Resolved [9.8.1] K20 PRO - Camera app doesn't work

[Adavius]

I just flashed 9.8.1 xiaomi.eu and the camera app doesn't open. I always receive an error saying camera keeps crashing. Other camera apps work fine.

Same on my MI9, wipe app data dont work.

 

[Adavius]

Can confirm. Wiping data/cache doesn't do anything. I even wiped data and cache/dalvik from TWRP. Still have the issue.

Flash this, let me know if it solves the issue: (clear Camera app data after flashing)
*removed*

I tried flashing it but it doesn't work: updater process ended with error: 7; error installing zip file.

Go to TWRP, mount System and Data partitions, then flash this:

Thank you for taking the time to solve this! Works perfectly now.

Xiaomi removed a certain piece of code that was essential to built-in Google Lens. I forced a secondary Google Lens mode, like on other devices.
