Ok so recently ive been having issues with my MTS4G (it used to work fine so i dont believe its a rom issue) - but i am running KK DS1.2 - which is awesome. I still miss the original sense based camera and as such have set out on a missin to find the best camera app--- hence i have the stock KK camera (i.e. camera) as well as following apps installed:
1) Ucam
2) Focal
3) camera zoom
4) procapture
5) camera KK
Again dont think its the rom , but for 2 weeks now (ive had rom for say several months now) , but when i switch to camcorder (stock KK camera app) mode and preess record all i see is a "halo" around the record button, at which time the video being displayed on phone (which is supposed to be recording) freezes for a second, then resumes as if it were recording. but i see no recording notice, or any timer indicating its recording and the default app (on a good day) makes 0 (zero) byte mp4 files. Not sure where to start i see that KK DS 1.3 is out, but was hoping to figure out what might be the cause of the issue.
I do see that when i press the record , the LED fires up as it used to , but it just doesn't seem to record anything.
Perhaps i have too many camera apps (was trying to compare and find best one) - but my camera with all the apps works great, but after several months of using the camcorder (in ANY app) i cant get it to work at all --- the led light comes on, but it doesn't seem to record anything.
suggestions?
EDIT: Well, I fixed it. I used Jishnu's Camera mod "return to stock" zip and it fixed things thankfully.
Thanks

When attempting to use the standard camera app on my Nexus, I get this error. I've had a Nexus 5 since launch and had NO issues whatsoever with the camera until recently. No matter what I try to do, the camera app doesn't load. Not from the lockscreen, not from the app, etc.
What's odd is that I CAN use apps like camera zoom fx or the built in snapshot feature in the facebook app for example, and the camera works then. I can also use hangouts and I've verified the front facing camera works. Oddly though, using the camera within the Google+ app crashes the camera too.
I've tried clearing cache, dalvik cache, force stop camera, disabling and re-enabling and no dice. A friend of mine postulated that it could be the HDR mode messing up. I DID have HDR active the last time the camera worked. But with no way of resetting the application/toggling the HDR switch (because the camera won't load to that point), I'm SOL.
Here is a screen cap video I took demonstrating the issue. Don't mind the artifacting at the start of the video, I'm not sure what caused that.
My current phone build is in my sig, except I'm running the most up to date Franco Kernel (iirc r37).
EVERY time I take a photo running the stock camera app, if flash is enabled (auto or manual), the phone saves a picture file a split second after the flash is back off-resulting in a dark photo saved. I have turned on an off HDR with no change (thinking it would be affecting the timing somehow).
The only way the flash is of any use is if I start to record a motion video file (with flash on the whole time) then touch the screen to capture still photos. Then the photos are lit up perfectly.
Has anyone seen this before? Any tips to fix?
I have had this issue on two Droid Maxx phones now. one unlocked bootloader downgraded to 4.2.2, the other with rooted on 4.2.2 (shipped with camera update firmware, disabled firmware upgrades on purpose to prevent 4.4)
Same thing often happens to me. It isn't every time I use the flash, but probably 75%. Once it does this crazy flash thing, then the camera no longer zooms properly until I close out of the program and reopen. It happens with the stock camera and 3rd party (camera360).
So I bought the BLUE Qiku 360 N5s and found how to Root it from GizChina.it BUT for some reason whenever I flash the root developer rom (TO ROOT PHONE) that they provided, my phones camera gets messed up. Now heres the weird thing, I bought my girlfriend the same phone but in BLACK and followed there instructions and her camera works fine. Only my phone for some unknown reason doesn't work the the freaking developer rom. Its frustrating because I want to get rid of all the CHINESE bloatware with the custom rom they provided (which works) BUT I need TWRP to flash it and I need to ROOT my phone before I can install TWRP. Some please send me some guidance cause I'm stressed and desperate!!!! THANK YOU

Hi there,
I recently bought the same phone, (Black version), and was finally able to root it after a month of struggling. Other than the camera not functioning, exactly what problems are you experiencing? You were able to fully root your GFs black version? Unlocked bootloader confirmed? Let me know. I'll give you whatever help I can.

Can you please tell me what you used to root it? Thats the only problem, after flashing the devrom the rear camera stops working and the front camera works but is grainy and all the functions for the camera stops working (flash beauty etc), I'm able to press on them but it doesn't do anything. The camera is still able to take a picture though. When I press the button to change it to the rear camera it freezes and stops working. I've tried downloading a 3rd party camera app but it doesn''t fix it eithier. Camera is still grainy on the app and the camera flip function doesn't work as well. Also I can't login to snapchat with this phone. I think its because the phone has a built in screen recorder so snapchat won't let me login. Can you help me with that as well? Thank you!!!

I unlocked the bootloader via fastboot after flashing Giz China's dev-rom. The only real roadblock to rooting it is having the developer software to bypass 360's proprietary bootloader restrictions. Once the dev-rom is flashed, you should be able to utilize all of the adb and fastboot resources as you would for a non-Chinese phone.
Now that you've described your camera problems a bit more, I have to say that it sounds like a compatibility issue. I can't be certain without testing it, but the dev-rom has a lot less bells and whistles than the stock rom, so it's quite possible that the dev-rom is missing the necessary files for running all of the extra camera filters. The dev-rom is just a temporary fix to allow you to alter the bootloader, and isn't ideal for daily use.
I recommend you try reflashing it so that you can get root access, or if you already have root access then simply flash a custom rom to replace it, and then see if your camera is still having the same issues. Don't forget that you'll need to flash SuperSU or Magisk or whatever SU app you're familiar with after flashing the rom. Also, if you try reflashing the dev-rom with 360's software, I recommend doing so via a Windows7 installation. I initially tried it via multiple Windows 10 machines and it failed horribly in all of them. It worked in a matter of minutes in each Windows7 machine though. Go figure.
GizChina also has a custom rom for the 360 n5s, not sure if you're aware of it or not. You can find it here:
ttps://rom.gizchina.it/360-n5s/
You might need to utilize Google translate if you can't read Italian .
Let me know if that helps or if you have more questions.
Yeah oddly it doesn't work with the blue phones. Only the black phone worked. I have 3 N5s's 2 are blue and 1 is black. The black one is completely fine and the two blue phones camera stops working after flashing the DevRom. I don't think theres anything I can do.

Have you tried flashing the custom ROM I suggested? There's no harm in trying. Just backup your files with TWRP, flash the custom ROM, if it works great, if not you can restore the Dev-rom and your old files.

The DevRom works and roots my phone but messes up my camera on the blue phone. The custom rom also works but it doesn't fix the problem I have with the camera... Keep in mind that I did this with a black N5s and it worked perfectly fine. But when I try it with 2 different blue N5s's they both encounter the problem with the camera. Only the black phone works properly. I have also flashed the blue phones ROM back to the manufacturers and it fixed the problem that the DevRom created with the cameras.

If that's true and the custom rom has the exact same issues running the camera filters then the only thing it could be is a lack of support built into the roms for those camera functions, or those functions are dependent on an app that has been removed from the new roms, but exists in the stock rom.
In order for either of those to be true though, it means that your black phone and your blue phone should have different camera functions, because the roms aren't changing, the only difference is your phone model (blue or black), so either you've accidentally erased something needed, or there is a series of support files that you could try installing back into the blue phone.
I wouldn't know which files though lol, you'd have to do some research. I doubt you will find much guidance on it by searching online. Your best bet would be to compare the file differences between your black phone and your blue phone to see which camera app files are on the blue one but not the black one (on the stock rom) and then try reinstalling all of those files and their support trees once you flash the dev-rom/custom-rom.
That is what I would do next if it was my phone.
Okay what about the snapchat problem where it doesn't let you login because of the built in screen recording feature in the phone?

I've also noticed that the black phones kernal version is 3.10.84 while the blue phones kernal version is 3.10.84-perf (also the snapchat problem on both blue and black n5s)
Upgraded to S7 from S5 - everything is great, except I experience one very annoying issue: many YouTube videos I download for offline viewing (have YouTube Red) start freezing after a few minutes of watching. Sometimes they freeze right away. If I clear the YouTube cache and restart the app it works for a bit and then starts freezing again (the light circle in the middle is rotating and the video keeps frozen).
No freezing happens when I watch YouTube videos over the internet. Some offline videos work fine. But some consistently do not. Never had this issue with Galaxy S5.
Here is what I tried to fix this issue:
- Wiped cache partition
- Reinstalled YouTube (disabled, updated to new version) and restarted the phone
- Enabled Developer Options and Selected Force GRU rendering - this helped a bit, but did not resolve the issue
- Turned off hardware overlays in Developer Options.
- Turned on 4x MSAA in Developer Options.
- Cleared cache in Google Play app
- Switched download storage from SD to phone to eliminate any SD issue
Any ideas?
Hello,
my only idea is that there is not much to try when app crashes, all you can really do is check in the application settings (in the system settings of the phone and then "applications") if it has all the necessary permissions, clear cache as you did but I don't think it has anything to do with developer options like forcing GPU rendering.
So, all I can think of is:
- Write to Google to explain them the bug you encounter, they might have a solution or may release a fix in a future version of the app. As you use Youtube Red, you pay for a service, in the PlayStore you have been able to install the app so it means it's not incompatible with your S7, so you have the right to ask Google for a solution or a refund.
- Try to go on apkmirror and to get an older version of the app, maybe that bug wasn't there in earlier versions.
- Try to download offline videos with LTE, or with Wifi, to see if that change anything. Maybe your LTE connection or Wifi connection isn't stable and cause downloaded files to be corrupted.
Sorry, that's all I can help you with...
EDIT: I don't know how Youtube Red works about downloading videos, but can you choose the quality? Like 360p ou 1080p for example? If yes, then maybe try different quality settings to see if that has any influence on your bug.
In the end, I would probably it is a problem of corrupted files, or a codec problem maybe. I guess you can only read those videos with the Youtube app? If ever the videos are downloaded really like video files in your phone's memory, then maybe you could try an alternate video player to read them (but my guess is that they can only be read from the youtube app).
