Root Green Camera Tint

I wanted to start a thread to see if someone knows how to fix this common problem with Roms. If you don't know what I'm talking about the front facing camera in all Roms has a green night vision tint to it. I look all over google and have yet to find a good solution. Anyone with help please share.

Thanks in advance!
 
Yeah it's been a nagging issue for a long time. Not just with the volt. CM,and all the others put things like the camera on the back burner except for select devices and just say install this crap or that crap....not dealing with this at the moment...or fix it yourself....no thanks ill use stock. dont need your broke ron.
 
We need people who have the issue helping the Devs / trying their own solutions (or more devs...). Mofo and I don't have the issue, Ph0enix_216 does. We've got a discussion going in the CM12.1 thread looking into it further.

DO NOT FLASH THIS. this is what could get from the stock rom. These locations show where these files can be found.

I didn't have the green tint issue but these locations came from the stock. this will hopefully help further your quest.

I appreciate the effort but usually we get the libs from stock anyways. The issue is going to be the interaction of those libraries with the newer APIs. We likely need to find other phones with the same camera that have gotten Android 5.1/Android 6 updates and take their libraries.

Seems like a good idea. Only thing is, how do we identify whether or not a device uses the same camera? Would the LG Volt 2 use the same camera? If so, we could pull the stock blobs from its stock ROM and try throwing those in. As far as I know, recent LG phones that have 5.1/6.0 are the LG Leon, the Tribute 2, the Volt 2, the Sunrise, the Magna, and God knows how many others. I doubt any of the higher-end phones would be of any use to us, as they probably use way better cameras than what our phones are using.

Just my 2 cents. Also, here's a link to The Muppet's LG blob repository on Github. Maybe there's a device in there somewhere that can help us... https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge
 
Google can be very useful in these cases, just need to keep an open mind on what to search for. Easiest thing to do is run a search for CONFIG_IMX111=y.
 
ok this MAY wander in to a place we dont want to go so if it does...feel free to delete. but camu...we all know it works camera and video...why not decompile it and use its sources for our camera? if thats possible. it must be as it does work when ours doesnt.

I have a Volt plagued by the green tint (people don't like to Snapchat me anymore) but Canu doesn't work for me. Interesting idea though... We'd have to ask the developer, wouldn't we?

VivaVideo works wonders it doesn't give that lag effect on my end at least

my thinking is reverse engineering. it isn't illegal to examine sources to see how it works versus what you already have. once you see where the differences are,you can write in your own edits based on what you have learned. not saying take their code and patch it in. just see how they do it. i think they are not relying at all on anything system wise related to drivers for camera or video. i think they have their own separate libraries and drivers bundled right in the app. self contained. OpenCamera does that. And its camera works fine. But the video recorder crashes. It would be the first choice as it is open software available to be implemented and built upon by anyone.
 
I've said it in other threads but the video recording issue looks like it's due to missing codecs. The video app is trying to save in a format that for whatever reason our CM builds don't know how to save to yet. NOT related to the green tint.
