Hi there... this is my first post which I didn't think I had to do but now I see no other way to find a solution.

Okay, It all started when I wanted to record a video for my girlfriend playing guitar, the audio quality was so poor becayse the mic gain was so high making it very sensible, so I did what it says on this video:

I tried then and it still worked, I wasn't sure if the audio actually improved but the camera still worked.

Couple days later I tried recording, and when I hit the recording button, the camera would close "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped"

I looked for solutions on the internet.... I. Did. Everything. Erased Data, Cache, Rebooted the phone, went into Safe mode, I even reversed the change I made in media_profiles.xml, didn't work, downloaded a copy of media_profiles.xml from internet, set the right permissions, (of course, backing up the original one) still didn't work, downloaded other third-party camera apps and it worked... in some cases, most of them also crashed, but this time when I switched to front camera, and then, as last, I did the factory reset, first thing I tried when it backed up was open the camera, and try the record a video, didn't work, and tried everything stated above once more, still didn't work.

I can use the Camera and record but in other apps, such as messenger and whastapp (tho wsp crashed when tried to record on front camera)

I have a bunch of crash reports in a folder named "CameraError!" but they are there since yesterday and this issue it's been there since last year so I assume it's not from the Native built in Camera app.

What's going on? D:

I have an LG K7. Lollipop 5.0.
