“Cheese” is showing me this message: “No devices found”.
I already tried to reinstall it and also some packages, but nothing work.
Some useful information:

I have read of users with the 13d3:5165 webcam complaining they could not get it to work under GNU/Linux. I’ve also read of others succeeding if they also use v4l apps to assist. Have you tried investigating if v4l apps may help ? I can’t provide any more specific advice, as my laptop will run cheese without v4l - but then it is a different make of webcam.
I note the device permissions are set as root:video, which means that the user needs to be in the video group to access this device. Check that is the case.
I didn’t see this post before my previous reply. If guvcview works then maybe the user is already a member of the video group. Anyway, at least it’s just an application-related issue.
