Getting Gcam 4.2.035 working on nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

alright so most of us know that beyond the 3.2.045 the camera's HDR+ breaks if u have any custom rom thats upto from 7.0, the main reason is because the 32bit google play updates us to is for nexus 6 which also has a 32bit cpu and is updated by google upto 7.1.1 and so the 4.2.035 is expecting us to have a nexus 6.
i think thats the main reason HDR+ doesnt work on 4.0 and up.
is there any way to get 4.0+ app version to work on our devices by like faking being a nexus 6? i would think it would improve our camera quality alot, due to changes in HDR+ script.

[Q] [REQUEST FOR DEVS] Porting HDR+ on OnePlus ONE

Hi guys, don't know if it's possible, is there any dev that could port HDR+ function of Nexus 6 (which has the same camera, with the addition of OIS) on our OPO???
There are many excellent camera for our device but i think that this could be a great added value for our device.

Only CM can do this because it requires updated lib files

HDR+ depends on full support of the new Android camera HAL (source). It is theoretically possible that we could have our own non-Google Camera version of HDR+ since our camera app apparently has direct control over shutter speed and ISO, but it would have to be written by Cyanogen from scratch since the Camera Next app is closed source. I think we have a better shot at getting full Camera2 support in the coming year than we do getting a custom version of HDR+.

Yeah, i've read that. Also Clear Image is a sort of HDR+ but results aren't as good as the original (they work in slight different way), in the original post i meant the porting of the whole official feature of Nexus 6 ( i don't know what have to be ported, maybe camera driver) to work with OPO. I also think that you're right, opo shot performances will be better with cm12s (they have rewritten camera driver to have camera2 support already in the first release, i read it on reddit...)

Nexus 5 camera update from LG G2

Story:
I broke my nexus 5 camera and replace it with LG G2 13 MP camera instead of using original 8 MP module.
Nexus 5 and G2 have same Chipset "Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800" and similar motherboards (camera port is same).
So I had no problems to fitting everything together.
Problem:
After this my camera app crushes when I try to use main camera. (when I use front facing camera everything works).
Question:
As I understand Android uses isolation layer (HAL) to separate Android Camera API and Camera driver layers.
I need to update Camera Driver and HAL will do the rest. At this point it is using old camera driver and camera app crushes.
How can I get LG G2 camera driver and how install it to my nexus 5 ?
Android version is 6.0.1 marshmallow.
Would be so cool if it works.
Try this: little to no chance of the working.
It surely needs compatible drivers.

They may be available in cm's source.
This needs a dev's attention.
Also, the ISP may not be able to handle the camera modules output.
Nexus 5 has camera.hammerhead.so inside /lib/hw/ so at least you have to replace it with the one from LG G2 (remember to set same file permissions) to have a chance to make it work and import settings from media_profiles.xml to support bigger resolutions but there could be a lot more, and to improve compatibility flash Lollipop 5.0 on your nexus 5 and get files from LG G2 Lollipop 5.0

I'm sorry but this discussion was made long time ago, I have no more a Nexus 5 and I've forgotten almost everything of that device. I guess I can't give you any help

How do I make 60fps recirdung with stock google camera or L camera on Android N ?

I use Dark ROM, buy L camera does not ask for root. I want to record 60fps videos as the videos by other apps are crappy. Can anyone guide me to do it?:fingers-crossed:
USe google camera 3.2 it is not crappy. best quality you can get from nexus 5 is to use official Google Camera 3.2 or Snapdragon supercamera

Even I am looking for 60 fps video recording mod. I tried the L camera app mod(replacing some library file), but the camera app was crashing. Probably its Lollipop specific.

Port Google Camera v4.4 to our moto g3?

Can someody do this? The google camera v4.4 has 2 problems with our device: It requires arm64, yet there are versions for arm in xda, but then another problem appears.. it requires camera2 api.
Can someone port this to our device? Like the moto camera that requires camera2 api was ported for us.
I agree, yes please! If possible. I'm running pixel experience. Maybe the latest version with portrait mode instead?
Google camera got only ported to Snapdragon 820/821 and 835 . I am very sceptical that somebody would actually do this, I better wish that video recording could be fixed in Oreo ROMS...

TRIPLE BOUNTY THREAD :: S9 Exynos version only google camera development

Bounty Thread :: for google camera s9 (exynos version ) with pixel 2 xl as model and pixel 2017 as processing parameter with both front and back hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced working along with potrait mode.
With superb camera hardware of s9 we could make it a superb camera phone, surely better than all of its rival:fingers-crossed:

Bounty 2 and 3 is very very highly to zero chance of happening as you need samsung proprietary code to do so. Even charles chow cannot get his nexus 5x and 6p gcam port to work on non human faces.

Brother first thing is this nexus 6p and nexus 5x doesnot have dual pixel hardware needed to support for potrait mode like pixel 2. I hope you got your answer. Without hardware support you cannot make a software to execute
I understand that but there are many other devices out there that have dual pixel but cannot work already. Those devices are cheaper and easier to work on than our s9+ regardless if it's exynos or snapdragon, but no one has been able to reverse engineer google's codes.

That is true also. Fingers cross
I'll contribute $20 for the first one as long as zsl is working.
Edit: canceled as of 9/5/18, I'm selling my S9 to get the OP6T
may be looping in gcam developers will help here i guess..
please adress the flash issue, can't take a picture with flash, there's a lag between the shutter and the flash.
I'm in with 20 bucks.
I've instaled the GCam and followed the sugestion of the user drexxie1962:
"Settings:
Model: Pixel 2XL
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Hdr+Auto
HDR+ parameters: Super High
Final jpg quality HDR+: 100%
Developer settings, checked camera.faceboxes"

Huge mistake, had to factory reset the phone. So there's that, beware when using the GCam for exynos as its seats.
Count me in with mine 20$

If the developers could implement this, portrait mode will be perfect?

Why it would be needed ?? All things works on s7 and s8 exynos , only s9 exynos version is not supporting pixel 2 zls and potrait mode on front camera otherwise potrait on rear works ( although laggy). Why do we need image segmentation like thing. Its pretty basic and has not been implemented yet so would be a very difficult and lengthy procedure for a dev.
If a thing is required is usage of dual pixel technology. As this will give power of potrait shootings on non- face subjects
not more people interested ?

Myself also not understanding why people are not showing interest and also not developer too. As s9 is a very popular device why is this happening. Really frustrating

It's quite complex to develop this kind of thing...
Maybe we can show current bounty value in the title of the thread to attract ?

No idea, when you edit your first post you can't change title as well ? Then maybe only a moderator can.
Guys great news. I was able to run pixel 2 as model and pixel 2016 zls as processing settings. I dont know what triggered it. But results were awesome much better than nexus 6 as model. But now its not running and keeps force closing even after several tries. I ran it on v3.4a of cstark27. Lets hope somebody will figure it out how it got run. Also news for front camera hdr+
Has anyone got any good news??very said that it is taking so much long for our devices. If possible somebody please reach miiniuser123 as he can do miracles for us just like he did for other exynos based samsung devices:fingers-crossed:
