Has anyone gotten this to work? Whenever I take a picture, it ends up being black. Google Camera and Camera FV-5 both are slow to fire, usually a few seconds compared to the stock camera. Has anyone see this or know a workaround?
Yep, I have the exact same problem. I suspect it is because there is 2 rear cameras instead of one. However, you can use the front camera and lens blur will work, although it is not very practical...
If only we could have the source code of google camera...

I really want this lens blue too.
I can't figure it out but sometimes it does work.. mostly not. About 1 out of 5 photos makes it, the rest are black. I can't figure out why some work and some don't..
Haven't hit the issue?using Camera nx though (basically ported Google camera for 6p and 5x on 7.0)

Hey all; I have found the camera gets confused with focusing in some instances (IE; bug on glass pane) where "Close up" and "Auto" won't focus on the object at any distance at all.
Is there some app that can control camera focus normally?
Thanks!
I'd like to know something for this as well. Macro shots are terrible on this camera.
Just so everyone knows, we're not looking for something with a digital zoom(Since that takes away a lot of quality).
I've tried the stock camera, camera zoom fx, and camera FV-5(This one runs terribly for some reason). FV-5 has a manual focus mode, but it doesn't work very well and is kind of annoying to me.
I think the best chance you really have for getting any decent macroshots is to use a reverse lens or a proper macro lens.
stock camera autofocus is anoying need to press on screen.
i like the cyanogenmod camera, fast and good, so can any one sugest me a good camera replacer, looked on market but could find what i want, (have camera jb+) still no auto focus when i pres the buton to take foto...
any port of cm camera or aosp. that works?
it isn't that easy, the camera app on any android device is bound to hardware drivers and libs and framework things. but it's possible though like this one from Razr M, i don't know if it has the option you look for, try it though (just normal apk intall) http://www43.zippyshare.com/v/32432212/file.html
Noo still not. Na its a good camera.
But the auto focus is so bad on this phone. On stock camera when you pres the shot buton is does t even focus.... need to pres on screen. I loved the cm7 camera app. Pres 2sec on shot buton and it auto focus
Try "camera ics" from play store. Its supposed to be clone of stock ics camera. It focuses when you press shutter. It also takes photos while recording video so you won't lose that functionality. The photos and videos look much sharper with this app and the photos taken while taking video actually look good and sharp. Stock lg camera pics and videos look like it was taken by a vga camera if you aren't too careful

Hey all, so I got the unlocked US model of the G5. First thing I noticed is a scratch on the back on the paint near the camera. I was upset, but thinking if I returned it, I'd get something worse back.
Anyways, when I went to use Snapchat, I noticed if everything is on the dark side I can see some lines on the video/photo viewfinder and it stays in photos/videos if it shows while recording. So far this only appears to happen in Snapchat, so I'm hoping it's something with the app, as it doesn't show in the stock camera. (See sample video below)
Can anyone who uses Snapchat check if this is a thing?
Sample: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8OF-gTbFNmSVVdLSlAtdGdYUWM (that's South Park in the background fyi)
Thanks for any input!
I think if you have your phone in any version of English other than US, it will change the anti-banding setting in all camera apps. I can't watch the video right now, but it sounds like what you're describing. Snapchat is working just fine for me.

I don't think that's the problem. I'm in the U.S. and have it set to U.S. (just tried UK, as well).
It comes and goes and only on the right side of the screen.
I noticed also in the stock camera app it seems the viewfinder "lags" (has lots of motion blur) while taking photos., causing some photos to come out blurry. This never happened on my G5 H815.
My snapchat is the same, I get those lines down too
I have a Verizon G5 and have those exact issues in Snapchat. Strange, dully colored vertical lines when moving the rear camera, and a dark front camera.
The front seems to be a bit better from an update, but I'm thinking they have no idea how to code for the dual cameras.
I have the same problem on my g5 rs988
Update your Snapchat app, the issues I use to have is that front camera flashes on snapchat when trying to use it in low light photos or rooms, inside places, etc. Otherways the photo came extremaly grainy too, but no that lines.
Later I joined beta and it seems solved now i dont see that flashes from black to light or grainy selfies, even the resolution looks like normal camera even in low light
Same for me with G5 H850
The snapchat camera is fixed now.
Which Camera app do you use and why?
I've been switching between ABC and Open Camera.
Those both have DRO built in.
ABC night mode works well sometimes.
I like Open Camera HDR and the ability to lower ISO, though it doesnt support 23MP
I haven't had a chance to try the snap camera much.
I'm using CameraNextMod.
Stock - third party apps have worse shutter lag because camera will refocus before capture.
stock and google one

Never heard of that one, I'll have to look for the proj thread
XNext Camera, a modified Stock Camera
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr.../sonyz5-family-unlocked-xz-xc-camera-t3463148
I like keeping with the stock camera because i can use the dedicated camera button, and it uses the full 22.3 mp. With the mod, you could do some manual shooting (minus RAW capture)
You should be able to use the camera button with any camera.
I'd like to use the sony stock, but I'm on Lineage now so I didnt think it would work.

I just tried it with google camera, which is my only other camera app and i just knew now that it works. But the pre-focus doesnt.
Can Lineage capture RAW photos?
Stock because most apps dosnt support the max 23MP only 8MPx beside Camera FV-5
but! Camera FV-5 crash alot, the good thingg in Camera FV-5 you can use while the phone is hot and blow 4% batt, and abit more "control"
Only reason why I use Snap Camera is because I'm using LineageOS
Otherwise, I'd probably stick with default Sony camera
Greetings! So this is a tough one. I can usually fix these things myself. My LG G5 camera completely changed last week. I can no longer use manual mode on the rear camera, only the selfie camera has the option. When i click on mode while using the rear camera, the only options i have are snap movie, and auto. Manual mode is gone! Also, if i try to take picture with the volume button it gives an error saying "cannot take picture with volume buttons while CAM PLUS is connected." I am not using cam plus, i never have. Also, when in the options for the rear camera, there is no option above 8mp for picture quality. To top it off, I can't zoom either with the rear camera as it says "Zoom not supported for this mode". I mean seriously, wtf!?
I have tried 4 other camera apps, with no use. My pictures look grainy, and distorted most of the time. My s2 takes better pictures. I have messed with almost every setting in the options with no solution. I am praying that someone has a solution! I am on vacation and I am missing many great pictures. Thank you in advance!
