Lost HDR+ camera mode. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
So far loving the N5.
I need some help. I seem to have lost my HDR+ setting in the Camera. I did have it and now it is missing.
So far I have rooted my device and changed the compiler to ANT. Would any of those remove it? Maybe I'm being stupid and changed a setting in the camera, but I have tried everything. I know when using flash it was greyed out but now its completely gone.
Any one else lost it?
Be easy on me its my first Nexus and been searching for the last hour on XDA

I'm running ART and still have access to HDR+ so i don't think it's that.

Thanks for the reply DirkGently Are you rooted? I'm going to reset my phone in a moment to see if that fixes it.

I have HDR+ using the new runtime ART and rooted so I can only think that it could be either down a software issue or hardware issue if a reset doesn't fix it then I would return your phone to where you bought it and get another

try clearing the cache maybe?(cache may take a long time to clear)
if that doesn't work, i can pull my Googlecamera.apk and upload it

If you are rooted, try going here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516061
There is a modded camera zip and a stock camera zip. Maybe try flashing the latter to see if it helps.

So far i have cleared all data from gallery and camera. Now I just reset my phone and no luck if someone could upload the camera apk I could try that.
Is there a way to disable it?

Thanks to everyone that helped out.
I found the culprit. I changed my build prop to be a Galaxy Note 3 so I could run Polaris Office.
I have changed it all back and after a camera data wipe it all returned.
So if any of you want to change the device name for any reason, it will disable the HDR+ mode.

SGS Tools

just a FYI the SGS tools app which allows you to replace your tw launcher, email, contacts, and gallery app works for our sgs 4G. i have tried em all (upgrade stock apps) and can confirm they are all working. If you want to go back the scripts dont work, but you just need to move the stock apk back from sd>sgstools>xxx.apk into system>app> using root explorer or similar... and it will revert. also the boot up/down sounds can be disabled through the app

If I had to guess the email app on there that is made for the tab will get really buggy when used with exchange. Crazy thing is, it takes a few days to show up. You may have better luck on this device. But my vibrant didn't like it..
Lastly, make back ups of the apps your gonna try and switch using this app. Easiest way titanium backup. That way you get your app back that's optimized for 2.2.1.
Might not make a difference. But never hurts to put a back up on your external

My problemw with titianium backup is that it dosn't actually backup the system apps, just it's data
I just tried to use my FFC after the camera hack & it does not work anymore, it says camera failed. I tried to restore from Titanium and copied the .apk from the sgstool back up with no luck.
Anyone else having the same issue? I just flashed the Krylon's stock + root rom and did a factory reset but the issue is still there. Do you think I can pull the files from a system dump to remedy?

Try flashing the deodexed version 1.9.. when Odin reboots you into factory recovery do the factory reset. And then reboot.

Thanks Aloneinshadow, but I had the dump from a previous post. I pushed datapattern_420sp.yuv & datapattern_front_420sp.yuv to /system/cameradata along with restoring camera.apk & camerafirmware.apk to /system/app and rebooted with no luck. BUT when I ran Tango and used the FFC it worked and fixed my issue. I do not know why but its fixed now. Im never going to use SGSTools again unless its made for KB5.

Ok thank God I was able to revert my camera back, the hacked camera didn't allow me to record videos. Quick question, why is it that our phones don't have autofocus for video recording but all over YouTube there are vibrants that have it?

Arghhh, WHERE!!! is the gallery fix in SGS Tools??
I have spent 15 minutes here looking and cannot find anything in it with the word gallery.

[Q] Unable to store photos with main cam

hi guys,
i've got a problem with my cam. when i take a photo, cam does take the action and in gallery there is a "photo" but the photo's just all in gray and cant open it. but i can use the camera to scan a barcode, to take videos sometimes... meanwhile the front camera works well
it may be caused by some problems when i flashed a different rom, i guess. but everything else works but camera.
i've tried to flash a lot of different roms, factory reset, wipe anything can be wiped, format internal, install other camera apps and radios.
still cant take photos
anyone can help here. or it 's sure to be a hardware problem?
What roms have you tried. That was an issue with some of the earlier cm 10.1's

I have the exact same issue. Except in my case I can't take any videos. I asked around and no one was able to provide any insights.
The only thing I would recommend is a complete back to stock using odin. In my case, this did not fix the problem.
Next, I re flashed the camera firmware using a dial code in stock jb ROM. This did not fix my issue either.
So I concluded hardware problem.
Next, I ordered a replacement rear camera module. Took my phone apart and replaced the camera. This did not fix the problem either. So whatever hardware it is, it is outside the camera module.
At this point I have given up and am just gonna wait till my contract runs out..
If you find a fix, please let me know.

Have you tried formatting internal and external sd cards with the stock rom. That might clear things up. Obviously, back everything up first.

[Q] N5 won't change to ART...

So it's been a little bit of time, and I'm curious to try out the new runtime. Problem is, every time I try to make the switch, all it does is reboot. I don't get the 5-10 build time, and I'm still running dalvik. Stock ROM, Franco r16 test kernel, rooted, unlocked boot loader, etc. Any ideas what could be preventing me from making the change? Or a method to find out for myself?
TIA

[Q] Google camera update - Can't connect to camera

My phone updated the Camera app yesterday and right after the back camera stopped working. The front camera works, but as soon as I try to switch to the back camera it gives me the Can't connect to camera message. I tried rolling back the update and trying again, and it still wont work. Any tips?
Wipe data on the app?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Same problem...it doesn't even give me a back camera option.
This is what usually happens when the camera module goes faulty.
This is what I'd do (in order)
1) factory reset
2) flash factory images
3) RMA
If you're not comfortable with 2, don't do it. Skip to 3

Yes it could which is why you should follow my steps. I didn't advise them for no reason

Steps 1 and 2 didn't work.
I don't know how to execute step 3, since I live in Croatia (bought the phone from the Google Play Store in California) and there is no support here.
Any other tips?

Are you sure you did step 2? Because your mentioned Cyanogen after I gave the 3 steps, which isn't a factory image.
If you've flashed the factory images as per this location:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
And you still have the issue, it needs to be repaired. I can't tell you how that is done in Croatia

That is the location I downloaded the stock image rom and ran the process. Looks like I'll have to figure out how to get it to Goolge.

Can't update Chrome?

The latest update keeps giving me error 504 from the play store which I've googled and done the things suggested for the error. Wipe cache and data of play store. Remove Google account and log it back in. But still nothing so i manually downloaded from apk mirror and even that way says not installed when trying to update.
Any one have any ideas?

I don't think so because they are saved to Google server and linked to your gmail. So you will get back on signing in.
Also if you want you can backup using Tbk then reinstall and restore data only.
Hopefully that will serve your purpose. [emoji111]

Try logging into the account from a PC and click install from there. Sometimes it clears the error and triggers the update when you sync back up with your phone.

It shouldn't, the data is usually saved outside the application folder.
To be safe you can use Titanium Backup.
Seems weird because you'd think manually downloading and installing would work still

I faced the same issue again and I simply turned off the merge tabs option and it updated flawlessly.
I know it is not related and might just be a coincidence.
But worth giving it a shot.
