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.

This is guide how to enable camera2api, but you need twrp to install this.

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?

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

I've searched all over for the new google camera application (3.0) and I have found nothing except for a ported application that should be flashed through recovery (link below) is there another one specific for our Nexus that can maybe be installed directly as an APK or do I have to flash the one below through recovery?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-camera-v3-0-brand-features-t3232932
Unless it's on apkmirror.com or the Play Store I have reservations installing anything claiming to be Google. Considering this is a zip install, I have even more reservations that it's intentionally circumventing digital certificate validation- aka I wouldn't necessarily trust it's made by Google. It could be legit but it gives me pause.
If it is a zip file, unzip it and see if there's an apk inside. If so, upload the apk to virustotal.com to check it for viruses before doing anything with it.

Yup. And both versions (ARM64 and ARM) are listed there. It's pretty slick and installed with no issues for me as well.
Well, I'm pretty firggin impressed... Low light pic in hdr mode from 11 months ago vs. A pic from tonight using the same device with new apk.

I don't see the option for Burst photos in the app, is that a limitation with the Nexus 5 hardware?
No burst mode nor slow motion

Maybe with Google's implementation, but I've used burst mode in other camera apps with great success.
EDIT: Camera Zoom FX is what I used.
slowmo i can understand since probably the camera isn't shooting enough fps to achieve that, but burst probably could have worked
So after tinkering with this phone for quite awhile! With the help of another developer, we now have a decent working port of google camera for the razer phone. Portrait mode is not working in this version because portrait was introduced in version 5.1 and later. Also the razer phone has hardcoded front camera2 as legacy so there is no raw support so you will never get selfie portrait to work. Hopefully razer will remove this hardcode in Pie, but it's very unlikely. I have sold my phone so there will be no more development from me on this, I'm simply sharing back and actually CARING to have a decent camera!
First and foremost, you need to root your device and unlock the bootloader (recommended but does not have to), then replace all these chromatix files for color fix, using a file explorer of your type. I highly recommend Solid Explorer:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EreYInGhkaN08aay3StpHra1gluN9rUJ
After you replace the libs, install the apk and shoot. Modified to have locked 35 frames in all conditions, with raw so you can edit these amazing pictures afterwards.

There's no way you get a Camera Error. Are you on the latest firmware for the Razer? I did this multiple times... I don't have the stock bc I sold it already as mentioned. You can do a factory reset or reflash the rom.
Works very well and seems to stable. Been using it for two weeks now and taken ~200 photos with HDR without a single crash.
Thanks for you work!

You should ensure that you credit each Dev who's work you are sharing. This is important to make it clear that this is not your own efforts or work. Also this isn't really required since it's already enabled internally as another Dev has stated. Thanks

What's unknown is the reason you decided to remove the Modder's name from the APK. I've modded numerous GCam versions and never once did I remove the original Modder's Name from the package.
But to correct your post you can add the following credit for GCam:

Android 11 uses a new "format" that allows installing a much larger system image on less physical space (much like a virtual machine). The usual methods to modify it won't work.
The GCam V7 not work on Asus RoG5 only the V8.1.101 by Wichaya working, but front cam and night mode are better on Asus cam app, for the rest GCam V8 are better
Could you clarify what you mean by "since it's already enabled internally"? Does it make sense to dl these modded gcams then?

how to enable camera2api? and where are config files?
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!

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 ?

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.

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?

Hi Guys,
Hope you all doing well.
So, I purchased an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro and got it delivered yesterday.
All seems good except camera which is very, very disappointing so far (obviously, the phone has the latest updates)
For example, no matter what picture I take in portrait mode, it takes 1-1.5 minutes (!!) to process it to add the blur which is insane as my 2 years old Notes 10 Ultra processes blur in 1-2 seconds. How is this even possible?
Do you guys have the same issue with portrait mode? I want to make sure its not my phone.
Also, I was reading that it is possible to add a blur to unprocessed picture from Google Photos but that option is simply missing from the menu no matter what picture I open.
For instance, Samsung Gallery app does add blur to all these unprocessed pictures so its not the picture itself. Google Photos simply doesn't have that option, its missing.
Google Photos also doesn't have any option to unblur a picture as its also missing. The was apparently one of the "perks" of Pixel 7 Pro but that option is not even there.
Do you guys also experience all this?
If the portrait mode processing is faster for you, can any of you kindly extract your camera and google photo apk and post it here? I will install these instead. Thanks a lot!
Try a factory reset. mine takes 4 seconds tops
Didn't help.
I didn't mention that I am using GrapheneOS.
Tried to flash stock Google image - and Portrait mode processing worked as expected.
I pulled out the original Photo and Google Camera apks from stock Google image, then installed Graphene again and installed these - same results.
It seems there are some additional libraries in stock image that are responsible for processing and they need to be installed in Graphene to make it work as expected? I couldn't identify any though - there was one called Pixel Camera Services that I also installed but still no joy.

It seems there are some additional libraries in stock image that are responsible for processing and they need to be installed in Graphene to make it work as expected? I couldn't identify any though - there was one called Pixel Camera Services that I also installed but still no joy.

Good luck with that. Graphene is a poor choice for people who want to use Google anything.

GrapheneOS is an OS not a mod, and Google Camera works on it for a few years now - it only requires GSF to run. There are many people on XDA who are using GrapheneOS on Pixel phones so its not a unique thing. I was hoping someone who is on it can advise if they experience the same issues.

Graphene is a hugely modded OS with everything Google stripped from it. It is normal and expected for things to not work exactly the same as stock.

I agree, its a way out of Google so yes. I don't use any other Google aps so don't really need them. Such a shame the Cam is not working as expected - I might try GCAM instead.

So then it looks like I was correct in my assumption...according to other respondents? You are running a heavily modded OS with Google stripped out of it. Of course you will have all sorts of negative issues. lol

Hi Guys,
Hope you all doing well.
So, I purchased an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro and got it delivered yesterday.
All seems good except camera which is very, very disappointing so far (obviously, the phone has the latest updates)
For example, no matter what picture I take in portrait mode, it takes 1-1.5 minutes (!!) to process it to add the blur which is insane as my 2 years old Notes 10 Ultra processes blur in 1-2 seconds. How is this even possible?
Do you guys have the same issue with portrait mode? I want to make sure its not my phone.
Also, I was reading that it is possible to add a blur to unprocessed picture from Google Photos but that option is simply missing from the menu no matter what picture I open.
For instance, Samsung Gallery app does add blur to all these unprocessed pictures so its not the picture itself. Google Photos simply doesn't have that option, its missing.
Google Photos also doesn't have any option to unblur a picture as its also missing. The was apparently one of the "perks" of Pixel 7 Pro but that option is not even there.
Do you guys also experience all this?
If the portrait mode processing is faster for you, can any of you kindly extract your camera and google photo apk and post it here? I will install these instead. Thanks a lot!

You should have mentioned first that you're NOT on the STOCK ROM before getting all "disappointed" about your phone.

Honestly, this topic is not about comparing phones - I own both and providing my feedback. Even with stock ROM, Pixel cannot match the capabilities of 2 years old Notes 20 Ultra - for example, Note 20 Ultra has real-time video background blur with different effects whilst Pixel's Cinematic mode doesn't offer many background effects and works much worse. Note 20 Ultra's portrait mode has much more different real-time effects, etc. But as I said this topic is not about comparing but trying to resolve a problem, so its pointless to write comments like this.
I took this one of my daughter just to see and mine did not have that problem. It processed quick quickly

It's pointless to write something is broken, and then ask people if theirs is broken too, while ignoring completely the fact that you're on a CUSTOM ROM while people are clearly saying "It's working" fine, yes, on stock ROM.
I'm not trying to argue now, but it's important to mention such stuff so people can actually "help" in a more "accurate" way instead of just writing "it works fine for me", while they're not using the same ROM as you do.
Peace

Please do your research before posting - Google Camera does work on GrapheneOS with Google Services installed.
If you know anything about the issue, then please respond.
If not, its pointless making comments like this and flooding the thread - let other people who are running Graphene to read and share their experience.

The issue you're having is not there in the stock ROM, something you didn't mention in your thread.
But I'll walk away because you're clearly ignoring the fact that you didn't mention here a KEY factor, because it's definitely the issue of your CUSTOM ROM and not stock ROM. So, don't get angry when you get responses like this.
