the phone crashed when something is related to the camera function is running

the phone crashed when something is related to the camera function is running.
1) when using the QR code scanner from zxing and other similar apps, it can scan the QR and direct to market place. All without issue.. But right after press Install -- >> Ok (to all permission) the phone rebooted itself automatically.
2) When using QIK's live streaming, i can see the qik running and press Live sharing video, and it can load for a little, and as soon as i see the camera screen with QIK at the corner, the phone rebooted automatically.
If i only use the camera to take pictures or videos, all works fine.
So it seems something related to the camera when something else is working at same time.
Currently using CM 6.0.0. DS
Anyone with similar issue?
thx

Camera Wont Work After Update

Hi, I have a rooted nexus 4, which I accepted the kitkat update for and as a regrettable result, my phone was stuck in a bootloop.
I eventually saw it as the only solution to wipe my phone, unroot, install the 4.4 from nexus root toolkit, and then re-root, and restore the data I managed to back up.
Everything seems fine, however, my camera won't save images at all. This is the same when it comes to camera applications.
With the nexus 4 camera application, the picture shows and takes, but it just saves as a blank square
With the same application; the video is ready to take, but when I press the record button, it says "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped working"[Report] [OK]
With a custom application I downloaded called Camera 360, the picture takes and edits, but after saving it and going to view it, the thumbnail shows fine, but when you click the thumbnail it says the picture was not found and to delete.
I can take snapshots and send them fine, but can't save them.
On whatsapp, I can take a picture as an attachment and send it straight away before saving, and it sends fine to whoever.
It would seem the issue would lie with pictures saving to the local memory. I've tried rebooting, restarting camera application, clearing data/cache, none of which have made a slight difference.
Any solutions, prefferrably without having to go back and un-root and re-install and everything.
Thanks.

Camera Gallery - Exclude folders/albums?

Hi, I've noticed that the Gallery app is slightly different from my S6 in that it includes all pictures on my phone when i click on the Gallery button in Camera app.
Is there anyway to exclude all pictures except for the ones that the camera takes, like in my S6?
It a bit annoying that there is always a meme (from whatsapp group chats) in the bottom corner of the Camera

Same concern here, did you find any solution?

This has been an issue since Note 7 and I have not found any solution yet, except going directly to gallery/albums/camera instead.

I have used "no media" on my N7 to stop advertising pics showing up in gallery back when I had it (yep, advertising pics were showing up in gallery too), but that's really not a solution, since in my case I have tons of media files on my phone and I want them to show as media files, just not inside gallery open from camera. I have not seen advertising pics showing up in S8 gallery, but pictures that I downloaded from internet do show up.

I have the same issue! But with camera app.
I have the same problem on my S8. I don't want them to hide from gallery but at the same time they shouldn't be included in the camera.

I have the same problem, and I haven't found the fix yet. The .nomedia fixes the problem, but it isn't good as a permanent solution.

*Necromancer ⚠*
My Solution is to use Quick Pic! Been using it for years! (even b4 CM purchase. No they didn't molest it) It allows Hiding with or without password.
I give up on Gallery!
Obviously, .nomedia is not a real solution, to this day from Note4 to Note8. It would be nice, if like Open Camera allow an app to be used when clicking "Gallery" icon. I still use OC frequently, but some features are not exposed to 3rd party apps!
I can say it's embarrassing to show pictures &andaccidently swipe. Showing some of my Tumblr saves..

Use ES File Explorer to find the Cache holders and set them to hidden.
.nomedia only works until you clear the app cache and then it's deleted along with it.
If the gallery can't see the folder, it can't display it's contents.

Where are these cache holders?

Strange camera thumbnail

Hello all, I haven't seen anyone else have this problem as yet, maybe my S7 Edge just hates me?
As stated, I'm using S7 Edge G935f with Android N (G935FXXU1DQC4)
Just last week I noticed that when I take a photo using the stock camera app, it'll take fine but when I tap on the thumbnail in the bottom right of the screen, which shows the correct photo last taken, it opens with the last video I took, I've tried this numerous times & it still does it?
When I go into the gallery, the photo is there in the "camera" folder.
Really don't understand what's going on?

Just to update, I've removed the video I last took from the gallery & took another photo, again, tap the thumbnail & it shows the last but one video I took??? so, it appears it'll only show videos instead of the last photo taken, very odd

Did you try cleaning the cache on the camera app. there maybe a settong that has not been properly optimized after the last update. Also check the camera settings in case something is wrong.

Hi Cosmic Blue, yep, just cleaned cache & data & still the same, it's very odd because it defaults to showing the last video recorded & not last photo,
It's got me baffled, it wasn't doing it until the last week or so?????

All OP5 camera photos are green after wipe and root

So I posted this over on Reddit, but then realised that here is probably a better place for more tech users.
I needed to root my OP5 and went through the process.
Now after I've got everything up and running, all my apps installed, and Backups restored - I've noticed something very bad and annoying.
If I use the stock app to take a photo it will take the picture and show it in the gallery preview. But as soon as I try to view that photo using the gallery preview shortcut, or the gallery app, the photo instantly turns completely green.
All other apps take photos fine.
Using stock app Photos work on:
Depth Mode
Normal Mode with HDR Active
Photos are fully green with:
HDR Off
HDR Auto
HQ Mode
Anyone else experienced this?
I really dont want to have to wipe again because it takes over an hour to set up all my accounts and 2 factor auth stuffs...

Just after I wrote this someone on reddit said they had something similar with OP3 - They had to re-flash because of a corrupted build.prop. I rooted to change a bunch of stuff, including editing the build.prop.
I did a little digging and found that if you change the permissions of build.prop then it works.
Changed them to:
Owner - read, write, execute
Group - read
Other - read
Will leave this thread as a reference to others in case anyone else comes across this issue.
