Hello there,
Recently after updating my OnePlus 7t to open beta 3 I've noticed a strange issue with the cameras. About 2 hours after every reboot camera related features start malfunctioning. I can't use face unlock, because "camera is being used by other apps", I can neither use the stock camera app because I get a toast notification saying "the camera is in use". The main back and front camera seems to be working in every other app like snapchat, gcam (although telephoto and ultrawide don't work on gcam). After reboot everything goes back to normal for some time.
I tried:
- cleaning data of all camera services and the camera app itself and face unlock app
- re-adding my face model
- uninstalling AUX camera magisk fix (which enables telephoto and ultrawide to work in gcam)
Is anyone else having this issue? Iwould love to solve this problem without reverting back to open beta 2, as it lacks some features I like in OB3. Thanks in advance for help!

I am facing the same issue with the latest beta update? Got any fix for this?
Are you sure you dont have some app spying on you. Probably using the camera thats why its being reported in use
It's caused by GCam. Not sure about stock OOS cam.

I doubt it, as the issue is only in stock Oxygen OS apps (camera, face unlock). My theory is that they use some camera service made by Oneplus which has broke in my phone. Other apps, such as Snapchat or Gcam do not utilise such service, and the main cameras work just fine in those apps (telephoto and ultrawide don't work, because they propably must be accesed via this service). But it's just my theory

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.
hi all, since i change to aosp base custom nougat. There is a very big chance the phone "cannot connect to camera". When this happen, the phone will heat up and drain the battery. I think there is a kernel error and cause camera running but unable to show anything on screen. Force close wasn't help to fix this , only reboot.
I always use bacon camera because it come with real manual mode. And the only app with it. I doubt the manual mode(api level) in the app conflict with kernel .
Now i uninstall it and use other app with standard function to keep track if Bacon camera is the root cause of this error.

Any clues? I'm experiencing the same problem, and changing rom and/or kernel does not seem to fix it. I'm using bacon camera too, and actually started considering the possibility of it being the problem. Have you discovered something about it?

Use moto camera and adjust build.prop to get the manual mode . Bacon camera is not zuk rom friendly
This happened to me while using HDR in Bacon Camera in RR 5.8.4 with Darkmoon Kernel. In my case the system detected no camera at all. Not even AIDA64 showed anything. The only possible solution is to clean reflash of whatever ROM you want (Dirty Flashing doesn't work). I tried the Bacon again on AEX but same problem after sometime. The only equivalent (better actually) I found to Bacon Camera and all its glories is the Snap Camera v8.6.0 (latest). Don't bother if it shows as gallery while installing. Best Manual Camera app I've used by far. Plus it can utilize the legacy mode of Camera2api available on our device. I'm not talking about the snapdragon camera app. This is different. It's package name is -com.marginz.snap-.

Snap camera is not a bad app. But I really don't know how to activate manual mode for this app. The only app which support manual mode and working with no bug is moto camera.

I think for anything more than manual focusing we need Camera2api. Some apps like the Moto Camera or Even Footej support Manual Modes but as far as I've tested them, the manual adjustment is not that accurate (the iso adjustment has little to no effect on the pic). However in the Image Details, the iso is marked to what we set, so many are fooled. I'm a Hobbyist Photographer and have a Good Camera so I have no requirements to take manual photos on my phone. As far as I'm concerned the Snap Camera HDR capture is the best out there yet for our phone and that's all i require out of the above average sensors in our phone. Still if you want Manual Control of Exposure and ISO, try to achieve with post production, either using snapseed or Photo Editor(The Photoshop equivalent in Android, -com.iudesk.android.photo.editor-). Honestly You won't find the difference until you scrutinize in Big Screen. For Any Social Media purposes that's more than enough.
Try the 13 august jaguar kernel and Flash the new camera blobs if the error persists.
But before that you will have to reflash the Rom by wiping dalvik cache/cache/system.
Dont wipe the Data if you need your app configuration to remain the same.
So the Google camera port featuring HDR+ isn't working on the z2 plus. Every time I launch it it says app keeps closing.
Note that im on viper is 7.1.2 and ive tried uninstalling the system camera app and turning google camera into a system app
Any solution?

Use buildprop editor and manually add camera 2 API.
I got it working on more ****ty redmi note 4x. You got bigger 1.34 pixel size why not.
It's android, it's root and make **** happen.
There's no camera2 api support for our device
I've tried many tweaks but it didn't enabled in spite of that the actual camera crashes...
Tryed to search to see if there is a gcam app yet...came up empty I think it would help the camera out a lil.s.not that it horrible.but just enjoy gcam for some reason!

crashes, I tried both.
Just leaving my comment here so i hear if there is any activity here, I tried all of the BSG and urlyk builds but viewfinder freezes after 3 seconds. Bummer, camera is really great, but falls apart in night shots
Yes same experience here. viewfinder freezes after 3 seconds. tried almost 20 different gcam from different modders. it just freezes. hopefully soon we see the working one.
Same here hopefully someone figures out how to stop it from freezing!
Try selecting Session of photo modes as EISv3/61448 or even EISv2/61444 for main lens, it might work. Try on other lenses too see if works. Of course, use a GCam that has this option, like BSG.
This works on A52s which is a new Samsung phone with similar issues as Z fold 3, such as GCam viewfinder freezing and camera not working at all while bootloader is unlocked.
Maybe these two issues regarding cameras are related!

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't work - tried both session modes.
The search continues...
It is possible that it doesn't work because of proprietary code for the under screen camera that Samsung has might just break any other app.
Don't quote me here, as I'm still looking into the whole camera situation, but I do know that there is specific code implemented for the USC in order to make photos look acceptable with a pixel layer over it.
OK, so far the only one I can get to work is the gcam go versions like https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1529/
But they are have basically no features worth installing for. But they don't freeze, so I guess it would be a starting point...
I'm not sure is this is the right forum for this but here we are I just installed lineage-18.1-20211218-nightly-alioth on my poco F3 and it works fine. feels snappy and is just an overall better experience then miui in my opinion. But is just noticed that only one of the camera's is showing up in the default camera app. So i tried multiple apps and the result was the same every time. Only one camera no wide angle or macro. Is this normal for lineage os? Or maybe a simple fix?
they must have changed the camera app recently since it used to have access to all those different cameras.
install another camera like MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVy_snap for example,i can see all of the options again in it.

Still doesnt work for me on Lineage 18.1.
I'm sorry for the late reply. But it worked for me on lineage 18.1 so thank you for the app name. I used the app from this link and downloaded the snap one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl25/
You might wanna try this if it is still nog working: (I've configured this GCam with wide and 2X Zoom but if you prefer the ultra wide - wide - macro options, You have to go to Configuration-Global- and disable Digital Zoom))
