I have posted about this in specific rom threads without an answer.
Is it normal right now for the front facing camera to show up distorted (flattened out and fat) when using the front facing camera.
Every AOSP rom I have tried (cm10, aokp, brickbeatz, etc...) all have the distorted front camera image.
Wondering if its just something in the code that hasnt or cant be fixed.
thanks
Same. I'm pretty sure it's a known bug. Otherwise, we're just unlucky.
It looks like that for me. But I have noticed when you take a picture and view it in gallery it goes back to normal resolution.

After I flashed weapon onto my phone. There have been 2 problems with my front facing camera, one that it comes out rotated 90 degrees for photo capture and when I try to use it for video it comes out completely messed up with 4 different screens, 1 with a green area, a blurred image of the camera and 2 other messed up views of the camera. Is there any fix for this? Thanks.
That happened to me while trying Skype. As for the bad screen I changed the Res, for the upside down I just rotated my phone. The finally I. Just said screw the stock cam and installed LG cam 3.0 which all works great except no Skype video

That's a known issue with LG Cam App... Try installing the stock Gingerbread Camera.

What's the difference between stock GB cam and LG Cam 3.0? Does it look different?

It looks different, has a couple features stock does not, and most importantly can record video in 1080p, something no other camera app on the G2X is capable of.
Here's a thread discussing the LG camera and what it can do if you're really curious. I personally don't find it necessary; the MIUI camera can do almost everything LG can do and Camera Advance can do everything (and more!) other than 1080p video, which I don't need.

LG CAM 3.0
Where can I find the .apk? I didn't see it on Market.
Nervermind,sorry. I found it. Also, it is a good app so far. I like knowing at what MP my pictures are as well as what size the video is recording at. Much btter than the standard GB cam app.

Only bad thing so far is that it doesnt work with Skype. I keep the stock cam zip file to flash via CWM when i need to make a skype video call.

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
Sorry for my noobness... but I flashed the paranoid ROM for my one S, the ROM is awesome except I don't like the new camera UI(It has a solid bar that takes up 1/4 of the screen, just for the shot button...), and I don't know if its possible to change this?
Another thing is how am I able to get beats Audio after custom ROM?
thanks in advance!
Paranoid is based of CM10/9 (main point is its stock android) so you will not be able to use the sense camera as it requires the sense framework. Basically, the camera requires HTC's proprietary camera drivers that are only available in sense-based roms like viper. Unless some magical developer with amazing skills comes along, it will never be possible. Now for beats, i have a solution and its called Awesomebeats.

i personally don't like it as i prefer a flat sound without any EQ changes but whatever, to each there own.
Hope i helped
Thanks! that helps a lot!
so if im not mistaken, it means that basically all the stock CM9/10's camera UI has that huge bar taking over the screen, and resulting smaller pictures?
what if I install some third party camera software and use those instead, do I get the same basic performance(pic quality) from my camera?
Didn't virtuous team achieve something like this over in the sensation boards? Basicly a real senseless Rom that kept the camera but replaced basicly everything else with aosp stuff all within the HTC framework? That would be really interesting if someone can achieve that for us since we all love aosp but want to keep the camera

Yes and no. Im going to assume that when you took your pictures on sense, you left the widescreen setting, meaning the pictures you took with the sense camera are actually smaller. When left in widescreen, they cropped from the top and bottom resulting in a 6 MP widescreen shot. The AOSP camera takes the full 8 MP. Dont be fooled by the aspect ratio

Yea but too bad the quality ain't the same, google should really consider better cameras for stock I mean that's all a nexus device really lacks anyways
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
This is really one of the biggest drivers for people sticking with sense-based ROMs over AOSP and/or AOKP-based ROMs.
So, if you want the stock camera - look at the sense-based ROMs on the forum.

well i did extensive tests, both low and well lit situations, quality is the same. As a matter of fact, maybe even slightly better on AOSP. There is less compression, and can be seen when zoomed in. The only difference between the AOSP camera and Sense is the speed and functionality. And if youre using a Nexus, the speed of the camera is insanely fast. Look up videos on youtube, the nexus has a good camera.
Change to the viperone s Rom its great and you keep the camera from the original Rom

I guess I should've just originally posted this question here. How come when I take a pic with the front facing camera kn any aosp rom, the image it captures is reversed from the one I see on the screen while I'm about to take the pic. The picture it ends up taking seems unnatural and disproportional because everything is flipped. Anyone know a fix or a way around this? I haven't tried on sense ROMs but I'm willing to bet its the same, realllly annoying!

No idea, but I'm running ViperXL w/ the cam fix. Mines just fine.
Hey, I'm running paranoid android v20 and my camera just won't focus properly. Every photo I take in the regular app is either barely out of focus, and it doesn't adjust, or is in great focus but then it makes it completely out of focus/blurry and takes the shot! Ugh. I have Camera zoom FX in the meantime and that works, but I want to use the standard app. Any ideas?

Have you tried reflashing the rom? Or is there any possibility at the installation or a separate zip to reflash only the camera app? Or have you tried a different kernel?
No. I guess I could reflash gapps. It's weird though. I just took a few blurry photos and I looked in the gallery and they weren't blurry at all. Good, but why doesn't it display like that while snapping the photo? I can't know quickly if it was clear or not. :-\

I never experienced that on paranoid Android myself, maybe try reflashing and see if that helps. Best wishes.

Don't worry about it, each photo I take it displays as blurry, but in gallery they are fine.
