[Q] camera help please

Hey guys is there anyway to flash the stock camera on lg optimus g pro running cm 10.2? If their isn't whats the camera should i use ? Im all ways having issues with mine freezing and its slow and getting the video to is a 50\50 chance.
Hi
I aslo would like to be able to flash stock camera on 4.4 or 4.3 because stock camera has more options. My advice for your freezes is to install a different rom like VANIR or OMNI i have no problems with camera or any other bugs, im quite new to the optimus g pro and still trying all the roms but stock camera would be great!

You can't simply flash stock anything on a non stock ROM. Some ROMs are able to do it if and only they contain the correct files cooked into them that allow stock features to work. Take for example the MIUI rom that just came out for the Galaxy Note 2 on ATT. It has Spen features, stock camera and even some TW designs on pop up Windows. HOWEVER, this was only possible because miui (or at least that build of miui) has a TW base on it. Therefore including certain files that allow the use of stock features. So in conclusion you cannot flash stock camera on any custom AOSP, AOKP, CM rom unless the dev or community has included the files necessary for the feature to work on said rom

[Q] Camera Problem with Custom Roms

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] Camera Issue after reverting to stock

HTC M8 international .. rooted and installed CM11 for 3 weeks .. i decided to revert back to i flashed latest stock the problem is the camera quality sucks so blurry same as it was on cm11 .. i compared with another m8 .. i definitely have problem with mine ... is there any chance that cm11 did something with the camera firmware ? i flashed 2 stock roms with same problem ?
is there any way to flash camera firmware or something ?
So you noticed that the camera was blurry, suspected it was CM11, ruled out that it was CM11 by flashing stock, and now you're still asking if it was CM11?
I'll ask you a question: Do you think it's possible it wasn't caused by CM11?

Challenge you to fix this issue. REALLY!

ISSUE: Rotation not locking in Landscape mode
My device was rooted and I tried whatever Lollipop 5.1 ROMs are available even with different Kernels. Still I wasn't able to fix the rotation not locking in Landscape mode. I asked many people for help but sadly nothing helped. Everybody said this is a model specific issue. Now finally I'm back in the stock ROM [Android version: 4.4.2/NO ROOT/STOCK RECOVERY]. I don’t know what affected that issue, Bootloader? Kernel? But I deliberately want to stay on the stock 5.1 experience.
Somebody please look into this issue.
Thanks
Have you tried Stock 5.0.2?
And it COULD be an app preventing the tablet from staying in landscape mode. Did you install anything when trying the 5.1 custom roms?
And just to be sure: With Stock KitKat everything works as it should?

I was using actually Candy5 earlier version which was based on the 5.0.2. But when 5.1 is available who wants to go back ;P
Apps are not causing this issue because I tried flashing just the CM12.1 even without gapps, this issue persists. I doubt this is related to modem.img since it's a device specific issue.
Any ideas to fix this?
It would be interesting to test if the issue persists with stock 5.0.2 on your tablet. If it is, it could be a hardware defect. Maybe the gyroscope is faulty.

For your information I was using this ROM(aosp_v500-ota-eng.adrianomartins_5.1.1_r1_20150422) for a while and the rotation was perfect even from the first boot itself. But I was not satisfied with the battery life of this ROM. So I decided to try any other 5.1 ROMS like CM12 or Candy5. But they all have this issue. So not a hardware issue confirmed.

So it seems to be a problem with CM based roms (as Candy 5). I'm out now...
Hey! I have the same issue on CM 12.1. I would LOVE a fix for his because I use landscape rotation lock a lot. The only help I can give is I noticed it started on 5.1. On 5.0, it was fine.

I have reported this issue in many threads they all either ignore this issue or fail in solving this.
Yeah it's an annoyance but not one big enough to sway me from CM. I really need it fixed though.
