My camera on the sensation doesn't work. Whenever i attempt to open the camera apllication i get a black screen and phone crashes. I am not sure but I believe I am missing the drivers for it as this only happened when i installed a new ROM. I was therfore wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the drivers or an alternative cyanogen ROM. Current version is 10.1-20130806-Albinoman887-pyramid. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi, my sensation has the same problem. So far I could get is to make a system-format in recovery mode. Before it is good to make a backup though. then installed CM 10.2 albinoman887-pyramid with gapps and camera came back for a while. I still struggle with the cam, i cannot make it sable. I think something overwrites a camera file in dalvik cache, because for me sometimes cleaning only dalvik cache helps to get back camera. maybe it is good to start with this, rather than make a system format first.
best luck...
if anyone knows better solution, please share it with us.

Make a nandroid backup, wipe everything except sd card from 4ext recovery, install a Sense based rom, see if camera problem persist, then wipe everything again and install cm10 rom. If anything goes wrong you still have nandroid backup

Hi, maybe you can help me as well. i went back to original rom 2.3.4, but camera didn't come back. originally, i updated to original 4.0.3 rom and I used this rom for a long time, when camera problem started suddenly. now i can install all kind of rom, camera still won't work stable.

You have to try another ROM, maybe you flashed a old version of the Rom that has a broken camera.

Try first a Sense-based ROM
