[Q] What do ROMs mean by "no working camera" - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When looking at a rom, all say no working camera. Does this mean the default camera doesn't work and I can just use a third party one. And one more question, does anyone know a rom for the galaxy player 5.0 with working hardware accel, panaorid android says working camera and "hw accel" but none of the replies confirms that

to the best of my knowledge it means that there are no good camera drivers and the camera does not work at all, or doesn't work properly.

no working camera means the camera will force close or will take screwed up pictures. most of the time a dev will recommend a 3rd party camera app or someone else in the thread will -just search- . gmillz PA says HW accel and Camera works -I just checked-

[Q] Secondary Front Facing VGA Camera Not working due to trying to get FM radio!

This is my first Android phone. I'm fairly new to the Android platform. It worked fine including the secondary camera. Then I found out it did not include the FM Radio w/RDS which I read in the specifications somewhere that it did have it. Well I downloaded and tried fmradio.apk and the connected music player radio app on this forum and plugged in the headset. The program was trying to launch, then pressed the back button and just had the radio screen. It did not function so then I deleted the programs. Now my secondary camera does not work. Is it because of the radio was trying to launch. I think it configured a file to make the secondary camera null or void. Anyway I'm trying to get the camera back the way it was so it will work again.
Well have you try factory reset?
When exactly did the secondary camera work in the first place? As far as I know, no big video-calling companies are supporting it.

Qik does.
I haven't looked at it, but I wonder. Did Google just not implement a FFC API? It's weird that it doesn't "just work". Qik needs a special Atrix app for it
There is a Qik for Atrix app. And also in the camera app, you can switch to using the front camera........
Yes I downloaded Qik and still nothing. Also a factory reset.
Secondary Camera
Ok now that I think about it the secondary camera was never on, it must of been the reflection on the glass. The main concern was with the radio, just have to wait until the next updates roll out.

Samsung Stock Camera experience in non-Samsung ROM (e.g. CM)

I'm a big fan of CM and other non-Samsung versions of Android. In the past, there has been no real reason to keep Samsung based ROMs. But with the S3, the stock camera app seems so much better than everything else, this is a problem.
Are there any ways of running the stock camera app in CM at the moment?
OR
Are there any alternative camera apps that can do the kind of continuous speed shooting (20 exposures etc.) that the Samsung stock app can do?

I would recommend using hx camera mod. I can say that it 's the best camera app so far especially when recording a video at 30Mbit - 1080p superfine. Try to look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691145 or http://hx-custom-roms.com/galaxy-s3-camera-mod

Thanks. I think this will only work on stock roms though as it is Samsung framework dependant. What I really want is something that will allow me to leave Samsung roms and move to for example Cyanogen mod, but keep the additional functionality found in the Samsung camera app.

Xperia Z Camera on SGS3 ?!

Hi!
I have a question, is it possible to flash the Xperia Z camera to the SGS3 and make it work ?
Sony's Camera software is excellent, But as the Huawai Camera app was ported to the Galaxy S3 and other devices it may be possible, But I believe the Huawai Camera app is like the ones you find in the Play Store, not reliant on specific hardware, Sony's Camera is very much Sony-framework based.
It would be very hard to port it while maintaining camera functionality lol.

Issue with camera

basically I got a second hand samsung galaxy s2 recently.
Everytime I load it up it says camera fail.
I can't use instagram or snapchat.
When I make a video or a non video call on skype it cuts out straight away.
However I can record and send videos on skype (so assumably the front camera is ok?)
is there anyway to set the instagram/snapchat cameras to front camera so that I can use them the same way that the skype video works.
I am running cyanogen mod 10.2
issue was present before rooting.

CM13 users, which camera app do you use for taking high-quality photos?

While the CM13 included camera app is relatively fast and great for quick-snap photos, I did manage to make some impressive photos while playing around on EMUI camera in Pro mode (before I flashed the phone), looking suprisingly good for such a low tier camera.
Since there's no manual mode in CM13, which camera app would you recommend to purchase/download(if free)?
Also, is the HDR bug guaranteed to occur in every app?
Thanks in advance!
Snap Camera works great!
How do u get SnapCamera on CM? Can you just flash it or..

As far as I'm aware Honor 5x nightlies don't include the Snap camera yet. It ships with the legacy Camera, which takes mediocre pictures and can't do HDR or Panoramas.
Google Camera is available for Panoramas, but the accelerometer/gyroscope is very jittery on the phone, so the stitching doesn't do a good job.
I don't think this issue is gonna be resolved until Camera2 API is ported into our CM nightly.

I do think the same, it's about software, not a specific camera app
I tried putting the ro.camera2.prtabilty.force_api=1 in the default.prop file by splitting boot.img and reflashing boot.IMG, putting manual focus line in build.prop and then flashing the ported emui 4.0 camera with twrp... Still badluck as it says Unfortunately, camera has stopped working
Just use Cm marsh(cm based costom ROM ) comes with snap camera
Update
Now use it on any ROM
Camera App ported

I've found that, no matter what camera app I install, I can't get the same picture quality I used to get on the stock ROM. Is there a reason for this? The drivers, maybe?

I guess is the camera processing is different on stock ROM from custom ROMs
