- Start date
Working for Jiayu G4T (4.2.1) which had the same problem. Many thanks!
The app is executing the following shell command:
Code:
kill -9 `pidof mediaserver`Thanks a lot! Camera on SGS3 with CM11 works! Would be great if this could be somehow combined: If camera is in hang mode, execute script and start cam otherwhise only start cam...
It's funny how some of the same problems keep showing up time after time. I started experiencing the camera freeze on my favorite ROM, and so I dug this thread up and--viola!--it works like a charm! Thanks for sharing this!

Can you tell me how you managed to make it work? Mine still doesn't.
On CM11 I was using Camera (CMFix) for Cyanogenmod from Google Play and it was working perfectly (LINK - delete spaces, cause I don't have 10 posts yet: https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.billgbennett.camerafix) Just follow the steps in app info:
1. Install this app.
2. Allow apps from unknown sources in your phones Settings>Security menu.
3. Download and install Restart Camera from IT WAS A LINK TO DOWNLOAD FILE FROM THIS TOPIC.
4. To use this app, just open it, but first time you use it, you will be asked for Superuser permissions. Select "allow every time" and "remember this choice forever".
5. Now, you can replace any camera shortcuts with a shortcut to this app on your homescreen if you want quicker access to your camera!
6. You'll also have the app "Restart Camera" in your menu, but it can be safely ignored, so long as you leave it installed.

I noticed same thing, it doesn't work on 5.0.2 or 5.1
I don't know what the problem exactly is, however I found out that a shell command 'pkill -9 mediaserver' works just fine. I tried to simplify usage and set some home shortcut for a terminal command, but I failed. Therefore, I have a kind request if @temasek or anyone else could create an app which executes this one line. May be useful for others too

There is an app on play store called mediaserver killer. That does the same thing, and it worksI noticed same thing, it doesn't work on 5.0.2 or 5.1

In doesn't see to work in CM 12.1. In 12.1, it uses a version of the Google Camera app instead, so would that make a difference?
Using your command on i9505-CM12.1-optimized doesn't help. Cannot open camera afterwards.I noticed same thing, it doesn't work on 5.0.2 or 5.1

This does work on cm 12.1 on note 2 and galaxy s2 cm11 . you also need to install the CyanogenMod camera fix app aka cm camera fix.. Its floating around on xda. I'll find it and upload it later.
Here is the other app it is called Restart Camera this is from ewo.qjb.tib it used to be in the play store.
http://download.apks.org/?apkid=ewo.qjb.tib&ver=v1&server=riddeck
you need to run both apps and then the camera will come back
