[Q] What files control camera on ROMs? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Chinese made Freelander pd10 Excellent tablet. It has android 4.0.3 and it has front and back camera. My problem is following:
I have two roms to the device. First is very unstable and really can't be used because constant rebooting and freezing. Both cameras are working with this rom.
The second rom is very stable and there's no rebooting, freezing or any of the problems related to the other rom. BUT, only front camera is working. There is no back camera with this rom.
So, could anyone give me some kind of advice or hint, what files I need to copy from the other, unstable rom, to this stable rom to make back camera work with it?

[Q] Camera CWM Flash

I've got something of a problem. I enjoy the speed and customization of Cyanogen, but I've also grown accustomed and frankly, think that the Samsung stock camera is the best camera app for our phones.
I was wondering whether or not it is possible to take the original stock camera, and create a CWM flashable ZIP file out of it? Like how Cyanogen has the ZIP flashable Google Apps.
I'm currently on a MIUI rom because it retains the original camera, but it doesn't have the finesse of Cyanogen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi,
cyanogen has another framework, the Samsung stock camera don't work.

CM and MIUI are pure aosp roms which has no 'samsungyness" left.
So no apps from samsung framework will work. Hence, you can NOT use stock camera on miui.
Only rom afaik, that is almost pure aosp and has a few good samsung apps in it, is GingerMod. (samsung browser, camera and fm radio).
And, for replacing/adding a new system app, if you have the app apk, you can just push it to /system/app using root explorer, set correct permissions and reboot. Cwm flashable zip is just an easy way.
Thanks for the replies. I've been pushing the Camera.apk into the app directory, but it wasn't working. I thought that the app itself may contain the drivers required; I didn't know it required an entirely different framework.
I'm running GingerMod right now, but unfortunately it is still sluggish compared to Cyanogen.
Can anyone recommend a camera app for Cyanogen, which is as close to stock as possible? Cyanogen's default camera unfortunately has a longer lag between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture, than the stock Samsung one.
Try Vignette, Camera 360 or lgCamera. They are pretty good. Sometimes I use them even instead of the stock app

[HELP] Camera not working!!

Hello guys, the camera on my CHD has stopped working from a few days, at first I thought this was a software issue because the camera would randomly work sometimes, I tried almost on all roms, the camera didn't work and just two days ago I flashed the KK 4.4.2 and the camera apk itself is missing from the system so I think its a hardware issue.
So if anybody had this problem earlier, or knows any solution for this please help me.
The thing is I don't think the camera unit is faulty because sometimes it opens when i press hard above the camera unit on its connector. So I'm not 100% sure on what problem it is..
Any help/advice is welcome..
Thank you

It could be a hardware prob , i encountered the no camera app prob after installing GAPPS in CM11 and The pacman rom , i reflashed it without GAPPS and now its working, so try that.

[Q] Stock camera for LiquidSmooth ROM

Sorry to post this question fellow members, I've been looking for several days without any luck. I was gonna post this quetion in the ROM thread, but thought it was the wrong place.
Currently running LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 on a Verizon LG-VS895 and just NOW noticed the stock camera was gone. I was wondering how to port the stock files back into this rom. I really miss the gimmicky stuff (like magic focus) and was wondering how to eliminate the camera that comes with this rom and revert to the stock camera.
I downloaded a stock rooted rom and tried seeing if i could move files over from it to my phone, but I'm unsure of where to start. Sorry in advance if this has been posted or if I'm a stupid newb, but this is driving me bananas.
I tried flashing camera mod hoping that would restore it, but that didn't work either. So, this question is based off of a fresh install of this rom.
Thanks

[Q] Sensors Work And Stop Working

I own a Galaxy S4 I9505 device.
Earlier I was running the stock based Custom ROM (Imperium 16.1, Android 4.4.2) on my S4 and there was no problem at all. That ROM gave me supreme performance, stability and battery life.
And then official Lollipop (5.0.1) was released by Samsung. I flashed the latest stock based custom Lollipop ROM on my device and the problem started (or may be the problem started because I have dropped my device once).
Now what happens is ... after I flash a ROM everything is working fine. But then after some uncertain period all the sensors stop working on the device.
Sometimes the issue is resolved by a simple restart, at times I have to clear the Cache and sometimes I have to clear the Cache and Dalvik Cache**.
All the sensors start working and after some time suddenly, all the sensors stop working.
I have tried all stock based Custom Lollipop ROMs and even AOSP based Lollipop ROMs, but this problem is persistent with all the Lollipop ROMS.
I have even tried Original Lollipop Firmware (flashed through odin), but the problem persists.
I open the back-cover and tightened all the screws, thinking it could resolve the issue. But the problem persists.
I am not able to decipher if this is a Software or Hardware issue.
Can anyone help me on this? Has anyone faced this type of problem? :crying:
I am not sure if this is the right place to post such a question. If it isn't please guide me to a proper thread.
Thanks
Since you just said you drop the phone.. i think it has something to do with that... looks like a hardware issue..

@radz.min thanks for the screen shot .... you think it could be a hardware issue ... but as i mentioned .... sensors work good for half an hour or so and then they stop working ... if it was a hardware issue ... it should not work at all .... right ??

Focus Fix issue

I in the past did not have the issue where the camera keeps making sound and can't focus at all, I've seen that devs have made special kernel for such users, is this issue permanent for all roms that I install henceforth or just on the current rom, if I flash a focus Fix kernel will its effect be on my current rom only or on all the roms I install after that? does focus Fix kernel restore it back to original state or you still have slight issue and hardware clicks? I'd appreciate answers!

Hi
Just like you I didn't have focuse issue but after I flashed a ROM with the fix now i have clicking sound and refocusing in videos. And I have this problem now in every ROM even the ROMs without the fix.
Now I'm trying to solve this problem, I hope rolling back to the official stock ROM will help me.
I don't recommend to install a ROM with the fix!

install pixel experience++ unofficial rom, you won't have the focus issue on that, it has no bugs except for the fact that volte doesn't work on it after reboot yet.

install pixel experience++ unofficial rom it won't have focus issue, you won't have volte on that after reboot though. it doesn't have any other bug that I know of
Does the Focus Issue problem work with Pixel Experience++ ?
Because i have the problem since i flashed a rom and the problem is still alive
i have tested many different camera apps but none fix the blurry pictures.
the focus works on a very low distance, but when you go outside and want to take a picture, they are always blurry..
I had the focus issue (blocked at 20 cm) and installing Resurrection Remix (RR-N-v5.8.5-20171006-x2-Final.zip), worked for me
