Just though I would ask if anyone has modded the .apk file to allow us phones without a front facing camera e.g desire to use video chat out of the back camera ?
Many thanks

would also love to have this as a fix, with there only being a few front camera phones out its hard to make good use of this but sharing video would be great this way for lots of peeps!

Skype's policy is so bad... I bet they get a lot of money for only allowing a few devices using special features. *thumbsdown*

I can confirm that... I'm on Endymion currently and i see the purple line too... approx 3-4 pixels thick.
But to be fair to instagram, they do warn when selecting the advanced camera that it does not work on all devices...
Use Camera360 with Compatibility mode.

??? Why not just use the built in stock camera???
He wants to use instagram... And only has problem with the advanced camera inside of instagram. Just disable that option and you're good to go if your stock camera is OK. No sense using a third party camera of the problem is app specific.

The problem is with camera drivers from cm or the kernel.
The stock camera app has same problem.
That's why I use camera360 which have hardware compatibility mode.

Oh ok...
Just wondering... are you talking about an ICS ROM? Or GB? I think the OP has lost interest after starting the thread, and left us here to squabble!!
If you ask me, i think this problem is app centred, and I encountered it even on Instagram running on GB 2.3.5 (I'm running Endymion - Sense 3.5) where the stock camera is the best you'll find for the Desire S on any ROM.
I'm using stock ROM. Obviously I'm aware I can disable the option of using Instagram's in-built camera, but this is not the solution I'm hoping for I love Instagram filters but I don't like the fact I have to come out of the app and open up stock Android cam app, resize it, and go back again. Using Instagram's advanced am feature is so much better.
The rest of the image is fine and the option works perfectly APART from this one really ruining fluorescent pink line down the left side of every image.

Well, that's a bug with the app... sit tight, with Instagram's growing popularity, they're bound to roll out updates with fixes to the camera anytime soon!
Regardless, there's nothing you or I could do to fix an app issue. Instagram will have to fix that.
When you still experiencing this using Instagram camera try to switch to front camera take a shot, then revert to back camera. Pink line gone now. Works for me.

nope i couldnt be bothered to be honest, i'm just waiting till they release a better update
Anyone else experience this? I sometimes have a very hard time getting the camera to focus (manually) where I can switch to instsagram and it'll be in focus. Now, I don't use Instagram often but why can it focus far easier than the stock camera app? Can anyone suggest any good alternatives, paid or otherwise?
Hi the play store has several different cameras available in it.just take a look and see which one suits your needs best. They have several really good ones. I suggest going there and see which one best suits you. I wish you the best! I'm sure you will find what your looking for there. Best wishes.

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Desire S.
I don't use the camera that much until now as previously I had a digital camera I used to use. So I'm not really sure when this started to happen.
When I use the standard App and also an app called camera zoom fx it looks fine on the viewfinder but then when I save it the image is distorted very badly.
I also tried an app called fast burst camera, which for some reason doesn't do it. However the fast burst camera resolution is not very good so want to use the default of other app.
One last thing, when the photo is taken and it shows you the image youve taken for a couple of seconds that seems fine its only when you look at the image from the gallery that the image is distorted
Anyone else come across this or know what the issue could be?
Thanks!
What Rom you use?

Hi, it's this one
RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_14.01.401.2_Radio_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_release_275068_signed
Hi i was looking for a camera with a tap to shoot mode, like the motorola one, but i can't find one =/ i tried to install every port but without success. (btw i know we can tap to shoot but it focuses on the zone you touch)
Try cameramx, just turn it on i the settings. Overall good app which invludes the live photo feature from IOS. Only thing is no 8x zoom but it does have what your looking for and its free

Thank you! that's actually a nice camera app! And with g4 tweaksbox i can actually use it with volume- in the lock screen
Edit: dam, actually the focus is a lot slower with a moving object
Got same question. Is there any real alternative ? I know there is a lot of camera apps on Play, but only stock support 4K and @120 video. Is there any port of camera from G4 or something else which work properly ? I feel slo mo would be just much better with a bit better bitrate.
