I am loving the tab 7 right now. I am running into one problem with an app and I wasn't sure if its the app or the rom I installed. I installed cyanogenmod nightly build for the p3113 model at of Nov 4. I installed an app called social cam because I have seen people use it quite a bit and I wanted to give it a go since we have two cameras on this tab. The problem is when I open it to use it the camera autorotates to landscape mode and thats it. No matter what I press it will not switch to portrait. The other thing with the app is that it is not using the front facing camera only the back. So I can't see myself if I wanted to record a video.
I just wanted to see if anyone else was having a similar issue or could even duplicate the issue. It could be just the app, but I wanted to be sure before I deleted it. Also if anyone has a substitute that might be a good alternative I am all ears...thanks
]Okay, now I understand this phone simply have this problem where the camera constantly tries to refocus during video recording and it affect all OnePlus, this is my third OnePlus.
For some reason the Cyanogen Rom and roms based on it lack some drivers that allows continuous autofocusing to work correctly while video recording. Depends on what camera apps you use, the autofocusing will either not work, or it will continuously tries to re-focus nonstop. ColorOS however does have this function working correctly.
Solution: Use ColorOS + CameraNext or Google Camera.
If it matters that much to you then find the bug report on Jira and up vote it, that's the only real effective way to have an impact. You're not likely to find a fix at the ROM level.

Thanks for posting a solution. This problem is driving me crazy enough to sell my phone since I often need to use it to take short videos at work, and it is so embarrassing to have to show the videos to others that I have taken to also carrying around a small point-and-shoot, and this is not acceptable. I have tried many roms and many camera apps, but all of them have the video refocus issue.
However, I don't see Color OS in XDA. Is there a rom thread for it? I will try anything to salvage this phone since I love it except for this problem.

You'll find several builds of ColorOS in our General section.

This also appears to be a fix
I flashed the v20 mod for the app at http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/app-cameranext-modded-t2999275 and it does not continually autofocus. I saw no need to flash the "click fix" since it is does not click when using it. I am on KK Slim.

The official ColorOS firmware for some reason I could not get to boot on my phone, but you have to use the official version if you want working OTA updates. And it lack Gapps so you have to manually install it.
You could use other custom version like this one which is what I'm using, it's flashable using TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/rom-4-4-2-coloros-2-0-36beta-t2955853
The official OppoCamera.apk still do not record with continuous focusing, but the CameraNext.apk and Google Camera does.
Hello, anyone installed modded Google camera at XZ Premium?
It doesn't work, it requires Camera2 API (I think full mode) which is not supported by the XZp.
I read somewhere that SONY uses a modified version of the API which is why it causes the Google Camera app to crash.
https://source.android.com/devices/camera/versioning
This explains everything. But I am not quite sure which one Sony actually using. AFAIK it's legacy.
Edit: Yes it is Legacy.

I read that we can custom enable camera2api, but from recovery mode, anyone tried it?
Thing is there's an issue with the camera with unlocked bootloader. They're working on a DRM fix for unlocked bootloader.
But what's this custom enable cameraAPI2? cause I really wanna enable that so we get full control over. But I highly doubt we will be able to.

Yes, it instantly crashes.
So if you have phone rooted and u want to install camera 2 api with some guides about it, on the xzp will not work properly? For works it must have a modded camera 2 api from xda develpers?
Edit: and if we install magisk and the relative camera 2 api module?

We have already discussed and tried it over here.
But there is a magisk update released on 6 September

If I'm wrong, sorry for all I'm only trying to be helpful
The camera2 api is enabled by default (it was on my device) on XZP, but they limited the functionality for 3rd-party apps. RAW is not supported and the resolution is limited @ 8,3MP (back) and @ 13MP (front). I didn't found a way to brake the limits. I have no idea if it's possible.
Not all 3rd party apps are limited. FV-5 (force legacy drivers), open camera, a better camera, Camera ZOOM FX
Google open sources deeplap v3 technology
Hey guys Google open sources deeplap v3 in github
Can anyone use this repository and create a camera mod for Xperia XZ Premium if possible??.
Waiting for developer to respond,
Thanks in advance
Hi KGV! you made my Day!
The devs here on Sony's XDA either are paid by Sony, either Sony's employees, either lazy, either they have bought Samsung phones, either Sony really encrypted their software.
Don't expect something like this.
Hat down for Storm, Turbo and Munjeni.

Dude but what can we do for portrait mode??
It would be awesome if it works
(Don't say me to edit pics in snapseed nor picsart for portrait)
I am not a big fan of portrait mode, but I really think Sony's Bionz camera software is better than Google HDR + at least for our sensor.
Instead of running for fantasies, maybe you try to learn how our Bionz works. You wont be dissapointed.
Now a good thing will be to port XZ2 camera to our XZP.
Google is our friends and they're are tons of patched Google camera mods out there. I am currently running it with aosp

Which one are you using i tried different cameras and still not working
Don't really care about Android version. Anything as old as Android 6 is fine.
Just want something that has everything working, including camera for video recording in apps like Facebook/etc.
Any suggestions, please?
Just picked up this phone, so far I like it, seems a bit laggy, but I'm looking for a working Gcam version. I found a few but one is a Go version and the 2nd I can only get video working. Any help would be appreciated
It's like 99% + a proper gcam will not work for this device. I don't own this device but have been looking if RAW is capable on this device at all with 3rd party apps. Apparently this is a NO. When RAW is not available at all, GCAM's core software does not work...which is HDR+ mode. It's really lame because the camera sensor , processor/processing and memory is more than adequate.
I think gcam is limited to what is already existed. I had hoped it could be a workaround on the RAW issue, it couldn't engage the cameras on mine.
Hey there people, a couple of weeks ago I've acquired an A53 because of it's camera capability, while researching I found out this phone doesn't have RAW format support, which is a shame acknowledging this phone can shoot up to 10 seconds of image! So I decided to get my hands dirty and mod the camera libraries and so a Google Camera for it. I might release the modules and the Google Camera by this Saturday. I'd be also doing a Q&A, and you're invited! (I'll be talking about my work over 64MP mode, spoiler alert, I've been able to expose the resolution size for 3rd party camera apps, but I decided I won't be release with the 64MP mode until I'm able to access 64MP mode without root.)
I'm eagerly waiting to show you all my W.I.P works and much more!
Attaching a video showing how GCam 8.4.300 behaves.
Hey there, I was able to make a stable GCam 8.4.300, refer to my XDA thread!
Interesting !
Sadly we have to Root the phone to use gcam
Thanks for your work, i'll follow tour project closely

No worries, for those who can't root or don't want to root I'll be doing my best to get working 64MP for 3rd party camera without root!

I'm not particularly interested by 64MP mode as I'm not impressed by the differences from a quality perspective (using Samsung app)
But I'm interested by a working version of gcam cause I don't like Samsung camera app and also the photo processing (far better when I disable the HDR mode)
So if your version of gcam can be installed without unlocking bootloader I'm in !
But if I understand correctly that's not possible currently ? Am I right ?
Thanks for your work !

Yes, sadly you can't use gcam without root, I saw Samsung's api has a RAW picture format so I have been tried these past weeks using Samsung's API RAW picture format instead of Android's, unfortunately no progress was achieved so far
That's very cool. Really looking forward to trying this out on my phone with LineageOS GSI and Magisk. There, the difference in quality to the default cam will be mindblowing I assume.

Bro need gcam for samsung A33
Hey guys,
are there any updates on the Gcam software for A53? Would greatly appreciate it!

I don't think Gcam is ever going to work unless Samsung enables RAW support (or someone finds a way to enable it) on the A53.
How do I enable GCam if I have ROOT?
Considering this device through local carrier because it's one of few with expandable memory. They're also suggesting Motorola Edge.. I've been out of the loop on tech side of things for years now, so I naturally came here to learn what I can about them. Is A53 5G a solid choice?
