[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexxton:
I have the Infuse-4g I997 ... I am running Slimbean 4.2.2 Build 6.9.

For about 10 days after upgrading to slimbean everything worked fine... camera fired up instantly took great pictures and had no issues what so ever... One day I was in my running apps section of the phone and was shutting apps down and I accidentally shut down a system file... and I don't know if that may have anything to do with it at all but it seems as though from that day on I began to have issues. At this point when I load the camera app it is just a blank grey screen.. the blue button that takes the pictures shows up as well as the button to change from video mode to picture mode shows up but nothing works. I downloaded an app for the front facing camera and it works fine. I have tried other apps for the camera and nothing works... I had "cameraMX" when the camera was working and it worked great as well but now that does not work either.

I have included two logcats of when I was trying to load the camera on my phone.. I am praying that one of these will help someone see what is happening!
