On all of the Jelly bean roms I have flashed, the camera doesn't save my pictures correctly and rotates them on to there side. I have searched and search the forums, but havnt been able to find anything to help. Does anyone have a link, or solution to this problem for me?
Have you tried any other camera app on the Play store to see if it produces the same issue? If not, maybe try clearing data/cache for your camera app
I thought that was an android thing?? Gotta take pics in landscape or the portrait ones will be sideways if you transfer them anywhere,?? Maybe I'm wrong.....but I've been only taking pics in landscape ever since I read that. I know for sure that's how video works.

Strange... after transferring several images taken from my phone in both landscape and portrait to my computer they would always be in the proper orientation. Either way, it's not a big issue to fix, unless you have tons of photos to re-adjust

Posted here because I dont have enough posts to post in the Cyanogenmod thread.
I recently updated to the latest nightly (10212011). I did this after seeing that 10202011 had some issues when using the video camera.
So this weekend I made a short video thinking all would be good but when I played it back via 'Gallery' the portrait video footage played sideways in landscape mode. Turning the phone to landscape gave me a stretched portrait video, which isnt really ideal in a perfect world. I can play the video in QQPlayer in its correct orientation but the video seems to jump, repeat parts and also goes out of sync.
I have searched to see if this has occured but I have not seen this issue before, so I wanted to flag it up to the devs.
Additionally I have another problem which again after searching I have not found a solution to.
I have the Kindle app installed and it all works great, I can read my book etc but after leaving the app the phone freezes and my only way out is to remove the battery. Has anyone else come across this? is there a solution?
Thanks for any help

Same by me. Anyone has got the same bug????
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
Mine does that too, unless I hold the phone sideways when recording. Lately getting it to record at all is my issue, but have posted that elsewhere

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.
I have a weird problem...while I shot video with front camera ...the video flips(mirrors) after saving....I find nothing in settings to correct it?
Any ways to fix it?Also tell you are experiencing this problem or not?
N B-there is an option in settings and I am fully aware of ...but that only flips the mirrored front cam image..that does not correct the video file..
That's not a weird problem, that is normal. Most phones do that.
The video does not flip after you save it , it's the opposite: The video is mirrored when you are looking at the live image while recording. This is made on purpose, and the reason is that our brains are used to see ourselves in the mirror.
See attachment. This flips your videos and photos after saving. Just enable or disable it how you like it.

So how to fix it?
I just can’t believe that the best market front camera does not have flipped photo mode, so disappointed.
The GCam Tool doesnt work :crying:
Is there any solution?
yes, i am disappointed too...
Hello, I am the developer of GCam Tool. I had replied to your Play Store review, with my email address ([email protected]), requesting you to get in touch. Nevermind, let me help you here.
First of all, could you please check your selfie using a third party gallery app like Piktures? Sometimes the gallery inside Google Camera app is slow to refresh thumbnail and so it might show it flipped but the actual selfie might not be.

What do you mean by flipped photo mode? My front camera photos all come out in the proper orientation, where the image matches the perspective of someone who is standing in front of me.
I'm using the gcam mod and it works fine. For selfies not being mirrored that is.
Apptuners you're right in saying Google photos is a little slower to update but it does work

But it is like a mirror reflection of what you see in the camera preview, isn't it? What you are saying is logically the correct way as even the writings on your clothes will be readable. Still I guess some people (myself included) prefer to have the output exactly as you see in the preview.

Thank you. That is great to know.
i hope google will fix this with an option to choose.
i prefer to see the same result as i see in my camera before i shoot
Glad I'm not the only one. It feels weird and unnatural when the picture isn't like in the preview. I know it's the way people see you but still I rather the pic be the same as the preview
what the heck are y'all talking about??

Hold something with writing on it in front of you while doing a selfie. The screen will display the writing backwards. But the pic will show the writing correctly.
I like it the way it is.
Thnk god now they have added a setting to save the selfie just as previewed.
i am facing the same problem, when i open the front camera in potrait mode it doesn't capture what it shows, it flips the image, i wish if there was an option to restrict flipping images...
Does anyone have a recommendation on a Gallery app that actually knows what to do with portrait mode pictures? Seems like Google Photos is the only one that knows how to properly categorize/show portrait pictures. Every other gallery app I have used shows every portrait picture and the non portrait picture as it's own album. Clutters up a gallery really quick.
Any suggestions?

I hope this isn't too much off topic but felt like it was worth mentioning. My favorite all time gallery app if one hasn't tried it is Sony's Album app. To me it is hands down the best app when dealing with a lot of photos. There is a universal port here on XDA if anyone is interested, thank you.
just curious - if google photos works, why use anything else?
Sony Album app was always great and has been ported to work on pretty much any android phone

How does it handle pictures taken in portrait mode? Every other gallery app I've used creates a whole album for every portrait picture taken? So far I've only found Google Photos to handle portrait shots correctly.
