Camera doesn't work on Custom roms - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My camera just shows a black viewfinder on all custom roms. Does anyone know what's broken?
I tried Chroma, Cataclysm - both have the same issue. 3rd party cameras don't work either...

Does it work fine on Stock firmware?. If not, it could be a hardware issue.

Most likely you're running a 6.0 kernel on 6.01 system ROM (or vice versa). That is known to cause this camera issue.

Will check on the kernel. Yes, it works on stock....just confirmed that now!
What kernel would you guys recommend for 6.0.1?

I had a problem with using an older boot image with 6.0.1. Switch from traditional to systemless root (patches boot image on the fly) and camera works fine.

Running Franco's kernel for great battery life, working well so far.

I flashed Elemental X 1.00 for the 6P and it's fixed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...x-n6p-t3240571
I'd prefer to be on stock kernel but I'm not at home and don't have to A -> C USB cable to mess around with reflashing images through ADB. Hopefully this helps somebody.

[ZIP]OOS 2.2.0 Camera patch for low light recording

Hello
I got tired waiting for an official fix, so I came up with this workaround.
twrp-flashable_OPX2.2.0_camera_patch.zip - This zip with apply the OPX front camera configuration.
twrp-flashable_OPX_camera_patch_imx214.zip - This zip will apply the OPO rear camera configuration
You'll be able to record 1080p at night without worrying about the fps drop issue.
I am not responsible for any damage on your device when applying this patch.
EDIT: Added a revert flashable zip.
EDIT2: Added zip file with imx214 libchromatix_default_video.so
Sweet. Thanks
Swapped my Recent and Back buttons.
Edit:
A couple reboots might've fixed this, but I also messed with Gravity Box a bit as well. There's two options to fixing that problem, potentially.

This patch shouldn't mess with buttons layout. You might had a pending operation that took effect on reboot when you flashed this zip.
try hydrogen os.
does your phone need to be rooted or will it work fine with stock?
Does this patch works also with custom roms like cm13?
Sorry. This patch is for default camera only? Or its for any camera apps running on oss 2.20?
It works perfect now, thank you so much for this mod. Where did this libs came from?
Shame on One Plus btw.

I should work if the custom rom uses the same BLObs as Oxygen OS.
It means that, for now, it works on cm12.1 and cm13

I've tested other s5k3m2 binaries from other devices but they all miss some needed instructions.
This is the front camera binary
tested the imx214 file but it pushes iso way too high.

Camera is good. What do you mean by guide to flash? Flash like any other custom ROM. If you don't know that head over to general section and there is already a thread. Sultan's camera HAL works as well.

Fluid and fantastic ROM, but the only problem that i'm facing is poor RAM management :/
Almost max 4 apps in background, after 5 minutes the fourth will refresh ((
Hate this ! but i stay with this for now !
And another thing, no ambient display sadly!
Swedish Bank apk (SEB) will not install in Paranoid Rom latest version. I'm missing some security setting before I install?
The rom is great running along with open gapps micro.. One problem / bug is HDR in camera.. Normal mode shoots fine but in HDR mode camera force closes all the time..
Anyone else having this issue?
Full gapps gives insufficient storage. Does the OnePlus X have a small /system?
EDIT: Now using banks gapps, but I'm having problem changing the data from 4G to 3G (as android defaults to 3G). Everytime I click on Mobile Networks it shows 'Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped). Where do I report this?

Yep :/ but i never use it, so i don't care at the moment!
Thanks for the information @dani.galla!
So I tried PA this morning (replacing my setup with SultanCM13 5/6/2016 version), and here is my impression so far:
- My setup: BANKS Gapps from Dirty Unicorns download page (as recommended by PA team itself on their G+, DO NOT use OpenGapps if you want to have a smooth start) + SuperSU v.2.74 BETA + Sultan Camera HAL
- Very stable but battery is a bit more drained fast compared to Sultan, but it still acceptable
- Toggle to disable SIM 2 (finally!!)
- LTE signal very stable, THE SAME with what I've got with OOS 2.2.1 and then I noticed the BASEBAND version become exactly the same with OOS 2.2.1. Very nice to have a stable signal again. Another custom ROM always gave me a fluctuating LTE signal.
- Performance wise, so far no problem, not even a single FC. Really happy with this!
- I think this is what OOS Marshmallow version will look alike since the team behind it is the same. LoL
- It really feels like a stock ROM other than custom ROM with tons of unusable customization options, it's nice to finally have this feeling again
- Camera performance is very bad in low light conditions
- HDR mode FC (but I never use this, so I don't really care)
Very recommended for those looking for a ROM that they can use for normal daily use and everything just works as intended. Perhaps it's not suitable for those who looking for a ROM with tons of customization options.
can't wait, i'm downloading

Cm14.1 video recording works fine, what to do see below (Redmi note 3 pro)

There is no big thing to do with the video recording of cm14.1 .
The solution Is simple and clear. Let just change the camera app . .
1) download Google camera for noughat
2) install it
Download:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...amera-4-2-024-137460634-android-apk-download/
This will replace the default cm camera to google camera and that's it
, note :
at first boot it won't work just crash and don't blame me. Just reboot phone twice and say the difference. :good:

The solution is not that simple, I am using Google camera on Cm14.1, it doesn't always work as expected. A bit better than CM camera? Perhaps!

I know agni, I use it frequently. Even the agni dev still mentioned for the latest kernel that the problem is actually from rom side, some camera hw variants may be lucky that's working, some won't. In may cases, are different from rom to rom, but in most roms, cam flashes have the problems. And, I may be a bit lucky that my hw variants is old one, the problems are less than others.

Any good Gcam for stock Rom?

Currently im in stock ROM rooted but i can't find any gcam that works good with my phone. The version i have is the fu24 one which works but not as it should for the focus side.
Suggest me a version down below for the stock ROM.
Thanks
I don't think the focus on any GCam works on the stock ROM after a update. There's a kind of fix where you need to set the image aspect ratio to 16:9 for it to work. You lose a few pixels but hey, at least the camera finally works.
@Zentom In customs roms 9.0, will it work normally?

so switching to 16:9 ratio, Gcam wont have Autofocus issues in stock pie Roms?
Also is trick is for gcam v5 or v6 or both?

Correct. I'm using my GCam on 16:9 on my Stock, no modification Pie ROM for a while now and have absolutely no issues. And yes, this fix works for all the GCam versions. I have both v5 and v6 and autofocus works on both.

Sure! I can't upload over here because of the file size I think but I'll give links.
I use this one for Night Sight and for RAW (the front camera doesn't work in it): https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_V1.apk
I rarely use this one for HDR+ with a longer shutter, and the front camera works too: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V1.apk
This is the best one I have used so far. If you drop back cam to 9MP the autofocus issue goes away. I'm using stock androidone pie on MiA1 GCam_6.2.024_N7P_test1.apk

It's a bit more complicated than that but its not hard to be honest . This is the guide i followed to flash my mi a1 https://telegra.ph/Installation-Guide-For-Mi-A1-Pixel-Experience-03-26 . Take a backup of everything before flashing the ROM if something goes wrong also watch a couple videos before trying it . Good Luck
