I have installed 27th April CM9 Nightly build on my SGT P1000 and somehow, the camera is working perfectly fine. I am unable to find settings for the camera, but it's working perfect. The gallery is showing all the images that I have captured.
The reason of writing this post is that all other posts claim that the camera is not yet working for ICS port on SGT-P1000. I first installed Overcome 4.1.0 with the kernel, and then flashed the CM9.
The question is, how is it working, and is it normal to work?
If it is normal to work, can someone point me in the direction where i can follow the updates?
Links
I used this get.cm link for downloading the CWM flashable CM9 nightly build ROM. Just want all to know that EVERYTHING seems to be perfect. I flashed the ROM yesterday, and till now, everything works.
Wifi
Bluetooth
Video Recording
Camera
Music playback
video playback
GPS
Video calling (through skype etc.)
Front/Rear Cam
Smooth Screen Rotation
Live Wallpapers
Phone
Contacts
SD Mount
Market
Browser is smooth as ever, tabbed and can be linked with chrome
Just want to know if anyone else has flashed this, and if anyone else has cam working.
I remember someone came up with a fix for the camera in the form of a flashable zip a while back so I imagine it's been included in the latest CM9 builds.
Well, I am still waiting for people to comment on it. I haven't found any comments. Is there a thread following the nightly CM9 build for p1000?
It has been working fine for many weeks.
This is the discussion thread

Thanks Priyana, just a little problem, i posted in a new question thread aswell.
Unfortunately, camera closed. This error I am getting frequently. Not always, but frequently. I have no idea what is causing the app to run sometimes, but close at other times.
I am on aokp milestone 5.
I also have camera fc from time to time.

Little manual fix i have. Put the cam to 2.5 MP and when your'e clicking a pic, dont press and hold the blue button. Just push and let go. The pic will snap, and the frequency of cam gone FC will reduce by 90%. I think there is a problem with the autofocus which causes the cam to go bonkers. Do try it and share...

not working bro . .is there any update to fix this?
I installed update A1PV1.0.0B25 this morning and tried to take a photo in Bokeh mode and get, "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped," message. Then, I attempt to take photo in regular mode, the shutter click sounds, but no photo is taken. Not sure what other problems there are yet, but...PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Not sure what the fix is other than rolling back the update (if possible). Ironic in that this update was supposed to improve camera function. The video camera functionality appears to be working correctly.
Good to know! Thank you for the warning. I saw the notification about the update this morning but I am at work so didn't want to update until I got home. Now I may wait awhile to see if they know about this and will fix it soon.
Stinks though, as when I saw the notification I was actually a bit excited to see there was an update and for the camera especially! On well. Guess they need more thorough testing procedures...
It Breaks Google Camera Too!
I wish I hadn't been in such a rush to upgrade. This is extraordinarily bad. Didn't they QA this? As well this probably means that the marshmallow update won't be until probably mid to late Q1. I had got excited with the first update that they would update quickly. I guess that was wishful thinking. I really regret getting this phone.
Google Camera doesn't work as well. When you try and run it you see "Camera error - there was a problem saving your photo or video".
I got this phone mainly for the audio chip and its cheaper price even with these high end specs. So far my only complaint is with the camera, as I think it could be clearer and better. Image stabilization would help a ton. But like you I find myself questioning my choice. Looking at that BlackBerry Priv, but man, is that expensive!
Hopefully they can figure out the camera issues and release another update soon.
Dont update!
I was an idiot and updated this morning without checking this forum. I should have waited because now I have no camera. I can't take pictures, I can't take screenshots, this is a complete waste. Doesn't zte test this before releasing. Obviously not.
No response yet from ZTE support
I hit up their support on the website. Haven't heard anything back yet. Not holding my breath either. If I hear anything from, I'll make sure to update. In the meantime, it might help if those of us who were suckered into installing the update hit up their support and let them know. Y'know...in case they're inclined to think it's not a widespread issue, which it looks like it is.
Wow this is a bummer. Did anyone have a successful update?

Glad to hear the update is good-to-go for you. So maybe the update isn't bad in and of itself, but may be busting the camera due to some incompatibility with something installed on some phones, but not on others. What could that be? I have no idea, but I think I see a factory reset in my very near future.
Oh, wow. On the phone with ZTE "VIP" support. They are effectively telling me "you can try a reset" and if that doesn't work "not our problem".
Seriously, So If the update messes up the device you are on your own? ?
Sent from my A1P using Tapatalk
OK, a further update after being on the phone with ZTE support for 1 1/2 hours. It appears that the upgrade had been cancelled because of problems with the release. I was offered a new device with the older release if a reset did not fix the problem.
However ZTE support could provide no transparency on when a new release could/would be available and ZTE provide no way to put in a proper support ticket for tracking purposes.
@gflash2015 Well at least they offend a new device. I rolled the dice and updated just now, hoping it would resolve my light and proximity sensor bug (both stopped working last week). Smooth sailing so far no sign of any of the bugs mentioned. Didn't fix the sensors though. Camera launches much faster now.

does wifi calling work on networks otherthan t mobile or this update is oly for t mobile customers
there is an uninstallable app that was included in the update ZTE rewards it sucks that i cant remove it.
I just tried doing a factory data reset and that seemed to clear up the camera/screenshot issues. It also managed to keep the phone on the B25 build so WiFi calling for T-Mobile was added along with the double-tap of the camera button to launch the camera.

My update was successful also my camera is working great I've tried all the mode and haven't had any crashes
Sent from my A1P using Tapatalk
I decided not to do the update. But I just checked to see I still could and its saying my phone is currently up to date. So they did take the update away until they fix it. I don't know...
Update was messed up for me. I called tech support got a human in two rings. Reset the data via settings<apps<all<media storage then force stop and clear data.
This will wipe out your photos so make sure everything is backed up.
Everything works great now.
It took me only an 11 minute phone call.
The tech said there will be a patch out Monday. He also confirmed a marshmallow update is in the works.

hi,
my mother, aunt and uncle all use the redmi 4x. I installed xiaomi.eu 9.1.2.0 on my mother phone + magisk + api module and gcam 4.4 hdr+. everything works. stock cam, gcam.
my aunt saw the photos and wanted the same so I did. everything the same, works aswell.
now my uncle wanted the same and I installed but with newer version 9.2.1.0. stock cam crashes. gcam crashes aswell. without api stock cam works.
now I updated my mother to 9.2.1.0 too, stock cam stopped working but gcam still works. so how I get the gcam to work on my uncles phone??
thanks in advance
Stock camera stopped beign compatible with camera2api since 7.12.28 update, so every new update has this problem including the latest global stable. Till now the only way to fix this is installing modded miui camera or rollback to miui 7.12.21 or a previous version. For gcam, I'm not sure why it doesn't work in one of your phones, but try this one with manual focus, you can take photos with portrait mode in front camera too.
In fact I was in oreo, but decided to give another try to miui, since oreo still has a annoying bug with multitouch even now that it's pretty much stable. So now I have miui.am. not the official miui. But I can confirm that both cameras work. Only problem for me is that miui camera has less options for some reason, I still need to test. And in gcam everything work just fine, I can use all the options like camcorder, face retouch and portrait mode in front camera without any crash or need to change settings, like before in oreo. Only problem is that you still need to set the iso manually.
Give it a try if you want, this is the modded miui camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74893764&postcount=1431
A mirror of the gcam with manual focus, because they deleted the original link: https://mega.nz/#!H5UgUKBZ!wBsXz5fbpPRREooq5-WcNsd0Tdfkit-yQcyOapMo464
And I will attach my settings. Also if you don't mind to much about miui, you can install latest unofficial RR luis build, it has already miui and google camera, and both work fine.
To use portrait mode in front camera, you need to adjust the iso with the left scroll to any value between 800 and 3200. Just don't let it on auto.

mine uncle got it to work but with nexus 6p settings, your settings gives him a black screen. do you have a autofokus version? no auto fokus in videos is noticable.
I have the same version that I posted to you, from the mega link. Tbh I'm not sure what makes some version work on certain roms, while in other doesn't. Im using clarity kernel, but if I'm not mistaken it worked also on stock kernel. On miui eu it worked fine for me too

thats weird that I have 0 problems on my mothers phone but uncle got always 1 problem. I can use your config on my mother and it works. on uncle it's black screen. then he can use camera with nexus 6p config but then front cam not working. I think I read that many xiaomi phones got diferrent displays / fingerscanner / cams etc.

Yeah, that may be the cause. It's common to see the same redmi 4x with different hardware like screen type, fingerprint sensor and even the led, some has only white led when others have full rgb led like mine.
Anyway, check here. There is a lot of gcam's versions. With some luck, one of them will work on your uncle's phone.

Yeah, unfortunately it didn't work well for me too. I tried to see if arnovaG82 would fix it, but seems like not. So righ now I'm on Multipro 7.12.14 build, with little but nice customization, but more important both cameras work fine.
This modded camera seems like it doesn't work well on miui roms for some reason. I tried it on newest and some old miui builds, and neither worked fine. I'm not sure why, I can remember that it worked before. Now only if I flash it on a custom rom it work fine.
Hello everyone, I created this thread to help anyone that wants to update the camera app version through apk,
Thanks to an user from this forum I found it, camera version 305 to 312, if you have a newer version of this camera's app you can contribute with this thread sharing the new release, thanks
Enjoy https://mega.nz/#!JRIzHCiR!NJNfCfI5_IJ418EWO0kNQrI7UyJ8mrcEOw_l3uLcaxM
Thanks big time!
just need to know should i need to place the other arm folder somewhere or not as i cant find the document scan option within the camera app after updating and it says in the more tab that its already downloaded
That's happened in my camera app too, maybe you can try to move the add-ons from /data/camera folder I didnt try for now,

its simple dont panic, just go toCamera app info and click the 3 dots in the top right corner, then click unistalls app updates, and its back to the older version.
Can anyone please tell me what's the difference between the current ( EMUI 9.1) camera version and this one? Does it offer 50x zo etc?
Only 10x zoom max with last fw. Apparently they only let the same camera do 30x zoom on the Mate 20 series. Probably artificial limitation to make the newer phone more appealing...
Someone knows what's more in the version 9.1.0.319 and 9.1.0.323
I'm in 9.1.328 os version and I have the 318 camera version.

Need to tell you all I`ve got CLT-L29 with 9.1.0.328 - and the camera got Terrible! Night-mode is atrocious, and day-time shooting worsened. Night mode now makes flat, ugly, no-life-basic photos (doesn`t matter if vivid or whatever colour mode is used), day-time pictures are dark, with worse dynamic range then before. I tried everything to go back to previous version - not possible in my experience. If anyone succeeded in downgrading the camera app version, or installing an older one, PLEASE let me know how. My phone is not rooted - cant find a way to unlock the bootloader. (I read about a possible way with disassembling the phone, but I wouldn`t do that to it).
Cheers,
P.S. - If you have a P20 Pro with older android version - do not update! - it will destroy your camera (basically the only thing you bought the phone for).
I have no issue with 328 firmware emui 9.1 and the cam, how I am in 345 firmware with a new version of camera app, working fine, you can make a factory reset or simply reset the camera app settings

You haven`t noticed. They made it gradually worse - with 8.1 it was so much better in regards of color depth, dynamic range, contrast setting, night mode contrast, light sensitivity - everything, by the time they made 9.1... it is nothing of the kind. BTW this issue is noted, A1 representative I spoke to, said Huawei were "aware" of the night-mode problem, and "wold fix it" in the next generation of updates. But I as a very keen photo-maniac, who bought this phone precisely for the camera, noticed it getting worse by every update, so I don`t truly believe they will fix it. When with 8.1 p20pro was hands down the low-light monster and had outstanding color depth, which the p30pro couldn`t reach because it lacks the monochrome camera (same goes for the nigh-mode). So even if they do something about the night-mode in future updates, for it would be made so that the camera will be smudged to produce p30pro-like (but blurrier) photos.
Otherwise - I made factory reset, probably 10 times since then, even found a way to delete the camera app with adb run tool, installed the latest version from apk-mirror - still the same (of course). Then I factory reset the phone again and again and again...
So please, when citing me, please cite me only if you found a way to answer my query and you personally managed to install a workingly-run 8.1 camera version, please. Thank you so much for your understanding and willingness to help!
Cheers!
My camera is ok too. I use night mode even during the day, sometimes, for the dramatic effect.

Interesting. What is your p20p model: C432 or C7..?
I answer you in the right way with the typical issues with the software and the cam, I don't care how many times you made factory reset, I see improvements in the cam with emui9.1, maybe your cam or phone is damage, or whatever,

Hello All,
I have recently bought a global version of MI 9 and everything was fine until one of the updates that I got.
1. I got the MIUI update with the June security patch (Android Version - 9 PKQ1.181121.001, MIUI version - MIUI GLOBAL VERSION 10.2.13 STABLE 10.2.13.0 (PFAMIXM))
2. Google photos shows as last updated on the same day (4.21.0.258856319)
Everything else is fine, but after I open Google Photos and open any photo, the photo just dims. Is hard to explain and hence attaching the video for details. Any ideas ??
Video can be found here - https://photos.app.goo.gl/vBvLXTAQXBiADV7j7
Uninstall Google photo update and check if the problem stay.
My Google photo version is 4.20 updated on 18 July.
I have the exact same issue on Mi 9 Global.
Downgraded Google Photos to 4.15.0.245117517 and the dimming issue when opening a photo went away.
Found the same problem with eu rom, downgrade to be Google Photos 4.17.0.249919200 is also good.
Need to wait until newer Google Photos version before trying again.
In display setttings/contrast use normal, adaptive and boost cause the dimming effect

It's not that issue. I've got the same since the last update and haven't touched anything. Apparently Google screwed up and thank God it's not only me.
Download the latest gphotos and disable any contrast settings and dimming does not accur
Issue is caused from Google Photo's app, not from build.
Just got 4.21 version of Google photo and the issue start like yours,so i decided to change the colors mode in display setting to standard and it seems to fix it somehow but not like as before, still little dimming or contrast adjustment happening.
I have unistalled updates in app settings, then update from playstore and now is ok
Using standard display will made screen look like washed out and not rich colors.
Removing the update + reinstalling fixed it.

I don't use Google photos but I do recall seeing people complain about this on another forum and a different phone... So looks like it's a bug in Google photos not miui.

It's due Google Photos now support Wide Color Gamut including P3 color mode, other android app just support sRGB. Therefore Google Photos can now differentiate more colors than before which is good, but our android versions don't support it now. It works flawlessly in Pixel phones but causing Yellowish/Green tint or dimming or contrasty in others. Don't worry GPhotos may roll back this update temporarilyhttps://www.xda-developers.com/google-photos-wide-color-image-support-buggy-photo-viewer/
