camera not going back to apps that called it forth?

I seem to have this problem with most apps that prompt the camera to be used. For example, the program "A World of Photo" (you send a random photo from your location to someone else in the world, and they send one to someone, etc) will automatically prompt my camera to come up so I can take the said picture, but after the pic is taken, it just goes back ready to take another pic as if I had opened the camera app. It doesn't go back to A World of Photo as I am assuming it should.
I am on CM 5.0.5.3 (wasn't feeling 5.6) and using the desire camera. Is the desire camera the problem, and how might I fix?
thx

Try reverting to stock camera and see if the problem persists.

Is that as easy as pushing the stock htccamera apk back in the system app folder or do i need to do something with the existing desire app? Sorry, still getting used to android.
edit: and why do I keep getting read-only filesystem errors when trying to do so?
edit2: ok just needed a remount - got it copied over. Now I have two camera apps lol.
edit3: yup it was the desire camera apps fault... well I have dual option now I guess so it does "work" with the stock camera app. Work in progress!
thx

Gallery issue

Hey Guys,
I got a problem with the stock gallery application since I went to FRF50 (now FRF72).
It takes a lot of time (sometimes 20 seconds and longer) until I see the thumbnails of my recently shoot Photos.
This even appears if there is only one picture in my folder(!). Disabling the picasa sync brings no improvement.
Switching directly from the cam application into the gallery takes ages, too. No matter if the images are local on SD or Picasa.
I already tried to delete the cache, disabled picasa sync, erased the thumbnail file - no change.
The filesize for one Photo is about 800kb, so I don't think it depends on the size. My SD-Card is class 6 and my Nexus is totaly stock.
Anyone who can help me?

When you say you deleted the cache, do you mean you deleted the entire "Android" folder on your SD?

I just deleted the stuff from the .thumbnails folder in DCIM. Thought this would help but it did not.
Thanks for your reply

If you delete the thumbnails, it will take longer because it has to rescan your pictures and CREATE thumbnails!

LOL... your n1 is not totally stock! (but I know what you are tryin to say)...

Same thing...slow as heck.

Right, I thought the re-creating process could solve the problem
on WIFI or 3G the gallery is a little bit faster, but with gprs or when I have no network coverage the process is slow as hell.
I really don't know why the local stored images are involved in this process

[Q] Camera app

So after having gone through 5 different camera apps that won't use the front facing camera and also switch to video mode, it's getting frustrating install and uninstalling.
The stock camera works but is sloooooow.
What camera apps have y'all installled from the market that you like and works well with the FFC and switching to video mode?

Flash this (my custom one thx to |ErosizeD| ) let me know is this work for you. it work on my thrill pretty fast.
Flashable Zip through CWM
shouldnt have any issues.. but plz backup

What does this mod do?
Sent from my LG Thrill 3D using XDA Premium

it will make the camera resolution clear and fast

Thanks! Just flashed it.
So much better. Takes about a second and a half to 2 seconds from first tapping the icon for it to be ready to take pics. Then somewhere between a second and two seconds to take the pic.
That's a huge improvement and takes away my need for another camera app.
Thanks given!

I tried it out, went from a 5 second launch to a 3 second launch. So any improvement is welcome.
"Ask not what your Thrill can do for you, but what awesome things can you do with your Thrill!"

Everything on this I thought was great until I went to look at my gallery. The resolution is way whacked out on viewing photos/icons/etc in my gallery.
How do I undo the mod? Do I just delete the apk?
The more I think about this, the more it irks me. Do they not have a QA person that checks things? I mean, c'mon, 5+ more seconds to start up and then the terrible delay on snapping pics. Well, unless your idea of a good camera is it takes long enough so you can make a pot of coffee and drink a couple cups.

I don't have problem but you can always undo it
copy zip file file to your SDcard unzip it using root explorer copy mediaprofile.xml and TicameraCameraProperties.xml
to your etc folder using root explorer and restart the phone
that will undo it

I can confirm that this mod doesn't work on gingerbread

wait is the resolution problem recurring? Or was it just for that guy.

Photos not showing up after taking pictures

ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8

No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks

Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818

you all have always helped me with any issues ive had.. thanks for all that. and thanks for your help with this.

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps

im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

Question Issue saving any picture after miui update 13

Hi
i am unable to save any picture on my phone.
- download from fb not working.
- camera not working.
- printscreen not working.
all the problems started after updating my phone to latest MIUI update 13.0.3 global
any idea what's wrong here ??

Any error displayed?

sorry, wrong account again.
and no, just a toast saying couldn't save image , when i take a screenshot.
for facebook app, no error, but no photo is saved, the camera app just crashes without saving.
it has been 2 weeks now, the support suggested a factory reset, and i wont do it its too much backup and work, i believe there might be an easy way.

Seems like permissions to save to to sd card somehow got revoked. From the sounds of it since multiple apps are involved, factory reset might be better. You can use an app like Swiftbackup(cannot save data if not rooted unless you use shizuku) which will save lot of time and effort.

you sure ? because even for local storage, still same problem.

No idea what changed, facebook can save images now ! but only facebook, apps like 9gag can't, comics and manga can since ever.

Any updates ?

I found the solution, posted on reddit, precisely :

Ok. The solution is to turn off dual app support, reboot, and then turn dual apps back on again and reenable the ones you want back.
Annoying, but it works.
Screenshots work again also.
Hope this works for you, like it did for me.
