[PORT] Huawei P20 Camera (EMUI 8.1) - Huawei P20 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello ! This is a port from the Huawei P20 camera, based on EMUI 8.1.
Additional fixes:
Gallery preview fixed
Portrait mode photo are now saving
What is not working:
Nothing ! If you got any issues you can report it here.
Informations:
This port should work on Huawei P20, P20 Pro under Treble roms, but also on other devices..
Just flash the zip file in TWRP, and enjoy !
If you are under Treble ROM, I'd recommand you using "Google Photos", it's faster than stock gallery app.
I wanna thank @flex1911 for his help on this port. Without him it wouldn't be possible.

quick question - is there any difference between the P20 and P20 Pro camera apps? Don't really see what they could change, so don't know if it's worth to flash on a stock P20.

This is a port from P20, not P20 Pro.
There's no reason to flash this on stock P20.
It's useful for Treble roms only.

Does Raw work for anyone with a p20 pro? I'm on lineage and it crashes the app.
Everything else works great and I finally have pro mode monochrome back and the "color" options in the normal photo/video mode.

RAW mode is working well on my P20 (Phh-treble 8.1), can you give me the logs please ?

Here you go, started recording the log right before opening the camera and eventually I switched to raw and it blacks out the viewfinder. You can still switch modes for a little bit but eventually the camera app just stops responding.

Going to take a look. Thanks for the log, it will be very helpful.

I installed it on my P10, using DotOs, and I can say that it works perfectly! :laugh: :good: this is a great port, everything working, even raw and gallery.
Thank you so much for this port bro.

I can confirm that raw mode in p20 pro freezes the camera app. I'm running latest LOS.

Hey, thanks for the good work.
I'm trying it out on a P20 Pro running the Pixel Experience Treble Rom, and am I doing something wrong or does the gallery not work? it keeps saying that I need to add a gallery to the work profile or something along the lines of that

Doesn't work for me either on lineage 15.1. This is still my favorite camera app despite the gallery issue and raw not working on lineage
Since you are on pixel experience with a p20 pro, does raw work with this camera? I'm curious if it's a rom issue or app issue. Also, how's the rom? Anything not work?

Raw freezes the camera app so I guess that's a No.
I've tried Lineage 15.1 and Pixel Experience together with Havoc and the rest for the P20 Pro. Imho, Pixel Experience is my go to.
Lineage is great, but there's just that little bit of lack of responsiveness that I can feel in the UI that bugs me. Another breaker for me was not being able to use it in dual sim mode. It kept dropping my signals left and right, making it super irritating when I was travelling and using two sims at the same time.
Pixel Experience is incredibly smooth and fluid, more so than Lineage (reminds me of my U11+, albeit not quite there), though there are some bugs but not breaking.
VoLTE doesn't work, though I guess that's pretty much all AOSP ROMs, no fast charging with the Huawei Supercharger, and the signal bars are shown as half all the time for some reason, though I don't think this affected my overall usage at all.
Other than that, it's perfect.

I’ll have to give it a try. 8.1 or 9.0? Just erecovery to stock, wipe system and flash?

8.1, the last time I tried 9.0 it bootlooped, not too sure why but I haven't tried 9.0 ever since.
I flashed mine using TWRP, but you could use fastboot as well if you wanted to.

Not working
I'm using pixel experience rom and it does not even open

Is it possible to make a magisk module of this port?
Any chance to run this port on miui stock roms?

The download is trashed? Was hoping this could work on the OnePlus 7 pro

Can someone Update the link please? This was the only version that worked for me.

I would also like to request a new download link. Please and thanks!

@Androlark bro can you re-upload the file, the current link is down, thank u

Which Gcam version are you using for your Mi Note 3?

Hi all,
I am curious which gcam version are you using for your Mi Note 3 since I want to make sure that we are using the best version possible.
I have Global Stable 10.1.2 Rom (Nougat) and below are the only apps that are working to some extent, but share yours if you think your version is better/has more working options. Unfortunately, there are no Gcam versions with Night Sight for Nougat, but do share them with the rest of us, pointing out which android version you are using.
For Nougat:
Arnova's v8.3b1: GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk---------- good for taking photos with HDR+ enhanced, NO good for video, front camera is also no good, no night sight, no slow motion. Panorama, photo sphere and Lens Blur seem to be working.
v5.3.015 v.1.0.15 final--------good only for 4K video not Full HD, No good for photos, no front camera, no night sight, no slow motion. Panorama, photo sphere and Lens Blur seem to be working.
Do share your opinion and improve the discussion. DONT ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS! There are plenty of topics about that. Just share if you installed gcam.
Thank you
It is more about what settings do you use. GCam 5 would be perfect for me since with nexus 6p back camera is the best but selfie one is bad so when I was on MIUI I was using mostly arnova's Gcams also we have @WebDingo who made one port of GCam special for our device so you can use that one too with his settings.

I understand your point, but the thing is different versions have different options working. Here are 2 more versions that a user shared on another forum
GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk: Night mode, Photobooth, faster capture and processing time in general, slow motion not working (probably working on Oreo only)
GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk: for slow motion with sound only as everything else is slower here (works on Nougat)
Also If you are on a beta with Oreo, I advise you to check the Pixel 3 mods since they have Night Sight and it is amazing (please see below)

Yeah, GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk is working on my lineageos 15.1 and if you ask me, significant improvement from stock camera and gcam pixel 2 mod. Night sight is also working. But you have to install xiaomi mi a2 camera magisk module first to use it.

Ok, first you have to install front camera hdr+ fix magisk module if you haven't already.
Then you have to flash the following magisk module.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JMBz_PNFwcv92RQLBQUCg_9_2XcX1Q6M/view?usp=drivesdk
Then install the mentioned gcam and enjoy.

Thanks for the feedback. It might be worth mentioning that your link doesn't seem to work, but I resolved the issue by installing the Mi A2 Magisk Module and the following camera.
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun_Fix
Thanks for your help!
Update
So I'm using EU stable 10.2.3 Rom and these are the details for the gcams
Although I installed the fix for Front camera, I couldn't find a single camera that will have the front camera working for me!
These are not working for me at all
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d_fu24-01f.apk
GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_IDan_N6_4.1_fix.apk
MGC_5.2.022_1.0.apk probably working only on pie roms
Probably the best versions so far are
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3c_fix_TlnNeun.apk
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun.apk
Photo and slow motion don't work, but night sight and video do work. (tip: use night sight for daylight photos too)
GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk Very Fast capture and processing! Photo,video, night sight works. No Slow motion
For Slow Motion
GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1-- only for slow motion, but its relatively dark!
GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-17_845Colorfix.apk, photo work, video-slomo work but relatively dark,Doesn't have night sight
Do recommend other versions that you have tried.
Sorry @mwarner I didn't check the link before posting it. But link updated if anyone's interested.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qs3bOCSx78P1kEogAfOSN1DJ1ueeTTx1/view?usp=drivesdk
Also MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun_Fix.apk this version is buggy and slow for me. Thanks anyway.
I think this works. I am on global miui 10. You have to use magisk fix for the front camera portrait. Hope it works for you. GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk

Hi, did you check if there is a setting in BSG mod menu named FIX. If it exists check for Slow motion and change it to 120fps.
You can try these versions https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk and this one https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.2beta_build.6.1.013.apk

Issues on MIUI 10.3.7.0 for Redmi note 7 pro

1)
Saturation

A big degradation. The default camera colors aren't live or properly vivid enough so Saturation mode was very necessary.
Wonder why does Xiomi keeps f**ukcing with very essential settings. Disgusting!!
2)
Previously If we ran the Default camera app and then Gcam in background, shifting back to stock camera never used to freeze it.
Now I have to exit close both the cams and cannot run both simultaneously in the background as only Gcam works properly and stock cam freezes.
Already tried clear data/cache for stock camera its useless.
Now have to search for a compatible GCam for this update. If anyone has link to latest Gcam do share the link or apk.
Also camera video recording lege problem not solved
I have also updated my Redmi Note 7 Pro to MIUI 10.3.7.
But I can easily open 2-3 camera Apps simultaneously, there is no freezing issue.
The only issue I found in this update is heating. The temperature easily goes to 40c and at this temperature, the device is charging at 60mA rate.

Try charging it in the night as temperature during the day in India is pretty high. It might be the cause of overheating.
After this update RAM also getting used more than before.

GCam Lens Blur and Photo Sphere issues

Hello,
Recently received my Mix 2S and liking it a lot so far. My only issue so far is that in Google Camera from any modder on any AOSP ROM, the lens blur and photo sphere modes are bugged. They do output images, but the resultant image is far too overexposed.

Other Camera apps?
Did you give a try to other camera apps such as (the free & open-source software) Open Camera (https://opencamera.sourceforge.io/)? It has recently supported panorama mode.

I did give open camera's panorama a shot as per your recommendation, but the image from that is also similarly overexposed. what's even more strange is that gcam's dedicated panorama mode (not the one in photo sphere mode) does not have such an issue. also, I'd rather have one camera app that does most things properly, rather than having a multitude of camera apps to fix what is broken on others (having anxcam do stabilised video is the only compromise I'm willing to make). furthermore, open camera doesn't have a wide angle option like on gcam.

It is true that using only one camera app is preferable, but comparison with different apps could be used to determine where the problem originates. If another app does not have the same issue, it could be a problem of the algorithm in certain apps. A sidenote: it could happen that proprietary binaries do not appear in the custom ROMs due to various reasons.

well since open camera has a similar bug I guess it's a vendor issue then. but now I am just curious as to whether other people are getting similar results as me when they use the lens blur and photo sphere modes in gcam.
update: after flashing global miui 11.0.4.0 (gcam needs google services to work apparently), issues have been resolved and now works properly on aosp roms. i think it was due to the pixel3rom i flashed prior to other aosp roms, which seems to utilise a different vendor that overwrote the stock camera lib but was subsequently not overwritten by the vendors of other aosp roms.

Hi, sorry for bumping but I'm facing the same issue for Poco F1.
Are you using Android 10 or 9? AFAIK, that fw is for 10 but I don't want to update to 10 yet. Is it compatible with 9?

at the time 11.0.4.0 was pie. not sure about pocophone. the issue was only present on certain aosp pie roms, now that I'm using 10 I've not run into this problem. perhaps u can try flashing back to stock miui and trying out a few pie roms and see which rom+vendor combo works best for u.

[HELP] GCam Camera Port For Blackview BV9800 PRO

Hello everyone,
For quite of a time I am struggling to find working GCam app that would work on non-rooted Blackview BV9800 Pro. I have tried 20+ apps but none of those worked ?
I don't know how the ports work, but maybe there is Google Cam app ported for other device that would work on my phone as well?
Or maybe developer of GCam mods could take a look into this?
I previously had Xiaomi Poco F1 and the GCam was awesome on it. Right now on BV9800 Pro I have good camera hardware, but the original app is far away in quality compared to GCam...
P.S., I will buy a beer for the guy who will make the GCam work on BV9800 Pro! ??
Hopefully someone would be interested in porting the GCam app. I'm runnung a rooted bv9800pro and one of the few cons about this device is the poor cam app packed with.
Yes, that's right. You might think Your cam is not so bad, but if You have ever had GCam, then You have no doubt about what's good and what's bad ?

Ok, so to root ir is easy with Magisk. It seems that GCam works only with SnapDragon (as that's what I've found on google). Tried few things, but it seems that only very old gcam app worked for me... ?
I hold fingers crossed for the GCam for Mediatek or for very best alternatives that available for it (any ideas? Is there any app even close to GCam?)

Sorry for the late response, I'm not around the forum as often... here are the steps:
Download the latest FW from Blackview's forums.
Unzip it using 7zip.
Flash the whole Firmware using FlashTools
After flashing and first successful boot, unlock bootloader from Developer menu or running the following commands in cmd...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
Once unlocked, enable USB Debugging.
Move boot.img to your phone.
Install Magisk Manager and patch boot.img
Once the patching finishes, search for Patched boot.img in Storage/Magisk folder and move it to your PC.
Flash only the patched boot.img with FlashTools
Install Magisk Manager.
Done.
Make sure you have the most recent drivers installed and your phone gets detected properly.

Already did this while ago, also installed Riru -Core module via Magisk, as well as Riru -EdXposed (installed sandhook, the yahfa version was very buggy), installed Gravity Box and everything works perfectly. The GCam is something special that I must have and I am willing to dinate to anyone who makes it work on BV9800Pro! ?
GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850
Hi LGZACRO,
I tested the GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850.apk from Arnova8G2.
The Foto mode works with the bv9800 pro but video mode crashes.
I use the hedgecam 2 at my bv9800 pro.
There you can switch of edge enhancement and noise reduction under Filtering.
Sometimes the bv9800 pro camera app do to much denoise.
I posted this information already in the blackview forum but
the admins there dont publish this post :-/
Ciao Jens

Thanks so much for the info!
I don't know how many apps You have tested, but what if we split the developers apps together and test them one by one, then we make a list with notes of apps that works and what major issues they have, so we know major things about GCam on BV9800Pro and then, if no app seems to work good enough, we create a new thread here and ask for developers to fix bugs. What do You think?
Hi LGZACRO,
i feel the idea:
" ... but what if we split the developers apps together and test them one by one,
then we make a list with notes of apps that works and what major issues they have..."
is not so good.
I dont would like to install dozens apps on my phone by sideload.
I think gcam port for bv9800 pro can only make by a developer.
Who can develope and debug the gcam code for the
sony imx582 sensor and MTK helio p70 soc.
I am not able to to such things :-/
The other point is:
From my opinion
the under average picture quality of the bv9800 pro main cam
as mentioned e.g. here:
please google: "Blackview-BV9800-Pro-smartphone-review-Rugged-smartphone-with-an-infrared-camera.451160.0.html"
is not only a software problem.
I think the lens in this cam is not good enough for the big aperture (small fnumber of about 1.75).
And I can see in the pictures done by hedgecam 2 without filtering (sharpening, denoise) that there is some edge enhancement (on the imx582 chip?).
In the attachent are two crops:
One done by bv9800pro cam (fine structures are smoothed.
One done by hedgecam 2 without filtering (but with artefacts of edge enhancement).
At last the Camera2 api works at stock rom (no root)
but only without raw support.
Ciao Jens

Does hedgecam also allow using the 5MP camera on the back of the Blackview BV9800 Pro? Does it allow using the FLIR camera too, or is that only through the FLIR app?
I noticed that hedgecam allows using e.g. the near-infrared camera on the front of the Google Pixel 4 (normally only used for face-unlock). This made me curious about using hedgecam to use other auxiliary CCDs to take photos.

Hi __niflheim,
I have only access tho the 48 mpix cam and the selfie cam by the hedge cam app. The 5 mpix cam and the FLIR sensor can only used by the MyFLIR app :-/
Ciao Jens
I struggled to find any gcam mod for my A100.
I only found this one , which was gcam made for cheaper android phones with lower chipsets.
Atleast its better then the stock cam.
Blackview talks a big game about cameras, but they not.

Thanks for your commitment to provide ROM's for this phone @Mr_A_Warner !

Big step over Lin20, thanks - good work.

Dual App isn't a native feature of Pixel Extended, so isn't here.
Hey Google should have worked, although I don't use it myself
New update now out.
Now including MIUI Camera and so both normal lens and telephoto lens is working by default.
I've also updated the maintainer tag if you go into the about section.

Does Your ROM supports OTA update?

SMS messages are working fine for myself. Have you tried using the default Google messages app?
Now is with Google app.
The only problem I found in the ROM. Not sure if this is some config.
I installed the ROM from stock Miui 12.5 CN.
Changed interface scale and text scale.
Not sure if this affects emojis output.
A see them if someone sent me emojis the problem is when I send them.
Wanted you to know this ROM works on my Mi Mix 3.
Only issue I found is that the camera app crashes sometimes. ( loses connection)
Very easy install, starting with Global image, installed TWRP using XioaTool V2, manually installed Magisk-v25 from TWRP, wiped everything and formatted data. Using external USB drive to install from.
Very clean and phone performance is very good.
Thanks for your hard work

Regarding the issues with the camera, I'm sorry.
I'll be reverting to the stock camera for Pixel Extended for it's stability. I'm trying to work out if that camera can support both lenses but even without, I'll provide the next update when it's available

Don't have to apologize, Thank you for the good work! Just realized that I have put my Pixel 4a 5g aside and use my mix 3 as a daily driver.
Hi, can anyone test emojis in SMS? just try to send to yourself a SMS with emojis and see if they appear.
Apart from that the ROM seems very good and bank apps work without problems.
Tried to install again without luck, other ROMs like MIUI.EU 12.5 works fine with emojis. Don't know why I can't send them in this ROM but I can receive fro other person.

I've tested it myself and everything is fine.
Have you got the right APN settings?
