First off I wanna say a HUGE HUGE HUUUUUGE thanks for this. I have spent the last 2 days endlessl looking and testing and trying to find a fix.
Funny thing I landed on this and this was my very last ditch effort at tring to fix this. I had just texted people about if this fix doesn;t work I am reverting back to 4.3 tw stock rooted. To my pleasant surprise, this fix worked for me.

I am currently on Octos 4.4.4 KK rom and have sent the last 2 days exhaustingly and tireingly trying to get a fix for this.

I am so very greatful for whoever made this fix, I thank you a million times over.

I am on a T999L tmobile s3, and for whatever reason this phones camea seems to have issues with aosp style roms. I tried cm11, carbon rom, and Octos rom all 4.4.x KK roms and had the exact same camera issue on all of them.

Again I thank you for ending my tireless search for a fix.

This fix is not compatible with Archidroid because it use different libraries.

Oh, I did not see you tried with the CM fix on AD 3.0.2.
ArchiDroid 3.0.2 now uses OmniROM camera HAL, so you need to use the Omni version of the fix.

Flash the Omni version, go to file manager, delete the odex file for the camera app in /system and reboot the phone. It should work.

Thanks a lot for the info! after the nandroid restore that i did, i havent had any problems yet. Do you think i should flash the zip anyway or should i keep the zip in my external sdcard so to flash it if and when the problem reappears??
Also can you be more specific regarding the path of the above mentioned ''odex file''? (in root/system/cameradata)? in the cameradata folder i have only 2 files : datapattern_front_420sp.yuv and datapattern_420sp.yuv

No, it doesn't work. I tried it myself. Had to do a full wipe and reinstall the ROM to get it working again. Do not try it.

i think cm12 does not need this fix anymore..
use nameless rom and use Google camera, you will get perfectly working camera..

I know it's been a long time since you posted, but what is your advice in this regard (as someone who used Nameless) ?
I've tried other CM12 ROMs (not Nameless yet) and they all have the same issue (can't connect to camera) even with 3rd party apps.

I've tried your fix on CM11 and it solved the issue btw. It's the only thing that convinced me to abandon stock and go for CM11.
Is there any development on this fix for CM12? I guess the fix is still needed for other ROMs even if Nameless got it solved. :good:

Thanks.
