So I tried LineageOS on my Moto G4 Plus and I was going to keep it until I had an extremely big issue with the camera... Every time I took a picture, no apps could read it. I tried other camera apps and the same issue happened. For a while, Open Camera was working fine but then it had the same issue too. What would happen is it would show the image for a second and then change to gray. On Google Photos it would just load forever. Instagram wouldn't even let me tap on the images. Eventually I reflashed the stock Nougat rom back on my phone and well, everything works. Has this happened to anyone else and is there a solution? If so I would love to know so I can retry LineageOS
Quick Note! I tried Resurrection Remix (which is based on LineageOS) and I had no problem with the camera...

Getting a weird one. When I am video'ing, and I try to zoom in, the camera then crashes with "Unfortunately, the camera has stopped". I have tried with Google Camera, which I have installed, and the zoom seems to work fine, but I would rather use the LG G3 camera app. The zoom works fine when not recording, and when taking stills, but only crashes when actually recording
I have tried a full factory reset, and even waited till the next OTA was released (v10i), hoping that a new ROM would fix this, but still having the same problem
Yesterday, when showing someone the issue, the zoom was working ... which confused me, but then later on during the day, had to reboot the phone. Went to show my partner last night that it was working, and it was crashing again. This morning tried to zoom, and yep, it seems to be working today
This has really got me stumped. If it was hardware, you would expect it all the time, and for it to fail on other 3rd party apps. I like the stock app, but cannot use it as my default in case I have the zoom issue, and therefore lose what I am videoing
Anybody have any ideas on this?
The phone is stock, LG-D855 and running V10i-EUR-XX
Has nobody else had this issue, or any ideas how to resolve?
I don't know what's happened, seemingly over night my camera no longer works. I was running Cloudy 2.5 and I wiped it and installed CM12, still no luck. Now I've got it running PA and STILL the camera refuses to work in any apps. I installed FV-5 camera and it just crashes when I launches it. Snapchat tells me to restart the phone but after a few attemps, I can get the front camera to work. I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem as I've flashed new ROMS etc. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
edit: I just installed and launched Snapchat again and when I switched from the front camera to the back, it worked for half a second and then froze. Restarted the app and now it seems to be working.

I had this issue on my g2 all roms nogo so i flashed back stock kdz and it worked then flashed all same romsa again and it actually work so im asuming it was some stupid issue from the factory. But mine done it from the start on stock rom i thought it was a hardware issue it was a warantie replacement i didnt know i had the pbone for about a week and went to take a pic and bam so like i said i tried many roms nogo a fresh new tot
I'll give it a go because it still seems broken. It's working sometimes, but in snap chat the image is flipped upside down and there's a purple tint. Exiting the app and opening it again fixes it, but most of the time it's not working.
This happened to me, but on a different device - it's a CM bug. You could download an app called "restart camera" by temasek from playstore to see if it helps.

Mine was on a ls980 sprint g2 and a stock. And stock based roms never tried cm really
I have LG G3 *D855*... My phone worked fine and fast 2 and half years, no problem, warranty after 2 years was over, but I even didnt think about other phone, because I realy like LG G3 and there is nothing very better created yet + I used mobile case and phone is in perfect condition. Ok, after 2,5 years, phone never was swiped, it was overloaded with files, photos, apps... One day, camera start crashing and sometimes I got some lagz. I decided to root the phone, installed Cloudy 3G, camera worked only first 10mins, then crashed like in stock version. I found one flashable file, called camera fix lgg3... It fixed camera, no lagz on camera, no problem with crashing, flashlight worked, everything was fine. But damn, that Cloudy3G was so unstabble, sometimes phone freezed for a while, sometimes it restarted itself, sometimes apps crashed, like facebook, whatsup and other... But... The biggest deal was with battery... Battery drain was awfully high... If phone was in standby mode, battery taked only one day, but... If I used any app or just watched videos on youtube, I was able to see how % was dropping in minutes. It was like 1 min = 1-2% gone. So, I flashed CM14... Nice mod, I liked, takked few hours to know the mode and customize it for my needs. Camera worked first day, then crashed again... Actualy... It worked sometimes, like 1 time from 10 attempts with phone restart. But, for short time, sometimes 1min, sometimes 30mins. I didnt find any fix, cause that first fix was only for stock camera version... Decided to flash other rom... Fulmics was next, worked fine, mode is cool, stable, battery life is very good, almost like stock version. Camera worked for 2 days, then the same problem... Cannot connect to camera or camera is busy...
From starting, I was able to get into camera by restarting phone, but after few days, no restarts helped.
What I can do now? Any suggestions? Ohh, and sometimes camera is purple and shows upsidedown, before crashing.
All, what I can imagine to do, is try another ROM or try to swipe everything and get back to original stock version. But its not so difficult like installing custom roms. So, it will help or somebody has other solution?
Hello!
I have an annoying issue with my op3.
I am on official cm13 nightly builds, which I flash around once a week.
since some time I have the problem that the camera causes my phone to freeze for some time, which usually needs a hard reset to get it fixed. happens around 4-6x per week.
this happens mostly in Telegram (because I use it A LOT) when I try to attach anything. in that attach menu is a tiny camera preview, which I think is the problem here.
but that is not limited to Telegram. it can happen in basically every app which uses the cam.
I thought it's maybe from my dirty flashings over the last months, so I did a clean flash with cm-13.0-20161022-NIGHTLY-oneplus3 yesterday.
additionally I flashed:
open_gapps-arm64-6.0-stock-20161026
SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115
xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64
after reboot I reinstalled most apps using Titanium Backup.
and guess what? the problem is still there!
does anyone have an idea what could cause this?
The stock camera has always been terrible. Use Footej or some other third-party app (Footej gives far better image quality than the stock app).
I also have that with the latest snapshot. Not only with the stock camera. Any app that uses the camera makes the phone to freeze. Sometimes it works again after a while but the lockscreen/Taskbar resets.
I had my htc one M8 running the htc stock Android 6.0.1 perfectly. Some day I decided to install lineage-14.1-20170109-UNOFFICIAL-m8 wich is Android 7.1.1 for htc one m8, and at the begining every thing runs fine except the rear camera. When I opened the camera application (the AOSP app, the HTC app, whichever camera app) I realized that the camera dealyed a bit to auto focus, after that I could take photos. Eventually the auto focus delays more and more, and now the rear camera never get focus, the image in the camera application shakes indefinitely trying to focus. Another weird thing is that the phone emits a sound when I have the camera application opened, I hear the sound specifically in the region around the rear camera, it's like a repeatedly click. All these problems occur with the rear camera, the front camera works fine. When I first get this problem I flash back my htc stock ROM, to verify if the problem was physically of the camera, but with the stock ROM everything works fine, then I flashed again the same LineageOS version, and the problem starts again, I thought that could be the LineageOS ROM that I was using, and I tested other ROM, this time the lineage-14.1-20170309-nightly-m8-signed, and the problem continues. Right now I had the first LineageOS ROM installed, the one in which all started, and I have not idea what's going on.
If anyone have any idea please leave a comment.
(Sorry for my bad english)
Thanks in advance.

Alright, this is starting to drive me crazy, it follows me to every ROM I try.
The camera...it just sucks. I'm currently on ExperienceOS, and loving it, but I've had this issue on FreedomOS, Lineage, Resurrection Remix, and OwnROM. Anything other than the default "camera" app, just plain can't use the camera. It's terrible. Snapchat, mobile check deposits in my banking app, scanning apps, really anything that uses the camera except, again, the actual camera app on the phone, has awful quality. It'll focus the background, and everything in the background is crystal clear...but no matter what I do (angling, tap to focus, pulling phone back and pushing it closer to try and re-focus it), my phone will NOT focus on the foreground.
I can't be the only person having this issue, and I really don't think it's a hardware issue. I think it's probably something more to do with firmware, although I am on the latest firmware and have flashed back to stock OOS before coming back to ExperienceOS.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? It's making this phone not fun to use. I went back to my Nexus 6P for a bit, until it died at 24% battery, reminding me why I switched away from it. This camera bug is literally the only issue/complaint I have about this phone. Please help...
P.S. - Rooted using Magisk, flashed ElementalX kernel (I've tried sticking with the stock kernel, and using other kernels, so I don't think it's a kernel problem), and I've tested it with many different apps that use the camera...everything but the camera app is fine.
