The CameraFA Icon

CameraFA is an application seemingly used to test the camera of an iDevice. It was most commonly seen on older factory firmwares, but has been seemingly dropped altogether starting with the 6.x factory firmwares.

Odd Behaviors

When opened on certain devices, CameraFA will put SwitchBoard.app into a "respring" loop, leaving the user stuck on a spinning wheel until they hard reset. The confirmed reason is unknown, but it is speculated that the reason why it crashes is due to the device opening it is missing a front camera. This means that CameraFA most likely opens on devices such as the iPhone 4.
