Hello, I do have a problem with my front camera. When trying to switch to the front camera within any camera app, the app freezes. I do not know when the problem started, but I noticed first on OOS 4.1.3. At first I thought it had to do with the custom kernel or some Magix mods. Because of that, I clean installed OOS 4.1.6 and only installed Magix (no mods, no kernel). The problem is still there. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Or is it a hardware issue and I should send the phone to repair?
My specs in short:
OnePlus 3t (64gb Rom)
OOS 4.1.6
Magix v12
Stock kernel
Thank you in advance
At first, try just to clear app data for camera app/gallery app and see if that helps. Else you should do a factory restore of phone to see if problem still persist, in that case it's probably hardware fault.

Thank you for the answer, I tried to use different camera apps (stock app, opencamera, snapdragon camera), they all crashed when trying to use the front camera.
I already did a factory reset when clean installing the newest OOS.
I really hope, this isn't a hardware fault. The "Phone tester" app shows the camera features as it should.
Could there be a problem with TWRP flashing the roms making a mistake? TWRP didn't show an error through. I am on TWRP 3.1.0-1
There could be something wrong in the persistent partition causing this, reflashing factory persist.img to partition might fix it (easy way is to use qualcomm restore method which restores everything).
Thank you, I will try it next weekend, when I am back home ?

Hi folks,
I have recently had an issue with the Moto G 2nd gen ONLY since yesterday with the Camera (Moto Camera app). I had been able to use the camera in the morning.
I tested with other apps which access the camera such as Instagram. Instagram could not start taking photo at all.
I don't know for what reason, the camera cannot start any longer. I tried to wipe the cache but it did not help at all. I am running standard Moto Android 5.0.2, with no custom firmware installed at all.
Does anyone know what is happening to my phone?
Thanks a lot for looking.
Try going to setings-->apps-->all, choose camera,delete cache,delete data,uninstall updates and stop the app. Reboot the device,try if camera app works. If yes install updates from playstore. If this doesn´t work boot the phone into recovery and delete cache partition. Maybe try first procedure again.If you are rooted you can try to uninstall camera via Titanium and install again.

Thanks for your suggestion :good:. I've done all of those steps. Even, I came to a point wipe all data and factory reset. No app installed rather than what comes with the phone. I still have the same error. Does it mean the camera has been physically broken?
Alright guys, I had to talk to Motorola Support about my case last week. After a long chat, I have it repaired under the warranty policy. I just received it back now. The camera was replaced due to hardware issue. Case closes here guys, thanks for the help so far.

To use Stock camera, you've to be in Stock ROM.
May be you'll need to check and flash another set of Gapps or wipe cache
@malli8043 hi, I'm having the same issues with the camera crashing on and on. I've been trying to change settings, cleared cashe, cleaned up dalvik, but ended up getting the error after a while. I installed a different rom (from Lineage 6.1 to Mokee) But after the optimization of the applications it stops working. The problem is that the front camera only works on, but the back camera has some issues with. I opened a discussion on this but no one is answering.

No one is answering...without offence, dude, your cross posting is kinda spam, and will lead you to nowhere! Let's say, more honesty, that you already got your answer, but maybe you didn't like it. For example, I personally adviced you to erase everything in your phone and perform a fully clean flash... Your problem doesn't exist on board the other moto x, do you understand it? So, no one could give you an answer about the how and why you experience such issue. Erase everything, also internal memory, then flash rom + gapps! Good luck
Hi @stefanowall, I didn't get any answer and I'm still waiting for one. I did twice a full clean flash, install the rom, install gapps(nano or pico) but it didn't work. Actually it stops working after the app updates, when it does the optimization of them, I did erase xposed framework, greenify, and all that was suspected in interfering. But the problem still persist. I think it is a binary that gets corrupted along with something else, or is a conflict of camera permission, because I don't understand why the camera settings are changed and only the front camera works, that's why I posted the pictures of the camera settings. The only solution I found was that I flashed a Motorola camera from Lolipop version and after that both cameras were working surprisingly. So I'm testing it now and will let you know if this works. But still I think that there is a conflict or a something like that...

This is what I get from the built-in camera app of my about one week old XP. Drives me nuts. I have defrosted all the bloatware I had freezed with Titanium, because I thought that may have been the reason. But it wasn't. I have tried with a third party camera app from Play Store, and that works without problems. So does the Snapchat camera. So it's nothing hardware, it's something that ties up the app. I have tried to reset the camera app, wipe data for the app and wipe dalvik and regular cache from TWRP. Any ideas what else I can do?
Could you find any solution?
Apart from using a third party app, not so far.
i have same problem
how to fix it? still waiting
I think it's the rooting with Magisk! I will see if I can find the developer. Have you two rooted?
Oh, it's not the rooting in itself, it must be Magisk. I have now rooted with SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip, and that worked as it should. No camera malfunctions.
I have reported it in the Magisk forum.
I have done a full repair using xperia companion and it still won't work. I believe Magisk is still installed, but I've already tried uninstalling it so how would I make sure?
Once you've unlocked the bootloader, it must be unlocked in order to use the stock camera app on an official ROM
use custom kernel to fix the problem

The problem is that the camera doesnt work with a RE-LOCKED bootloader , flashing a custom kernel is not possible with a LOCKED/RELOCKED bootloader.
Hi everyone,
within the past 3 weeks I have rooted (with magisk), installed xposed, gcam 8g2v6, uninstalled xposed and everything seemed ok until then.
And afterwards I replaced the mediaprofiles.xml file and I began to see tons of errors related to whatsapp, camera apps, etc. and therefore had to make a factory reset through settings menu of the phone.
Now rooted again but even before the root or now neither the stock camera app or the other camera apps are shooting video or letting me choose resolution for video. I can only record on open camera app through activating camera2.api.
Really having a hard time on how to shoot video properly again. Whatever camera app I install to shoot video starts in a very low resolution mode like 640*480. Even the video settings in the stock camera app are not there. At what point did I mess things up and how can I restore to how things were? No problems with the photo mode/quality by the way. I am on 9.2.1.0 global.
Appreciate any help. thanks.
Having tried pretty much whatever I have found on the web and still no success. Pls help.
Reflash ROM, should work

Thanks for the idea. However I am on global stable rom. And I already wiped and reset through phone menu once. No change.
I don't think that factory reset can revert the changes that root apps can do. Not the same thing...

Resetting the rom only resets the settings and states of the applications to their default values and thus behavior . But seems like that you changed something more - most probably some files are changed, which could not be reverted to the original state by factory reset. You have to flash the rom again. And will be better if you format the system partition before that.

Thanks. Do you mean I should reinstall the Global Factory rom externally through (TWRP or else software)???
If i do so, do I have to format the system partition and do I lose my IMEI?
Yes, reinstall with twrp. You will not lose your IMEI. It's not on system partition. If you have some doubt, flash official ROM with MiFlash. But my advise is use twrp. Deleting system partition is not mandatory, but make factory reset at least after flash.

Could be a hardware issue. I know you said you tried everything but did you try another camera app? Fastboot flash back to 10? Don't dirty flash, let it wipe data. If it persists afterwards and the other camera app did the same thing, you may want to explore any warranty you may have.

I try others camera apps and all just allow me to use front camera instead of rear camera, might try to flash back to 10, will see how it goes... I don't think its a hardware issue cause all of sudden i saw lot people comment on playstore review regarding this issue
