Phone is a Samsung s3, sgh-T999L on tmobile.
Problem I am having is if I install anything above like pico gapps, basically anything that has more than like google play services, my camera on KK 4.4.x roms force closes and locks up.
I have narrowed it down to something within the gapps packages that is causing the issue with the camera, but I cannot for the life of me track down what app is doing it, if it IS an app, my assumption is that it's an app that conflicts with the camera.
What I have done thus far is a Ful wipe, data, cache, internal, dalvik, etc....everything, and I do this kind of wipe on every flash/install of roms.
I have tried cm11 full gapps, pa full, micro, and pico gapps, and every one of them except for the pico gapps, causes issues with the camera. I have tried this on 3 different 4.4.4 roms....carbon rom, cm11 rom, and Octos KK rom, and all three have the exact same issue.
I first tried without using gapps and camera worked, so I then proceeded to try different versions of gapps, and narrowed it down to pico gapps works, while other gaps do not.
So has anyone else run into this issue or problem? I've tried searching google but I'm not exactly sure what to search for so I tried different search strings with no resolve, so I decided to post here and see if anyone else has had this issue.
In TW roms camera works fine, no issues. In KK roms using just the minimal gapps (pico gapps) camera also works fine, using anything above the gapps package be it PA or cm, the camera does not function. When I say not function I mean it locks up, fc's, gives an errors of "cannot connect to camera" (I've done a search on that as well and got nothing).
So if anyone has had this issue and/or maybe has a fix, please please help!!!!!!
Update:
It was coming from android L is what was doing it.
I clean wiped, and flashed the rom+gapps 2 times and the second time everything worked.
So note to self and others that see this, if your install L and go back to KK for what ever reason, remember to do a clean wipe 2-3 times.
