Hey everyone,
For some reason editing build.prop seems to render the camera non functional. What I did was to add a line in order to activate the camera2 api. Well, it didn't have the intended effect as not only the camera didn't gain any additional functions, it also stopped working completely. Removing the line doesn't seem to resolve the issue. I tried clearing the cache of the camera app, as well as reinstalling it. The line in question is the following "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
I would appreciate if you have any suggestions. I do have a backup, but I consider it a last resort.
Thanks in advance.

1: Adding the line again and switching 1 for 0 doesn't seem to fix the issue. However, now I get the following message "Camera error Please restart camera". Will try to restart the phone and see what happens.
2: The issue persists.

If reverting your changes did not fix the problem then possibly trying a different camera app or going into settings and deleting that specific camera apps data could resolve the problem.
Same problem. There are any ways?
becuase moto x play doesn't support camera2 api. try ersist.camera.HAL3.enabled=0. if not worked you must use factory settings or reflash rom

Build.prop permissions should be rw-r--r-- (octal 644/ chmod 644). Build prop editor tools change it to rw, which causes camera to fail.
Hint: using Magisk it is possible to do the changes in the startup script /magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d. more details see here.
The idea of Magisk is to never change system at all. All changes are done virtually using mount bind, then it is possible very easy if you want to revert any of your changes.
Would probably have helped a lot in this case, so I recommend to prefer this approach modifying system.
Same on MOTO X STYLE, with "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" modified by magisk, even AIDA64 can't detect camera...

Dear Friends,
After Installing "Slide to Answer/Ignore" on my HTC Diamond with stock(1.93) ROM my dialer has changed, i mean when a key is pressed the buttons have changed to what you can see in the picture.
Would you provide me the images or a .cab file to restore my dialer while keeping the "Slide to answer/ignore" application?

Try uninstalling the slide-to-answer cab and then soft reset.
If that fixes the images, try a different cab to reinstall the slide-to-answer. This one is good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466519

Dear mate,
i did uninstalled it but it didn't make my dialer back,still the problem remains.now i'm going to test the V3 version but i'm not optimistic on solving this issue,i'm trying to find a way to make the dialer back while keeping the "Slide to..." application.
Installing the other dialer that I recommended will only help after you have managed to fix your button problems because that version does not alter any button images.
A hard reset will fix your problems but there are some other less-severe options.
You need to delete all of the dialer images so that your ROM copies become visible again. You could do this yourself in Total Commander or Resco Explorer, or do it another way. One way would be to uninstall all dialers then install a full-dialer cab, before uninstalling it again.
Hope this makes sense.
Edit: You could try this one, then unistall it:

Thanks mate,that solved my problem
Hi aminsamizadeh,
I'm having the same problem you did with the dialer and it's due to the same installation of the Slider.
I did try uninstalling the slider but the corruption with the keypad was still present.
I presume you resolved your issue by hard reset or did you try what was previously suggested? If so could you explain in detail which files need removing?
Or if anyone does have cab or have original dialer files that I can install, I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
Solved problem located copy of original bmp for pressed buttons and replaced, everything back to normal
Dear Xavier,
I solved that problem by installing the the cab file in the 2nd or 3rd post in this thread then uninstalling it,dialer reverted to the priginal state,anyway glad to know you got rid of shared problem.
Hi all,
Nexus S 2.3.4 stock
I9023XXKD1
GRJ22
My Nexus S camera won't autofocus. It happens with the stock photo/video app, as well as with other apps, like barecode scanner.
Am I the only one? I've searched the web and got no result.
I don't use the camera often, but I think it used to work, I remember using Prixing and it worked. Recently, I tried to scan a barcode with Google Goggles and it failed. I downloaded Barcode Scanner and the scan failed. The camera just sees a blurry image. I went to Appbrain to try Barecode Scanner to scan some QR Codes, like I used to do with my Motorola Milestone, but it failed to focus.
I updated my phone manually a few months ago from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 as the autoupdate failed. Maybe I didn't use the good update.zip?
If I remember correctly, I used this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062&page=23
That's why I did a factory reset, as it was in 2.3.3 when I bought it. Unfortunately, it stays on 2.3.4
I'd appreciate if you could take some time to figure out with me what's wrong with my camera.
Thank you

a factory resets just deletes all the data. you keep whatever software youre on. go to main settings, applications, manage applications, all, camera.. now delete the data. try your camera.
Thank you for your answer.
Even though I'm sure I did it before doing a factory reset, I followed your advise and delete the data from the camera application.
My focus is now functional.
Thanks again

Okay so this is a royal screw up on my behalf,
Here's what I did, I got tired of the default Moto. Cam on my M, so I got my hands on a Flashable Moto X CAM/GAL APK
and flashed it using CWMR stupid I know, and yes I made a NANDROID. My question is, this demon of an app has possessed
my original Camera and has merged in with it, I've uninstalled the Moto X Camera, I've done a Factory Data Wipe, I've restored
my NANDROID Backup, yet it still keeps coming back. Now I finally figured out how, it has made Google Play think that this
Moto X camera is a System App on my phone and apparently it's compatible too.. Now When ever I get rid of the Moto X Camera
Google Play wants me to update back to that Moto X Camera which doesn't work correctly.
Can anyone help me with this...?
EDIT: My Stock Camera works fine, if anyone could help me get rid of notifications for the Moto X Camera Update that would suffice,
I turned off Auto Updates for the Gallery and the Camera, but it insists on reminding me that two apps need my seal of approval in order to update.
Running - (Razr M / GPe 4.4.2) obviously rooted and unlocked.
Thanks.
Remove the files that are associated with moto's cam & gallery. This should work, but no guarantees.

system / etc / permissions /
Delete
Code:

EDIT: Thanks for your help, however after doing all that and uninstalling both the Gallery and the Camera the problem persists upon restoring the Camera & Gallery. Definitely an issue with the Play Store not letting go of the fact that I don't own a Moto X. :crying:
I would just use the Nexus Camera from the Play Store, or the Google Camera and get rid of the Moto Cam - but they don't support saving to SD.

Thank you for your reply, I'll try this when I get back home.
Fingers Crossed.
The camera you flashed is a system app, don't just factory reset your phone try to format the system also then restore the whole backup.
Things you wanna do...
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Format system
Wipe dalvik cache
Now restore your nandroid backup.

Thank you for your response, I just tried your suggested method to the 'T' however it didn't work.
I think the problem resides with the Google Play Store, after I flashed the Moto X Cam/Gal Zip I
was notified of an update on Google Play Store - which I took the update and now I believe it is
stuck in the Store thinking that I have that App, which I sort of do it's just the System App for the
Razr M. =/

common solution for system apps or better to say preinstalled apps is to clear cache, data, force stop and re open it.
Setting > Apps > Camera > Clear Cache, Data, Force Stop
then try to re open app and check issue.
Possible solutions If problem remains
- you need to restart phone.
- reset to factory
- Flash another stock firmware (that u can find in sammobile.com/firmware) via Odin

Thankyou for your help but I have already tried your first suggestion and unfortunatly it didn't help.
I was also thinking I may need to Factory reset or flash another stock firmware as I have tried deleting the app itself and installing again but I still have the same problem.
I just find it strange that I cant seem to find any info on any one else having the same issue...
Anyway when I have abit of free time I will look for a firmware and give it a try. In the mean time any other suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Gary.
Well I figured out what was causing this. It seems installing xposed stops my stock camera app from working as previously discussed.
The app is fine installed but when the firmware for xposed is installed the camera app doesn't work, when the firmware is uninstalled the camera app works fine.
If anyone has any info on this then I would appreciate it if you could share.
I'm also gonna ask in the xposed thread to see if anyone has any explanation or info. Hopefully I can get to the bottom of this and sort it out.
Thanks if any help or info is given.
Regards,
Gary.

Cannot access the "3 dots" overflow menus (Chrome, Google Camera, Play Store, etc.)
Recently bought a N6P and I wanted to give my N4 to the gf. Performed a Nandroid backup just in case. Did a factory reset, clean manual flash of the latest 5.1.1 factory images, wipe cache, another factory reset from stock recovery, completely stock, stock kernel, stock recovery, no root, nada.
Here's the problem: I cannot access the "3 dots" overflow menus in different apps like Chrome, Google Camera, Play Store search results, etc. This means that I cannot go back/forward/open a new tab/settings in Chrome or disable/change the flash/timer/settings in Google Camera for example.
3 dots overflow menu = #4 on this pic:

I tried manually flashing back 5.0, 5.1.0 factory images (clean flash) and same thing. I tried flashing 4.4.4 and the 3 dots menu from the bundled Chrome version WORKED and then stopped working as soon as Chrome updated itself. I tried flashing Chroma M Rom and same issue. I then tried restoring my Nandroid backup and I can access the 3 dots overflow menus like I've always done (issue gone). I've never had this problem in the close to 3 years that I've owned this phone. :crying:
See screenshots (in Chroma but same thing happens in stock stock stock 5.1.1, 5.1.0, etc.) This is happening at different locations on my screen so it's not physical damage, ie in Chrome I can press the microphone icon but not the 3 dots overflow menu.
Please help! Thank you
TL DR: Nothing happens when I press the 3 dots overflow menus
Hi,
I have a similar issue on mine, but i figured that the digitizer is not working properly, install a app like YAMTT and test the screen to make sure everything is working fine.

I really don't understand how I can access the buttons when I restore my Nandroid backup and not when I factory reset but it might be due to a modification from a Rooted app or an Xposed module (like maybe the buttons are not exactly at the same spot because of a modification). (even if I don't remember having any display modification, I might just have forgotten about it)
Because you are right, there's definitely something wrong! Thanks so much @johnnydvc
I think it might be because as you said the buttons could move a little and its responsiveness too, on mine the digitizer acts almost like yours, but there's a tiny line on the right side of the screen which reacts and i think that some buttons receive this input and others don't, so there's a reason to some buttons on the same place work and others don't.
Glad you sorted it out!
