Just wondering if anyone would know why my OnePlus camera will take pictures like this depending on the lighting.

That's a very well known bug with this device. It occurs when using flash with any camera other than the stock camera. There's no fix other than using the stock camera (CameraNext).

Through a long boring series of accidents, I am now pretty much stuck on the ROM that's installed on my tablet. It's a pretty good ROM, but it has a bug in the camera software that prevents me from recording video from the front-facing camera. With the rear facing camera it records just fine. I guess I can live with it if I have to, but everything worked perfectly on the stock rom that came with my tablet. So I'm wondering how deep into the guts of the tablet the software for the camera has to go, and if there's any hope that I can replace the faulty bits of software on my current OS with the working bits from the stock OS. Both are based on Gingerbread 2.3.5 so I'm hoping it's possible.
I've tested a few replacement camera applications from the google play store, but they are all unable to record off the front camera, so I think this suggests that it's an underlying driver or other library thing. Does anyone know what files are associated with interfacing the camera to the camer app? Are they independent of the kernel, or is the kernel part of this mess? I can still flash a kernel, but I haven't tried for fear it will mess up the current ROM.
Let me be more specific about the problem:
1. front camera works fine for taking pictures or streaming over wifi/3g with those types of apps
2. If I'm using the rear camera I can switch to video mode, but if I then swap to the front camera the app force closes. Conversely, if I'm using the front camera and I switch to video mode, the app also force closes.

I'm using the default camera app on Beanstalk and I've also installed the 4.4 camera app but I experienced the same issue.
I don't even have the option to use HDR on the main camera and I've looked through the settings, but can't find anything relating to it.
By HDR mode I mean the front camera takes several pictures with different exposures and merges them together, it's annoying because it takes about 2 seconds and you must hold camera perfectly still to get it not to be blurry.
If I use the front camera while using Snapchat I do not have any issues. Any idea what could be causing this? How else should troubleshoot?
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?
Anytime that I attempt to open the standard [non-wide angle] front camera, I receive an unknown error warning (see screenshot). Have reset phone, etc.
Sony test utility shows error in standard front cam, however the wide-angle front cam functions normally. Rather than send the phone in for repair, I'm wondering if it's possible to have the front camera open on the wide-angle by default?
Unfortunately, once the camera app is open, the switch to wide angle is not functional, so there's no way that I can activate the wide-angle front camera. Any ideas? Thanks

Is a bug
It is not a bug. I do not have this problem at all. First.......
-Tell me what mods you have install
-tell me what you have for root and if magisk what modules
The camera error is being caused by something you have flashed or modded. Worst case scenario your camera is broken

I think the camera module is broken, as the phone is unrooted and unmodded, running the latest official stock for the region (Customized US). I might not bother to send it in for repair, as I don't use the front cameras much, anyway.
BUT- Is there any way to have the camera app open the wide-angle front camera by default? This would circumvent the problem. Thanks.

Probably not unless you know to edit an app and recompile the app. But good luck cause Sonys camera is tied into the framework so mess something and ur back to square one
Hello, I have a problem with rear camera on my Nokia 7.2, Lineage 18.1. In the attachment there is the comparison. Front camera is ok, video mode is ok, but rear camera is very off, regardless app beside WhatsApp. Outside it is, let's say, acceptable, but whenever it's not sun the results are terrible. Does it happen to you too? Is it fixable? Does it happen on stock ROM too? Do you know where the problem comes from?
Thanks.
edit1: I continue my research. Maybe my progress will help someone with similar issues. Found out my camera chip is Samsung S5KGM1SP. Some of the GCAMs have option for chip-specific white balance, one which is working for me is from BSG - mgc_8.1.101_A9_GV1u_ENG, I set the autobalance chip and in the viewfinder it's still bad, but when I take a photo it's alright with the righ WB.
Same problem on Pixel Experience 10 (partially solved by setting Pixel 4a in camera app) and Lineage OS 18.1. I suppose that it goes from non-stock vendor.
Stock rom&camera works good, no yellowing.
