After finally receiving Pie today, my Gcam doesn't work correctly anymore. What I mean by this it's that it can't focus properly.
Otherwise the app opens, it doesn't crash, and this phenomenon occurs only on the rear camera while taking a photo. Video focusing works, front camera focus works.
Any ideas?
December 5 security patch
Android 9
From Arnova's mods to the lates 6.1 Gcam versions, I was affected by this phenomenon
Well, I lost Hal3 during the process.. so GCam doesn't work at all. I'm trying to enable Camera2 API, but it didn't work so far. I've seen tutorials on how to do it through adb, but just doesn't do anything.
Try this
-First of all install (Camera2 API Probe)
Open it and check hardware support level (probably it's show LEGACY)
- Now install (Camera2 API Enabler)
open the app and enable:
- Enable Camera2 API
- Enable Camera EIS
Then apply
-Restart your phone
-Open Camera2 API Probe again (you must see new result as the attachment)
Now open your GCam and voila!
I will have problems with gcam if I upgrade to pie without a factory reset?

I can confirm, that tap to focus does not work at all. All I get is out of focus picture in the viewfinder and that's all. Stock camera app works great, though.
Thread moved to the correct location.
Thanks for being careful next time.

it says it's Level_3 already. But GCam still isn't working properly, after several reinstalls etc.
Same thing as @airidosas252 said!

So how about getting hal3 and eis enabled without root? Because I followed the guides in this forum. Go into TWRP and perform all the adb commands. Still Legacy...

It's still Level_3 for me.. I guess we gotta wait for the guys with exp to figure it out..
bsg test 8.1 version works. selfie camera quality is sheit though. Also, portrait mode doesn't. But night sight does, which is nice!
false alarm, bsg 8.1 works for normal pics, but night sight has the same focus hunting issue as other apps
Guys. My wife's A1 had camera2 api enabled through that method that unlocks bootloader, enter the TWRP, change the build.prop line and after relock the bootloader. No root or TWRP installed.
If she update the system to pie, does it will edit again build.prop reverting Level 3? At least I saw mixed experience here with people saying the two things.

In my case after upgrading to pie, the level 3 persisted, so no need to do anything else.
However, the gcam ports do not work well as in oreo. Mostly problems with autofocus and selfie camera

Am I the only one who is getting worst images, cannot focus or even getting blurry photos? Everywhere, from instagram to stock camera, even I tried gcam, still blurry photos. I'm on april build. I need to restart every time when I want to take a pic, it works for awhile and then again goes to blur.
I have yet to install that april update
- Did you root ?
- Had magisk installed ?
- Enabled Camera2 API persistant ?
if yes then by magisk or adb shell terminal / property files ?
Nope.
Never rooted, Enabled Camera2 api using rootless method and no! Never tried magisk on this device.
Have you tried reflashing the ROM?
And then try clicking with and without Magisk and other mods and cameras?

Me too since january update to Pie. It's a common bug since Pie update. i'm on stock , no root nor bootloader unlock. That's a pity, camera is not usable since January, cannot autofocus nor manual focus . Only camera 2x seem not to be affected. (already tried factory reset) This topic is popular on the web , but xiaomi seem not to listen us. So sad , didnt want to buy a new phone. I was really satisfied with mi A1 since 2017.

Its okay if you use gcam as you mentioned, but I dont know why it does in stock cam or instagram. Because when using stock ROM, in my case you can't take full res photos with gcam, u need to take 16:9 photos as there works autofocus.
So we have someone replying 1 year later that he got same issue... last year was post Oreo, now we are post Pie, there has been 1 update per month.... not sure all this is related?
Anniversary bug. Good to see Xiaomi keeps dates sacred
Just used oreo, mi a1 on pie is trash, oreo has no issues and you don't need Android 9 anyway

ps : i know its a dumb question , but i'm not modding since two years (i was on nexus 5 and it was easier ). i have unlocked bootloader now . what's next ? Can't find an easy guide to flash twrp .
Tbh, I've noticed it too. I'm on PE CAF and after flashing April modem patch, the camera won't focus on touch. I'm lost.

I tried using the stock oreo rom after the pie update, but kept facing this issue- https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/secondary-sim-issues-downgrading-stock-t3911288
Did you face the same issue?
Dear All,
I've gone through various threads just to realize that there's not one APK for Google camera which works perfectly on One Plus 5.
I'd greatly appreciate if anyone here can help me with a perfectly working GC APK link.
Note: I'm running my OP 5 on stock ROM.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry the last link it's wrong.
Correct link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
For me its the best version of all apks and dont need any configuration only you need install .
None work flawlessly, and unless OP makes some changes it won't be possible to have a fully functional GCam without system changes (root or at least an unlocked bootloader would be required). The camera library files from OP are 'customized' in ways that make them not fully compatible with the Camera2 API that GCam depends on. Devs here have been working hard to band-aid it, but only so much can be done by modding the GCam apk to work around the libs. Changing the libs to match GCams needs currently breaks compatibility with OP features (Face Unlock specifically). The ideal for us as users is that OP updates the libs to support full Camera2 and also keeps their own propriety additions in place so that everything can work.
Sorry, front camera in portrait mode or HDR+ make an horrible pink images with lines.
Really frustrated.
Back camera with portrait and HDR+ works fine; the problem starts with frontal camera
I'm the only?
The modded GCam app is horrible, portrait mode not working, slow motion as well and the image quality is worse
Check this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76543768&postcount=2927
If you install the magisk/twrp mod for front cam and hdr+ fix with pixel2mod 7beta9 (file name GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk), you actually have an almost fully working (and arguably better than oos) camera app. Only thing remains missing is the slowmo and 60fps video modes, which you can still achieve using the oos camera.
Hi.
Is it possible to enable Camera2 API (for manual camera settings) on the ZTE Axon 7 Mini (LineageOS 14.1/Android 7.1.2)?
I tried to enable it by modifying the build.prop file adding this line at the end:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
After the reboot it passes all the tests of the Manual Camera Compatibility app but when opening any camera app (Open camera or LOS's stock) an error message appears and indicates that it is not possible to establish a connection with the camera.
The error message is solved after deleting the added line and rebooting.
The camera section of the build.prop file is the following:
Code:
# Camera
camera.hal1.packagelist=com.skype.raider,com.google.android.talk
camera.lowpower.record.enable=1
camera.display.umax=1920x1080
camera.display.lmax=1280x720
media.camera.ts.monotonic=1
persist.camera.stats.test=5
Maybe there are some more tweaks needed.
Thanks in advance.
I found only this
haoyangw said:
To all who came here hoping to use Google Camera HDR+ port, for the last time, it will NOT work on the Axon 7. Stop trying, it's impossible to get it to work. As mentioned above, our kernel lacks proper HAL2 API support, so the Nexus 6 HDR+ mode doesn't work. You either cause Google Camera to force close, or the pictures you take will appear the exact same as without HDR+(if you somehow managed to get it to work). A lot of people have tried in other threads and confirmed that the HDR+ mode doesn't work so don't try to be a genius and think that with some luck magic will happen. Devs have looked into the kernel code and found that proper Camera2 API code is missing. Unless you are better than the devs here, and think you can implement Camera2 API yourself, I suggest you either contact ZTE to request for proper Camera2 API support, or just give up. You don't just plant a flag in your build.prop and then cause an API to work, your software has to support it. The manual controls that are enabled by Camera2 API work with the build.prop flag because ZTE used some hacks to implement only those features and not the full Camera2 API. So having manual controls doesn't mean anything. Please stop spamming this thread about trying Google Camera Port, thank you. Just use non-HDR+ mode, if you really want a good camera buy another phone that has been confirmed to work with the Google Camera port like OnePlus phones. Or get the Google Pixel yourself

My apologies, my post was only relevant for non-B12 ROMs. ZTE has fixed Camera2 API in B12 so if you flash the B12 Beta Mifavor, LOS 15.1 or latest AEX(after June) you'll be able to use HDR+! I have tested it myself and it works My sincere apologies for the stern tone and very pessimistic words, I was wrong. ZTE does care a lot(they're even implementing Treble)

Sadly I don't think ZTE cares anymore for the mini. And the dev community for this phone isn't as active as it used to, as everyone's busy with their own lives i guess.

Slow motion not working.
Video recording UHD4K not working.
Video recording 1080p 60fps is over zoomed.
Night sight working but viewfinder is not working, green screen.
Frontal camera detected as 5 MP only.
Should I be rooted?
If I install the magisk module, do I alter system partition? Or maybe lose OTA?
Thanks in advance.

If you have time, convert to 6X and flash Carbon PIE ROM. Latest version is two days old, and Pixel 3 gcam port is stable, no crashes. In general this ROM is much better than stock, battery life is solid. Compared to stock Pie ROM, 4K recording and slow motion do not work in Gcam, but I am using Snap Cam for 4K recording with EIS. In summary Carbon PIE is best ROM so far for A2/6X, you have some customization compared to stock and have double tap to wake, and most importat for me, Pixel 3 camera port is working like a charm
@Mr.Nice.ba, to much hustle for another variant of pie rom, and I must say, I am very pleased how stock PIE works for now, maybe I'm not demanding user after all...but thanx for proposal.
Perfect mod.
Thanks, @Gleison lima!

Is it possible to have the 20 mp front on google camera? what i understand is that is a camera2api limitation, am i alright?
Anyway, thanks op for the mod, i really like it. Just a question, is it possible to get a raw file with night sight? i don't know if its possible with pixel 3, just asking. Again, thank u :highfive:
I just installed the camera.apk and the camera crashes right away. Do I need to install the magisk module?
UPDATE..I FLASHED THE MAGISK MODULE WOOOORRRKKINNGG.
Night sight is working and viewfinder also working for me. Haven't tested anything else. Just received Mi A2 today and already sideloaded pie and installed magisk and enabled gcam.

If you mean ram then 6 gb, if you mean software it's latest stock December patch.
Actualy i flashed latest december firmware update from asus official from the previous 2018 february update the file size for the update was 1.5gb is that a problem that is skipped the update between february 2018 and december 2019( i just flashed the latest because of the each firmware update consist of file size 1.5gb)
Ok i have found the solution
The problem is fixed by enabling and disabling the camera 2 api on max pro m1 by fasboot method
If you dont know fastboot method try referring
This link
Command for diasable camera2 api is
fastboot oem enable_camera_hal3 false
After a reboot check camera 2 api( should be disabled on that check )
Then again enable by fastboot method
Command for enabling camera 2 api is
fastboot oem enable_camera_hal3 true
This worked for me and hope worked for every one who face this kind of issues
