Camera Flashlight way too bright?! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there guys...
I have a simple question.
Well... This morning I've tried to take a photo of some text. I enabled the flashlight in the camera app an shot the photo... But all I get is a hell white picture. So I tried around with the flashlight and noticed that it makes all the pics way too bright... They are aweful.
Does any of you guys suffer the same problem?
Is there any fix?
I am running 4.4.2 on latest DroidKang v18 and ChaosKernel 9.2.
Thanks in advance

question? answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477886
now are you using the flash to take photos or are you using a "flashlight" option?

I'm sorry for the wrong place.
Well... Of course I use the regular flash option in the camera. Sorry for my English

you can move back a little from the object that you are photographing. or, what i would probably do, you can turn down the exposure to -1(press the circle on the bottom right, pres the +/-, press -1).

Yeah... I understand what you mean. But it's not a problem of distance or something. I am a hobby photographer and know about that. Even photographing my room from about 6ft gives me crappy results. Here are examples. The brighter one is with exposure 0 and the darker ( but still awkward ) one is with -2

As you can see it looks like I'm using a 200 lumens flashlight

i photograph a lot with my n5, like a lot might be an understatement. but it looks like it might be an issue with your rom or gapps. the flash works fine for me.

Is there a way to remove and reinstall the original camera.apk?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk

I find the flash quite harsh. In low light conditions, I try to use hdr instead of flash

Okay... So just flash gapps over? Your flash looks way better. Mine is really blueish. The wall on my pics is white as snow actually

Maybe you have an issue with focus. There is a pre-flash that is quite blue that goes off during focus before the actual flash. Maybe you're somehow catching that. I managed to capture it myself once just now but unable to reproduce since

delete the camera apk from /system/app/(then reboot). then go to your custom recovery and flash this flashable camera zip http://goo.gl/orWkC0

Oh yes baby. That worked!!! No idea what's the difference. But its way better now. Thanks a lot ) This is the 4.4.2 original camera app isn't it?

it was the camera apk, plus the lib and jar file needed to get everything working. i bet you were just missing some needed files. but im glad it worked

The problem is ROM and kernel related. Roms which use for the torch the sysf interface run into this problem if the kernel does not have a fix. Symptom is simple....enable one time torch....after that every picture is overexposed. Only a reboot solves it and after that best not using torch.
Basically it is an error in the kernel source. Fix for it is this one
https://github.com/SlimRoms/kernel_lge_hammerhead/commit/fc65aaf560efbaafcdc0a03793af75fc9d97ef12
Just notify your kernel dev about.

[GUIDE] AOSP-Lockscreen | Sense 4+ , 4.x

This is a really simple guide. Everybody can do this.
What you need:
- Root File Explorer
How you do it:
Navigate to system>app and delete or rename HtcLockScreen.apk.
That's it, now reboot and enjoy your AOSP-Lockscreen.
You need to unlock before answering a call.
Screenshots attached.
Do you still have to unlock the screen before you can answer a call?

That made no sense and so I tested it and you still have to unlock the phone to answer a call. This doesn't happen on AOSP roms.
Edit, its a bit buggy with the dots showing when it shouldn't.

I have the problem, that every download by browser starts and after a few seconds halts on. If I resume it, it paused again.
I tried 2 clean installs with version from 19.01 and 16.01opengapps pico and nano.
Does someone have this bug too or can help me with that?

Both. And with different browsers. Download apps from playstore works great and fast.
I see download in notification area, but it is paused automatically, when I use Google Chrome
With stock browser it disappeares and in download section it has a broken icon I guess
I haven't found anything on Google or on xda about this error.
Gesendet von meinem Mi-4c mit Tapatalk
Very strange, looked like you had restriction on size of download or the mobile/WIFI preference for download.
Do you maybe have some pattern in the size of files that you can download.

I tried different sizes. From single PDF to bigger zip files. Maybe I skip few versions and try it again.
Don't understand why I have problems after a clean install

Its not rom related. After i restored my nandroid backup problem still persists.
But i startet a knew thread in another section, since i is not rom related.
Edit:
Problem based on wrong folder permission on internal storage, after a restore from a windows pc
How is heat on performance ? Overheat ? Is it quite stable (antutu value after some tests) ?
After a few starting problems I can say it's the best rom for mi4c I ever had.
Very smooth, no bugs, working ota updates and great features, so no need for xposed soon
Antutu score was 65k on first try, but it feels faster in daily use.
Battery time is as good as before on slim6
I use it as daily driver

It depends on the age of the battery, how was it used, and many other factors. How old is your battery?
simply flash sultan latest build.
if u r dat battery conscious, use greenify and stuff.
i have been on sultan for years.

Switch to performance mode in battery profile,but remember this is going to cost you some more battery life than it used to on balanced profile.
Try Paranoid Android. I get 6h SOT on it. It's very smooth but lack of customization. There are some bug in ROM but it will be fixed in next biild
