[ISSUE] Galaxy S4 Cannot Connect to Camera - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I just installed the latest CM 12.1 Nightly release on my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 and the camera doesn't seem to work. It just pops up a message saying "Cannot connect to camera." and the app closes. I tried downloading other camera apps such as Cymera, Google Camera, etc. but it doesn't seem to help. I also tried the CM 12 Camera fix application over the PlayStore but that doesn't seem to help either. I tried using another rom by the name "Euphoria" for my phone and the camera seemed to be working fine there but with other major issues in the rom itself.
I'd appreciate any help on the topic.

Camera issues are a well-known problem with Cyanogenmod, due to incomplete driver support. Reboot your device to reenable the camera, and download an app like CameraMX that includes its own binaries to control the camera. Try not to use the stock camera.

Thank you for the reply.
I did try installing the 'CameraMX' and also 'Camera Ultimate 360' but both of them don't seem to work either. I don't get any camera error pop-ups and it is the only difference, I could witness from the stock camera app but, the camera is just a black screen in those apps. I guess I will have to stick with the nightly updates in hope for a camera fix.
EDIT : Rebooting my phone doesn't help either.

me 2 i installed android 7.1.2 and some while she stopped work and also the flash camera

[Q] Can't connect to Camera Error

Need some help.
Have a Droid Razr M
Rooted and bootloader unlocked
Running CM 10.0
gapps 2012
Whenever I try to use the camera, I get an error, "Can't connect to Camera".
I've tried downloading different camera apps, and nothing helps.
Interesting, the barcode reader app has the same issue. So that leads me to believe that the error isn't from the actual camera app, but at a lower level in the ROM or Firmware.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

[Q] CM11 WhisperPush Issue

So I tried out the CM11 nightlies, and of course to see how it works I tried the WhisperPush out since it is included in noobdev's builds. Now after attempting setup Messaging crashes immediately upon tapping to open. If i switch Hangouts to be in charge of SMS, same thing, crashes if i try to create a text. I tried 2 other SMS apps from the play store, same problem. Reflashing rom has same issues, coming from another rom to it, also same. Any idea what could be causing it, I can run other 4.4 roms without this issues, so definitely something with CM/WhisperPush.
Same Issue here

I got the same problem.
Trebuchet crashed constantly, too. Also, saving Trebuchet's options did not work (migrating from CM 10.2 to 11 M3)
Edit: The "Unfortunately, WhiserPush has stopped" message comes right after receiving the verification code and generating the keys.
Edit2: In Trebuchet Settings, I cannot access "Drawer" or "Dock".
Running:
cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-jfltexx.zip
on SGS 9505 without gapps.
Did you wipe data before flashing CM11? Since this is a major Android version change, it could very well be that there's issues from the 4.3 vs 4.4 data.
For Trebuchet Settings not giving access to drawer or dock, it might have been placeholder or there's a bug accessing those.

[Q] Camera Failed to initialize

hey guys. My S4 recently have some problem with the front camera. I cant open my front camera because it shows a warning that say camera failed. i have try to clear data of camera at application manager, wipe cache in recovery mode and reset factory setting. when i asked at a local service center , they said it is the software problem but they cant do it.. Can any of you guys help me to sort out this problem?
Thank You
Reinstall Android OS.
If this not help you, you have a hardware problem. You need to change the camera.
Thanks
thanks for your reply ,but i have already flash stock rom and same things happened..
If same thing happens with alternative camera apps (from google store for exemple), then i think it's a hardware problem (might be a communication between components)

Same for me, i recently updated for pie and i have root using Magisk.
I can take photos, but can't record, the camera just won't record.
Check installed Magisk modules.

Best Camera Application On PIE ?

I am on Pixel Experience Android Pie ROM for Nexus 6p.
Please suggest a good camera application?
Google Camera ver. 6.1.021.220943556 works great for me. You can get it at APKMirror linked below. When you install this cam, you may have to disable, clear data and cache of the stock cam and then reboot before it will work.

Thanks. Will try it out
I'm on ressurection remix room, without any mods, and this build of gcam has problem with flash. I tried clearing cache and data, flash lights once and then it stops, even if I choose between auto and always on. Has anyone else observed the same problem?
