I believe it is true, whether or not intentional. The reason I feel it's a root issue is that when using snapcam for front camera, if you go into the snapcam settings, you can select "Samsung Device", and that brings back the problem, but if you don't select Samsung Device, it's fine. And with my phone before I rooted, front was fine for months, on old and new firmware. Personally it's not an issue, as I like snapcam :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
I cant fix it, than it would be drm related. But why do I not have this issue and some others do not also.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
Maybe its on the rooting method. What did you use to root your device? I followed the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
In Aurora forum they said that the front camera issue was caused by rooting.

I think the settings are hidden somewhere in device.

I turned on OEM Unlock under Developer setting, no matter how many times i flash stock rom. OEM setting is still on ( i thought it would be reset). Maybe camera setting is hidden there too (not sure) :)

Actually, I rooted my phone by a method for Verizon variant at first but it messed up my phone (super lag), i wasn't so sure that i had camera problem at that time. So i flashed stock rom, and followed B method in the first page.

Plus. The G9350.TWRP.3.0-321.tar file in the first page might be the culprit. I have heard that many guys flashed that file and had camera issue.

Oddly enough this issue never occurred until I touched the Aurora V10 rom. When I was using the HK based variants and heck even v9, everything was good. Literally as soon as 10 hit my phone, boom.

Though Im still not sure why most people cant fix the camera. I went back to the original firmware and the camera behaved fine. I stopped using v10 and my front camera has been solid since. I can always try to load v10 one more time and see if pops back up?

Actually makes a lot of sense. According to the red text in the BBS thread for Aurora

2、9350/9300在ROOT存在前置相机拍照发红问题。

3、9350/9300在ROOT后可能在播放某些视频时存在问题。

Video might not work, images may come out black and red with ROOT.

Oddly enough, going back to stock then back to the debloated HK rom following that post that Travis2 put fixes the issue. Explains why I didnt see these issues until v10 :)

Nope, would fail each time. It doesnt like the BL.

Tried downloading a second copy just to make sure.

I can load the CP file and other manually just fine, but when it came to the BL, it wouldnt accept it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Yea samsung does that. It wont let you downgrade bootloaders hence if we update to Nougat and its terrible, if we do it official the bootloader updates and your stuck on nougat. If you flash it via zip a dev makes it doesn't flash the bootloader and you can go back and forth. So I always stay on the lowest bootloader possible because of this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Ah that makes sense.

Tested it on both phones starting from G9350ZHU2APE3. Eventually, at different versions it would go black red. Downgraded, upgraded, the issue would come back eventually. Why Samsung decided to keep the post processing information and not the actual photo is beyond me. The 150kb file is useless and hold almost no usable data.

Took a while for this anomaly to occur on both phones. Showed up at different times. Would turn black red then work perfectly fine for a while, only getting more and more obious over time. Wouldn't put it past the internally tripped 0x1 fuse. Wonder if your not seeing it because of the BL version? You might be safe :p

But if anyone uses anything other then the stock camera app for a standard selfie pic, this is minuscule lol. Wide selfie mode still works with the stock app. Samsung makes some odd choices at times. Gotta love them lol :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Yeah its not really a big deal. Especially considering the performance and battery life trade off.

The stock rom and kernel are pretty bad at scoring in Antutu. 127-130k. No where near the 158-159k I get at the moment.

I'd trade the stock 'selfie' function for that any day of the week.

I'd trade a lot more for an overclocked kernel though lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
I'm still waiting for the next update of 9350 :D

Been using APH2 for quite a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
I get that score on conservative. Camera could be a root thing also.. Very well could be a samsung bug. Overclocking, what's the point? Stock smacks exynos around already isn't that what everyone wanted? If I can get oc sticking and stable sure I'll release it, but I am more focused on cm13.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
I'm looking past the enyxos score, got my eyes set on that iPhone 7 Plus score of 172k. Wouldnt mind toppling that number. It's all in good fun. ;)

But your right, Cyogenmod is probably the right thing to focus on at the moment. Kernel and roms are good enough as is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skrilin5:

I also tried flashing TWRP and travis ROM using method C and the front camera issue is still there.

How did you do it ?

Edited: You should take a lot of pictures to make sure the problem is gone :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skrilin5:
How i did it is in TWRP:

- Backed up my phone (still under method B)

- Wipe data

- flashed Travis's Rom (which basically is applying method C)

- restore data but EXCLUDING boot part

- reboot and let android do it thing with the cogwheel

The issue is really gone, trust me you don't want to see my face :D

EDIT: My bad, i am able to get normal photo at the very beginning right after the rom is load. Then the photo gets Red/black again. It is really a matter of second. The system should detect something then turn the selfie to black
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
Haha. It's okay. Everyone is trying to find a solution.

Btw I kept digging in chinese forum with Google translate today and i found a guy who said that he had fixed the problem just by updating his phone.

Hi All! Sorry to rise up things which maybe been settled long time ago but still unclear for me.

I go to China frequently so I bought G9350 (Snap) but faced with problem as mentioned in post: Chinese versions of firmware having no Google apps. On PC mall they have tried to change firmware CNC to HK but unsuccessful.

So as they explained me it is not possible. And once they did flashed - no service codes were work (*#-06# etc) and who knows what more, maybe including cut some frequencies.., so rolled back to Chinese ROM.

I flashed many roms for many phones but it seems to be not enough experience for exact issue. I also don't understand if phones G9300 have completely same hardware why it is so difficult to change Chinese software to Honkong?

Will be greatly appreciate for any advice
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Dude just boot in twrp and install my rom. I go back and forth all the time. I dont use CH firmware because no Gapps + I dont like baidu its a super slow piece of crap for a google wannabe. Same as Youku just trash. Also do not forget to wipe system and caches before you install the rom so not to cause any compatibility issues.

Let me know if you have anymore issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skrilin5:

Did you follow travis82's fix method ?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69181037&postcount=595
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skrilin5:
It does not sound like a fix, it is more a trial and error procedure to get which version is triggering the issue. I would rather not have selfie, it is fine for me as selfie thru whatsapp has not this issue.

Also for who has the selfie issue, try to:

- reboot

- once you are on touchwiz, quickly lauch the camera app (double tap home button)

- take a selfie

In my case, it is generating a NORMAL picture. If it is the case for everyone, maybe it is not firmware related, but only the camera app issue.

Then we could help the developer to not waste time working on the firmware side to fix this issue but more on the software side.

Also just for the brainstorming and if it is not firmware related, does somebody tried to take the camera app from the APB9 firmware and port it to APH2 to see if it solve the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
The 1st picture you will take will actually reside in memory correctly. The next pictures that you take after that you'll see black-and-white areas on the photo.

Now if you move the Camera round and take more, on these new pictures you gonna notice that the post processing is being created correctly but it's actually just using your 1st image as its base though it won't overlap correctly with your original image . Once you click on the thumbnail to view your images it will erase the cache of the original image and every image after that will be Black and red
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Serghei._sk:
Travis, thank you for your answer and generally for your hard work here!

Just wanna ask if you had as well Chinese ROM before and shift from it to HK?

Why I asking I want to put standard HK rom as it is most suitable for my needs. But doing this through ODIN it takes problems with service codes.

The other question I haven't seen somebody raised - if any difference to put ROM on 32Gb phone or 64? If I'm not wrong then PIT must be different (as in case with Note3 for ex)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
only difference is firmware that's it. pit works for both and its in the official firmware. I suggest you flash stock HK firmware than enter the service codes you need if you have to do so. I did not so its weird to hear this.

I had chinese firmware when i first bought the phone than I flashed stock HK firmware when I returned home. Than I let it update all the way through. After I compiled twrp myself and flashed my own rom. Note at this time twrp wasn't official. So now you know my story.

If you do need, I can put a stock bloated version up thats prerooted so you can do what you want. Than you can flash whatever rom that tickles your fancy.

So just want to describe the way I did yesterday with G9350 Chinese ROM.

To not to make things easy I took S7edge 64gb, not 32(just to double check if any difference while flashing)

So tooked official G9350 HK ROM, not the last one but the one before. Flashed HK ROM. After this got an issue with service codes which do not want to work.

After this boot in standard recovery and did TWICE factory/data reset. So after this thing service codes became work well, all of them except 319712358 which I think is only for Chinese version of Android.

So for any case flashed once again just Home_csc file (I'm not sure either I saw here or somewhere else the advice to flash CSC twice) Anyway, after a while I got notification OTA update firmware. Updated today through smartswitch. Run all tests (*#0*#,*#7353*#) So far no bugs.

Hope it will be helpful. If any questions you are welcome)

Im going to guess it doesnt work on Aurora 10 if its like V5, since that rom is an N7 port registering as an N7 and will just sit at the samsung screen and vibrate once then three times in my pants all day? Actually that might not be such a bad thing....

ro.product.model=SM-G9350 should fix that. Not sure how that will interact with application downloads for the N7 port though or if it has any dependencies since it is a UX port.

Taking it as high as 3Ghz on the bigs... Found an article on the 820, thought it was an interesting photo to show.

Read up on some more of the overclocking and underclocking that was performed on the SD800 as well. Core speeds were able to go from all the way to 3000mhz and sit at a lower speed than what is currently possible at stock. The GPU was overclocked to 650+mhz and as low as 96mhz.

I figure this would not only provide good performance but provide even more battery life. Keeping the cores at a low speed and tweaking the ramp schedules for the cpu/gpu, utilizing high clocks to complete tasks quicker rather than over a longer steady state.
