Camera not working after 8 AUG 2021 Update
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if any of you guys had this same issue with your phones. My Zenfone 7 pro updated overnight (WW-30.41.69.89) and I woke up to a faulty camera.
At first, I would only crash when I tried to take a selfie. Back camera worked fine all day. I tried to take a selfie at night with some friends, and it crashed, never to open again.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Clearing Camera Cache & Storage
Factory Reset (Soft & via Recovery Mode)
Downgrade to Android 10 with Asus Official ROM (UL-I002D-WW-99.99.99.99-user)
Upgrade again the downgraded Android 10.
Install WW-30.41.69.89 via microSD & recovery mode.
Tried installing GCam. Version 8 Crashes. Version 7 works only on 1x and crashes in any other mode, it also looks upside down.
The thing is, it actually works with WhatsApp, Instagram and so, but the camera is also upside down.
Next thing to try would be to unlock the bootloader and try a different ROM but, I don't really want to deal with the Netflix and banking apps issues.
Of course, Asus asked to send over the phone, and it feels kind of silly because I believe it's a software problem. This reminds me of the Pixel Cursed Camera...
Any ideas you could share?
[Edit 1]
The camera is fully working again with GCam 8. Unfortunately, the stock camera doesn't work on selfie.
Now, I'm convinced it's a software malfunction. Oddly enough, it started working again after trying to fix inaccurate location on Google Maps. It asked to use the camera... it crashed, I rebooted the system and got the camera working properly.
Did you try GCam.
Did you try camera when your clean (no other apps installed fresh from wipe)
I'm rooted bank apps working fine

Hello! Thanks for you answer. Yes, GCam kind of works... looks upside down.
It still crashes with no apps installed. Will try rooting.
Did you root with magisk or any other ?
Regards!

Nice what about camera?
If you have root you may want to look at app ops on app manager from f droid.
Look at the permission calculator has. Very disturbing

By mistake I ordered a K3, not the note version.
From what I came to know is that this device is intended for the Asian market only.
The phone has really bad software, and after a bit of searching on this forum and Google I have yet to find an answer to the following questions:
Is it possible to install another rom on this phone?
Are there any out there?
Is it the same phone as the A6000 (or does it accept the same roms)?
I have rooted/installed firware on phones before.
I am sorry if I overlooked any relevant information.
Nobody?
I managed to get a custom rom working, i'll make a post in this topic to help others out.

}
On your current (stock) rom:
- Download all the software needed: https://ufile.io/a8497
- Enable USB Debugging after connecting it to your pc.
- Download TWRP for A6000 (unzip on your pc)
- Download K30-W_MIUI6_5.1.23_liuxingghost-0501251930-RUS-UK-MIUI.SU_v2.zip and place it on your phone's SD-card!
- Open "Boot-TWRP_A6000.bat"
- Phone will reboot into recovery
- Wipe > Advanced wipe
- Select first 4 options and wipe
- Go back to the main menu of TWRP and "install zip"
- Select the rom, and install.
After the rom is installed, the boot will take LONG to the point you will think the flashing has failed. Don't worry, it will boot, this is only the first time.
If it asks to update, don't it will fail.
OPTIONAL: After rom booted, put Google_installer.apk on your SD and run it from the file explorer, install ALL parts of the software to get play store working.
OPTIONAL: Install galleryGoogle.apk to get the standard android gallery, the one provided sucks imo.
The rom is only in chinese/enlish, but the standard software is so crappy and bloated, that this is a hell of a lot better.
After a bit of configuring I managed to get it all to proper English, and got play store working. The phone runs smoothly, and everything is working fine (even 4G).
ROM VERSION: 4.4.4 KUT84P
MIUI version 5.1.23 | Beta
I am not responsible for bricking your phone!
If anyone could provide me with a better rom I would be very happy, although this one is working fine for the moment.

Hi,
I searched a solution to run my phone correctly without ads, unwanted downloads and errors for days and your work seems to be awesome on that device. Unfortunately the link is dead now. Could you update it please ?

You may want to read through this thread, the ROM linked above is in post #25(message#25) in the thread linked below. There are also many different ROMs there that you might can use with a little bit of work to set it up.

Hello everyone! Read the news about the ported Google Camera, and it's just stated to work with Snapdragon 820 and up, but I just had to install it on my LineageOS Note 4 and HDR+ is actually working! In my opinion it lowers the digital noise a lot, and will be my daily camera app.
Camera2 API needs to be enabled for the app to work.

I don't know for sure if it will solve the problem, but have you tried enabling camera2 API? What happened when you tried the app?
Comparison with/without HDR+ enabled, both with tap to focus on the door:

Maybe you already have Google camera installed? You have to uninstall previous versions before installing this one.

Hi guys!
Well. as you know the available ROMs are GSI, so in a certain way, they are not official for our device, The main problems are that ROM turns laggy and when you try to access to your Google Account it is shown an advertisement saying that our "device is not certified by Google" then it shows some links to "solve" the issue but the explanation given is not working, then I'm going to explain how to fix that.
This explanation works for all the ROMs available for Moto E5 that I've shared and it's working!!
Well, you have recently installed the rom, then you need to skip the whole setup and not getting access to Wi-fi, because you won't be able to skip the setup.
Install this app
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgly6telvzts3ue/DeviceID.apk?dl=0
Open it, and select: Google Service Framework (GSF), then copy that code
Now go to this page: https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter
Paste the Hex Value and convert into decimal, then copy the Decimal Value
Go to this page: http://g.co/AndroidDeviceRegistration.
Login into your Google Account and paste your Decimal Value
Finally install this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/udfsp2su5c5m6h8/GSM.apk?dl=0
Reboot you device, and it's done
Maybe your will need to wait like 5-10 minutes until your device is registered and then you can access to all Google Services
*NOTE: Netflix is available from Play Store even having root with Magisk*
I hope you guys find this useful and working, sorry for missing screenshots but it's easy...
There's no GSF in the Device ID app

No, if the gapps are already installed don't do that, if you install over already installed gapps, the apps will start to crash

It used to be said that XDA was Cyanogen. I guess that still applies.
I downloaded and wanted to install it inn an attempt to get macro mode and focus tracking. However, on stock oneplus Android 10, install fails saying "app not installed"
Is there a way around this?

I tried yesterday and you can install the app if you use for example appcloner (search on google as its not available on the playstore anymore) , which lets you take the apk file and make a "new" app out of it. This makes the app recognized as a new app by the system instead of replacing the system app. However, the cloned app did not work for me and crashed everytime I tried to open it. so i dont think that version is compatible with with the official build of android 10. Maybe someone else have any other suggestions or you could try
This is BEYOND frustrating. Why one earth would they take this feature out. I mean, for crying out loud, the 7 pro is their flagship but a 100 dollar cheaper phone has more features?? Smh
if you rooted, that's easy. I also installed it myself because of that feature.

Macro mode uses hardware so it won't work on the 7 pro even if you get the software working.

Root guide on this forum. Very easy. Unlock bootloader first. Then fastboot TWRP to flash Magisk, for flash patched boot image.
For install this camera with root, you must copy & replace the apk in system/priv-app, then wipe dalvik-cache.
Or just use zoom feature on Photo. Photo it's resized to 1980x.. This it's a small picture 1,5cm x 1,5cm on a laptop.
Example :
I tried to install Android 12 and succeeded. In my opinion, it is still smooth to use, and there are only some bugs. The installation process is very simple. First, ensure that it has been unlocked and that the underlying layer is Android 11. Second, restart to bootloader (ADB reboot bootloader) and then to FastBoot (FastBoot reboot FastBoot). Third, find the image file of arm64 / AB and install it. Finally, turn off avb2.0 verification so that you can start the experience.

You're less likely to retain L1 after bootloader unlocked (a requirement to install custom ROM)
Hi bro, will everything work fine on android 12 gsi, how about wifi and bluetooth function , rotation sensor ?
Hi! I'm asking the same as luizkun. What are the bugs? Does the Active Pen work? What is the overall performance?
And which GSI Image did U used? Can you make a little bit more detailed tutorial please?
I hate the original rom. Laggy, contains many bloatware apps, etc.
Thanks in advance!

You can root your device and uninstall the bloatware.
About the GSI image, he already mentioned which one to install.
For a more detailled tutorial, there are plenty in various places like this forum. Use your favorite search engine to find them.
Also make sure to create a full backup with TWRP or get yourself knowledgeable about Qualcomm's QFIL.
This tablet uses Lenovo Precision Pen 2, not Active Pen. I don't know if it works vut after you testet it, feel free to share your experience!
And regarding the smoothness, the normal p11 version is a low end device (which is totally fine) therefore one shouldn't expect a stutterfree experience.
would you be able to make a more detailed tutorial? Does it work with the stylus and keyboard cover still?
