Hello all, thank you for your hard work.

I just upgraded from my prevail. I rooted as soon as I got the Warp. I uninstalled the bloatware along with Email, Messaging, and Home (I made backups of course). Anyway, my camera app won't open. It crashes immediately. The weird thing is the camcorder works fine. I downloaded camera360 and that works fine too. But I'm just wondering why my original camera app like died o_o

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

uninstalling apps that use the camera causes these issues.

the messaging app is in essence interlaced with the functionality of the camera i recommend you restore your phone and flash cwm then restore it with woodstocks nandroid backup he was kind enough to remove some non essential bloatware and provide a custom boot animation of r2d2

Dont remove the email.apk. That app has something to do with camera that makes it quit working.

hey guys. i only rooted my phone and didnt delete anything except the Email app. im kind of still figuring all of this out. I literally rooted my phone because of the Email Gmail conflict and a few other app issues i was having.

can someone lead me to what I need to do to get my cam working again? I wouldnt even mind unrooting my phone as long as i know itll go back to working like it did.
