Camera not working - need help diagnosing

So I

1. Unlocked the bootloader
2. Installed firmware 32.0.A.6.152 / R11B via Flashtool (using the built-in xperifirm, and CDA: 1298-5497)
3. rooted using the TWRP method,
4. installed xposed framework using XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk & framework xposed-v75-sdk22-arm64.zip

I've discovered my camera doesn't work properly - it launches, then crashes with "Unfortunately Camera has stopped". Strangely, the "AR Effect" app, which uses the camera, it works fine.

Could it have something to do with having xposed framework installed?
Is there way to reinstall just that camera app?
Any tips for the best way to diagnose?

Thanks

OK, I've tried factory reset (didn't work so I had to wipe from within TWRP), reflashed .152, re-rooted, and the camera is still working. Going to install all the same apps over the weekend, and test again before assuming something in xposed didn't play nicely

I have found this bug is because of flashing the Xposed framework zip file via recovery. Uninstalling the zip via recovery using xposed-uninstaller-20151217-arm64.zip fixes the problem and you get the camera back but at the cost of losing Xposed and vice versa. Anyone got a working zip?

I was using E5823 Android 5.1.1 32.0.A.6.200 with xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip (sdk23 said Android 6.0 only when flashing?) and Xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk

I've got this problem on the latest Marshmallow firmware for the Z5C. The camera FCs every few minutes when I have it open and even when I'm not moving the phone around. So far it continues even without installing xposed but I'm going to try running the phone completely stock with no root to see if rooting is the issue now. I wonder if there is any solution to this on Marshmallow.
