Stock roms work fine for D415. Any CM12/12.1 ROM or ROMs based on those has an issue where the rear camera is unable to change the focus. Far pictures look so-so, the quality suffers, but anything up close is blurry and horrible. Can't read most text from pictures.
I'm pretty sure it is a known issue and only affects D415 but I'm hoping someone smarter than me can take a shot at fixing it. This thing with CM12.1 is my daily driver otherwise, but picture quality has become super important since I started needing to do CamScanner docs for work.

Hi all,
Sorry to have to post again I have been having great difficulty getting good pictures with the front camera, the weird thing is that when taking the picture it seems a little grainy as you would expect from a 2mp but after the photo has been taken they then change and look really fake looking like I'm made of play dough. I've tried turning all the extras off and it's still happening, help?
Bit of an update, my friend advised me to try getting snapchat as that capture the image straight away and it doesn't go through any processing and yes it's true the pictures taken using this are better.
Is there any camera app that doesnt do the processing as this is what seems to be ruining my pictures. I have tried the stock app, instagram and also pixlr.
Hi,
I have an HTC Vivid running albinoman887's CM11 4/24/14 nightly, and the 4/26a PA GApps. Everything seems to run smoothly except for the fact that the latest Google Camera update force closes, so I cannot use that app at all to take pictures or shoot video. I haven't yet found a way to revert to the older version so on a side note if someone can point me to that APK I'd be greatly appreciative.
At any rate, other camera apps like A Better Camera and CameraMX do a great job of taking still photos, but neither one will invoke the video recording function. I have updated to the latest nightly of both CM11 and PA GApps, and the reason why I'm on the older versions is because the newer builds caused problems, so I clean flashed back to the older ones.
I downloaded a couple of diagnostic apps and neither one seems to indicate the presence of video recording function. I don't know if that's normal for those apps or if there's some damaged hardware involved. I don't want to go all the way back to stock to test that theory, so if anyone has had any similar problems or has some insight to offer, I'd really appreciate it. The lack of video recording is not a backbreaker for me, but it's one of those minor annoyances that I absolutely hate - kind of like a wart. TIA for any help you can offer.

Yeah, I had the same problem with video on the older nightlies. I am now on 5/7 build and video works great using any of several different cameras.
I have CM13, loving it but every camera app I try has some quirks. I don't want something too complex.
The stock CM13 camera takes very blurry low quality pictures. Not sure what I can do to fix it.
Open Camera takes good pictures, but I don't really like the interface.
I installed the moto camera. I like it, but often when I swipe left to see my pictures the app freezes. When I can look at the pictures they look good.
What camera apps are out there, that work properly and have interface similar to the CM camera?
Or even better how do I fix the CM camera?
A better camera is good but you need to buy it (otherwise it's very annoying)
I've just bought k20 pro and I noticed the snapchat camera is always zoomed in compared to stock or google camera, is there a way to fix that or am I missing something, because I use snapchat camera way more than stock one and the picture quality in that suffers due to zoom issue
Snapchat does not works well in an android because of lots of other android phones with different screen sizes, chipsets, cameras, etc and the its is not actually zoomed it is stretched due to full screen aspect ratio and quality is **** than stock camera all you can do is use filters or buy an iphone

It's all because external apps in android don't use hardware camera implementation, instead they are using preview from recording view. There is no way for you to fix it, but app developers can just change implementation. Hovewer they won't probably do it, as there are too much different devices running android.
It's not zoomed in. Keep in mind that you're comparing 4:3 to something like 16:9 to 18:9. It cuts off the sides, which makes it look like it's zoomed in, but it's not.
Nothing can be done. Snapchat, Instagram etc uses the screen capture of the view finder,so the quality of the pics will be trash. To get optimized and good results go for iPhone.(any variant)
I found a lot of 'ports' but none worked properly,always had issues,most of the time crashing after taking a photo and such. I found a more "stable" version on infofull which works fine but seems like config has issues and camera looks really laggy when using even tho it works fine. Default camera literally sucks so bad I have to find something as replacement (suggestions if not Gcam?).
Or is there a way to fix default camera.. It has a lot of grain/noise if you take a photo inside or if it doesn't have a lot of light.. S6 cam looks superior compared to it
