Hello everyone, i'm having a problem with the photo editor app.

So i guess the photo editor is showing the picture full screen instead of adjusting it to the screen, and as the code is written to only maximize to a specific part of the screen, its not reaching the ''full screen'' picture.
So i guess i need to replace with another photo editor APK?

As soon as i press crop (on the bottom) the picture resizes so i can see all of it.
Hope that is what you meant.
Here a picture just before i pressed crop:

I get the same Han, but the thing is when i press crop, instead of adjusting the picture, it does nothing (just a bit, like 5%)
Here is before crop mode:
This is after crop mode (compare to your first screenshot, the blue crop retangle and then this)

Looks like its not completely working like it should.
I'm using Andoird 4.4.2 international version.
But only thing i can thing of is a factory reset. Else lets hope there's someone with a good idea how to fix this.
Goodluck! :good:

Can't i just replace the Photo editor Apk?

anybody solved this already? i'm also having this problem.

It works with me..

Please see attachment

Was a solution to this problem ever found? I have the same issue, when trying to crop a photo in the default photo editing app on my Note 3, I can't extend the crop area to the extreme left or right of the screen. The crop line sticks about 1cm from the edge of the screen and won't allow me to drag it any wider. Also I can't zoom out far enough to crop to the top or bottom of the photo either (they are obscured by the menu bars).
Andre

still doesn't work for me either
I still have this problem as above
Has been this way since I got the phone before kit Kat and after
Also after factory reset and rooting it
The crop tool won't let my drag all the way to the border of the photo being cropped
Is this actually a problem limited to a few ?

Shooting Raw on the Honor 8

Shooting Raw on the Honor 8​
To shoot photos in RAW format, open your camera app in pro photo mode. Swipe to the settings from the right side of your screen and toggle RAW format.
When you shoot in regular mode on the Honor 8, your photos are compressed and exported to a JPEG format. When RAW is toggled, an uncompressed RAW image will be saved along with a standard JPEG formatted copy.
RAW image data
Shooting RAW photos will produce a file around 20MBs-30MBs on average. When you transfer these files to your computer to edit in photoshop, you'll notice that there is a lot more detail when adjusting color and contrast.

}
JPEG image data
The compressed JPEG that is produced when shooting in standard mode is usually between 2MB-12MBs in size. These photos are fine for applying filters and stuff but when adjusting colors or contrast, you'll notice you lose quality.

Thanks for the tip, you saved me time and space on my phone

HOWTO Enable RAW and video stabilization

The camera in the Moto G5 is capable of some relativity advanced features. To get to them the Camera2 API needs to be enabled. The Camera2 API replaces the deprecated Camera class since Android 5.
For instance in Open Camera you can shoot RAW photos or use image stabilization in videos if you enable Camera2. My RAW images are about 30MB so make sure you have space. You can also use apps that will tap into real slow motion. Both cameras will do at least 120 fps.

}
Here are a few tests I ran on the Moto G5. Looks like there is very good Camera2 API support in both the front and back camera. Zero lag shooting, slow motion, RAW and a ton of settings and features are supported.
Here are a few more camera apps that use the Camera2 api. It should be supported since Lollipop.
--
Open Camera: enable Settings/"Use Camera2 API".
A Better Camera: enable Settings/General settings/More/"Use Camera2 interface".
Snap Camera HDR (Trial): enable Settings/Other/"Use Camera2 API".
Camera FV-5: this uses Camera2 by default.
AZ Camera: this uses Camera2 by default.
Footej: this uses Camera2 by default.
Lightroom (which has a built-in camera using Camera2)
–
To enable just put this in your build.prop
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Then reboot your phone.
If using Open Camera go into settings and enable Camera2. Restart the app. You will not have the ability to shoot RAW and stabilize your video.

Thanks for the info, I starting to wish I didn't go with LineageOS now.
You will get a blank camera when doing on LineageOS.

Do you need to do anything with the G5, like root it or whatever?

To change the build.prop you need a rooted phone
To root phone you need an unlocked bootloader

I don't know what's wrong but I can't open any raw files I do. I have the stock rom rooted.

I can't open using Photoshop or Lightroom. Google Photos do not synchronize this raw files I don't know it's normal or not. And with the Android Lightroom APK I can't do raw photos because it crash. I supone I have something wrong in the phone...

Hey! Could anyone give a quick step-by-step tutorial how to set this up?
-- Edit: Ok, found a good guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948558
He is talking about an older version of ES File Explorer, in the up to date version its a bit different to navigate to the right folder.
So essentially, you have to install the app, in the main menu tap the upper left corner for the navigation bar, scroll to "Root Explorer" and enable it. Then scroll up and tap "Local", in the dropdown menu tap "Device". From there its the same procedure as in the DroidModder's tutorial. Open the "system" folder, search for "build.prop", open it and choose the ES Editor to put this "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" at the end of the file. I did a backup of the original file, just in case.

Did you fix or find the problem? I got Oreo (Stock + Root) and still can't open this files. I made this post but still no replies :crying:

I'd say open camera is the best out of your api2 list, even video recording works on it when running oreo which on many other cameras it does not.

I'm having crashes in all camera apps when i take a second photo on stock 7.0, does anyone know what the cause may be?

It happens in Stock 8.1 too. I hope someone shows up with the answer

It crashes in Pixel experience oreo 8.1 too. Tried dozens of modded cameras but none of them worked. They were unable to be decoded for Mobile Lightroom and Photoshop.
I have the Motorola Moto G5 Plus XT1685 version

So it crashes in custom ROMs too...

Try this to fix DNG files.
About the crashes, there's no answer yet but a "workaround". Take the picture, see it (from the camera application itself) and go back to camera interface.

Activate additional settings hidden in miui camera

The experimental hidden functions of the camera of any Xiaomi are activated super easy. The tutorial enters where all the system folders are located, then they search for the one that says
DCIM ...

And did You came to conclusion what is the purpose of this unactivated and still untranslated option in Chinese language?
EDIT
I have found by myself and if I'm correct it means "Extended touch-to-focus timeout".
Strange that they didn't translate this option!

To those who like me had to read OP twice to understand:
Just open DCIM/Camera (DCIM located in internal storage where Download folder is) and create empty file lab_options_visible in Camera folder.
Thanks it was interesting

Sorry, I didn't mentioned this because I believe that something like this is self explanatory, but yes, You are right, this is correct procedure to enter in this mode.
To me most interesting option is when camera app can use two CPU cores so I have been activated this option and we will see overall impact during some time.

MFNR => Multi-frame noise reduction
SR=> automatic scene optimization
Dual SAT => camera takes picture with dual camera and then combines them in one picture (every camera shoot's in her best optical range)
Anti banding option is i believe to remove bands caused from power lines (lights) and freq. in which they operate (60 Hz, 50 Hz or auto)

Just as I have been wrought in previous post on beginning of this thread it's "Extended touch-to-focus timeout" function if I have been translated this correctly on some on-line translation service.
Why they didn't translate this and include as visible option is beyond my knowledge but I can assume that's somehow connected with certain instability or specific issues during day to day work or using camera itself.
