I installed xposed and a number of modules on my Galaxy S3 running 4.4.2. Since doing so, my camera & video won't work. When I press the camera icon, some of the camera settings appear on top left of screen (see pic attached). If I press button while lens is flat on table, I get more settings buttons, including the camera/video mode switch & the button to take pic with (see pic), but nothing works. Can't move switch to video from camera mode, & can't take pic even lying flat on table. Any ideas what I can do to fix?
Can I isolate problem module by freezing apps/modules using Titanium to see if camera will work doing so? Thanks for any help!
I went ahead and froze xposed and and all the other modules I had installed (approximately 12 modules) and now my camera works again! So, I guess I will reinstall the main modules - Wanam Xposed; Wanam Installer; and then add all the modules one-by-one until I find the module causing the problem. I'll report back here when I find the module causing the problem.

Hey XDA lovers!
There's this minor annoyance that I'm facing. And with minor, I mean a First-World-Problem BIG annoyance.
You see, I never use the Superior Auto mode of the Xperia Z1. Instead I love shooting at Manual mode with ISO around 50 to 200. Superior Auto always cranks the ISO up to infinity, it seems. The fastest way for me to get to Manual Mode now, is through a shortcut I placed on my homescreen. So to shoot, I have to unlock the device, possibly press the home button, wait and click on the shortcut. The other option is to use the camera quick launch, press the button in the lower right corner before it freezes (happens too often) and then click Manual. Both are equally tiring, considering you can already launch the camera with one press of the shutter button!
So I'm asking the experienced modders on XDA: is there a way to redirect the quick launch shortcut to open the Manual Mode of the camera? Obviously this should require root, which isn't a problem. Is this idea even possible?
Thanks in advance for thinking with me! :cyclops:
(and while we're at it, is it even possible to place the ISO setting in the hotbar so it's just one click away instead of having to dig through the menu? Hmm, I suppose not)
I haven't found a way to do this yet. Manual mode possibly can't be launched with quick launch, but the 8MP can be modified to 15MP or 20MP in Superior Auto mode, with Xposed module called "20MP Superior Auto". In Xposed Installer, go to Downloads, and search this module. But to make it work, you have to enable it in Xposed Installer, select an appropriate option in "20MP Superior Auto" , and after restart, you have to check and uncheck an option in the superior auto setting (any option), and then the mod will work! I've got Xperia Z1C and it works, I tested (even with the 4k and 120FPS also).
Hope it helps !
I'm not a huge Xposed user, but I do appreciate some of the tweaks available. I was looking for a thread talking about which modules work with our base 39A and the Xposed alpha and didn't find one, so I started a new thread. I figure this thread will be useless in a while after all the usual modules get updated, but until then maybe it will help someone out, or at least give us a place to talk about Xposed as it pertains to the VS980 + 39a base (outside of z3pp3lin's thread). For clarification, I'm currently using the Lollipop Extreme v1.1 rom (Base: VS980 Lollipop 39a, Kernel: 39a thanks to xdabebb).
Module: G3TweaksBox 1.4BETA3
Options I tried that worked:
Lockscreen -> enable rotation. Worked but I don't think I will use it.
Call -> Enable call recording. I tested this and it worked quite well.
Sound -> Disable Safety Headset volume. Worked when I tested it.
LG Launcher -> Custom grid size. This worked but I use Nova, so I don't really care. I set it to 6x5 and icon fonts were cut-off badly even with my nav bar being pretty small. It needs margin sizing like Nova has.
LG Launcher -> Enable LG launcher's hidden settings. This worked. I tried several settings and most of them seemed to work except I couldn't get it to rotate in landscape, nor could I reduce the margins or make the icons labels not cut-off @ 6x5 grid
Misc -> Enable all rotation angles. Works well. I was missing the 180° rotation a couple times lately.
Misc -> More items in Power Menu. This worked. I don't like how the torch works though because to turn the torch off you have to hold power again to get to the menu. I often use torch for just a couple seconds, looking around in the dark as to not wake my wife and stuff, so I want it to be quicker (see next bullet item).
Misc -> Volume Up and Down actions. These only work if the LG-default option for Shortcut Keys = on. However, the G3TB settings seem to over-ride the default option of vol-up = QuickMemo so that's good (I set it to "toggle torch" and it works well enough for me to disable the Xposed Torch module listed below). I tried setting vol-down to camera or xcam and they both result in freeze + reboot, then I realized just set it to "stock" and it will launch the camera, which it did successfully.
Options I tried that failed:
Misc -> Enable 4-way reboot menu. This didn't work for me. I don't ever use that power menu anyway - I use Widgetsoid with a reboot button that prompts when you touch it and works to get into recovery.
That's all I tested in G3TweaksBox. I'm sure other options work as well.
Module: Force Immersive Mode
Tested with NCAA March Madness Live (just a recent one that I know didn't go immersive when it really REALLY should) and it worked beautifully.
Module: Amplify
I've never actually used this before, but noticed it was updated for L so I gave it a shot. Looks like it works well and I might actually use it. The interface is nice. Gotta fight those wakelocks and stuff!
Module: BubbleUPnP
Holy crap this app is awesome. I've never used it before, though I have dabbled in Plex / UPnP streaming in my house since I have a networked AVR in my main theater / gaming room. I didn't think I would have a need for this app when I first read it, mainly because I don't have much media on my phone ever. It would be useful to access pics and videos on my phone over the network perhaps. But now I see how BubbleUPnP will stream from PC's and other devices on my network, Google Music (almost all of my music is uploaded here and I stream it when I get tired of SiriusXM + PandoraOne), DropBox, box, OneDrive, etc. And it has a plethora of options to control stuff, which I always desire. I haven't tested the limitations of the free version, but I might have to buy the pro version eventually. Initially, I just played some of the choir boy sounds to my Yamaha AVR, which showed up right away as a renderer. Then I was impressed with the Google Music integration. UPnP is cool stuff. I just fired up MediaMonkey on my PC and I see BubbleUPnP as an available renderer. I don't have a use for some of these things, but I love having and knowing about options.
Module: Fix Lollipop Memory Leak
Not sure if we need this or not, but I enabled it. How do I tell if it works or not?
Module: Xposed Torch
Works well but I disabled it because I can access torch with LCD off via G3TB module and I can toggle the torch while LCD=on via Widgetsoid.
Module: Lollipop Power Menu
Didn't work for me. I turned on a few of the options and rebooted, then realized G3TweaksBox is probably interfering so I disabled the additional power button items in G3TB and rebooted. Still didn't work. Maybe it would work with G3TB disabled completely but I wasn't willing to try.
That's all I've tested so far. I'm very happy with my G2 even though I am feeling the cons of using ART (slower app installs and boot-up time).
Snapprefs for Snapchat works for me.
Some GravityBox settings work too, like Allow all rotations.
I like using Greenify and YouTube adaway.

This app has old style portrait mode that requires moving phone upwards after shot, it's nothing fancy since this was avielable since like 2.5

enable the new portrait mode from b-s-g mod settings. It will switch lens blur
Portrait mode does not work. Only displays the icon on the screen.
How do you get this APP worked?
I'm on LineageOS 14.1, already added "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" with a magisk module, and 'getprop | grep camera' shows it's enabled, but the APP you provided still keeps force stopping. neither can Camera2 Probe from playstore detects any information about Camera2 API.
Could you please give some advice on my issue? Thank.
BTW, I see GCAM 5.1 is for 8.0+, so are you on LineageOS 15.1?
Update: Seems something's wrong with my ROM... It works now, but can you use HDR+? Which profile did you select?
Update 2: Camera is broken if I add "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1", even AIDA64 can't detect the camera, so forget about Camera2 API...
I see no HDR option, does that mean HDR is just automatically on or that it hasnt' been added in yet?
Keep up the good work!

Portrait mod requires camera2api enabled. Almost of the moto doesn't have it enabled by default except those with OS 7.1+.
Try with latest custom rom.
Check this thread as well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/gcam-moto-z-play-t3711826/amp/
Its showing app doesn't compatible with your device ..I am using AOSP ext 7.1.2
Works on stock 7.0 for photos. Had to lower to 720p for video. Would be nice to get 1080p working for video.
As mentioned by others; can't find HDR(+).
Installed the latest APK on my Moto X that is running stock 7.0.0. I can get portrait mode to work by switching the camera from back to front to back.
I read a few threads about the modded camera app and dont see how to enable Camera2API. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Is there an option to have Pics saved directly to the SD card? I dont see it under "settings"
EDIT2: Looks like I need to edit build.prop and enable "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
EDIT3: After editing the build.prop, the Camera app stopped working. It just showed a black screen.
Non of them support HDR.. I'm sticking with Moto Camera.
Not work on Moto X Play
Not work on Moto X Play why??????
I have tried almost all available Google Camera mods but none work perfectly like Camera NX or the default Google Camera.
The stock Moto Camera is not great either.
The HDRs on the GCam Mods never seem get it right.
Kindly advise.
Hopefully linking apks on drive is ok, but this is the one I use. HDR+ works well, and the auto feature activates appropriately (some versions would automatically enable HDR+ when needed). Only issue I've found is there's a fair bit of noise in some darker shots. Video seems to work fine but slow motion just records at normal rate.
If you want to quickly access GCAM searching for "double tap power button" in settings allows you to enable the feature. For some reason Moto hid the option so it doesn't appear unless you search.

There's a couple images here i took with the APK https://m.imgur.com/a/ArqdU
Has anyone found the best gcam mod version, which works perfectly out of the box, that could replace the default sony camera app?
Or propose the best combo (gcam mod version+setting) with links for our device?
gcam works perfectly with 10IV but the issue currently is that it has a green tint afterwards
feux here[1] mentions the MSG 8.1 one, which I use currently, but to enable the 1.0 camera you have to do the following:
Go to the camera settings -> modules, tap the "White List" button and enter "4", then tap the "Black List" button than enter "0", then restart the camera app .
After that everything works good.
