[Q] Camera Problem with Custom Roms

[cpl183]

i tried Cyanogenmod 11 nightly, , CM11 Linaro and SlimKat 4.4, and everywhere i have the same problem, only the front camera works. in stock roms like LRS, everything is fine, as expected. i tried different camera apps, but the problem remains the same, the camera doesn't work, only the front camera does. there isn't even a button in the camera app to switch between back and front camera, as if i only have one.

is there a fix or a workaround for this? not having a camera is a dealbraker for me, but i really don't want to stay stock. i flashed multiple times, used different gapps versions, did factory resets and reboots, nothing seems to help, the stock version was 4.4.2 v50020. anyone else experiencing such problems?

I'm having the same problem. My Gpad came from the factory with 4.4.2 installed. and when I try to put any custon rom, this problem is with the camera. any solution? :crying:

 

[azpik]

Yes. The same problem. Maybe cyanogen team (Bug: CYAN-4444) can find solution.

same problem here, tryied every rom and kernel and nothing. only stock firmware back camera works.. can anyone help us?

 

[don_ernesto]

read in one SlimKat thread that using the Google Camera from play store would work with all the custom roms, since it uses a different API than other apps.

Haven't tried myself, but you can give it a try

Google camera doesn't work better for me. This is very annoying

For me neither. Also in the latest builds where infected said the back camera should be fixed, it doesn't work for me.

 

[azpik]

The problem with camera is present on not only custom roms. It exists on official v50010a firmwares after downgrade. Possibly it's driver\kernel problem, which is caused distinction in camera's modules. Maybe new revisions of the G Pad use some other modules, than older ones.

 

[effraie]

Any directions to fix it ?

 

[azpik]

IMHO, they need to get out driver for camera from official 20a. But how it function with kernel, this is the big question that must be solved.

 

[effraie]

So, there is nothing i can do, except waiting somebody solving that issue ? No mistake on my side ?

Having no back camera is really not a problem to me, but i can't stand having something misconfigured...

Both cameras working for me slimkat 6.2

 

[effraie]

Rear camera not working too

Hi

For me the rear camera won't work too.

My G Pad is a V50020d with stock 4.4.2. I installed the Cyanogenmod 11 via CWM Philz Touch.

Same problem here
tried cm11, paranoid e now um on mahdi, no back camera on any of 3 roms

 

[valp88]

I haven't tested other custom roms, but Infected's CM11 M9 won't fix the back camera for me.

My G Pad (stock V50020a) is made in Brazil, there might be something to do with this driver or component-wise.

 

[azpik]

There is a source codes of the last firmware and kernel for the g pad on the lge site.
Maybe, it will help developers to add support for our camera module in the cyan kernel.
