The fix below has been merged into the nightlies!! expect to see it on the 23rd.
If you're impatient, you can install a compiled version of the apk from recovery...
---------------
The camera issue is for ALL of cyanogenmod, not just us dinc users.
I've grabbed some of the patches that are being worked on and put some of my own work into it.
Please let me know what you find.
For me, it crashes almost every single time if I use continuous focus, but it's fine with infinity.
Screen off and on works without FC, but the camera is hard coded to not allow recording with screen off.
1. Backup
2. Flash aosp-camera-fix-v1.0.zip
3. reboot..
flashed
Just flashed, off to a meeting but will report back shortly. I would love to be able to shoot video in 720.
in to see the responses
no issues
No FC in continuous or infinity mode. Shot about 10 minutes of video in both. Screen off then on kills recording. Still no 720p recording mode though (not that this was supposed to fix that, I was just hoping).
Recap: No camera/video FC in either mode (continuous or infinity)
Thanks for this
...
To get 720 p.. Make sure quality is set to custom and file type is mpeg4, then it should show up in the settings.
Someone alert camalus!
I will be flashing this after work today! Thank you!!!

hi seanzer. on cm nightly build #161 - issue: when on videocam, and i turn off the screen (recording or not), when you unlock, the videocam becomes almost half the size of the screen (with the preview screen almost a quarter the size, and is now on the lower left), and it's unresponsive.

Same thing happened on my friends moto Droid 1.. i think the latest commit to the camera broke it. Try a nightly before the 24th... which only contains my camera fix. I haven't had time to test the latest nightly yet, but I will have to investigate more what happened..

on a different note: how come the vanilla cam doesn't support 8mp wide like the htc sense cam?

anyone know? is this the same with all aosp roms?.. the camera just isn't as good as the htc cam.
Fixed my Nexus One
Installed on CM 6.1 on a Nexus One, fixed the camera for photos, haven't tested the videos.
Symptoms: Camera keeps crashing after a few shots. Force Close the application and if I tried to run it I only got a blackscreen until the Force Close window appeared.
It also rebooted my phone one 2 occasions.
Installed using Rom Manager:
Install from SD
Selected .zip
Backup Rom (Yes)
Wipe (NO!!!)
Everything went smooth.
Now I'm taking pictures, modifying settings, Touch Focus, everything seems to work.
Took 20 pictures in a row and fast.
Thanks for the fix
I had high expectations on this one, I tried it but I still get FC on the camera.
I have a Magic and I am running the CM 6.1 Rom

If you look at the resolution of the 8mp wide setting on the stock sense camera, it's not actually 8mp. It's really the same as 6mp wide on the CM camera.

Hi!
Camera in my Xperia V does not work properly. It can take pictures only in sunny day, in the dark does not turn on. I tested all the official systems (including 4.0.4 4.1.2 4.3) and CM11, everywhere the same bug. In the pictures , where a very strong light, purple stripes are visible (see the Attached Thumbnails). I thought it was hardware damaged, so I bought the camera, but unfortunately nothing changed
So anybody has idea what is wrong?

Unfortunately no.
Interesting is the fact, torch turns on using flashlight applications from google play, but each of them get freezy and FC after 1-2 min. When I turn on the default application for torch in custom ROM (like Carbon, Lovins) everything is ok.

Try flashing stock 4.1.2 firmware using flashtool and do a complete wipe during the install (tick all three boxes on the right side: data, cache and something which I don't remember the name of). You might've messed something up when flashing custom roms and flashing back the stock one should fix it. Also check if your camera lens is scratched/cracked. If none of that helps. I'm afraid it's a hardware fault then. :/
Btw: I remember people talking about the camera bug which you have in 1st picture in some 4.3 rom (not the latest one). But it's the first time I've seen a bug like you have in 2nd picture.
Camera lens look perfect on both camera modules. I am surprised that after the exchange of the camera is the same problem.
I'll try flash tomorrow or later (you know, New Year) and and I'll answer.
Thanks for your support and Happy New Year :highfive:

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped
Flashing to stock 4.1.2 via flashtool nothing has changed. In a small service near me, they said that the fault of the driver on the motherboard, and there's nothing they will do.
I'm sad, because photos in the sun and underwater is doing great.
@finac94 Thanks for trying me solve this problem

PLease someone mod the lollipop camera to work as kitkat camera and make it also 5MP please request :crying:
I'd like to correct you here. Any camera app, as far as I know can't change your camera to 5MP unless that's what the hardware is inside the phone. The best any app can do is just help you adjust finer details and get nicer effects. That's it.
Lollipop is just a software update not hardware !! The camera is just as good as seen on kitkat. If you are facing any problem try to reflash the ROM or try any third party camera app as there are many available.

One thread per issue only, and please be specific about your phone, version, etc...

Remember to activate camera2 API before trying the app.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?act=search&source=pst&noform=1&username=B-S-G
It appears bsg have release an ARM32 apk of an older version of Google Camera HDR. Should work on the G5Plus. Can't access the link to download though.
anyone able to help?
Focus doesn't seem to work
HDR+ port by defcomk
Here is something that works for me:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4UT4dU4LpjJZFZnbGJ1TXVJN2c/view?usp=sharing
Make sure CAM2 API is enabled.
If you are on stock ROM it can be done by adding this line to build.prop:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
If on a custom nougat ROM use this module: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4UT4dU4LpjJRWY1dzBBUTdHbm8
If on Oreo custom ROM, cam2 is enabled by default.
To use the camera it follow these steps:
1) Open the app, change video resolution of back camera to 4K (VERY IMPORTANT, else there will be FC)
2) On the camera menu you'll notice it's not focusing, so switch to video mode by swiping left on the screen.
3) In video mode tap on the subject you are shooting to focus on it. ( May need to be tapped more than once, Zooming in with two swipe finger gesture helps to get perfect focus)
4) After you are happy with the focus switch to photo mode by swiping right, this will maintain the focus that was set in video mode, if not repeat step 3.
5) Do NOT press shutter yet. Lock AE/AF before taking shot by long pressing on the finger to form a circle on the screen. (VERY IMPORTANT, else there will be FC)
6) After you have long pressed, take the photo. A circle will be shown which takes 30 shots in one second.
7) Shutter will be grayed out until the photo is processed which happens in the background, you can check progress by taping the thumbnail.
8) You can take as many shots you like with the present focus lock, also repeat the from step 3 for changing focus.
That's it

You need a 4pda account to download from their forums, the 404 error only happens when you are not logged in.

I created a 4dpa account by using this guide to solve the captcha and I managed to install the apk. I found out it wasn't working as well as defcomk's port cause it couldn't auto-focus lock the image. The only new thing I saw was it supported raw image capture

WOW!! I thought the Google camera HDR+ was all hype. I had HDR+ on my Nexus 5 but apparently that was the old version not using the new API. I thought that took pretty good pictures but this new one on this phone is incredible. Every single thing I tried, every camera mod I could find, on any ROM other than stock, every picture looked over softened and blurry, or super grainy and still kind of blurry. Now it looks better than stock, impressively so. The color balance, focus, and sharpness is top notch. Amazing what a change in software can do to a piece of hardware.
A quick tip for people, the camera opens up with the focus set at infinite so if you take a picture of something 5ft+ away, there's no need to swipe to the video to focus. Just open the camera, long press to hold focus, and snap the picture. The camera also works in 16:9 if that's your thing.
Edit: open camera is finicky for videos, giving me reboots. Use Footej camera for quick non HD photos and videos.
Edit2: After messing around with it a bit more, it's not the just HDR+ that makes the pictures so much better, it's the new camera API. Install and use it with any camera app supporting camera2 API and the photos are much better all around.
Thanks a ton for posting this, both you, and OP.

Hey,
feeling pretty dumb right now but how the hell am I supposed to switch between the two cameras on the back?
I can switch between front and back camera but how do I switch between wide-angle and normal angle?
?
When you open the camera app, you should see a little "1,0x". Press ist and the camera will change.
Nope, I tried by blocking one camera with a paper and if I press the button it still displays. It seems that will just software zoom.
I managed to find out that only Bokeh mode uses the lower camera.
Tried it in "normal mode" in the nokia camera app. The tele camera is active when zoom 2x is choosen. Blocked top and lower tele camera to confirm. Do you use an alternative camera software?

The app info is not very informative. I guess it is HMD camera app.

Yes this looks like the preinstalled camera app.
In normal "PHOTO" mode, the lower tele camera works here as intended. Guess some weird SW bug/setting is causing you trouble.
Below is the interface screenshot, because the Appstore picture looks slightly different.
What is you phone version?
I'm using the German/European version, model TA-1046 with Android 8.1.0
Camera firmware is V100.0077.02 - V010.0017.01
Build is 00WW_2_13B

Exactly the same, also bought in Germany.
Maybe another picture related app on your phone, blocks the tele camera in normal foto mode.
As far as camera apps goes, I'm running the Pixel3Mod wo interference (this Gcam mod can obviously not use the tele camera at all), everything else is more or less stock.
I really wonder what is blocking, if that's the case.
I already restarted several times and opened the app right after it.
Doesn't work. Hrm...
Guess I'll see what HMD has to say.

Weird indeed.
As a last straw, did you try to reset the camera app settings and reopen the app afterwards?
Yep tried that too. Also tried to force stop all app that might use the camera.
Maybe it is just broken and there is a fallback to the working camera?
Edit: ah no wait it is working in bokeh mode so I guess the camera works ?
a bit worrying
That's normal
The telephoto lens only work if there is a good lighting condition, if it is a little dark environment then the normal lens only work with digital zoom because it has bigger sensor size so it give better photo
I got a message from Nokia stating that the change between the two cameras is done automatically.
I can confirm this, as suddenly it worked today in ONE instance.
Since then I couldn't confirm it again.
This automatism seems to work in like 5% of all times.
At least for me it is totally unclear when to expect the second camera to work.
Also how can I tell the second camera was used? So far pictures seem exactly the same.
Also on the display I couldn't see any difference when the second camera was actually working to the main camera using digital zoom.
It feels like I paid a lot more money for a useless gimmick for now.
If so, that's disappointing.
This is how all phones with dual camera work, if light is not enough then the phone automatically switch to the main camera.
Look at the different between the details of these photos
is there a way to have a bigger wide-angle? I am a bit disappointed because i thought with the second camera there would be some kind of a wide-angle option like action cameras have.
So there is really no way to switch manually?
Is there another camera app/mod which can give this functionality?
Use Live Bokeh mode, that's only way i got now...
I got another message from Nokia to reset the app and try again. Seems that might have resolved the issue partially as it seems to use the second camera more often. But I find it rather random still. I tested it on vacation for 3 weeks.
Often I can see a sudden switch of the camera even though the lightning situation is the same.
There is no wide-angle camera in Nokia 7 Plus mate
