[Q] Video Recording and Flash - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! Is there any way to record a video with the LED flash on? I've tried flashlight apps but most of them seem to be closing when I switch to camera or video. I hope they'd have this option in the future. Thanks!

no need to download or start flash/torch app... just enable flash in camera app (if you are using stock camera, swipe from left to the right)

How ignorant of me. Thanks!

Video Recording question

I was curious, is there any way to turn on the LED while recording video? I ask because while it is awesome that I have flash for still photos in dark areas, I can not record video when the lighting isn't optimal (ie. in a salsa bar)
If anyone know how to do this, or knows of an application that can achieve this, let us know!

Root your phone and download the Nexus One Torch in the Market. Once you have it, turn on the LED flash, switch to your camera and start recording. Easy!

Fix camera capture delay and autofocus in cm 10.1 -a simple trick

Hi ace plus users,
I have found a new method in which you can partially solve the bugs associated with cm 10.1 for ace plus. This method is only tested in Techkang roms. With this trick,you can avoid the delay while taking photos, as well as fix the autofocus partially.The trick is:
First install
CameraZoom fx, it is a paid software,but you can find its cracked versions by simply searching google..
Now open the app,in the settings button(bottom right corner),set autosave on.
Set focus mode to second option,if you need to take photos always by autofocus.
Set focus mode to first option if you need to take photos instantly without autofocus. You will notice no delay when this option is selected.
If you are using first option in focus mode to take photos, never prefocus that is dont try to touch screen to focus, always press the shutter button.If you prefocus by touching screen,the app gets stuck.You need to reboot your device to fix that.
The only problem with this app is that it takes some time to load,unlike other camera applications.

I am using cm 10.1 techkang rom with 2.6 kernel.. Here usb charging works.. The only bug is camera flash, we can only use torch app.. Video recording also works using camera jb+..
I read this somewhere that we can use whatsapps camera app to take photos ....I have been using it and it gives only around 2 sec delay to take photos and the photos come out clear too

Snapchat - Push screen down notification + other camera queries

Recently got the Mi Mix 3 and having some quality of life issues with the camera.
Firstly it doesnt seem to play well with Snapchat, in that if Snapchat is set to currently use the front camera the notification "Push the screen down to open camera" does not go away, so even if I am just chatting or something, that is there. Any ideas how to remove it?
I am also wanting to leave the slider gestures on so that when I slide the phone down it will open the front camera in the camera app. However again this does not play ball with snapchat or whats app, it will automatically open the camera app even if another app is trying to take a photo.
Any ideas how to fix either issues?
For me the notification goes away after a few seconds if I don't touch the phone
I keep the camera orientation on the back camera for those kind of apps. Then it won't bother me until I need to use it. But if you want to keep it on the front ig it's something we just have to deal with. At least it goes away though.
I also have my slider settings to open the camera and it works fine when I have other camera apps open. Just need to make sure you've turned to front camera in app before you slide.

Yeah I have got used to it. Do you have your slider options set to "Take a selfie"? When I do that even if Whatsapp is on front camera and slide down, it opens the camera app itself.

Is there actually a method (with root or flashing ofcourse) to get rid of it altogether?

Yeah they're on 'Take a selfie ". And I just checked that out on my Whatsapp and it opens the camera within the app. I don't know why your device seems to be doing that.

Anyway to lock the pop up camera? - Snapchat

When using snapchat the pop up camera plays wack-a-mole while navigating menus and such... (opening and closing constantly)
Does anyone know if it's possible in general to lock the camera with another app or a mod? I don't want to stress the lifespan of the popup camera.
It would also be a super useful security feature as I've found the pop-up camera coming up when on Instagram and not even in the camera...

Go as if your going to take a picture and switch to the rear camera. Once you do this it will always think you're using the rear cam and stop the front camera from popping up when I'm camera mode.
Yes, just default to the rear camera...

[GCam] Camera and video mode not working

Hi everyone,
So I have finally found the working (almost) GCam for Blackview BV9800Pro. Tried all developers apps and I found that this app https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b-A10.apk or any other by @fu24 which has "A10" at the end does not crash.
I am able to shoot panoramic, lens blur and photosphere images. However, in camera mode no photo is shkt is made when I click shotter button, it acts like it captured image, but there ia no image in galery. Also, when I switch to video mode the app crashes. Portrait mode and nightshot also does not seem to work...
P.S, when I go to this app settings -> about, it says that this app is based on MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.
I have tried to install this one just to check maybe this one works, but got message "app was not installed".
Ideas?
Have anyone faced such issue or have an idea what could be wrong? Maybe GCam developer could take a look at this issue?

The same to You? Have You tried any other GCam app?
Whenever I try to record a video then a error shows up, "cannot record video, close video mode and try again".
