My phone is an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running Oreo 8.0. Yesterday when removing bloatware from my phone, I accidentally uninstalled a system app using the adb command: pm uninstall -k --user 0 I suspect the culprit to be com.sec.factory.camera, as since that unfortunate event, the camera app crashes every time I try to launch it. I tried reinstalling it using either of these two commands pm install com.sec.factory.camera pm install --user 0 com.sec.factory.camera but they returned a "can't open non-file" error message. I tried as well downloading the APK on my phone and installing it from Android, but at the end of the installation process, I got a "not installed application" message.
