Just thought I would add a post here for future reference. This issue bothered me for a long time. It turns out that my problem was caused by an incorrect preview size, although the resolution set was obtained from the getSupportedPictureSize method.

So for example you can get the sizes as follows:

//first entry in list is 1392x1392 for front facing camera on an S3
List supportedPictureSizes = params.getSupportedPictureSizes();

Setting this resolution or neglecting to set a picture size alltogether will cause the dreaded error 1001.

If you encounter this on any other device I would recommend trying different picture sizes.
