I keep seeing posts about the crashing cameras yet no one has tried my fixes? lol oh well, it's the same functioning cameras and has sdcard saving capabilities and oh yeah, haven't failed me once on cm11...every update I've done and had a camera problem I've fixed in about 1 mins time lol
Already tried it...would love it to work on 2/10!!
Here's what I did, correct me if I missed something.
Since there is no way to uninstall the Camera App, I disabled it.
Made a B/U copy of the Camera APK
Deleted the APK
Copied and pasted the new file to my root system folder using both ES File (with root permission) and Root explorer
Changed permissions
Rebooted
Prompted a Android is updating window
Clicked on Camera
"Camera Stopped working" window popped up
I imagine the issues is from me not being able to uninstall the original apk and furthermore not being able to install your file.
Suggestions??? It may work for some, but not all apparently. Besides, when any new updates surface from the CM team, those would get over written anyway, right?? I am on a nightly and it is senseless, IMHO, to install your "way" only to have it undone when I update a preferred nightly...Agree? Disagree??:angel:

Also, there is no Google Camera.apk, nor a Google gallery.apk.
I am running CM11 2/10. If this will truly work, then I will stay on the 2/10 until there is a bonafide answer from CM on the actual fix. I just wished they didn't screw with it in the first place. I will take any suggestions?
Believe it or not, I tried several times to get your "fix" to work, but it just did not work. There is no "uninstall" feature for the camera anywhere that I can see., even when I go to the properties function of the file in system/apps. The only way to "get rid of it" is to delete the apk in the apps folder of the system directory. I have tried both ways, but cannot get it to work. Furthermore, your instructions on copying and pasting the download file to your system/apps directory and they installing in from there resulted in "app not installed" issue each time.

Since there is no uninstall feature for Camera2.apk, that is the file in system/apps even when I touch it or touch and hold the file. Where is it that you get the uninstall feature. It is not a "camera.apk" it is a camera2.apk file.
Also, there is no Google Camera.apk, nor a Google gallery.apk.

you can use the free version just fine, titanium backup brotha!! lol that'll uninstall any system apk, reinstall or even just freeze it, back it up, turn user apps into system apps and vice versa...every rooted user should have that app or 1 that's equivalent to it. and well worth the $7 for the pro version by the way
Tried Root Browser..Didn't work.
Wanted to let you know that I tried using root browser lite and still had the "app not installed" (pre-reboot) and "camera stopped working" (post-reboot) windows pop up. If you are doing anything differently than I what am doing, let me know. I was actually able to uninstall the original camera2.apk app and install the new file, but it did not work. (I did make backups BTW)
I updated that write an hour ago or so...have you seen it? I now noted 2 different ways to attempt the apk installation, also are you using your phones browser to download the apks I made or computer? I recommend using your phones browser directly
anyone else, any issues with my write up, post there so we don't thread Jack this thread so bad
Yay!!!! It worked!!!!
Sorry to keep posting, but I am happy to say that this method really worked. The step by step worked, "kind-of", but my issue was a little different. The first method did not work at all. I was able to uninstall the camera2.apk file and install the new file, but after rebooting, I got the "doesn't work" windows...so, I then started from scratch this time...replaced the original file, installed and rebooted putting me at "stock" CM11 2/10 M3.
I, then, uninstalled the gallery.apk file, copied over and installed the new file, then uninstalled the camera2.apk file and installed the new file, set permissions, rebooted, tested the camera in all areas and, YEP, everything checked out and works like a charm. Even the FFC lag has completely disappeared.
Everyone, if I were you, I would try the second method first because the first method only created frustration...just some advice.
THANKS A MILLION FOR THE FIX!!! I will stay on 2/10 for a while now. Everything seems to be perfect. Now, maybe the CM Team can take a peek at the fix and apply it to the next monthly.
HOLY COW!!!!! YOUR ARE AMAZING!!!! IT FRIGGIN' WORKED!!!!

awesome and you're welcome...and to you and the other guys, I apologize, I just tried the method 1 myself with camera apk and yeah definitely not working for some reason, I'm on it right now trying to figure out what happened, probably gonna make a new camera apk...i'll bump that thread when it's done and most likely just add an edit to this post here...again, my bad, it did work when I was tried it out before posting it upHOLY COW!!!!!

fixed it...just please guys, you must use titanium backup though for the camera only process...that's the only way i got it to install, no other methods will work for that system app installation unfortunately but it's good now and fully working:good:awesome and you're welcome...and to you and the other guys, I apologize, I just tried the method 1 myself with camera apk and yeah definitely not working for some reason, I'm on it right now trying to figure out what happened, probably gonna make a new camera apk...i'll bump that thread when it's done and most likely just add an edit to this post here...again, my bad, it did work when I was tried it out before posting it up
installed the cm11 2-21 nightly. broken LTE, broken Camera (not going to bother with camera fix), now even broken 3G. back to 10.2 for me
I'm tired of having to read 2 threads for CM11. Can someone close this one and all of us use the normal nightly thread instead (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030660)?!
I fixed all of those errors myself...the camera and broken lte connections, just saying...yes I made a thread too how to fix the broken lte problems
Ever since the unified update I don't get no LTE. Is there going to be a fix sometime soon?
Since you cant be bothered ro read, no there isnt. CM is going under. No more support. Duh.

the last d2spr is crap too, no lte for me...I'm back on the 2/03 build and it's solid, I was just linking in the new builds for others
That's what I have been using eversince the change hoping for the LTE fix. I guess I have no choice but wait.

Actually, while I was on 2/17 before the changes, I didn't have any issues. Everything was as smooth as CM had to offer.
guess each phone reacts differently cause that 2/17 release was bad for my dataThat's what I have been using eversince the change hoping for the LTE fix. I guess I have no choice but wait.

That is correct!
Just because it's the same equipment you assume it would act the same as well. Weird, huh?!
