| CyanogenMod Camera Bug | Solved | "Cannot connect to Camera?" Solved!

noobSU · May 24, 2013

This App is no way belongs to me. Im just sharing it to the guys using AOKP/AOSP roms. Because i was watching so many people complainning about it.

It actually completely restarts your camera app in a second or so. without having to reboot your cell phone.

Simply Install it. Give it Root permissions. When ever "cannot connect to Camera error" appears. Click on this app in your app drawer. Then open camera app once again. it ll be fine then.

Interesting! Will keep this app in mind. But exactly how does it work? What's the app doing?:fingers-crossed:

No idea how this works but, It defo works well! I forced the camera to crash (on pa) to test it, works like a charm

It just resets camera & all of its services libs etc which is also be done by the System when you reboot your cell phone. Its is exactly just like rebooting your camera completely just like you reboot your cell phone. As much as i can explain. Thats why it requires root permissions.

so, this is not a fix, it's just a workaround

It is a fix somehow. Clicking on the app & in less than 2 secs if it is resolving the issue. It is the fix. Yes, a temporary one. CM can only release a permenant fix.

Interesting..

It doesn't work on all AOSP ROM's I discovered now. Worked on CM and PA but not on LiquidSmooth, AOKP.

I install the app and opened the app when the problem started but nothing happened. It doesn't request Superuser permissions. Very strange!

It should work. Im using it on sentinel rom without any issues. Works on temasek unofficial aswell. Are you using CM official camera or any modded one?

There is no camera bug in the latest CM Nightlies/PA/Slim/AOKP ROMs.

I am on Temasek RC 2.6 with 25/05 kernel. No more "Touch to focus with flash" bug.

Thanks I was getting the same error in resurection remix rom... hopefully this will fix it

Its not for touch2focus. It is for the bug "cannot connect to camera" which appears randomly. & only rebooting your cell phone fixes the issue for some time. It can appear again anytime randomly.

I ve shared this app because it can solve that issue without rebooting your cell phone.

Verizon S3?

Still kind of new at all this custom rom business, so apologies if this question has an obvious answer - will this fix/app work equally well with the Verizon S3 SCH-1535? On CM RC4 right now and looking forward to using my camera again...

Gave it a shot, no dice

It comes up to ask for superuser permissions, which I grant, but clicking on it seems to do nothing.

It should. But I can't assure you. however you can check. If it'll not fix the thing it'll not break

CHECK IT OUT!

Just click on it when your camera does that problem 'cannot connect to camera'. after clicking on it re-open the camera app. it should work then

I'm using it on Temasek's unofficial cyanogenmod. It always works like a charm on every build. & yea on official nightlies as well.

Hmm, I wonder if I'm doing something wrong?

I installed the app and granted superuser. I'm running CM 10.1 RC4 on the Verizon SIII with the latest version of gapps.

I launch the camera and get the "cannot connect to camera" FC. I then tap the restart camera app from the app drawer and get the toast "superuser granted" (this happens every time, even though I set superuser for "forever"). I then go back to the camera app and get the same FC as before, no change. Have uninstalled/reinstalled to no avail. Any ideas?
