Root CM12 Camera Problems

Hi.
I have a problem with my camera on the cm12 rom. I got the rom on my phone by following the steps here.
All was okay, had a few problems with apps crashing constantly, phone boot looping like 3 or 4 times in a row, low speaker volume, and more. But I just reinstalled and it fixed those problems greatly.

Now I am having more problems. I cannot record video at all. Using the default camera app, I try to record videos and they just don't save. Looked around for help. Video is 1080p, there is no 4k.

Also, in Snapchat, when I record a video, it will let me record up to the full time, but as soon as I let go, the video turns into a picture of the last scene of my video. Videos are low quality even. This is total crap and I'm on Snapchat 56% of my day, so if I can't use Snapchat correctly I would rather go back to stock 4.4.1 on my LG Volt from Boost Mobile.

I don't want to do this as I am already in love with Cyanogenmod after only one day, so please tell me there's a fix to this, and my low volume problem too. Apps still crash, however it was wayyyyy more often before, even thought I'd still like a fix to this.

Little about my phone:

Its a problem with all lollipop roms for the volt. None save video as they are all cm based. Why would there be 4k video recording options? The volt doesnt have the hardware to record in 4k? Not sure why you are surprised it doesnt have that option. 4k video isnt a software option you need the hardware to do it also. Thats like saying the option isnt there to take pictures at 21 megapixels either. No no its not. The camera isnt capable of that nor is it capable of shooting 4k video.

I'm not worried about 4k video ._. I feel like you're trying to come at me wrong. If you don't have an answer for my question, I don't need your input. If you wanted to know, since it's the main thing you talked about in your irrelevant comment, I did research and some people were saying to switch the video from 4k to 1080p and it might fix the problem. I realize I maybe should've stated why I mentioned 4k in the original post, because of people like you. I also realize I was reading a forum for another phone, where they mentioned to switch from 4k, so I thought I might inform anyone that might suggest to switch from 4k so as to not waste their time. Like you did mine.

If you werent so ignorant in your response youd see i answered your question just fine. All lollipop roms dont save video for the lg volt. All have that problem. In fact in the other post you posted the same question in if you actually took the time to read up one post above you you would see the developer say still does not save video. This includes snapchat. Since all lollipop roms for the volt are cm based all have this issue. Instead of acting ignorant becuase someone gives you an answer you dont like maybe take the time to realize the information people give you is there to help and actually read what they say. How do you think snapchat works? It temp saves a short video clip you make then instantly sends it out. Without the ability to save any video at all it will turn it into a picture. Noone can help you. Sorry. Want video use a stock rom. Have a good day.

Nice. You maybe could've said this in a nicer way before and I wouldn't have been offended. You can offer help to someone with little knowledge of these things without the tone you used in the first comment. But you're totally right, and my ignorance wasn't called for. I apologize for it. You have a nice day too.
