I tried to download third party camera app called manual camera, but when I started to capture a photo it seems that it doesnt work. The app automatically closes. I don't know what is the reason behind this. I would appreciate any help. As I really wanted to indulge with manual controls.
The app might not be compatible with your android version.

I run a test using their app called Manual Camera Compatibility. All is good. But still cant capture a photo.
I use it with no issue (7..0), try cleaning cache..
On 6.0 and now on 7.0 Manual camera is working without any issue. Try to clean cache of app.
I tried to re-download it. Still, the same thing happened.
Get manual camera v 3.6 works fine
Still doesn't work for me. Even the AZ Camera app is not working. I have no idea why, Camera FV-5 Lite works fine, but i just don't like the ui. It lags at some point.
Update your app... The new version has fixed the bug...

Hi Everyone,
As many of are having problem with G-Sensor (including myself) and heat method appears to be hit and miss.
One of the biggest problem for me is camera stopped working on Sense5 ROM.
Only workaround I found so far for Sense 5 ROM is to use alternative Camera app which doesn’t rely on G-Sensor.
ROM-
CM10.2- Works fine even without G-Sensor working.
Sense 5 – Camera doesn’t work so
Alternative camera what worked for me on Sense-5-
So far I found “ProCapture Free” and QuickSnap” seems to work however
ProCapture Free- only allows 3.2MP
QuickSnap- is too basic.
I’ve also tried installing and flashing native Android 4.3 camera. Unfortunately it FC every time I open it.
Can someone suggest a good camera that would
Works on Sense 5 ROM
Doesn’t rely on G-Sensor
Allows full 8MP
Some or lots of features (like sense 5, native android 4.3 or CM camera)
I would really appreciate any suggestion / advice.

I think the camera quality isn't a hardware problem but a software one. E.g. in darkness the camera doesn´t turn on the light when focussing.
In system/lib/hw is a file (camera.msm.8960.so) which should be changed but i'm not able to do this. There must be played with the values. Some clever guys did this in for other phones before.
My phone before was the LG 2x and in that forum they raised quality above 200% of the original one.
I attache the file to work with. Maybe here are some insiders too.
...the only problem is that the camera does not focus when the flash comes in darkness. Or it focuses too early or too late. When you turn on the flashlight on the phone permanently and take a photo, everything is fine. The problem is in CM 10.1 and 10.2.
Isn´t here somebody who knows a trick?

In focal camera you have the option to turn on flash as a torch. I turn it on then take a picture. That fixed for me but I have to agree. The camera quality is bad. Something must be done.
Just use a 3rd party camera app.

I tried some 3rd party apps but that didn't solve the problem that the camera doesn't focus when using the flash. This seems not to be an app problem, it's in the files from the rom like I attached above.
Or do you have a suggestion for an app that solves the problem with focus in darkness?

Hmmm...as for me I don't have that issue. I am using Epsilon V3 ROM by core720, which is based on stock. For camera app, I use snap camera hdr and the new focal camera.

Ok, I tried that rom which is very great, very smooth. Nice. But the camera is still not focussing right with the stock cam or snap camera hdr in darkness at my side. It surely is not an app problem...
Am sorry if this appears to be a noob, or even silly, question.
I have been trying some custom ROMs (all based on 4.2), and somehow, the camera app isnt working perfectly/smoothly on the ROMs with which I am otherwise completely happy with.
So, I was just wondering if its possible to to have an installable camera app from the stock ICS ROM??

What you mean "perfectly/smoothly"?
Have you tried camera ics from play store?

Camera app FCs once every 10-12 times I open the app. When "working", only the still camera and video recorder modes work. Selecting he Panorama mode or the other mode (sorry I know/cant remember the name) FCs the app and gives me a "Gallery FC" error message.
If you're using ROM with LiteKernel, the problem of FC-ing when open camera app is inside the kernel, not app. Especially if your whole phone sometimes becomes laggy and crashes when you open camera app.
I'm using Camera FV-5 (it's great), so, can't help with your question, but try stock kernel at first: link and see if the issue persists.
The latest google camera from play store isn't supported, so stick to default CM one or some other alternative.
Hey, I can't seem to find any lollipop 5.0 rom that has a working stock camera and working Instagram/Snapchat cameras. Does anyone know of one? Just wondering if maybe I missed some less well known roms.
I have cyanide l installed on my t999l. I used ROM toolbox to freeze the stock camera and then downloaded "Camera for Android" from the play store. Snapchat is working fine. I'm not sure about instagram. The lock screen camera slide is even working with this app.
Cameramx is also working fine in video and photo mode, availeble in playstore

I'm assuming you mean that you are able to open the 3rd party camera apps or snapchat without force closures or "cant connect to camera" errors has working since as far as I am aware, we cannot record video at all on any d2 variant devices running lollipop at the moment. If I'm mistaken please let me know cause i would gladly love being able to record with any camera running lp.
HI everybody,
K this camera apk was pulled from the MIUI rom port while doing extensive testing of the rom it's self just to see how the rom did. While doing this I noted with the camera all issues we have on the cm and nexus based roms are non existent on the MIUI camera, but the camera does have issues.
1. It has two issues one when it takes a photo's with the rear facing camera it saves it upside down for some reason
2. second issue i found is when you go to the front facing camera it glitches in the transition and you half to close it out and restart and then it'll be on the front facing camera and you half to do the same to get back to the rear facing camera NOTE: the front facing camera does not flip the image
Now initially I thought this might of been the miui rom its self so I grabbed the camera apk and jumped to the Nexus rom and IT WORKS. I currently use this camera as my daily driver despite its issues and even though I have purchased the Snap Camera, I just prefer the MIUI camera...
I would note I ran a search on the camera apk files name and found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/development/mod-oppocamera-settings-timer-scene-t3003030 I tried the zips they have and they don't seem to work on our phone.
Also I did not know who to credit for this. I'm sorry for that; if some one know's who pm me or comment. Thanks
personally i find 'BlueCam' delivers better photos than the MIUI, the only features that don't work is manual focus but the auto focus does a fine job and it has torch mode to take care of night photos which gets over the flash problem, its also free on the app store.

true that, I'm thinking it should be very possible for an app to utilize an existing camera app to take the picture and then parse it, if background elements are an issue a crop tool can be built it. I'll look into it after this coming week and see if i can come up with something. Won't be perfect but it'll be better than nothing

Regarding barcode scanning... it is not as seemless as barcode scanner or google goggles, but I had good success with QR droid which can use an existing picture to read a barcode.

That's what I'm getting at, if its possible to read from an image then it should be possible to have your camera take a snap shot, save it has an ordinary image and then have an app interpret it. At least in theory, I don't know how feasable it is yet
I use this camera app from f-droid app store its free and open source and also works well with flash
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=camera&fdid=com.simplemobiletools.camera
Tried it with latest lineage os by ggow. Focus is fast and pictures are coming up great. There is no manual controls but this app is better than stock or Google camera app in my opinion anyway. Camera button also works to activate this app and to take snaps with. Developer also has gallery app in f-droid if you want to give it a spin.

The camera from F-droid is very limited and it does not work with flash. It works in a sense that flash can be permanently turned on and used as a light. The oppo camera however seems to work correctly. The only problem I encountered is switching between front and rear camera. Seems like usable camera to use when you need flash support. Otherwise open camera app is good and full featured app.

I find oppo camera good but pictures for not known reason turn out upside down - I really don't fancy switching them back manually.
Another good app is camera HDR. As mentioned in CyanogenMod description it just work well.
thanks. really nice. flash light photos works fine.
