I just want to let you know I finally made the ROM jump from MaximusHD to CyanogenMod 12.1 and it went superb!
Before starting this I thought I would be busy the whole evening (or more than one) so I prepared for the worst. I still use this phone on a daily basis. I got another HTC oldy as a backup just in case. My HTC One S isn't recognized on my PCs anymore since jumping in the swimming pool with it last summer so I had an extra handicap not being able to upload from PC to device.
I updated TWRP to the latest. Cleared storage. Rebooted in MaximusHD again ignoring the setup wizard as much as possible. Once booted I opened the web browser and downloaded the CM12.1 05DEC Unofficial ROM and TK GApps mini directly to my device. (All links available in the specific thread here on XDA) Booted in recovery again and flashed CM12.1 and TK GApps. All my apps and settings were uploaded/installed when the device booted CM12.1.
After boot all I had to do is change my Mobile 3G APN setting.
After one hour of work I couldn't believe it went so quick! And easy! The experience of CM12.1 on this 3 year old phone is unbelievable. I thought I would experience more lag and slow responses but... none of that. I can't notice any difference in speed comparing with the MaximusHD ROM.
I hope this stimulates others to make the update.

I've been tempted by the idea of jumping the MaximusHD rom ship for a while too. Are you happy with the camera performance? One of the reasons I'm reluctant to go the non-Sense rom way is the lack of the full hardware access to the camera on those roms.
I just jumped the ship three days ago. I didn't use the camera besides taking 3 pictures for test purposes. I'm a long time Camera ZOOM FX user so the app installed itself again. I replaced the CM12 camera app in the drawer with it.
I need more user experience time with the camera to tell you it lacks in any way.
What, besides performance (speed) issues, will affect the camera not being able to have full hardware access?

A couple of things I remember were missing from non-Sense camera apps are the ability to shoot slow motion video (lower res but higher fps) and the HDR mode for photos.
Not that these two produced any usable results though .
I believe the other parameters like photo/video resolution are adjustable with the stock CM camera and ZOOM FX apps, right?

I can't find slow motion video. I never saw it in the MaximusHD ROM either. ZOOM FX cam does have the HDR option, just like with MaximusHD. But seriously, it's nothing more than a gimmick. Do you ever use it?

With stock CM camera I don't see these options. This cam app is really minimal. Some say you need to set resolution by entering the hamburger menu upper-left but I don't have the menu. App version is 2.0.002.
With ZOOM FX Premium all resolutions settings are there.
When booting my phone this morning I noticed that there is still one MaximusHD ROM leftover. I guess it's not really part of the ROM. It's the boot screen. The first screen you see when cold booting your phone. It's a screen with HTC logo and the development warning text in red underneath it. Can I easily get rid of it?

It's not part of the ROM, it's rather a part of the bootloader itself. You can change it by flashing a modified bootloader version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38387544#post38387544
Just read the thread on how to do that and find the one that fits your HBOOT version.
Coming from MaximusHD my hboot is at version 2.16... I don't see any download for that.
I've been using 20151223 UNOFFICIAL for some time now without the camera/flashlight issue. I've been using the camera more than once during the holidays.
Only trouble I have is getting cellular (3G) back online after flight modus. It's not possible. I have to restart the device every time. Anybody else experiencing this?
No, working great here on 2015-12-23 Unofficial HBOOT 2.16 from Flyer. When going out of plane mode, it takes around 15 seconds to get H icon (for HSDPA, 3G if you prefer). It may be a problem with the SIM card or advanced operator settings.
Those of you who think you solved the problem by "doing a clean flash" feel free to show yourself out, you're not helping us we've already done that. Some of us several times.
OnePlus forums are broken for me, I can't register, it keeps just sending me back to the OP home page. Several people have the same problem there. So this is the last hope for those of us with pie camera issues, I don't know that OP has acknowledged camera issues so if we want any help, the best thing we can do is work together, make some noise, so OP can actually see the problem. Personally, no amount of reflashing, downloading, etc will fix the issue on pie for me. I'm rooted with Magisk and unlocked bootloader obviously, that's it. No kernels or custom "ROM" or anything.
Again, if you've solved it, good for you, get out. You have nothing to contribute to this thread and I know this forum is absolutely loaded with trolls who just blame everyone else for every ROM problem.

Yep, my friend also works in testing firmware and hardware compatibility on android phones and as soon as I told him more than just a few people (I've seen at least 15 different people report this issue, and let's be honest a lot of people won't bother to report it and even more people don't have accounts here to post it if they do have the issue) had it he said sounds like firmware issue, possibly related to hardware revisions.
Boring explanation warning: For example there may be very slight differences in say CPU or camera hardware, enough that it passed bench testing or was supposed to not even require bench testing because it was guaranteed 100% compatible, but as time goes on, maybe just one line of code somewhere does something that causes the very slight difference to manifest itself in a way that becomes apparent to everyday users.
That's just one possibility out of dozens though.
I agree in 100%, it's something broken with camera on Oxygen based on Pie.
I use the stock ROM, i did full wipe etc without positive effects.
We wan't fix or update to use the phone normally...
What is the Camera issue ?
Maybe if you are specific and tell us what is wrong with the Camera ?
How can anybody help if you can not be bothered to say what the problem is ?
.... Do not have kittens, I done a Google search and all I found was several months ago some talk about focusing.
I took some pictures ... not many but so far so good.
I would be more than happy to complain .... what do I look for ?

For example: Snapchat app. After 5s app frozen, black screen. On other phones everything ok...
Oneplus 6 & Tapatalk
For me, when I open snapchat, the camera will usually work for 5 to 20 seconds, no more, then the image freezes for a second before it goes black, and then every app that uses the camera for a little while will freeze/crash. Including the stock camera app if you try to access camera features in those apps.
Say I just turned on my phone, I go to open snapchat and the screen works as a viewfinder like normal for maybe 5-20 seconds, then the image freezes for a second before it goes black. The snapchat app no longer responds. If I try to open the camera in another app (say discord, stock camera app, instagram, etc) that app then freezes too. Half the time the only way to fix it is to force close all involved apps.
It goes back to working again within 5-10 minutes but you only have generally 5-10 seconds to take a picture before it freezes and does the same thing.
Occasionally when I open the stock camera app after snapchat freezes, it closes itself and a little toast notification on the bottom of the screen says "Unknown error". Usually camera app opens fine after that.
I think this tread explains very well and in detail, the REAL problems with OP6...
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-6-camera-takes-blurry-and-noisy-pictures.864226/
Painted faces, lack of detail, wrong temperature colour....etc,etc....
I am also experiencing these issues since i upadated to official Pie, didn't have any problem with DP1 & DP3 thought. Also i only have this on Snapchat, didn't experience any problems with the official camera.
Let's hope it's a known issue and that it will be solved in the next update.
Where exactly do we complain?
I have the same issue as well. My fiance does too. I'm on xXx module with EX kernel and my fiance is 100% stock with a locked bootloader.
I've done a clean flash before as well.
Sounds like it's either a snapchat issue or OP issue. I think there was some notes from other users having issues taking pictures with WhatsApp since pie. Could be related

Try emailing both snapchat support and posting on the OnePlus 6 official forum (on the oneplus website). I feel like it's not snapchat because it's happened on other apps for me.
I am on OB4 and have some other camera issues. When U open the camera app and select Timelapse all I get is the video capture screen and no option to set the time lapse setting. I alse get the standard 1x , 2x zoom option and it all it does is zoomes.
focus sucks
I'm on stock Pie, no root - some examples here how the focus socks: auto mode, (1) normal photo (2)about 3.5 zoom (3)~x5 (4) x8 I have gopro modified handlebar attachment on my bike, so consider it as if those pics were taken still and steady from a tripod.
focus sucks cont.
My phone/camera field stand - 2 pics, the 3rd pick shows zoomed detail of one of the islands there taken with my cheap, pocket Casio EX-ZR800 which has unbelievable zoom: x18 optical + x36 so called 'SR Zoom, does 1000fps as well, 224x64only let's hope they bring some of that technology to phones soon.

After today update i dont have issues with Snapchat.
Wysłane z mojego ONEPLUS A6003 przy użyciu Tapatalka
I also experience trouble with the camera. Zoomed in using snap. When I take pictures with stock camera app the shutter seems rly slow. Bad focus etc. Everything worked fine before Android pie. Good thread!
I was waiting to see if it would immediately **** up after I posted this, but it's been a few days since the last snapchat update and I no longer have the problem at all, at least that I ever noticed.

Same here. At first I thought it's cause I don't let it focus anymore since that causes the issue but it seems to be resolved for now. Now time for the rest of the pie issues to be fixed.
Agree. Happening with all the apps which use the system's camera. However, If we use the Camera app then it will work. but any 3rd party app that uses system camera it got stuck and crash.
Hello everyone, I have a fairly new OnePlus 7 Pro (GM1910) and needed to root it for something. I was on the latest OxygenOS, 10.3 and rooted it after several attempts. However, I wasn't able to do what I needed on OxygenOS 10 so I downgraded to OxygenOS 9. Rooted again, did everything I needed and formatted the phone several times, installed OxygenOS 10.0.3.GM21AA. I also re-locked the bootloader.
The issue is that whenever I launch my stock camera app, it tries to load image from the camera but then crashes before showing anything from the camera. Camera works in Instagram, WhatsApp and some other apps just fine, as well as during face recognition. In addition, rotation sensor doesn't work at all. Auto-rotate on and off, it just doesn't work. Finally, the proximity sensor doesn't work either. It doesn't turn off the screen when I'm on a call and hold the phone near my face. It doesn't change screen brightness when it's on auto.
These all happened at once. I believe it all started around when I was first trying to root the phone with Magisk on OxygenOS 10.3. I used the phone on OxygenOS 9 with and without root, these 3 problems were also there. Now I'm on OxygenOS 10.0.3, unrooted, bootloader locked but problems still exist. It's driving me crazy having all these issues even after turning everything back to stock, factory settings. I spent 4 days on this whole process and ended up with these annoying problems...
I can provide any additional information you need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if you can just direct me towards the right direction to identify why I'm having these problems.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Update: The camera app just started working after another factory reset. A little off topic but now I'm having another weird issue where the Android Setup doesn't see my last Google Drive backup but sees the older ones from a few days ago.
I warmly greet. Please I need help. After installing Pixel experience Plus 13.0 in 2022, I marveled at the snappy ROM. After the initial setup I wanted to connect George from online banking but it broke. I am not receiving a confirmation SMS from the bank. Another problem was the distorted ringtone. Sound in games didn't work either. If these bugs were fixed - it's the best ROM ever. Xiaomi 12

Well I'm also using pixel experience 13 on Xiaomi 12 I downloaded from droidwin I think, if the distorted sound is in every app , try going to setting,go to trebble settings, Qualcomm features, then toggle off if it's on, I had few issues I fixed a lot but a few left if y'all can help me I would be grateful,
Issues I had
1.sound distorted,I switched off an option in phh trebble in settings, Qualcomm features, then there was a option toggled on, I disabled it
2.120 Hz wasn't working, there isn't an option in setting,I saw a video, just the beginning steps can fix prblm,now screen is always at 120hz
3 camera app was bad can't use different lens slow app,I used gcamator
Remaining problem
1.cant use in display fingerprint, when I go to setup it says press the fingerprint sensor,but its under display and the area doesn't light up
