Can anyone confirm that they are able to take panoramas or photospheres using Google Camera?
My app crashes or hangs after 5+ pictures are taken, and the small crosses seen in the background of each image are on a slant.
I have seen this issue come up elsewhere but it hasn't been confirmed that it's broken for everyone. I saw someone suggest that this can only be fixed at kernel level, does this mean that AK (for example) could implement a fix?
Same basic results here.... Mine won't take the 4th shot in the panoramic. I tried a few times and the last time, it wouldn't do the 3rd shot. The blue dot appears, but when you align the frame to it, it does nothing and you have to close the camera to get out of it.
I'm running stock Oxygen 2.1.1
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I thought I would chime in here by saying that I too cannot take photospheres (running OOS 2.1.1). Is Oneplus ever going to address this?
So I posted this over on Reddit, but then realised that here is probably a better place for more tech users.
I needed to root my OP5 and went through the process.
Now after I've got everything up and running, all my apps installed, and Backups restored - I've noticed something very bad and annoying.
If I use the stock app to take a photo it will take the picture and show it in the gallery preview. But as soon as I try to view that photo using the gallery preview shortcut, or the gallery app, the photo instantly turns completely green.
All other apps take photos fine.
Using stock app Photos work on:
Depth Mode
Normal Mode with HDR Active
Photos are fully green with:
HDR Off
HDR Auto
HQ Mode
Anyone else experienced this?
I really dont want to have to wipe again because it takes over an hour to set up all my accounts and 2 factor auth stuffs...
Just after I wrote this someone on reddit said they had something similar with OP3 - They had to re-flash because of a corrupted build.prop. I rooted to change a bunch of stuff, including editing the build.prop.
I did a little digging and found that if you change the permissions of build.prop then it works.
Changed them to:
Owner - read, write, execute
Group - read
Other - read
Will leave this thread as a reference to others in case anyone else comes across this issue.
Hello guys/girls
I'm having a sort of "bug" when I zoom on or out on Google photos... The zooming seems to be very laggy and slow... Any of you experienced that?
Number firmware?
Nope, works fine in both Google Photos and QuicPick.
Do you mean when you zoom in on the image. First its little blurry and then the details are resolved ( image becomes clear)?
Does this happen on all images?
OR
Images taken by your device
OR
Pics backed up on cloud (google photos backup and you have removed that image from device storage)
If it happens on the downloaded images then what is the resolution?, Size?, Format?
Downloaded images shouldn't cause that bug until and unless image is of very high quality.(taken from professional cameras)
See you left out so many details.
Next time provide more information as it narrows down the cause of the problem. Which in turns gives faster solution.
Regards
Are any v35 users using a gcam mod? If so, can you share which one and your experiences?
Well for 5-th branch hands down the best one is GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18c1.apk and can be found here
Regarding 6-th latest Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800 by Arnova works flawlessly with this XML config.
On a project fi v35, the GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18c1.apk was too laggy for me. I ran 01.MGC_6.1.021_G7_test_v1.apk and was able to snap pictures with front and rear, but the 02.MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_04.02.19.12.54.apk crashed on launch.
Will post a logcat once i can.
Have you properly applied the XML setting (step 8) after installing MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_04.02.19.12.54.apk?
Lag in viewfinder is cause by overloaded buffer in this version which is easily fixable either by applying XML as shown or by enabling the Buffer Fix switch in app Settings.
Nope, after installing the 02 apk, it crashes on launch so I don't get the chance. Tweaked settings w/ the other one and got it working at least, thanks!
You are welcome!
N.B.: If you want to have it working you need to follow the guide up to the letter, so whenever you get bored and want to try again just uninstall the current GCAM, restart your phone and start again.
Do not forgot to take again 2 pictures after installing 1st apk and to properly import the XML settings after installing the 2nd apk and starting it for the first time.

Same problem, I can't do step 8 because the camera crashes when trying to open.
I have LG V30+ H930DS, and I use this two Gcams.
One is 90% wokring (maybe panorama doesnt work) but all other is perfect (wide, noraml, portrait front/back, HDR+, SlowMotion) and its fast. (To chagne between lenses, just hold switch button, it will redirect to settings, after you close settings lense will be changed.
The other one I use only for NightSight. This camera has problem with selfies, they have green tint. It also have Wide/Normal switch, ( just chage between selfie and back camera, and each time ju go back to main camera it will be diferent lense)
I'm satisfied with this phone, for me everything is perfect, but i found LG V35 for good price and I would like to konw if there is somebody with V35 who will try this two Gcams, and tell me does they work properly, or if there is some others which works good, because i wouldn't change V30 for v35 if I can't have good working Gcam.

Thank you for the link. I downloaded, installed and restored the supplied config file for my V35.
Regarding Night Sight, is there a setting to change to fix the choppy motion when moving around the viewfinder?
No way for now on improving Night Sight viewfinder lag.

where is step 8 described? I can find no reference on how to apply this xml config.
Step 8 originates from really old installation guide.
Now you need only to install the camera apk and import the xml settings file.
Where/how to extract the xml file and how to import it afterwards you can check here

Thanks. I must have been downloading wrong version, since double clicking didn't work. Tried again this morning and it works now.
After applying the xml fix to v6.1 camera, it works, but I wouldn't call it "good". It's super annoyingly slow to make pictures. 5.2 also lags substantially, and won't load xml settings. So far, lg camera is hands down better
so... MGC_6.2.030_MI9SE_V4_plus2.apk has been the only version for me that has worked without issue...problem is pictures are not clear. although the viewfinder is fixed with the buffer fix toggle, when taking photos its not quick therefore the pictures blur slightly.
do you all encounter the same and if not which version and configuration has given you a fast shutter?
Here is what I posted on arnova's thread with the suggestion of another member.

thanks...i Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk works for my V35 as it seems BF means it has the buffer fix built in. shame it doesn't allow for zero shutter lag as for phones that don't need a buffer fix. as the OEM camera can take photos super fast.
here are my settings for my LG V35 on Pie on Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk
back camera: Pixel 3 XL
front camera: Nexus 6P
AWBGains Mod: OFF, was causing GREEN photos with it on
RAW FORMAT: RAW_SENSOR
Image Format: JPEG (if i set YUV_420_488 GCam crashes)
P3 wide-color, Wide Color gamut
playing around with Custom Lib Repo by cstark and with Eszdman v2.6 beta 2
image quality is awesome, and no blur upon shutter snap as with other GCams! Thanks @arnova!

Hey everyone, I'm currently exploring some gcam options and I found that the latest Arnova Gcam works great with no lag (it does take a bit longer to capture a photo than it does on my sd820 device) but sadly it doesn't offer wide camera mode.
Now, there is the cstark camera and wide angle mode actually does work, but using the camera is impossible because the preview (you know, the thing you see on your screen before you take a picture) changes once every 5 seconds or something. I tried importing some xmls and that sped it up just a bit but not by much.
Is there some working version that was tested for v35? My v35 is Korean model

I get terrible stutter on the night site with this 6-th and the config file. Any fixes?
You need to be on Pie and you can use Gcam_6.2.030 with working Night Sight without lag.
Camera on my 6t focuses initially, ( when screen touched ) but after "fire" button is pressed, goes out of focus an instant before capturing image. Image is indeed out of focus.
This happens on all of the camera apps I've tried, but does not happen when capturing images within Google Voice, which I use for messaging.
I've looked for info on this problem online, and although I've found a number of other problems mentioned, I've seen nothing on this, specifically.
Screen recording and video below illustrates the problem. Any insights into this issue greatly appreciated!

Finally someone with the sane problem as I! Did you figure out what's wrong. I've tried installing Gcam and OOS camera apks but they fail to open.
Looking forward to your reply.
Open Camera is the only app which reliably focuses for me.
A Solution, Perhaps?

Sorry for the delay. I wasn't monitoring this thread.
I loaded Open Camera, which seems to provide a solution. In the main camera screen, there is a camera icon with a "+". This allows you to select a specific Camera, though I'm not sure exactly what is being "selected". Cameras 2 and 3 seem to work, while Camera 1 has this focus issue.
In addition, in the camera settings, there is an option to select "Camera API". Camera 2 API allows manual focus, something I was looking for. Let me know if this helps...
NBUK

Amazing, that made my day. OpenCamera lets me use either the bottom or the top camera but also the combination of both to produce a blur effect in a similar way to the stock ROM. I didn't think that was possible without stock.
Up until now I would just reboot my phone and the out of focus issue was gone for a little while. This is much better though.
It makes me wonder : I also sometimes have an issue with the flash where the timing is just ever so slightly wrong, i.e the photo is taken just a split second after the light flash, which effectively gives the same result as if the flash was turned off. Again, a reboot fixes it temporarily. Does any of you also have this issue ?
