Camera not saving pictures - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought to flash a 4.4.4 zip of my stock ROM after updating my boot loader via 5.0 ota.
After that I went back to 5.0 stock.now the stock camera app doesn't seem to show pics in the gallery. Other camera apps work. Also if I try to share the blank image in say WhatsApp the picture suddenly appears.
This happens with cm roms as well.
Any ideas to what might fix this.
I'm using xt1031 on LP bootloader

same issue on my phone, please help how to fix it

[Q] camera firmware flashed improperly. Possible fix?

After about 5-7 seconds of recording in 720p I was getting recording failed problems every time. It wasn't doing that before or at least not very often until recently. So I decided to update the camera firmware. I go to the camera firmware update screen by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* I selected phone to CAM FW Write and I go to update the firmware to version 2.0.3 it downloads up to 225/253 pieces then stops and says the update is a success, then it tells me to reboot. I reboot the phone with the volume down and power button, and I find out the camera firmware isn't installed properly. Now under camera info it is displaying.

I don't remember exactly what it said before but I know it said something different. The rear facing camera is now messed up and displaying green. This is happening with all the different camera apps that I tried on the market. I also did a factory reset, cleared the cache and wiped the data. Still I'm getting the same problem. The camera info is displaying the same thing to so I know for a fact that the factory reset didn't reset everything. Maybe someone here who has the same phone can help me out by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* and going to "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check." Tell me what it says if you don't know how to directly fix the problem. If someone here does know how to fix the problem it would be helpful though. I'm rooted and I'm currently running stock Froyo 2.2.1 if that helps.
Once I figured out how to root and flash with the Infuse, I didn't waste much time at all staying on Froyo. However, I've had video recording issues that ended up being caused by the kernel. I suppose it's possible that it could be an issue with the Froyo Community Kernel (I'm guessing/assuming that's how you rooted). Any particular reason you'd not want to just back up your apps and upgrade to Gingerbread?

I'm rooted and on gingerbread 2.3.6 now actually. It didn't fix the camera, but I'm able to go into the camera firmware settings and it's now showing

Every time I try to flash the firmware now it says "firmware update failed try again." I read somewhere that you have to remove the camera before doing a camera firmware update. I opened the phone up and it doesn't look like the camera can easily be removed and put back in.

I hate to keep harping on the same thing, but I'm not so sure it's a camera firmware issue, and you may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you happened to upgrade with Heimdall, and you're not already running one of them, it may be worth trying one of the kernels in this post, for ****s and giggles:

I've never had any issue with the camera, aside from what was caused by a kernel, so aside from that advice, I've nothing else to offer. Good luck.

Camera in custom KK roms

hi guys.
so there is something that is driving me crazy here.
i own a XT 925 and the update for KK 4.4.2 has already came for my device. but unfortunately when i updated, i got the popping noise issue and i really didnt like it, so i went back to JB 4.1.2
but the problem is: I WANT A KK ROM!
so i'm flashing a lot of KK roms and there is always one problem: the CAMERA.
all cameras that came in the kk roms i'm flashing arent good. i mean, bad quality, it doesnt focus properly.
but the stock jb camera is perfect.
so i have already tried a lot of things, download stock camera apks, change in system/app, try to install it like any apk but i just can't, the phone won't do it. it just says "app not installed" and that's it.
so i would like to ask you guys what can i do about this...
1) is there a way to fix this "app not installed" issue? i need to change the Camera to a good one which can focus properly so i can take good pics (i've already tried moto x camera apk, but again, it's just not as good as stock 4.1.2 was...stock jb camera focus a lot better)
2) if i upgrade my phone to official KK, and flash a custom rom which is KKBL, will i be able to install a stock camera APK on that custom rom?
i just dont know what to do anymore...i don't want to stay on JB, i want KK. but i also want good Camera
please someone save me from this !!
thanks

[HELP] camera freezes with custom roms

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

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!!

Camera Problem on Stock Rom

I got this problem on my camera results. The color and texture of the images produce is such a big difference before capturing and after it captured. Its quite annoying and disappointing to see such images not quite good in quality after the update to lollipop. Im using a stock rom with Build number 18.6.A.0.175 and says that its my latest rom, I dont receive any OTA update such as 182.
Is there someone who can solve this problem?
Thanks!
if you don't receive update, i think you have root.
if you have root, flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ashable-camera-blobs-morpho-settings-t3281766
if you haven't root, flash .182 ftf to your phone via flashtool.
Still the problem
I've alredy flash that camera file zip via recovery but nothing has change, still the results are just like using old one which is the stock camera app of. 175. Help please
sorry for my bad english ?
It does work I've flashed it myself to get the updated files. Try clearing the data from all the camera apps and wiping caches

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.
