Just curious if there is an app that uses the infrared camera (for the iris scanner)?
The iris scanner has a fixed focal range, you can't focus with it as the focus is fixed, so it would be pointless even if there was an app!

You can use service menu (dial *#0*#) and there is an iris camera test, gonna close after a few seconds, but you can check it out.
Yeah i checked it out and it disappears fast. It would be fun to take a selfie on total darkness, if there is a way to take pictures lol.
I'm just looking for this too. I tried it and can see things farther than 1m clearly. so it would have some fun uses if there's an app could do that.
Anyone else knows if there's a way to access the camera regardless if its pointless or not?

Did you find an app?
I am aware this is an old thread, but I'm interested in an app like that too
There is actually an app
If u check latest Steve Mould youtube video he shows how this app called Open Camera can open the IR camera. It may or may not work (he was using a Google pixel 4)

When I use Google Talk video chat, I switched from front camera to back camera, and now it looks like the video box is sliding off the screen. Even when I switched back to front cam, same thing. Seems related to the accelerometer, because when I shake the tablet, the video box moves. Anyone else having this issue??
Dunno if it is what I'm thinking, but try sliding the hand all the way to the left.

If I understand right, my KGL PX5 unit can handle a front camera as a dashcam recorder. I've seen that the seller where i bought it also sells a USB camera for that purpose.
I've tried to connect a standard USB Microsoft webcam I have lying around, but it was not recognized.
It's not possible to use any USB cam?
Following the post above... I'm thinking about buying a specific CAM for my HU, but I'm not sure if I could use it as I want (supposig it will work...). I just need to start and stop recording automatically when the unit is switched on and off, and automatically delete old recordings after a set amount of time to free disk space.
Is it possible to do it using the stock DVR app?
Are there any alternative app working with those units that can be used like that?
Sorry for asking, but I dont' want to buy another cam and then discover it's useless...

for what i have found after an extensive search and a few question (not answered jet) in this forum is that this android head units are not jet ready for dash cam dvr functionality without compromising other function. it is sad because would be really nice to integrated the dash cam recording function to this units properly .
Ok, thank you for your answer.
So I think I'll give up on that, or wait for someone to find a working solution.

I have been using AutoGuard. Not perfect, front view is reversed but records properly. Been able to get it to auto start most of the time. Need to to stop it before shutting down or the last video file stays a temp file. Also need to select camera because it defaults to a rear camera?? and is blank.
Mine auto records with the factory app. I don't understand how people are having problems.

Because we are trying to use usb cams other than the supported ones they sell with the units.
And the factory app don't have settings for resolution. Records just in 640x480.
and the sensor that they used are not any good

Hi guys, hope this helps. I started using the Footej Camera from Google play. I found it loads better than any modes or apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.footej.camera
Anyone figured any working gcam 5.1 for razer? Bsg 1.4a is the only one with proper dng for raw but no exposure settings
I can't seem to get the front camera to work. Anyone else have this issue?
Anything later than
"MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+"
working for Razer Phone "1"? Seen some for Razer 2 but thats the only one that works for me
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)
