"Camera Failed" Error for custom rom users - Galaxy Tab General

Hey people, I'm not sure how many have ran into this issue but I figure it's a handy thing to post:
After playing with Roto-JMI V2 I noticed my camera app was suddenly glitching out, giving me the Camera Failed error.
Figuring it's something screwball with RFS, I changed over to Overcome 1.2.1 with kernel.
First thing I tested was the camera app - worked. Excellent.
I proceed with my usual TI backup restoration and tweaks, re-pair my BT headset, etc. I go to test the camera again. Camera Failed.
Crap.
After some searching and a few other forums (I know, I know, cheating b*stard) I found out that it's ENTIRELY caused by disabling(or deleting) the stock Email.apk. Most people have issues with Fring, an app I've never used.
So there you have it, restore or thaw your Email.apk and your camera works again, go figure.

I dont have any backups can you post the apk?

One JMI Email.apk coming right up!

You Hero! Damned if that isn't the craziest thing!! I would never have guessed at that, I was just about to go down the same path as you (nandroid/TB restore, etc.) when I came across your post. Thank you sooooo much for posting this.
I can only guess that some wierd library dependancy exists in the email code - thank goodness for TB freeze/defrost.

Internet browser keeps closing after 2.2 OTA leak

So a lot of pages just close when I open them. I installed the 2.2 leak last night and didn't have much time to pay with it until today. It seems to me any web page with Any flash content at all is making this happen

This does not appear to be a leaked OTA, since was not intended for publishing. If it were a leaked OTA, it would install on non-rooted devices with no problem. This is probably a later stage test rom. If it were not, the actual OTA would have been leaked as well and not just one that requires multiple steps and no radio to go with it.
Warning!
Do not start a new thread with problems/questions in Development sub-forum. If you have to start a new thread, please do so in General. Else, post in the appropriate thread to which your problem/question relates. 2nd offense results in 3 day vacation. Thanks!
this is just a guess, but maybe you used titanium backup and restored system settings that are causing force closes
OP, in the browser settings disable the plugins and see if it crashes when you goto those sites. I was having this issue and no I didn't have to hard reset to fix it. Basically the issue was Flash 10.1 for me. I had the modified flash apk installed for 2.1 and when I updated to 2.2 it messed something up. To fix this open up titanium, choose backup/restore click on adobe flash and choose uninstall. Now reboot your device and renable the plugin in the browser you should be all set now.
I'm also getting FC's in the browser. This is with plugins disabled, cleared cache, history, cookies, etc... And I didn't restore via Titanium. I can browse for a few minutes and then a FC...
Ctinsley, you are the man. I followed exactly what you said and now no more internet explorer crashing. Once again you rock!

New Facebook app giving me an error.

Every thing works except when I click on the people icon. This is the error I get:
Fbook error:
The application Facebook
(process com.facebook.katana)
Has stopped unexpectedly
Does anyone have any idea why? On my other DInc it works fine.
Adam
Hmm I have no idea. Mine seems to be working fine.
On a lighter note, how badass is it that they used "katana" in the process name?
I have the same problem. I reported my dinc and still fc's.
What do you mean "you reported you Droid incredible and still fc's." That does not make sense.

just a shot in the dark here, he may have meant rebooted.
could you both please give us more information?
are either of you running a modified rom? if so what version (the rom name and the base AndroidOS version (2.1 or 2.2)
also please let us know if you have updated your radio in any way, or have applied any "fixes" to resolve other issues
Radio is 1.00.03.04.06
Firmware 2.1- update 1
All I have done is use unrevoked to root and then did a nandroid backup.

Did you try reinstalling the application?
Yes I have reinstalled the update many times.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
My DInc does this also when I try to open the friends list. Force close and restarts the app. Uninstalled the update and using the old one again.
I have a Droid Bionic and I keep getting this same error. I've done everything from re-installs to hard reset. Still nothing will fix it. One strange thing is my wife's login works. WTH?
Mine works, did ya'll try removing the account from the accounts list? If you are running Sense I'd remove that account too just for good measure.
After that I'd DL the app from the market, sync the contacts and see if it works. If it does then I'd go ahead and add Facebook for Sense last

Which LagFix to use...

...there are several lag fixes out there now. Which one would be the best/safest to use???

RyanZA without a doubt, one click. Get USB drivers. easy to do and easy to undo.

No offense, my friend, but spamming the forums everywhere with the same info in all caps is just a bit obnoxious. I mean, do what you want, but expect people to be annoyed.
read my post on RyanZA fix in batch file. tried V1 and V2.3, both have bugs.
This fix was stable for me, but there is a catch too. the limit for app data storage is 130mb, will you ever go over, i dont know. i didnt yet.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 batch file fix and I'm not having any problems...to which bugs are you referring?
The bug I’m aware of happens with apps that store data (such as texture) on the sd card outside of the new partition. Some games such as Asphalt 5, Homerun Battle 3d, heavy Gunner, maps... This is a problem with all the lags fixes. If you don't use those apps or apps like that it probably won't affect you.
For instance the load times for Homerun Battle were three times longer on start up, if it started up. I had several times where my phone just shut off. If it eventfully did start it would run fine. Chainfire talks about the bug in his thread found here.

Played around with maps, gps on/off, zillow app., switching back and forth and phone froze on Alpha 1 as well as 2.3. Also this is a know issue and I got it too, on 2.3 I was not able to change fonts. And I hate default font
When i use RyanZA lagfix it works but when i reboot the phone everything gets screwed up anyone have this problem itll take ages to boot up and when it does alot of force closes and widgets outta place etc
Use chainfire. I believe it may be the safest, easily the most automatic one.

motorola social widgets

So i tried flashing the original .apks i had themed then it bootlooped so i sbf'd to the old froyo, so im stock right data/factory reset too. entered my twitter stuff and the old blur social widget still isnt working correctly, am i the only one having these problems?
edit: reflashed rootedgb.zip working fine now lets see what happens when i re-flash gbrooteddeodexed.zip
Please let me know your findings, I'm having the same problem after installing the deodexed gb. I did not test it on the nondeodxed rooted version but it worked great on the original gb leak.

idk half the time i flash they work half the time they dont im still not sure
Same thing here. I used sbf and reinstalled gbroot and gdeodex, then my market wouldn't sync but social networking worked. I had hoped third time would be the charm but now I'm back to square one. Anyone else out there have this issue or know a fix?

ok one thing i noticed and kinda forgot, go to settings > battery & data manager > battery mode > performance mode, otherwise it wont continual sync, i think thats part of the problem, cuz when u first load it puts it in battery saver mode
I tried that and it hasn't worked. My problem is slightly different than yours though. It will push thru link posts or picture posts, but no status updates or tweets from anyone. Makes no sense at all!

ok also I think it might have to do with restoring with TB i think we need to do app only I think restoring data messes up stuff like before... my wireless seems to be broken

You may be on to something with TB. I didn't actually restore anything with it but just redownloading it in the first place may have caused issues.

[APP] Quick-Fix for "Cannot Connect to Camera" error for Epinters CM10/CM10.1

[APP] Quick-Fix for "Cannot Connect to Camera" error for Epinters CM10/CM10.1
I know this should go in Atrix development, but I am relatively new to the community and cannot post in the development section yet.
I have been frustrated by the camera connectivity issue that has been affecting Epinters CM10 ROM. Luckily, Epinter posted an easy solution to fix this without rebooting the device.. Looks like this works Epinters CM10.1 ROM based on comments in that thread (I have not tested it).
I decided that it would be a good idea to wrap this in a simple app that would allow a one-click fix!
This app requires root in order to kill the mediaserver process.
To Use:
1) Install
2) Open "Atrix Camera Fix"
3) Click "Run Fix!"
4) Grant Superuser permission
5) DONE!
If there is interest, I could create a one-click widget to do this as well.

This would have been a nice addition few months back, but I personally haven't run into this issue since the early CM10 builds. Maybe because I started using Camera FX, but camera always works and is never laggy like before. Still thanks for your work, I'm sure it will definitely help someone.

I still see this issue when using the stock camera, mostly after opening the camera multiple times in a relatively short period (~15 minutes) from the lock screen. I imagine that I can't be the only one seeing this. If this helps just one person, i'm happy!
Haven't used the stock camera in a long while, I remember it being annoying to restart. I'm sure there are going to be people who will enjoy this.
Try camera360 from the play store. It's free and has lots of options. It doesn't crash either...

What version of Epinters ROM are you running?
Please ensure that you have granted Superuser permission?
My solution is to use tasker to run the shell command: kill -9 `pidof mediaserver`
On every screen wake. So every time I turn screen off and back on the cam is good to go.

My app does exactly that and adds the ability to kill Gallery, as it sometimes hangs when the camera stops working. Essentially the same solution with different implementation
Yeah I was pretty sure it did. I just wanted something a little more silent and automated. Useful regardless. Hopefully the new kernel devs will fix the problem with cameras entirely.
Note: although on the new alpha kernel the cam always connected for me, I still had problems where I would get "static" artifacts on the bottom of images. Running this fix solves that issue as well.

Works on me i9300 cyanogen mod 10.1. Thanksssss
Yeahhhhhh:highfive:
I read about your app once a while ago and then I wasn't able to find your thread and today I finally did.
You should make this app more popular since it helps a lot. I'm running an international S3 with CM10.2 and cause of the lack of source codes by Samsung this app is more than welcome on my device.
Thank you again!
It works!!
I found out that this also works for the camera problem on CM11 sprint galaxy s3

Have you bothered to read the thread?
Iif so, habe you tried the workaround provided?
Also which rom and version do you have?
