[HELP] camera freezes with custom roms - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

help please. the camera works fine with stock roms, but since I flashed DU official 8.1, any intention to take a photo (regardless of camera app) makes the screen freeze (not force close, it just freezes while generating the photo, and the save animation does not play, and no photo is created ) except for the nav bar back and home buttons. this happens with every custom roms I have tried after the first event. I used to think it was a matter of DU rom, but it also happens with mokee, pa, liquidsmooth, mahdi, spirit and pac. I have tried several solutions like flashing cam libs, stock cam apps, reflashing custom rom, flashing custom kernels, but the only method that makes camera apps work again is flashing stock roms through fastboot. I have an xt1032. it only happens with the back camera, photos taken with the front camera are saved as usual and the apps don't freeze. please bring a ray of light into my case, I don't know what else to try.

Go to dhacker's cyanogenmod thread and search for a zip on the last pages. It flashes the stock camera + libs and everything else needed.
I was going through the same things you are and it worked perfectly

Here you go, just flash this zip

I uploaded it for you and everyone else having this problem. Hope it works

thank you, it seems the camera works for now. it is nice that it now receives updates in spite of using a custom rom. however after flashing this zip, dalvik cache for user apps was wiped (without me performing any wipe) and then the theme engine broke. I can't install any theme apks manually, and if I try to install one from the playstore, I get an error notification and the " uninstall" button becomes "install" again. also, themes installed manually appear to be of 0.00MB. I will reflash my current rom and post the results later.
EDIT: clean reflashed and immediately flashed the cam+libs zip. everything works thanks a lot!!

[BUG REPORT] Video camera crashes

Running the latest build (21.12.13) for Xperia Z and update every day.
For the past 2 days now, the stock camera app crashes when I try to switch to video. Just goes black before the viewfinder changes.
Have been updating over open delta, but tried full wipe and fresh flash. Still not functional.
Would be interesting to know of anyone else has experienced this
Update
Did new download of official Dec 22nd Rom (not using Open Delta to rule that out), and fresh download of PA Gapps.
Did full wipe and installed cleanly.
Still the same problem...
Am I really the only one getting this?

Same problem here. N7100 ROM OMNIROM Android 4.4.2 KitKat
At this point, I've just started using Camera MX.
Reasonably familiar interface, and it works quite well with the Xperia Z's camera.
For anyone having these issues, I'd recommend this as it's free, and fully featured (without being too cluttered).

Cant get camera to work after rooting and flashing new rom

As the title states, I rooted and flashed the latest cm11 nightly onto my OPO today. Now the camera doesn't work. It doesn't matter if I use the included camera apk, or install one of the OPO camera apk's . I get the error " cannot connect to camera". Restarting the app and the phone don't help. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance for your ideas.
Have you tried reflashing yet?

You cannot use gapps that includes the Camera. If the Camera is included with the gapps, it will give you the error, "Cannot Connect to Camera."
Do a wipe, use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 Pico version (or a version that does not include Camera. Read the description of the gapps and you will see whether or not Camera is included).
After using that, you should be able to use 1) AOSP Camera included with the ROM 2) CameraNext.apk http://d-h.st/dBc just fine.

Thanks for the info, ill give that a try. I half a dozen combos of different nightlies and gapps packages and ended up with the same issue. I reverted back to the stock rom and everything works at the moment.
I have an additional question I dont want to create a new thread for. Does anyone happen to know if there is a difference between the 30O and 33R camera apk's? I want to stick with the OPO camera but I have only seen the 30O camera and the previous version posted. Will i be losing anything going back to that from 33r? Thanks again for the help.
The camera is the same across both versions.
Transmitted via Bacon
Thanks for the quick reply.
As what timmaaa said but..... attached is XNPH33R camera, its the same thing as XNPH30O but eh... why not.
Press the thanks button instead of saying it
That happened to me now. Except I flashed the 05Q modem to cause it. Now the camera will only work in the CM11S rom. Tried CM11 nightly, Liquidsmooth 3.2 and other KitKat roms. Play store cameras don't work either. I tried flashing the 44S modem since it was working before on that and still nothing. Completely wiped the phone and fastboot flashed the entire factory image 44S and still the camera will not work on any other rom. HELP!!!

I'm using TWRP 2.8.1.0 and I tried flashing the latest nightly as well as the stable version. I verified the MD5 signature after copying the .zip to my SD card. I also did a full wipe with TWRP.
My phone is the i727R with Gingerbread 2.3.5. Do I need to update to the latest official 4.x firmware from Rogers before I try to flash with AOSPA?
Any other suggestions or hints? This is my first time trying to flash a custom ROM, so I'm probably doing something wrong.
Figured it out, didn't have the latest radio installed. Might want to add that to the instructions for noobs like me. It's easy to overlook because the note regarding the firmware is under the "contributors" heading, separate from the basic instructions.
camera doesn't work
Camera is not working for me, but everything else is fine. And pretty darn smooth!
Issue installing
I am attempting to install this using CWM and the installation of the ROM goes perfectly but then when I go to install the GApps, I keep getting the insufficient space error. I have tried Mini, Micro and Nano as well as reformatted the internal memory. Thoughts? Sorry for the ignorant post.

To be clear, I am talking about the 5.0.2 ROM not the 4.4.4 ROM. The 5.0 thread would not let me post there and redirected me here for some reason.

I'm not sure if CWM is compatible with the GApps. I recommend using TWRP instead.
But I have used CWM for GApps for all my ROMs so far and it hasn't been an issue. Why would this be different. My understanding is that it is just a space issue so I am wanting to know if there is a way to get this space issue resolved when even the smallest GApps was still too large (supposedly).

Why did this rom install cyanogen recovery, this recovery sucks and I cant get to any of my backed up roms because it doesnt give me an option, how the hell do I get back to philz?
Trouble updating
I installed the 1/16/2015 version (PA 5.02) plus nano gapps. Most things seemed to work well, and I like the look and feel, but two or three times I have experienced periods where the battery drains even though connected to a charger. This morning, for example, the phone had been on the charger all night and was fully charged. Without disconnecting it from the charger, I checked my email and then put the phone back down. An hour or so later, the battery showed low 90's percent, even though it showed that it still was plugged in.
Yesterday I tried to update to the 2/2/2015 version. After making a backup with TWRP, I installed the 2/2 zip. I have flashed several ROMS, so I am not a complete noob, but I have never done a zip upgrade without factory reset. The upgrade seemed to succeed, but after booting, I had no gapps and my google accounts were missing. I then tried reflashing the same gapps and the systemUI fix. That got my apps back, more or less, but my google accounts still were missing and my home screen layouts all were lost. I then reverted to my pre-upgrade nandroid backup and tried again, by installing the 2/2 ROM upgrade zip, the gapps, and the systemUI fix all without rebooting in between. As before, after rebooting, my home screens were gone and (I think) my google accounts were gone. (By the way, I use the Google Launcher.)
Is upgrading from the 1/16 to 2/2 supposed to require reinstallation of gapps and adding back of accounts, home screen setups, etc? If it is then such an upgrade is almost as much hassle as a complete, clean install. Can someone tell me how this is supposed to work?
I installed the Lollipop rom (and the UI patch) and am still having "Can't connect to camera" issues. occasionally, rebooting the phone helps, but then if I do something like switch from the back camera to the front, it will stop working again.

There are issues with the gapps backup script, so the gapps package should be flashed with every ROM update. The loss of gapps most likely caused your accounts and home screen to be removed.

This should only happen when using the front facing camera. This will be fixed next update.
Bummer
Losing home screens and accounts every time an update is flashed is a bummer. Putting everything back (accounts, home screens, Power Toggles settings, ...) makes me hesitate to try an update very often.
You say the problem is with gapps. Does this same problem occur with all flavors of ROMs and all flavors of gapps? I ask because my previous experience with installing ROMs has been installation of new ROMs, not updates to one already installed.
Incorrect information in battery monitor - PA 5
I've been using (and generally liking) the PA 5 for several weeks. I have noted, however, that the breakdown of battery usage, as reported by the OS, seems inaccurate. As just one example, yesterday, I started a 15-minute call shortly after unplugging my phone from the charger, with a full battery. At the end of the call, I was down to about 90% battery. That seems reasonable to me, based on past experience. The battery monitor said almost all of my battery consumption was for Cell Standby, though, with only a little consumption assigned to actual phone use. I've seen some other examples where the usage breakdown did not seem right, although I did not document them and do not recall exact details.
Am I correct that this is incorrect behavior? Are others experiencing this (or does anyone pay attention to it), either on this ROM or on other ROMs?

Android Nougat ROMs List for the BLU Life One X 2016

This is a list of Nougat ROMs for this device and it's clones.
The list will be in the following format:
ROM : Version : Device : Tested/Untested
LineageOS : 14.1 : MMXC5 / E481 : Untested
Resurrection Remix : 5.8.4 : MMXC5 / E481 : Tested
crDROID : v3.5 : MMXC5 / E481 : Tested
AOSGPX : 7.1.2 : MMXC5 / E481 : Untested
There are also ROMs for the Elephone P8000, however the first time I tried one I got into a bootloop. It could just have been that I didn't wipe my caches, or it could have been a fault in the ROM; nonetheless I haven't tried any others from that device.
I couldn't find any for other devices, let me know if you see others.
Here is the factory firmware, as according to this post (Direct Download).
Also, the stock recovery: Original Post | Direct Download.
Im currently running crDroid and I couldn't be happier. Runs far better than the original firmware and the useless marshmallow update.

Have you encountered any bugs with crDroid? Did screen on time and standby increase by any good margin because doze and other os optimizations? With stock I get 7hrs SOT with LTE half the day. 5hrs if Skype calls and such.

Only bug so far is the kill app button not working (long press the back button) and sometimes after reboot sim cards not being detected. Usually it corrects itself after a few minutes. If not, I'll just re-flash the fix
Battery gets drained pretty fast compared to lollipop, but then again I used lollipop with xposed, greenify and amplify.

Happy to hear only minor bugs. I'm waiting on black Friday SD card to ship and then I'll be able to test too.
On lollipop all I needed to use was power nap to kill unwanted wake locks. I'll definitely try to get it to work because batter life is important to me. Only reason I'm upgrading is because of older exploits that stock didn't get updates for. Other than that stock with xposed is extremely stable for me.(30-60 days between reboots)
Do you know if crDroid is using stock lollipop kernel or is it a ported kernel? That would effect battery life greatly I suppose.
review of roms
Review time. Installed and tested these roms by wiping dalvik cache, system, data, cache and internal storage. Flashed ROM then gapps then "front camera flash" patch lastly flashed sim patch. Afterwards I wiped cache and dalvik cache again before rebooting. Once I had access to settings I disabled display live/night mode/blue filter for all ROMs.
All the roms tested used about 1GB of ram (and stock ROM being around <600MB.).
Resurrection Remix : 5.8.4 : Looks to me a part of this rom was made by another group of people that were not given credit.. Default browser loads the homepage of the other group. The system FM radio app was asking for root permission(denied it). Also it had email services running before I added any accounts can't remember this being the norm. Other than that this ROM ran the best in terms of speed and ui. Uninstalled because of security concerns.
LineageOS : 14.1 : This ROM has about the same speed as resurrection which is good but the ui stuttered/not smooth. Uninstalled because ported by same user as resurrection.
crDROID : v3.5 : This one ran the worse. It was slow and stuttered throughout the ui. Missed some customizations that Resurrection had so not sure why any one would want to use this instead.
AOSGPX : Didn't bother installing because last I heard they copied and pasted code from crDRoid.
At the end of the day I reverted back to stock because of security concerns. As well as having more ram available for apps. If I had more than one phone phone I would wireshark/test connections of the ROMs to confirm but I do not have. Hopfully this helps someone.

Just wondering with the ROM testing, did you disable the LiveDisplay nonsense? It drops my FPS to about 10, and is enabled by default.
Sorry, didn't read your whole post. I didn't find UI stuttering unless I enabled weird kernel stuff, or had L Speed installed.
Does anyone happen to know if any of these ROMs fix the problem that the official MM caused which was that all camera apps created a very dark image and took extremely dark photos?

SP flash tool, scatter file and the original firmware (not a flashable zip). It's all in the original BLOX thread, buried somewhere there. Flash TWRP recovery using adb fastboot and flash super su with twrp recovery for root access.

Wow, thorough, thanks. Don't know what half those things are but I'll look them up. I guess there's no way to go straight back to Lollipop without flashing a stock ROM. I mean, by rooting it now maybe and then downgrading or something?

You could flash a lollipop twrp backup, if anyone uploaded one or if you made one before. But if you don't have it, only way is by sp flash tool and original firmware (which is not a recovery flashable zip).
Been using the Crdroid rom for a few weeks now. Havn't had any lag or extreme battery issues. Im interested in trying the resurrection remix rom since it was tested to be the fastest, tho them security issues are kinda holding me back. One thing im lookin for is front camera flash and back aswell. on Crdroid u cannot toggle it in the camera app, tho the flash works.

What are these security issues people are mentioning? Isn't a ROM a ROM? I don't get it.
Also, if crDroid works fine, you could just try any other camera app. There are several that are quite good. I wish there were videos of crDroid.

I mean with what's going on with Kaspersky being investigated for allowing certain trogens to work undetected and Kaspersky is own by Russians and since when does fm radio need root access.
Just a bit sketchy you know... But it could be just over-thinking it.

But the thing is you don't know what else has been tampered with.

Zero Camera mod screwed up my camera

Hello,
Today I attempted to make the Zero Camera Mod work. I purchased it a while ago but never got it working on Android Nougat. I figured, now that I have Android Oreo, I might give it a try again.
After a few attempts, it completely screwed up my camera.
The app recommends you to flash the zip it creates in TWRP, so I did just that. However, upon flashing, TWRP gave me a bunch of errors, mostly related to being unable to mount /data.
When I booted into the phone again, the entire camera app was gone, couldnt open it by double tapping the power button either.
I figured, let's try to flash the same zip in Magisk. So I did succesfully flash that zip in Magisk, only upon rebooting, it didn't seem to have applied correctly as everything was at default settings. However, I did get my camera app back so that was a relief.
I then started flashing different zips that the Camera Mod app created, trying to get the mod to work. This however, I should not have done. I now can't open the camera app anymore without the app crashing. When I open the camera app, everything is completely streched out, aswell as it's rotated as if I'm holding my phone horizontally even though I'm holding it vertically. Also none of the UI elements are visible. When I remove the module in Magisk, it's back to not having a camera app at all, same goes for removing the Mod in the Zero Camera Mod app.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix my camera again, WITHOUT having to just reflash the firmware?
PS. I should mention that the camera itself is not screwed up, just the camera app. If I take a photo with, lets say snapchat or whatsapp, it works fine.
Yeasterday I had a similar problem. After modding the camera and rebooting the camera icon completely had completely gone away. I know it's a pain in the ass, but best thing you can do is to flash the firmware back to stock again (or at least flash a custom ROM).
I tried the zero camera mod with stock rom with custom kernel (did not work) and with Renovated Ice rom (worked).
In my experience, I could say the new version of Zero CameraMod doesn't work with custom kernels (I had NK), as I could not even restore the stock camera with the zero camera app. I love zero camera mod (also bought it) but I think we must waitn until the developer could fix compativility issues that we're all reporting.
1. Dirty flash the OS.
or
2. Use one of your TWRP backups, and return to pre-camera mod.
Quick, simple, and effective.
