Hey Guys,
i am wondering.
When i got my MI5 i first unlocked and flashed it with the RR Mod.
The pictures my camera made where quite fine.
Today i installed the CM13 and the camera apk seems the same but i think the pictures are foggy and not as clear as the pictures i made with the RR Mod.
Is this possible? I did not changed the settings at all in both methods.
Any suggestions or experiences would be awesome.
Thanks a lot and greetz.

This might be an outrageous answer, but have you tried cleaning the lens with a wet cloth? sometimes light residue can sill remain on the lens after you clean it with a dry one

Soo I have had my Xperia Z3 Compact for 2 years now and yeah the camera wasn't the best but it just started to degrade and now it looks like sh*t literally,I have Carbon ROM 5.1 running which is Nougat and I thought if I flashed the Sony Camera Mod and Cyberian with it it would be better,and yes it did get better but I still cannot get good shots in moderately lit situations,only I can get a good shot is on a very sunny day,and the front camera isn't very good either,looks pixelated. And no,no dust entered the camera since the phone was dissasembled recently and cleaned from everything.
So my question is how can I make the camera usable since I am a camera heavy user since I use Snapchat almost all the time and I cannot live without the camera.
And as for the speaker it just seems to be quiet,I always take my bluetooth speaker since the speakers on the phone are very quiet and yes I removed that waterproofing thing from them and the speakers are new since I got the whole front panel changed.
Any suggestions will be taken for granted.
Clean the camera protective cover with toothpaste until you remove the blue anti reflective coating.
Small scratches on the coating will ruin the picture.

Front camera is quite bad, can't help your there.
In my experience the glue strip which holds the screen and back to the frame slowly lets go, so dust settles in.
If yours is clean, good, but not for long.
Replacement double sided tape is worse quality than the factory tape was.
Some repair services use two double sided tapes to compensate the flex and keep the screen in place.
Snapchat doesn't work well with sony.
I have used z1c, z3c and xc ... with all of them snapchat somehow ruins the picture / video quality.
Because it has to downsize 23 mpix sensor data and doesn't have time or processing power to do it correctly, so it uses previews :

Make picture with the phone camera app and then use that in snapchat.

Found some more about snapchat
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/64xqv0/snapchat_recording_quality/
Snapchat is purposely bad on Android. When you open Snapchat:
both of your phones cameras turn on, the front and back.
both cameras STAY on, even if you are not using them. Even if you are just chatting, watching stories, etc. Ever notice how hot your phone gets and how fast your battery drains? Ta-da!
when you take a picture, it does NOT take a "picture", it is a screenshot of what is displayed on your screen.
Recording a video? It's just a screen record, not an actual video recording using the phones camera.
If you just click home instead of backing out or killing Snapchat, the cameras will continue to run in the background and your battery will go down super fast.
I have similar experience, phone get really warm when sending several snaps and battery depletes super fast.

I know how Snapchat functions and the way it functions is absolutely rubish.
Well my camera isn't like foggy,it is just pixelated. I just need this phone to hold for 6 more months and it can rest in peace.
Taking pictures through the stock camera isn't as bad because the camera app removes the noise anf the pixelation,but in Snapchat it just doesn't look good,and in the viewfinder in the camera app it is the worst.
I bought my note about a month ago, and within a few days noticed that there's always a glow, or a lens flare on the left side while taking shots in the dark with the flash on. I'm thinking that the glass samsung installed for the bevel is the culprit, but can't find anything online about others having the same issue.
Yes I get that as well not sure why.
None here at all with the flash on. Maybe it's the case you are using?

flash reflecting off your hand/fingers?
Yup. Just confirmed it on mine. I went into my pitch black closet and took a photo with the flash. There's an obvious flare from the lower left of the pic.
Disclaimer: I do have a Slickwraps matte skin over the rear camera glass. But I don't think it would interfere with the lens or flash.
Today i had a stupid issue, while using the camera, main sensor created fog under the lens.
I used a hair dryer to clear it but as soon as i used the camera, lens got foggy again...
Both GCam and nokia cam used, fog kept re-appearing in the lens.
I left the camera to cool down, used the hair dryer again, cleared and reinstalled apps, restarted the phone, seems to be fine now....
Stupid question: Is there a possibility one can kill the camera sensor with a wrong app??? I was currently using GCam Unix 4.0

Wtf lol
1st backrider & 2nd urnyx05. The others are latest back rider. Looking at these and looking at specifically picture 1st & last picture it seems as though there's a effect happening with seems apparent in higher lighting shots. Seems foggy/cloudy on certain parts of the picture. Is this what u was dealing with? Last picture was shot before I noticed the fog

It's really bad actually. Will look at lense now
Can't make out no mist or anything on lense. I'll try your way out see if I can fix it. Maybe I'll have to take screenshots out and put it in my old 7+ lol
Fixed it! Before & after with backrider latest. Thank F for that
i returned to back.rider 2.6A and im not having any more problems too.
Hi guys.
I have a Xiaomi Mi5 64GB.
Lens shield has separated from frame a long time ago.
after that, I have seen many black spots. you can see the image.
I have tried so much that clean the spot but I couldn't.
What should I do?
Thanks.

I have same situation with Xperia devices. It must replace camera module. But... I'm doing with crazy metod, I'm hit my phone to the wall, hit in area near camera, use case must or frame will scratch. Hit until black spot disappear.
Black spot like your pict because lens by lens dirty cause small dust, can't clean without air high pressure.
Hope its work. Dont hit to strong, just until we hear "click2" in camera module. Or we can hit to mousepad in table

Inside. If outside your camera only blur/not sharp picture
Hi is anyone else got dust partials under the camera lens as mine seems to have a couple which wasn't there when I firt bought it
It won't bother me but will it have a problem in the future with pictures etc
Thanks
You should have it checked, cause it's not normal. More dust could collect in the future.

Return it. It is IP68 rated so no dust can get in. If you have got dust in there the seal has failed.
There is an app that was mentioned on this site for testing the ait tight seal, it would be worth testing with that.
