[Q] Camera Freezing Problem

I haven't seen this issue in a thread that has been discussed before and I would like to know if it only affects me or others as well. Most of the time my camera works just fine but sometimes when I take a shot the focus square window will stay on the screen with the picture and everything will freeze up until I turn the screen on and off and then to use the camera I have to restart my phone completely. I have tried other FTFs and factory resets but nothing seems to cure it up. Seems on the 757 it did not do this but started with the 108. Also happened on the v2 russian firmware for the 108.
I haven't tried any custom roms other than Slimkat and on that ROM it worked fine but wasn't anywhere near factory firmware. Everything worked on that ROM other than the 2 stage focus and shoot button. If anyone knows how I can fix this issue I will try anything because alot of the time I miss once in a lifetime shots because of this.
Thanks,
Scott

Install this APK, I have downloaded it from another thread here on XDA.
This will add an icon in your launcher that will fix the freezing camera app, however you have to manually start after a reboot or a ram clean.
Enjoy.

CyanogenMod 12 Discussion and Bug Report thread

This thread is intended for discussing CyanogenMod 12 by @arco68 for our Galaxy W:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cyanogenmod-12-0-20141230-unofficial-t2988830
NB. Read the installation instructions carefully as its quite different from previous ROMs.
NB. The first boot can take up to 50 minutes during which you'll see nothing but the boot animation.
NB. This ROM is still in its infancy, and many CyanogenMod features have yet to be included in upstream.
Huge thanks to arco68 and Christopher83 for making this ROM a reality.

Well, devs saddle up, end users rejoice...but this is certainly a huge amount of work done in a short time period, given the amount of differences.
...I'll miss Xposed until it's updated. Hoping that V4A will still work.

I've been using it for a couple of hours now, and I'm really surprised at how well its working!!
Most of the bugs I've run into are non-device-specific, and are due to the infancy of CM12 upstream.
Whats really funny is that not even my Nexus received 5.0.2 yet :')

Yeah, plenty of upstream bugs and feature limitations.
Hoping to get some magically unsecret things sorted out with CM12 in an effort to test various new things.

Seems like Performance option not implemented yet on settings. CMIIW
So, any idea how to get translucent status bar without changing build.prop?

I think the only way is editing build.prop for now

Everything has gone fine until I install a "smartkeyboardpro" offline apk. After the apk installation finished, the screen went blank and i didn't see any display responses on the screen. But when I pressed and hold the power button, 'shutdown' and 'reboot' options appeared so I just rebooted my phone. The phone then rebooted and there came up a 'android is upgrading' followed by 'android is optimizing 1 app'.. but it seemed to take forever that I decided to re-wipe and re-install the rom

On the second boot, I got optimizing 3 apps message too. Took about 15 minutes.
Subsequent reboots are all fine.

yeah it took so long and i never thought that it would last like 15 minutes..
I'll try to install offline apk again and see what happens..

The optimizing apps on second boot is TRIM running. Google changed this in 5.0.2, so now it is run automatically once a day. Either during the night while phone is charging or after you reboot.

After I log in to my google account, google ask me to backup data and apps or not
Then I choose yes and just select 5 apps (total around 80 Mb)
Then it says restoring...
It is so long waiting. So, I reboot and I cant bypass to launcher. It still says restoring after I reboot. Im still waiting now...

that's because you've select to restore your applications that synced on google play (backup) service, So you have to wait until all apps installed.
I was select as new device, so I have to install one by one from play store again.

encryption unsuccessful ,how can i fix it;? please help

I don't think encryption on a phone like ours is a good idea. (single core, 512MB, very slow MMC)
It slowed the hell outta my new Nexus!!

Any ideas on what to do with the .img files inside the zip if I, say, wanted to edit the system contents before flashing so I can remove/replace applications?

I found strange black screens inside folders gallery, all black screens persist for every single picture on gallery, and make looks like cheese board pattern

So I reinstall and select nothing. It works. I dont know what is the problem anyway. If I watch youtube, the restoring is just less then a minute then it jumps to launcher then continue to download selected apps. In my case, it stucks at restoring...
Other question: Gesture typing is not working on AOSP keyboard, I have enabled gesture typing in setting. Is it just me or not?

This is fixed with latest CWM 6.0.5.1 fresh install from here. For flashing details see first post at CM12 Mr. Arne thread, especially CWM section. I also have been updated my CWM few months ago to apparently "old" 6.0.5.1, but there was no option "format /data and /data/media" under "mounts and storage" menu. Only "format /data". Good Luck!

Only blackscreen with ui when I open any camera app

Hi there, my problem is: when I open any camera app, I can see only the camera app's user interface, nothing else. Both of the cameras are not working.
What I've tried: downgrade to 4.3 4.4.4 5.0.2, factory reset, full internal storage format, clear camera app data. I am on locked bootloader.
Any ideas my friends? I used my camera more than a half an hour in a day :crying:
Here are some screenshots:
I will try to post them, I can't do it right now.

First obvious guess would be hardware. Was it working fine until you did something, or was it just all of a sudden?
The only other thing I thought of was that there's sometimes other folders in the camera app folder, like 'arm' or 'lib', etc. You probably would know if you did something to that, though.

Last thing I did, I was recording a video. I watched the video, then I wanted to go back to the camera, and it said camera not avaible, I restarted the phone, and then it started the black screen issue. BTW, I can take pictures too, I can feel it's focusing sometimes but if I look into the image file with a hex editor, it's got only zeroes in it.

It must be some sort of software issue as it's very unlikely hardware would have failed on both cameras at the same time

Have you already done 'diagnostics' test in settings, or *#*#7378423#*#* service test, and they both fail? Only other thing I can think to try would be replace whole folders in /system with working stock ones.

Yes I tried them, both of the cameras still doesn't work.
What if delete everything in the root folder?

2 final guesses - bad kernel, (have you flashed a custom kernel? If not, reflash stock one via Ft), or some 3rd party app that messed with your software. Just try uninstalling stuff one-by-one.

[Discussion]How to re-enable full Photochrom on INT.10.5.11/EU.10.5.10

As we all know by now, the new update(INT.10.5.11/EU.10.5.10) changed how the photochrom work
now, it's working with the main sensor, and act like a filter, it's working only outdoor, with a minor effect
The new photochrom is like 10% of what it used to be.
I'm trying to re-enable the full Photochrom experience
For now, I've had tried these three ways to re-enable it, and NONE of if work
I tried to replace the OnePlusCamera.apk to the older version, doesn't work
I tried to replace these following files from vendor to the older version
Code:
Code:
/vendor/lib/camera/*
/vendor/lib/hw/camera.qcom.so
/vendor/lib64/camera/*
/vendor/lib64/hw/camera.qcom.so
but still, doesn't work.
And I can also confirm, the "fake device model" method doesn't work either.
(for IN2020 Chinese model, it fake the device model to other region, so it won't block the photochrom filter, work at EU.10.5.9/INT.10.5.10 for IN2020)
I can't seems to figure out what is changed between this & last update, that changed the photochrom behavior
If anyone can get it woking again, please let me know
BTW, the whole privacy concern is just nonsense, IT CAN'T SEE THROUGH CLOUTHES
Otherwise, you'll be naked every time you see a security cam, coz those things got IR too
OnePlus shouldn't disable/crippled a camera sensor on our phone, just for their own PR
UPDATE
The latest workaround is to use the FactoryMode app to "Test" the camera
First method is to unlock the FactoryMode
Follow this thread: [GUIDE] Unlock Factory Mode *root*
Then you can launch the camera test/camera preview in FactoryMode
Another way is to directly launch the CameraManualTest with adb command/local shell
Code:
For shell(require root):
su
am start -n com.oneplus.factorymode/.camera.manualtest.CameraManualTest
For adb(require PC):
adb shell am start -n com.oneplus.factorymode/.camera.manualtest.CameraManualTest
For wireless adb(require wireless adb debugging to be enabled):
[URL="https://github.com/lllsondowlll/OP8_Camera/blob/master/README.md"]https://github.com/lllsondowlll/OP8_Camera/blob/master/README.md[/URL]
These are still just workaround with FactoryMode, hope to see the original build-in camera method soon

Hoping for good solution for this problem, as it was cool feature I didn't have time to play with. Wouldnt have upgraded if I knew beforehand that this was the case.

Not only did the camera app update from 4.0.267 to 4.0.279, but the com.oneplus.camera.pictureprocessing updated from 4.0.79 to 4.0.81. I backed up both of these apps before updating using Apk Generator (play.google[dot]com/store/apps/details?id=com.aksapps.apkgenerator) but I'm not rooted so I can't replace system apps. You can try it and let me know though. Be sure to backup your apps in case it doesn't work.
drive.google[dot]com/folderview?id=18D_XwiiTJxfuhaV3TqJ5N4cDyYg_2gkE
There's a couple other camera related stuff I backed up but it doesn't look like changes were made to those. Links are censored with [dot] to get around the 10 post restriction.

I'm still on 10.5.9 EU.
Let me know if you need anything from mine..
I'm not rooted as yet so it can't be pulled without root I can't help as yet.

Why are they making this so hard to do?

I tried to replace anything seems remotely relate to camera in /vendor/lib and /vendor/lib64
nothing work, I think the change might not in /vendor?
By doing the file compare, i see these OnePlus service has been updated through this update, is it possible they restrict the camera with those service?
Code:
/system/priv-app/oneplus-framework-res
/system/priv-app/OPCoreService
I tried to replace them with older file, but system will be shutdown after boot
Anyone got any more ideas?

You gave me an idea. Tested with factory mode and camera tab then forth camera preview. Interesting, can still see the preview with it seeing through thin plastics even indoors. So, whatever they did with this update can probably be circumvented, just not sure how hard it would be. If you want to check it out, enable factory mode app then go to camera tab and do forth camera preview. Included screenshots of where to go and it still working.

How to enable factory mode, *#808# doesn't work I am not rooted.

Good work guys
Considering how difficult they tried to make it, I believe the best long term solution would be to have a specific app used just for this feature (mimicking this factory mode)
Else they would mess it up with more updates

i just rolled back my software version, so i have the function again

I'm on 10.5.11. but factory mode camera did not pick x-ray vision as mentioned. I tried several remotes and stuff. Any reason for that?

It's not x ray vision. It's an IR camera and can only see through very thin plastics without IR shielding. It works on Amazon remotes and Vizio remotes that I've tried.

I found a way to launch the color filter camera without being root and without using MMI dial codes to access factory mode.
It is a bit impractical right now because I couldn't make it work on a terminal emulator app yet, but it works through the adb shell just fine.
Just run this from the adb shell:
Code:
am start -n com.oneplus.factorymode/.camera.manualtest.CameraManualTest
It will launch the manual camera test from the FactoryMode app right away.
Press the bottom right icon to switch the camera until you get to the IR camera.
I'm running on the 10.5.10.IN11BA build.

Shure. Naming it "x-ray" is only a metaphor for the effect.
