Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] [ROM][OFFICIAL]CarbonRom 4.3

Hey guys, I've been going around custom ROMs with the galaxy s3 for the past 2 weeks, and all of them, except the stock modified roms based on touchwiz, have problems with the camera. Recently, I installed a clean copy of the latest carbon release 5/03 with the latest gapps, and i was able to take as many pictures as I wanted, but over the course of 3 days, everytime i opened up the camera app, i was able to take fewer pictures before it would just go to a black screen and i would have to pull out the battery to do anything even to turn it off. Now, I can open the camera app and do whatever, but once i press the button to take a picture, it automatically goes to that black screen. Is there any solution to this? And no, 3rd party camera apps do the same thing. I tried had Camera Zoom app of which gave me the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated as I don't want to go to the stock rom or a modified version of the stock rom just so I can have the ability to take pics.

I am having a similar issue except that I get the black screen only when I am using the front facing camera. It actually restarts my phone after the black screen.

Howdy,
i really like carbon. didnt think it would be good at first but tried it out one day a while back and loved it. been using it since but recently i switched to metropolis.
One big reason was that mms was so weird. I'm not sure if its an aosp thing or a carbon thing but whenever i was sent a picture, i would have to go through a whole mess to get the mms to load. Same situation to send it, its a mess. I like to toggle autoretrive off (maybe that is why but i dont think so).
On metropolis i never have this problem, mms is flawless and i was wondering if i could get some opinions or advice.

i really want to go back to carbon and im gonna give this latest nightly a shot. I wanna thank the op for a really professional attitude and for supplying us our outstanding carbon ROM.

Thanks ;)

when i go to the download site, do i get the release ? or the nightly ?

Depends on what you want. If you go with the nightly, you get all the greatest and latest features from the dev, but it can have a couple bugs from time to time, usually its still great and stable. If you go with the release, then I guess that's the most stable version there is with hardly any bugs, and you don't need to update the ROM everyday like you would do with a nightly.
