Camera doesn't work (freeze or black screen) - Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi, first of all, I apologise for my english, I'm not very good at it, but I'll try to write the best I can.
I'm posting this because I'm having troubles with the rear camera in my Lenovo Vibe K5 plus running LineageOS 14.1-20170515-NIGHTLY-A6020. Last week i've used the camera a lot, and then suddenly some photos started to appear half-black (bottom half), and others just can't be opened. I've backuped all the SD card (with photo files in it) and then format it with FAT32 filesystem, but then I've realized that the trouble was with the camera app, and after wipe dalvik and cache and erase the app data, I've decided to format the phone storage and make a clean install of LineageOS 14.1-20170515-NIGHTLY-A6020 (before I was using AOSP-extended in his last version). Lineage OS works better than AOSP-extended in my phone, but the camera doesn't open, it just show a black screen with the capture button, and sometimes shows image for a few seconds and then freezes... A very few times it shows the image properly and works just right, and even I can take some pictures, but if I close the camera app and I open it again, the trouble comes back.
This problem occurs also in every app that uses camera, like Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp.
Any idea? I've erase app data, erase system cache, wipe dalvik, installed Google camera and nothing works for me

[Issue] Most of my apps can't have access to Internal Storage

Hi everyone, three days ago i updated my Galaxy Nexus to the latest 4.2 version, from the stock 4.2 (the one without december in the people app).
Yesterday i started to realize some weird behaviors with overall apps, and here are some of them:
. Câmera app : Photo is taken, but can't visualize it
. Galery app : Shows ammount of photos in each album, but all the thumbnails are solid gray, and no photo can be selected for visualization
. Swiftkey Keyboard : Keeps raising error related to "Dynamic Language Packs" (since swiftkey stores the dynamic packs in the sdcard/internal storage, this might be another access issue)
. All apps that use camera activity : Camera is loaded but once i took the photo, it does not return to the app, and the camera app keeps open. No photo is returned to the app that invoked the camera aswell
. Dropbox : Can't export to internal storage any file, sometimes it manages to finally "read" the internal storage and show me directories structure, and sometimes it doesn't. In both situations, file "fails to export".
This seems a really weird behavior to me, and i thought that it might be a "Permission" issue, so i got in recovery mode and fixed permissions, but nothing got solved.
Is there any other step i might take before having to actually try a full wipe / factory reset ?
Having to reinstall / reconfigure all the apps is a pain in the butt, and since i can't backup them with titanium because of the internal storage issue, i would have to do it "manually".
By the way : Play store can update and download apps with no problem at all, so this is not a hardware issue for sure.
Try this wipe cache via recovery and dalvik cache and then flash latest root.
This should work.

Wiping cache and Dalvik Cache will not erase all my internal storage right ?
EDIT: Wiping Cache and Dalvik have not worked
Weird Issue:
After booting up into recovery mode, and try to Install .ZIP from sdcard, the CMW does not actually find any other folder in my sdcard than some weird ones like "0", "odb" and "legacy".
What are those folders ?
Why it does not sees the other folders ?

Then i rooted it and everything is ok now.

Photos not saving when using camera! OOS / CM13

Hey! I have an annoying problem with camera & photos on my OP3...
Camera launches fine but when I take a photo its not saved. If I try the Google Camera it says error while trying to snap a photo. Same issues on both OxygenOS and CM13.
Solved it once by formatting the whole internal memory (factory wipe didnt help), but now the bug is back again without reason - it worked earlier today but not now anymore?!?!? :S
The thing is, I really don't wanna format and set all things up all over again... Restoring a backup doesn't help... its like its another "external" thing thats broken.
I tried looking over permissions and clearing app data and what not... all the basic stuff is already tested out without progress!
Usually solve most stuff myself but this is just wierd. Anyone else had this problem? Solution? :angel: :good:
SOLVED: By doing a full backup in TWRP (system, data, boot) then copying it to PC. Then format data, copy back the backup from PC and restore it in TWRP. Voila, now it works by restoring the exact same backup where taking photos didn't work before. So its definently something else, which is solved by formatting everything on the phone!
I've had the same issue on my OnePlus 3 running stock OxygenOS (3.2.1).
I managed to resolve it by clearing the data on the camera app, which can be done by opening the Settings and going to the Apps list. Select the Camera app and click on the Storage information which then gives you the option to 'Clear Data'. This in effect resets the Camera app and seems to resolve the issue.

Camera broken? "Cant connect to camera error"

Hey Guys,
Few weeks ago my camera started giving the "cant connect to camera" error and couldnt use the camera. Sometimes it did work but then crashed again.
- I tried force stop of the camera app and clearing the app data and cache, no effect.
- Next i went to TWRP and cleared cache/dalvik, no effect.
- Then tried updating to a newer xiaomi.eu MIUI Weekly ROM, no effect.
- Now i went to TWRP and deleted everything except Cust (so i deleted dalvik/ART cache,System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache).
Afterwards installed the latest 7.8.24 weekly and after installing cleared cache/dalvik. After booting for the first time again the camera error. Weird thing, i just installed Whatsapp again, when i use the camera i see a frozen screen so it gets an image and i can switch to front camera that is working correctly.
Does anybody have other ideas or is it unfortunately an hardware error?

Suddenly almost all my APPs keep crashing (A3 2017)

Help!
For some reason my A3 started to act weird (maybe because it noticed that I ordered an S9). Almost all my apps aren't accessible anymore. When I click on something it starts the app and then closes it shortly after telling me the app needs a restart.
Only few apps work (Whatsapp, Calendar, Instagram, Calculator for example)
I tried wiping the cache partition (where it says it can't find the /misc partition, don't know if this is normal), wiping app cache directly and reinstalling apps. Nothing helped.
Thanks in advance!
start everything from the beginning,
just wipe your /data from twrp.
and everything will fine.
dont forget to backup your data inside internal memory, because it will be wiped too

Clipboard bug on Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (X00TDB)

I did a clean flash of "lineage-16.0-20200421-nightly-X00TD-signed.zip" and then downloaded and installed the latest patch a few days ago.
I can't remember if this bug occurred before applying the latest patch, but the system clipboard will randomly stop working at least once per day. What that means is that although Android 9 shows that the clipboard is turned on, it will suddenly fail to receive copied text from any apps.
I know that the text I try to copy is not successfully copied because normally Google Translate will have a pop-up icon that helps me quickly translate copied text. The icon does not prompt me to translate once the bug sets in.
The only way to correct the bug (temporarily) is to freeze the keyboard (Gboard), clear its cache and data, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, and then reset.
When doing the clean install and ROM update within Orange Fox Recovery, I wiped cache and dalvik after both respective flashes.
