[Q] Cant connect to camera

[drrogern]

Hi all! I have been searching for an answer for a long time now but no luck so far. It seems that my camera works only on stock and MIUI :S I can't get it to work on any other roms (including every version of CM). I have also tried perseus kernel, boeffla kernel and the ones that follow the different roms..

The error message is the same no mather what, and is as follows: "Can't connect to camera".
Theres also a faint hardware(?) sound right before this message pops up..

Im sorry if there already are threads about this.

I have still not managed to get my camera working, but I might have found something that can help (you tell me). Im pasting my post from MIUI thread, which I posted there because I got the camera problem in MIUI too after the update.. (camera worked on .20)

I might have found a solution which involves flashing stock, extracting cameradata from there, flashing miui and then replacing cameradata with stock. I also need to change some permissions after that on which I might need some help. I will inform you all about the possible progress when I get home from work. Im still open for sugestions though.

edit: here is where I found the possible solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6#post40409206

would be awesome if someone could read through it and see if its worth trying

Edit2: I have tried for several hours now, and I cant manage to get rw permissions in /system/
I have tried this in ES, Root explorer, terminal emulator and now adb.. Looks like I have to go stock :'(

try using a different galley2.apk?
which roms you have tried?
maybe you have loose hardware in your phone?

I have tried different ones and I know its not the hardware because I can go back to stock and use my camera

Que tal amigos. Instalé el PACMAN ROM y la cámara dejó de funcionar. También en la SlimBean.Y lo peor es que cuando quise restaurar la copia de seguridad de la ROM STOCK que hice con la TWRP se queda en el logo de Samsung. Alguien ya sabe la solución?

How are friends? PACMAN installed the ROM and the camera stopped working. Also on SlimBean.Y the worst is that when I tried to restore the backup I made the STOCK ROM with TWRP stays in the logo of Samsung. Someone you know the solution?

issue is due to kernel.

Flash stock rom with stock kernel,do some pictures.
Flash custom rom with stock kernel take pictures then flash customer kernel,it will work like a charm
