So I've searched and found a few mentions of this, but no possible hints as to why it's happening...
Most (not all) of the time, my camera view looks like there is a pink solarize filter applied. I've flipped on and off all filters, and it shows the same in my camcorder app, Camera360, RetroCamera, every app that uses my camera lens.
I am running MynWarm TwoPointTwo RLS5, and noticed it on RLS4 as well as on CM6.1.1. I am running the Netarchy SBS CFS kernel. I notice the issue when plugged in and when on battery power.
Any ideas what may be happening, and how I can fix my camera? Seems like it has to be a software issue, doesn't it?
Just curious but does it happen on both cameras? If so then it seems more likely a software issue. Was not mentioned in the OP...

Sorry for neglecting to mention that - the front camera is fine, the back camera is the only one that's all pink.
Of course the obvious reply would be to double check the lens to make sure it is clean and not damaged...LOL!!! I am sure you have done that. If it were me at that point I would flash the latest stock rom and kernel which has stock code and stock camera software. This would at least point to a software or actual camera problem.
My hopes would be that stock would fix it...then you could re-flash the setup you had and see if it is the culprit...my way of troubleshooting before panic...LOL!!!
I'm thinking that's what I'm going to have to do. It'll have to wait until I have just a bit more time - I'll search for a rooted RUU and stock kernel to flash - making sure I have a good nandroid of this one before I do.
pusht down to reattach the thing. the cam comes loose

Hello all!
So I've installed CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1 and it's amazing. But it seems that when I run Vignette (which is a fantastic camera app btw) the viewfinder is messed up.
The bottom half of the screen is completely black, while the top half is stretched and distorted.
I reflashed the stock rom and everything was fine. It just doesn't seem to work properly in CyanogenMod.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any idea on how to fix it?

I've got the same issue and since Vignette is my favorite Camera App. i'm sort of bummed out. I'm not sure if there's a fix but that's something Cyanogen will have to look into.
Besides the bottom half of the screen being black, you can still take pictures and they turn out just fine.
Whoa, I'm upset now. I was using Vignette earlier (and I agree, *great* camera app) and it didn't have this problem, but now when I open it I see this problem occurring. What happened I wonder... It'd be great if someone could figure out a way to fix this.

I've got a fix!!! (sort of)
I emailed the developers and one of them responded back to me. She sent me a test build that fixed the issue completely. I suggest emailing the developer to see if she'll send it to you, as well. Good luck! (it's worth it, this version is pretty badass)
my camera stopped working this morning. No apps added, nothing changed in rom (just another day).
to troubleshoot, I did flash a new rom with full wipe (hoping it was just software) and no joy.
How can I test to see if the hardware is shot or if it's just a software thing?
Any logs I can look at?
any help is appreciated, thanks!

I had to get a new phone because my camera quit. I think I may have dropped it and jarred something. Maybe try an app that uses the camera but not as a camera. A mirror app for FFC, or a text and walk app that uses the camera to show you what you can't see in front of you while texting.
Chances are though, broken camera. If its not ROM related a backup should fix it.

Recently I rooted my phone and install the latest viper rom. I was noticed that I can't make Duo effect pictures anymore. Im wondering is that may be happened becaus of the new rom or i have some duo sensor damaged? i still have some picture made before and i can apply the duo effect on them but its not working for any pictures im making now. And just to let You know I know all the rules how to make a duo effect picture. Should I instal the rom again or back to stock rom...?

Before going too crazy, I would try resetting all camera settings to default. The Dou effects only work on certain shots(no flash, no zoom, etc). If that doesn't help, check the Viper ROM threads to see if anyone is having similar issues, or try a clean flash of the ROM. And, of course, there is always your stock NANDroid backup if all else fails.
On a side note: the Photos app has some pretty cool "auto-awesome" features too, just can't change focal point and such.
Hello all,
First post, sorry its a question..
The back camera on M8 is making strange pictures, if any at all (see attachment).
Front camera is working fine.
Got my M8 for 1 year now, never had problems with the camera.
mm-qcamera-daemon is running high on batt usage.
Stock camera app will most of the time open and then close again, sometimes i can make strange pictures like above.
I don't have an other camera app running
It's rooted and i'm running
InsertCoin version 3.0.8
Android 4.4.2
HTC sense v6.0
HTC SDK API 6.17
I do know there are a lot of updates from the above versions. But its running so wel all these time that i don't need a upgrade (still up to 5 days on a full batt :good
I did clear the cache from the camera app, I don't have lastpass installed.
Does anyone seen a picture like this (except from a good/bad trip)? And how did they fix it.
All input is appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.
One of two things is going on. Either the camera module has gone bad OR you dont have the correct software to run the camera or that software has gone corrupt.
I see your running a custom rom so my suggestion would be go back to complete stock and re-test. If it fails its a hardware issue.

Thanks for your answer.
Do you have any clue if the same software is used for the front and back camera? Front is working perfect so that would mean a hardware issue.
I will start with returning to stock, quickest way to see if it's hardware related.
The camera modules are different. Back has ultra pixel and front is a megapixel.
Since its easier to change software it makes sense to go back to complete stock for testing. Then if it still fails its probably hardware.
Basically, every AOSP 4.4.x rom I have tried (I prefer AOSP) on my device has had camera problems. Unfortunately, I came from a device with a buggy camera already and just cannot deal with camera bugs anymore, so I'm stuck on stock 4.4.2 for now.
My camera bugs are namely that snapchat cannot take videos with the front camera (the one facing my face) and that it vertically stretches any front camera images. I haven't tested many other apps, but I am sure that if problems are popping up in snapchat, they will pop up elsewhere in apps like instagram, etc. Moreover, the camera is very laggy on snapchat. These problems are nonexistent on stock 4.4.2.
Aside from that, Open Camera was the only camera app I could find that wouldn't break the camera until a reboot, which was a tolerable problem because I like that app nonetheless.
I've tried CM11 M12, Liquid Smooth, and Gummy Rom. All have some sort of snapchat camera problem. On Gummy, I couldn't even get the stock camera app to take videos without breaking the camera.
I'm sort of desperate for a solution because I LOVED the battery life and performance I was achieving on CM11. But I just cannot deal with the snapchat camera bugs. I'll take everything working the way it should be over a performance and battery increase.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? ANY help or advice is appreciated!
Will try bumping this a time or two.
Anyone know if these problems are still present in Lollipop? From what I've read they are, at least the typical CM camera crashes are, so I assume the stretching in apps like snapchat also persists.

From what I have read in the CM12.1 LP thread by Matrixzone the issue has been resolved. A search of that thread should confirm or deny if that is correct.

Okay. I checked it out and things are a little unclear. Looks like the camera is pretty much working for normal stuff in the regular camera app. Instagram is reported to not be working, but there's pretty much nothing on the stretching. I may just go over to CM12.1 and try it myself.
