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.

try camera in stock ROM .. if it works... problem is in ROM.... then factory reset your phone and test again..if still didn't work try different kernel .. ask from OP thread of CM 10.2

Hi, after upgrade to Oreo I have strange problems with sound and videos. Don't know for what reson the sound stops suddenly and the video works frame by frame. It does not matter if it's video from gallery or YT or music from spootify or built-in player. After reboot everything is ok but no one knows when it will happen again.
EDIT: ok I know when this start to happend. After using of @cstark27 google phone app ;/ Anyone can confirm that?
look for an apps that eats CPU or has memory leaks.
however you might put it... your installed apps are to blame
I can confirm that problem. It also happens with other gcam mods. I guess for now using the stock camera app seems to be the only solution :/
EDIT: It only seems to happen when using HDR or HDR+. During the HDR post processing (which is inidicated through that little loading animation in the gallery app) music suddenly stops playing.
EDIT 2: I think i found a solution. As odd as it may sound, but enabling camera.raisr in the developer settings stops the camera from breaking music and video playback.

Mhmm very strange. I did reinstall the app tough. Maybe the combination of reinstalling, enabling camera.raisr and clearing the apps cache afterwards fixed it
Unfortunetly still the same...Have no idea whay is wrong.
Does enabling the camera.use_photos option on both apps, and force closing/rebooting solve it?
So it seems that to fix the issue, one need to do this in that order :
• Clear Data from both apps
• Reboot (might not be needed but sound safer)
• Go back under Developper settings of both apps and uncheck camera.raisr and check camera.use_photos
Seems to be stable after this, even after subsequent phone reboots
Will add this to this forum sticky
Thanks cstark ! Will keep you posted if the reboots come back.

Hey guys so i just updated the mi 8 lite to pie 9.0. I just noticed that there's a 10 second delay in the video camera. Photo mode works perfectly. I even tried clearing the data and cache and still the same. I downloaded open camera and that works fine. Anyone having this problem?
I have the same problem too

Did you figure it out yet? It's driving me crazy lol
So changing the save location from the SD card to internal seems to fix the problem if anyone is having delays with the video recording. Hope they make a fix for this as this only occurred after the pie update
I have a same/similar problem..
after update take photo as usually but the photo appear after a few seconds to the gallery, I have the problem only weith styock camera, if i use Open camera app is fine.
video recording the same....10 seconds delay before start....., open camera starts immediately fine.....
I have tried changing to internal memory/SD, resetting the camera, resetting google photos but nothing....
any suggestion??
many thanks

*******Guys just to let you know that after updating to the latest update (10.3.1) the problem is now solved *******
After miui 11 update stock cam crashing .slowly hangs on clicking a pic and crash instantly while changing AI mode and works fine with video mods
Did you fix it by chance? Mine complains about the camera not being able to connect and in a YouTube video some guy said that it's a kernel problem. Maybe that helps?
I tried a couple of Gcam ports and found that while I could take photos fine, the screen is blank when I attempt to record videos.
Is there a port that works correctly?
On a side note, how does one turn off beautification in the stock camera app?
Edit: PX8.1 by Urnyx05 seems to work.
tigr: trCamera_Xmas_Release.apk

video audio not working
You must restart the phone after installation. Then the sound works.
I found and set the functional camera to select the lens.
Gcam7.3.018_Greatness.Build2.3.apk (camera)
main[1].xml (my config file)
1) Install the camera. Uninstall the previous GCAM if you cannot install.
2) Start the camera and go to the settings. Config>Save>"a" (SAVE).
3) File main[1].xml copy to /sdcard/gcam/Configs7/
4) Start the camera, double-click this place (photo below) select main file>RESTORE
You get the settings, Wide, Main, Macro lens.
Video works only in normal mode. Slow doesn't work.
EDIT: Only the video recording with sound does not work here due to a current kernel custom rom bug.

Awesome, just got this on mine and can confirm it works on nezuko rom, if anyone is curious. Thanks man.
If you have the latest version of Vendor from Miui, slow video will work.
So everything will work in this GCAM!
also works on dotOS 5.0.1 with microG (no Google Play Services & Play Store).
The problem with video recording must be caused by the phone's sleep mode.
Maybe it turns off some codec that takes care of merging image and audio.
Certainly not a problem during the recording process.
The problem definitely arises at the moment of merging the two recorded tracks.
Some cameras will shut down at this point, other cameras save the video with the tracks behind (only the sound is played and only after that the image is played), other cameras save only the image itself.

This could be it. But, I am still hoping this is fixed in next update. I record at least once a month or two so this is going be annoying even for me soon enough.

Do you know which config file to use for all 3 lenses (wide/main/macro)?
No idea but seems to work with all 3 cameras out the box, the 1x, 1.4x, 1.8x options switch between the lenses. Not sure how to make config files but trying to do things like record time lapse videos on the 1.8x option will crash the app.

Can I get a gcam mod with astrophotography working for realme 3.
I tried many gcam mods but in none of them astrophotography is working. Realme 3 is having mediatek Helio p60.

How is astrophotography not working? For me it automatically turns on under night camera when the conditions are right.

Unfortunately, we didn't get anywhere. Nothing changes with this camera. Still, the video only works after restarting the phone, after a while the audio recording doesn't work.
Before anyone reports a working Gcam again, please verify that the camera can still record video and audio after using the phone for a while.
