    On my previous phone I used this app for a long time and on my new phone Samsung S7 I'm using it to but it's not working correctly.
    When I make a picture I get the message: failed to start camera preview and then the app blocks.
    Is there a way tp solve this?

    I'm using a custom ROM ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/lineageos-15-android-8-0-0-herolte-t3710107 )

    Does this still happen after a reboot? Do any other third party camera applications work?

    Sorry for my late reply but yess the problem still ocures when I restart the phone.
    This is not only hapening with your app but with all apps from which I can make a photo.
    On my previous phones I used always this app so I prefer to keep continuing with it.
    Could it something be with the permissions?
    As far I checked they are all open ......

    Same issue with the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. It works sometimes, but mostly it says that it failed to start camera preview. If I try to use the native Camera app after this error has occured with Open Camera, the native app also stops working and says "Camera failed". Restarting the phone fixes the issue with the native app (this happens consistently - I have checked multiple times), but the issue with the Open Camera app persists. Please fix this if possible! Thanks!
