So to be honest, im not quite sure exactly what i did to make the stock camera app force close when trying to take video with it., i can take pictures but no video I installed Google Camera and force closed a couple of times on video but it now works and takes horrible image quality at 352x288. When trying to go into settings to change quality the app force closes. The last Xposed module i installed was App Settings and i did change a setting on system ui to put it on immersive view. I deleted the app w/o changing setting back to normal and when i thought about that i reinstalled the app but all settings were back to normal. Dammit, i should've left it alone since we don't have a recovery on Sprint LG G3.
DISREGARD THIS POST. I FOUND THE PROBLEM. i HAD REMEMBERED THAT I USED A MOD THAT ALTERED THE BUILD PROP AND JUST PUT THE VALUES BACK AT STOCK AND VIOLA! SORRY FOLKS.

This is what I noticed about the Arc S stock camera app.
After taking a picture, I would usually go back to see if the picture is well taken. There is a direct shortcut from the camera app itself, but accessing the gallery through that "shortcut" is very slow and laggy.
Wanted to find out if this is a flaw in the arc S phone, even though the processor is supposed to be fast? Is this a common issue among the Arc S users?
I do not use any task killers, it is non-rooted, and I find the lagginess only happens whenever I use the (stock) gallery through the (stock) camera. For the gallery from the homescreen, I use QuickPic. Compare to the stock gallery, it is much faster.
I usually do a reboot after 3-4 days, or whenever I find it lags. But the rebooting doesn't seem to speed up the loading time of the gallery. Any clues on speeding up the loading time? Or if there is another trick on accessing the gallery quickly from the camera?

you can set the camera to open the images in Quickpic. if it doesn't give the option when you click then goto the gallery application is settings and clear it's defaults.
this is what i do.
Quickpic is awesome!
Pvy.

Welcome to android i have those moments ALLL THE TIME
Glad it worked for ya
on a side note i dont notice any difference in speed from the camera on my phone to either of the apps
running stock kernel no tweaks but a heavily modified framework + system Apps
i have an arc s aswell.
Pvy.
I've had this same HTC EVO 4G since the week it came out, rooted on Cyanogenmod (7.1 stable, currently), and I've never had a problem with the camera before.
Suddenly, the stock camera app and one other camera app (ProCapture) are broken. They show the live preview through the camera lense, but the little gallery box on the right is black (where you can see the most recent pic and tap it to open the full gallery).
BUT here's the weird part - some other camera apps work fine, Camera360 for example... so I don't think it's hardware.
I've already tried
- Clearing data
- Uninstalling "Camera.apk" stock app
- Uninstalling via Titanium
- Rebooting (duh)
- Fixing Permissions (through ROM Manager)
I'm at a loss. I can't use the video camera either, so can't record video right now (since that's part of the stock camera). It just FC after a few seconds.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Have you changed kernels?
Greetings, Xperia M, Build 15.1.C.2.8, Half-rooted (unable to do the full root, I don't know why so I can't do the RW thing)
Like most of you have probably noticed, the stock camera firmware has a bluish tint problem. The camera works great in the daytime, really good actually. But doing some camera app testing in a darkened atmosphere I took some pics in my bedroom with the flash, and the pics look really BLUE. My walls aren't blue, they are yellow haha. After testing with other android camera apps such as ProCapture, the pics look as they should (no blue walls). So it's obvious that it is the stock sony camera firmware that is at fault since other camera apps make the pics look normal.
So saying this I went ahead and froze (disabled) the stock camera app so I could launch ProCapture with the hardware shutter button. But now I have no video recording app ugh. So two-fold question please:
1) Is there a way to make our hardware shutter button open up a different camera app such as ProCapture? If so, how please? (Like mentioned above I was only able to half-root it, the full root instructions just haven't worked for me no matter how many times I tried)
2) If not, and I do have to disable the stock camera app so I can launch ProCapture with the hardware button, can you recommend me what video recording app I can install that can takeover just video recording duties? I think it would need to be for video recording only otherwise I may run into problems with the hardware shutter button again. It has been remarkably hard to find a video recording app on the app store! I have no idea why this is.
Thanks much for your help. BTW, I like the phone. For the price, I think it's really good. And more importantly, the size and shape fits me perfectly :fingers-crossed:
For your 1st question.... I'm not really sure on the x m but when I was still using an mtk phone I was able to change the camera button to open any app I want in android.policy.jar or was it framework.jar (cant recall).. Cant remember which smali it was but I stumbled on it via search for text using notepad++ ... I searched for com.android.gallery in our Xperia case you should search for semc.android.camera (not sure if thats the correct package name for the stock camera app) and change it with the package name of the camera app or whatevar app you want the camera button to launch

try this lg camera : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677645
Thanks for the replies. As far as LGCamera goes, it seems to not have been updated in almost two years so I left that one alone. Did find an app called "A Better Camera" which also has video recording in it. So I disabled the stock camera and have just been using A Better Camera and it also launches from the hardware button. Better pics too in the dark with the flash. At least my yellow walls aren't blue
Edit: Okay, I have found a way to be able to launch a third party camera from the hardware button WITHOUT freezing (totally disabling) the stock camera app. This then will allow you to use a third-party camera app such as ProCapture etc (that don't have a built in video recorder), allow you to switch between the third-party app and the stock video recorder, but then also launch the third-party app using the hardware shutter button. In other words, the best of all solutions.
You need to at least half-root the Xperia-M (many threads found here how to do that) then get the AutoStarts app from the play store: (not allowed to post links yet). Just search AutoStarts from Michael Elsdörfer
Once you start AutoStarts, scroll down and find "Camera Button Pressed". Select Disable for all the cameras EXCEPT the one you want to use the hardware button for. You're done now. All the camera apps that you selected disable for will still work when using their icons, the one you didn't disable will be the one that starts with the hardware shutter button.
Note: I also tried the app "Default App Manager Pro" and set ProCapture as the default camera. But that didn't do anything, no effect on the hardware shutter button (still opened the stock camera). So far the AutoStarts method is the only one that has worked for me.
hello,
i'm having issues with stock camera app.
when ever i take panorama photos and try to view them in gallery (regardless of app used), i get this error message:
"cannot display panorama / the image file does not contain the required panorama metadata".
so far i tried with default gallery app and quickpick. neither of them are able to open the panorama file.
i also tried with google camera app. this seems to take panoramas without issue.
the only time / place i am able to view the panorama files is right after i take them and use the "recent pic" option from within the camera app.
right now i`m on android 7.1.1 with OS 4.1.6. unlock bootloader, TWRP, rooted device, stock OS / kernel.
already tried to clear camera app and gallery app data/cache. also did a wipe of cache / dalvik for entire phone. all in vain.
so .. if anyone has other suggestions ...
thanks.
In QuickPic, don't press on the displayed panorama icon but pinch-to-zoom instead.
Also keep in mind that QuickPic is noticeably slower on Nougat and might take some time to render the photo in full resolution.
The fastest gallery for Nougat at the moment is Simple Gallery, which also shows panoramas without issues for me.

The stock gallery doesn't give me any issues with panoramas, but it's a crappy slow app and I don't use it.
Nothing you can do about this. Something is fundamentally wrong with the way panorama-metadata is stored with their stock camera app.
Also taking panoramas in general is a PITA. I tried numerous shots at the beach last week. All were unusable because of countless stitching errors.
Clearing app data did not help unfortunately and It's not the only thing weird, also taking panoramas with google camera doesn't refocus for each shot.
Even some few OP5 camera reviews mentioned the same behavior. I really hope OnePlus fixes their app eventually.
Hello, unfortunately my camera app crashes when taking pictures. However, this does not happen when I snap pictures in Pro mode.
On "photo" mode it takes a picture then hangs briefly and plop the app quits.
I have not consciously changed anything.
This happened with MIUI Global 12.5 version then I updated to 13.0.2.0 version, unfortunately without success.
I attach the crash report of the camera app, in the hope that you can do something with it.
I have deleted the app data. Also I removed dual apps, that should help according to an entry I found via Google, but it did not.
Which camera app do you use?
The stock camera App.
