Hi,
I was on Marshmallow Developer Preview for 4 months and then flashed the final stock image on release. I just noticed the front camera isn't acknowledged anymore!
The camera app doesn't show the option to switch camera to front, and neither does the settings page show resolution options for front camera photos and videos.

hello everyone. good day to all of you.
phone: samsung s+ i9001
ROM: CyanogenMod 10 by ivendor - Alpha 6
there's a problem i am facing that is quite troublesome.
forgive me if i could not explain this matter in a clearer manner but i'll try..
after taking the first picture, the picture taken will show (preview? and some apps do ask an option to save or discard it) and usually by clicking the 'back' button, the camera app will go back to its shooting mode to capture another picture.
problem with my camera apps is that after clicking 'back', it will not go back go its shooting mode! instead, it still shows the first picture taken and when i try to tap the screen to focus, it will not focus as the previous picture is still there.
camera apps that i've tried: Camera ZOOM FX, lgCamera, Camera FV-5, and. Pro HDR Camera.
only Fast Burst Camera able to go back to its shooting mode after the first taken picture. but the quality is not as good as the above apps.
help please? and thank you.
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?
My device is Asus Zenfone 3 ZE520KL. I use the latest 8.0.0 stock ROM without root.
For Google Camera 6.1, the following port works only if you tweak a few settings:
MGC_6.1.021_V2e-fu24_Aux3way_4Lens-04h-dual.apk by fu24
When the camera turns on for the first time, the viewfinder will black out for both rear and selfie cameras. The way to fix it:
Go to the settings of the camera (by swipe to the rightmost screen and select settings)
Select BSG MOD settings (the topmost option)
Select FIX (the bottommost option)
Select "Default GCam CaptureSession" (the second bottommost option)
Checking both checkboxs (namely disabling Google Camera default capture session in both Photo mode and Video mode)
On my device, selfie photos have a green tint except when HDR+ is turned off. You can fix this under FIX mentioned above. Under FIX, enable "Fix Green Tint" and it will work.
The Google Camera port perfectly supports 16.3 MP (4656 x 3496) for the phone and is very stable for daily use. The only thing that hasn't worked (as of now) is when shooting 16.3 MP (4:3) and with HDR+ turned off. Normally the camera produces a photo of 4656 x 3496 with HDR+ or HDR+ Enhanced. When HDR+ is turned off, a low resolution photo (1920 x 1440) is taken instead. There is no such problem if other resolutions are used instead, such as 8 MP (4:3, 3264 x 2448).
In addition to Camera, what also works on my device:
Video (even when Back Camera is UHD 4K)
Portrait
Night Sight
Lens Blur
Panorama
Slow motion doesn't work, as the video has a very weird tint and is not usable.
Another Google Camera 6.1 port that works for me:
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e-fu24_02c.apk by fu24 (The Camera blacks out at first. You need to go to settings once. It seems this will automatically disable Google Camera default capture session in both Photo mode and Video mode for you. The viewfinder begins to work when you return.)
Other Google Camera 5.x ports that work for me:
GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18d1.apk by fu24
GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk by Arnova8G2
If you can't download from any of the above links, for backups you can go to celsoazevedo's website and search for the two modders.
Thanks again for all the hard work from fu24 and Arnova8G2.
Thanks for your sharing, I use stock 8.0 too.
I tried using this version, MGC_6.1.021_V2e-fu24_Aux3way_4Lens-04h-dual.apk, and it works very well.
Thanks
I have to login to my bank account and I need to scan a photoTAN image but the app by default uses the main camera which is broken, is there any way to make the wide screen back camera as the default one to be used by apps on my phone?
Any ideas anyone?
I'm also searching for the same issue but no answer
This post may give you an idea:
Change default rear camera?
Hey guys, My main rear camera is broken and I was wondering if my default camera can be changed to the wide-angle lens, because the wide angle lens works fine. The phone is a Moto X4 and it has a dual rear camera set up. So my question is...

My OnePlus' front popup camera had stopped working ( it would not Pop-up) and since the battery health was bad, I switched to a new phone.
So I tried flashing crDroid 9, the inbuilt camera app had 4 zoom option ".7x", "1x", "2.2x" and another "2.2x".
when I click on the third option the front camera popped up but the preview is still of back camera, and when I try to switch to front cam it simply goes blank for a second and shows the back cam preview.
So my question is,
is it a problem with persist.img? if not are there any fixes?
