (all of the CM apps are). If it's an issue for you, there are other ones on the market. Oh wait... no there isn't. Plenty of camera apps, no video apps.

Aw man, so there's no fix to this? Would you be able to recommend any other custom ROMs similar to CM that have a working front-facing camera? I know it is a rather juvenile reason to switch ROMs, but all my friends are doing front-faced recordings via Instagram and Snapchat and I'd love to join the fun.

This app did not work for me, it still crashes upon third record, unfortunately.

I don't think it's a juvenile reason at all. Actually, I think it's pretty incredible that it hasn't been fixed yet. The camera is arguably the second most important part of the phone. I'm sure it will be fixed in time, but it's just a reminder that we are nowhere near 10.1 stable yet. They may think so, but I beg to differ. I'm reminded of when 10.1 was brand new. Phone calls wouldn't work half of the time. Some people are still having occasional issues (me included).
Unfortunately for you, most AOSP ROMs are based on the CM code. Looks like it's either live with it, or use a TW ROM.

I used Wicked for a time, but the I think the dev is cheating on us with other devices
Had just commented on this in the cm thread... Damn that sucks. Having the same issues. My main camera can capture pictures in a third party app but as soon as I switch to ffc I crash into a hard reboot. Don't know if that transfers over to skype but man that's a bummer. I know that Google hangouts uses the native cm camera so that works but instagram, fb, and even snapchat sometimes (at least for me) will frag some times.
I missed you aero! Haven't seen you over in cm land but then, as you posted earlier, you got off the nightly train for a while. Miss your knowledge and expertise

The problem occurs on all Rom except those based on TouchWiz.
Every third recording with front facing camera on any apps freezes the phone and forces a reboot.

Oh Shoot. My bad. I keep forgetting it all the time.
Are you using the Social Media apps to do the video Recording ? If yes, can you follow the bellow steps ?
1. Wipe Data for all the social apps you can possibly use to do Video Record.
2. Go to Recovery, wipe Dalvik + Cache Reboot.
3. Do not open any of the social Media app.Use the regular Camera app. Do the 3 video recordings and report back.

I also have this problem... Each time I record 3 times with the front facing camera using the default camera app or any other app (like snapchat), on the third try my phone crashes and reboots... Using GS3 CM10.2
I too am having this problem on CM-based ROMs. Every third recording with the ffc my phone crashes and reboots itself. Bummer it has to do with CM based ROMs.

Hey guys, I can't reply to the actual thread due to the fact that I have less than 10 post. Even though I've been a member since 2007 lol. Anyway just an observation, With the new Android Camera 4.2.zip from androidcentral I can do the photo sphere just fine, front facing camera works just fine, recording video front front camera and rear camera work fine but if I take a picture with rear camera it will snap the photo and lock up. I am running CM10 with the nightly from last night (Nov 2, 2010) is the date on it.

Same here. On mine It was working for a while. Now, I can take one photo and then the camera freezes. Shortly before that happened I started seeing an error saying something about not being able to access the camera when I tried to run it. It was working for a while, now it's not. Tried rebooting a couple times. Tried using Titanium Backup Pro to "Freeze" the other camera/gallery apps. Did not seem to help.
I'm running: Galaxy S3 T999 (T-Mobile) with AOKP Jelly Bean Milestone 1.
Having similar problems on AOKP. It's still buggy so I would just re-flash rom and re-install google gallery to get old camera+gallery back. 4.2 will release to AOSP in about 10 days so just sit tight
Same problem here, it seems that it works for me if i disable the flash-led, but freeze with it or when it's set on "auto" (and a dark place)
PS. I'm running Galaxy S3 with Omega 31 with siyah kernel.

i got same problem on rooted stock
well
a reboot fixes it it appears that flash brakes it, so no flash for now
Workaround for this:
Change camera mode from Auto to any other mode. (Here I chose Active).
If you want Auto mode, make sure you tap screen first to focus the camera.

Same issue for me. I'm running Galaxy S3 with Omega 34 srock kernel. It freezes only when using flash.
This is a known issue. The issue being the camera is designed for 4.2 and thus won't work properly on 4.1. Unfortunately, there's really nothing that can be done (aside from the workarounds already mentioned), believe me I've looked. Until we're on 4.2 (CM10.1, etc) the 4.2 camera just won't be fully functional.
working now
Guys, it works
just found an amazing workaround. when you need to use the flash - long press the shutter button. it will use the flash to focus, only when it shuts down the flash, release the press.
I have no issues using the 4.2 camera. I'm on stock jelly bean. Photosphere works and it doesn't freeze. *shrug* I googled 4.2Camera_t04.zip. works great.

So you can take pictures in "Auto" mode without tapping the screen first and it doesn't crash? If so, you're the first person I've seen that doesn't have that problem.

Hey everyone. I am an Optimus G user, but coming from Sprint's side of the land. I know well enough that we have camera problems (no auto focus) on AOSP roms (camera is great on stock ROMs), but I was wondering if you guys had any issues with camera on your AOSP builds? Maybe some of us could collab with devs here and see what we can do. Our AOSP ROMs would literally be perfect (and a LOT would be officially supported) once the camera issue gets out of the way. I heard that we borrow a lot of custom code from the Nexus 4, which is why our camera is so screwed up, but I also heard the Sprint and International Optimus G's have the same 13mp camera, so here's to hoping for something. Thanks to anybody who takes out the time to look at this and respond!

Official cm works great, no camera issues (But pictures still ****ty though), i think thats the reason of no responses.
On aosp, auto focus stops working when you exit camera app for 1st time. And starting to work if you wipe camera, till next exit.
Probably on exit its sending invalid lense parking settings to camera, causng it to hang. Or something like that

CM 12.1, the camera works inproperly. (in any camera app)
1. In video mode its constantly focusing, wich would be a good thing, but in this case its overfocusing in every second. (youtube.com/watch?v=om1RNxxJtJk)
2. Auto brightness is going crazy, and wont let you to take a single photo. (youtube.com/watch?v=2M2VjsGDAZI)

1. It's likely that you using camera app that forces continuous autofocus. And as far as I get continuous autofocus tries to refocus on each phone shake. So, try to record a video with less handshake and it shoud be fine.
2. Yeah, I experience that bug too.

Hi all
What's everyone using for your camera app?
I find the standard camera OK for stills, but the auto focus is awful, I've not managed to take a picture of anybody's face without blur,picture gets deleted straight away.
Quite disappointed, my Nexus 5 could at least take a picture of someone smiling without blurring.
No issues here using the stock camera ...
Have you tried other apps? If yes, are results better?
Some people were reporting hardware related focus issues. Check different apps, if all have problems focusing it's probably hardware's fault. (but it's also pretty easy to fix).

I have not noticed any other bugs so far in the past 24 hours I've been using the ROM. Make sure you flash all the zips, there are a couple of zips with the ROM that fix things. Also take a moment to give the developer a thank you, its a fully functional oreo on s6 edge +!

I fixed the battery life with kernel auditor and replaced the video/camera with s different one. Then I removed the init.d and reinstalled it to get proper access, also used a different super user then the one provided. I've got xposed running with busybox and amplify. I'm not a dev but I am in college studying computer programming. My take on this ROM is if you know your way around your droid well and can invest some time any bug in it is fixable. The battery could be improved more by using a different kernel or editing the one contained in this ROM to add more governor settings and tweeks. I reached out to the ROM developer on that subject, with any luck they will look into it.

Mine stutters a bit but not too bad. I removed the camera and then flashed the s6 edge camera instead of the s6 and it improved a fair bit. Luckily I do not use Bluetooth audio so in my case only recording videos has a bug still and its not a deal breaker as I walk around with my s6 e+ as my surfing and calls device and my s7 is my music and gaming device. So for me I just record with s7 if I need video while I try to fix it. Once I figure it out I will share the details.

Error logs for camera.
Logs
I'm not an expert but this seems to be a Java runtime error. I have to really get down to the core and look now. The only time I encounter an error with parsing an int is when the syntax is wrong, like trying to parse an invalid type to an int. I'm starting to believe I'm going to need to remove all traces of the camera from the droid 100% and try flashing zips from different models until it works. Or sit down with eclipse and go through line by line and solve the exceptions Java is throwing.

I got HD working for photos and videos but now the video frame freezes like its a photo and only audio records. Argh
OK I got it. If you edit the settings in the native app and drop video recording from 4k to 1080 it improves a lot. And open camera from the play store looks / sounds a bit better for video. I can now record videos in HD and its not choppy or laggy. VoIP is also working. Besides the Bluetooth issue that you mentioned which I can not test to troubleshoot I don't know of any remaining issues. Have you tried removing Bluetooth drives and files reinstalling it?

Bluetooth-audio doesn't work on my SM-G928F. NFC, WiFi-Direct and AndroidBeam are also not working.

Have you tried not removing the NFC and seeing if it boots?
So the pre installed camera works on and off due to runtime errors and conflicts stemming from Exynos camera3. The files are named camera 2 but logcat shows camera 3. I tried cyanogen but I get the error that it can't find media recorder. I'm going to try installing media recorder and seeing if it works with the cyanogen camera. Fingers crossed

I'm hearing camera 2 API is not fully supported on the s6 devices. This could be the issue. However if I am correct that sucks. Because I can not just swap API. I would have to talk to the dev and he or I would have to reduild the ROM using media recorder API if that's possible in Oreo. I assume it would still work despite being depreciated by Google and it's java.
