GCAM button greys out. - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

I've used most of the gcams including Arnova's V8 and all the other ones and even new ones for pixel 3. Gcam works fine on my zenfone (6gb ram) but most of the time the shutter button turns grey and freezes. This is not for a particular gcam, it happens in all gcams.

Same here.. Happens with me too..
I usually kill it and start again..
Sometime it works some time doesn't..
So I've got backup camera options:
Asus' preloaded & Asus' Sideloaded One (apkmirror Asus camera 5.x.xx)

You mean PixelMaster cam?

Yes, I'm gonna explain this problem & solution in detail here.
This happens only on Potrait mode.
The quick solution to this is.... After you open GCam, change the camera from "rear to front", then again to rear. Then the button Freeze won't happen.
This is some sort of Bug. Because Gcams are ported version of Google based smartphones. Using them on non google based smartphones will obviously cause such minor software bugs...

CM camera app is stable now, although its output leaves a bit to be desired. The only real bug with it now is low volume when recording video. There is a ported version of the ASUS camera app that gives OK results for photos, but video is not working on that.
I am using this apk. thanks dude!

As far as I can tell, identical to the CM AOSP camera app with just the addition of lens blur function (which kind of works, unlike the depth of field mode on the ported ASUS camera app, which crashes on mine). Both the stock and Google apps produce very grainy results though. The ported ASUS app is better.

Thank you so much! Would you happen to know if the ASUS camera works if I pull the APK and use it in CyanogenMod? My new ASUS Zenfone 2 is scheduled to arrive in the mail tomorrow.

I am using it in Cyanogen, someone ported it to work (you can't just download it from the playstore, you need a ported version). If you search the Cyanogen thread on the Zenfone 2 Original Android Development sub-page, you can find the link for it. They got the flash working, and most of the modes (super res, manual etc) seem to function. But as I said, video recording is broken, and the depth of field mode also crashed for me.

I know that mostly Custom ROMs have Snapdragon camera, I was saying that mabye I'll try to use Camera FV-5 on some custom to see if there will be manual focus at least (I don't think there will be focus peaking tho). In MIUI installing FV-5 there's not even manual focus, instead on MIUI camera app there's manual focus and focus peaking too.

After Leaving MIUI 8 and choosing CM13 on my mi4i , i just felt miui camera app is awesome. A d after 2 weeks trying every 3rd party camera app, luckily i found a good alternative to this, and that is OPPO camera mod, you can find oppo camera app searching in threads. That works great but i have downloaded a oppo camera version that looks same as R7 camera app. You can try that searching in forums.

Probably I tried some Oppo camera with my Mi4, but I can't remember well.
I'll definitely give it a try, anyway I guess there will not be focus peaking feature.

Actually, Oppo camera app have more features than miui camera app, like HDR, HD pic (more sturations for cropping), slow shutter (lightning painting), Gif, doubke exposure etc etc... All you need is to download 2 apks, 1 for app 1 for plugins.. thats it. I HAVE UPLOADED 2 CAMERA APP INTERFACE SCREEN SHOTS. THATS Mi4i. CM13

If you enable camera2 api, all apps that support it will work. Otherwise, only MIUI camera has it (proprietary api?).

Using Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 on Oxygen OS 4.0(N) OTA

I was hoping for improved camera software with the new Oxygen OS 4.0(N) OTA release. To my chagrin there seemed to be no improvements made, so as an alternative I downloaded and installed Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 (arm64 version for Android 7.1+)
Get it by clicking on the link below:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...amera-4-2-035-141213305-android-apk-download/
The Google camera app AI appears to be better at determining optimal settings on the fly. The in app photo sphere, panorama, and lens blur features are nice additions too.
I found that if you have the time to make HQ, HDR, and manual mode adjustments, you can still get better pictures with the stock Oneplus version 1.4.0 camera app than the Google Camera app. but most users simply want to point and shoot.
When I give my 3T to a novice to take a picture, or when I need to to take a quick picture in a pinch, I find the Google Camera app takes better photos.
The app works beautifully, aside from the fact I can't get it to open using the button shortcuts after setting it as the default camera app.
Download the Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 (arm64 version for Android 7.1+) app, and tell me what you think.
If you encounter button launch problem too, let me know, or come up with a solution.
When I try to install on my OP3T with OS 4.0 I get an error stating there was a problem parsing package. Installed Google Camera 4.1 without issue though.

Only tried with double tap to the power button and it works. Still rather sad though because no Auto-HDR+ like I was hoping. Still adjusting to the non-nexus life since my Nexus 5x bricked. (^_^)
How were you able to launch 4.2 ?it requires android 7.1 ! (we only have 7.0)
use this
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...06-126161292-2-android-apk-download/download/
You can unpack an APK file change the min version required and repack and install the APK. Although, I'm assuming that the min version requires 7.1 for a valid reason such as a required framework/library or something...

True true. I saw a notification that someone quoted me and replied to it. Long story short, I replied to the wrong one so I didn't mean to reply to you.

But yeah HDR+ doesn't work on the Google camera.

Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 is working, but the spherical photo shoots without focusing.
I like using the double-tap power button to start the camera. Did anyone get the Google camera to open this way? Which version is recommended for OOS 4.1?
The google camera doesn't even have an option to mirror images taken with the selfie cam

Best GCam for Our phone?

Hey, Hi!
I have a X727 using a Oreo Rom (AEX 5.4) and I've have tried some Gxam Mod apps, mainly Arnova's and miniuser's version. Both are great! And I get a beautiful bokeh/portrait effect with both cameras, rear/front.
Just a little issue. Using Portrait mode with front Camera, if there is much light or directly under Light/Sun, the results is a over exposed image, a lot bright and Burn. Some time I got a little bit orange face. This only happens with Portrait Mode and only with front camera. Using front camera without Portrait mode, I get pretty image, not issue there. Rear camera work perfectly Normal/Portrait mode.
My question is, its a front camera fault? If its a hardware/sensor issue, its ok for me. Any setting to fix this or can use another Gcam app? Already I used a lot of them with same results, so I think could be a some of tweak or play with setting... I don't Know...
Thank!
some of gcams allow to change exposure manualy even on front camera. try to lower it and see how it works. and clean the camera too ?

I'm actually using the same rom and have played around with a few different mods. Did you settle on a favorite? So far my fav has been the Arnova pixelmod2 v6. It balanced features and speed for me (I prefer the pixel/zsl mode speed over the nexus 6 mode).

Personally I use, Arnova's v7beta9: Which is the most up to date and provides " a pixel-like experience (portrait mode, motion photos, etc). Doesn't require a camera fix anymore in some phones"

I installed GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.7.apk which I think is almost the same but with fixes. Looks like it's working fine. However what settings do you use ? I kept defaults for now.

I am having issues with the Flash. If I shoot in almost no light when I press the shutter button the flash will fire, it will stay on momentarily and then the app will crash (Camera has Stopped, Open app again). If I leave the flash disabled there are no problems. Also... In complete darkness, if I tap the screen to focus on a particular point the flash should turn on to assist the focus. This just eliminates the ability for me to take 'better' night shots.
Other than that this camera is spectacular. The pictures it is able to produce through the software-hardware combination are really impressive. I also like the fact that that it brings Portrait and Lens Blurr to the camera. Best camera app I have used to date.

I took a look briefly at Camera NX and it seems that Arnova's has a lot more options to fine-tune under Advanced. In the end, it is all about the pictures. Give it a try and post back.
