I'm on Temasek's unofficial CM11 rom, and I have this issue which has been bugging me since half a year ago when I made the jump from rooted stock roms to AOSP roms.
Whenever I take a picture using either the front or back camera, the width of the saved picture would be so much bigger compared to the image I'll see before I take the picture, causing it to have more objects in the final picture. It's really irritating because I'll never be able to take a proper picture without having objects and people photobombing.
Does anyone else have this problem?
yeah, i'm getting the same thing on OMNI rom

Finally found someone else having the same problem! Did you ask around back then for the solution?
same
I had a slimier problem that when I use the camera and set the pic as a home wallpaper, it becomes so much bigger and couldn't modify the size.
Issue has been solved after wiping everything and re-install the same rom. So I would suggest to wipe your phone and install the rom again.
Not a rom issue..i tried switching between roms but nothing seemed to work.
i've asked in the rom thread, see what others have to say:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49219713&postcount=4498
That's a known problem in all aosp/Google stock ROMs, included n5 stock Rom have this problem.
The problem is that the camera don't have the black frames up and down to fit the real aspect ratio of the camera to view finder
For me is a annoyed bug, but seems that no lot off people are disappointed with it because there's no fix for it
Hope someone with more android knowledge could help us

I would have liked to just post this in the ViperRez thread, but I guess the rules dictate I must ask it here. I'm running ViperRez 1.03 and I absolutely love it. However, after searching the thread, and trying a couple fixes, I am still getting the issue with the camera not functioning. You go to take a picture and it seems like it fails to auto-focus and then just boots you back to your homescreen. No FC error or anything. It's seemingly random, and quite frustrating. My questions is whether or not there has been a definitive fix to this problem or not. And if not, does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality camera app to replace stock?
Disable auto focus and face detection that should help

Fix works for camera, but not for video
Turning off auto focus and face recognition works for the camera, but the video function still closes back to the home screen. Any suggestions on how to fix that are most welcome.

Thanks for the tip. I don't mean to be negative, however I still don't get 100% functionality from doing this. I took 5 pictures just now and on the 6th it did it. And not to mention, with auto-focus turned off, 3 of those 5 are extremely blurry. Is this bug an issue with the rom and the hardware or just a bug with the camera app? Could using a different camera app from the market help? I absolutely love this ROM but its looking like I'm going to downgrade my entire user experience and use a sense 3.6 rom. It seems like it should be such an easy fix, I'm used to much bigger hurdles on much harder phones to dev for.
I don't mean to come across as entitled, I'm just confused really. I came from the Bionic and the Droid X, both of which had locked bootloaders, yet the development for those phones seemed to go much smoother. Seems like with this phone, only sense 3.6 roms are stable. Everything else seems to be spotty at best. I'd be happy if AOSP worked correctly, I don't really NEED sense. AOSP roms have more issues than the camera.

Try swapping your storage partition default on the camera app. It shouldn't be doing that, mine's been working great for months and I take a lot of pictures.
Mine started acting up as well after a few days of use. I ended up just reflashing the rom to fix it and so far so good. Next time I might just try flashing the kernel alone and see what happens. I have a feeling its a rom issue though since im on vinylfreaks kernel and not the stock one, ( runs cooler with it).
I also wish there was just a way to reflash the camera app. I might try extracting the rom zip file also next time but it happened to me out on the road and I needed the camera working so couldnt do much troubleshooting
edit:
found this post, seems like the same problem. He used titanium backup to wipe camera app data. check the link below

Hello, I've checked quite a few threads looking for someone with an issue close to mine, but I haven't found anything, so here I am, posting it.
Phone specs:
Model number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: I9100UHLPF
Kernvel version: 3.0.15-I9100UHLPJ-CL35254 [email protected]#3
It's basically a stock ROM from my carrier, it's called Personal and it's from Argentina, a very ****ty ROM to be honest but I'm quite scared of rooting and flashing a new ROM to this phone due to previous experiences doing so with my HTC Sensation.
Every time I take a picture with the default camera app my Samsung Galaxy S2 comes with, it applies some kind of odd filter thing that basically kills the picture, it's like, it takes the picture with no issues whatsoever and then suddenly applies some kind of green olive layer on top of it, sometimes it covers the whole picture, sometimes there's none, and sometimes it covers half of it, give or take a few pixels. This does not happen with other camera apps, I downloaded Pudding Camera and it does not present those issues.
Now, even though this does not occur with other apps, I'm quite upset about it because I find this specific app to be very good at taking and setting up photographies for a mobile phone, and any help would be appreciated if it's a mere configuration issue, although I've already done configuration resets and nothing changes. It looks like an app issue more than a hardware issue but I'm not really sure.
Thanks for taking your time to read this.
If your happy with the "pudding camera" then whats the problem.
And Id look on sammobile and see what firmware is available for my country to see if the camera works properly.
Theres also a rumour people on here use custom roms.......lol

I've used many custom ROMs, but I wanted to know if it was a hardware issue or not.
It seems that my s2 has issues taking pictures on the highest resolution which is 8m and it's 3264x2448, I can't fathom how this is happening since the camera is supposed to be 8 Megapixels so I can assume I was ripped off and given a camera that isn't 8MP.

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with my camera as it doesn't focus after 25cm. Before I ask for your help I would like to mention that I used many camera apps and I have change many roms including Miui 9, Oreo 8.1, lineage[/B][/B] etc. At last I ask for gearbest's help (where I buy my le max 2 x829) if there is anything I can do in order to fix it. The only answer I receive is that my device doesn't support focus function and that is why all photos are blurry take 300 points. When I buy it thought the camera worked fine! Please help me , camera was the reason why I bought this device in first place.

First, always make a search before post, your problem is common on this device, and the dev of the rom you are using can provide a kernel with focus fix, and its ok.
Any rom you will install first take a search on the thread and see if have a focus fix or not for camera.
Second, provide what rom you are using now! so we can help you.
I use pixel experience x2 8.1 official. I know there are many post about it the problem is that I have use almost every (even Chinese) roms. Right now I am downloading rr- v6.0.0

Ask the dev of the rom you are dwnloading for a kernel with focus fix for you, or you still have the focus problem.
I have download the rr v6.0.0 , as you may have already seen there is a focus fix kernal to download there provided by them I did the same installation 2 times once yesterday and once today after I completely format my phone I start from flash nothing happen I still have the same problem. I start with a question as some may had the same problem and found that focus fix kernal and that rom.
Thank you all in advance

Try opening the camera app and repeatedly tap on the glass of the camera on the back. It's probably stuck or something.
Still nothing !

If flashing the focus fix kernel for the you are using, maybe going back to EUI make it work again?
If not, than you have a hardware problem.

about the camera i dont have any issue or focus issue on any rom.
Yep I have exactly the same focus issue as OP, was wondering if going back to stock EUI would help bring the camera back to life.
Tested on 19s EUI Indian ROM and on 26s Chinese EUI ROM and It still doesn't work, I think this is a hardware problem caused by a software, I guess we're stick with this camera till the end.

Stupid answer actually. Try to flash stock eui, if still broken, you should ask for refund.
The problem is that hardware may vary, some people have problems, some other don't
recently I also have same focus and blur issue with my Le Eco max 2
in last month when I handset not showing focus , but next day I don't find any issue with camera , then I noticed that due to summer and I was outside my handset body was hot and next day it was in normal temp
but again after very next day I found same issue and its not working in normal body temp
and this issue is only with rear camera and not with front camera
please help me for focus and blur issue with my rear camera
Hi,
I think it's time to say that we have to stop thinking that this is due to the rom ... I had two leeco max 280 & 281 with the original roms ... the focus is break down on both after a few months. It is a material problem. I bought and change the cameras (V1611) by V1620 & v1621 and since it is perfectly ok.
Regards
Heyyo, for focus issues? X2's do have weak camera actuators. My x2 was fine for the longest time, but I'm clumsy and have dropped it a few times and now I do require focus fix to be enabled.
Most ROMs these days have a toggle found in the settings btw. For LineageOS? It would be found under Settings > System > Advanced > LeEco Settings.
I have seen before that some users report attaching a coin magnet beside the camera, I think below the flash module can help with getting the camera to focus again... Albeit at the loss of OIS since the camera won't be able to balance... So at that point? You are better off ordering a new camera module and replacing it. The fingerprint sensor replacement guide for x2 is amazing here on XDA and the camera sensor is just beside the fingerprint sensor so that guide works good for this purpose too.
So everybody that had focus fix problems that started in Nougat may notice the focus fix kernel's and toggle's hardly work on Oreo ROMs, I've tested a couple of ROMs in the past month including Extended, AeX, Los, Carbon... And I've notice that on all of these ROMs my camera still doesn't focus, it's like it's stuck focusing at one spot and you can never change it, that's why close up pictures taken with my phone look alright but If I take a picture of a tree from a far it will be very blurry. My question here is, is there any real focus fix that would help me resolve this issue. Past year when the focusing issue 1st started I fixed it by changing to Cuoco's EUI ROM, and the camera there was perfect, I never had any Issues with it, but sadly I dislike EUI.
AFAIK there is no fix for that. But not all devices are affected, I have no problems

Yeh I've noticed not many people have this problem, guess I will hang around on an Oreo ROM without back cam for a while until I get a new phone..
I don't know, I have not heard about any fix other than you mentioned about. If it does not work for you, there is nothing left.

I'm not enough of an expert to tell you what causes this problem, but I know many ROMs contain the fix for it already, and some offer an additional download for the focus fix if it's needed. So just have a look through the ROM threads, I know one ROM has a download with a focus fix kernel to download as well, I'm not for a second saying that kernel would work on your ROM, but if you've got TWRP and a full backup and stuff, if you can't find out if it will work with your ROM, then flashing it anyway won't do any lasting harm I don't think, you'd just have to restore your backup, but don't hold me to that lol.
Heyyo, are you using official EUI ROM 19s or a different one?
If official? Hmm that's really not good as it means your camera actuator is defective... Some people say shaking the phone helps.. others say reverting to an ancient version of EUI ROM like 14s and using camera there and then going to EUI ROM 28s... But no idea if it would help you. If not? It's definitely hardware and would require replacing the camera module.
Going back to stock then settling for 20s fixed the camera for me.
Camera was working fine with Cuoco92 23s then suddenly stopped focusing.
Upgrade to 28s did not work.
Factory reset - flash to Cuoco92 14s (camera still not focus)
Then flash to Cuoco92 28s - camera works now.
Dont know why but this info might helps someone.
Camera is poor and barely supported, this is currently biggest disadvantage. As hardware is relatively poor, camera is very easy to scratch, software support is poor too, for example panorama will be always out of focus, movies have crazy focus jumping, under or over exposed in case when light conditions change during filming, also pictures are always relatively poor quality.
Just use other phone to make photo, if you can't live with that, x2 is not for you. I'm lucky I am not getting "focus issue" mentioned, but all other issues as I said makes camera rather poor.

yep, you are absolutely right.
And I guess I spoke too soon about the "camera focus fix". The issue reappears after two days. Never quite understand how it could be working one day and not the next.

Does the same apply to Lineage 15.1?
This happened to me on a resurrection remix nougat ROM randomly one day after working flawlessly for several months. Updated to AospExtended and then tried flashing a fix, but issue was still not solved. Personally this problem doesn't make the phone unusable, but it is annoying when I want to take an occasional picture of a nice car or a moment in life.
