Hi all, decided to finally google my issue i have with my LG G4 camera [seems its a wider problem and lots have it. [Constantly autofocusing when using video, photos or even snapchat, especially when videoing something you can hear the autofocusing really loudly, same with using the torch app too]. Also im not sure which or what CFW i have on but i was wondering how i would go about refreshing it all [android ver = 6.0, kernal = 3.10.84] I have bootloader unlocked etc.......honestly ill i admit i remember it all being a pain, complicated n took me about half a day lol
Basically is it easy to fresh, wip start over with a newer CFW?
Is the camera hardware or sofatware? [I had sent it off to LG prior to CFW it]
thanks in advance

Hello all,
First post, sorry its a question..
The back camera on M8 is making strange pictures, if any at all (see attachment).
Front camera is working fine.
Got my M8 for 1 year now, never had problems with the camera.
mm-qcamera-daemon is running high on batt usage.
Stock camera app will most of the time open and then close again, sometimes i can make strange pictures like above.
I don't have an other camera app running
It's rooted and i'm running
InsertCoin version 3.0.8
Android 4.4.2
HTC sense v6.0
HTC SDK API 6.17
I do know there are a lot of updates from the above versions. But its running so wel all these time that i don't need a upgrade (still up to 5 days on a full batt :good
I did clear the cache from the camera app, I don't have lastpass installed.
Does anyone seen a picture like this (except from a good/bad trip)? And how did they fix it.
All input is appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.
One of two things is going on. Either the camera module has gone bad OR you dont have the correct software to run the camera or that software has gone corrupt.
I see your running a custom rom so my suggestion would be go back to complete stock and re-test. If it fails its a hardware issue.

Thanks for your answer.
Do you have any clue if the same software is used for the front and back camera? Front is working perfect so that would mean a hardware issue.
I will start with returning to stock, quickest way to see if it's hardware related.
The camera modules are different. Back has ultra pixel and front is a megapixel.
Since its easier to change software it makes sense to go back to complete stock for testing. Then if it still fails its probably hardware.
I'm a newbie
First of all, I would like to thank the people who did this to our ROM.
After a few days of use, I have a few minor comments, would be great if it becomes a reality
1. I've checked OTA update but not working? Is it because my equipment was root?
2. Back Buttton can switch right on Navibar?
3. Able to add LG Camera and LG Gallery okay? Because GG Cam seems not very well
4. Chrome often stop and lag when viewing pages with many photos: ((
Again, thank you for reading. Sorry about which my poor english
Hi. I can't answer all your questions, but I can address one. You can't use stock LG apps on non-stock ROMs, at least not for the camera - I don't know about the gallery but I doubt it.
Hello guys, I recently got my phone (D855) and I'd like to know a couple of stuff so I have gathered some questions that I have , so if anyone is willing to help I would be grateful. I come from a horrible experience with a Galaxy A7, good phone terrible XDA support but w.e, I know a couple of stuff but bare with me. And no hate pls .
1st)What should I know of , before rooting and installing TWRP. Like what button combinations are there . What software/Method should I use?
2nd) What risks are there? I mean I've been to situations like soft-bricking and stuff , but how do I overcome them? I mean like reflashing and troubleshooting in general.
3rd)I've used custom roms in the past, and my favourite by far was Resurrection and CM. I am willing to try new stuff but I need to know whether classic stock LG functions do exist on the Custom Roms like Double Tap to Wake/Sleep , 4k and Slow-mo recording, Knock code, LED Notifications , Quick Remote etc.
4th) If I want to go back to stock, will my warranty still be working? I am asking cause Samsung used a system that recorded any 3rd-party software changed and triggered a flag so that it shows that warranty was not viable anymore.
Thanks in advance !
Hi everyone, I recently bought a new camera module for the Z1C to replace my old one which had dark spots all over it, scratched lense etc. However, with the new camera (supposedly an original sony part), I experience a strange brightness and distortion problem, with the former one being rather obvious from the attached pictures. Note the large brightness artifact on the right side of the picture (inverted L shape).
I had sent the module back to the camera supplier, they tested it on their Z1C and found no problems whatsoever, telling me it was a (supposedly well known) software bug in my phone. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any occurence of other users reporting this particular problem. Maybe you can help me out?
I have an unlocked bootloader, currently running on the most recent DstrikersZ1 Mod (Android 5.1.1), but have also tried wiping everything and going back to the latest Sony Stock without getting rid of the problem. Could still be an incompatibility issue in terms of camera module hardware revisions? Interestingly, the problem does not occur in CM or AOSP firmwares, suggesting indeed a Sony-related software issue. Still, I find it hard to believe that this cannot be fixed while remaining on Sony-based firmwares. I have tried to flash every single Camera Mod available (Z5 camera, Cyberian, and many more) plus trying many alternative Camera softwares from the Google Play store without any success.
Thank you all very much!

I can see why you're bewildered. Very strange... I would initially think hw for sure, and someone sold you a bad part, but to hear that it goes away on custom ROMs is very confusing. Anyway, personally, I think I would probably send it back and get a refund, and try a different one. Whatever the problem is, that seems like the simplest first thing to try.

Thank you for your quick feedback and sympathy! Unfortunately, they refused to give me a refund based on the fact that they could not reproduce it on their Z1C test device. I had sent them my item and requested a refund/replacement, but they (supposedly) tested my module in detail and even sent me some pictures taken with their Z1C as proof. So now they just delivered the same camera module back to me and I'm kind of stuck with it.
Not sure why they cannot see it, given that it happens for me even on a clean Sony stock firmware. In theory, the only remaining difference between their phone and mine (HW revisions aside) would be my unlocked bootloader and with it the deleted TA partition and DRM for Bravia engine. I still have a TA backup somewhere but I'm not exactly willing to relock my bootloader and to loose TWRP. On a sidenote, the EXRxTHS functional DRM "restoration" did not help with my specific problem.
As you said, the mystery really lies in why the problem is not visibile on custom ROMs. I'd love to get a glimpse on the RAW image data from the camera because I believe that an error in post-processing causes the problem on the Sony ROM. But as far as I could see from searching, there is still no way of getting RAW image data when using a Sony firmware on Z1C, right?
Guys m thinking a lot lot before rooting n installing any rom
One thing cameto n my mind that of i into any custom rom
What thing features i will losse i mean
Face unlock/camera quality /any other feature .?
OOS Camera apparently can never work right on custom ROMs, which annoys a lot of us. Basically the only reason why I'm stuck on OOS forever. You can use the Google Camera but there are a million versions and most of them have problems with Slow motion, front portrait, or some other thing. It works, but it's not perfect. It also doesn't flip the selfies like the stock camera does, which actually bothers me. So you either need to edit it before sending or just deal with it.
