I recently decided to install a custom ROM in my Poco X3 Pro. I was on the latest MIUI version and I installed Pixel Experience Plu. The problem I am facing is that when I am using the front camera it flickers sometimes with some strange black lines exactly like in this other post
https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/pc4ov5
I've tried to install GCAM and the behavior was still there. I've tried installing ArrowOs 11 and in the GCAM that comes installed it does not happen, but it still occurs in other applications that use the camera, for instance WhatsApp videocalls, or Instagram...
In some Reddit post someone mentioned that if you turned off NFC it disappears, and I can confirm it works, but I don't want to be turning NFC off everytime I want to use the camera.
Does anyone know if there is any solution or is my only permanent fix going back to MIUI? I would not like this as I really like AOSP roms but it's a big inconvenience for me.

So I just decided to unblock bootloader, recovery and all that stuff to get on the custom rom.
Have been tried 2 rom: Evolution X and Pixel Exp
The rom seems to be working perfectly fine and the camera app as well but when I switch to the front camera, it just crashes all the time for any camera applications, I can use the camera and toggle the front camera then slide the phone down a bit and actually seeing the camera works through the small light gap appear on the screen but as soon as the slider full slides down, the app just stops right away without any warning.
How do I troubleshoot this ? Does anyone here encounter the same thing ?
I facetime my mother a lot so this really sucks for these recent couple of days already. Should I switch back to og software ?
If your on EvoX and use this camera: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog590/
When you slide down your front camera should work immediately.

Just swap back the rom and tried the app. Well it still doesn't work. Its go black screen for a sec and close the application.
None of the application with front camera works as well.
Is this a common thing ?
No, it seems like you are the only one with this problem. If it above does not solve it, I don't know.
This is a known issue. Start the camera, switch to portrait mode, then switch to FFC. It works fine with the latest Google camera port than with the Xiaomi camera. Once the app has crashed, to recover it, dismiss the app from Recents.
I had it too i switched back to stock then i formated from twrp then if you don't know what to do when you dont have an os don't freak out just connect it to the pc and drag and drop the files/rom into the phone install and you should be good to go
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.
I have flashed multiple roms, everything is fine like it should be but one problem. All the roms that I flash, the main camera app gets distorted. colorless, half green, half black and white pictures. what is the solution ? Yes, the xiaomi.eu miui 12 rom has no camera issues but the pixel roms or aosp roms are giving me trouble. please help. yes, open camera and some other third party cameras have no issues. strange.
You have to disable the option "improve quality in low luminosity" or somethink like this.
Hello,
Sorry if my post is in the wrong forum... I've just get a OnePlus 7 Pro and managed to install LineageOs 17.1. And now, considering that the default camera app cannot deal with the 3 lenses, I've tries several versions of GCam, which is supposed to be a good app. Unfortunately, none of them are working. (I've tries other app as well, but it's just a black screen). With all the GCam apps, I can see the app screen less than a second, hear the lense "click", and then the app crash. Back to the home screen.
Any idea? So far, after so many tried, I really don' t see what I could do more. Even if I was enjoying using LineageOs, the only card left on the table is to flash the stock rom...
Thanks for your help!
Works fine with latest 17.1 here
Greeting everyone,
It has been almost a months with my Poco x3 pro.
I am currently on MIUI.eu 12.5.4.0 ROM.
Though when I was on official MIUI 12.0.* I did not notice the issue, Then I got the update version of MIUI 12.5.3.
I was happy to install it. And then I noticed my proximity sensor was not working while on call,
And then I noticed even my light sensor for auto brightness was also now working.
Even magnetic sensor stopped working.
I did a quick google and found that multiple users are facing similar issue.
Then I thought it was a ****ty MIUI, so i decided to boot unlock my device.
I waited 7 days and then rooted my phone and quickly made a backup of my efs and persist.img file. Glad I did Cuz i am already into flashing ROM stuff.
I thought that issue was from buggy ROM(MIUI).
and also restarting the phone would fix the issue for certain interval and from nowhere the same issue arise.
Then i flashed TWRP and install the PixelPlus UI 3.8 and found that the issue remains the game.
And from nowhere i started to get ghost touch only during call. I made a quick setting changes to show touch on screen and made a test.
i found that the ghost touch happen on bottom left of the screen and screen doesn't go off cuz proximity doesn't work.
and i thought the ROM was meshed up so i reflashed the Stock fastboot ROM 12.5.3.0 and boom there was no ghost touch on MIUI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Main issue even after clean flash the issue remains the same.
I even tried to install the eu rom but still remains the sam.
So i thought it was the time to restore the persist.img
and I did it today.
I am still waiting for the result after flasing the stock persist.img.
------------------Question--------------------
Is there any way to fix this issue?
I have found that not all users face same issue.
Xiaomi just noticed this issue and is planning to push the update for Poco X3 not POCO x3 pro.
really need help.

Hi, do you have a tempered glas with a dark frame installed? If you have it installed take it off, it blocks all this sensors.
