Hi XDA Community,
I'm having trouble accessing my the record feature with front facing camera on many apps except the stock camera app . On some apps it wouldn't even allow me to switch to my front facing camera at all; when I pressed the switch camera it would revert to the back camera. Apps like WeChat does allow me to take pictures using the front facing for selfies, but not video chat.
Things I tried so far.. reboot my phone, clearing caches, uninstalling useless apps (I still have a lot of space), checked the permissions on all apps, reset the app preferences. enabled camera, I spent almost three hours checking for answers. I need to use the front facing video capture. Please help. Much love and thanks!

Ok, we need more info - are you rooted, which OS do you have right now, did you flash any mods?
I would start with factory reset and if doesn't help, reflashing the ROM.

I'm only using Magisk v16 and xposed which I have been using for a very long time and no issues has occurred with them. Is there anyway not to reflash? Thank you
Just make a backup and check if the problem persists on a clean OS.

I've been an omnirom users for the good 6 month, and everything worked as expected with few glitches here and there however after version was bumped to 4.4.4 camera has been very unstable and keep crashing with "camera can't connect" and only reboot works this has been most inconvenientl... Tried to reflash, wipe, do the clean install tried different kernels... Same thing... Today phone rebooted automatically and got stuck on "Android is starting apps" without any success, tried to dirty reflash didn't help, had to do the Clean one...
Anyone else experiencing similar issues, any fix available?

I am experiencing issues with the camera as well. I am on 4.4.4-20140709-i777-nightly.zip and on first reboot, the camera was not taking pictures. When switching from photo to video, the resolution drops drastically. It took several restarts and now I can say it's taking pictures, but taking videos freezes the app, and other 3rd party video apps.

It can be a bit hit and miss, sadly. I use gapps provided by paranoid android, and the latest boeffla kernel (test branch).
How i usually install is this:
Rom
Gapps
Reboot and get set up
Back to recovery
Install kernel
Flash camera fix
And for good measure, wipe dalvik and cache.
Like i said though, it isnt a guaranteed fix u.u you can blame proprietary licences for that. Making lives difficult.

Thanks for your reply.
TWRP was already installed, I rooted, flashed Omni, flashed one modem, wifi didnt work, flashed another, that sorted it, flashed GAPPS, no camera, wiped everything, tried again, not working, wiped again, installed camera fix, not working, wiped again, not working, installed again, wiped again, etc, etc. Still not working
Edit : was on 2014-07-26, updated to 2014-07-28 and all working !!
Hello,
I have same problem with omni-4.4.4-20140730-i9300-NIGHTLY.zip, and other, older 4.4.3 versions !
I also have this problem on 4.4.4-20142728-i9305-nightly, and sometimes i take one photo then the camera app freezes. Tried the fix at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973 i like the camera app much more from the fix fyi, this is making me considering changing rom.
And one other problem i have with this rom is that, every option that is enabled in the rom as default i have to disable it and the enable it again to make it work.
I have not changed the kernel or any other tweaks or anything, just flashed rom with a clean flash
Hello. I just rooted my phone and I tried to uninstall HTC bloatware and virgin mobile bloatware. But every time my phone restarts the apps return. I heard of this happing with HTC phones. I'd like to remove it as this phone has very low storage as it is. I know there is a way but I'm unsure of how. Any help is appreciated.

I am having the same issue. Virgin mobile bloatware returns after a reboot. I am thinking about making a backup and manually deleting the apk files. Has anyone dealt with such an issue before? If so, please offer us some advice. Thank you.

Been using VM for longer than I care to admit. I've seen this once before I forget if it was my Evo 4G or my Optimus kept happening to me until a stable custom rom had them removed. I just honestly didnt reboot it ever

I am having the same problem with the Sprint version too. I have gone in with solid explorer and deleted the apk and the ODEX file that's with it and I get the same thing. They return....
The phones need S-OFF or a Custom Rom. I would follow one of those threads for a solution (eventually).
Wow.. Lol. Never had this problem before

Even after installing the kernel, the apps still come back. Plus with that kernel there is no ffc, and also SD card has problems. Trying to debloat this phone is a real pain.

The Cricket version of the WP removed kernel from shinru2004 worked like a charm. All my crap apps and then some are long gone baby. Try it again, or better yet get in touch with OP of your kernel @CurbThePain and ask.

Flash rbheomax's kernel (I believe both camera's work in V1), or pattyboi's kernel (both cameras work), and use Titanium Backup to remove the apps/bloatware. They shouldn't come back after that but if they do, you can always go into Play Store > Settings > Auto-update Apps and set it to Do not auto-update apps and they will quit re-installing. If you're using Flashify to flash the boot image then make sure you reboot the phone before attempting to remove the apps; if you're using TWRP to flash then you don't have to worry about that.

That was it. pattyboi's rhinstone kernel was the way to go. Both camera's working and no sd problems with write protection removed. Time to slim this thing down a bit. Thanks dip_spit.

Has anyone else tried this kernel and can verify there are no issues? I seen HTC has a new update for my phone and wonder how that would work:
Software uptate: 1.49.652.3
This update contains important enhancements and bug fixes, including:
ALERT: Patch for critical security vulnerability ('Stagefright')
- Device Stability improvements, bug fixes
- New and or enhanced features
- Further improvements to performance
Right now, my version is 1.48.652.2
I did a backup, then installed the RUU, let their software update install to keep from getting notified about it incessantly, and then put my kernel back with the application backups.
Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!
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 ?
I downloaded the latest Urnyx Gcam build. I am currently on LineageOS 17.1
I went to take a selfie video. The app froze and the front pop-up camera refuses to close itself.
- I used the stock camera app to bring down the front camera, it doesn't work.
- Restarted the phone couple of times
- Factory reset
- Change ROMs
- Used the motor.apk to manually bring down the camera, doesn't work too. It says "camera alread retracted" Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4930537&d=1579448949
I already tried flashing an AOSP based ROM, still didnt work.
- Dropping down the phone to my bed, doesn't work
Please I am in need of help. I can't put my phone on the pocket.
Not sure if it helps, I had the same issue on lineage yesterday and for some reason this app was able to retract it.
