[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 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.

Any Good Lollipop Rom Not CM Based?

Whays a very good Lollipop rom that is not CM based? And one that the camera works?

God question ..... the stock camera working .. no third party camera please..

Of course there is like 20 ROM's that aren't CM based with a perfectly working camera, and they are, no where, because they don't exist. If they did, they would more than likely be posted on these forums. You get what you get for lolipop that is currently available or go buy a newer phone with it. There is no hidden ROM's or working camera that no one is not telling only you about. What's on the forum, is what it is.

Hey getochkn. So, for us T999 owners of the S3, we got to wait for a Lollipop update for other S3 variants so it can be ported to our T999.. is this right?

I doubt the S3 will get an official version. No announcements from Samsung AFAIK. CM based or nothing. LiquidSmooth lolipop is pretty good, open camera works or cymera works for me fine.

I think I'll pass on the CM based Lollipop. I'd rather use a KitKat rom with working camera than Lollipop with no cam functionality.
Btw, what do you mean by open camera?

Open Camera, it's a camera app from the play store that works fine with lolipop.

[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.

all 6.0 ROM have rotation problem? or Only my phone?

Hi there, I've try many android 6.0 ROM on my LG F180 (Korean version Optimus G). Seems like everyone of them's rotation function is not working. If I flash back to 5.X rom or kitkat roms. Then it gets back to normal. Does anyone got the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? Or I did something stupid? Thanks!

Mine is working just fine with Nitrogen OS (E975)

Hi there!
I am having these issues ever since I flashed 5.1 unofficial CM12. The rotation and auto-brightness went broken. Here's what helped recently:
- did a backup of my ROM in TWRP
- plugged the phone to a PC and got all my data properly copied, including the TWRP backup (it turned out to be essential, but that's just my fault)
- downloaded original KK firmware for my phone edition, also downloaded LGFlashTool 2014
- went back to stock using instructions from XDA
- rooted again and got TWRP recovery up and running
- did a full wipe, yes, including internal storage (yet I don't know if you need this, I just went for it)
- flashed the ROM I chose (im my case it was the CM12 backup I had cause of gapps issues with 6.0)
Don't know why but the sensors worked perfectly for me at that moment. I have broken them again by flashing another custom ROM over the CM12 and today I am going to give it another go.
Also, while browsing XDA I came across various posts stating that when you downgrade to stock or actually even another ROM based on official KK and only then flash the custom ROM it should all work again. In my case it seems like a coincidence, or the internal storage wipe worked miracles.
Good luck!

Mine is working. Did you tried the XenonHD 5.11 or the XenonHD 6.0 rom?

I did try on XenonHD 6.0 rom, but the rotation still doesn't work. All others Kit Kat or Lollipop ROM are fine for me. BTW, Are U having F180? or E975?

I've got the E975.
Did you do a full wipe?(dalvik cache , etc..)
I think you did , because you tried everything , but maybe not

I've got a massive battery drain issue with 6.0 Xenon HD. (50-70% overnight)
I've installed all the same apps as on my previous rom.(1-2% overnight)
Anyone else?

how about the camera? do you are able to do photosphere or panorama pictures with google camera app??
