Try clearing the data of that particular app. If that doesn't work, try clearing only cache and dalvik cache. Then reflash the os and bootup.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the reply
Installed camera from play store the icon appears for a second and then disaapears .I tried everything possible. Camera still not working. I think it's hardware problem. I haven't tried flashing my stock camera its not available online

how to get my camera and gallery app?

Ok so i got my first rom and was messing around with it ( bi winning v3) and i went to the SGS tools app and selected the option to update stock apps and this is where i screwed up , i tried to install the modded 3d gallery and the hacked camera.apk but after i downloaded both of them , and went out of the app , i noticed my gallery and camera are both missing from the app menu and if i try to open something that has to do with the gallery the app would crash , so does anyone know how to get back my camera app and gallery app? i read you need to flash , but what do i flash exactly??
Download bloater from birgertime (app section)
Don't install the stock gallery, it's a hog and slow. Try quickpic in the Market, lite, options, fast.
Or else you can just unzip the ROM using.go to system/app in extracted file..there you will find the original gallery and camera apps.just replace the gallery and camera apps using root explorer in system/app

If cwm is installed on your device use wipe cache. Or do you mean that you have no recovery of the old installation?

A launcher restart could sometimes solve problem that the old version is in your drawer again.
I have never studied the stock android recovery, but I should give you the basic options like wipe cache or wipe dalvik cache. Could you take a look into your recovery?

[HELP] BADLY Screwed up Camera and Gallery

Hi guys. My issue is that I was trying out an alternate camera for my rooted A116 and I accidentally ended up downloading and flashing the wrong version (which isn't compatible with this device) and the camera fc'd on launch.
But I had taken precautions and made a Titanium Backup of my old Gallery.
.
Since I couldn't restore the old gallery directly due to the apk having a different name (it was a 4.3 apk) I had to manually go and delete it using root explorer. But I accidentally ended up deleting other files similar to gallery, which I suspect are related to the camera. That's it I screwed up.
Even after restoring the old gallery all I get is a very laggy gallery and no camera application (will not launch from gallery or lockscreen either) same result with trying to flash stock gallery downloaded from this forum.
I even tried flashing the 4.1 gallery but same result. Every time I get a laggy and a buggy gallery and no camera app.
Also tried installing 3rd party camera and gallery apps from the play store. All of them showed error and failed to launch camera and the gallery was the same... Slow and buggy
So can anyone please help me get back CAMERA+4.2 gallery?
I'm on Android version 4.2.2 which should be the latest available on the device.
Thanks! :'(

will suggest you to take a backup of your application & sms ( app backup & restore , sms backup & restore) and contacts and reflash the ROM as no one will be able to blindly guess which all apks you deleted.

I deleted the files in system/app which had a gallery icon and had similar names (like you could tell they are related to gallery/camera)
If anyone with stock camera can give a screenshot of their system/app root browser I can point out the missing apks.
EDIT: In the worst case scenario does anyone have a flashable zip that will allow me to go back to stock easily and maintain root? Of not what I'd the safest and the easiest way?

Camera app version

Hello
My camera app is version 2.2.1.A.0.10 and i want to a newer camera version.But if I try to install some camera apks it just show :"App cannot be instaled".
So I tried istall apk as system app with root (put apk file into root/system/app folder (I've installed Selfie portrait or Camera Pro this way)). I uninstall my camera app, reset my phone and check camera app. The new version was installed but when i wanted to open it, it just showed:" Unkown error". So i came back to older camera version (i backup it).
Does anyone know how to install newer camera version ?
have a nice day
