Have you tried installing a different rom and or a stock rom to see if the problem persists?

I flashed just about every rom under the original android development section, all still with the same camera error. After no luck i decided to odin back to stock, an the camera now works. I've searched high an low an tried all the cm/aosp camera fix's i could find an no luck

Interesting. Very weird it works on stock but not on aosp. Now that you have odined back to stock have you tried to re flash a aosp rom and check the camera? What stock rom are you odin-ing?

Are you also flashing any other mods or custom kernels?

I would try cm11 with just gapps installed and see what happens.

I doubt it's a hardware issue if it works on stock. Do you use any third party camera apps?

Sorry for lots of questions just trying to narrow down the problem.

No noo bye all means ask away. I odin to the stock 4.4.2 ND8 tar. After i flashed each rom an gapps an the phone booted up i skipped the normal setup, gmail an such, an tried the camera an it was a no go. So no im not usein any third party cameras. The only rom i didnt flash was the cm11. I came from a nexus 4 an loved the liquidsmooth roms so that was my first choice. I have not re rooted an flashed a recovery as i was pretty madd it didnt work the first time around. I really appreciate ur help. Im open for suggestions

Ill be sure an try it out. One question for ya.. can u tell me the best method of rooting the S3? I used the android tool kit.. i was thinkng mayb thats the reason for the camera issue. I was considering useing towelroot then flashing TWRP recovery then flashing a rom.. ur opinion?

well there's the TowelRoot option that would require you to download SuperSU and BusyBox from the playstore then there's using Odin to flash any Custom Recover for the D2lte then in that recovery flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip....then the most recommended is using Odin to flash the latest Philz Recovery for the D2lte which has an option to root the current rom that your on, under Philz settings

Ive never used Philz Recovery.. is it the same idea as TWRP an Clockwork recoveries? Thanks for ur help i appreciate it

well it's a touch based Clockwork mod recovery and you can change the colors of all the letters that are visible and there's more options in there to do cool stuff and 2 different factory resets

did you check if the MD5 sum matched? the numbers on the download page and the numbers shown on Philz right before you flash anything...

yes an all matches up. Im starting to think its my device. i was sent a refurb from sprint an im wondering if the previous owner messed with it...

so i gave wicked x a shot an its way kool and the camera works. still clueless as to why aosp roms camera wont work. Let the fun begin lol. thanks for the help guys i appreciate it

I got the same problem with my GS3. Tried several different roms and different builds of those roms that people reported having no problems with and still no fix.
Going to try Wicked X see what happens.

 

[ice711]

Ive been flashin roms for about 4years. I love aosp but then i had to try wicked X. Its absolutley amazeing. Ive had no reboots, no freezin, awesome battery life, and best of all... EVERY feature on the rom an of the phone works flawless!!! Try it ull be amazed lol

 

[GJOKER]

camera works fine on Wicked x. Don't like the rom though. So I'm switching back to 2.37 LS it worked fine on my previous device

 

[ice711]

I used LS 3.2 on my previous phone, galaxy nexus 4. For some reason i cant get the camera to work on my s3 on LS

Same here, I never ran stock rom on the phone. First thing I did was to root and flash the room.
I'm so use to LS since I ran it pretty much entire time for past 2 years. Very disappointed with camera issues in v3.0. Hope they get it taken care of soon.
