I am using stock OS version and from past few days there is no front camera option in camera app, I tried many camera apps from play store, none of the app shows that option. Is there any fix for this please?

I have downloaded several different apps to allow me to take pictures remotely via wi-fi. The shots are fine but every app tried gives pictures that are focussed on infinity. I have tried around 8 different apps, and tried every focus option available on the camera. Even apps that offer autofocus as an option that can be ticked, the shots are stuck focussed on the background. Feedback from app developers tells me that their apps all work with every Android camera they have tested except the Xperia. Is there a workaround?
Model: LT30P
Version: 4.1.2
I noticed a dramatic difference between the Google Camera and the 3rd party Camera Zoom FX application. The Google Camera brings in a good amount of light into the lens even in marginal situations. Camera Zoom FX is pulls in so much less light. There's no setting I can figure out. Could Lollypop restrict camera access in some funky way that is preventing the 3rd party app from taking full advantage of the lens?
i have noticed this in pretty much all 3rd party camera apps. people have reported that video conferencing in hangouts is also very dark
i have spent all day looking at different camera apps. i cant get "a better camera" to auto focus (but it has better in app lighting), camera zoom fx is much darker than "a better camera" but has good focus. the google camera app from banks gapps seems really gimped (no panorama, no 360, no hdr) and wont let me install the play store google camera (i got 504 errors with banks installed, and 505 when i moved thew camera2 folder from system/apps).
i am now looking into flashing a moto camera app, or trying to flash a closer to stock google camera app (preferably one that doesnt share signitures)

Check out Camera FV-5. They have a paid version and a lite (free). I spent the $3.99 and it works really well. It also has a lot of controls.
Google Play Store - Camera FV-5

you can get good photos if you remove from recents, but the viewfinder is always dark. see attached. pure shamu b3.1/senseiR20.5, rooted.
i can almost get the moto camera app to work... it takes 1080p soundless video consistently, but photos crash the app, and hdr doesnt work

Alright, so I tried to take some pictures in a room with no lights on and only some natural light coming through the blinds. They look dark like your sample photos. Opened the slimGAPPS camera and everything works, including HDR, correct brightness, etc. I haven't tried recording video. As soon as I turn a light on, it seems to work normally.
In the camera fv5 app, I went and adjusted some of the exposure settings and shutter, the photo brightened right up.
Not sure what is going on. I will try a few more things and report back.

It's funny, it doesn't look like the photos themselves are too bad, just the display on the preview on the screen (i.e., the screen viewfinder). I am wondering if there is some Lollypop function that is not being taken advantage of fully by the 3rd party apps.
Picked up a Moto X Play for family in Canada.
The Camera interface isn't the most intuitive, was hoping to use Google Camera but every app I seem to use seems to crash when switching from camera to camcorder mode, currently on the March security update for Marshmallow.
Does anyone else have this issue or can recommend a decent camera app as an alternative?
Try Open Camera or Manual Camera.
Yeah open camera is a nice one.The stock camera app is working normal on mine.Try to clean cache of the stock camera app.
Opencamera crashes.
Google Camera 2.7 is actually working, so the problem is with version 3.1 and later... Guess that's why they pulled it from the Play Store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-7-008-release/
When switching from camera to video camcorder mode, it says 'Can't connect to camera' and crashes the app
Running version 5.1 and its working.Stock mm 6..0.1.

Sorry i was mistaken with motorola stock camera app. Maybe google camera is crashing because it cant find a gyroscope sensor which is needed for the 360 pictures.
Looking for a camera app as well; stock Motorola camera is too slow on launch in taking pictures or I itializing video. I've tried clearing data and cache. Google Camera works besides camcorder mode.
I used Open Camera. After installation, the first time I have it hung. Resetting and poked in the settings. In the "interface settings" disabled "show slope" and "show the direction of the compass." As long as such no longer hangs.
my problem is that i cant open the camera app after i disabled it and reenabled it because portrait mode and slow motion disappeared so i installed gcam it works but it crashes a lot but my main problem is i cant use the second lens so my camera app kinda died btw my camera app is 2.0 i really want to use the second lens in low light can you guys help me?
im on android pie december update.
i have root access with magisk.
I'm testing alternatives for the MIUI 13 Gallery app, and I have found a few candidates.
BUT even if I set the new gallery app as default in the MIUI 13 settings, when I press the image of a recent shot inside the MIUI Camera app I'm still getting the miui gallery .
How can I change that?
If the gallery is hard-linked with the Camera, it is useless to have another Gallery app because then you will have to deal with both.
P. S. If had root access a might have tried to uninstall the default Gallery app, and hope for the camera app to ask me for another Gallery, but without root I cannot install it or I can freeze it.

Yea you cant really change that as far as i know (even with root). You could however use gcam as your default camera and select the thirdparty gallery app as default to open via gcam. But I know thats not much of a solution.
