I'm NOT going to take any responsibility if you permanently bricked your phone or your girlfriend/boyfriend breakup with you because of this . My experience say only people who don't read and don't follow the step properly will brick your phone..

the tricks to overcome camera failure issue is by replacing your phone camera.apk
the first thing you need to do is root (which give you power to modify your phone system)
here is the link for rooting your G version.

ok, after root then what? you can solve it by follow this few simple step.
1.download this root browser via android market in your phone
Link
or any browser you prefer, but must support root so it can modify data in your system..

2.Download the only 1 of this 3 attachment at bottom of this post.
Camera 1
Camera 2
Camera 3

update 1st march
camera that using by me and working so far

3.Open your root browser and browse to /system/app, and move your 'Camera.apk' and 'Camera.odex' (for use as a backup) or you just delete it
(cz its rubbish that cause camera fail, it cant do the job so throw it to thrash bin )

Don't worry, if you really deleted and want back here is the stock rubbish camera.apk
Stock Camera SGS2

4.Copy the camera.apk that you downloaded and place it in /system/app

5.Close your Root Browser and run the camera.

6.Tadaaa you are done

Try reboot if it dont works..
or

If the camera fails to run or shortcut is missing. Go back to /system/app with your root browser and try to install it. DO NOT DO SO IF YOU SUCCESS run the camera

credit go to potatoman in xda. n superatmos.

IF any of these camera.apk still have camera failure issue do report to me which camera.apk you use..
1st , 2nd or 3rd. . i will remove from post

Good job eddie

Nice guide, should PM benny to put in first page of SGS2 thread.

MUST root??? >< no other solutions that does not require one to root their phone? ><

I just did it by setting "anti shake" to off.
Problem solved.

Will get back with the results of turning anti-shake off in reducing camera failed =)

Added on May 15, 2012, 9:55 amNotice there is are super rom & superatmos kernel. whats the diff between these 2 ? I managed to do the superatmos thingy using Odin but do I have to do the superrom 3.0 thing ? BTW mine is G version. So do I have to do the superrom 3.0 thing and then copy back the camera.apk file ?

so far i get error twice.. superrom 3.0 camera layout nice.. but i get error in tht camera more than this.. ><

I'm pretty sure whatever problem g users are having is not caused by a hardware problem, I guess most of the problem should go away once cm9 gets stable. Since cm9 won't have any of the Samsung crap and its build from source by the godly codeworkx
Just pray for an EU boot loader to leak soon!!

rooted and using superrom 2.0 but still having problem camera failed. then back to stock ROM 2.3.6 but the DZKJ2 version also having camera failed prob. planning to send back to service center.

its same.. my brother with dzkl3 also got this prob..

Still having camera failed. I bought last month .come with dzkl3 , revert too dzkj2 for easy rooting. Changed apk. Still fail . Possible other cam apps clash with ea other?
