camera Issues, only when using flash - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm having some issues with my camera when using flash. I'm running the latest version of clean rom, and i've tried others with the same results. When i use flash i get lines that show up as it saves into gallery. Kinda weird cause as i take the picture it looks great, then adds lines. Thanks for any help in advance. Here is an example, there are worse ones too.

CM10 - Green line on photos

Hi all
I know this isn't a new issue as I've seen posts on it elsewhere. However, I am wondering if it's an issue that affects everyone or just some.
Basically, when you take portrait pictures at 5MP, my photos get a green line down the left-hand side. Does anyone else using the Ville CM10 (any version I have tried) get this? I generally prefer 5MP, especially given the slightly limited memory on our device!
Thanks
James

looks strange, did you wiped everything before your cm10 installation? and does this green line appear in other modes too (8mpx etc.)

Yes, this only happens with the 5MP mode (and strangely only portrait) - I am currently using 8MP to bypass.
I also did a fresh CM10 install and have tried with various stable/nightly releases and stock/custom kernels. It's not a massive problem... I was just curious more than anything else. Having to use a camera at the resolution it was designed for is a small price for an otherwise rock-solid OS!

[Q] JB Camera Stock FOV/Aspect Ratio

Hi all,
after almost getting rid of my Sensation, finaly got round to taking the leap to get a JB rom, to extend the life of the handset. Everything has gone well, and I've installed Albinomans ROM fine. I have noticed one thing so wanted to ask any JB based rom users a question.
In the stock JB camera app the pictures are in 4:3 format (which is fine, and I know there is a flashable zip, but bear with me). I prefer this aspect ratio for pictures, however, when taking a picture, the whole screen is taken up, which is effectively a 16:9 screen, so its hard to frame pictures correctly.
Basically, if you have a JB rom, when taking a picture, is the whole screen taken up? And then when you look at the picture taken it the gallery, is there more above and below what you saw then you took the photo.
I'm interested to know if this is the behaviour of a JB camera in general or maybe something to do with the ROM I have. I dont have enough posts to ask a specific queestion in the DEV thread, but I would appreciate any feedback.
If there is no way round it then I will have to just settle for using camera ICS from the market so I can see what I want to take
Thanks in advance

Hi, ive been using this mod for a while now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901917 . Just flash it and then make sure you are opening the right camera app (There will be 2 now!) . The correct one has the option to choose 16:9. However if force closes first time but dont worry it only happens once!

Thanks for the reply. I have come across that mod in my searches before posting, and its the flashable zip that I mention in my opening post. I'm less concerned about 16:9 and more concerned that 4:3 is shown properly - tbh both would be nice.
Seeing as you have it installed, can you tell me if the non 16:9 modes correctly show the right aspect ratio? If so, it should have a border on the sides, like the ICS camera, then go back to full screen when you chose the 16:9 option.
Are we able to remove that flashed version if its not what is wanted? From what you say it won't replace the original but would probably like to get rid of it if its not suitable.
Thanks for replying, would appreciate the info I mention above.
Cheers

KK 4.4.2 Camera does not work

I am writting this on the Gen Forum since I am a new user.
I am having issues with the 4.4.2 ROM. I love how light weight and non-sense it is but the camera is broken in the 12-25-2013 build. Even though the title of the rom thread says it does work, it doesnt. I am using JB cam from Market but would love to have the default KK app work.
I am also having issue with battery. I did a full charge with the phone off and it was down 20-25% after just a few hours of use. I didnt know if reseting the batt stats would help or is that just BS?
I DO LOVE the fact that MAP (Message Access Protocol) for Bluetooth is working in the ROM! Finally, my car (2013 Nissan Altima) can send text messages for me! This was supported by Android after 4.4 according to Wikipedia. Now I don't have to buy a new phone!
MODS: IF you need to move this, please do. Just know that I am a new user so I have not gotten my 10 posts...
Thanks for the help in advanced!

With 29.12. build camera is working again
There isnt any completly 'stable' KitKat stock camera ported yet... but we are getting there! The meaning of 'camera is working' is that previously camera didnt work at all with the first kitkat ports! It took some weeks to finally port a 'working' solution that alloves to use the camera!
in the meantime you can try to flash this gapps camera : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
primary this stock camera is working! Few glitches here and there but at least you can take pics or record video and you dont need to install 3rd party apps!
Try this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radcam.camera
Nexus KitKat cam on Google Store
The issue that I have now is that the camera only takes half a picture. its the strangest thing...

Thats what it looks like... its really odd... I have tried the stock camera after I just flashed the ROM (12/30/2013) after a FULL wipe of all partitions. I even tried the nexus camera as suggested and it failed in the same way
EDIT: Played around some more and the front camera is fine. Now the back camera is taking pics where there is a green bar in the middle and some there is slight distortion at the bottom. Then the grean bar is at the bottom... I am i the only unlucky one? haha
EDIT 2: Tried flashing the google camera and same thing. Is there something wrong with my phone?
Thanks for the help!
Did u Try latest build??
all camera Work
try a stock ROM to know if its only a ROM or an hardware issue
Get this ...
the panarama works, the globe view works, video works ..... yeah and now the camera works.... argh... dang it.... sorry... I will see if I can break it again... haha.
Thanks again
I think i got it figured out....
So it only happens with in the first couple load cycles after reboot.... then it mellows out or something....
anyway, I will keep an eye on it....
I have attached the image that I was talking about...
On 4.2.2 ROMS at first build of superXE ROM, it was the same thing, to solve that i remember we was able to instal FOCAL...
Maybe that's the way, try it
FOCAL (Beta)
It works on the latest [ROM][4.4.2][UNOFFICIAL]CarbonRom for Sensation[03 Jan]
I am on CM11 by android1234567 with Kernel 52 and for me the camera works fine.
Ok now I am totally lost.... haha. I just downloaded Focal and the camera looks great and the pictures are showing up in preview. Here is where is gets weird:
In the gallery, when I look at the picture in tile mode they all look fine and they have no errors. However, when I select one to view, I get blue shades, grey block, distortion, etc.
I am uploading the pics with this post.
I blurred a few things out that I did not want the whole world to see. Notice the purple in the bigger pic. When I look at the same pic on the computer it has the grey box and the purple what-ever-it-is.
I hope this helps in seeing my issue. And, yes, I have formatted my SD card a few times now. It is S-ON, HBOOT 1.27.00, bootloader unlocked.
Thank you for all your help!
use other app , for example snap camera
im using snap camera and it's perfect

Same here, with this Rom camera works well
Gesendet von meinem HTC Sensation mit Tapatalk
its working just flash the PA stock Gapps and the camera should work fine
I have moved on to Venom 5.x
The camera works in that ROM just fine. I am just not sure what is wrong with the MAP feature of the Bluetooth.
I will create a new thread for that one.
Camera never did work no matter how I flash it. frustrating really. I will track both ROMs for fixes.
Thanks for the help

Best way to improve sound and camera quality on 4.4.4?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is any options left to improve sound and camera quality on the Nexus 5? My hearing isn't the greatest but I can hear perfectly fine on my moms cell and other cell phones. If I could get the volume a tad higher on my Nexus 5 that would be great. Also, another problem I am having is I have Rottweiler puppies that I am trying to get pictures of. They don't like to sit still so I am always having to refocus and when I try to refocus the pictures just look like crap. Like the lighting is always messed up and stuff. Is there any way to fix this? I use to use the volume mod and camera mod which seamed to help a bit. However, I do not see any new releases for the newest android build. I had tried installing them a while back and I could not boot so I don't think they are compatible anymore. If someone could offer me some alternatives I would be very appreciative.
I got one more question as well. If I want to fully clean my internal storage before installing a custom rom what is the best way to do so? Is there anyway to remove the folders for installed programs but still keep the files there needed for rooting? I hope that makes sense. After doing a factory reset I still see folders from previously installed programs and apps.
Thanks,
Rocky
I would seriously consider installing Jishnu's Camera Fix. Make sure to grab Version 1.5. I had similar complaints not too long ago and this mod fixed most of them. Best of all, you don't have to download any new Camera apps, this mod just tweaks pre-existing files.
The download links were removed from that thread for some reason. Here's a download link to the latest version: N5_Cam_V1.5.zip

Hello,
Thank you for your response. I will definitely give that a shot. It says there is also version 1.5. Do you still recommend installing 1.4?

Nah, that was a typo, my mistake. Version 1.5 is the latest version and I'd definitely recommend it. Check my earlier post, I edited it with a proper download link. Just make sure to flash the zip in recovery and you should be all set!

I'm assuming it'll work with any Stock or AOSP based roms. I'm currently running CM11 M9, using the Google Camera app, and it worked beautifully.

Sweet thats exactly what i was getting ready to flash. Thanks again for all your help.
Hiya guys,
I am still having problems with the volume on my phone. In call it is very low! I have never heard it this low. I don't know what the heck happened but it seams like its even lower than normal now. I have tried viper4android but it doesn't seam like its making much of a difference. I'm not sure if it even affects in call volume or not. If any of you guys have any solutions please let me know.
Thanks,
Rocky

OPO Pictures have distinct line down middle with flash

I have had this weird issue for a while now, between ROMs and full wipes so it seems to be hardware related. I have also tried several camera apps. This ONLY happens with the flash on.
See images attached and notice the distinct line down the middle and the colour/light change between sides.
I just want to know if anyone else has come across it and the best way to fix it (replace camera module etc.) given it only occurs with flash on, would changing camera module even help?!
Thanks in advance.

There's nothing you can do about that line. It's been an issue on CM since the Oneplus One was released. Use either Snap or CameraNext apps for taking pics. Alternatively use a ROM with different camera HAL like Sultan, Omni, Darkobas etc they use different blobs without this issue.
