Ever since I installed this ROM, I can't authorize my banking app because it uses facial recognition and my photos are fine and sharp in the preview, but blurry af when it's actually taken. Any idea how I can fix this? I even tried enabling EIS through build.prop

Hello,
I've noticed that ALL third party apps that utilize the camera - don't auto-focus at all, only the native camera app.
I first noticed this when I installed Smart Tools and there is a distance thing that uses the camera, I just thought that it's a bug in that app.
Now I need/want to use my phone as a webcam, I've installed DroidCam, EpocCam and IP Webcam - none of them auto-focus. It's always blurred and no matter if the scene changes or anything - the focus is locked.
I'm on a non rooted phone, latest OTA (Sense 6).
Is there 1) a way to fix auto-focus and/or 2) a webcam app that automatically enforces auto-focus someway?

I've noticed the same on my smartphone. It's a limitation of android?
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.
Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if we can use the wide angle camera for camera apps such as Snapchat and or Camera MX. Itt would be amazing to show off on ur friends.
I think where we should look is how to switch the primary camera to the wide-angle camera.
Your ideas are welcomed!! :good:
Tried WhatsApp & twitter, both let you toggle all 3 cameras.

I have another concern. If there are AOSP or CM-based ROMs in the future, is there going to be a way to make the Google camera app use the wide angle lens? Or even better, be able to switch between the lenses like the stock ROM?
I wouldn't use it as primary because it lacks auto focus but I'd love to switch between them especially for photosphere photos..
It works for whatsapp but it doesn't for Google camera
If Twitter and WhatsApp let you use all three cameras, hopefully it's just a case of waiting for Snapchat and Google to implement support.
Yeah, i guess we need just a little more time for snapchat to support the third camera, specially more up coming phones now have 3 cameras
Don't expect anything from snapchat team. They are super lazy for anything about android.
Try Casper Snapchat client (casper.io) it let's use choose which camera app u want to to take snaps with including lg's camera.
I dont recommend using casper because you get banned from snapchat

I've just bought k20 pro and I noticed the snapchat camera is always zoomed in compared to stock or google camera, is there a way to fix that or am I missing something, because I use snapchat camera way more than stock one and the picture quality in that suffers due to zoom issue
Snapchat does not works well in an android because of lots of other android phones with different screen sizes, chipsets, cameras, etc and the its is not actually zoomed it is stretched due to full screen aspect ratio and quality is **** than stock camera all you can do is use filters or buy an iphone

It's all because external apps in android don't use hardware camera implementation, instead they are using preview from recording view. There is no way for you to fix it, but app developers can just change implementation. Hovewer they won't probably do it, as there are too much different devices running android.
It's not zoomed in. Keep in mind that you're comparing 4:3 to something like 16:9 to 18:9. It cuts off the sides, which makes it look like it's zoomed in, but it's not.
Nothing can be done. Snapchat, Instagram etc uses the screen capture of the view finder,so the quality of the pics will be trash. To get optimized and good results go for iPhone.(any variant)
I recently disabled the Google Photos app as I had no need for it and was bothered by its intrusion. However, when I used my Google Camera and then attempted to edit the shot, I was met with a message that said something to the effect that 'I could not edit my photos with the Google Photos app disabled.'
Is there some way around this without enabling Photos, or do I need to switch to a different camera app? And if the latter, would GCAM give me a comparable photo experience?
I believe you just need to install another photo app but it will not be integrated with the camera app (have to open the pics/vids with the other photo app separately). I've been using xgallery but find the ads a bit too annoying. Will see if I can get the LineageOS's gallery installed (don't know if it's possible.)
