Systemwide Front Camera Disappearance - Please Help

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.

[APP] Google camera ports that work on 8.0.0 stock ROM

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 thought i read somewhere about waving at the camera and it then taking a picture. i have tried the back lens and selfie lens and its not working for me.
i have looked in the camera settings and found nothing.
is it working for anyone?
tnx

I have and it works just fine.

yeah i was choosing the wrong option. selecting selfie icon does not give me the settings to turn on. if i choose front camera i can set the settings.

The settings I had to change to get it to work was turning on auto white balance (pics were green without it turned on), then I went to the advanced->ancillary camera settings to turn on the ID2 and ID4 cameras so the buttons would show on screen. Renamed ID2 to wide lens, and ID4 to Macro lens. I don't know if I used correct terms for names, the ID2 is the 0.5 camera and the ID4 is the flower icon camera from original camera. ID1, ID,3, ID5 options seems to crash app so I couldn't figure out which one goes to the physical 4th camera on back, so no clue how to access that particular camera plus I don't know what it's for.
Video and everything else appears to work without crashing. It does crash as I play with setting to get it to work better.
Not sure how many people are using the phone still being 2 years old, and didn't see post in the apps section unless I missed it. So here's something in case someone happens to still be using the phone like I am.
