have you tried clearing data for the camera app?
what do you mean "crashing"?

Is it all camera apps or just the stock ?
I have Google N camera,if you wanna try it till the stock app is working or fixed

I did. I then get access to the camera but the thing is when I try to flip the camera o the front, it ends up using the wide angle lens also a bunch of static is visible. When I try to switch into the wide angle lens properly then the app crashes.

Google Edition Camera App

Google Edition Camera apk
Wondering if anyone was able to get it to work on Shelnutt2's CM10.1. I keep getting force closed on camera, gallery works fine though.
[SOLVED] It wasn't working because of a mod on the media_profiles.xml file that I was using. Once I went to the normal file, it started working.
I can confirm rear and front cameras as well as photosphere work on Lifeless 14 however photos are limited to 8mp.
Worked for me running the last beanstalk... Getting option for 13mb pics

Thanks. Did you just install it as any other app or did you have to take other steps?

Is that the one from Banks gapps?
Edit: I flashed photosphere. Then the new camera app installed; however, it force closes when opening the camera app.
I just tried on Shelnut2 CM 10( build 6.27).
What I did to make it work was (using Titanium Backup) uninstall Gallery. You will get a notice if you want t, uninstall gallery2.apk, hit yes. Then install Google edition camera apk and the camera should work with 13 MP, not reboot necessary (although it is recommended).

Interesting, in Titanium, I see Gallery 1.1.400001 and when I try to un-install, it says "Cannot remove system app, Failed to locate the apk file"
It's weird because with other system apps, I can remove without issue.
Edit: Figured it out. It was because of a mod on the media_profiles.xml file causing it to force close.
This may be a dumb question, but where are you getting photosphere from to flash before installing the new camera app?
Also will it work for stock ROMs as well?
Does this replace the stock camera app?

It should work on stock roms as others have done it. I don't think it replaces the stock camera, instead you may have 2 camera apps (make a backup of the current camera/gallery app before installing).
Have you tried just installing it like a normal app? That should work.
If you need the photosphere addon, you can find it here: Banks Gapps Photosphere
Works nicely on Jellybeer.

its the media profiles that messes it up. i pulled the one out of beanstalk and moved it to the ETC folder and it works now. heres the file!
Works well with AOKP, btw I didn't the flashable zip that was included in that thread and had no issues at all.
I'm not rooted and I got it working fully but for some reason mine only goes to 8mp. Not a big deal for me but still would like the option.

I tried installing the photosphere add on first then the new Google edition apk and still don't get the 13mp picture option in settings. Only as high as 8mp. Any ideas?

Instagram Issue

Is anyone having issues with trying to load pictures from your gallery onto instagram? Where you try and upload it but the picture comes out black.. When I use the camera on the app itself it seems to work fine, but when I upload from gallery it is black. Seems to be like this on all Roms... So I assuming its the update on instagram? Any insight is appreciated.

I heard over in a development thread they said to use the stock camera instead of the "advanced instagram" camera. But after upgrading to 4.3 it went away completely, but I still use stock camera anyways.
I was having the same problem after upgrading to a ROM with JB 4.3. It went away when I updated to the next most recent nightly. Maybe it's a problem with some of the early 4.3 builds? Try upgrading to the newest nightly or downgrading to the most stable 4.2
Its not they all break for some reason. I'm sure its because of the 3.4 kernel. 3rd party camera apps seem to break. Don't know why or how. That's why use the stock camera.

hey guys, i just found an easy work around.
all you got to do is choose your image from the gallery, apply one of the instagram filters, hit next, then go back and choose the normal filter. it should work out well
Here's what fixed it for me:
1) Open Instagram
2) Go to Options
3) Go to Advanced Features
4) Uncheck "Use High-Quality Photo Processing"
Had the same problem with AOKP on Xperia V - changing that setting fixed it

Hmm, most likely a hardware or ROM issue, If not, Camera JB+ from the Play Store is exactly like the stock camera.
I can't promise that this will work for you, but I went into my phone system/app and deleted Camera 2 and Gallery 2 apks and ran the APK I have attached which includes the camera. And my camera is working perfectly now.
I installed that apk but when I go into the settings if forecloses I want to use the the power or volume button as a physical camera button if there is a way for that work

honestly CM team need to rework their camera from the ground app to the UI, (THE ONLY THING I HATE ABOUT CM roms) so either go back to a 4.1.2 touchwiz rom or upgrade to 4.3 also with stock touchwiz
am sure there are camera apps that can replace cm's camera in the Play Store :laugh:

Hi
I have the i9300 with CM11 - 20131206. My pictures are OK, but I want to store the pictures on external SD-Card. The camera on CM 11 cannot do this. I have tried the Camera ICS, because the Camera JB+ is not for free. The ICS should also can store on SD-Card, but I don't have this option in the camera settings. I don't want to buy the JB+, when I'm not sure, that it will work with this option. Can anybody help me, please?
regards
Friedrich
hi. i just installed JB+ camera from 4shared, and it's working very well, but there is still no option to save the pics on sd card.
There is a module for the xposed framework which will save pictures the external sd.

I had a problem with my front facing cam and and tried this method. it fixed the issue, but something else happened - when the main camera detects one face , the app crashes. i am with cm11 nightly 2014/06/20. please suggest a fix

Front facing camera

Since the last update my front facing camera hasn't worked. Is anyone else having this problem? Are there any easy fixes? I don't really want to factory reset my phone if I can avoid it.

All custom ROMs suffer from this issue, only Fire OS can guarantee working in-app camera usage.
Again:
You have to use Fire OS if you want a full working camera.

Best camera app?

Are you guys using any good camera app instead of stock? Long time of saving photos is really annoying
This problem will probably be fixed on Marshmallow. Nevertheless, I still use the stock app.
