Edit: it appears you lose panoramic and most effects don't seem to work but most effects in my previous camera didn't work for me either. Although effects are lost saturation and core adjustments function. May or may not be worth it to you but you can simply pull your camera apk out of the rom you are using before you install if you are very concerned about being able to revert. Maybe even uninstall updates for camera will fix it but I cannot confirm as I haven't tried.
Now, I have had a few reboots using my camera on mik g and with both stock kernel and freedom kernel. I do not blame the rom or kernel as both are fantastic and I support the development teams completely.
But as it stands reboots are annoying. I have been trying and will continue to test cameras until it stops lol.
I recently extracted the camera apk from bliss 3.5 and installed it. It currently has suffered 0 reboots and actually seems to startup and snap pictures faster and cleaner w less blur even while moving. I am a,big fan of our camera but a gripe is low light (hardware related) and ability to quickly take pictures in focus. So far I would recommend this to anime having issues or just willing to give it a go.

I used root explorer to find this file after I downloaded, and simply selected install. Many methods can be used to install. I didn't need to reboot. It was immediate.
No HDR or Panoramic? Not sure that HDR ever did anything but Panoramic was nice
No crashes so far. Thanks for this.
Does it snap pics faster for you or am I crazy? I'll update the post to mention panoramic being lost.
It is faster. A lot of the effects aren't working though.
How I installed:
1. Reboot to recovery.
2. Enable US-MS
3. adb shell
4. mount /system/
5. rm /system/app/HTCCamera.apk
6. push BlissHTCCamera.apk /system/app/HTCCamera.apk
7. chmod 644 /system/app/HTCCamera.apk
8. reboot
Same here but only effect that seemed to work for me before hdr and panoramic. I just need a good functioning fast camera that works. If anyone using happens to get a freeze and reboot please post up
I did an uninstall updates to revert back to my old camera, worked fine.
Nice good to know!
Hi, take a look at these photos, the bright one was taken yesterday and the other today. There is an enormous difference between these two shots, although I used the exactly same modes - full auto in OOS 4.5.14 camera. I found out that the flash in the Google Camera (photo with the cat) works much better (like the stock one did yesterday...).
Do you know any solution to fix the stock camera flash?
Cheers
First clear the app data of the camera app. If it doesn't work then go to apk mirror and download a better version of OnePlus camera.
I have created a Magisk based DIY GCAM port for our 10's. Basically, it installs everything you need for it to work, and you try/select whatever GCAM you think works the best. All this will do is enable the extra features for GCAM
***SLOMO NOT WORKING ON OREO FOR ME***
Prerequisites:
2.xx.xxx.xx Nougat Stock sense, not sure about LOS or others (you can try, no guarantees).
3.xx.xxx.xx Oreo Stock sense, not sure about LOS or others (you can try, no guarantees).
Magisk 15.0 or newer (Uses 1500 template)
No Other GCAM installed (remove any prior to flashing magisk module)
REMEMBER TO SET ALL SETTINGS AND FC ONCE BEFORE USE!!!!!
What it does:
It replaces media_profiles.xml in system/etc : this allows for HEVC and 60fps
Oreo Version
It adds ARCore and ARStickers to system/app
It sets ro.config.calibration_cad=/system/etc/calibration_cad.xml
It adds res_ctrl.conf to system/etc
it updates all the various .xml files that have media settings within them
This is a free-for-all zip, meaning i dont care if you modify it, pass it off to other groups, help anybody else, etc.
I am not responsible if you get your phone messed up, it works for me, and for others. I will help as much as i can. Its a work in process, hopefully, it will make life easier for everybody. This is really close to being a DD, i will try other GCams as i find time. Im really waiting for Oreo on VZW, then ill really get into it. (AR Stickers, etc.)
Also, this is a HTC 10 thread, and while i dont mind helping people (I want everybody to have a working GCAM) this magisk module, especially the media_profiles.xml is very very very 10 specific. You can however, do the legwork, use this zip as a template, and make one for your threads/personal use as well. And i dont mind. Just dont come in here without a logcat with some phone that's not a 10 and say its broke. I will at least look at a logcat and help if its not a 10, but my demands have been expressed.
Also, for those with a 10.. Dont come in here and tell me its broke, not tell me anything relevant, have no logcat, and expect a fix...you will be meme flamed for my amusement...You have been warned. You should know better at this point!!!
Thanks

Changelog/Bugs:
DIY GCAM MODS: Everything but GCAM, Pick the one you like the best and use this mod to get the extras to work.
V31: Version back to 2 revs. 1: Skulshady V3.0, portrait works (6p or pixel 2017 zsl hdr +, that one has low light bug still), Tolyan009 v1.3.5, portrait doesnt work, more options (needs alot of configuration, pixel 2, 2017 pixel zsl hdr+ new, black level 64, hdr+ control on, turn off use google photos in debug settings)
V30: Oreo and Nougat: Added HEVC Back in, Removed Lens (Built into photos now), some people say slomo works in oreo now, you tell me Uses Arnova V7B6 Camera...too bad it's junk......
V28: Cleaned up media_profiles_vendor.xml and added HEVC support. (Slo-Mo at least loads the viewfinder now, getting warmer )
V24: Low Light/Flash Bugs fixed, increase sharpness might be better, still no slo-mo
V23: Same oreo bugs
v8 Nougat: Updated to arnova pixel2mod v6b14, probably the last good one
v8 Oreo: Initial release, has b14, and AR stickers, need someone to test it on oreo.
v7: 99.98% works, only "little" bug is if you take a low light/room is completely dark photo (front and rear), very rarely, but sometimes the camera app crashes.
v1: Initial release
Bugs: No front HDR, Slo-mo crashes went set to 240fps (120 is fine), can only take picture with hdr+ enhanced on for rear, view finder is a little slow for portrait mode rear.
V28: To ease confusion, 6P works with everything it appears, 2017 Pixel HDR ZSL has some issues in low/no light still (wanna help, PM @tsalta )
V24: Either works i believe
V23: I use nexus6P, you can use pixel 2 as well
v8: Use nexus 6P, it all works, you can use 2017 pixel zsl HDR+, but it will FC in dark/no light using flash.
How to modify the zip for your a new gcam:
1. uninstall gcam mod
2. reboot
3. Install gcam of your choosing
4. using root browser, copy directory from data/app containing google camera directory.
5. take the contents of that folder, copy the contents to the zip file, in system/app/GCAM, replace the contents in there.
6. reflash zip with new gcam
thank for share

Hello dude i see you are starting like you sayd befor im just wondering what version you used like a base?
Arnova 1.6 or maybe 1.2 ?
Just wondering
Thanks for the Share will test it now!
Edit: Yes 1.6 i guess or perhaps 1.7 but the feel is like more 1.6
Yes this is the most stable build with all the options that we can have the only one thing we gona miss is the Pixel 2017 HDR+ ZSL the ZSL works only with this presets and since the new versions it doesnt work anymore the last time was worked fine on V 1.2

well i can take pictures with HDR+ and HDR+ Enhchanced from the Back camera so it is working fine not bug.
Also the Front HDR+ is working what i mean is it is made to work only In portrait MOD so when you shoot Portrait with the Front and you have HDR+ portrait camera enabled will get the effect this is how the build is mean to work so you can remove this from the Bugs it is not actually a bug.
Slow mo crashes on stock Oreo
And also 60fps does not work

Arnova 1.7 beta 1
It will only take pics on hdr+ if it decides hdr should be used. If you turn hdr off, it won't work.
Yea, I'm aware of the work around for front hdr+. But you can't just have hdr+ on the front camera in normal mode. So it's a bug still until we find a better alternative camera that works.
You can be the tester @tsalta if you like. I explained how to put different GCAMS in the magisk zip, so you can find the perfect version.

Yes im planing to make one version same with 1.6 because 1.6 is more stable than 1.7 beta ad 1.7 in 1.6 will take pictures always with HDR+ or Enchanged whatever you want from the back camera.
and i think 1.6 is one idea faster no freeze slownes on the viewfinder
Los Ron (rr), HDR working, portrait mode too, but slow motion mode not
Thanks anyway)
@aer0zer0 i was planing to make another version but after alot of test the most stable build that work is 1.7 Beta 1 so thanks for the share.
I mean compared to the Other builds that have Portraid mode if not 1.2 is the most stable
Like ive sayd many times every build have some advantage and dissadvantages for example 1.2 is super fast and stable also has working Pixel config with ZSL in other hand do not have POrtrait
Well above 1.6 they have everything but the pixel config is not working and no ZSL at all.
Also i have some other builds that are Not Arnova diferent from different russian sites and i had the best Front + HDR+ mod and take amazing HQ selfies but only this is the advantage of the mod.
if we have somehow to make a mix like frankenstain from the mods we know who is best and work perfect to make One build that include all the things.
Thanks for the Magisk Module.

You have a 10, right? The only thing I can think of is media_profiles.xml is not in the right spot.

Yes it is media Profile xml i never ever had Slow Mo to work no matter of the presets in best case just freeze and i found out that this heppand only in Viper Magisk ROM people who are with Lee Droid v 4 have Slow Mo working so im pretty sure its ROM related and thats why i leave it thats way i get tired of trying to fix it and just waiting the OREO.
@tsalta have you tried older builds, like in the 1.4s I would sacrifice portrait mode for clean front and rear camera implementation. The 10 was my daily driver till I got a essential phone mid September. So I haven't messed with it much. Are the bsg versions any good?

You have to add Google's preset media configs to media_profiles.xml that's how it works. 240 fc, since the sensor can't handle it.

I have the google preset for the slow motion but same the viewfinder freezes imideately when i press slow motion.
Anyway in the Magisk version u provide you have media profile xml with the settings and is the same if you have another idea how to add this google media configs let me know or write me them here to chek what i have now to see if they differ.
About the Gcam Mods.
I tested all of them by all i mean even builds that are not even listen on XDA.
for me Arnova 1.2 is one of the best for us because its fast and all HW levels are added to support level 3 so we HTC 10 users and many other devices that have and can handle camera 2 api have HW level 3 support.
In the 1.2 Bold Red build from Arnova even the Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+ preset work in all conditions i never had a single crash there shooting day and night, the only one downside is that there is no Portrait MODE.
Another info like i mentioned befor i had one Build if you wish will upload it that it has the Most amazing fron Shooter with HDR+ it is based on BSG build but edited by some Russian folk from 4pda i used this mod only because of the front facing camera a slefie is about 5 mb in size Crisp and clear like you shoot it with back camera.
Other than that one of my Favorite as well is the ArtZ based Mod that is Pixel based Version 2.
Have everything working ZSL all is set to use Pixel configs have a Portrait Mod working and so on.
The only problem with this build is like i explain several times befor shooting in the dark when there is not Object to focus the app force crash it is somthing related to the Focus plus the Flash it is like the Flashligh do not work properpy in synhron with the Focus and the HDR+
but for a day and good light photos i got the best pictures with this ArtZ MOD.

Try this out just set up the camera on 1st run for Max Quality and shoot with the Front Camera in Good Light condition.
If we have somehow to see what settings use this apk for the front to implement in the 1.7 regular front will be Awesome.

Works perfect here, what rom are you on?
Are any v35 users using a gcam mod? If so, can you share which one and your experiences?
Well for 5-th branch hands down the best one is GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18c1.apk and can be found here
Regarding 6-th latest Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800 by Arnova works flawlessly with this XML config.
On a project fi v35, the GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18c1.apk was too laggy for me. I ran 01.MGC_6.1.021_G7_test_v1.apk and was able to snap pictures with front and rear, but the 02.MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_04.02.19.12.54.apk crashed on launch.
Will post a logcat once i can.
Have you properly applied the XML setting (step 8) after installing MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_04.02.19.12.54.apk?
Lag in viewfinder is cause by overloaded buffer in this version which is easily fixable either by applying XML as shown or by enabling the Buffer Fix switch in app Settings.
Nope, after installing the 02 apk, it crashes on launch so I don't get the chance. Tweaked settings w/ the other one and got it working at least, thanks!
You are welcome!
N.B.: If you want to have it working you need to follow the guide up to the letter, so whenever you get bored and want to try again just uninstall the current GCAM, restart your phone and start again.
Do not forgot to take again 2 pictures after installing 1st apk and to properly import the XML settings after installing the 2nd apk and starting it for the first time.

Same problem, I can't do step 8 because the camera crashes when trying to open.
I have LG V30+ H930DS, and I use this two Gcams.
One is 90% wokring (maybe panorama doesnt work) but all other is perfect (wide, noraml, portrait front/back, HDR+, SlowMotion) and its fast. (To chagne between lenses, just hold switch button, it will redirect to settings, after you close settings lense will be changed.
The other one I use only for NightSight. This camera has problem with selfies, they have green tint. It also have Wide/Normal switch, ( just chage between selfie and back camera, and each time ju go back to main camera it will be diferent lense)
I'm satisfied with this phone, for me everything is perfect, but i found LG V35 for good price and I would like to konw if there is somebody with V35 who will try this two Gcams, and tell me does they work properly, or if there is some others which works good, because i wouldn't change V30 for v35 if I can't have good working Gcam.

Thank you for the link. I downloaded, installed and restored the supplied config file for my V35.
Regarding Night Sight, is there a setting to change to fix the choppy motion when moving around the viewfinder?
No way for now on improving Night Sight viewfinder lag.

where is step 8 described? I can find no reference on how to apply this xml config.
Step 8 originates from really old installation guide.
Now you need only to install the camera apk and import the xml settings file.
Where/how to extract the xml file and how to import it afterwards you can check here

Thanks. I must have been downloading wrong version, since double clicking didn't work. Tried again this morning and it works now.
After applying the xml fix to v6.1 camera, it works, but I wouldn't call it "good". It's super annoyingly slow to make pictures. 5.2 also lags substantially, and won't load xml settings. So far, lg camera is hands down better
so... MGC_6.2.030_MI9SE_V4_plus2.apk has been the only version for me that has worked without issue...problem is pictures are not clear. although the viewfinder is fixed with the buffer fix toggle, when taking photos its not quick therefore the pictures blur slightly.
do you all encounter the same and if not which version and configuration has given you a fast shutter?
Here is what I posted on arnova's thread with the suggestion of another member.

thanks...i Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk works for my V35 as it seems BF means it has the buffer fix built in. shame it doesn't allow for zero shutter lag as for phones that don't need a buffer fix. as the OEM camera can take photos super fast.
here are my settings for my LG V35 on Pie on Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk

front camera: Nexus 6P

image quality is awesome, and no blur upon shutter snap as with other GCams! Thanks @arnova!

Hey everyone, I'm currently exploring some gcam options and I found that the latest Arnova Gcam works great with no lag (it does take a bit longer to capture a photo than it does on my sd820 device) but sadly it doesn't offer wide camera mode.
Now, there is the cstark camera and wide angle mode actually does work, but using the camera is impossible because the preview (you know, the thing you see on your screen before you take a picture) changes once every 5 seconds or something. I tried importing some xmls and that sped it up just a bit but not by much.
Is there some working version that was tested for v35? My v35 is Korean model

Well for 5-th branch hands down the best one is GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18c1.apk and can be found here
Regarding 6-th latest Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800 by Arnova works flawlessly with this XML config.

I get terrible stutter on the night site with this 6-th and the config file. Any fixes?
You need to be on Pie and you can use Gcam_6.2.030 with working Night Sight without lag.
Camera on my 6t focuses initially, ( when screen touched ) but after "fire" button is pressed, goes out of focus an instant before capturing image. Image is indeed out of focus.
This happens on all of the camera apps I've tried, but does not happen when capturing images within Google Voice, which I use for messaging.
I've looked for info on this problem online, and although I've found a number of other problems mentioned, I've seen nothing on this, specifically.
Screen recording and video below illustrates the problem. Any insights into this issue greatly appreciated!

Finally someone with the sane problem as I! Did you figure out what's wrong. I've tried installing Gcam and OOS camera apks but they fail to open.
Looking forward to your reply.
Open Camera is the only app which reliably focuses for me.
A Solution, Perhaps?

Sorry for the delay. I wasn't monitoring this thread.
I loaded Open Camera, which seems to provide a solution. In the main camera screen, there is a camera icon with a "+". This allows you to select a specific Camera, though I'm not sure exactly what is being "selected". Cameras 2 and 3 seem to work, while Camera 1 has this focus issue.
In addition, in the camera settings, there is an option to select "Camera API". Camera 2 API allows manual focus, something I was looking for. Let me know if this helps...

Amazing, that made my day. OpenCamera lets me use either the bottom or the top camera but also the combination of both to produce a blur effect in a similar way to the stock ROM. I didn't think that was possible without stock.
Up until now I would just reboot my phone and the out of focus issue was gone for a little while. This is much better though.
It makes me wonder : I also sometimes have an issue with the flash where the timing is just ever so slightly wrong, i.e the photo is taken just a split second after the light flash, which effectively gives the same result as if the flash was turned off. Again, a reboot fixes it temporarily. Does any of you also have this issue ?
