ok i read mostly , or should be majority of SGS 2 with G version having camera failure problem..
i am one of the G version user having camera failure problem and its kinda frustrated
how ever i solve my problem after google works and asking around..
the tricks to overcome camera failure issue is by replacing your phone camera.apk
the first thing you need to do is root (which give you power to modify your phone system)
here is the link for rooting your G version.
Declaimer
I'm NOT going to take any responsibility if you permanently bricked your phone or your girlfriend/boyfriend breakup with you because of this . My experience say only people who don't read and don't follow the step properly will brick your phone..
ok, after root then what? you can solve it by follow this few simple step.
1.download this root browser via android market in your phone
Link
or any browser you prefer, but must support root so it can modify data in your system..
2.download this

3.Open your root browser and browse to /system/app, and move your 'Camera.apk' and 'Camera.odex' (for use as a backup) or you just delete it
(cz its rubbish that cause camera fail, it cant do the job so throw it to thrash bin
Don't worry, if you really deleted and want back here is the stock rubbish camera.apk
Stock Camera SGS2
4.Copy the camera.apk that you downloaded and place it in /system/app
5.Close your Root Browser and run the camera.
6.Tadaaa you are done
Try reboot if it don't works..
or
If the camera fails to run or shortcut is missing. Go back to /system/app with your root browser and try to install it. DO NOT DO SO IF YOU SUCCESS run the camera

mine was sorted right after rooting superatmos 2.1, no more camera problems
Sgs2 i9100g camera problem resolved
Guys, I think I have got to the root of the problem. I too was getting the "Camera Failed" problem on my SGS2 I9100G for quite some time. I tried everything to no avail. Then I uninstalled all applications which were sharing the resources with camera, those were the Flashlight apps. I rebooted the phone & since then I have not been getting the problem. I hope this solution should work for most of us. Anyhow guys please try this & let us know ur experiences.
Link to stock camera is dead. Could someone re-upload it?
Thanks in advance!
P.S.
I'm looking for stock camera from German firmware (I9100GXXLA1).
P.P.S.

Maybe, but you'll need to get camera app for I91000, not G.
Also, did you try to install camera firmware update? To get it search for "camera firmware" in Samsung Apps on your phone.
No camera firmware in Samsung App

Now the Camera is crushes and not responding :/
When I try to install it says Application not installed
Since upgrading to 4.3, snapchat has not been able to load videos. it just keeps refreshing at "tap to load" i also noticed that when attempting to record video, the screen freezes until you lift your finger, then snapchat treats it like a picture.. so i cannot record or send videos either.
anyone else encounter this? fyi, i also installed the moto x camera and am using the banks gapps with photosphere add on. this problem is persistent in two different jss 4.3 aosp roms. i tried clearing app data, uninstalling, reinstall, no change.
titanium backup snapchat
im going to bump this issue because i have some thoughts on what might be the issue..
titanium restore.. there was an incompatibility with 4.3 when 4.3 was released. of course i had flashed 4.3 prior to titanium app update and used it to restore snapchat. this is when the no video problem started.
my hypothesis is this.. snapchat needs to store your videos locally on the phone before viewing, then deletes it after viewing. do you think that when titanium restored the app, it restored it with incorrect internal storage mapping? if snapchat can't access internal storage, that would explain why it cant load or record videos.
now, ive uninstalled and reinstalled snapchat before with no luck.. might that be because snapchat leaves bits and pieces of itself in the phone therefore never really has a fresh install?
if this is the case, how can i go about hunting down every last bit of snapchat?

I'm able to view videos fine, but I'm having the same problem recording videos. One thing I've noticed, if I flash a new rom [complete wipe] I can record videos fine for a few hours, but after that it starts acting up again [recording, but then only saving the first frame and sending only a picture.]
Also, I should note I'm on a Galaxy S3, noticed this issue on Cyanogenmod [4.2+] and ParanoidAndroid [4.2+], haven't tried stock. I'll reply here if I figure it out, let me know if you have any results too!

I did find a solution. I uninstalled Snapchat then went into twrp recovery and deleted the folder associated with it located at data/media/android/data/*snapchat*
Reboot and reinstall Snapchat. That folder will be recreated... Correctly.. With what I believe to be the right permissions.
If you want to try something else first try the app "fix permissions" and run it on Snapchat. Maybe that will fix the permissions of the folder.
Lastly there is a zip you can flash that fixes all permissions on your internal storage to proactively fix this issue for any other app. Search for fix internal storage permissions. The thread should come up.

Thanks. I boot to TWRP 2.6.x, File Manager, use chmod on snapchat folder and subfolders, reboot and the video record works. This was on Supernexus 4.3 on T-Mobile Galaxy S2 T989.

I'm a little slow, what is chmod? I tried finding the snapchat folder to delete after unistall, but could not. I'm flashing a new rom now coincidentally so I'm hoping snapchat will just work after that... otherwise I might try this fix permissions app. I would really like to be able to send video snaps. Seems like it should be an easy enough thing....
Bump
Also having this problem. I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my GS3, used titanium backup. Ended up reverting to my nandroid backup a few hours later, and now my snapchat cannot record videos, look at videos, OR see "My Story" posts (if i click on them, it does a quick load, but doesn't open)
I read through this thread, but cannot figure out how to delete the SnapChat folder in recovery mode. I tried deleting it in the TWRP file manager, and it SAYS it deleted it, but it is still there. Any help please?
same problem

Hi guys, since a month I have problems with my camera-app. I'm using CM13 nightlies, just reflashed from yesterday with Open GApps Nano (to not overwrite Snap Camera for a try). With WhatsApp I can take photos without a problem but for holidys the quality is too bad . I also tried Camera MX without success. When I take a picture it shows the preview in Snap Camera without problem (the small icon bottom left). If I want to navigate to Gallery it just shows grey or sometimes even no file is created. I've searched a lot but nothing helped. I also tried to revert to last build where it worked but only got bootloops. I also completely wiped my phone and removed sd card, no success.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Bestregards
Tried it with nightly from today, no success. Also video recording force closes. No advice?
So after again a lot of reading, could my camera work again if i update baseband/modem/bootloader with latest from sammobile? Mine are really outdated from june 2015 (so lollipop version..)
If I update them I dont have to root etc, right?
best regards
So.. I tried OpenCamera again and set the save location to my download-filter (internal), this works. With my default Camera I can only save to internal, without choosing a dir so this doesnt work. Is there a possibility to fix the rights of DCIM so that the camera apps are allowed to write there?
[Edit:]
Seems like the permissions are the same from both folders. will try to delete the folder and let the app recreate it or possibly try sd-card as location..
I solved this now... I've installed latest CM13 nightly with camera fix https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/156891, made a full wipe (except my internal user data) and clean install. Unfortunately this did'nt solve my problem. I also installed latest bootloader and modem, no success, too.
I think the solution was to change permissions of dcim to 777 via recovery... that's why I couldn't delete pictures or take pictures but it worked with open camera on another file path...

Try clearing data on the gallery app and rebooting and then give it a shot
Also have you tried another gallery app to see if same behavior? I use simple gallery.

Thanks for your kind reply bro, earlier i have used "quick pic" gallery app and it was working fine without any issue, actually i have ls997 which is Sprint V20 device, it is without so many Lg stock apps device (i don't know why?) i have download and install some lg stock apps manually, Gallery is one of them, everything working fine except this deleting issue and "locked file" option, app always crash when i tap Locked file.. I don't understand why these all things happening.. ?
@NumairAdil
Only thing I can think would be the Sprint factor. There was a thread earlier on here somewhere about trying to get the LG music app on to the Sprint variant and I remember they were having issues in that it was more complicated than just taking the APK and putting it in system and fixing permissions. Where did you get LG gallery APK from? Does it come with official firmware from Sprint or did you have to take it from somewhere?

Yes you are right bro, Sprint variant have issues to install lg apps manually, but earlier i found a practical and most of time successful solution here at xda forums, mostly lg apps can install with a little tweaking by "Apk Editor" app,
In my V20 music app and fm radio are installed and working fine with these tweaks, even Gallery app working fine except that particular deleting issue, Email can install by apk editor tweaks but Exchange activesync restricted by this Bul**** compamy Sprint ?
I don't know why Sprint did all of these bul**** things, they almost ruined the potentials of a Lg device, what the hell they are think i don't understand,
Anyway i got these apps by a flashable lg G6 Rom which is oreo compatible stock rom, my phone updated to oreo and most of lg apps which i installed manually earlier when i was on Nouget were crashed due to non compatibility with oreo, so i download a new stock oreo rom and extract my required apps from that rom's system image,
But the important thing to share is that Gallery was showing the same issues when i was on Nouget, so this is the core misbehaving issue by Gallery app whatever it was on Nouget or now with oreo.. ?
