Thanks. I've installed that now but I'm still getting 'operation failed' when I start the camera.
Is this because I'm on version 46 of kernel power?
I can't deinstall kernel power...am I going to have to reflash my device?
I had a similar problem last year. I had installed several camera apps (FCam, ClassicCam, CameaShutter Launcher, some LowLight app, and a few more).. I uninstalled all camera utilties so I was back to just the base factory installed camera program and the error went away. You can try doing this before a reflash?
I kept getting the 'operation failed' error for the camera as well on titans kernel version 46. Installing fcam drivers from the application manager solved the problem.
I can now use blessN900 as well whereas I couldnt before installing the fcam drivers.

I was in the same boat as you. After installing the suggested item in terminal I then downloaded the newest BlessN900 from extras devel in app manager. This has the newer fcam drivers and it fixed my camera. For some reason downloading BlessN900 from app manager before I installed the slightly older fcam drivers in terminal resulted in operation failed.
Not sure why it worked when I did it this way but it did! Also make sure to reboot after installing BlessN900. I am on Titans kernel 46 as well. Hope this will help.
In short install the fcam drivers they told you to in terminal. Then download the newest BlessN900 from extras devel. Reboot.
removing Bless900 and fcam and rebooting solved my camera problem.
Thanks so much for the suggestion... I did have problem with camera "operation failed". After removing Bless900 and fcam, my camera manage to work without problem and I did reinstall Bless900. I just don't know what actually the problem that caused "operation failed".
I saw a couple of posts on here from those who had removed F-Cam and its drivers (0.1.7-1) so I opened FAM to follow suit. However, I would like to suggest a way to keep F-Cam, which includes a somewhat counter intuitive step.
I keep HAM shutdown so it doesn't run wild. This means apt-get doesn't work.
Using FAM, the drivers don't show up to upgrade so I thought I'd have to remove F-Cam to get the basic camera working. As I was removing the drivers, I noticed there was an option to upgrade them to v0.1.7.2, which the changelog says is for the new version(s) of power-kernel (e.g v0.46).
Summary Using FAM:
- open the remove software option
- press the 'C' at the bottom and select all (advanced)
- scroll down to f-cam drivers
- open the dialog box for this package
- if you're running v < v0.1.7.2, then an upgrade will be offered
- select upgrade
- install upgrade to drivers
- reboot
The first step might be substitutable with "open the upgrade option" but not sure.
I have already taken pics using F-Cam, whereas only a few mins ago all camera functions were non-operational.
This is a solution for the "operation failed" message on opening the camera, when the system is running power-kernel v0.46 and F-Cam is installed with driver version 0.1.7.1. If this message appears and pk0.46 and fc drivers 0.1.7.1 are not both installed, this solution may not be appropriate.
