Gcam viewfinder app port on WearOS with non-pixel devices - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone been able to get any of the GCam ports working on WearOS.
I have tried multiple GCam port and none seem to support the WearOS viewfinder app. I have tested the Gcam port on 3 devices Samsung S8, Note 9 and A71 with Fossil Gen 5 and Motorola 360 Gen3.
I loved using the viewfinder Gcam app on wearOS with my Google Pixel 4 and am trying to so with same with other Android devices.
Let me know if you one was able to get it to work.

I want to know, too.
Had no luck either. Motorola g 5g.

OnePlus 5 HDR+ port from Google pixel possible?

Hey, I was researching around the internet and I saw that the HDR+ feature can actually be ported over to other phones using the camera nx app. I saw that the Moto z had it ported and some guy claiming it worked on his galaxy s8. The galaxy s8 is using a snapdragon 835 which is the same as our phone, so I'm guessing it is possible to port the feature over. Anyone know how to do that?
The camera blobs don't support HDR+ in any shape or form so it's not impossible but incredibly difficult i.e why bother.
From reddit
Sorry if I got anyones hopes up but it doesn't seem like we will be getting HDR+ anytime soon. I tried everything I can think of but it seems like the OnePlus blobs don't support HDR+. This is something I have confirmed with Amir Zaidi. Therefore, it's unlikely that I could port it over anytime soon.
No, impossible because of the blobs.

Note 8 camera port

From what I've seen in Unbox Therapy's video the camera app (and especially it's portrait mode) on the Galaxy Note 8 seems to be a lot better. Will there be a port like we saw with the Pixel camera? The note 8 had a model with the SD835 like the op5 and I guess other smartphones with the same type of dual camera setups could benefit from this as well. Will we ever see a port of the app and if not why?

I wouldn't hold my breath. TouchWiz is much further away from OOS than Google's version of android. Too many proprietary files on TouchWiz that we wouldn't have access to.
Doubtful, even if it's got the same chipset, it won't have the same cameras. OnePlus usually use Sony cameras (Apparently the main camera is the Sony IMX 398), Samsung will most likely use their own and the software will be designed to fit their own hardware.
Apparently the S7 has a Sony camera though, so....who knows.
Yeah, probably slim to none. Touchwiz is too proprietary

In front and back camera for portrait mode

Nokia 6 and moto g4 plus both are work in stock android
In Nokia 6 Google camera to possible portrait mode
But moto g4 plus why can't install
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/themes/google-camera-hdr-portrait-selfie-t3733577
Please dev work camera
Portrait mode not only needs software but also a hardware support! The processor support is needed.. The processors used might be different! Also, I haven't seen the ROM of Nokia 6... For portrait mode the ROM needs to be 64bit.
Google camera's portrait mode is made for pixel 2..look at its specs and the processor and the camera hardware it carries.
I don't know about Nokia 6's config so won't be able to comment exactly the difference.
But please don't ask devs to do something. They provide stuff for free and they know what to provide when! They do it in their free time hence the delay. We all have out lives apart from this forum!
You can use lens blurr in google camera for now it works in the same way.

It also doesn't help that on oreo, we don't have a stable camera.
Remember that even if the phone had the same CPU the implementation could be completely different and would require separate methods of porting.
The Pixel 2 features of GCAM is designed to be only used on the, guess what? The Pixel 2. The community has ported over the features to work on many devices but it is not designed to run on all devices.
We might even have to wait for the official release of stock oreo, please be patient and see.
Agreed with the above post. as far as i know, Gcam works effectively on 64 bit ROM with camera2api and Oreo. We still do not have official Oreo neither do we have oreo camera drivers to support it.
Why Google camera is working on Moto g5 plus and not on Moto g4 plus since both have ported 64bit ROM

Google Pixel Camera Ports (pixel 1 port and pixel 2 camera port)

I was wondering if it would ever be possible to get pixel camera ports (pixel 1 / pixel 2) for any Note 4 variant? I noticed that the tmobile variant is the only one so far that has a 8.0 rom (lineage). I flashed the rom and this did not allow the apks to work...I am prompted with messages that state it is not compatible with the device.
How is it possible that the camera ports work on the moto g5 plus running 8.0 rom, but not on the note 4?
- Moto g has snapdragon 625, note 4 has snapdragon 805. Isn't note 4 processor better?
Is the note 4 lacking in camera api2? I read that could have been a factor somewhere
Anyways, just hoping to get some feedback and maybe it will also shed some lights to others hoping to do the same.
I have the same problem. Any luck finding an APK? Really want Google camera on my Samsung note 4 running linage 15.1.
Bro note 4 has a 32bit os that is the limiting factor
pixel camera mod needs 64bit os
Gcam 4.1.006.135988111 works on LO 14.1 and [ROM][EOL][9] Havoc-OS 2.9

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.

GCam 7 for Samsung A9 2018
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. What exactly do I need to do to (1) backup current stock firmware and (2) get GCam 7.3 working on a Samsung A9?
My device(SM-A920F) have been root and I enable the camera 2 API,but I still can't use the gcam when I open it, it's black screen then crash.
How to do to let Google camera attached the lens?
