[Q] Change front camera as default camera - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.3, rooted.
My Problem: I destroyed my back camera a few days ago. But i like to use WhatsApp Web... For WhatsApp Web is a QR-Code scan required but in the app i can't change to the front camera.
Is there any way to change android system values that WhatsApp thinks that the front camera is the back camera ? If i can use the front camera in WhatsApp i could scan the QR Code

Just replace the main camera, takes 5 minutes and costs £15 from eBay.

[Q] Archos 70it, third party camera apps don't work

Hello,
Camera applications, other then the stock camera app, fail to work.
They boot up just fine and show image appropriatly, but when taking a picture no image is saved. I have tested a few camera apps, particularly Vignette demo and Paper camera.
Paper camera: this one shows the shutter animation, but nothing is saved.
Vignette demo: application informs that a picture is taken and then freezes.
The stock camera application however saves the pictures just fine to the sd card,
Does anyone have any idea of how this problem could be solved?
Many thanks in advance
On my A32 the only other cam app i can get to work is fast burst, It gives you a few more options than stock. I have tried every other cam app i can find with no luck, i have noticed that the scanner now works in google shopper with the new firmware.

Can I switch the main camera?

Hi!
My HTC M8's rear camera in on short cirtuit (I suppose, because as soon as I open it the image starts to vibe, and the phone makes a strange BZZZZ never heard before).
But my front camera works fine.
For some application, like Whatsapp Web or Google Cardboard, I need to scan a QR code... and it's impossible, because the rear camera can't focus, and I can't switch camera from the applications.
Is there any way to set the front camera as default one?
Thanks a lot!

Galaxy s10 Front and Back camera video recording in same time.

I was looking for this app for a while, i didn't find anything in google play...I only found camera app from NOKIA8,but this function is not working...app just crashes. I was surprised that all samsung users HAD this function long time ago, and it was working perfect..I am talking about dual camera photo/video recording. For example I am shooting video with main camera, and then im switching to front camera to show my self and people around.. THis was in stock camera in GALAXY NOTE 3.. You can see in youtube how it was working if you copy and paste this in a search window -> Видео/Как снимать одновременно передней и задней камерами <-
You could run 3 modes: shooting in both cameras in same time(''Bothie''), switching between them any time during the video from front cam to back cam, or puting front camera in a small square..while main camera working..
Why we don't have this function now??? is it possible somehow to run on s10 this old app from NOte 3? I was trying to run it.. but it was crashing..
Or do we have some another app? or may be someone can remake this app from NOte 3? It's a really nice feature to switch between cameras while you are recording video(for blogers or adventure trips where you need to show everything).. and i don't understand why no apps in play store and why Samsung didn't make it for new phones? You can also see similar function when you doing video calls in WATSAPP, you can also switch between cameras in a real time..I would even buy this app if someone could remake an old app from note 3

Use ONLY the Back Camera on Android 10

I need to use ONLY the Back Camera on my phone. The front camera is broken (dead hardware) and I need the Android 10 (Lineage 17.1 on Moto G3 Turbo XT1556) use and SEE ONLY the Back Camera as Unique Hardware on the system to take photos and record videos and this for default. An APP to do that will not solve my needs because the Internet Banking APP always asks for the NATIVE front/selfie Camera for access the account services and I can't because my camera is broken and I need INSIDE the Kernel a change that when every APP calls for the front/selfie Camera, it REDIRECT automatically to the BACK Camera.
Someone could help me???

[SEARCH] Camera app using wide and normal

Hi everyone,
I (ecological reason) bought a Fairphone 4.
It's really not what I expect from a phone so I am looking to update some apps.
The main issue I get is this one on Camera.
Fairphone 4 doesn't allow to record video from the wide angle camera... Yeah... WTF !!!
It seems to be described on the sepcs, but why ??? How a camera can be reduced to not recording video ?
My old LG G6 does it with wide camera.
Whatever, I tried to use other apps as Open Camera, HD Camera and others but I doesn't find a way to switch, even for picture mode, from the main camera to the wide one.
Do you have any idea of which app I may use ?
Thank you
buy that phone yesterday, have the same problem! By any chance, do you find some solution? Also i want to change from defalutOS to calyxos, but again - big issue inside camera.
