A7 2017 Bugs After Nougat Update - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hello XDA community,
I recently updated my device's software to nougat via OTA. And I'm experiencing a number of bugs.
The first bug is about the launcher. After rearranging apps in the drawer and customizing the home screen. When I restarted my phone, the launcher reverted to its factory settings with Samsung Apps in the beginning of the drawer and the rest sorted alphabetically.
The second bug is regrading the selfie camera. Whenever I take a selfie with friends, it automatically blurs everything except the closest person's face to the camera. I searched in settings to change this, and found nothing.
This is really putting me off and I still have a guarantee so custom ROM isn't an option. I already tried updating the Samsung Apps and it didn't work. I heard that wiping data and cache from the recovery usually fixes issues like this, but I don't want to backup everything and wipe only to realize that nothing has changed. So could you confirm that to me?
Any elaboration on the problem is appreciated. Thank you.
UPD: I did reset the phone and the launcher issue seems to be solved. But the camera issue remains.

For the selfie issue, didn't you turn on the new camera feature that blurs the background?

I'm not going to use Sam firmware because I still have a guarantee.
No need to extract it, just backup it using backup applications like ShareIt, Share Apps, etc....
And can you upload a screenshot of the need setting? And if possible a selfie sample? I just want to be relieved.

camera version is 7.1.48 btw...

Enabling Camera 2 API on LePro3

I'm not sure if this will work on the stock ROM, or if it has any side effects, but so far it works OK on "LePro3 Google Edition by Cydras" ROM which is based on Stock 5.9.020S.
Root is required.
Edit /system/build.prop and add this at the end:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Reboot, and you can use Camera Apps that shoot in RAW mode and have manual controls for focus, ISO, shutter etc. (like AZ Camera).
Thank you! I was wondering about this!
21s not working.
I'm on the lineage OS 2-24 beta and This doesn't work for me either. Just get a black screen in camera app
Working for me on 20s as well.
Working for me on 21s turbo ROM. I didn't know if it was working before I made the edit.
Thanks anyway
You can share a few screenshots

Yep! Same old, same old1 Unfortunately this kind of behavior is not uncommon for Xiaomi! Why they need this is beyond me! Let me just say that for such a big company this is disappointing and definitely not something what give us confidence to buy their phones and other products in the future. I mean, what's the point?! You buy something and then you hope that they give you fair amount of updates on regular base?! Just around corner but never there! C'mon Xiaomi!!!

MIUI camera is grainy. The quality has gone down. Battery life is fine. Haven't seen any drain yet.
hmmm... so if i understand correctly it's not recmmended to update to this ROM if you want a good working camera. How about if i use GCam? Would this help?

Samsung Galaxy A50 July Security Update

Hello All,
Just got July Security upstate.
Not able to find any new features.
Please find the attatched screenshot for official changelog.
Do you have night mode and super slow mode options in your camera? If not, resettting your camera app to default and clearing cache should fix it.
You got July update, and I don't even have June update, I'm still on May update... Though I'm having A505FN version.
i think we got the option of super steady toggle in videos

Also, regarding your device not updating via settings, is your device a tencent version converted to WW?

Strange, it doesn't sound like you have a converted phone so OTA in settings should work. Maybe the new version isn't released yet in your country. I've checked on the global website and it's not available yet. Another reason could be that the previous owner unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. If it's still rooted the smaller OTA would most likely fail. You need to flash the full rom.
So, are you rooted - you can check your apps for magisk manager.
Also, did you buy the phone second hand?

There was a bug in Armory Crate wherein if you have a 3rd party launcher as your default launcher, then while in Armory Crate if you press back button it would always ask you to select your default launcher. That has been fixed.
