and copy the lib to system/lib and after backing up, replace the Talk.apk (don't forget to delete the data first).. reboot and try.
Don't forget that you need to be rooted AND HAVE GINGERBREAD for that
New updated APK has front facing camera support! I'll check it out

If you go into details I "might" be able to help you. But "it didn't work" has "I don't want to ask for help anyways" written all over it...

'Worked' as far as I can see, without having anyone to test it with. I get the option to enable voice and video calls when changing my status, and 'voice call' appears as an option when talking to a contact.

can it use for 2.3.3?

Great The only thing I still have to try if video is sent from one Android-Talk App to another... It doesn't work for the desktop at the moment and it doesn't work for the front camera... that's probably why Google just rolled it out for the Nexus S... I hope they'll fix that soon!

It only works with 2.3.3 and up (not with Froyo AFAIK) ^^ So give it a shot!

it can work well.
but it only use rear camera.
Terrible software ah! Very poor user experience.

Uhm, I don't know if it is that bad... It is just not that good The honeycomb version is of course way better

Hey OP here is a link to Xilard's post with the apk that has front facing camera fix and no wifi. I tested the front cam and it works. Please update your guide with this link.

I know i appologize for the short rude, it didnt work, statement.
I placed said lib in correct-is it replacing something or just drop it in?
Backed up old g app and moved at to external sd, then cleared data.
Uninstalled old app, and installed new app.
Nothing seemed to change for me, no voice or video options. Video option greyed out.

No problem pal!
Ok, uhm, it should just drop in but afaik the Overcome Rom might already have the new GTalk app as soon as you read this..
Try the new link, it contains the update zip with a patched version
under your status you find something like "allow videocalls" try to enable that

Wow, thank you very much pal!

Works on OC 2.0RC1. Front cam and voice, but FC's everytime I switch front to back cam...anyone else experiencing this...

Anyone have any idea why I can't get write permission on the system folders? I'm using file expert with superuser access, but for some reason it just won't let me change access permissions on the system folders.
*update* nevermind. Installed root explorer and it worked much better.

Is there an Infrared camera app?

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)

Pixel camera working on Nokia 6

http://www.androidauthority.com/google-camera-port-raw-support-bug-fixes-803761/
i've tried the app and it's working.. still observing for some bugs etc..

It would be nice if we knew what are the best (most suitable) settings.

is HDR+ working?
Is HDR+ working?
I read the port works with SnapDragon 8xx but Nokia mounts a 4xx... Did you enable camera API 2 or something more than just installing the app?

Camera api2 is enabled by default. Could not get hdr+ working with this all-in-one-version, but this one does work with zsl, if you have hdr+ auto mode on:

Thanks for the link
So, above the version you linked, ZSL and HDR+ stopped working? If we were to get all the other goodies like raw support and so on, would be just amazing!

No problem, I can get pretty stunning shots with this one. HDR+ with this apk is not oversaturated and totally usable. (I'm a professional photographer and satisfied with the result
I could not get that allinone-version to process HDR+ pics at all. Tried different modes and settings, but it just saves the non-hdr version.

Just tried the one you linked and the all-in-one version and I get the exact same behavior as you describe. So happy we can at least use a version where we get the wonderful hdr+ feature!

How to install the app?

Click to collapse
Should be pretty straightforward.
1. Download the apk file from the link @CareDood shared above. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634795524 (You can download from your phone or to your PC)
2. If you downloaded from the PC you'll need to connect your phone to the PC to send the file. When connecting the USB your phone will ask if you want to charge only or give storage access. Make sure to allow storage access. Then copy the .apk file to the internal storage, for example in the `Download` folder, as it is easy to find.
3. In your phone enable `unknown sources` (settings > in the search bar write `sources` and click in `unknown sources` > switch the toggle to enable)
4. Locate the apk on your phone (in Downloads if you place it there or using a file manager app if you put it somewhere else). Click on it and should prompt if you want to install it.

That os what i thought, but it doesen't work
When i click on the apk and try to install it says that the package conflicts with an existing package with the same name. And says not installed. Don't know what to do. I really want to try it.

Remove the Google Camera app you have downloaded from Play Store first.

Yes, that's it. Thank you so much. Slow motion doesen't work, my guess is because of the CPU

Are you on stock ROM?
Did you try to install previously any other version of the pixel camera?
I just tried my self to install another version of the pixel camera, the `all-in-one` also mentioned in this thread and then install back the working one, and doesn't complain at all... but just in case, if you have any other version of the pixel camera might be worth uninstalling...
I have the ta-1000 version of the Nokia 6, chinese, and the stock camera has different package name but maybe is not the case on yours?
Is the only thing I can think off tbh but I'm not an Android expert by any chance.... sorry I cannot help much mate

If you look to the previous page you will see that someone pointed to the solution of the problem. But thanks anyway, i appreciate your effort.

use GCam5.1.016-Arnova8G2-v1.0 on Nokia 6 (7.1.1)
normal work。

Some questions for anyone with the phone. (Extra one for those who are rooted)

Hoping someone can answer some questions for me. Thinking about buying one of these, but need to make sure of a few things.
1. Does the phone have some kind of voice wake-up? With the new Chinese voice assistant, I would assume there's some kind of voice wake-up system for that -- anyone who tried the global rom, can google assistant wake up the phone with "OK Google?" Seems like a long shot, but would love to know.
2. On the Mi Mix 2, the brightness sensor was placed right where someone using the phone left-handed's hand would be. Has this changed? I heard from someone they centered the brightness sensor for this one, but can anyone confirm?
3. I hope someone rooted can try this, but is it possible to put the phone in diag mode, connect with QPST, and make a qcn backup of the baseband? With Android O I'm no longer able to do this on Mi Mix 2. If anyone willing to try this, ask for more details if you don't know how to do it.

I'm not running an official MIUI ROM (xiaomi.eu ROM), but since the base is pretty similar my answers should still count...
1) OK Google does work, but apparently not for unlocking / wakeing the device. I guess this could be fixed with some fiddling around
2) The brightness sensor isn't dead center on the 2S either. It is around 1cm left to the middle.
3) Worked perfectly fine for me

does the stock camera app let you shoot raw images?
if no, is it possible when using alternative camera apps like open camera, fv-5,...?

thx for the screenshot. does that mean it's available in the stock app too or only in 3rd party camera apps?

Well, then check another screenshot
It does save RAW perfectly fine

thx for replying. your screenshot tells me that you took a picture in raw format and that this raw file was saved in the open camera folder. I suppose you used open camera to take the picture.
does the stock camera also offer the option to shoot raw files?
thx,
vercetti.

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
