Issues with Google Camera Effects

Hi, for months I've been trying to use the Google camera on my Moto G3 (XT1543, 1GB of RAM) and I had a lot of issues. First of all, the PlayStore version gives me a force close every time I try to enter the settings page, and that is awful, but the camera is still usable. But the main problems are the Lens Blur and panorama effects, which are not displaying between the camera modes(I'm only able to take pictures and record video). So my question would be if there's any way to enable this features or maybe a modded apk with all features enabled? Thanks!

No. That's features only works with a gyroscope, the Moto G 2015 doesn't have. It's a hardware limitation.

There is a way, but only works in marshmallow, Xposed, and isn't precise, so, the photos aren't the best.
For use panorama, use the Motorola Camera.

But I have another phone which doesn't have a gyroscope and I have the lens blur effect. And in my brother's Moto E 1st gen the lens blur effect is also available. I want Google camera mostly for that effect

I don't know why you can't use that feature, I can, I've installed the aroma package of Gapps and select the Google Camera. You can try that.

Can you upload the apk of your camera version? I'm on the stock ROM and I'm not rooted or anything, so I can't install that package, thanks

Android O picture in picture not working

Just installed the Android O Beta and a playing YouTube video doesn't go into Picture in Picture mode when I return to the homescreen.
Has anyone had this problem and was able to fix it, or has anyone just installed the O beta and has this working without a hitch?
Didn't work when I upgraded to the beta from 7.1.2, I have since tried a factory reset, and as far as the play store tells, there are no updates available to any app.

I installed the beta version of O today on my Pixel XL through Google beta program and picture in picture is not working for me either.
It's​ a reccurrent problem according to some reviews on YouTube.
I also heard that it currently only works with a YouTube red subscription...

This worked for me

Nice! I expected PiP to trigger automatically on pressing the home button, but this workaround certainly works. Cheers!

Picture and picture working on Android O DP4, last time I try to exit porn without pausing XD

Get the app "Custom Navigation Bar" from Play store, enter 171 as the keycode when you create an extra navigation button. I chose the screenshot icon as my PIP button. Works great.

As I stated on this post, get the app "Custom Navigation Bar" by paphonb and enter 171 for the keycode when you create a new button. I used the screenshot icon for my button, looks sharp.

maybe, i am in Denmark, dont work here either, in system tuner i only have status bar and dont distrub options.

Same here. Canada. Doesn't work with Chrome or YouTube.

Everyone on this thread -- the PiP mode only works for certain apps that support it. Not all apps support it. Also, all the apps that do support it will request for your permission to use the mode.
If you go to Apps & notifications > Special app access, you will find a permission node for picture-in-picture.

Thanks, mcbeat—the default behaviour is that it's turned on for every compatible app though automatically. So, unfortunately, this doesn't help ?.

Yep not working here in the UK, what's the point in having PIP as a feature if it doesn't work properly - if it's bull**** to make me get YouTube Red - then it's not working, in fact if Google did that it would be a really **** move.

New update

My fingerprint reader is noticeably faster and more accurate.

Looks like they have optimized the memory as I asked for I have a lot more Ram after closing every thing, I used to have 4.50gb ram now after just updating, I close every thing and I now have

And I Re registered my fingerprints inline with the fingerprint scanner update and it does seem to be alot better , just need better lock screen notifications I.e bezel border colours and I'm good to go, off-topic but has anyone got a YouTube substitute that allows you too use your YouTube account but let you use a different player I.e MX PLAYER OR VLC PLAYER or even a later version of YouTube that allows you to set the playback resolution you've set and keep it at that value, because I always have to change it from the default 480p which is so annoying, plus.. On my vivo v9 in the third part display options YouTube used to be in there which stopped you from always having to stretch to fit screen, but on this phone and the funtouch version YouTube is not in there for some reason, I'd just like it to stay stretched to fit screen instead of having to do it for every God dam video Grrrrr, any ideas would be appreciated.

I second that fingerprint has surely become fast.

Can some one explain if the global and chinese version is follow the same content in the updates or is it simply different ? I mean... according the the numbering the global version is some versions behind compared to the chinese roms ? is this correct that the chinese version seem to get faster and more updates ? (this is usually case with most chinese phones that the global version does not get updates as fast.

Got the update, too.
Battery life and SOT same?

They have also added a video editing option album.

Mine are still there.

Battery has definitely not worse, upgraded if anything.

Not sure if this is a bug due to new update but when I get a voicemail notification and I click to check the voicemail I get a message displaying "tips call not sent, no valid number entered". Anyone else facing this issue?

Finally a new working Google Camera app..?

Arnova8G2's Google Camera Port got updated days ago with a new version : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79011638&postcount=1333 - I'm on Oreo Stock.
When i install it (not the TinNeun version, the other one), the app doesn't crash but screen is black.. Perhaps a little tweak and it'd all work?

Wanna know as well

Here is a full working Google Pixel Camera V.5.1 with HDR+ and 4K Video Record (30FPS) for the S7 Exynos modded by IDan1109 :
Video only works in 1920x1080p (Full Hd) I also set the Picture Quality from 97 to 100 and Picture back camera to 16/9 and i set "Remove the ISO limit in dark conditions" - on
FOR 4K VIDEO RECORDING and Hevc activate hevc in devloper options from Gcam app and install the Magisk Modul Samsung UHD Camera2 Fix and ARCore from Playstore
Tested on S7 Exynos! Dont change to 60 FPS in video Mode otherwise you must uninstall and install the app again for video to work again. The pictures with HDR+ are much better compared with Zero Camera Mod HDR.

I can't even go to settings : it crashes at launch..! I'm using stock oreo. Do i know to install some patch (magisk or else)?

I am currently quite impressed by the GCAM xenius0 mod version provided by ExpressLuke. I guess it is still based on 5.1. Nevertheless, night shots look great. Besides Lens Blur, all works fine on my S7 Exynos (stock ROM). Here is the download link (scroll down to Google Camera Port): https://expressluke.ml/pages/extras.html

Interesting, never heard about that one before, i hardly imagine a v5 better than Irdn though, would you mind telling us what's better with it?

My feeling is that pictures at night are less noisy, and flash-light indoor picture are more homogeneously illuminated. I am using the default settings.

I must have tried more than 10 versions without success.

I have been using PMGC_7.2.014_Relesed_V1.apk and its working greatly with back and front cam till now. I haven't tested video and astrophotography. Shall test it and post the review here soon.

Worked OK for a few shots, then decided it was going to hang whenever I picked NightSite.
But do any of the 7.* Gcam ports work on the Z2 Force (Pie) without crashing? I tried one or two that could take a pic or two before they permanently went into auto-crash mode when I opened them.
Are there settings I need to set for the ports to work?

You might clear the cache and storage for the default and Gcam, then disable stock cam and try Gcam again. It can be finicky to setup.
Alternatively, this cam worked good for me. Burst mode worked great but no night site. So pick your poison. GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk

I'm using this on Pie : PMGC_7.2.014_Relesed_V1.apk
No problems except of crashing in Video mode but you can capture videos from the photo mode while pressing down for 2sec the shooting button.
If there is another working version of Gcam as well, let us know.
I have also to notice that the Night Site seems very vivid as regards the colours, is this right?

This is the latest working (Night Sight, Portrait, etc) GCam for this phone (running Android v10) that I could find:

I am running LineageOS v17.1, and this seems to work great.
