[Q]Camera Issues - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right, I'm running catyclasym 5.1 with elementalX kernal and the Google camera is nothing short of absolute rubbish....
I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same issues and if there's a fix for it.... It will not focus and all pictures on it seem smokey and just general bad quality. I did try out a free version of Manual Camera but after a while I got force closes.... plus I'd rather stick to Google apps.
Thanks in advance

You have tried cleaning the lense? Because my camera is clear and fast every time

Is that just by giving it a good polish or taking it apart mate?

Just a good polishing. It's definitely the first thing to try.

I'll give that a shot... been looking at different camera apps and apparently the S6 camera is awesome.... might hunt for the apk if I can't get this one performing how I want it to.

Synergy 1.7 camera focus

Just did a wipe flash from Synergy 1.6 to 1.7 and noticed the rear camera doesn't focus. Anyone else? At least that g dialer is gone. All else seem fine too.
Edit: Embarrassed to say a lens cleaning was what it needed.
Quadrant speed almost back to stock 5,000.
Horrible Google voice dialer still there if I try to dial from bluetooth. Man that was licked like 6 years ago on dumb phones.
Overall smoothness GREAT.

Camera problems

I've been doing a lot of work trying to get a new ROM out. I thought it was just on the one I'm developing, but it seems this is present in all other ROMs, aosp and sense alike. Whenever I take a picture it used to show up in the little box by the shutter button. Straight to camera shots right? Now its not showing up in my gallery whatsoever. I have to browse through a file explorer to get to "100media" to find the pictures.
I've tried formatting my SD, RUU back to 1.85 nothing. RUU to 3.18 and its still doing it..... What the hell man

Sorry man I did read your post. That's not normal but I have no idea how to fix that issue.
I do recall another post about the same issue but I don't think that was ever resolved either.

I also read it but I have no clue what your problem is. Got a warranty? I don't know man. This is a great phone, but I've seen more people with problems... I'm on my second HOX myself and the battery is garbage on this one (failed at replacing it).
My apologies fellas... I just found out Its these senseless roms I'm working on apparently... I must be deleting something that prevents the pics from going into camera shots... I'm using bpears latest carbon build and the pics are going in their correct spots, and zenonHD is working properly also. But on rebelrom and senseless 5 they go into 100media
This stuff is so confusing...

That's where they're supposed to go on Sense ROMs. If you take a burst shot they go into 100burst.

[App] Lenovo SNAPit and SEEit (Beats stock Camera)

Here is a replacement for stock Camera and Gallery app.
In my opinion this is much better than the stock camera and gallery app. Try it out yourself and let me know.

Yup Greenify does the job.
it doesnt seem to be destroying my battery, but I have yet to purchase betterbatterystats. I used AppOps to remove some of the permissions. Will report back when I've taken some pictures.

Thanks for the suggestion on AppOps. I have never heard of it before until now. It looks like something I'll use a lot. I've since re-installed this camera and give it a go!

Yup forgot to mention about AppsOpsXposed Yea I use that alot + Xprivacy and Greenify = Awesomeness.
AppOpsXposed + Xprivacy are 2 reasons why I don't mind installing any app because I can basically block every permission/access I want.

Please see attached images from my Huawei 5Mp camera (resized for upload to XDA) ... firstly stock Camera app v2.0.002, then secondly Lenovo SnapIt v3.5.6. Both images are 2592x1944px but original stock Camera photo is 850Kb whereas original SnapIt photo is 2.18Mb. For all the difference I can (not) see, I think I'll just stick with the stock Camera app (its a lot less confusing
Look at the center building and you can see the different. Snapit Look better.
They look the same to me too.

I wear glasses, and have been taking pics for 30+ years, and I can safely say that the difference is there, but minimally.

Seems that the compression is less in the Lenovo app. The difference is there.

Experiences with ART?

Was searching through dev settings when to my surprise I saw dalvik/art. Anybody want to share their experiences so far? Improvements or bugs?

I just turned ART on so I would like to know as well...
I haven't had any apps that didn't like ART yet. Definitely makes things faster/smoother having the apps pre-compiled.

ART is part of KK so yes, it would be included. I turned it on and things are really smooth. Loving my M8.

Just because it's part of KitKat doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be included; the HTC One M7 didn't have it because Sense 5.5 and below weren't optimized for it.
However, I just switched to ART to see how it runs - so far everything has been smooth but then again I only switched about 2 hours ago.
I used art on my i605 and Toro. Saw more of a difference on those phones. This phone is just too smooth for art I disabled it not long after enabling because a couple of my apps don't get along with it.

Threes. Order of chaos. A few older Gameloft games as well. And then some misc apps that have been abandoned.

Polaris Office Viewer doesnt seem to work with ART. Also the camera began to become a little finicky for some reason. had to switch back
I was using ART for a bit but honestly I don't see any speed improvements over dalvik on this phone. My DNA yes, it was night and day, but on this it's snappy as hell either way. I switched back to dalvik to use xposed

Arts been working great with no issues for 3 days.

Why can't you use xposed if you use art

Because art is experimental and can change before final release. It is a lot of work to port xposed to art and the dev does not want to waste his time.
i tried last night. took FOREVER to reboot and then go through starting all the apps. then my tap to wake and gestures didnt work. i went back to dalvik and all is fine. did i need to let set in and cool off?? and yes the phone is stupid smooth normal can art make even smoother? idk
I've enabled art myself took forever to start up actually was getting a tad irritated then it finally came back on in my opinion it runs a little smoother haven't had any problems at all with apps

Nexus 5 Began Lagging After Root?

Hi! So I just rooted my N5, flashed Franco Kernel, Xposed+Gravity Box. So after this when I'm at the home screen there is an ever so slight lag when I click the recents button or go home from app tray, etc. So basically it kind of lags on the home screen, no widgets or anything. Is this my fault and is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
mess with the settings, find what you like. if youre still unhappy, try a different kernel, or different rom. try a few, find what you enjoy and what fills your needs. then youll be trully happy

Okay I'll try to fix this or I'll flash a rom. I think it's Gravitybox that's making this beauty lag.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
It is gravity box. I quit using it for the same reason. Now, if I want features like what GB offers, I just use slimkat... Which has most if not all plus more hard coded

Oh I knew it may have been the culprit! Well I think I may just flash a custom rom for the features and avoid the lag. Thanks for the awesome advice!
