Try a 3rd party Camera app mate to see if it is software or hardware

Anything new? How did it end up?
If you have a new phone, you can try as a first step factory reset, if anything is wrong. I did this with every my new Android device, not because there was anything wrong, but as prevention and first step in knowing and understanding my new device better.

help needed
same problem here.. any solution plz???

i use it on the latest xiaomi eu dev. also portrait mode only works with the rear camera, not the front. the front camera is just upside down with no blurr effect and low quality. but maybe its because i have the mi5 api fix installed that fixed the upside down front camera after you installed api2. dont know
what works now with miui android 7 is:
config camera HDR+:
Nexus 5X, Nexus 6 Auto, Nexus 6P, Pixel 2016 Tuning (doesnt crash but has problems saving pictures), Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr PD (doesnt crash but black screen, no connection to photo camere, video works)
everything else crashes.
Model:
Pixel XL(corr), Pixel 2XL, Pixel 2, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X = basically all work fine.

made changes to my post, maybe it can help you.
did you install the newest gcam verson? i have the GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.6 installed.
what is very reliable for me is the configuration:
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6P
Model: Pixel XL(corr)

GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V2.apk
** Please mention me in the thread of your device with a logcat or screenshots.

It works perfectly on Mi MAX 2.
HDR+: Nexus 6p.
Rom: xiaomi.eu 9.2 STABLE
Thank you @Arnova8G2

Using Google camera mod v. 5.1.018.177470874 with xiaomi.eu stable 9.2 and everything works well except slowmo(didn't modify mediaprofiles because that crashes slowmo in miui default camera). Just modified build.prop for camera2api support and the angle of front camera for the upsidedown problem. I use Nexux 6p configs.

Works perfectly for me MIUI 9.2 stable .eu ROM, Nexus 6p configs.

have anyone managed to take astrophotography using mi5? mine isn't working. I have tried many gcam 7.1/7.2 ports, none worked. It shows astrophotography on while mounted to tripod but only takes 8/9 seconds to take picture instead of 4 minutes long exposure. I'm using PE10 rom.

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.

Gcam 5.3.015 keeps crashing

Anyone else experiencing crash upon starting this gcam version?
Any fix maybe?

is your handset rooted so that it support GCam HDR+ yet?
have you tried another version of GCAM? >> https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Yes, every other gcam version works except 5.3.015.

Can't you use other GCams then?

Same here. My device is mido though (note 4x).
All versions work except 5.3 which crashes on startup.
@Arnova8G2

Same here. I've tried all of them and they crash. Any particular reason dear @Arnova8G2 ?

same here. Crashes started with 5.3
Mi A1 Oreo 8.1 July security patch with Magisk root, build.prop has EIS, HAL3

Same here.

Yea the version is not running but dont get why are the not running I too have Mi A1 unrooted.

GCam 5.3 and 6.1 are mostly from the Pixel devices which only use SINGLE rear cameras. I'm guessing the problem with our devices is that it has DUAL rear cameras and the app is having issues making it work while FRONT camera works for both apps.

but Gcam 5.3 version works on Mi A2, must be some other reason. @joeyhuab

Newer chips then? Probably a chipset compatibility? Or a camera quality issue?

yeah may be chipset compatibility, @Arnova8G2 will tell us better. @joeyhuab

Google Camera 4.1.006.135988111 version or lower, its disappointing we cannot use latest feature on samsung galaxy a9, m also confused why samsung didn't enable camera 2 api, were like new company xioami is enabling on there phone, like poco f1...one more thing, samsung should give pro and night mode on this phone also, becoz this phone is special for camera ( Quad camera ), If samsung can't give this feature on this phone then its not worth.

hello pls can you help me. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 updated with android 10 from work. I want to root it just so that I can use Google camera but in 2 years be able to unroot it to give back to office.
