[Q] Camera Problem with Custom Roms - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i tried Cyanogenmod 11 nightly, , CM11 Linaro and SlimKat 4.4, and everywhere i have the same problem, only the front camera works. in stock roms like LRS, everything is fine, as expected. i tried different camera apps, but the problem remains the same, the camera doesn't work, only the front camera does. there isn't even a button in the camera app to switch between back and front camera, as if i only have one.
is there a fix or a workaround for this? not having a camera is a dealbraker for me, but i really don't want to stay stock. i flashed multiple times, used different gapps versions, did factory resets and reboots, nothing seems to help, the stock version was 4.4.2 v50020. anyone else experiencing such problems?

WEIRD!!!!

I'm having the same problem. My Gpad came from the factory with 4.4.2 installed. and when I try to put any custon rom, this problem is with the camera. any solution? :crying:

Yes. The same problem. Maybe cyanogen team (Bug: CYAN-4444) can find solution.

same problem here, tryied every rom and kernel and nothing. only stock firmware back camera works.. can anyone help us?

read in one SlimKat thread that using the Google Camera from play store would work with all the custom roms, since it uses a different API than other apps.
Haven't tried myself, but you can give it a try

Google camera doesn't work better for me. This is very annoying

For me neither. Also in the latest builds where infected said the back camera should be fixed, it doesn't work for me.

The problem with camera is present on not only custom roms. It exists on official v50010a firmwares after downgrade. Possibly it's driver\kernel problem, which is caused distinction in camera's modules. Maybe new revisions of the G Pad use some other modules, than older ones.

Any directions to fix it ?

IMHO, they need to get out driver for camera from official 20a. But how it function with kernel, this is the big question that must be solved.

So, there is nothing i can do, except waiting somebody solving that issue ? No mistake on my side ?
Having no back camera is really not a problem to me, but i can't stand having something misconfigured...

Both cameras working for me slimkat 6.2

Not for me....

Some have problem... most don't, something different about your gpads ?

Rear camera not working too
Hi
For me the rear camera won't work too.
My G Pad is a V50020d with stock 4.4.2. I installed the Cyanogenmod 11 via CWM Philz Touch.

Same problem here
tried cm11, paranoid e now um on mahdi, no back camera on any of 3 roms

I haven't tested other custom roms, but Infected's CM11 M9 won't fix the back camera for me.
My G Pad (stock V50020a) is made in Brazil, there might be something to do with this driver or component-wise.

There is a source codes of the last firmware and kernel for the g pad on the lge site.
Maybe, it will help developers to add support for our camera module in the cyan kernel.

Same problem here... Spanish lg g pad 1 month of use

[Q]Kitkat rom can't connect to camera (E975)

Hello, I am new here.
So I flashed this psx rom 4.4.2 geehrc. Its good, but my issue is that the rear camera cannot connect for some reason. Only the front camera works. I have googled and searched alot, but I have only found answers for s3 users with the same issue. I have tried all of those fixes, but none of them have worked for me.
Thanks for the help!
Tried clean reflash ?

Yes I tried that too, and flashing other kernel doesn't work either. I think that it is not about perimissions, because I have also fixed permissions in recovery.
Thanks for the help
Okay, so now I just flashed the vanir kitkat rom and the camera works again. It might be the google camera I flashed to psx that broke it

[Q] Camera not working Cynogenmod 11-20141112-Snapshot-M12-d2tle

Hi I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this but I was wondering if anyone had a known fix for the camera for my t-mobile galaxy S3. It used to work before the last two snapshots of CM, now it just says Camera has stopped working on all Camera applications. Maybe I should go back to the last stable? That was a while now.. Thank you in advance! Also Have tried flashing Slimkat, seemed to work but I care for the ROM much. Maybe can someone point me in the direction of a good ROM to use?
Try Nexus Camera
I was on CM 11 M12 and was having a similar issue. Any time I would try to change the flash status the camera app would fail (Cannot Connect to Camera) and not come back until I rebooted the phone. I switched from CM11 M12 to Pac Rom 4.4.4 KTU84Q and had the exact same issue. Tried the CM Camera Fix App (CMFix) and that did nothing. I went and got the Nexus Camera App from the Play Store and haven't had any issues with the camera since. It's kind of weird because it appears to be the EXACT same camera but it worked for me.

[Q] Front third party camera distortion

Hey guys,
I've been trying to remedy this for a couple weeks now and am having no luck at all. The problem first started after updating from stock 4.1.2 to Slimkat 4.4.4. I'm rooted and I couldn't update over Kies, so I went straight to custom.
The Rom in general is fantastic and I would have liked to continue using it but in third party apps (snapchat) the front camera gave has the wrong aspect ratio, resulting in a stretched image and being ultimately unusable. I use snapchat a lot, and this was a dealbreaker for me. I asked in the qa thread, no reply so I tried others. The normal front camera works fine.
I've been flashing roms like crazy trying to find ones that worked for me, and I've found that the only ones that work are samsung based touchwiz ones.
I've googled around and the resounding answer is that it shouldn't be happening after CM updated, but every CM based rom results in the same issue.
I really like CM and it's derivatives and I'd like to go back to using it. Not a fan of touchwiz.
I've been through (in order):
Stock 4.1.2 (everything worked fine)
Slimkat 4.4.4 (fantastic, camera problem)
Dirtyunicorn (fantastic, camera problem)
CarbonRom (fantastic, camera problem)
CM11 (fantastic, camera problem)
AOSPA 4.6 (fantastic, camera problem)
Liquidsmooth 5.0 (favourite, but same front camera distortion)
Stock 4.4.2 (everything works, still touchwiz)
Likewise S5 4.4.2 (everything works, awesome rom, currently using)
if I try back to AOSPA 4.6 and same problem as before occurs
Every time it's a full wipe, fresh gapps install, etc
Thanks in advance.
E: All Rom versions are the current stable release as of about a week ago.
E: Using the current TWRP now, was using the current CWM touch up until I got a bootloop and had to odin in twrp to fix it.
Bump?

just a real shot in the dark , but tried clearing cache in snapchat ; or uninstalling then reinstalling. or if have tibu then restore from 4.1.2 when was working. is there a Q&A for snapchat ? sorry dont have more , probably already tried these. ¿
or here is a different version/style , dont know if it would make a difference tho.

OnePlus 3 Original camera app?

So, I went ahead and installed CM 14.1, and it's fine, but I absolutely hate the Cm stock camera app and would love to have the Oneplus stock camera. I can't find the apk or libs from anywhere. Any help?
there is this, working on official cm13:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/port-oxygenos-stock-camera-cm-t3451721
This port is working on CM13 and even on some mods based on CM13 (BJRR but not all versions) I doubt it can be used on something different. It can be even dangerous - for example on latest BJRR 13.11.2016 you get bootloop. We still wait for modified version. So don't flash something not confirmed working with the very exact version of your ROM.
