How to install it?!?

Ok.

I did this on another smartphone for a friend. So i need maximum knowledge on what to do.

I installed cm11 latest nightly for him on his phone. Camera does not work.

He downloaded the latest cm camera fix v5.0, but this removed the camera app completly from his phone.

Which kind of app should i install. Can the Op please do a little clean up, with nice instructions on which camera app i should use and how.

So which camera app should i install and can i use. It is a little blurry...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fourX79:
Install the omni version of v5 and it will work.

i have whatsapp+ , if i use camera with it , camera stops working.. gives old error " cant connect to camera"
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rashsalmn:
First of all be sure you're on latest ArchiDroid (2.5.3 at the moment) and download V5 zip from the OP. Then go to system/app and delete "Camera2.apk" and "Camera2.odex". Delete them with a file manager of some sort. Then turn the device off and from recovery flash V5 zip two times in a row. Wipe Dalvik cache and reboot.

It worked that way for me on AD 2.5, 2.5.1, 2.5.2 and now on 2.5.3.[/QUOTE]

Thank you. It worked for me. :thumbup:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Anders Pettersson:
This works for me

Hi and thank you for the good work done so far.

I discovered that the camera that comes installed together with Slimrom kitkat 4.4.4 and slimroms normal gapps have a strange Connection to the Samsung app "Paper-Artist". When I first installed my S3 i9300 with slimkat camera was not working that well, it froze and could not be started again otherwise it had been reinstalled.. I search the net for a sollution and found at Xda somewhere that Nexus had a Connection to paper-artist so I tried to download and install the app in q. No more errors in the log from CatLog when it comes to the camera and no more freezing.. so far.

Now, it's a week and I will download your camera App and test it.

Hope my sollution will help.

Regards

I don't think so, support for ROM 4.4 was added with v2.

[MENTION=3814993]RohanAJoshi[/MENTION] said in some thread that he doesn't have S3 anymore, so it will better if we don't expect a v6 with support for lollipop.

Help!

Hello guys!

When I was using CM12 I flashed cm_fixed_camera_for_cm_all_aosp_roms_by_rohanajosh i_v5.0.zip and now I'm getting error when I try to use camera on samsung based roms.

I'm using Mutaman rom V7.1(4.4.4).

Can anyone help?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Math_Apolo:
Maybe this flash zip was not compatible with CM12, I guess...

On my t0lte the v5 doesn't work either. V5 for omni however, works fine. I've been using it for months I'd say it's 89% stable-ish. Better than stock CM anyways.

So i am on cm11 m12. I have tried fixed_cmcamera v5 as well as v4.

So can anyone tell me which is the most stable camera app for cm11 m12..

fix CM11 camera / video recording by downgrading to previous jellybean gallery apk.

Most stable for cm11m12 is the camera from previous jellybean gallery apk to do this:

1. Uninstall camera apk using link2sd.

2. Uninstall gallery apk using link2sd

3. Reboot.

4. Install jellybean gallery apk.

Camera still broken on Verizon S3 with CM11

I tried OPs v4 and v5 fixed camera's but it still crashes on open and Gcamera can't connect to it. I've tried factory reset on both the latest nightly as well as the last snapshot of CM11. My baseband is I535VRBMF1. Can anyone help? Is there anything else I can try to flash?

Not having a camera is a huge problem - especially since I have a newborn. Not being able to take pictures of her is killing me :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mariod505:
I thought I would share how I fixed my camera issues. I tried all both v4 and v5 of the OPs camera, as well as the Google Camera and the CM camera with the (fix) app - none of them worked. I even tried factory reseting to M11, M12, and the latest nightly.

On a whim I went to the Play store and downloaded a number of 3rd party camera apps - they all worked. My favorite so far is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera

Hopefully people experiencing my problem will see this and benefit from a posted *solution*. Always remember to post how you fixed a problem folks.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] easyrider77:
First off I wanna say a HUGE HUGE HUUUUUGE thanks for this. I have spent the last 2 days endlessl looking and testing and trying to find a fix.

Funny thing I landed on this and this was my very last ditch effort at tring to fix this. I had just texted people about if this fix doesn;t work I am reverting back to 4.3 tw stock rooted. To my pleasant surprise, this fix worked for me.

I am currently on Octos 4.4.4 KK rom and have sent the last 2 days exhaustingly and tireingly trying to get a fix for this.

I am so very greatful for whoever made this fix, I thank you a million times over.

I am on a T999L tmobile s3, and for whatever reason this phones camea seems to have issues with aosp style roms. I tried cm11, carbon rom, and Octos rom all 4.4.x KK roms and had the exact same camera issue on all of them.

Again I thank you for ending my tireless search for a fix.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] giovag7:
This fix is not compatible with Archidroid because it use different libraries.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ScratMan38:
Oh, I did not see you tried with the CM fix on AD 3.0.2.

ArchiDroid 3.0.2 now uses OmniROM camera HAL, so you need to use the Omni version of the fix.

Flash the Omni version, go to file manager, delete the odex file for the camera app in /system and reboot the phone. It should work.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eveles:
Thanks a lot for the info! after the nandroid restore that i did, i havent had any problems yet. Do you think i should flash the zip anyway or should i keep the zip in my external sdcard so to flash it if and when the problem reappears??

Also can you be more specific regarding the path of the above mentioned ''odex file''? (in root/system/cameradata)? in the cameradata folder i have only 2 files : datapattern_front_420sp.yuv and datapattern_420sp.yuv

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RazorMC:
I know it's been a long time since you posted, but what is your advice in this regard (as someone who used Nameless) ?

I've tried other CM12 ROMs (not Nameless yet) and they all have the same issue (can't connect to camera) even with 3rd party apps.

I've tried your fix on CM11 and it solved the issue btw. It's the only thing that convinced me to abandon stock and go for CM11.

Is there any development on this fix for CM12? I guess the fix is still needed for other ROMs even if Nameless got it solved. :good:

Thanks.

I'm running CM11-20150823-NIGHTLY-i9300 and I have some problems.

2) in whatsapp the camera is not working, not taking pictures. it crash whatsapp after the first try and then a message "impossible to open the camera" edit: I noticed this with the frontal camera

3) can I add the red circle on the icon of whatsapp and facebook? (the notification about the number of the unread messages and notification)

4) it looks like that the display is with a wrong resolution... the pictures don't look nice either the icons... any suggestion?

5) using the whatsapp audio message, the phone record the voice super loud. even if I have the phone at 2mt away and I'm talking normally, the recording is super loud and the speaker will distort the sound even at low volume. any fix for this?

I really don't understand what did you delete.

I have found the script, and it is the same as yours.

I understood which files you manually deleted:

/system/app/Camera2.apk

/system/lib/hw/vendor-camera.smdk4x12.so

Is this making the front camera working?
