Help Camera Crashes

When the problem first started I was running CyanogenMod 11 nightly. It ran sporadically and I replaced the battery, which fixed all of the problems I was experiencing except for the camera crash. I tried out SlimRom and then back to CM but it doesn't seem to work on any ROMs. I also tried disabling the built in camera and using the Google camera, and vice versa.

There are two error it gives:
Camera Error!
Cannot connect to camera.

And:
Unfortunately, camera has stopped.

I assume that the first error is given by the application and the second error is given by android itself.

The really weird thing, is that the CamScanner app can access my camera fine without crashing.

I have just been dealing with the issue, because I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. But I would like to use my camera as I am sure anyone could understand.

If anyone could brainstorm up any ideas as to why its crashing, feel free to share.

As far as I know camera works fine in cm11 and the latest slim versions so I'm stumped. Especially since a 3rd party app won't work.
Do you clean flash your roms?
 
I usually flash on top of my old rom, since CM openly supports that, but I do clean flashes when I have problems like this. I found a few "fixes" on xda and elsewhere that were flashable zips, but they all failed with the dead android image. Someone with the same problem suggested the workaround of using Focal as the main camera app, and it worked flawlessly! For now this workaround will be my permanant solution unless further complications show themselves.

also, @Madbat the problem exists not only on the nightly CM versions but also on stable releases and SlimRom.
