[APP]Google Pixel 2 Portrait mode now works! - Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods

This thread is not to be in anyways to flame or downgrade the Essential's dual camera/portrait mode! I am simply just posting so others can have something to tinker with in low lighting! Essential's portrait mode is amazing in great outdoor lighting, but indoor lighting it suffers bad due to compression issue and color algorithm. If you pay attention, indoor pictures including portraits taken when lighting is at soft white, ~2700K to 3200K or so, the pictures turn out very washed out. There are no saturation to the picture at all, or sharpness of details and it just looks bad.
Arnova8G2 has been porting the BSG version of the google cam and it is AMAZING for non-google devices, including ours, however his version somehow does gives a greenish tint to our devices since he original was working on the port only for the OP3/3T. Now, he has combined Charle Chow's Camera NX portrait mode to his app here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75047190&postcount=2270 .
Please report all bugs or any errors, and color issues related to our devices here and tag him so he will know. Thanks again @Arnova8G2
Edit: NEEDS TO BE ON OREO BETA 1 OR 2!!
New version uploaded by Arnova8G2: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hvonKrb7hUqhqll4Qbglc9epdvanzFKW . Front camera works flawlessly, however we lose all sounds when taking pictures regardless front or back camera. Can anyone upload a logcat here? I can't get matlab to send my logs, kept crashing no matter what I do.
FIX FOR SOUND LOSS! Thank you to radaloel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75062638&postcount=31

What hdr settings are you using?
On 7.1.1, most of the settings are crashing the app.

Could you upload some shots to compare?

Messing with the settings and it seems that "Config camera HDR+" has to be set to "No HDR+" or the video recorder does not work.

Can you see if you can replicate this bug? Take a picture in hdr+ on, using the 6P setting, normal or portrait mode. You should lose sound immediately. If you still have sounds, use fb messenger, trigger the voice message function and send your friend a voice message. Now you should lose all sounds and requires a restart. I don't know if this is a bug caused by the ported app or in oreo beta.

And I just rebooted and got sound back then tried using voice command in regular messaging app so it looks like it might be something to do with voice recording or the messenger app itself. Not a deal breaker for me cause I don't ever use messenger voice messaging.

Fb messenger has no issue if you do not activate gcam. It works fine by itself. At first I thought it would be my pixel 2 launcher I installed that is crashing all sounds but it's not because it works fine in Nougat.
I have the freezing issue too when I restart. It just goes to a black screen. Did you take a logcat of all that scenario?

This has been a known issue on PH-1 for any GCam port I've tried. I had been using a BSG port from back in November, dealing with loss of sound intermittently after using the app. Fear not!
As far as I can tell, the mic does not stop working. You need to turn off all notifications for the Gcam app. Just turn 'em all off. The whole app. Reboot to be safe once you have. Fixed my issues right up. No guarantee using camcorder will not cause sounds to stop though, I haven't tested it. I don't take many videos.
Also, I'm using @Arnova8G2 Front HDR+ version posted here. I'm using these settings with great results (actually the same as I what I posted in the other thread forever ago! Glad it still works.)

I can confirm this DOES NOT work in oreo beta 2. When I was on Nougat in Essential, all the BSG version I used worked when trigger the microphone, ie.. facebook messenger or recording video. It did not work at all in oreo since beta 1. Arnova8g2 version never worked at all either! I used the same configs I used in Nougat as well. Turning off notifications allows sounds but stopped as soon as you trigger microphone. Then when you hit restart, the phone freeze and you have to do a hard restart by holding the power button down.

Even on that version when I use HDR+ and switch to video it causes the problem. I turned off HDR+ and tried again and the video still causes the sound issues so this is not a stable app just yet for our device imho hopefully the dev can iron the problems out for us to enjoy this great mod. I really like the selfie portrait was pretty sweet

Is working in Eye candy. Enabled notification and screen time out of 30 seconds. When looking at screen eye is open all the time. Turn phone away and eye closes shortly. But if I turn phone back on me, after about 10 seconds eye opens back up and screen stays on.
Launched from one mean machine hopped up on some AOKP!!
which version is working for the sensation? theres so much versions and mind telling which rom you use OP?
Both DL links are for a Gnex fix. Where is the DL link for the actual app? Or, did I miss something simple?

I have the ibolt car dock. I use it every day. My screen is fine. I'm running Beans 14 now, it worked with jellywiz and stock route 66. Now on that note I have show home screen display checked in dock settings and auto rotate screen checked in display settings. Hope maybe that solves your problem. The only problem I have with it is that if you have a large 4x2 widget on a screen it will cut off the bottom row of icons. I just moved my nav button up a row. The other complaint is I wish the in call sound would play through the car. Everything else works great. Been stupidly driving around watching college football on it on Saturdays, lol. Good luck.

Have both checked. Works fine as long as charge cable not plugged in. Plug in and both cameras flip.
Anyone notice that the charging on the ibolt is pretty bad? Have it plugged in with music and nav, and its actually draining slowly. If a plug in another charger, it charges fine.
Note that audio is being fed through usb.

Verizon replaced my phone due to issues with 5.0

I had so many issues with the upgrade from alarm clock not working, phone getting hot to missed calls due to phone going straight to voicemail that when I called Verizon they decided to replace the phone. I asked for one with the KIt Kat OS and got one today. Phone working like a champ again. Yes, I did the cache clearing and did factory reset twice. My phone just didn't like the Lollipop. Anyway, it's an option for those that are having issues.

Id take the update again. Surely the same issues aren't present in your new phone
I didn't have any glitches with my phone, but I didn't like how Lollipop handled the notifications in Silent mode (no notification light.) So I ODINed back to KitKat. That, and if I understand directly, Lollipop runs in ARTS, meaning no XPOSED when rooted, meaning to Root Cloak (which I need for the Softcard app.)
The official Lollipop is not for me, but I'll keep an eye out if a talented developer can "fix" these issues in a custom ROM.
Not sure and not willing to take the chance. I was missing too many calls before. Yeah, I could have used Odin and gone back but I took the easy way out. Frankly, my days of messing with the phones are over. Did the whole BB and the earlier Android rooting on Evos and other phones but I'm getting tired of doing that. I was a flashaholic for a long time trying different OS's all the time. The S4 was my last playtoy.

I've found my battery life to be dramatically high now that I'm on LL. I may go back to KK as well unless someone knows of a way to correct the high battery use
I've also been experiencing some issues with the Lollipop update.
•high battery drain;
•phone sitting on table w/screen off, picked it up to find it overheating and was failing to cool itself down; had to pull the battery;
I went back to the old phone and I'm trying to make it work. Did more factory resets and it seems like the phone is actually ringing and allowing me to answer calls now and I'm getting notifications again. Maybe the 4 or 5 resets finally took hold. The replacement phone was bugging the hell out of my trying to force me to download 5.0 every time I used it. Going tp play with it a few more days before I return one of the phones to Verizon. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.......

That, and if I understand directly, Lollipop runs in ARTS, meaning no XPOSED when rooted, meaning to Root Cloak (which I need for the Softcard app.)
The official Lollipop is not for me, but I'll keep an eye out if a talented developer can "fix" these issues in a custom ROM.

A new Xposed that work on ARTS is currently under development. Viper4Android incompatibility is a major reason I went back to KK.

Cool, that will help greatly. Maybe an XPosed module will also help with the notifications too (my issue is the LED in silent mode not working, but I think I've seen others having problems with no alarms or anything in silent mode either. Not sure, never tested that before going back to KK.)

I understand that. Lollipop's battery is great and @elliwigy ROM'S battery is damn great on lollipop. I only need amplify and greenify if I use xposed on lollipop which is more GREAT battery! Lol.

Screensaver Clock & Battery indicator

Hi, does anyone know an app or hack for this?
Picture attached is of an S7.
Cheers.
Nevermind, it seems MIUI doesn't include Daydream which is required like many others do.
Maybe it can be added? I have root & Xposed but no idea yet on how to achieve it.
Let me Google that...

Tried this app which works but the capacitive keys stay lit up, even with the work around plug in installed

Thanks!! I'll try that out

Hey mate, I installed this & the plug in, gave it overdraw permissions as requested but when I go into settings the app tries to show a preview but all I get is a black screen, I've tried upping the opacity & other settings but to no avail? Does it show on yours?

Yea it worked, trying to think if there was something else i enabled...did you enable anything in accessibility options?
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
Have you still got it installed? If so is it listed under Accessibility/Services? Mine isn't.
Might try a re-install..

Uninstalled it, I'll try it again later and see. It definitely worked as I changed some options for the clock layout and seen they changed on screen.

Without AMOLED screen this function is without any sense...

Yep thankyou champ, works perfectly.
Obviously AMOLED is not a requirement for this to work.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Hello, sorry for delay, I have installed a app which name is Awake!! from Pablo Criado in playstore, but battery is spent right away. Luck for you!

[SOLVED] 'jelly-lag' scrolling effect

Just received my OP6 8/256 and what do I notice!? yep, the 'jelly-lag' scrolling effect!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't they solve this with OP5t?
Has anyone same issue?
I just contact OnePlus and I'll send the screen record I made so they can analyse it
Never heard of that before now, but looking at some videos of the effect in action I can say I definitely haven't come across it yet: https://goo.gl/photos/T79KbQjpZZ5cychR9
Does this occur in all apps?
Not in all apps.
But when scrolling up and down in SETTINGS or DEVELOPER OTIONS it does

The shadow on top and bottom, is this normal? wasn't this solved with OP5t?
I don't see anything. I could notice it on my OP5

I see the shadow on video and on my phone. The shadow may be by design. I'm not sure.

Yes, it is clear on my phone. Again, I think this is by design under Settings. I can't see it in other apps.

That seems very different to the 'jelly' effect in the video I posted earlier.
I use the dark theme so can't see any shadow normally, but even changing to the light theme didn't show any issues either.
Sorry, not much help. Hopefully you can sort it soon.

Yes maybe it's "shadow effect", and not as I mentioned jelly effect.
But still, is this normal?"

it's just a animation, when you are in the end, drag and hold to top your finger to see it
If you're referring to the "arch" shadow that appears when you scroll all the way down or up, it not jelly scrolling. It's been like that by design. I think even my 1+3 &1+3T had it.

I did some deeper digging on to the "issue" and I guess you mean that the text will seem to rip apart and refresh at a different rate on some parts of the screen led's, therefore showing as it's kinda stretching when you scroll fast? Yeah, that is there, but I don't see that as an issue. I really, really had to stare at big black letters on white to see the effect. But I really don't see it as an issue, at least it isn't a deal breaking one. The phone flies and mine's got 256 GB of storage. So you were right, but c'mon.

I think that this is the "jelly effect". The screen is Oneplus 3, shot on my Oneplus 6 (480 fps).
