[Q] camera not working after custom roms

Hi!
i've played so far with three custom roms: PRIMEE_p9_davids_mod, Virtuous_Thrive_v.1.0.1 and Lightspeed_1.0.1. each has its merits, but my biggest problem (so far) is that the camera app does not work properly with any of the non-acer based roms: i get a black screen with the back facing camera. the front camera works (so i can only take pictures of myself!). Lightspeed (based on stock acer) doesn't have this problem.
anybody else seen this? any suggestions?
thanks a lot

Same on HoneyVillian
i just put this ROM on my acer and now cannot take videos with the back camera. Front works fine like you said. Also it keeps saving video files to my SD when i am clearly not taking any if i try to open them nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have black camera screen too ,, on rooted stock 3.2, it takes pics but i get no preview,, and cant focus..

It's all fun and games until someone loses a camera!

I have the same problem. My camera just dont want to focus. Sometimes it starts working again after 30 times closing and opening the camera app. Wiping data, installing other roms; it all doesnt help. I installed an app: lgcamera, and with this I managed to sometimes make sharp pictures. When it works in this app, my standard app works too. But its only temporary.
Hardware is working probably because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt....
Anyhelp?

I have this problem, too. I believe it is a hardware problem. I disassembled my MB526 to access the camera and found that I can temporarily solve the problem.
It seems like a moving part of a camera with front lens in it was stuck in one position. I slightly moved it by a screwdriver, turned the phone on again and found autofocus working. Sometimes I hear high-frequency sound while camera app initializes a camera.
Before that camera didn't work for more than 3 months. It works from time to time now, so I hope to solve the problem by mounting a new camera module. Tha question is, where can I buy it? What is the part number of this piece?

Weird Mic issues.

A while ago I installed cynogenmod 13 (I believe thats what it was) , tried to take a video and the video would only record half the time (would act like it was taking the video but it was actually a static image with the worst sounding audio) and the audio was horrendous. Wife next to me was on stock rom, focus wasnt as good but audio came thru perfect. I went back to stock rom and everything was back to normal.
Months later I am at the range and I tried to take a slow motion video, video came thru with audio.
I called someone right after and no one could hear me. Tried to use voice to text and voice recorder no one could hear me.
I figured being that close to rifles that i blew the microphone. Well i just used headphones with built in mics for a while to I got a new phone.
Well I went on a trip and used the axon 7 for pics and i took a video. I was showing some one the video when i noticed It was playing audio.
I figured out the audio only works when recording video.
Unlocked bootloader, was on stock. Things i tried was using drakon full stock rom and boot loader flashing everything back to full stock, upgrading to custom roms, just upgraded to new modem and bootloader for 7.1.1 . current stock rom rooted with super su and twrp recovery. a2017U.
I tried everything i read about disabling ok google. reseting to defualt. Any Ideas?

Video recording not working on h990ds Stock Rom with Magisk

Has anyone had issues with video recording?
I had noticed before that my V20's default camera wasn't recording correctly (audio can be heard, but video has no motion). I thought it was because it was set to 4k recording and that for some reason that didn't work correctly. Did not paid much attention to the issue till yesterday.
I recall having recorded some videos other times without problem. But yesterday, there was no way I could rec a video.
Tried all available resolutions (UHD, FHD 60, FHD, HD) and disabled steady rec & focus, basically enabled/disabled all video recording options. But no motion at all. In manual mode, when set to 1 or 2 fps. I have some movement (but obviously cannot record a normal video at all).
I tried Open Camera, but it's the same, cannot record any video (With Camera 2 Api on or off)
The only app I could get to record a video was Footej Camera (but cannot record to 60 fps, so it's like my videocamera is crippled or something)
I got the 10F firmware. (specifically H990ds10f_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_0622.kdz)
Has someone an advice or something I can do? I already tried disabling/enabling and clearing data of the camera app, but no luck.
Thnaks in advance
PS. Yesterday when I first had the issue in the morning, I rebooted the phone and recording worked again for a while.
But last night, tried the same and it didn't worked at all. Today I did the same, nothing.
Another update: Downloaded Google Camera port for Snapdragon 820, and the problem persists. I've noticed that if I force stop/clear data of the camera app, and reboot. It records video after rebooting. But tried again like 5 minutes later and it didn't record anything again.
I was messing with Titanium Backup and the camera app, and I was forced to factory reset my h990ds. Problem still persists. Could it have something to do with @emdroidle custom kernel?
Does someone has a hint or something?
UPDATE: Tried @Leicxan 's modded werewolf kernel 2.0 (no rctd) and haven't had issues with video recording or camera focus.

even i have that problem,most probably kernal is making some issue
i rooted my v20 with dirtysanta and installed some other kernal given in the post,so may be kernal is creating some issue
please please please somebody help

It is a known issue, but depending on your camera sensor(lg are manufacturing V20 with different sensors) you can make it work.
Head over to the root thread for more info.

Try using Footej Camera from the play store & you should be fine...

Possible solution?

I was reffered to this kernel by emdroidle https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73294716&postcount=391
I flashed the no rctd kernel based on werewolf 2.0 by leicxan. I no longer have issues with video recording, neither with autofocus (at least at this point). I have been running this kernel for a week now and i haven't had issues.
Hope it helps you

I think this is not a "real" solution, just an avoidance of the problem. But I managed to get my cam working thanks to emdroidle and leicxan.

weird camera issue with all custom roms

Hi everyone, this is to request to fix a weird issue. I have flashed following roms for my G4 plus(Xt1643) : Invicta Os, RR, Pure nexus, Hexagon os. There are various versions of these roms available , I have tried them all and many a time their new updates.
I always make a clean fresh install just to be sure. The thing is whatever rom i flash I have a weird issue, that of camera. Whenever I use camera, the device gets very heat up, and while using video recording it lags like hell. It fells like it has skipped a million frames.
And many a times device gets shut down while it got heat up. I have tried many camera apps with these roms like snap camera, moto camera, motorola camera, google camera, htc camera, cameringo, footej camera.
Only footej and cameringo seem to work, but sometime they also show the same issue. And auto focus in cameringo doesn't work in video recording mode, but works in footej.
The thing which surprise me the most is everything works fine in STOCK rom!! Otherwise I would have thought it as a hardware issue. I have used enough stock rom and I flash custom roms sometimes just in hope that this time the issue will get resolved, but no luck.
I don't want to use stock rom anymore. Please suggest me a custom rom which doesn't cause this issue; if anyone else with this issue got any fix PLEASE HELP.
