When I open the Camera and try to take a photo, it insta-freezes the Camera app. If I try and take or even focus on a front-facing photo, or try and use any other app to take a photo, I just get a green screen. I know this is normally a symptom of rooting/DRM but see below. In the past I have sometimes had this freezing happen but it is resolved with a reboot. Now it's not going away even with 4 reboots.
My X Compact is running on 7.1.1, patch level June 1 2017, kernel 3.10.95-Genesis-Kernel-v1.05. Magisk 16. Originally had been able to take a TA backup before unlocking the bootloader. Applied the appropriate fix at the time and have not had ongoing camera problems until now.
(Yes I know I could be on Oreo by now but the phone has otherwise been so stable I didn't want to mess with it.)
I can also confirm that under Service Tests > Security I have:
WIDEVINE [Key OK] [Active]
CKB [Key OK] [Active]
FIDO_KEYS : Provisioned
Can anyone think of a reason why I'm abruptly getting this issue when I didn't have it before and haven't changed the firmware in months?
Just wanted to add, it's been like this all day now. I tried switching Magisk to core-only mode but that has not helped.

Hi people:
I bought a Xperia X Compact 2 weeks ago. It seems to be a "journalist and commercial" terminal, as it came with version 6.0.1 of Android and did not allow updates via OTA.
I've used FlashTool to put another version of Firmware, the 7.1.1, and everything looks perfect, until I'm going to make a photo.
In the screen is observed to make the photo and I see the "picture" to take, but the touch button of the screen is not working. From that moment, the mobile starts to spend a lot of battery and the photo is not done. If you force the camera to front, a photo comes out completely in green.
I've put ROM 6.0.1 (Journalist and Commercial) back in, but the camera no longer works.
I have not done root.
EDITED:
Sorry. I lost DRM and the problem solved when I install patched Kernel. Problem is solved and I have 7.1.1 "with" DRM.
Thank you for your help
I have the same problem now , anyone know how to repair it
I might be having exactly the same problem. How did you get (and install) the patched kernel?
Thanks.
Dear community,
I've recently updated my OnePlus 5 to Oxygen OS 5.0.4 from 4.5.15 or so (last 4.x version). I wiped everything, then flashed 5.0, then 5.0.4, then restored data with Titanium Backup. Among others, I am running Magisk 16, Xposed 90b3 and several modules for each of these (Greenify4Magisk, Google lens enabler, OOS call recording, GravityBox, Flat Style Bar Indicators, Greenify etc.).
Almost ever since I made the update I get very frequent restarts (10-20 or more per day). I just noticed that my smartwatch is disconnected and I have to re-enter the pin when unlocking the phone. At times the phone restarts several times in a row. One thing I noticed that it only restarts while the screen is off.
I tooks 7 logcat logs via ADB with warning (and worse) filter, but I am thinking that it might not be a good idea to post them here in the open** (I don't know if I can anonymize them) . If anybody wants to take a look at these logs I'll pass them in private.
Otherwise if there would be a way to wipe the private information out of the logs (like some logcat apps seem to be able to do), please point me to the right information source.
Thanks for all the help!
**If I am mistaken about this assumption, please correct me.
PS: What I noticed as being different from before the update is that this time I installed Greenify4Magisk.
Hello all,
like I have already written in subject: The camera (tried with different camera apps) takes around 5 seconds to switch between rear and front view. This is normal behaviour? For me it takes a little bit too long ?!
Is there any solution for this issue? It seems that this happens after upgrading to Oreo 8.0 but not sure.
Using an unlocked and rooted device with Oreo 8.0 security patches march.
Thank you for any advice !

Have u enabled camera2api? If yes that's the culprit..install oreo cam lag fix module from magisk to fix it
I believe it is related more to Magisk than to camera2api. In each case, fix is the same Use this module https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MI-A1-Camera-Startup-Lag-Oreo or just run this command at boot as root
Code:
magiskpolicy --live "allow hal_camera_default * * *"
Yeah! Installing the Camera Lag Fix Module for Oreo fix the problem. Many thanks!
As the title says, the autofocus function on the camera doesn't work anymore. The way it works is like it's stuck on 'macro' mode, changing to manual mode and manually trying to focus further distances doesn't work.
I've already reset the device to factory settings, but it still persists, which leads me to believe it's either hardware related ( not likely at all, the only time I dropped the phone was 2/3 days of getting it in oct2017 and only got a crack bottom screen part ) or software related (but at a rom level, i've noticed it a couple days ago after updating to february sec. patch).
I would like to not get dirty into modding the phone and installing custom roms, but, I can get to do it (thinking something like LOS would be a good fit) as I've fiddled with other xiaomi devices before and what not ( and if that fixes it ).
Here are some results of the photos taken for now...

PS: It's been a while since I've got my hands dirty with installing custom roms and what not, although not everything is unknown to me for this device ( I've unlocked the bootloader before, and know what happens when I'll need to unlock it again, etc... )
Edit: just noticed my sig says i'm with Oreo, but I'm with Pie (5-feb patch).
Portrait mode works?
Try stock rom installed in fastboot mode

Yep, "depth" option works fine. even using the wide angle sensor works... it's like it's stuck focusing macro, and what's even more odd is manual mode not working too (if it was a bit of dust on the lens or something like that, manual mode would "ignore" that)...
Do you have links for fastboot stock android pie rom ?
No, sorry, just use search function.

I have the same problem, can you solved it?
Hello. This is the only place where I think I can find ann answer to this bug.
The issue: all OnePlus 8 Pro cameras work normally with every single app, except the stock camera app. I can take photos and make videocalls, use instagram, whatsapp, etc. All cameras are working fine. Even face unlock, But the stock camera app opens in a black screen, then 3 seconds later, closes (and you can find it on the recent apps drawer.
What I did so far to debug this:
- Wiped the cache
- Wiped the cache and data for the camera app and the camera service
- Did a clean install (factory reset) on OOS 11
- Did a clean install (factory reset) rolling back to OOS 10
- Upgraded to a beta version on OOS 11.
- Did a clean install of OOS 11 using MSM Tools
- Updated the camera app to a beta version
- Updated the camera service to a beta version
All this with stock software.
Absolutely nothing that I do makes the stock camera app to work. I can assume that this is not a hardware issue, since all the cameras work on any app except the stock camera app. But if it's a software issue, why even wiping with msm tools didn't fix it? I really can't find an answer to this.
Has anyone ever faced this bug? I'm almost selling my oneplus 8 pro as defective since we don't have official oneplus support in brazil.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
If you've used msm to go back to stock then it must be a low level driver that's not working..
Haven't got a clue how that could be fixed though, i would reach out to OnePlus.
If you don't fancy that, the only other thing you could maybe try is one of the custom ROMs that now has the OOS camera baked into their ROM.
It's a long shot but perhaps that may work and may invoke a change that's inherited by the OOS system..
Sorry it's an odd one.
