I like Cyanogenmod, but the big issue I have with it is it's 'incompatibility' with Google Camera; it crashes every time I open it.
On stock ROM (RUU) the camera works just fine. The main difference I notice just before it crashes is that it uses the new look as seen on the Pixel/Nexus phones.
The other issue is not being able to restore from a backup when setting it up.

Thanks. I didn't get a chance to post back yet, but I tried the paid version of Snap-HDR that I've owned for some time and it works okay after disabling the stock camera app. It works, so far as I can tell, but it had force-closed on me a couple of times. I might try wiping and reinstalling with a slim set of Gapps without the camera app. Then install Snap-HDR as the primary. It is MUCH better than anything CM or Google have introduced to date.
Will post back the results.

Whenever I attempt to run a "specialty" camera application (Barcode Scanner, CamScanner, QuickMark), the application crashes immediately. This was not a problem in the past, but started yesterday for no apparent reason. The stock camera application still works fine.
I already attempted to fix the permissions, but it didn't seem to help. I also tried to restore backups of previous versions of the crashing applications, but this didn't help either.
Any ideas for why this happening?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Need more info to help. Rom? 2.1 or 2.2? Did you replace the email app as this is normally the issue
Running Darky's v9.02, which is 2.2.1.

To tell the truth as to why i am not sure but this was an issue with a few roms that if you used an email app that was not compatible then the bar coder app would crash and it would crash as well if you switched to video recorder it would also crash. Did you change the email app or uninstall it?
Once of the first things I did was uninstall it. Video recording still seems to work fine.
Will reinstalling the email app fix things, or does this seem to be a case-to-case problem?

I know I would not have thought so either but my guess is that it is wrapped up in the email app for sending qr codes or something of that nature. Glad you got it fixed.

I have it on my phone now. Camera works, editing/filters works, gallery works, panorama mode does not work, 1080p video recording records a file but it's garbage, 720p video recording does not even create a file. Photosphere gives a message about hardware not supported. I did not experience any FC's, and I only used the GoogleCamera.apk and 2 of the 3 libs, I already had a libjni_mosaic.so so I didn't copy that. Picasa Sync seems to work.

I didn't backup my Gallery.apk.
Just pushed it to system.
Gallery did FC for me. But I was following the link I posted in the OffT thread.
The OPs link is the source link. Follow that one for best results
It did not have the patches/fixes in place. (hence why gallery did not work)
I didn't thoroughly test it either. Just tried a few shots, along with the settings wheel and photosphere (assume thats what you mean by panorama)
It was 4 am so I deleted it, restarted phone and crashed out.
Good to know that it has the issues you mentioned though.
Liquidzoo:
I deleted my links posted in the OffT thread and pointed people to this thread.
Even though I posted mine last night, I decided that the link to AC was a better one.
Much thanks.

Been using iYTBP for a long time both rooted and rootless versions on my Sony droids.
Since moving to Razer I have to admit I've missed this app a lot.
Don't know what it is?
Where the fk have you been!
iYTBP = Injected YouTube with Background Playback
(including Screen off Playback) & NO ADVERTS!
All credits to the entire team who work very hard at pushing this amazingly modded YouTube app.
All you need to know is this is a rootless version - which can be installed alongside your original YouTube installation without issue.
I can verify the version I am gonna post here woks as I expect it too.
Don't post here for help, goto the original thread and ask the geniuses themselves, however all you need to know I have posted here.
Original thread and credits due here
(FYI The 3rd post is for rootless versions - and is where I located the necessary Latest arm64 version.) https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...cted-youtube-background-t3560900/post71133073
I'm hosting necessary apks on my drive for a short while here (for my new Razer family.) This is the latest (December 4th) update from the IYTBP team. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1o76gLX3ov5mqpPvmSLZCNppYWB6AiOFU
1. Install the iYTBP app.
2. You cannot sign in to this modded YouTube app WITHOUT also installing MicroG, which will in turn automagically allow you to add your Google/YouTube account.
3. Btw to sign in, click the top right corner in iYTBP (which is blacked out) and it will take you to add account (notice when pressing + button the UI will not do anything UNLESS you install MicroG.)
For whatever reason if you did not want to Sign in to your YouTube account then you can ignore installation of MicroG and continue using iYTBP without an account.
The above is all you need to know.
Again if you need further assistance then hit them up on the original thread I linked above.
For me this app is possibly the very best of what our Android Community offer us (specifically rootless.)
My drive hosts the Black/Red themed version Only, but they also supply a vanilla version (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620770246) but I think you'll agree BalckRed is niiiiiiice.
Note you may still receive the odd advert (very rare - with my first hand experience) or a quirky UI glitch (specifically perhaps black text on black background anomaly - again very rare)...adopt a little give and take rather then getting annoyed.
Feel obliged to report any issues on the iYTBP thread, they are very accomodating and actually work hard to rectify any issues.
For your future reference: if/when you want to update your version of iYTBP then you'll need to seek out the "arm64 NoDPI Vanced ROOTLESS" version.
(However personally I tend not to fuss about updating this app - if it works it works - I'm not bothered about missing new UI features Google continually add to YouTube
Enjoy
Some screens

I don't get it, youtube has an app?

Yes but YouTube is inundated with adverts in its UI and adverts before videos.
This modded/injected version of YouTube "eliminates adverts" and allows for "background playback."
It is a comprehensive modded YouTube app with much desirable features I just detailed.
The OP is relatively self explanatory.
Please read it I'm sure you will make sense of it
If your still lost then read through the iYTBP OP for your clarification:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...cted-youtube-background-t3560900/post71132316
Apologies, I skimmed it ?
Being back to Android after a 5 year break, I am surprised with the amount of complacency in the Android user world that has resulted in so many mainstream apps that inundate everyone with so many garbage ads.
Pretty surprised... ?

Not really. Somebody ported gcam to exynos device. Arnova atm is working on p10 I think.
Guys, make that camera app to system app and disable stock camera. Let's see if it works. I don't have root, other wise I would.
I installed the above uploaded camera apk, but, unfortunately, the app instantly closes after launch. The white camera for "loading screen" appears and after it, the app closes itself.

I am still not able to start the app. Is there something else required to do in order to make it run properly?
is there any updates here ?
The camera2.api must be enabled in order to run this app. I have MiA1 as secondary phone and its working perfectly due to snapdragon soc. And it is also working on some exynos phones.
Try to add 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1' in build.prop in order to test whether it is working on Honor 8.
as for what i've known, Honor 8 has its camera2.api enabled by default
Crash at start for now, after granting permissions
There is actually one gcam that is usable for Honor 8 (i just can't remember the download link but it's worse than the stock camera
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.

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

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....

Thanks aer0zer0!
This new build from Arnova8G2 seems to fix the crash in slow motion:

It does indeed. Great work @Arnova8G2 !
Finally good slow-mo recordings *with* sound available.
Photobooth still mysteriously crashes when first shot is processing.

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)

I can confirm that Photobooth crashes on my PH-1 too. Can anyone provide a logcat to Arnova8G2?
Thank you for this! Much better than the stock essential phone app. Makes my essential that much better.
Is there a source link to al-ro gcam ports??
