Root [Sprint/Cricket] Free gS3 rom camera failure

Sorry for the incomplete question. The, camera fails everytime I try to use the front facing camera in my FREEGS3 Team Sonic Rom.

Everytime I use the front facing camera in this Rom, it comes up with the message "camera error" or something like that.

Because of is, I can't even use my camera at all unless I restore a nandroid or completely un install and reinstall.

Any suggestions or has anyone had any similar problems?

This started with free gs3 rom and I am not sure how to fix it.

Every time I go into my camera app it says "camera failed". The only time it worked was before I tried switching the camera from backfacing to front facing.

This is clearly not a problem with the rom, because it has transferred from FREEGS3 rom to blazer rom. I feel as if I am shit out of luck and need to unroot and revert to stock. But I am not even sure if that will solve my problem.

Does anybody have any suggestions about what this could be or how I could fix it?

P.S.: yes I did wipe dalvik, system, and regular cache before flashing.

Thanks for the reply Rxpert83.

By a full wipe, do you mine just dalvik cache, system, and cache? Or do you mean literally format my system as well as my sd card?

By the way, is there a way to flash the stock ROM to TWRP recovery without unrooting and fix this problem? If so, can anyone give me the link?
