I have the exact same problem and I've been testing differents mods of the gcam but all of them have the same problem, Im on android p

I have the same issue. Force closing the app temporarily seems to fix the issue for me.

I can't solve this even force clossing the app, i think i will use stock camera until an Update from any Gcam work well again

What OTA version do you have guys?
I was facing that problem when I was have 10.0.01
But it fixed in 10.0.02
I recommend to you guys should flash V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF and update to pie from settings.
After updating to pie hard reset could be good.
Sorry for my bad english

I think I'm in 10.0.4 but have the same problem. Could somebody find a solution? I tried by hard resetting and installing gcam again (with root), but still have this issue. :'(

Fix focus by switching to video mode the back to photo
I get this since updating to pie including the January update in any camera app that uses the camera 2 api - seems to be unable to focus, I find in gcam switching to video mode let it focus then switch back to photo mode sorts out the focus for a while, when it goes blurry I switch to video then back again and it works again, annoying but able to take lots of pictures using gcam perfectly fine apart from this.
In another note I find only some of the gcam ports even start up correctly, so still trying lots out.

yes seems to work "a bit" but you are not really sure anymore whether it's properly in focus now... sometimes it's just slightly not in focus, sometimes looks properly in focus... night mode became very hard to use now

Hello guys. I'm on stock rom on Pie with January update. I also have the same focus problem. But I just noticed that the focus works perfectly in short video mode.

You can use the 16:9 on photo mode, this fixed the focus issues on Pie for me.

I'm alway in 16:9 and for me it doesn't work. I've to say that it does it when the light is low but before it wasn't behaving like this... the only way working for me is to switch to video mode to focus and than back to camere and take quickly the pic... really you didn't notice this issue in low light? Which camere are you using? Thanks

16:9 does work much better. But is there any chance getting it work with 4:3? Why is the focus so bad there?

I solved this problm. If ur rooted simply install pixelarity module it will change ur device specifications and build no. This will fix all ur gcam problm... Thxx me later

Mi5s autofocus problem

Hi all
Got new mi5s 4gb vrsion, autofocus do not work when camera start for 10sec-1min , after that all ok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAZhf2_zmSg
Same thing on oem and eu rom ,as well as few camera apps.
Any help appreciated
Please try autofocus not on a TV, they tend to be hard to focus on. Try it outside in daylight please.
Same thing m8
First time autofocus does not wok for 1 minute, than after than when you start it, does not work for 10-15 seconds.. Works normal for close up objects right on, but for far, no.
Same thing here... Could that be a driver issue?
This issue is known in at least one custom rom. Please make sure that you run an official rom. I believe the xiaomi.eu (not official rom) is also ok.

I'm running latest dev ROM from xiaomi.eu.
I also have the same issue on lastest official China global and China dev
That's not good then Not sure if it's a hardware issue in your case. Haven't read of this issue in the English xiaomi.com forum, so there can't be many with this issue.
I have same problem (4/32GB version). My mi5s arrived today and I couldn`t believe. Now I have two questions in my head "Is that software or hardware" and "Is it possible to be fixed"
I found a workaround (IDK if this works only for me)... Just open stock camera then open and close camera settings (gear icon). The autofocus should work now!
Let me know if this works for anyone else

I have the same issue when I try to take a photo or record a video . We are a lot of people with the same error. You can check the MI5S official forum at MIUI Forum and you'll see more threads talking about the same but there's no anwser from Xiaomi yet.

I'm also looking for a fix... Maybe only a patch for stock camera app until the problem is solved by xiaomi. I'll keep you updated
When I look to /etc/camera directory I can see 3 configs files for imx378 and two specifics for two manufacturers : liteon & semco (samsung). My sensor seem to be a liteon. Could the bug be link to a specific manifacturer ? Maybe a drivers to optimize for a specific manufacturer ?
Some people say that the last EU ROM, 6.12.22, improves the autofocus. Can anyone confirm it?

For me it's the same as on 6.12.8, BUT I tried the unofficial cyanogenmod for MI5S which seems it hasn't any issues in camera autofocus
I have the same problem.
But shaking, or knocking don`t help.
Even if i wait 15-30-60 sec, autofocus don`t work.
But first 2 weeks it works perfectly.

Great mod, and thanks everyone who worked on it. Can anyone tell us what is the best settings for op5? I have put everything for pixel and the pics are really awesome, but the app is kinda laggy and crashes sometimes. Also, sometimes it gets stuck when i try to take a pic while the flash is on.

If you want to use portrait mode on objects you need to use "Lens blur", which appears after disabling portrait mode.

Camera errors any custom rom N7100

I have problem. Galaxy Note 2 with custom rom. In stock rom 4.4.2, camera works fine. But when i install a custom rom (Android 5.0 Lollipop and higher version) camera stops and other problems like can't video call in whatsapp etc. Can someone knows why and solution? Can we change ROM's camera and libraries with stock camera and libraries? I dont know maybe camera libraries wrong or have a bug. I tried many custom roms (Android 6.0.1 Beanstalk, Lineage OS 7.1.2 etc.) but camera never be good quaility without crashes. Please help me and sorry for my bad English

I tried another app and the front camera works, but not the back one. Though with the default app I couldn't even test the front one, it closed immediately.
I know for a fact the camera worked fine before flashing the custom ROM, so it's not a hw failure.
When as the last time you checked the camera with a stock ROM? I searched around and there don't seem to be many people with this issue on the note 2. Your phone's model # is gt-n7100?

Yup, GT-N7100.
Last time I checked the camera was just a few days ago. And yeah I've searched for the issue a bit as well, didn't have an luck unfortunately...
Have you tried this ROM? --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-aicp-12-1-official-nightlies-t3569395/page85
I being using it as a daily driver for months, and it's the best one I ever had for this phone.
Few times I've had camera problems, but automagically resolved just after restarting the phone.
Give it a try, and let us know it this was an acceptable solution.
Best of luck.

Google camera mod?

Hey guys, I just wanted to know does Z2 play supports Google camera with portrait mode?
I tried few apks but not even one is getting installed.
I'm using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk. Can't post the link to the site as I'm new here and the forum won't let me, but you should be able to find it by the filename.
It's based on Google Camera 5.1.018. I haven't had any luck getting newer versions to install, but that one works fine, including Portrait mode, Lens Blur and Photosphere. I had to disable video stabilisation, otherwise video recording would crash. If front camera gives a green tint, there's a setting to fix that in Advanced -> Fix Camera API2.

Do you have an older version of Google Camera installed? If so, try uninstalling it first. Also, are you on Oreo? Many GCam ports seem to require at least Oreo and won't work on Nougat.
