It looks like the camera service returned a null camera:

07-23 12:41:01.512 I/CameraView(30067): Opening camera
07-23 12:41:01.595 I/CameraView(30067): Display orientation 0 degrees
07-23 12:41:01.601 W/CameraView(30067): Error setting display orientation
07-23 12:41:01.601 W/CameraView(30067): java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt 
to invoke virtual method 'void android.hardware.Camera.setDisplayOrientation(int
)' on a null object reference

The device seems to be a tablet in landscape mode:

      "orientation" : "ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE",
      "screenHeightDp" : 696,
      "screenLayout" : "SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE+SCREENLAYOUT_LONG_YES+SCREENLAY
OUT_LAYOUTDIR_LTR+SCREENLAYOUT_ROUND_NO",
      "screenWidthDp" : 1366,

The device has a front-facing camera:

      "android.hardware.camera.any" : true,
      "android.hardware.camera.front" : true,
