Hey guys, this problem has been bothering me ever since i tried ICS, now i've switched to the Gnex and i thought maybe because it's native to the JB/ICS code the problem will go away but it hasn't.
The problem is within the camera app, when switching to panorama mode the camera preview is so small (like a cube? i've attached a mockup of the issue since it refuses to take a screenshot on panorama mode), i have no idea what's the root of this issue and how can it be fixed

So i flashed over and a JRDNEM_U3_2.34.1 based rom... (http://www.simply-android.com/discussion/704/rom-vanilla-w-eclair-1.0.1-122810/p1) and noticed the camera and camcorder shortcuts arent there. I downloaded the camcorder shortcut app and whenever i click it, i get an FC and it goes back to the homescreen. I dont see a stock camera app so i downloaded Camera 360 but the whole process with that app is too slow for me and the image gets stuck unless i play with the zoom slider to reset the camera. Its weird. Now im using Camera Magic and its great but it only captures 1024x768 which is only .8 megapixels. I want to get the camera and camcorder apps working the way they should, what should i do?
Workarounds i found was using ANcorder and Camera360/Fx Camera/Camera Magic to take pics and video but im still looking for the normal use of it. The developer of the ROM seems to have a chip on his shoulder and isnt very helpful so im wondering if any of you guys might have a different solution for getting the camera to work after flashing new ROMs and finding a that as a problem.
Hi,
I am facing this rather weird problem with my motorola defy.
A brief history: I live in India and I got my phone packed with Eclair and then i updated it to Froyo.
After that I rooted my defy and then installed MIUI Gingerbread.
But then again I started missing Blur and so I flashed a UK Motoblur rom on my Defy...
But since then the Camera is not working properly.
Actual Problem:
The camera application works fine. I mean it captures pictures and videos just as it should, but i see a black screen while doing so.
I start my camera application and its a black screen so is the case with camcoder.
I have attached a screen shot of my camera application to give you a better understanding of my problem...
I cant even watch youtube videos on my cell coz that too (videos) play with a black screen.
I dont understand what is the problem. I tried clearing the Camera application cache...but it does not help.
Is there anyone who can make me understand what is wrong with my phone.
Thanks
Have you installed 2ndinit bootmenu on the phone?

did you clear camera cache and thumbnails???
happened to me once
do a factory reset
apologies for n00bishly bumping a thread, but I have the same problem.
Since I rooted my phone and installed 2nd Init (I haven't flashed a new ROM yet, still on stock) youtube just gives me a black screen (sound is fine) and the same thing happens when I take a photo; the screen is visibily photo but takes a photo fine when I press the shutter
will a factory reset undo the SIM unlock?
Try uninstalling 2ndinit bootmenu.
Had the same issue, this is how it was resolved.
I made a thread before concerning my camera when I thought my camera just completely crapped out for no apparent reason, but after installing a few 3rd party camera apps, I found that MY camera ISN'T as dead as I thought. This is where things just get weird: the stock camera app constantly force closes when I open it. I tried reinstalling, a battery pull , clearing the gallery data, everything logical, but to no avail.
Now, when I use the camera up lg camera, the rear camera works like a dream, but it doesnt recognize my front facing shooter. Ita the same thing qith the paper camera app. Ive had this issue aince 4.0.4 to 4.1 to 4.1.1 & now Im running a 4.2 rom.
At first i swore it was a hardware problem, but now i have no clue WTF it actually is... Please help! Im fed up!
By chance, you haven't frozen or removed the stock gallery apk have you? I believe those two (camera and gallery) are married to one another and need to both be installed to work correctly.
Hey guys, I couldn't find this answered anywhere but, as always, apologize if it's a duplicate. A long time back, when I was first trying out 4.1, I found a link for a "better camera and gallery" that really was just that. The gallery had a sweet spiral view and the camera had both a panorama and a camera sphere function. The sphere let me take some sweet 3D pics but when I upgraded to 4.2.2, I noticed the overall camera aesthetics are the same as the 4.1, but the sphere function is gone as is the spiral view in the gallery (though I don't really care much about the gallery). My question is, it there a solid updated camera for 4.2.2? I flashed the zip I had saved way back when, but rather than replacing my existing camera and gallery, it gave me new ones (which I'm assuming is something to do with new architecture of 4.2.2, but I have no idea). My main concern is that now the camera often crashes upon taking a picture and until I reboot, the only message I get is "cannot connect to camera." Has anyone experienced and/or fixed this issue that could give me some input? I'd greatly appreciate it! Cheers
Seems like you are on AOSP based rom. They often has too many bugs .
In theme section there is camera with working photo spare by mike.

Gallery you talking is note 2 gallery. Idk if its in there.
I searched and couldn't find mind help with this. I also searched the cyanogenmod bug system. It has been mentioned in the bug system but it was basically brushed off.
Anyhow, in the stock camera app the front facing camera is fine. But in some third party apps, for example: snapchat, it's distorted. Only with the front facing camera. (took a picture of a coin which is a perfect circle and it comes out as an oval.)
This is on the most current cm11 snapshot and was also in the previous snapshot. Any known fixes would be greatly appreciated.
Really? No one has a clue about this???
I installed the latest snapshot awhile ago and recently i noticed that HDR was taking really dark pics no matter what in the stock app, and then I noticed that the front facing camera doesn't work in 3rd party apps, and hdr doesnt work at all in 3rd party apps. They either take blank pics or crash the app I've been searching for days and i cant find a single fix nothing. I'm sorry i can't be of help, just wanted to let you know I've been looking and can't find anything
I have the exact problem OP is describing for a while now. I would love if someone had an answer.
