Does the front facing camera work for anyone on EG22?

I am using the odex eg22 rom and any picture I take with the front facing camera does not load. Anyone else have this issue?

Not really because I flipped my phone and the back camera is now the front facing camera. So I don't have this problem.

I'm on the DeOdexed, rooted EG22 and I have a working front-facing camera.
I just tested mine with the same setup and it worked fine.

Now when you say it works, did you try taking a picture?

Yeah, sorry I wasn't more specific. The front-facing camera takes pictures just fine.
odexed eg22 just took a picture of myself and it works :O.
Thanks for the replies. Wonder why mine doesn't work...

It doesn't pop up in your gallery you mean?
Perhaps it's your camera app itself, have you installed the new update in the Development(I believe) forum?
Mine works. Pops up in the gallery and everything.
Mine works fine as well.
Odd, I restarted my phone and now it's working...

Random problems with camera

Hello!
Sometimes, when i switch to record movie and i touch the record button nothing is happening. When i switch back to photo, i can take pictures. After i restart my phone, everything works.
It is normal? Anybody noticed this?
Thank you

Video camera (auto)focus not available

Hey again XDA,
I know the nexus 4 is capable of focusing the camcorder for macro and other shots. However, for some reason, on cm 10.1.2 and .33 radio I don't get this option. Does anyone have any success on other radios/bootloaders or has dealt with this issue? Thanks very much.

You mean't Camera, Camcorder records video.
This could be either an issue with the camera application or it is missing from the application.

I meant video. S3 has a feature to actively focus on whatever is happening (automatic focus).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Well the Nexus 4 doesn't have such thing but you can attempt to get the S3 Camera but it may cause issues (gallery is joined to camera).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Oh OK. Does it have regular focus on the camcorder then? For me its just infinite focus, not controllable at all.

Unfortunately the user really has no control unless you record when the device is in the best focus.

Use lgcamera app. The camcorder recording gives you touch to focus control. I read someone say it reduces the quality but i didnt notice any frame drop or reduction in quality.

[Q] Camera

Just wondering if there is any way to get some of the camera options from the S3 onto this phone? I miss the option that allowed me to change the colors that showed in the picture. For example you could take a picture that showed only the blue or green objects or red and yellow. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Yeah they didnt add a lot of stuff like macro amd the colors like u said

This phone doesn't really need a dedicated macro mode because it can focus on really close objects with its default settings.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I continuously have to tap the screen to get it to zoom on an object when close.

If you want better camera pics try xdabbebs or jishnus camera which both improve stock camera a lot

Mine is having the same issues. See my thread. I am starting to think my camera is not defective but rather the camera is garbage compared to the s4.

I tried xdabbebs when my phone was rooted and for some reason after installing that it's sent me in to boot loop lol

Wow those are really ****ty pics. My G2 takes excellent photos.
Maybe your unit is a dud or any scratches on the glass cover?
Here is a blind camera test, G2 (Uses Sony's Exmor sensor) scored better than GS4

I've emailed Lg they ask for some sample photos bet they say they look ok lol
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
lol... btw just out of curiosity, which camera app do you use? stock or aftermarket?
i'm asking you this because i get better images when i use either xdabbeb modded camera app (you can find it here under developer's area subforums) or DSLR Camera Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera) which gives me even more settings to fiddle with...
you can also try some other camera apps like
Camera FV-5
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite
or MX camera...
Stock I don't have it uprooted fv-j5 just bought it
