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.

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.

Every time I try to use the Instagram front camera, my whole phone just turns off and reboots. It's very disappointing and after a little bit of searching, I couldn't find an answer. My native camera works it's just instagram. I've heard people tell people to use their native camera to take a picture and upload it that way but that isn't really a fix to the instagram problem.
I was hoping someone here might have an answer for my problem.

Isn't there a way to use your native camera within Instagram? In the options somewhere, advanced camera or something.
I know that but i`d rather have instagram`s camera in use. is there any way to fix it?
Judging from the fact that there are constantly new posts every few days it seems about instagram and cam issues, I'd have to guess, no.

Anyone else give the modded camera a try. I just installed it & I didn't experience any issues. I'll test it some more tomorrow though
Google Camera Mod

Im using Mod rom viper 10 5.1.1
Im realise that latest HTC camera for HDR+ seems like have compress picture to reduce noise in the picture same like google camera apps,
I also try modded google camera apps and the result was almost the same (noise reducing)
which version u installed guys?U have weird noise pattern in low light?
Yeah, super noisy for me too, stock cam takes way better pics.
Are you all on stock or AOSP
I've tried this on both stock and PureFusion, there's always a noise pattern but it's most noticeable in low light pics. The noise starts about 1/4 of the screen away from the home button and continues to the edge of the picture facing the selfie cam. It's only our phone that has this issue so it'll likely never be corrected.
This is somewhat disappointing, as I was hoping this would help camera quality on AOSP roms. I loved LOS, but I couldn't take a good picture to save my life. The stock sense ROM camera really makes use of that camera sensor, as it should. Still kind of bugs me the Google Camera doesn't make better use of the sensor, since it uses the same camera sensor as the 5X/6P (10 has OIS, where the 5x/6p does not), and those phones take great pictures. I know there's more to it than just "your phone has *x* sensor, so we can take some great pics". It's just a little annoying, is all.
