help please. the camera works fine with stock roms, but since I flashed DU official 8.1, any intention to take a photo (regardless of camera app) makes the screen freeze (not force close, it just freezes while generating the photo, and the save animation does not play, and no photo is created ) except for the nav bar back and home buttons. this happens with every custom roms I have tried after the first event. I used to think it was a matter of DU rom, but it also happens with mokee, pa, liquidsmooth, mahdi, spirit and pac. I have tried several solutions like flashing cam libs, stock cam apps, reflashing custom rom, flashing custom kernels, but the only method that makes camera apps work again is flashing stock roms through fastboot. I have an xt1032. it only happens with the back camera, photos taken with the front camera are saved as usual and the apps don't freeze. please bring a ray of light into my case, I don't know what else to try.

Go to dhacker's cyanogenmod thread and search for a zip on the last pages. It flashes the stock camera + libs and everything else needed.

I was going through the same things you are and it worked perfectly :)

thank you, it seems the camera works for now. it is nice that it now receives updates in spite of using a custom rom. however after flashing this zip, dalvik cache for user apps was wiped (without me performing any wipe) and then the theme engine broke. I can't install any theme apks manually, and if I try to install one from the playstore, I get an error notification and the " uninstall" button becomes "install" again. also, themes installed manually appear to be of 0.00MB. I will reflash my current rom and post the results later.

EDIT: clean reflashed and immediately flashed the cam+libs zip. everything works :D thanks a lot!!
