[Q] Camera app for working HDR (and maybe slow-mo?) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
Right now I am using CM11 on my Galaxy S4 (International model) and taking pictures with the built in camera app (stock camera). Though, there is some troubles with the stock camera and other camera-apps that I've tried (Google Camera for example). Whenever I try to use HDR it either makes the camera crash that ends up rebooting the system, or the end result is just grey pictures.
So my question is basicaly if there are any fixes for this? I read about this http://goo.gl/orWkC0 app that is supposed to fix it thanks to the supplied libs, but are there more fixes like this? Because obviously a normal app isn't enough. And btw, is there also a similar fix that enables slow-mo capture? Because what I can remember the S4 does support 120fps @720p in the stock TW-camera...
Thanks for all answers, looking forward for a fix!

HDR works fine for me, using the google camera app. But I am using a 5.0.1. GPE rom.
So.. It may be a rom problem?

[Q] Camera Will Not Work, Camcorder Does

I recently had issues with my phone and have had to root it and try various ROMS. I am currently on CyanogenMod 5. Okay, now to the problem: ever since my phone crashed and I've tried these mods, my camera's shutter won't work. The camera focuses as if it will take the picture, but then it freezes on the picture and doesn't load, nor does the picture appear in the gallery later. This is the same for the original camera app, the Camera Magic app and the Retro Camera apps I downloaded, and Google Goggles. However, the camcorder still works and records video just fine. How can I fix this so my camera works again?
Thank you,

No one has any sort of solution to this?
same here with CM 6 .... picture taken but it does not save to gallery, after some time force to close or wait. sometimes reboot works sometimes same issue.
I'm going to bump this. I have the exact same problem. ANY SOLUTIONS PLEASE?
Does my radio file need updated? HELP?
there is no fix, it is google not releasing the camera module, nor helping out the issue.

nexus4 camera flash problem

Hi,
my nexus4 is on stock 5.1.1 not rooted . When taking a pic with google camera using flash i get a black pic (the flash is working but just before the camera capture). but when using another camera software it works fine. any ideas!
I've had that happen too. Even with Camera Awesome, I get a black bar in my picture if I use a flash. I solved the Android camera app problem by uninstalling the updates. However, Camera Awesome still has the bar if I use a flash. Can't find a solution despite clearing cache, data, etc.
Uninstall google camera updates. Latest update has lot of reported bugs. Faced the same issue.

Ya I get the same issue.
Which version of camera is the best working? I see a lot in apk mirror site that are close to each other and I am not sure

nexus4 camera with flash takes black picture.

Stock latest lollipop camera works fine, after camera update takes black picture with flash. Uninstalling update fixed the issue.
Cm12.1 same issue with ROM default camera.
Chroma same issue with default camera.
EDIT: found using latest camera on kitkat is flawless. only when on lollipop and latest camera this issue occurs.
Uninstall google camera...use camera360 instead

dont need these stupid filter camera's. plus it doesn't have video mode.
what i want is a simple no blabla camera that do picture and video, or a fix to this flash issue that takes black picture.
iv got an older google camera and it works fine, but it auto updates so i disabled auto update for now.

Use this. It supports video recording too.
Camera360 is also great.
here what i found according to my need that is..
1 old version of Google camera
2 open camera (ui is not great specially settings)
3 better camera (paid but worth it)
Google camera and better camera takes same quality pictures, video is better on better camera on low light condition.
i was facing same issue , but i found a solution . you have to press anywhere on the screen first , 2nd time you press on capture button . it works for me
no that just add inconvenience, i found using older version of google camera is far better, just have to see i don't update it by mistake.

Marshmallow ROM with working camera

Hello, does the camera work in marshmallow? I just flashed one ROM but the camera does not work, it just crash......can someone please suggest me a mm ROM with working camera?
Thank you very much
I think Beanstalk's camera works.
It should work an almost all MM roms. If it's not working, it's most likely a permission issue. Go to app settings and enable all permissions for the camera app, after that the camera should work out of the box.
Install the Google camera app 2.5
The older camera 2.0 doesn't work at all in MM.
I use this camera app called (Camera M)

Click to expand...

Self comment: I did some tests and had initial problems with this camera, maybe due to dirty OS update. In particular the camera app just terminated whenever I touched the trigger. After opening the settings and changing some of them the camera worked well.
Well in the end i had to go back to KitKat.....used parrotmod, fstrim on marshmallow....nothing worked to fix the terrible lag that i was having, even after trying many mm roms the situation was terribly worse then KK.....now the tablet is pretty smooth again on Slimkat full f2fs + fstrim....best combo for speed

Blurry images with the stock camera app

Hi,
for a few weeks I got a problem with my exynos S7 edge running SuperMan-Rom 2.9.0 (Android 7).
When I use the stock camera app or the camera function of Instagram, WhatsApp etc. the images are very blurry (doesnt look like a problem with the focus). First I thought that the camera module is broken, but when I use the GCam App all works fine and the pictures are very good.
And surprisingly the front camera has the same problem....
Any ideas?
