What I tried but without success:
- I tried to install other cameras, none of them work. The flashlight shortcut from the status bar is also greyed and not working.
- I tried to give all permissions to the camera
- I tried resetting to factory settings
Possible fixes
Is there a way to get the camera to work with this device? I thought about install camera2 api but I can't get adb or root access. Thank you for your help
