Has anyone been able to sucessfully register tango and make a video call with it? if so can you please detail the steps you took to make it all work?
Dont know that anyone has gotten it to load after it downloads from market....have you?
I have been able to install it and run it.. it asks me to register and wants to send a verification text (which obviously the tablet cant recieve) .. it bugs me about registration but i can just cancel the message and use the tango interface. i can even make a call and hear the other person on the other line. but when i start up the camera it all goes to ****. it shows my video but i am rotated by 90degrees and the other end never even gets my video....
i am running vegantab beta 4
Did you take any special steps to install and run it? I couldn't even get it to install from the market.

no special steps. i just searched for it on the market and downloaded it. I do have my build.prop file modified slightly to mimic that of the galaxy tab so that i can run swype... maybe that has something to do with it?
Whoops wrong forum
Hi guys I found this app was up for beta testing here at XDA developed by elnoxvie, its similar to Smart Stay & works on GB ROMs too. I'm posting it here so that if any there are any compatibility problems with our handset it could be ironed out by the developer.
- Go to the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708012
- Get the latest beta & test it on your R.
- Report on the same thread your observations & problems you faced.
- Beta testers will get a discount.
The app is out of Beta & is available at the Play store. I have done beta testing for the app with my stock GB ROM, it was working fine & Galaxy R has been granted support. But it may not work on some custom ROMs.
Here are links:
1. SmartStay Ex Lite
2. SmartStay Ex Pro
Cheers!
Bro I read you wrote there that it is working for you but it is not for me on NEO ROM 2.1!!
I can only hear Stupid camera clicks and the screen goes off even if i am watching it.
I hope you be the Representative there and Report all the issues faced so that we can get a Nice Working Release !:angel:

You'll have to report yourself cause he may try to understand your problem & ask you submit logs which only you can do.
So I'll request everyone to post your observations after testing it in the original thread as it'll help the developer in making it fully compatible with our device.
Ehhh !! i installed this app, but how do i know whether this is working or not, i can only hear camera clicks !!
I've installed it for some minutes. I think that you need to restart the phone after installing the app, but, first, enable the boot option inside it.
I suppose that those clicks are real photos been taking by the phone, I also hear it... just a bug. The app is trying to analyze the face and it's searching for the eyes.
If you want to try it, set the display timeout to 15s (in phone's settings), turn on your room's light and put the mobile to a reasonable distance from your face, you'll see that it doesn't switch off the screen, after this, just leave it far from you and, if everything is ok, it should go to sleep in some seconds.
The software need to mature a lot, it consumes tons of CPU time and, eventually, it starts to eat all the ram and CPU, leaving your phone in a semi-freezed mode, I was able to restart it but took some time.
Besides that, it did its function, it kept the display on while I was watching at it, and afterwards it put it to sleep.

By sending a log you are sending some sensitive information to this app's developer. I think this is how it's done though I'm not 100% sure:
- First download & install the new v1.4 of the app.
- Now start /open the app, after clicking on 'OK' lock your device once by pressing the lock key.
- Now click on 'Send Logs' in the app. It'll ask you to download & install a log collector app so install it & open it.
- Next Tick 'Debug' and go through the process of running the app when you are facing the front Cam with some distance between you & your front Cam so as to let it try to detect your face. Now let it run once when you do not face the front Cam.
- Next Click on Send logs once again then click on OK.
- It'll then allow you to Email the log to this app's developer.
- If the app works then don't send the logs.
Hope this helps. Cheers !
App is out of Beta & it's available for download at the Play store. Check OP for the links & more info.

Interesting app, but it fails to recognize in landscape mode. Also uses too much cpu, and phone lags while shooting images.

It does work in landscape mode AFAIR but it's hard to keep your face in the field of view of the front camera in the landscape mode.
Yep you are right about others except the lagging part but that can vary from person to person.
The app is working, however, the shutter sound is very annoying. Just imagine when you fall asleep and suddenly hear that noise.

There's an option to turn off the shutter sound but it's a temporary fix as it switches the handset into 'Silent' mode for the duration of the shutter sound which affects others functions of the handset as well.
This thread is a starter for the GCAM devs to hopefully provide us a working GCAM for the essential phone based on the new update. As of right now, you need to be on P at a minimum.
YOU NEED TO HAVE LOGCATS FOR HELP How to LOGCAT 101
You can also use a ondevice logcat tool, like matlog. I clear matlog, start it, directly create my problem, go back to matlog, stop it, then sort by "CAM" in this case, so i can see all camera related errors, then save it.
The idea is this.... all of the major gcam devs have the OP6 or something that isn't the essential phone. If we politely tag them, and have a logcat in hand, perhaps we can get support quicker for our device.
OP6 GCAM Thread
THIS IS FOR READING PURPOSES ONLY, DO NOT SPAM THEIR THREAD WITH REQUESTS, THERE WILL BE FM ACTION IN DOING SO
here is the link for @Arnova8G2 first beta
BETA 1
Hopefully, this will help get the ball rolling. Once i get home from work, i will have logcats for slo-mo, and no-hdr later.
If anybody else wants to help, again, please be descriptive with your problem, and provide a good logcat
@Arnova8G2 and @cstark27 (even though I know your moving on)
Here are logs:
1. Slomo crash. Slomo worked on test3, as long as we patch media profile, it works in general
2. No ability to take picture with hdr off
3. Taking a picture with zoom
I know these are already issues by in large. Maybe my logs will help.
Thank you for your help
Luckily for us. We have a pretty versatile phone at this point.
Tolyan009 just released his first build. It works out of the box. Here is the link.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tolyan009/#apk524
al-ro from 4pda has some good stuff too, Where tolyans right now is pretty basic but effective, al-ro has ported some of the bsg mods over.

The only things I find right now as "bugs" I guess is there is no lens button in more tab. Might be a us problem, but I'm not quite sure how to figure out if it's there or not.
Added newest al-ro build to 3rd post.
I'm curious if you have seen/looked at this before - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/magisk-google-camera-telephoto-lens-t3767531 It's a mod for the Xiomi Mi A1 to be able to use the 2nd rear camera (telephoto) with Google Camera. I haven't tried it yet, kind of afraid to bootloop since it appears specific to the A1 phone. But was curious if what they've done can help get the monochrome camera working on Gcam and other apps in a similar way.
I know you (I think?) had discussed the challenges and limitations of this when asking Essential for support in an AMA in July/August in which Essential basically said "no." But wasn't sure if anything done with the A1 is different than what you've tried.

I spoke to cstark about this with the Nokia 8 ages ago and the basic idea was that if the secondary camera doesn't show up in camera identifier in the Camera2test app then there's literally no way to make this work.

Thats what ive come across as well. Im just curious though.... How is it hidden from apps like this. I know in build.prop there is a aux cam white list for apps. but ive tried adding all the package names...nothing. What are we missing, how does klik camera turn it on....

I still can't get any of these apps to quick launch from a locked ascreen with the power button shortcut. I'm just getting an error message about permissions. Is anyone else getting this or is it something I have installed that's causing the problem?
I logcatted it. Doesn't tell me much of anything unfortunately. Like what permission it wants perhaps.

Happens on my device too. It actually didn't back when using some of the first Arnova8G2's 6.1.x builds (sorry I can't remember which exact versions).
There is a *partial* solution to launching it from lockscreen - wether it is actually locked or not - by simply having the app in memory.. But that's obviously far from ideal.
Was gonna try to gather some (hopefully) helpful logs but.. :

It's really weird.
Using SystemUI Tuner, I can also confirm the very same thing happens when swiping the corresponding lockscreen shortcut.
(OT : By the way, don't know why they were originally removed since adding back phone & camera shortcuts does make the bottom messages corresponding to the targetted function : "swipe right to make a call" & "swipe left to open camera".. something like that anyways)

Can't see me in WhatsApp video calls, I look very large as if I had a zoom, someone with the same problem?
Yes I have the same problem and I sent back the phone to Realme, I just got the a new one and still have that issue. Please someone help !
if I'm not wrong in thinking, I believe it's down to the fact that WhatsApp records video in 9:16 aspect ratio on all phones as just standard. And then when you are viewing yourself, it's zooming in to fit your image onto a 9:20 screen. However, others should see it in 9:16.
I hope this makes sense and as far as I'm aware it's not a phone problem. It's just trying to fill your image onto the bigger screen but not wanting to stretch.
Best that I can offer is to fill the status bar as black to make the screen theoretically smaller.
I don't think it's any issue on Realme's side but WhatsApp use of needing to work on devices of all screens and sizes, if that makes sense.

Same problem here.
Other people can only see a very zoomed part of that what i see myself.
Hope that Realme is gona Fix this soom.

I just found out I have the same problem. Strange enough I see myself good in the mini window inside whatsapp, but the other person sees only the lower right quarter of the image, like it was zoomed in.
the workaround solution is you have to temporary downgrade your whatsapp version to the older version, i cannot remember which version, but i fix my video call issue.
the only problem of the version is the group call has limited to 4 instead of more.
hope it help.

Hey guys. About a week ago camera app started crashing when trying to switch to the rear camera.
I tried everything I (and Google support) could imagine - reinstalling the app, force-stopping it, clearing the cash, even factory reset of my phone - the problem is still there.
I have a non-rooted phone with all the latest updates both for the app and the system. Any suggestions?
Sounds like some type of hardware issue as if the "electronic signal" from the app itself is unable to either reach or make a stable connection to the hardware. Have you tried any 3rd party camera apps? If a 3rd party app, camera or otherwise, is able to swap between the front and rear camera's without any problem then it could be software. But if not, then it it's probably hardware. YMMV

Not sure about how to proceed with any bug report....but a bug is usually software, not hardware. If this is hardware and I believe that it is then some type of warranty, or out of pocket repair will be needed. Maybe someone else will chime in with a better solution.
