[FIX] Possible fix for CM 6.1 Camera FC issues-MERGED 20101122

The fix below has been merged into the nightlies!! expect to see it on the 23rd.
If you're impatient, you can install a compiled version of the apk from recovery...
---------------
The camera issue is for ALL of cyanogenmod, not just us dinc users.
I've grabbed some of the patches that are being worked on and put some of my own work into it.
Please let me know what you find.
For me, it crashes almost every single time if I use continuous focus, but it's fine with infinity.
Screen off and on works without FC, but the camera is hard coded to not allow recording with screen off.
1. Backup
2. Flash aosp-camera-fix-v1.0.zip
3. reboot..

flashed
Just flashed, off to a meeting but will report back shortly. I would love to be able to shoot video in 720.

in to see the responses

no issues
No FC in continuous or infinity mode. Shot about 10 minutes of video in both. Screen off then on kills recording. Still no 720p recording mode though (not that this was supposed to fix that, I was just hoping).
Recap: No camera/video FC in either mode (continuous or infinity)
Thanks for this

...

To get 720 p.. Make sure quality is set to custom and file type is mpeg4, then it should show up in the settings.

Someone alert camalus!

I will be flashing this after work today! Thank you!!!

rom manager now shows build #157 (11-23) does this include both the cam and led fix?

Maybe cam fix, definitely not led fix tho.. hasn't been approved.

hi seanzer. on cm nightly build #161 - issue: when on videocam, and i turn off the screen (recording or not), when you unlock, the videocam becomes almost half the size of the screen (with the preview screen almost a quarter the size, and is now on the lower left), and it's unresponsive.

Same thing happened on my friends moto Droid 1.. i think the latest commit to the camera broke it. Try a nightly before the 24th... which only contains my camera fix. I haven't had time to test the latest nightly yet, but I will have to investigate more what happened..

thanks man. i just installed build #159 and cam is back to normal again.
on a different note: how come the vanilla cam doesn't support 8mp wide like the htc sense cam?

anyone know? is this the same with all aosp roms?.. the camera just isn't as good as the htc cam.

Fixed my Nexus One
Installed on CM 6.1 on a Nexus One, fixed the camera for photos, haven't tested the videos.
Symptoms: Camera keeps crashing after a few shots. Force Close the application and if I tried to run it I only got a blackscreen until the Force Close window appeared.
It also rebooted my phone one 2 occasions.
Installed using Rom Manager:
Install from SD
Selected .zip
Backup Rom (Yes)
Wipe (NO!!!)
Everything went smooth.
Now I'm taking pictures, modifying settings, Touch Focus, everything seems to work.
Took 20 pictures in a row and fast.
Thanks for the fix

I had high expectations on this one, I tried it but I still get FC on the camera.
I have a Magic and I am running the CM 6.1 Rom

If you look at the resolution of the 8mp wide setting on the stock sense camera, it's not actually 8mp. It's really the same as 6mp wide on the CM camera.

[Q] Camera will not start

Hello,
I have a little problem. The camera of my HTC Desire C will not start completely. When I start the camera app, on the screen I see only the two buttons for making a picture or a movie. For the rest, the screen stays black. See attached file.
Already I did a normal factory reset, but this had no result with the standard camera app. Other, new installed, photo apps had the same results: a black screen with the 2 buttons.
How can I check the camera app
Thanks,
Bernard

Hello Warrior1208,
thanks for your answer. The last option - the hardware solution - was the one. After a good press, the camera was alive again.

Mi A2 Stock Camera App

Anyone have stock camera app from stock rom for Mi A2/Mi 6x? I need it for my custom rom

This link should have it for you: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1efwL5y90eDG8ugivIJ_7wkj6LWbWQCJN
also, this is the directory it was in: /system/priv-app/MiuiCamera/MiuiCamera.apk

Thank you very much

I installed the camera app. But it shows app is not installed. And the camera app which was already present was not opening too. Any suggestions? I'm running on 8.1.0 stock rom with August security patches.
Also can I have stock camera working which has effects like mint,maze and others?
Thanks in advanced.?

I'd suggest you do a factory reset, as it sounds like there are problems with your system. I've never used any of those effects and don't know if they are available or not. Good luck.

I just restarted my phone and the camera again works. When I bought my phone the camera effects were there. But when I updated my phone with August security patch the camera effects were changed.

I'm talking about the effects that are shown in the screenshot.
Also I have a complaint about the portrait mode on my rear camera. The pictures are little dull. Again don't get me wrong I'm only talking about the portrait shots. Everything except that is working like charm. ?
I think mi A1 had better portrait shots.

Keep in mind the Mi A1 had different lenses than the A2 does. I'd bet the A1 software is exactly what the A2 is running. So the app is probably tweaked for the A1 (and other of the xiaomi line up).
The A2 is different than other phones in that the aperture of the 2 back cameras is f1.75, where the A1 has f2.2 and the 2x is f2.6. Those are **very** different than the A2.
I'd bet (hope anyway) that Xiaomi tweaks a version of the app for the A2. AND they enable cam2API and EIS! I'm sure many are disappointed in the effort needed to make those work, if you dare (I don't want a permanently rooted phone, I'd like to get the updates).

P20 Pro Camera app version

Hello everyone, I created this thread to help anyone that wants to update the camera app version through apk,
Thanks to an user from this forum I found it, camera version 305 to 312, if you have a newer version of this camera's app you can contribute with this thread sharing the new release, thanks
Enjoy https://mega.nz/#!JRIzHCiR!NJNfCfI5_IJ418EWO0kNQrI7UyJ8mrcEOw_l3uLcaxM

Thanks big time!
just need to know should i need to place the other arm folder somewhere or not as i cant find the document scan option within the camera app after updating and it says in the more tab that its already downloaded

That's happened in my camera app too, maybe you can try to move the add-ons from /data/camera folder I didnt try for now,

Build number

Hello, can you please tell me how to use these files? In the Android/data folder I can only see "com.huawei.camera" folder and inside it there is a folder called "files" and inside that one is "cameraplugins". Do I copy the folder from your archive into "cameraplugins"?

My camera effect disappeared. How do I restore them again?

its simple dont panic, just go toCamera app info and click the 3 dots in the top right corner, then click unistalls app updates, and its back to the older version.

Can anyone please tell me what's the difference between the current ( EMUI 9.1) camera version and this one? Does it offer 50x zo etc?

Only 10x zoom max with last fw. Apparently they only let the same camera do 30x zoom on the Mate 20 series. Probably artificial limitation to make the newer phone more appealing...

Someone knows what's more in the version 9.1.0.319 and 9.1.0.323

I'm in 9.1.328 os version and I have the 318 camera version.

Need to tell you all I`ve got CLT-L29 with 9.1.0.328 - and the camera got Terrible! Night-mode is atrocious, and day-time shooting worsened. Night mode now makes flat, ugly, no-life-basic photos (doesn`t matter if vivid or whatever colour mode is used), day-time pictures are dark, with worse dynamic range then before. I tried everything to go back to previous version - not possible in my experience. If anyone succeeded in downgrading the camera app version, or installing an older one, PLEASE let me know how. My phone is not rooted - cant find a way to unlock the bootloader. (I read about a possible way with disassembling the phone, but I wouldn`t do that to it).
Cheers,
P.S. - If you have a P20 Pro with older android version - do not update! - it will destroy your camera (basically the only thing you bought the phone for).

I have no issue with 328 firmware emui 9.1 and the cam, how I am in 345 firmware with a new version of camera app, working fine, you can make a factory reset or simply reset the camera app settings

You haven`t noticed. They made it gradually worse - with 8.1 it was so much better in regards of color depth, dynamic range, contrast setting, night mode contrast, light sensitivity - everything, by the time they made 9.1... it is nothing of the kind. BTW this issue is noted, A1 representative I spoke to, said Huawei were "aware" of the night-mode problem, and "wold fix it" in the next generation of updates. But I as a very keen photo-maniac, who bought this phone precisely for the camera, noticed it getting worse by every update, so I don`t truly believe they will fix it. When with 8.1 p20pro was hands down the low-light monster and had outstanding color depth, which the p30pro couldn`t reach because it lacks the monochrome camera (same goes for the nigh-mode). So even if they do something about the night-mode in future updates, for it would be made so that the camera will be smudged to produce p30pro-like (but blurrier) photos.
Otherwise - I made factory reset, probably 10 times since then, even found a way to delete the camera app with adb run tool, installed the latest version from apk-mirror - still the same (of course). Then I factory reset the phone again and again and again...
So please, when citing me, please cite me only if you found a way to answer my query and you personally managed to install a workingly-run 8.1 camera version, please. Thank you so much for your understanding and willingness to help!
Cheers!

My camera is ok too. I use night mode even during the day, sometimes, for the dramatic effect.

Interesting. What is your p20p model: C432 or C7..?

I answer you in the right way with the typical issues with the software and the cam, I don't care how many times you made factory reset, I see improvements in the cam with emui9.1, maybe your cam or phone is damage, or whatever,

Popup Camera Stuck Out!

I accidentally rebooted my phone during a messenger video call and now my pop-up camera is permanently stuck out! How do I fix this? Camera app doesn't help! Rebooting doesn't help! I am on Evolution X latest build and my phone is just a month old.
Note: the camera is working and showing selfie video. But not retracting.
Can anyone help? Really depressed here.

Yup thanks it worked!

If it happens on stock MIUI, I haven't personally checked but tapping Kernel Version brings you to a testing hardware menu. Through that you've the option to manually open or close the pop camera and also control the lights.

Do a factory reset?

Hey Guys,
There is no need to download an app or anything
Simply go to Settings-> Apps-> Manage Apps -> Camera -> Clear cache -> Clear data/storage.
Now check you camera again. Thanks!

I am using Motorola one fusion plus, and due to sudden shock while using its shake gesture the front cam got stuck. And fortunately I found your reply, I tried it and it worked for me. Now my pop up cam is working fine. Thanks!!!
