The new Liberty ROM made some changes to my camera that I don't like. My pics aren't full screen as they were before and I don't have options to choose from for my video camera (i.e. concert mode, night mode, etc). Does anyone know how/if I can the old camera back? If not, is there another camera app or something I could download?

Go into your apps,
There should be a app called Liberty Toolbox,
Go to app management at the top,
Go to install Add-ons,
Scroll down and click Camera [blur],
Also if you want the blur fm radio, it's in there too.
and that is all to get the old camera app back with the full screen.
It's simple, really.
Go to the Liberty Toolbox app ->App Management -> Install addons -> Camera [blur]
Click on that and it will install automatically.
I did all of that and now my camera won't even open...
Did you try rebooting?
I ran into the same problem. I ended up having to use root explorer to change the permissions of the downloaded blur camera apk, then it installed fine.
ya tried that didnt install then i started getting force close on email and something else so i use apkinstaller went to liberty folder /downloads and installed it still have the FC for the email how do i fixs
thanks for the info i like my blur camera better as well
I tried using root explorer and apkinstaller - neither one of them worked. Is there anything else I can do?
I have found problems with both the blur cam and AOSP cam under Liberty 1.5
The blur cam seems to create currupted videos if they are longer than a few seconds.
The AOSP cam will occasionally complain about needing an SD card installed before it will take a picture. I can to reboot to make this problem go away temporarily but it's annoying when I need to take a pic right away. I do have a 32GB Sandisk class 4 card instead of stock so it's possible that's the root cause, I gotta go back to stock ROM and see if that fixes things.
I use my cam to document everything in my life including store receipts, meeting whiteboards, contracts, etc. I also like to record vids when my kids are doing the goofy little things that they do so this is quickly becoming a deal-killer for me.
EDIT: or maybe I will try some alternative camera apps. That would be easier than changing ROMs
EDIT2: Looks like the AOSP Cam problem was something else. It seems that Android will remount the SDCard read-only if it encounters an error. I removed the card and did a full file scan. There might be a way to remount it so that errors do not result in read-only-remounting. It's probably an option of the mount command. That could be dangerous so I will only investigate that route if this gets annoying.

... problem exactly as stated above. Sometimes I will take a picture with the camera and it doesn't show up in the photo gallery until I restart the phone.
Anyone else have a problem with this? Has anyone figured out a way to fix it without restarting?
Yeah I'm having these issue as well and also happens with picture downloads. they wont show in the gallery until after a few reboots at times as well. or sure what's going on with that.
a quick fix, so you dont have to reboot your phone is to kill gallery with a task manager, and open it up again.
ok guys i'm had that same issue now my gallery is gone altogether....my gallery will load but it says loading images...then it says there is no content to be read...i down load an app from the market and it not seeing my sd card either...but if i go in file explore i can see everything on my card....i done a hard reset like three time no luck please help....htc said may have to send the phone back...i think its to small of an issue to lose my phone for a week or more...it maybe a simple fix so i will try this first before...ty for any help someone can offer
oh yeah if i take a new pic it will show up in the gallery but when i reboot its gone....
ok guys i fixed....what i did was took everything off my sd card....re formated...turn the phone off for like 5 min....then back on....put every thing back on the card check the music player and gallery to see if they worked and everything was there....then i rebooted to see if everything would disappear so far i'm good to go i have all my pics and files back....only thing on the first gallery load up be patient it take a min to load the sd card it will flash loading...but after that im good to go...i'm by a new sd card i think that may have been the issue....
It happens to me too. I unmount and remount the sdcard, and the Gallery finds everything.
I find if i go into the camera app, the latest photo is there in the preview box. if i open it, and then go back to the gallery app, it (usually) appears. but yes, annoying bug really.

oddly, i never had this problem until just a second ago, but what this guy said is exactly how i got around it too. i took a photo, task killed camera, went to gallery, no photo, reopened camera, photo was in preview, clicked on it, went to gallery from there, and there it was, ready to share.
it's gotta be a bug of some kind. perhaps the most recent photo isn't loaded to gallery until another photo is taken, or you click preview box. stupid, but possible.
Problem Solved
Hi friends, I encountered the problem as well today and found the solution: Go to the sdcard and search folders for a file named .nomedia and delete it should solve the problem. No need to format or things like that worked fine for me. seems some kind of bug
.nomedia is a file designed to hide directories from being searched by Android Media Scan (which includes Gallery). There is absolutely no reason to delete it, and it's not a bug.
However, there is a bug in Media Scan, which sometimes causes Gallery to "miss" pictures. Executing Media Rescan (from "Development") solves it, or as stated above, just unmounting and mounting the SD card.
There's no Media Rescan in Development on my gb 2.3.3.
I've experienced something similar. I've been running the various CM7 builds and whenever I'd take a pic and immediately share it on Facebook, the pic will never be seen again.
Since then, I've gotten in the habit of hitting up Sugarsync first to sync the new pics, the send it up to Facebook via the gallery.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
stock 2.3.3 and i had the problem today.
force quit gallery and it was back to normal.
why is 2.3.3 so buggy!?
When going into Applications => Gallery => Camera Shots, new pictures I took with the camera do not appear there.
Using Astro, I can see that the new pictures I took all appear in /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA, and this directory also contains the pictures that DO appear in the gallery.
Phone is DZ Froyo 2.2 stock, and this could have started after the OTA upgrade, not really sure though...
I just took another picture now in order to verify the problem, and for some reason it DOES appear in the Gallery, however pictures from the last week do not appear there (they are in the 100MEDIA directory like I mentioned).
Any ideas?
It's a gallery cache issue. The stock gallery app just sucks, a simple reboot fixes it, but I know it's a pain in the
As omarsalmin wrote it is a cache issue. Instead of rebooting, use a app to reload the cache. Eg Rescan w w w.appbrain.com/app/rescan-media/com.addz.mediascanner.
Had the very same issue the other day. It's really strange and affects more than the stock gallery. Both it, the Nexus one and SugarSync had the same problem. So I assume the problem has more to do with Android/HTC than the specific app.
Thanks! I must've missed other posts about this because the same thing happens to me, and I was thinking there was a problem with my microSDHC card. So rooting and installing a new ROM will probably fix this right? Thinking about going to Virtuous.
I had the same problem the other day with my recent pictures and videos. it didn't even show the video folder. I rebooted and it fixed the issue.
Thanks for the advice mullepol, I'm going to install the application you suggested
Thanks guys, the pictures actually came back before I had a chance to check this thread, but they were kind of messed up order-wise. after installing Rescan it seems to be better.
I've tried numerous searches on this, but have found no answer. Anyways, I rooted my aria and installed CM6. Everything is good, except for the gallery. It absolutely crawls whenever I mount my SD card and it's a pain in the rear end. Is there any way to make it load faster? Some sort of setting?
I've tried downloading "Just Pictures" from the Market and it's great. The problem is, however, when I'm on the camera and press the album icon it takes me back to the default gallery and it crawls again...is there a way to set "Just Pictures" (or any third party gallery app) as the default app when you press album in the camera? (I've already tried setting "Just Pictures" as the default app that launches when a picture is pressed on the file explorer, but to no avail)
Thanks for all your help guys!
I don't have an answer about your Just Pictures problem but I overclocked my CM6 Aria with setCPU and that speeds up the gallery quite a bit.
Maybe getting a better class SD Card. And overclocking will help too.
This is probably one the things I hate the most about CM. Not CM's fault but yeah.
I currently have a class 6 card, and though it is faster, it still takes a while (when it caches the pictures)
I'll try overclocking to see if it makes a difference.
After updating my tablet to 3.1 OTA, the program Photo Browser 3D does not work anymore. Immediately after update or a factory restore, the program will work fine, but after adding all my photos to the tablet, the program will force close at EVERY start. Basically, it doesnt work at all now.
I have tried factory resetting 5 times now and the same problem happens every time!
Someone on a different forum recommended clearing the cache too, but the option is greyed out under Applications and it says that the cache is 0kb.
Can anyone help me with this issue? I was thinking that something was wrong with the apk, but I cant tell. I was thinking that I either need to reinstall the program using a new apk or that I need to flash the tablet with a fresh copy of 3.1. The firstoption would be easiest, but I cant find a copy of the apk. The second option I am scared to do. I dont know how to do it and I dont know which versions to get (I want to be sure I get one that works in the USA and that it isnt hacked, tweaked, or just a 3.0 version madeto look like 3.1).
If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.
Acer Iconia A500 (rooted, but I didnt tamper with system files or apks)
Photo Browser 3D 1.0.00.027
Android 3.1 build 4.010.08_COM_GEN2
Android 3.1 kernel 2.6.36.3
After posting my last message here, my tablet told me I had an update available. UBFORTUNATELY, the stupid problem still exists. The only reason I am typing this folowup message is because the Android build changed.
NEW build: 4.010.10_COM_GEN2
NEW kernel: 2.6.36.3
Same Problem
I have the same problem with 3D Photo Browser.
I use Virtuous_Picasso_v.1.1.0.
Hey spexwood,
here you can give a try.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23326686/3DPhotoBrowser.apk
I tried the Photo Browser 3d above and I still have the same problem. Any got it to work?
I'm running the stock 3.1 and have no problem using it?
I got the app from the market if that helps.
3Dbrowser force close fixed.
Hi all,
I also had the force close problem with 3Dbrowser.apk. Clearing cache for the app did not work. Reinstalling the app by clicking the icon in the system app folder did not work.
Initially I froze the app, but then I tried the following and it worked:
1) download the full OTA package of the ROM version you're running
2) extract 3Dbrowser.apk
3) using root explorer, rename the original 3Dbrowser.apk in the system app folder to 3Dbrowser.bak or move it to the SD card.
4) copy paste the new apk into that folder.
5) change permissions to match the original permissions
6) reboot.
The original apk was 1,92Mb, the one I replaced was 1,93Mb.
I have about 5 folders with pictures (DCIM, Documents, Downloads, ...) they all work and the app is actually quite nice to show off the Iconia's capabilities.
Hope this helps.

After a LOT of experimenting and having thisprogram switch between working wonderfully and force closing upon launch, I have come to the conclusion that it is the pictures themselves!
So, the first thing you need to do is to check that none of your pictures (and/or movies) are not corrupted. I found that the best way to do this is to open the Gallery app and browse through all your files. Youcan use the view in which multiple files are displayed as thumbnails (as opposed to a single full sized picture view). If a file is corrupted, then it will not generate a thumbnail for it. Instead, the thumbnail will remain black and when you tap on it, a full size image will not appear. Instead, a message about the image not being able to be shown will be there.
If you find something corrupted, then delete it via the Gallery and try the 3d Browser again.
The second thing I noticed as of 5 minutes ago:
After a long time of no problems, the 3d Browser decided to stop working today, so I did what I just explained about searching for corrupted images... to my surprise, all of myimages were fine.
I once again opened the Gallery app and noticed something odd, but the only way I can explain it is through an example:
So, lets say you only have 3 folders of images: A, B, and DCIM. In Gallery, you will see these folders listed in a 3D-like affect. They will appear with the folder name under the thumbnail(s) followed by the number of pictures in parenthesis (such as "A (10)").
Of all the folder thumbnails, you will see one that contains no name, but only a number within parenthesis. When I entered this album, I noticed some odd stuff. First, it contained a mix of black-only thumbnails (corrupted files) and images I recognized from my collection. Second, if you look at the details of ANY of the files in this gallery, they have no location, no height, and no width. Hesitantly, I decided to delete everything from this gallery (held my finger over the folder in Gallery and once it highlighted green, I tapped the trashcan icon). It didn't affect any of my pictures and the 3d Browser began working immediately!
I guess this collection was some sort of thumbnail collection or something. For whatever reason, it just accumulates waste over time and if an image no longer exists on the tablet, then the thumbnail appears as a corrupted file, which freaks the 3d Browser out.
I'm sorry if all that was a lot to read and absorb, but I think that doing one of these two things is the solution to this annoying issue.
(Post here if you have questions about anything I just said)

Hmm... that's basically what I did isnt it?
OK, so someone found a solution then. Awesome!
Too bad I didnt know before wasting months trying to figure this issue out =_=
I thought it was the apk, but after replacing it from several sources, it fixed nothing. Then, I installed a custom rom, which also didnt fix it. It wasnt until last night that I FINALLY got it working right.
Oh well. Problem solved XD
Thanks
Hi all,
I'm having an issue with my Galaxy S8. After taking a burst shot, a popup saying "Can't save burst shot to SD card. Saving to internal storage instead...". Following that, taking any photo will not be readable by the gallery. Taking the photo, then clicking the circle to view the photo will show the photo for a while, then goes back to the camera. Clicking on the circle now gives a toast saying "No items in Gallery." Opening up the gallery, there's nothing. However, using a file explorer, I can see all my pictures, even the burst shots.
I've tried clearing data and cache of my camera and gallery, rebooting my phone, deleting .nomedia files and rescanning media. None of those work.
What can I do to get the stock gallery and camera app working again? Don't want to use 3rd party apps because Samsung's in-built camera has lots of nice features. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Tried using Google Photos to see if it works? Least least would be good to test and see what the issue is. Due to the internal storage or possibly having an SD Card(bad card?) in the phone causes problem?

Yep, Google Photos displays my pictures correctly. Don't think it's a bad card because I can still see my stuff from a file explorer or 3rd party gallery apps.

All permissions are granted for both gallery and camera. I don't use Secure Folder, but when I was trying to get the camera working, the secure folder's camera works.
Realised something. I tried enabling apps that I disabled since day 1 (with Adhell), enabling CMHProvider makes the gallery amd camera work. Disabling it kills the gallery and camera. Thing is, this only happened yesterday, but I've disabled CMHProvider since I found Adhell.
