Nexus 7 photo editor crashes - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I have a 2012 model which is running the latest Android update (4.4.2).
I've noticed that whenever I import a photo from my Canon S95 camera and try to edit using the native photo editing s/w, upon saving the gallery crashes and the original photo is lost. I've tried to show this in the attached screen shots.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I think it's a Kitkat problem as I've tested on my parent's Nexus 10 with the same results.
It does seem to be only files that are imported from the camera that are affected, others have edited and saved ok.
Thanks for any help..

broken image icon appearing while taking pictures

i am unable to read images from my samsung galaxy i9000(eclair 2.1),when ever i click pictures broken image icon appears in gallery but videos are working fine please help me out of this mess
I have the exact same problem with a couple of days old Galaxy S GT-I9000 ECLAIR. Did a factory reset but it did not help. Going to take it back.
In case someone is interested in what kind of files are produced by the camera, you can find a sample here:

Cannot open it with anything. Interesting...

Google Edition stock Camera Issues ... :(

Hi there,
I have been experiencing some issues on Google Edition 4.2.2 camera app.
I tried 4.3 camera apk and issues are still there...
When I take a picture directly from Whatsapp a preview picture with the "Yes" and "Cancel" marks is shown. The thing is that the preview picture does not match the taken picture!!! It is slightly different, there is a delay between pictures.
Then I say...."Oh, ok, that picture is good, attach it" and then whatsapp sends a different picture
I thought that it was a Whatsapp issue...but the thing is that when I take a picture directly from Camera apk, a little "preview" of the picture is shown on upper right corner. And that preview is NOT the taken picture.
Anybody else ?
Nobody else experiencing this?
Please can anybody take a photo from Whatsapp app and then send it to somebody? And please pay attention if preview image is the same that sent image.
Thanks!!
Same problem here, but in stock rom 4.2.2
When I take a picture (when i tried it was without flash, maybe the problem is there because the exposure time or something) i get a preview that doesn't match the actual picture stored in the gallery, it's like the real capture is being taken after the preview. It's very noticeable when the target is moving...
Anyone?

Low Quality Screenshots

I noticed that when I take a screenshot, the quality isn't that great. Text is a bit blurry.
I'm rooted but haven't changed or altered anything else. Anyone have an idea for a fix? Can't find anything in settings for it.
Still an amazing phone though! Thanks in advance for any helps!
Sent from my T-mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Edit: Maybe it's more of a sharing issue. I shared from gallery to Instagram and it was blurry, but then I shared to Dropbox and opened on my PC and it was fine.
Instagram has terrible compression on android. They really destroy any image quality.
This is a known issue and (most likley) will not be fixed.

All OP5 camera photos are green after wipe and root

So I posted this over on Reddit, but then realised that here is probably a better place for more tech users.
I needed to root my OP5 and went through the process.
Now after I've got everything up and running, all my apps installed, and Backups restored - I've noticed something very bad and annoying.
If I use the stock app to take a photo it will take the picture and show it in the gallery preview. But as soon as I try to view that photo using the gallery preview shortcut, or the gallery app, the photo instantly turns completely green.
All other apps take photos fine.
Using stock app Photos work on:
Depth Mode
Normal Mode with HDR Active
Photos are fully green with:
HDR Off
HDR Auto
HQ Mode
Anyone else experienced this?
I really dont want to have to wipe again because it takes over an hour to set up all my accounts and 2 factor auth stuffs...
Just after I wrote this someone on reddit said they had something similar with OP3 - They had to re-flash because of a corrupted build.prop. I rooted to change a bunch of stuff, including editing the build.prop.
I did a little digging and found that if you change the permissions of build.prop then it works.
Changed them to:
Owner - read, write, execute
Group - read
Other - read
Will leave this thread as a reference to others in case anyone else comes across this issue.

Gcam recomendations for V35

Are any v35 users using a gcam mod? If so, can you share which one and your experiences?
Well for 5-th branch hands down the best one is GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18c1.apk and can be found here
Regarding 6-th latest Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800 by Arnova works flawlessly with this XML config.
On a project fi v35, the GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18c1.apk was too laggy for me. I ran 01.MGC_6.1.021_G7_test_v1.apk and was able to snap pictures with front and rear, but the 02.MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_04.02.19.12.54.apk crashed on launch.
Will post a logcat once i can.
Have you properly applied the XML setting (step 8) after installing MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_04.02.19.12.54.apk?
Lag in viewfinder is cause by overloaded buffer in this version which is easily fixable either by applying XML as shown or by enabling the Buffer Fix switch in app Settings.
Nope, after installing the 02 apk, it crashes on launch so I don't get the chance. Tweaked settings w/ the other one and got it working at least, thanks!
You are welcome!
N.B.: If you want to have it working you need to follow the guide up to the letter, so whenever you get bored and want to try again just uninstall the current GCAM, restart your phone and start again.
Do not forgot to take again 2 pictures after installing 1st apk and to properly import the XML settings after installing the 2nd apk and starting it for the first time.

Same problem, I can't do step 8 because the camera crashes when trying to open.
I have LG V30+ H930DS, and I use this two Gcams.
One is 90% wokring (maybe panorama doesnt work) but all other is perfect (wide, noraml, portrait front/back, HDR+, SlowMotion) and its fast. (To chagne between lenses, just hold switch button, it will redirect to settings, after you close settings lense will be changed.
The other one I use only for NightSight. This camera has problem with selfies, they have green tint. It also have Wide/Normal switch, ( just chage between selfie and back camera, and each time ju go back to main camera it will be diferent lense)
I'm satisfied with this phone, for me everything is perfect, but i found LG V35 for good price and I would like to konw if there is somebody with V35 who will try this two Gcams, and tell me does they work properly, or if there is some others which works good, because i wouldn't change V30 for v35 if I can't have good working Gcam.

Thank you for the link. I downloaded, installed and restored the supplied config file for my V35.
Regarding Night Sight, is there a setting to change to fix the choppy motion when moving around the viewfinder?
No way for now on improving Night Sight viewfinder lag.

where is step 8 described? I can find no reference on how to apply this xml config.
Step 8 originates from really old installation guide.
Now you need only to install the camera apk and import the xml settings file.
Where/how to extract the xml file and how to import it afterwards you can check here

Thanks. I must have been downloading wrong version, since double clicking didn't work. Tried again this morning and it works now.
After applying the xml fix to v6.1 camera, it works, but I wouldn't call it "good". It's super annoyingly slow to make pictures. 5.2 also lags substantially, and won't load xml settings. So far, lg camera is hands down better
so... MGC_6.2.030_MI9SE_V4_plus2.apk has been the only version for me that has worked without issue...problem is pictures are not clear. although the viewfinder is fixed with the buffer fix toggle, when taking photos its not quick therefore the pictures blur slightly.
do you all encounter the same and if not which version and configuration has given you a fast shutter?
Here is what I posted on arnova's thread with the suggestion of another member.

thanks...i Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk works for my V35 as it seems BF means it has the buffer fix built in. shame it doesn't allow for zero shutter lag as for phones that don't need a buffer fix. as the OEM camera can take photos super fast.
here are my settings for my LG V35 on Pie on Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk
back camera: Pixel 3 XL
front camera: Nexus 6P
AWBGains Mod: OFF, was causing GREEN photos with it on
RAW FORMAT: RAW_SENSOR
Image Format: JPEG (if i set YUV_420_488 GCam crashes)
P3 wide-color, Wide Color gamut
playing around with Custom Lib Repo by cstark and with Eszdman v2.6 beta 2
image quality is awesome, and no blur upon shutter snap as with other GCams! Thanks @arnova!

Hey everyone, I'm currently exploring some gcam options and I found that the latest Arnova Gcam works great with no lag (it does take a bit longer to capture a photo than it does on my sd820 device) but sadly it doesn't offer wide camera mode.
Now, there is the cstark camera and wide angle mode actually does work, but using the camera is impossible because the preview (you know, the thing you see on your screen before you take a picture) changes once every 5 seconds or something. I tried importing some xmls and that sped it up just a bit but not by much.
Is there some working version that was tested for v35? My v35 is Korean model

I get terrible stutter on the night site with this 6-th and the config file. Any fixes?
You need to be on Pie and you can use Gcam_6.2.030 with working Night Sight without lag.
