I installed Resurrection Remix (RR-N-v5.8.0-20170114-kenzo-Nightly.zip) on my kate. I also have microG installed. Everything works great except for two things:
The camera is extremely grainy and low resolution. The phone has a 13 MP camera but the image looks like 5 MP tops. Additionally, the camera has terrible stuttering issues when moving. The same thing happens with recording video. I have tried installing alternative camera apps from F-droid, but the problem persists.
GPS works very badly, it detects a few satellites at most and there seems to be no support for GLONASS and a few other navigation systems. Only GPS satellites are displayed in SatStat.
Is it caused by the wrong drivers? If so, how can I install the Kate drivers on this ROM?

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.
Bumping for help
Hi, this is my first thread here, and I really have a big problem been occurring since I started modding my Galaxy S3 I747 (AT&T version) using CyanogenMod, I have tried Android Lollipop on it, but I had issues with my Google Camera app, front camera, and also video. Each time I open my google camera app and choose video the app crash saying "Unfortunately, camera has stopped". and each time I try to take a pic using front camera, the app freeze then run back again without taking my photo. So the issue is only in the front camera, and in the video. I have tried Retrica app, works fine for me for both Front and rear camera. any other application that uses the camera crashed the whole phone.
Please if someone cracked this part it would be great, If there is a way to fix the camera issue.
Note: Any app that uses front camera crashes or show blank screen when viewing camera, like Skype, and more. show only blank!
Currently I have CyanogenMod 13, unofficial Android 6.0.
Device: Note 5 Ai
Global Beta Rom
'Camera keeps stopping'
This message popped up. Then I restarted my phone. I could open my camera. Rear camera is working fine. But front camera doesn't work. When I touch the icon of front camera it switches into main camera with the features of front camera. I mean rear camera with front camera features. A screenshot of front camera has been attached.
To resolve this problem I did
1) Clear Data and Cache of Camera App through Installed App and Reboot the Device.
2) Make a factory reset.
3) Update from V10.0.2.0 to V10.0.4.0
4) Make a hardware test.
None of the above method worked.
What's the problem and what's the solution? I see many redmi note 5 ai users are facing problems with camera and none of them got any solution.
How can I get rid of this problem? Please help.
Thanks.
I have had no issues at all for almost an year with this phone. I was running oreo ever since I bought this phone. Suddenly, a day or two before upgrading it to pie 9.0, I found out in my Snapchat app that there was no back camera sign. First I thought, some weird snap update, but then I found out in system Camera app, it was even not showing the back camera. Whenever I would click on the rear camera sign from the top in Camera app, it would keep on swapping to the frontal secondary camera and then back to the primary frontal camera but no back camera was working. Also I found out that my Flashlight icon is hardened or greyed out, like it's been disabled forcefully. I can make it work using some other app, but it is frustrating why this is happening.
Now I am on android 9, rooted, and this problem keeps on coming and going. At times the back camera won't even work or open with the error "Camera not working" etc. Sometimes, the back camera would work but with only 3 weirded resolutions, like 12MP, 16MP, and some other. and the video mode will be extremely large or zoomed in at 16MP. Suddenly, the camera will start working normally again with all the perfect default resolutions. I tried everything from SAFE MODE to CLEARING THE CAM APP, RESETTING THE APP, but nothing works. All it seems like that camera has suddenly came to life and has a self-consciousness and a mood which it is controlling itself. Sometimes it wants to work and at times, it simply just gets disabled. Any idea what could be the problem? I am rooted using MAGISK.
Simular camera problems with Lenovo tab v7
I have a Lenovo tab v7 with almost the same problems, the rear camera wont work but occasionally the front camera works and the flash LED is dead.
Running Android 9 Pie as well, but not rooted yet.
Any ideas about what we can do about it, is the camera hardware due to be replaced?

It suddenly started happening almost a month ago, I was on oreo 8 and then upgraded to pie 9 but the problem persisted. It kept working for few days and then started to make problems again. I tried to read many forums for android users with the same problem but still haven't found a single complete fix for this problem other than that the rear camera needs to be refixed. But I am finding it hard to believe that even if camera was getting bad, there is no point of FlashLight getting greyed out/disable from the notification bar. It seems more like some kind of a process is not releasing the rear camera and flashlight module/process.
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.
