Broken front camera - Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers

So I have this weird issue of broken front cam. Back in Feb i rooted my phone and flashed LineageOS 16.0 [UNOFFICIAL][20190121] developed by Shivam Kumar Jha. Everything is working fine, stock camera both front and back are ok. Gcam is also ok (Night sight ok, no selfie). I got pretty bored and wanted to try new roms. I flashed resurrection remix. Front cam doesnt work,only back cam. When I selected front cam, it uses the 5mp back camera. Gcam doesnt launch at all.
I flashed 5-6 different roms (Pixel Experience, Nitrogen, DOT, Arrow etc) all having the same issue. Whats weirder is when I tried to flash back to Lineage 20190121, after selecting wifi or mobile network during setup it doesn't proceed further. It goes back to ask me select wifi or mobile network screen. Downloaded AIDA 64 and it detected my front cam as a rear cam. Front cam isn't really important to me as i rarely take selfies but not having Gcam is a disappointment. Any advice on what are my next step? Back to stock asus oreo rom?

ICS Camera Issues

After upgrading to ICS, the build in Camera App has problems and also the QRC-Reader App even shows a error.
In Google Googles and Camera FX, the Camera works perfect.
Does anybody experience the same issues.

Nope, all working perfectly here. I tested video, still, and panorama with the front and rear cameras, including all options (white balance, face effects, etc.), as well as panorama with the rear camera (it can't be used with the front one), and scanning a dozen different 2D and 3D barcodes with the ZXing app and rear camera as well.
Not a single error or crash on a stock US-market just-wiped TF101. Well, other than that the camera quality sucks, but that's a hardware issue.
every camera app including the stock one work perfectly.
Mine also works perfectly now... fornt and rear...
But one question though: in the stock camera app, what's the button in the lower right corner for? my camera app freezes when I click on it...
Hi,
Also for me not working camera; I try more applications, none of them working.
This is very strange: I have between the applications that are included in ROM also "Superuser". This suppose to came with ICS?
My TF was rooted previously, but when I did upgrade to latest version of HC (8_6_5_21), I did lost the root.
So this application was installed in my TF before the upgrade to ICS; but now I cannot uninstall: seems that is included in ROM.
The error I receive when I try camera is : "Can't connect to the camera".
I believe that something went wrong in my upgrade. I did also factory reset after upgrade to ICS, no change.
Now I hope some update from asus will help me.

camera not working
My camera is not working as well, done people have started their cameras up while holding their finger in front of it to activated their auto focus, and have had success. Just place your finger in front of the camera for 5 seconds then remove it. No success for me, but you can tell it's doing something different when you do that
Same problem here "Can't connect to camera". This error comes up for front facing camera but the back camera works perfectly. Thing is this error came up when I installed the prime rom.
PS. The front facing camera was working when I bought the tab.

Ah, the front sensor strikes again...
That's almost like my own experience with the front camera: worked like a charm on Honeycomb, since 9.2.1.17 it goes berserk in low-light conditions until the unit is rebooted (but instead of an error message the Camera application showed a garbled image with previous contents of the framebuffer).
IIRC, the first batch of logs I sent to Asus North America was related to this problem
Are you guys stock and unrooted? If not give it a shot just to see.

Latest CM13 = Camera not working (black screen)

Hi guys I've got a A2003 which I love and recently got CM13 from the latest MM OOS (I think it was 3.0.2)
I'm big fan of CM13 but since the upgrade the camera app isn't working. Every time I launch the app, the screen is black, the camera controls do appear on the screen but they are unresponsive and after a while the app crashes.
Can you please through in any ideas you have, because I really need the camera to take shots of my receipts for expense reporting and stuff like that. I would hate to go back to OOS for something like that.

Rear camera is not working

How did you get rear camera to work on CM13 and CM14.1? Camera app is force closing and after that if i try to reopen it I have a message "can't connect to camera".
I wiped everything that I can. A lot of times. I tried fixes in samsung s4 thread (with camera restart and mod). Nothing is helping. BTW, frontal camera is working perfect, but it's a kinda hell to take photos only with frontal camera.
Oh, i forgot to add. Before force closing system freezes for a nearly 10 sec.
im on cm 14.1 on lenovo k920 and everything working fine except few bugs which i hope will be solved in new updates as it is in developing mode....
try to flash room again and do a format and see if it solve your problem and dont forget to backup your important data

Front Camera Won't Close

front camera won't close after going on gcam, specifically ultracam, going on selfie and switching to video. restarted phone multiple times and tried the k20 pro camera tool and did not work. any way besides flashing a stock rom? using android 10 evolution x 4.3
The camera will close automatically after 10 seconds aprox after you exit the non-working gcam.
Try opening the stock camera app, then switch over to front cam, do it about 2-3 times
