I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.1

Have you tried with a different camera? I had a similar problem when installing CM10. I was using Camera ZoomFX and it started to work terrible. Stock camera, on the other hand, worked much better. I just went back to the stock one and forgot about it.

I have tried:
1. Stock Camera App
2. Camere Zoom FX
3. Camera ICS
But I did not get better result from my phone's camera... Stock camera and Camera ICS do not allow me to use TOUCH FOCUS on the other hand in Camera Zoon Fx when I touch on the screen it shows sometimes Red and sometimes Green box depend upon the situation but actually it does not focus that green box is just for showing, it actually does not focus the subject, I have tried different settings but no good focus and no good pictures

do a factory reset, then upgrade to 4.1.2
this was a shot made with my i9023 + stock google 4.1.2, about 5 months ago:

It's really nicer than stock cam??? I don't think it
It would be better to port semc camera into CM7. But this idea seems to be good too

I agree with you, and I prefer the stock camera,,,
but you can use it in MiUI as its camera app is not that powerful..
it would work with any MiUI 2.3 ver.

Work with fxp 30 ?

thats dude works perfect
Better better
Stock camera is better lol
Actually, you should port stock camera for CM7 lol
for those who says stock is good
in this mod you are getting on screen button to click so that you can skip fad or unclear picture due to hand vibration while clicking cam button
good job
keep it up
no zoom tryed advanced setting still no zoom any fix
This is a waste of time. Nobody wants this cam if they have stock. And if they do can download it from market. Cam mod in combi with xperiaplay launcher.

[Q] Camera Issue after installing CM10. How to fix...

Hey all,
I flashed CM 10 last night and when I went to use my camera, my screen looked like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you see.. the camera preview is messed up. Displaying the image the camera sees four times... and not even fully rendered.
I wasn't able to get an actual screenshot of this off my phone as it saves it as a normal picture so I had to use a real camera. The camera functions and takes proper pictures... but the screen so messed up it makes it difficult to take a pic. Also, if I change settings the gallery crashes.
Has anyone come across this before? If so... how do I resolve this heh.
TIA!
Any thoughts? This is driving me insane lol.
My suggestion would be clearing data on the gallery(camera is part of the gallery) to see if that helps. Also try ticking the box under developer settings that references HW overlays.

Clear your data in the gallery see of that works, n fyi don't freak out if your pictures don't pop up in the gallery after you clear gallery data, your pictures aren't gone they will pop back up after some time

[Q] Razr Maxx HD Camera Focus

When I fist open my camera application to take a picture, I notice that object is in focus. Within a second, you can here the camera focus and the shot is completely out of focus. Touching the screen to re-focus does nothing. The only thing in focus are object 1-2 inches from the camera lens. If you hold it up to take a picture of the room for example it always stays way out of focus.
I've tried different camera applications, a factory reset, and every mode and setting I could find. Last night I got Jelly Bean and it still sets the focal length at the minimum focus. Have any of you had this issue?
I am preparing to send it back to Amazon Wireless for a warranty replacement, but they won't send me a new phone until they receive this one. I really don't want to be without it while things are getting shipped around.
Thanks for your help and any idea.

I have the same issue... I think its just crap low light performance, swapping it out will not help.

It does the same thing outside too. I can open the camera app while pointing it at my car. After about 1 second the camera focuses to the shortest focal length and the image is out of focus. Touching the screen pops up the auto-focus box, and after a second it turns green, but the image never changes focus.

Do you get the same issue with the screen-side camera as well? Might help narrow down software vs hardware issue.
Also, with regard to the low light theory, have you taken the phones suggestion, if that is the case, to switch to HDR mode and see if it likes that any better?
To follow up...
I returned my phone to Amazon. They replaced it within a few days. Now I've got a phone that will actually focus!
Now if they could fix the quality of low light pictures...

[Q] Camera Questions

Hi everybody, I have recieved my N5 2 weeks ago and Im loving it. The only problem I have is with the camera. Lets face it, the camera app is not so great and Im curious if there is a good replecement for it. I have a samsung galaxy s2 from almost 3 years ago with 8 megapixels and it takes much better pictures therefore I know it is the camera app, not the camera itself. Yes, Ive tried some camera apps from the play store but none of which I tried really work great. I am more curious in ports from the lg g2 or galaxy s2-4 if possible? What are the best alternatives or what is possible? Thanks.

I will try Zoom FX and see how that works
the camera app is fine, no issues with it and taking fast and motion shots. maybe its something you need to learn?

ill adjust exposure occasionally, but rarely change anything. but i do not rely on autofocus, ever. i touch to focus where i want it focused. just pressing the button and getting a general focus is satisfactory, i like making sure what i want gets focused on.

Camera not working

Hi,
yesterday i bought 32gb nexus 5 for 150 euros (around 190 dollars). the reason for its modest price was camera which doesnt work.
i flashed full factory image 4.4.4, custom roms and kernels, did factory reset, booted in safe mode, cleared camera cache and data, but no luck.
Camera app doesnt show up in app drawer or dock in gn launcher. When I launch camera, the screen stays black (like its loading but ultimatively it doesnt). Sometimes i get: camera has crashed, or cant connect to the camera. Other camera apps also dont work, flashlight apps dont work.
Now, its obvious to me that this is hardvare isue. Camera doesnt seem like its damaged at all, lens is alright.
Today i teard my n5 down and removed rear and front facing camera and put them back in, and it still doesnt work.
My question is: if i buy new a rear and front camera and install them, can I expect camera to work? Is it possible that something else isnt working properly (maybe logicboard is damaged or something like that). I ask because i dont have knowledge about smartphones hardware. Would replacing cameras do the job?
Thanks in advance, i hope someone has experience with this kind of problem.
I don't know for sure but it could possibly be a corrupt camera driver issue.. The only thing that would make me think replacing the cameras won't work is that the flash/flashlight doesn't work either.. But I dunno if the camera is bad if that'll affect the flash/flashlight as well
I'll do a little research and get back to you
Ok strange thing : now torch built in Mahdi rom works but other flashlight apps don't :
