nexus4 camera flash problem - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
my nexus4 is on stock 5.1.1 not rooted . When taking a pic with google camera using flash i get a black pic (the flash is working but just before the camera capture). but when using another camera software it works fine. any ideas!

I've had that happen too. Even with Camera Awesome, I get a black bar in my picture if I use a flash. I solved the Android camera app problem by uninstalling the updates. However, Camera Awesome still has the bar if I use a flash. Can't find a solution despite clearing cache, data, etc.

Uninstall google camera updates. Latest update has lot of reported bugs. Faced the same issue.

Ya I get the same issue.

Which version of camera is the best working? I see a lot in apk mirror site that are close to each other and I am not sure

Camera FC

Hi to everyone,
since I installed Rom based on AOSP, CM, overall SlimRom that is my favourite, I always met FC on camera.
Googling on xda forum, I searched post with the same problem, and talk about Goolge camera to flash in recovery to replace stock camera.
I follow the suggestion also with latest update but FC happens again (are always behind the corner: Italian expression).
This occur when tap the screen to focus the image. If I would make a photo sequence device FC.
There's a solution? I tried other camera apps but nothing FC FC FC
Thanks, Bye
Edit:
Now Im on Omni Rom and nowadays seems not have FC like other AOSP as Slim. Why these difference?
Error solved
Hi to everyone,
perhaps I've discovered the problem with camera. Since month I installed an app to keep wake device smart eye, and I believe this app should make a conflict with the camera when scan with front camera.
I've been unable camera from app control and now works. Sometimes crash without fc.
Sorry but I've never thought at this conflict.

Stock Camera app?

Does anybody have the stock camera app apk? I really don't want to have to reflash my phone as it is set up how I like it and am really liking the stock+root - debloated w/ launcher setup as of now. The problem is that the stock camera isn't working, once it goes on, it becomes unresponsive and won't take pictures.
I have been using the Google camera, but I am missing features of the stock one and always prefer to use the camera app that was created around the hardware.
I was wondering if anybody had a link to the stock camera app so I could reflash it and replaced the old, broken one. I have tried to clear data and it still gives me the same issues.
Thanks!

Stock latest lollipop camera works fine, after camera update takes black picture with flash. Uninstalling update fixed the issue.
Cm12.1 same issue with ROM default camera.
Chroma same issue with default camera.
EDIT: found using latest camera on kitkat is flawless. only when on lollipop and latest camera this issue occurs.
Uninstall google camera...use camera360 instead

dont need these stupid filter camera's. plus it doesn't have video mode.
what i want is a simple no blabla camera that do picture and video, or a fix to this flash issue that takes black picture.
iv got an older google camera and it works fine, but it auto updates so i disabled auto update for now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
Use this. It supports video recording too.
Camera360 is also great.
here what i found according to my need that is..
1 old version of Google camera
2 open camera (ui is not great specially settings)
3 better camera (paid but worth it)
Google camera and better camera takes same quality pictures, video is better on better camera on low light condition.
i was facing same issue , but i found a solution . you have to press anywhere on the screen first , 2nd time you press on capture button . it works for me
no that just add inconvenience, i found using older version of google camera is far better, just have to see i don't update it by mistake.

Marshmallow ROM with working camera

Hello, does the camera work in marshmallow? I just flashed one ROM but the camera does not work, it just crash......can someone please suggest me a mm ROM with working camera?
Thank you very much
I think Beanstalk's camera works.
It should work an almost all MM roms. If it's not working, it's most likely a permission issue. Go to app settings and enable all permissions for the camera app, after that the camera should work out of the box.
Install the Google camera app 2.5
The older camera 2.0 doesn't work at all in MM.
I use this camera app called (Camera M)

Self comment: I did some tests and had initial problems with this camera, maybe due to dirty OS update. In particular the camera app just terminated whenever I touched the trigger. After opening the settings and changing some of them the camera worked well.
Well in the end i had to go back to KitKat.....used parrotmod, fstrim on marshmallow....nothing worked to fix the terrible lag that i was having, even after trying many mm roms the situation was terribly worse then KK.....now the tablet is pretty smooth again on Slimkat full f2fs + fstrim....best combo for speed

Camera not working at all after an update from Google

Just received an update from Google. Installed it and now the camera app has stopped working !! The rear camera probably is the issue as even when I use Open Camera, I can't go to the rear camera and take pics. This is just very very frustrating! Already had issues with the native camera app and now this ! Software glitches that too with Google are really frustrating as there is no way I can reach them
Also, my flashlight isn't working. Could this be a hardware issue?
Any help or suggestions? Other than another factory reset?
Please help !

Try clearing the system cache. If that doesn't work stop the native camera app. If you get a message to undo all updates and revert to stock hit yes. Clear any app data then reboot phone. Restart camera app.
