(Guide) Camera flash fix \weird green photo fix nougat (UPDATED HAL2 TOO)

HI,
i'm on the lastest Nitrogen Os rom. The rom is fantastic, despite the camera that act weird and it's too much instable (i have those problem on all Nougat Roms).
I found a Workaround to fix flash and camera derps (green\black photos).
Camera hal2 derps:
Derp1
Derp2
Roms with stablest camera i've tested: NitrogenOs, Dirty Unicors, Caf Aosp, CitrusCaf.
First, download (or buy) Snap Camera HDR Trial from playstore. Than go to:
-settings
-other
-scroll down to use camera2 API, tap and select force hal1 (if you can't, download a previous Snap Camera version, like 8.2.6)
-reboot
-done
UPDATE:
SNAPCAMERA HAL2 by @Shaky156 (Tested on Dirty Unicorns 7.1 by @poad42, if you try to other roms feel free to say if it works or not).
Use this camera if you want to avoid camera hal1. To avoid Camera switch crash, wait until focus finish. Expect more app crashes.

FOR VIDEOS:
-FOOTEJ CAMERA
FLASH FIX
FLASH FIX UPDATED
(tx to @hichaam, @Umang96)
This will fix camera in Nougat Roms?
-No\Yes. Only updated camera blobs can hard fix. But camera is STABLE now with hal1.
So why i should do that?
-If you make photos, this fix green screen and flash problems. But kills video in snap camera.
-For my phone, this is a STABLE way to make photos, as i like to shot pics with it.
Also expect some crash when opening to much camera apps. <--- fixed in last NitrogenOS
This is a workaround, we can't do nothing until xiaomi relases Android 7.0, or some other brand with sk5p3 camera sensor ( Ulefone Future, Samsung C series, Vernee Apollo Lite) do.
PS a copy of my post in other trhead:
CAMERA FLASH\RANDOM REBOOTS FIX:
-INSTALL NITROGEN OS (MAYBE WORK IN OTHER ROMS, BUT I VE TRIED IT ON NITROGEN, SO..)
-DOWNLOAD SNAP CAMERA HDR
-ENABLE IN SETTINGS FORCE HAL1
-REBOOT APP
-ENJOY YOUR FULLY FUNCTONIG CAMERA
FOR VIDEO:
-DOWNLOAD FOOTEJ CAMERA
-MAKE VIDEO
-- don't make videos with snapcamera because won't work.
Its important for you (until you answer to me: camera is working dude, even with api2.0 blablalba) that api2.0 are INSTABLE. They work for limited times, and 80% of times you get no flash, no manual ISO, reboots etc. Camera HAL1 will make our camera STABLE again, with flash synced in EVERY photos you makes. Only Videos won't work with HAL1 in Snap Camera HDR.
Also in snap camera you will find some interesting goodies for our crappy cameraphone. Its important that you will enable:
-ZERO STUTTER LAG (your device will capture the image at over9000 speedo)
-LENS SHADING (it gives better image quality in borders)
-MEMORY COLOR ENCHANE (better colors)
-DENOISE (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
-Sharpness -2 (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
So yes.. try it, for me its working for 2 weeks now.

Try to make multiple photos with flash. You will notice that camera can't sync it, or it will not start at all. Even with Footej camera i have Weird green screen, like many others.

I just tried in the dark room with flash on and auto focus on with footej and did about 20 shots, always worked...guess im lucky...but on all other ROMs it did not work or recording failed...

I'm also using Footej camera & NOS (01.23). I didn't edited anything. Video record is okay, and the flash also in photo mode.

Flash in N roms works 70% of times first time u open camera (even less sometimes). It's a common problem of all roms because camera sources. This is the method to assure 100% working flash\camera with all tryng. Its normal that if you take 2 photos here and there, you will notice nothing. I take 40-50 photos a week with this phone (even more), so i need stable camera. And i can assure you that this is the only method that works until now with nougat.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Download "MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.2_Android-7.0+" that version is working vor me. You have to enable portrait mode manually in Settings:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog24/
You have to activate portrait shooting mode as an extra mode (like time lapse for example). Note that its until now only processing actual faces, not objects.
That version is working fine on my stock ROM.
Edit: Before someone asks: No, front facing camera is not working in this version.

Does someone tried this? Is it working?
And if it does - do you just install the apk or do U need to flash it via twrp?
THanks in advance
Regards

G6 pixel 2 portrait mode
Hey guys, the link provided does not work for me.

Hi, tried google camera ported by scrubber. Its really stable and portraits are really good.
Got it from youtube link below. It workd flawlessly on Indian unit H870DS unit.
Stable Google cam port for LG G6 7.0
Also for BSG google camera port, below is the video for stable settings on LG G6, tried this one also but front cam portrait is not working on LG G6 in BSG port.
BSG port stable settings

There is a fully stable all feature packed google camera port for our lg g6 device
This is second version
Changelog:
HDR+ settings quality
Code optimization
Features-:
Portrait mode works on front and rear camera
Front and rear hdr+ works
No force closes
No random crashes
Great speed in both hdr+ and portrait mode processing
Super stable. :good:
A developer named scrubber developed this.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LHDBADl34vlmHmRYcWQcwxQXGct5ox-n

If these features can be done purely via the software, you wonder why LG can't implement something similar... but then we have no news on oreo so that might be too much to ask.

Amazing quality! (uses scrubber port)
I compared stock and Google camera and the result is obvious.
Not only in quality but also in filesize (with same pixel count of course...):
Stock = 6.260 KB
Google = 3.805 KB
https://ibb.co/mX28mm
(zoomed in, took screenshot and saved with 100% jpg quality)

Ho do you use portrait mode with the rear camera? It works with the front, but don't get the options with the rear.

Thank you dude for your attention to non mi5 users... Much much appretiated... We've noticed that portrait mode doesn't work on our device.... I'm personally running PureFusion OS 8.0 with latest app version which is 1.5beta...
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs

Thank you @Arnova8G2 so much for responding to Thread that is Not Mi5 actually HTC 10 have good Hardware and we wonder why the Gcam doesnt work so good like in Other devices.
For me the only Version that work on Android Nougat Sense Based ROM is Arnova 1.2 based on 5.18 Gcam this is the best build so far only the Front Camera doesnt work crashesh on this build and the Slow Motion but this is not important
I hope we to have just one one Build that will be able to work smooth without crashesh to use the Google Camera potential
for Portrait Mode and all other stuffs for now are just Dreams for HTC 10

Is there anyone with working portrait mode?? (htc 10 Android 7.0)

@Arnova8G2
I found a Gcam port that WORK Superb on Nougat 7.0 Sense HTC 10 ROMs.
Everything is super no laggs at all the front facing camera is working too with HDR+ the Back as well. Auto no config settings all is auto.
The Camera UHD 1080 720 everything work perfectly fine and smooth!
RAW is working too.
The only thing that is not working but is there is the Portrait just gives me a black screen.
The App is using Huawei Marker so we can have this as a base because its seems superb fast camera.
Tonight will upload it when i come back home.
This that will make this apk BEST port of the Gcam for HTC 10 is
to adjust the JPG quality to 100%
and if posible to try fixing the Portrait mode!

I feel like soon we can have a Working Gcam
if anyone is familiar with Android Studio so ever and cant lower the API
i think this build can work on HTC 10 since We have already all the hardware needed
But the API is 25 this mean Android 7.1 and above.
So can anybody make it API 24 ?

I did try gcam... it starts but potrait mode crashes... hdr+ might work fine... i never clicked a pic, cz i am not very image friendly! however, the mode can be switched on..

I installed linage 15.1, 64 bit, android 8.1 and tried nearly all cameras but all camera are crashing.
I think it's due to the ROMs not supporting stock camera app. So no portrait mode for us!

I tried several ports. While the mode can be switched on, taking a photo doesn't process HDR+ and the outcome of the image is either green (Every second picture taken is green) or is a normal SDR picture.

I've tried both AICP and Pixel and couldn't get working portrait mode..
Using 32bits ROM will NEVER make us possible to use portrait mode. On other chance, using 64bits Rom there is a CHANCE it'll work in the future.

I'm going back to InvictaOS. Oreos ROM aren't optimized yet. Give it a month

Just for information:
The portrait mode is just a software feature that makes the background blurry. So take a picture and use any photo editor out there and make a mask with blurry background for example. Or use photo apps that can make this.
Phones without telephoto lens or without an big sensor won't be capable of making this without software tricks. And even then you need some distance between the object and background to get blurry background. That's called a low depth of field.

Anyone got it working?

...Look at the previous replies holy crap.

have patience! remember we still have only stock nougat so oreo ROMs are going to be buggy... 64 bit ROMs will go better... and will be useful ones they are stable.. i did notice that they are more fluid than others...but that's just my observation or my way to use it.
There will be more things that you might come across...ones things are good
You can also use normal Gcam with lens blur feature... it does the same thing and is very stable. The portrait mode was in pixel given the fact its camera has wide aperture and hence the portrait mode is effect is created. hence its price!
---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------
if you really want to take good pictures! use Invicta OS hal3 version and the stock moto camera app.. it does great job!
