I usually don't take pictures with flash, but today I noticed that the flash doesn't work properly in the camera app. When I try to take a picture, the the flash lights up while the camera is focusing, but when the actual picture is being taken it remains off, resulting into a very dark picture. I am running stock 4.4.4 + elementalx kernel. Has anyone else noticed something similiar and have any idea how to fix this?

Whenever i take a picture in burst camera mode, the picture has a green tint on it. I had the problem with the stock ROM when I enabled all camera modes and still have it running mightymike's 11.16 rom so it may be hardware related. All other camera modes seem to work fine. Has anyone else come across this problem?

This is completely a stab in the dark, but try taking your back cover off and take a picture. Do you still have a green tint? Also, when you move the picture to a computer, does it have a green tint still?

Interesting... When i move the picture to the computer it looks fine. Also, When I browse to the pic thru the file explorer, it also looks fine. It's only green in the pic immediately after the shot.
Ah well.. Thanks for the ideas.
I have a strange problem that I can't seem to find an answer for. I have an SGH-I727R rooted with stock ICS ROM. I don't know when this started happening so I'm not sure what triggered it, but the flash on my camera doesn't work.
My LED works because my flashlight app works, and when I go to take a picture in the dark, the camera will turn on the light for auto-focus, but when I go to actually take the picture, the light turns off but doesn't flash for the picture. I've tried 4 camera apps and they all do the exact same thing.
Things I've tried so far:
- I thought it had something to do with settings on my flashlight app (shaking the phone to turn on the flashlight) so I wiped all data and uninstalled it
- turning off the phone and pulling the battery
- used Titanium Backup to reloaded the last backup of the stock camera
Because the light works, it's not hardware. There must be a file missing that triggers the flash mode for the LED or something. Could reloading the stock ROM fix this problem? It's really annoying not being able to take pictures in low light. Again, the light works during auto-focus, but doesn't actually flash for the picture. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have the optimus g (e970) with cm10.2 and NH Kernel. When I take a picture the flash doesn't go off at the right time and the resulting picture is dark. I also put some custom sounds for the camera and I use flash notifications apps. Has anyone ever had this and how do I fix this?
EVERY time I take a photo running the stock camera app, if flash is enabled (auto or manual), the phone saves a picture file a split second after the flash is back off-resulting in a dark photo saved. I have turned on an off HDR with no change (thinking it would be affecting the timing somehow).
The only way the flash is of any use is if I start to record a motion video file (with flash on the whole time) then touch the screen to capture still photos. Then the photos are lit up perfectly.
Has anyone seen this before? Any tips to fix?
I have had this issue on two Droid Maxx phones now. one unlocked bootloader downgraded to 4.2.2, the other with rooted on 4.2.2 (shipped with camera update firmware, disabled firmware upgrades on purpose to prevent 4.4)
Same thing often happens to me. It isn't every time I use the flash, but probably 75%. Once it does this crazy flash thing, then the camera no longer zooms properly until I close out of the program and reopen. It happens with the stock camera and 3rd party (camera360).
The images taken with the main camera app get ****ed up - they become cropped in a weird way or the colors change, or both.
The weird part is that it might not happen immediately upon taking a picture. It may be OK at first, but after a couple hours, the problem appears. It doesn't happen with every image and it doesn't happen with other camera apps or instagram/snapchat camera, but the quality of pictures taken with the main camera app is unmatched.
I attached some sample images. How could I resolve this? I'm on BlackDiamond ROM, if it matters.
