[Discussion] Camera sources for AOSP/LOS ROMs - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Got my op5 days ago, I'm just loving all the camera features from portrait mode to screen working as front flash.
I did unlock the bootloader and running FreedomOS since day 1, I do wish AOSP and Los roms gave same camera performance. Since it is related to camera blobs and stuff, are well gonna get the sources to get it working, did Oneplus spoke regarding this? Should we sign a petition? Just wondering.

I heard Resurrection Remix has a working OxygenOS camera.

Camera switching

Hi,
I've an OP5 since less than a week, I'm really happy about it. I flashed LineageOS 14.1 and everything seems to be working except the camera switching.
In the Camera app, the switch button allow me to switch through the 3 cameras (the 2 rear ones and the selfie one). However, in some 3rd party app (like Snapchat), trying to switch result in switching between the 2 rear cameras only.
It seems that I'm not the only one to notice this problem but I didn't find anything useful yet.
Probably best to ask in the Lineage ROM thread

camera without HDR in moto G5 plus

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my device. After blinking many different ROMs between 7.1.2 and 8.1.0, I noticed a big difference in my camera when coming back to the ROM stock, it's like there was no more HDR feature, photos when they need to be taken in bright environments are left with spots of light, as well as Oreo cameras that do not yet have quality. What can I do to fix this? I have another G5 + in which I just install ROMs 7.1.2 and compare the camera with my current camera and realize the big difference. Thank you!:confuso:

I can tell you this for sure, i spent last 2 days trying to get a fully functional Gcam to work on my Note 2 and there is no way to do it. Must have tried 3 dozens different Gcams....and a dozen different hacks on how to get them to work. Some work with no HDR some work only back cam some with no Video Camera etc etc.
I'm running Pixel Experience (8.1) Rom that comes with a basic Gcam with no HDR that is the closest to a working cam. I decided to opt for Open Camera that is free fully functional (HDR, DRO and more) video rec works, front and back work and it supports Cam2Api for extra functions. I'd like to get a fully functional Gcam but as far as i know is not possible...yet at least.
The question *WHY* is a very good starting point.
There are almost no phones sharing the quirky SONY imx318 sensor. Just a handful, rather unpopular phones. Which means no development on the gcam, etc.
However, knowing that the Note 2 has a SD821 SoC and a SONY IMX sensor, porting *should* be possible.
(Google Pixel is running an SD821 and a (far superior) SONY IMX sensor)
I forgot to mention that I have Pixel Experience installed and have removed the preinstalled camera first with help of system app uninstaller , before installing the camera. HDR+ works so far.

Proposal to solve the problem of the camera in Oreo ROMs

I just have an idea. And I want to post it here and find if it is possible.
I understand that Moto Z Play has the same camera lens as the Moto G4 Plus.
They have a rear camera OmniVision OV16860, and a front camera OminVision OV5693.
With that said, they share the same hardware in terms of camera.
Is there any way to port the Oreo camera drivers from the Moto Z Play to our devices?
Anybody has tried this?
Thanks.
From the many posts I've read in the forum, the camera issue is connected to our chipset and not the camera hardware. The snapdragon 617 is a pretty sh*tty chipset and all the devices that use them have pretty much zero development and vendor support. I guess those guys are all waiting for athene to get Oreo. Guess we're out of luck. BTW correct me if I'm wrong. At least this'll serve as a bump to this thread.
I Found the perfect combination for a smoth Pie Rom with a totally fast an functionally camera (photos and video) no lag and instant functionally gestures (even instant Chop chop for flash light!)
I am so happy about it!
Since I installed Oreo ROMs I was suffering cause I couldn't use the camera properly and some other functions of my Moto g4+.
I had read that because Qualcomm 617 chipset has very little attention from official developers then the camera shows incompatibilitys and then works wrong in custom ROMs (even in stock rom soak 8.1)
In January 14th they published AOSIP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo.../rom-android-source-illusion-project-t3889942)
In combination of this great Rom and a zip I found to flash in TWRP of Moto camera 2 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/pixel-gapps-rom-t3731231 - find the Moto camera 2 download link) I accomplished what I was trying since I installed Oreo in my device...
This camera probably works in any arm64 Rom... But I love AOSIP so far and that's what I have Install to experiment with the camera zip)
Off course the world isn't perfect so I can't paste url Chrome links in lawnchair (AOSIP it's probably based in some Rom with that problem... Some of then have it and some of them not) but I can live without it for today.
So if you're frustrated because the camera issue of Moto g4 plus... This solve it!
Asus Camera port is also useful. No green images!

Google Camera 6.1 Mod

Guys I have been searching a lot for the latest Google Camera 6.1 Mod, (Pixel 3 one with Nightsight) for AOSP based ROMs, didn't find any.
Please drop a link to the one that you guys are using. preferably a TWRP flashable.
TIA, please be kind, Noob here.
The camera was barely ported with portrait mode and it isn't even working that good. Personally i think we would never the nightsight for our exynos processors, snapdragon maybe?
I'm also looking forward to behaving pixel 3 camera with night sight for galaxy s7 exynos
