really up to the devs on that, I keep trying the camera in the nightly updates, they fail, I just delete the camera and gallery apk's, reinstall that gallery fix of mine and wait till next time lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FatalIll:
I clean flashed 2/10 (SNAPSHOT-M3) and the camera was completely borked, would have to reboot every few pictures.

I just dirty flashed 2/17 (NIGHTLY) over it, and everything I've thrown at the camera has kept itself standing. No more issues, for me at least.

EDIT: FFC seems to be coming together as well, slowly but surely.

Same Issue Over and Over again

I, too, have been experiencing the same camera issues as well...but my only comment I would have is if it is truly an "m" snapshot, I would imagine it be a good idea for everything to work properly...I mean

everything

. I am a bit bothered by the camera issue since I went to Vegas this past weekend and had nothing but issues when going from video to snapshot to panorama and having to reboot each time. It was quite embarrassing, to say the least, when I tell my friends I have a bada$$ phone but the software was clunky. In the end, I still like CM11, but it needs to be more reliable in situations like I had this past weekend. I know the 'M" it is still a "better" build than the "nightlies" in theory, but if the camera was working fine before, why mess with it...just my opinion. Because of the headaches I had with the Snapshot this past weekend and have never experienced camera issues like this in the past, please accept my apologies for venting my irritation over this.

On a side note, the latest build is riddled with camera issues, please fix guys. Without offending many people that work really hard on this OS, but if there has been a ton of money dumped into this project, my expectation is that it works flawlessly.

The problem I have been having in the past build since 2/6 is this, see image below, when I reboot...not only does it take forever to get past the spinning CM logo, I get this warning window. Any thoughts???

Thanks for reading my frustrated post :eek:

Screenshot of Camera Issues

When messing around with the camera trying to figure out a pattern of why it goes down, I figured I would share a couple of Screenshot of the camera issues I am experiencing as well. Maybe others are seeing this also. One is a shot of a snapshot and the other is a video. Notice the weird vertical lines in both shots?

Clean Install Fixed Issues

Well, with so many headaches out there on the camera, I resorted to doing a CLEAN install of 2/10 and everything seems to be working fine. I haven't really tested out the camera yet as I am in the process of updating everything. If I run into any issues, I will resort to the link provided for fixing the camera and storage card issue.

One thing popped up after installing 2/10...."Trebuchet has stopped working" popped up, but I cannot find out why it is doing that. I don't like Trebuchet anyway. I cannot adjust the rows and columns....I had to use Gravity-box for that which seems stupid because Trebuchet should have that option. I liked Launcher 3; did what I needed it to do without installing another app. I wish there were a way in CM11 to change the lock-screen wallpaper differently from the home wallpaper without the need for Gravity-box. If anyone knows how to do this, I'd like to hear.

If there are any other issues, I'll report them. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vierajoe:
Clean Install error flag

On a clean install does anyone get a phone failed error. Essentially the phone doesn't see the Sprint network at all and I cannot get passed the Error flag at all. The only way around this to boot into touchwiz, run the phone activation. Once I do that then I can boot into recovery to install clean rom. I went as far as unrooting but the problem persist.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheQuicken:
I spoke too soon, camera crapped out on me "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped" popped up after simply opening the camera app...DARN!!!

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
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheQuicken:
Already tried it...would love it to work on 2/10!!

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.

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:

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

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.

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?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
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 ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheQuicken:
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)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
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
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheQuicken:
Yay!!!! It worked!!!!

HOLY COW!!!!! YOUR ARE AMAZING!!!! IT FRIGGIN' 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. :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
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 :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

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:

Also can an admin move this thread to where it should be (here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/orig-development)

You think I'm dirty flashing a TW Rom?

What camera version do you have?

Last time thought it was ART, now pretty sure it's just when I flash new ROM (and samsung ZK firmware is missing from CM11 source : https://github.com/TheMuppets/propr...tree/cm-11.0/d2-common/proprietary/cameradata), have no clue why, does anyone know who I can contact that maintains this?

So for whatever reason the camera fails:

Factory Reset : Camera doesn't work:

Install TW Rom and LG2 baseband (and of course factory reset & wipe /system folder): Camera doesn't work

Power off after booting TWRom and LG2 baseband then removing camera, reinstalling camera and rebooting: Camera works again...

Nandroid Restore the backup of CM11 where the camera didn't work: camera works again

very unusual

Flash new Nightly with ART enabled

Can someone advise me on this. Now that I have ART enabled and working very well. Let's say I want to flash the next nightly and it is the same version of Android I am on now. So I am on 4.4.2 and the next nightly will be 4.4.2 and I will flash the same gapps I have installed. Can I dirty flash and leave Art enabled? Do I have to do a clean wipe and install for every nightly? Or do I just disable Art and dirty flash like a typical nightly flash? Thanks if someone can advise on this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inbetweenaisles:
I usually dirty flash each nightly since it's the same build just added more patches. ART will stay on, but make sure you flash gapps after dirty flashing any new nightly. No need to disable ART.

Also, the boot up will be longer with ART, just a heads up! (have enough battery or plug into charger)

Then I opened voice dialer and said "Open APNs" - when I went in, I noticed that the Sprint settings were still holding. I hit the menu button in the top right and hit reset to defaults and the ting settings went in.

Look for the MMS url to be plspictures.com and the apn to have t8 in it.

Bluetooth Autoconnect

Not sure if this is a bug or something I can change in a setting somewhere.

My phone will not auto connect to Bluetooth in my car. Bluetooth works fine. I just have to manually connect every time I get in the car. This has only started happening on 4.4.2. It was not an issue on 4.4.1 and earlier.

Just FYI:

Sprint SPH-L710

Clean Flash to 12-12 CM11 with PA fixed gapps. Wiped everything except external SD card.

Dirty Flash to 12-13 CM11 with PA fixed gapps.
