There are also files on /sdcard which might affect your camera. Things like thumbnails, cache etc. Try to find and eradicate those.

I thought cyanogenmod had problems with the camera, Try flashing another ICS rom and see if it FC's

the ics rom i'm using isnt cyanogenmod btw.


no more force close but a black view instead

checkdisk your SDCard. then copy to PC and then delete every JPEG and PNG picture on SDCard.

the black screen happened before there was a sd card in the phone and without any pictures being taken and with and without a sim card...

I had this same issue before. Have you tried returning to stock to see if it happens.
