Im sure you all know that CM7 has a buggy camera, but i didnt think it would be this ridiculous 0.0. Every time i take a picture, i have to switch to video camera, then back to camera to take the next picture... If i download another camera app, i get a "Forced Close". CM7 is by far one of the best roms ive had so if it means no camera, so be it... But if there is a fix, id really like to be able to use it
Please let me know
Thanks!
I read your post opened up the camera, took three consecutive pictures, switched to gallery and viewed them.
So it works for me. Have you tried reflash or have you installed the latest update?
CM7
yeah, just flashed the update for today and everything seems fine :S. Im not sure why that happened though, happy its fixed
Purchased a new P9 Plus the other day and installed both Snapchat and Instagram. Went to take a video in Snapchat and as soon as I started recording the recorded frame-rate dropped to ~10fps making for a nice slideshow.
Also noticed this occurred in Instagram so it is not isolated to just the one app. I must also point out as soon as the recording started it seemed to zoom in slightly, unsure whether this has to do with the lens crop-factor or what.
Original camera app works just fine without any choppiness in recording.
This leads me to believe that it's something wrong with the firmware and makes me curious as to whether there is a solution out there (as I use Snapchat on a daily basis and this purchase was meant to be an upgrade, not a downgrade.)
Current version: VIE-L09C706B102
EMUI: 4.1
So using even more third party apps I am relatively confident it is instead just a Snapchat and Instagram related issue as other camera apps on the store don't seem to exhibit the same symptoms.
Submitted a bug report to Snapchat in an attempt to get it fixed. However I'm still convinced with a tweak somewhere in the Kernel and a rebuild I could flash a version that solves the issue. Anyone have ideas about where to look?

FWIW, I recorded a Snapchat video and it come out perfect. No choppiness at all.

I also have a highspeed Class 10 microsd card that I use as the default storage. Not sure if that would make a difference.

Ah right yea see you're on a much newer firmware version than I am (FYI I don't have a microsd in my device atm). I'm stuck with B102 here in NZ which is what I think the issue is. You wouldn't happen to know an easy method of debranding my device and potentially swapping to the international/EU version would you?

I just got my phone a few days ago so I haven't done much in the way of researching how to root, but I know you can root it.

U should post this on P9 Plus forum, this is for P9.
Had the same problem, updated FW to EVA-L09C432B166, has up to Android Snapchat standards ever since (still kinda slow, but you know, some devs just don't like Android).
Do you guys have the same where it zooms in upon recording as well? I'm guessing this is because of some resolution change, but it's way too zoomed for my taste.
Hello,
because i bought a new phone i gave my "old" Nexus 6 to my wife. Since a updated to Marshmallow i had problems with the camera. It stuttered while making a video. But i dont often used the camera, so i ignored it. My wife is Snapchat addicted and she can't make good videos with the front camera of the N6....it's like a slide show....the record is not smooth. I searched at the internet and a lot of people have the same problem since Adnroid Marchmallow ....
I flashed her CM 14, because i thought it might be a problem with the stock rom , but the problem remained. So my question is. Because i know i had not the problem at Android Lollipop. Is there anybody who had the same problem and solved it with flashing another rom? Or is it worth to try another kernel? I looked at the "rom forum" and found the "sky dragon 5.0 with a "new" kernel and probably i will try this. So my question is....is it a problem with the rom? is it a problem with the kernel? is it a problem with the hardware? What you expert think its the best way to fix the problem (i tried tips in the internet like diasble geodata at the photos or disable the battery safer for the camera app).
I hope you are able to understand my english. Otherwise i will explain it in other words.
Thank you very much!
Flash a factory image (will wipe the phone 100% but take it back to bone stock). If the camera issue is present on stock rom, stock kernel, with no modifications, then it's a hardware issue.
i have had problems with stuttering camera app before but it was fixed by resetting the phone. not really sure why after installing a new ROM you still facing this issue.
have you tried other camera apps? download a free one from the store and see its the same deal.
My first Nexus 6 had no issues whatsoever. When I had to RMA that one for the massive battery bulge issue, my second Nexus 6 had the camera stuttering issue. It would happen whether I was taking still shots or video. Obviously it was more noticeable on video, but it still made taking stills difficult. I took a video at the time to post on here to see if other people where having the same problem, but actually never got around to posting it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k23njriKiDk
Anyway, I RMAed that phone for the camera issue but then the third N6 had the same issue. I decided to live with it though since (a) Motorola has a really frustrating return policy/procedure, and (b) since two different devices had it I didn't think there was any guarantee that an RMA would fix the problem.
Fortunately, I've noticed that lately (running Nougat now), the stutter has mostly gone away. I'd say that for still pictures it has gone away entirely. For videos, I think it is gone as long as you use the stock camera app. I've noticed that if you use other apps, like Instagram for example, my video still has issues. In that case though, it's more of a constant refocusing issue than a stutter issue.
So moral of the story is... for me at least, it seems to be ok on Nougat as long as you stick to the stock camera app.
Hello
This is the problem:
I had install CM14.1 on my MI5 . The camcorder only works in the first video recorded after reboot the device, the second video only shows the first frame still and the audio is playing normally. All the camera apps that I tried have the same problem.
I already installed the 12/17 zip of the official CM14.1 and the problem continues.
How can I fix this? Thanks for your help!!

At the moment you can't fix it. Many people have reported same issue and I have it also. It just doesn't work yet. The recorded files are useless.
Also i have some "dark stripes" running on the screen, while recording video. That should also be common problem for now.
But as far as i understand, rom developers are known with the issue and working on it. Maybe it works in the next update?
It seems that cm14.1 build 20/12 has fixed the issue. According to my experience, you need to flash the latest version cm first. And then clear data of the "media storage". My camcorder works in this way.
In newest build 161222 video recording seems to work better. I can watch videos that I've recorded.
But the problem with "dark stripes" or "dark waves" exist. Anyone else having this problem? When using stock camera and recording video, dark waves start running on the screen. Footej camera works better.
Alright guys, I spent a whole night researching and reading all the comments and discussions in a lot of threads related to Lenovo K3 Note and I just registered myself. Now, I want to install a custom rom and I found that the roms build by daniel_hk are the most reliable. But the thing is I'm not sure which one to install. LineageOS or SlimRoms or CarbonROM?
Please let me know which one is the best regarding Battery Back up, Ram and least lag ?
Also please post some significant Screen Shots of each roms Home, Menu, Settings, Notification Bar, etc.
So that I can see which one looks better for my taste.
And lastly please post all the fixes available and the best karnel.
I'm sure everyone in the K3 Note community will be helped through this thread.
Also I'm a total noob in this department so please ignore any of my idiocy as I don't know everything.
Thank you very much.
As far as I'm concerned, there are no stable Android 7.1 ROMs for this device yet. They all suffer from a serious flaw in one way or another - either video recording not working properly, video playback not working properly, poor battery life, misconfigured buttons or just random glitches and bugs that shouldn't happen, even after flashing fixes. I tried both Carbon ROM and LineageOS but I had to return to stock. Then again, the Stock ROM has poor memory management so it lags a lot. It's a shame, I've probably tried around 15 ROMs and the only one that was moderately stable was AOSP Vibe 6.0 which was a remixed china dev ROM but that has problems with internal storage glitches which causes all the userdata to be moved to another folder randomly (don't ask me why this happens, I really don't know but it is frustrating and happened twice, had to move all my files over again).
If you know of a fully stable AOSP ROM, even if it is 6.0, I'd be very keen to try it.

Thanks for the helpful information, but I know k3 note is yet to receive a fully stable custom rom. Knowing that I still want to install a custom rom by daniel_hk cause firstly the stock rom is very laggy and I cannot work with it and to my knowledge those three roms has received almost all the necessary and essential fixes already. for example the YouTube zoom thingy and the snapchat thingy got fixed I heard and many others. I think I can live with minor bugs like gps navigation not being able to be correct and **** like that. That's why I'm asking which one should I go with between these three.
Fair enough, but the ROMs from daniel_hk, whilst good, are definitely still in beta. YouTube zoom isn't fully fixed even if you flash the patch. If you go from 1080p to 720p, or 720p to 480p, you will get a zoom bug. 1080p videos recorded on the device do not play back in the gallery app or MX player, and the flashlight turns off by itself if you turn the screen off. Otherwise performance is good.
Edit: Carbon ROM is the only one with the latest fixes so I'd go for that.

So does Carbon Rom gives the best battery back up and uses the least Ram ?

Probably not, but it's still pretty good
use latest AOSP STABLE2 AKA MADos........ this is by far the most stable NG rom

In the previous build of lineage, the hotspot issue still has not fixed. I've to configure hotspot fresh everytime if I want to connect it to my PC or other device otherwise it just shows connecting and never connects. Is there any specific fix for that?

Not at the moment. And there are still issues with video playback, flashlight and camera video focus.
Lineage OS 14.1 is the one I've been happiest with. There are niggles and glitches, with battery being the biggest. On the whole I accept it's still work in progress. Stick to stock if you need stability.

It depends on what you want, no custom nougat ROM has it all....
Having tested it all, I use Resurrection Remix 5.8.2 with March 5 security update.
Battery life is about 30 - 45 minutes less than Daniel's Rom but the smoothes of the performance is better.
#1 It has super fast charging (2180Mah)
#2 GPS locks in few seconds.
#3 Hotspot works once you on it off it and on it again.
#4 YouTube works perfectly
#5 Video recording does not crash at all, with or without flashlight. Footej camera works perfectly which is a plus for me, whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, periscope works well with the camera.
#6 it works perfectly with three different custom kernels I've tried on it. (I currently use the latest Daniel_hk kernel with voltage tuning & OC)
It serves me well and since I have 2 spare batteries I don't bother however, tweaking the kernel to powersave gives me more juice.
So, it depends on what is a deal breaker for you.
I've used 2 AOSP Nougat that are very good but since all AOSP Nougat Audio recording level is low, which is a deal breaker for me, I switched to LineageOS before hitting RR Nougat.
FYI Footej Camera only works because it records in 720p by default. 1080p recording is the problem.
By the way - I got fed up with bugs so I created my own debloated VibeUI ROW ROM with a nexus feel - so far it seems to work well and no signs of lag so far. I think the lag isn't caused by the core ROM, but the add-ons that Lenovo insist on adding. If there are no major issues I'll upload it by the end of the week

So if you needed to compare between LineageOS and RR Nougat, which one would be better in terms of smooth user experience and which one do you think has the lowest issues?
Also I do really need the most battery backup I can get.

Both are the same core but RR has a little more customization and faster charging.
LineageOS by Daniel has the best battery backup time in CM based Roms. I've achieved 5hrs SOT with one AOSP nougat. It has low audio recording that's why I didn't continue.
You can achieve faster charging on Daniel's Rom with ultimate or Vince kernel. But it comes with dt2w and takes extra juice from the battery.
You should try flashing different Rom and check it out for yourself

Did you face hotspot bug in RR 5.8.2?? Mugiks ?? Can you confirm? :/
