Hi guys,
I've been searching for a fully stable flashable .zip for the JB 4.2 camera&gallery app with Photosphere. I have tried "4CamNex2.zip" & "4.2Camera_t04.zip" apps. The latter with slightly improved stability, (photosphere, panorama etc. working) however main issue/bug is: in standard photo taking mode, if you tap the screen to focus (or pre focus) and then take the picture, camera and gallery crash - Quite frustrating.
I've wiped cache&dalvik and re-flashed zip etc. (this helped as the first time I flashed the zip, photosphere was not working - solved by clearning cache & re-flashing)
Running:
Liquidsmooth v2.1 - 4.2.2
Siyah kernel 1.9.1
Thanks for any input!
Questions Welcomed also
UPDATE:
The crashing only occurs when the flash comes on. Forcing flash off or when there is enough ambient light you can pre-focus on a spot then take the pic.
I think currently there is no camera stable for 4.2.
I'm very interested in this as well (who wouldn't be?). I wonder if anyone is even working on it, and where we could perhaps track the progress. I don't see anything in the log tracker but I could have missed it.

when Cm10.1 nightly builds reach stable stage youll be able to use this camera with photosphere normally, now its just expérimental..
Sent from my Supercharged V12 Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk
they never will. CM said it will be stable only if Samsung release the sources, which will not happen
how to i delete this...
you have a completely different device
Dont know why but jb+ camera works perfect on aosp roms. No touch to focus issues, front camera working perfect.Only persisting issue is that sometimes sound on recorded videos is very low. After hundreds of hours testing and trying to reproduce the bug i thing it is related to notifications or sound volume adjusting. For example:when i recieve some notification immediately after booting my phone and then i want to grab some video-recorded sound is too low..... Can someone tell me if its kernel, rom or what? Why touch to focus works perfectly on jb+ camera without samsung exynos4 sources but this bug is still present. I just cant sleep.......

Sorry, wasn't paying attention.
Can anyone provide a download link to the standard jellybean (4.2.+) camera apk/zip?
I did find this camera worked quite well (stock samsung one that is), with the exception of no photosphere (which is only really usefully for showing off to be honest)
About last April, my camera started doing blurry photos because of the shakiness problem. I was sure that something inside was broken, but didn't want the hassle of the exchanging process.
I read the changelog of stock B32 and noticed fixes for the camera. So wiped by custom rom and went back to stock to try it. To my surprise, the camera stopped with the shakiness and started taking good pictures. I tried stock for awhile to make sure that it wasn't just coincidence. I intentionally did intensive processes to let the phone get hot and started the camera to see if it was still working; I did this a bunch of times without problems, including starting the camera in another app (whatsapp). I noticed that the focus sound (the audible notification the phone makes when you touch the screen to focus) and the mechanical clicking noise from the OIS were no longer there.
The problem is that I love my custom setup and I dont like the look of stock. I went back to my regular setup, and to my surprise again, the camera remained fixed. When I switched from stock to my custom setup, I just flashed the following in this order:
1) A2017X B15 Universal Bootloader (thanks Unjustified Dev)
2) AOSP Extended v4.6 (thanks NFound)
3) Radioactive kernel v2.4 (thanks OrdenKrieger)
4) GAPPS micro
5) B32 Camera (thanks lian00)
6) Magisk v14
7) B32 bootstack (thanks DrakenFX)
Everything but slow motion video seems to be working on the Stock B32 camera app in AospEx. I followed the comments from the post below to get the camera working:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/themes/zte-camera-flashable-zip-t3553638/page26
I'm still testing, but everything looks good so far after a week. if you have the shakiness try it before sending it for repairs, it might work for you too. Also, I have the benefit of not having the annoying focusing sounds.
Note: I have the A2017U since October 2016.
How to fix annoying crashing of Google camera in oreo ROMs -> used two ROMs
->Pixel experience 8.1
->NitrogenOS
Build - BSGs latest build of 14-1-2018 (also happens on older other versions by aronova and BSG)
Viewfinder lags and instantly crashes on when clicking a photo. Then it keeps on crashing for 2-3 times.
After that it becomes stable for sometime when used in one go. It doesn't happen in low light conditions
No such crashing issue was witnessed by me on nougat
Also how Can I get slo-mo on my MIDO
Moto camera used to give me nice slo mo videos on Nougat Paranoid
But it doesn't seem to work on Oreo
And the third thing . How to get MIUI camera on an oreo custom ROM.

You probably have an OmniVision sensor. Old drivers used in custom ROMs are very buggy in Oreo. That’s about to change soon.
For now, look here.

Thanks man !! I'll check it out soon and report back to you .

Your version seems quite stable to me
But photos are not clicking with flash on.
I'm on eui 5.9.030s by CBG. Previously I was on eui 6 nougat but due to camera focus and volte issue I reverted back to 30s. But still my camera doesn't focus in this rom. I've wiped, flashed OTA, etc. But nothing works. Please help me.
I faced the same problem, I lose the focus in the camera. I just back to CN-28s-V12-Stable. It was solved, he provides a kernel to solve the camera issue. PM if you have any Q.

If u ask into telegram groups u can check if in another android version is possible to install a specific fix
Heyyo, i've seen from others where focus constantly vibrates it is definitely a hardware issue. I have seen users can sometimes temporarily fix it by doing a chopping motion with the phone when it attempts to autofocus...
Otherwise? Definitely, you will need to replace the camera module for a permanent fix.
Idk if it's hardware problem but camera is wierd. It focuses nearby objects like from 15-20cm distance. But distance photos are blur. But if I cover the camera with my hand for a sec then it focuses long distance too until it auto focuses (which blur the image again).
So I'm really tearing my hair out over this.
A short while ago, Gcam stopped working, and the flashlight or torch option stopped working. Other people have reported this issue, with various fixes suggested. One was to flash the latest vendor firmware, which I did. Didn't work. Another one was to flash a Gcam fix by PixeL from the BSG Gcam port thread. Didn't work. I thought maybe it was an issue with Pixel Experience, so I flashed LOS. Now the camera worked, but only in certain modes and the flashlight/torch icon was still grayed out. Third party flashlight/torch apps still said it couldn't access the flashlight. I've even now tried a full, complete wipe of *everything* including internal storage and installed the latest MIUI beta and vendor from scratch. Nothing. Flashlight grayed out and camera only works in certain modes (if I go to slow-motion, for instance, it crashes and loses access to the camera).
This is so frustrating. Please, anyone, help. There are other people who have had this same issue, but all of them were able to find a way to fix it through flashing those fixes or whatever else. It's not working for me and it's making my experience with the phone really frustrating.
I Have been Facing Same Issue Since The Last Global Stable update
It Happens every once in a While But some reboots fixes the problem but since yesterday I Am not able to use the primary 12mp camera . I did reboot my device many time to get it working but nothing works now..... Did You Get Your Camera Working ?? Neither slow motion mode working nor portrait.... Slow motion mode instantly crashes the camera app and portrait mode gives the error of can't connect to camera.... If your Camera is working now please suggest the way to fix it it's really frustrating

For once download the fastboot rom of miui and flash it. FASTBOOT ROM. Can be both stable or beta but must be fastboot. Do not use twrp etc to flash.
USE MIFLASH TO FLASH THE FASTBOOT ROM.
Just use fastboot rom. If it still doesn't work, then it's probably a hardware issue.

Thanks a lot for the tips I didn't had camera or flash no more, seems to get better now.
Anyway I'm so disappointed from this device...
I am facing the same problem, dii those reboots but it didn't work, help me wit it
me too..how to solved?
I have similar problem with my Pixel Experience Plus ROM Android 11 on Zenfone Max Pro M2 X01BDA. The flashlight button is greyed out and says "camera in use"
No camera app came with the ROM so I installed GCam specified for X01BDA but anytime I open the app it says camera in use by another app
This problem is common with other ROMS I installed too ; Evolution X, Lineage OS 18.1
HELP!!
I'm so frustrated

Actually it's not a software related issue ....in my case i got the camera sensor replaced by the service center under warranty which fixed my problem since then it's working fine... it's a hardware related issue ...so if you're camera switched to secondary camera and crashes on slow motion and portrait mode and also greyed out flash then none of the flashing tricks will work.
Have a Nice Day
