Custom ROM - Camera too blurry - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi people,
I already asked this in a ROM thread, but since I have the problem on other custom rom too, I decided to ask it here.
Yesterday I flashed the Aosp Extended ROM. Everything except the camera is okay.
Today I flashed the Viper ROM. Everything except the camera is okay.
The problem is, when I am about to take the photo or, before I click on the shutter in the camera app, the picture is too blurry or I have problem with focusing.
After I have taken the photo, the photo seems okay and not blurry like in the "preview".
I have attached two photos. One is screenshot of my camera app, other one is a picture taken with that camera app.
As you can see, the screenshot is just blurry.
Anything that could be done on this point?
I came from MIUI 9 global version.
Flashed Firmware in the AEX thread, flashed rom, flashed gapps. Camera was bad.
Now I have flashed the Viper, camera is same.
Is it maybe Firmware problem or something?
Thanks.

Ya, that's same with everyone in custom roms using that default camera app. Preview is grainy and blur, but after taking the snap the photo comes out good. For better camera results try out the google camera mod app. :good:

Exactly. What I can see through the app is bugging me, the photo after shooting is alright. It'd be great if they find out a solution for this, it is tough to know when the object is focused with the current situation

Alright, thanks for the infos.
I thought it was only me but if its on every custom rom like that, then there is nothing I can do..
Just, @Shubho20
with google modded camera, is the preview okay? Or its still not as good as MIUI stock camera?

Preview is normal. Camera is awesome with the auto HDR+ mode.

the camera on stock GB rom works flawlessly, why do you need the ICS version.
ICS camera is the best for me, macro mode is better than in stock camera, is smoothly and take brighter pictures, I don't know why everyone is recommending stock camera maybe I have something wrong with Achotjan ROM, but I don't think so, can someone help?

Have you tried Vignette? I think it's the best camera app right now. With 8 Mp 'Super-fine' mode you can get a 5 MB image - while with the stock or other apps (like ICS Camera or CameraZoom) you can only get 2 - 2.5 MB. I've compared a image taken with Vignette and other with stock camera, on maximum zoom in Album. Huge difference, the details in the first are amazing. You must try it. :cyclops:

[Q] Is there an AOSP rom available that has a good camera?

I had tried CM, Carbon, Slimbean and others. None have the clarity of images the stock rom camera can produce. The focus works, but the captured images are always blurry. I have done the camera mod, but I still get bad pictures. Any advice?

I have. I forgot to put that in the OP. Like I said, it kind of focuses, but then the picture is blurry anyway. I will edit this and post a sample.

This is the MotoX camera if you want try it.
That's weird. Camera works fine for me, but I do have a ridiculously steady hand so that might have something to do with it.

[Q] Camera Won't Focus After Cyano 10.2

Hi everyone,
I'm writing to understand why my camera is no longer working properly after changing my ROM from stock to CYANO 10.2,
basically the camera focus correctly when I tap the screen but as soon as I push the shutter button, it focus back (refocus) making a blurry photo. It doesn't have any sense because It was working smoothly before CYANO and now seems that doesn't want to make sharp photos.
Two photos attached, one with sto ROM and one with CYANO.
If anyone can help It would be great because I can't keep a ROM that doesn't allow me to shoot photos.
Thank you very much to everyone.

Maybe it's a hardware issue, but I'm not sure. Which roms have you tried? Did you make a clean flash of the roms?
My camera is working perfectly on RR 06/06 build. Didn't find any focus issue
https://i.imgur.com/rOzkKTW.jpg a photo I took a few minutes ago with Footej
I have the same problem, camera wont focus. I tried everything even change the bulid.prop but its imposible, i think its because camera api2. The problem only happends in 7.1.2 rom. Any help? Please
For me all have zoom problem
I am also facing focus issue on camera tried rr,dirty unicorn, lineage, mokee and footej,open cam,snapdragon cam. Even in photos it is not focusing. Hope someone can help.

I'm used the stock rom and today the cuoco92 (V92) rom.
The standard camera app has no issues, because of it's gallery i use cameramx some times. But mostly i use the opencamera app (some times with camer2api to take RAW files).
There is no bumping or miss-focus.
All these app's starts with an initial focusing (wich takes not a second under normal light conditions) and then are ready to shot.
Only the (with cameramx) installed OneShot feature, takes a picture at start.
May it's only depends on the rom or on hardware?

I'm running the 1306 version and had the 2705 before. To flash from eui s26 to RR I did all wipes, and from 2705 to 1306 I wiped system, cache and dalvik. Auto focus on video works perfect, it didn't work fine in eui and the photos aren't dark when there isn't much light as happens in eui. Bugs I have are that zoom doesn't work properly and panorama photos are too low quality. I prefer this bugs that the ones I had on eui.
I flashed pico gapps.

For me when I tried any Nougat ROMs this started. The lens motor would slam the lens home. A worryingly loud click.
Rolled back to 6, now it randomly impacts but much softer AND does this weird rolling shutter where it will change focus while capturing an image (so chunks are in focus, chunks out, lines are bendy). Really quite annoying.
I am facing the same issue. Moved from EUI to RR 7.1.2 and focus goes wild. Starts making these weird sounds as if circuit board inside is having sparks. Planning to go back to EUI.
I´ve got the same problem. No camera app seems to work. Running LineageOS 14.1 nightly 06/29/17.

An insane GCAM camera port will make your OP8P a camera BEAST

I'm totally speechless, today i swapped my S20 + for a OP8P, and TBH the camera is better but they where close.
I spent quite a bit of time, and as an avid GCAM user i tried MANY GCAM ports, all where pretty much crap, or not really better than stock, but, BUT! THAN, i found Parrot043 mod. I installed made my usual tweaks, and what i have saw is literally INSANE, this camera mod, literally destroy everything i have ever tried, and believe me i tried hundreds of them in my life.
1. If you have a previous GCAM, open the camera, hold and press on the icon on the homescreen, press app info, clear cache, and data.
2. Uninstall the app, reboot the phone. Than install Parrot 043 link > https://gofile.io/d/BpCWFx - also alternative host - https://easyupload.io/k6t42a
3. Go into the settings of the GCAM, turn on HDR enhanced, into advanced section, into HDR frames, and set 35, enable sabre, just under the HDR enhanced frames option.
4. Restart the camera app, go into darkness, take a photo with your camera app, and than take a photo with the GCAM mod, BE AMAZED.
P.S. Do not touch anything else, maybe turn on H265 for videos, and 4K for the back camera, increase video bitrate to 50mbps + and that's it.
P.P.S. ALWAYS make sure you have HDR enhanced on! it makes taking moving objects harder/blurry, but for low light its EPIC.
And here is camera comparasion of stock, night mode, and GCAM
Stock for scale,

1. What phone are you using?
2. Did you follow the steps suggested?
3. Do you have GCAM folder, with some configs installed?
4. Try with sabre off.

OnePlus 8 Pro IN2025 10.5.8 xXx rom currently.
Had gcam installed from xXx, force stopped, cleared data, uninstalled with reflashing rom to remove as system app, then rebooted. Installed the other. Tried clearing data, rebooting again, made the one you recommended a system priv app, but it keeps crashing the moment I open it. I can't even open settings, because it crashes on open.
I have tried modifying the permissions, tried a previous version, still crashes on start. At the time, no other gcam folder.

Its the sabre i think, you need to somehow turn it off, sometimes older GCAM ports mix with new and bugs happen, its either that, or its the sabre. In order to fix this, IF IT IS THE SABRE, you will need to wipe cache data from recovery or even FORMAT the phone, look at the photos, the upgrade is ENORMOUS, but it depends of how much you need it, i would suggest for someone with the same version as your model/firmware, test the mod to see if its the sabre or not, i had this issue on my Mi Note 10, all GCAM ports looked the same, no improvements, i tried everything only the format make the settings change post installation.
EDIT, it might be even the rom! i just saw you are on custom, sorry buddy.
Always keen to give GCAM a go (not sure why i have such a soft spot for it lol)...
Anyways, thanks for sharing this. Attached are a few samples of me jumping into a store room with the door slightly opened (it's pretty dim inside).

I can confirm it's related to the xXx rom. Uninstalled completely and the camera installed and worked fine, but when you reinstall the camera breaks.

This thread has me very interested.. @xXx - any chance you could glance at this at some point and see if it warrants inclusion in an xXx magisk rom future update? No pressure, just a thought. Some of the picture samples do indeed appear impressive! Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this, will look deeper into it (presently on Urnyx GCam port).... Just as an info:
This GCam and many more ports are on Celsozavedos excellent Gcam Port hub !

Urnyx is also great and stable, but sadly it lacks exposure in low light, (darker photos) and the noise reduction can kill details. Parrot can see where eyes cannot, very good.
OP camera is better in low light than this, and you can't use any of the other cameras, so until they solve that problem for the OP 8 pro I'll be sticking to the stock camera.
You lose more functionality than you gain in picture quality.

Hello. But this is good only for the night photo or is good in every situation? What is sabre option? We dont need to choose an xml file? Thanks and i like this tipe of treadh
mhhh i actually tried different google gcams but until now - and since the last update - the stock cam is the best one for me, just in case with a lot of ( direct sun)light (google gcam often blows the sky just into white) and also in dark environments the stock cam is better than the gcam. But i think, gcams and stock cam could be better with updates over time, the software for the sensor has a much higher optimization potential.

This GCAM is different. Havent tested it alot in daylight, but it should win even in daylight. No the stock camera is not even close to being better or equal to GCAM, you can see in the picture, or test by yourself.

No need for XML.
Sabre is a better HDR merge metod, it should offers better details especially in low light. Should be in every situation, test it, you got nothing to lose.

What do you mean better than this, are you claiming that i did something wrong with the stock pictures?
And this camera mod is mostly for low light/night mode, you don't need to use it solo and not having the option to use other cameras, you can use both, you use GCAM for low light, and other cameras as needed.
Try it with the settings suggested, and you will forget that the main camera exist in low light.

Why Do you hype this camera when a lot of people tell something different? I tried the mod already and as I said, the Stock cam is better (for me) also in lowlight. I tested it in a very dark room. Also for daylight shots Stock is a way better, just in the view of sharphness.
So, your hyped gcam mod isn't the mother of all cam apps...
Update: I tested again in another Environment and again, Stock is a lot better. Not sure what's wrong with your Stock cam. Are you running the latest Version? ??Seems there is anything wrong on your side. I for myself can't share your opinion.
