GLOBAL USERS, LATEST NEWS: WORKING GCAM3 with FRONT CAM and TIME LAPSE!
This thread was created to achieve, at first, two goals:
Organize useful information on the main topic about GCAM for GL/CN users and CONSTANTLY UPDATE IT;
Direct new users to a "solution" regarding GCAM on Global/China variants;
MY SPECS:
Phone: Redmi Note 5 Pro 64GB/4GB (CN and came with GLOBAL ROM installed)
ROM: Havoc Mod ROM (Android 9.0/Pie)
Understand the "problem" between the Indian vs Global/CN variants:
Indian variant uses Sony sensors on both front and rear cameras. So modders didn't had too much trouble porting GCAM for them;
GLOBAL/CN variants have the Samsung S5K2L7 sensor (same sensor used in RN6 Pro) on the rear, and on the front camera we have a Omnivision sensor (here lies the problem).
Know that: THERE'S NO WAY OF MAKING GCAM WORK ON ANDROID PIE WITHOUT A PATCH!
MAGISK METHOD NOTE:
UPDATE: There might be a light for your, warrior!
As gracefully explained by our fellow Desmanto, there are some steps you can take in order to make the Magisk modules work.
If it helps you on your lonely journey, please hit the Thanks button on his response. I'll only link his explanation.
I noticed that installing a PATCH through it isn't a guarantee of success.
Even when I installed AdAway on my phone, magisk took a while to finally grant root access to it... So it means it's a shot in the dark.
Once I was able to install the RN5 Camera Patch v1.035a(Pie 9.0).zip by nhappyman and make it properly work. But only once!
As pointed out by the user misiek735:
"If you install everything and you choose 4k with eis enabled in gcam 5.1 settings
and it does not work (camera error) then it means that patch is not working
at all and you make somewhere during the instalation proces a mistake."Since the process of installing the patch, rebooting, checking if the patch was installed successfully, removing it, rebooting, installing again...
isn't as pretty as I'd like, I advise you all to take the TWRP route.
TWRP ROUTE: THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE ROAD:
Right, this is where the fun begins!
First of all, my rig consists of two GCAM:
Pixel 3 (For anything related to rear camera: Normal, Portrait, Nightsight and SlowMo) - MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TInNeun_2
Pixel 2 (Front Camera; Front Portrait Mode) - GoogleCamera-5.1.018.177624777-Urnyx05Mod
Patch used: RN5 Camera Patch TWRP v1.035a (Pie_9.0).zip (Reading through threads, I've came to the conclusion this one is guaranteed to work. New versions are out there to be tested. Please share your results)
With these guys I can do pretty everything* (passing the "misiek735 test" pointed out earlier):
SlowMo: [email protected] or [email protected]
Front/Rear Camera Portrait
Front/Rear Live Motion
Rear Camera video: [email protected], [email protected]
>>>*REMEMBER THAT ANY PIXEL 3 CAMERA FCs ON FRONT CAMERA!<<<
>>>*Not anymore. Check the end of this post!<<<
DOWNLOAD:
- Fantastic mods/patch, but... Where to find them?
At the moment, I'm going to point out the direction (since I'm not aware if I hold any rights to upload myself those files)
TWRP v1.035a patch:
Look for a Telegram Group called RN5 Camera Patch™ | Channel (@rn5cp - https://t.me/rn5cp)
Go to group details (tap on the group's title) -> Files -> Search in October 2018 for: RN5 Camera Patch TWRP v1.035a (Pie 9.0).zip
GCAMs:
Celso Azevedo's Page;
Telegram Group: Google Camera (Whyred) ( @gcamWhyred )
Telegram Group: Gcams Downloads (Whyred) ( @gcamdownloadswhyred )
And this very XDA page.
It's worth reading this message posted by Desmanto
Hope this thread can provide useful and reliable information for you guys.
Please share additional information, ask questions and correct any wrong information.
Cheers.
UPDATE: 2019/04/30
LATEST NEWS: WE HAVE A WORKING GCAM3!
Yesterday was release a brand new version for us GLOBAL users! It's a GCAM3 (Pixel 3 Camera App) with a working front camera!
Search for the APK on the Telegram Group gcamWhyred!
Look for:
Gcam 6.2.024 Advanced V2.1.beta._190429.1903.apk
In order to make the front camera work and use a lag-free app, you must use these settings presented on the attachments!
Or click here and check my shared Google Photos gallery.
Note:
I'm currently using the TWRP v1.035a patch
There's a new version called RN5 Camera Patch v2.034a that might fix the issues I'm going to talk about next, but I didn't test it yet (please, you can provide feedback here if you will), so bear with me.
Known Issues (So far):
If you zoom (use the digital zoom prior to the shot), it'll FC the app and a low resolution (probably the image in the buffer) will be saved in your gallery. (Zoomed shots on the front camera work!) Just set "Using Sabre" OFF and will be good to go! (From what I've understood this an algorithm to enhance zoomed pictures)
Occurred to me once, but you might get an black picture every now and never.
While recording something the "viewfinder" might show a worst image than the one which is actually being recorded.
Night Sight is laggy! It'll work as intended but you'll experience it's 1/3s shutter speed. Seems like it's already collecting data about the scenario prior to the shot.
UPDATE: 2019/05/14
Latest News: We have a working GCAM v6.2.030 (i.e. Time Lapse capable)
Today was shared on gcamWhyred telegram group a GCAM3 with the new time lapse.
Look for:
Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.1beta6.190512.1059.apk - Link for those who avoids Telegram (not posted by me)
In order to make the front camera work and use a lag-free app, you must:
Enable advanced mode.
Use these settings for the front camera and disable Sabre (also use RAW10 on RAW format, if I'm not wrong this will remove the lag on the rear camera).
The "Disabled Google Photo" actually sets it as default gallery (probably a bug)
In advanced settings, if you try to use the dark theme, it won't work. (Again, there's a reason why it still called "beta")

Can you link here or dm me newest patch version for Pie ? @SpiderPack
I would like magisk version
EDIT: v2.025a patch for you
Both Miui and Pie 9.0 Custom
Only Magisk because there isn't TWRP edition of this version
https://mega.nz/#F!vDRVVC6b!M3RMVNkUK-RoEpt-IkwU_A
Gcam which I am using now:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...f/GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk
Please recommend good gcam so i also stick it there
Has anyone tried this on the latest stable MIUI 10 build?
And I can see v2.025a Patch Module in the Telegram group. What's that for?

GLOBAL/CN variants have the same Sony sensor on the rear, but on the front camera we have a Omnivision sensor (here lies the problem).

A small correction here. The Global/CN variant (RN5 AI) doesn't have Sony IMX486 sensor on the rear camera. Instead, it sports Samsung S5K2L7 sensor (same sensor used in RN6 Pro) with effective pixel size of 1.4 μm.

Hello,
Is there any way to fix whatsapp video call lag when camera2api / patch is enabled? Everything in gcam 5.1 working fine with the patch, but the lags at whatsapp video call is a deal breaker for me, hope there is a way, been looking at how to fix this since day one..
Cheers!

Hm... That's odd, I've just tested with my boss and the WhatsApp Video Call was good enough. I don't know if it was supposed to have less delay (though, to me, was acceptable), but unfortunately I'm not aware of any fixes.

Yes! I'm pretty sure that dirty flashing the same ROM (and version) will bring everything back to what it was.

No, I'm on Havoc OS Mod.
Is PE camera2api enabled by default? Check with the developer? Maybe?
Let me ask you something else: Why did you end up on PE? I went through the RN5 forum before buying my phone, and even though PE looked fancy and awesome, HavocOS seemed to provide more customization.

Oh i see now why at havoc the whatsapp bug does not occur, i looked at their changelog, one line caught my eye.. its the "Force HAL1 package in some app", i think that may be the case, the devs of Havoc is aware of this bug i think, so whatsapp must be one of the app that being forced to use HAL1. (HAL3 is camera2api right?)
Hmmm, its more like personal taste i think I kinda like a minimal rom with minimal costumization.. and PE is the one for me, it really gives me the taste of Pixel phone :laugh:
Have anyone tried a TWRP patch newer than version 1.035a?
If so, what's new? Any changelogs?

Hey guys,
thanks for your work!
I installed this ROM via TWRP on my Doogee Y6 and its working good, but I found some problems, I like to tell you.
1. When in stock camera app, if choosing the front camera, the display is to dark to see anything, but fotos taken have normal colors
2. Videos taken with front camera are deformed, like wrong resolution and size (my face is too wide )
I then installed Apps "Camera MX" and "Open Camera" but this did not solve the problem, since recording videos with front camera with this app is not possible.
In Camera MX, the timer of video is not working when taking video with back camera. In Open Camera video with back camera is not working at all (says no connection or something).
PS: The Name of the device in jpg is "Elephone Doogee Y6" (I know its ported from elephone)
Is this information helpful for your work or do you know what I can do about the camera-problems?
Because of this problems, I for now reverted back to stock rom 6.0

If you can't read, I can't help you sorry.
I tried to find out what you mean or what I missed reading in this thread...
Perhaps you mean, that in original Elephone P9000 Thread it is said, that video recording is not working? Is it that?
If not, please help a newbie understand what he's done wrong
PS: I'm no native english speaker, so perhaps I'm missing something because of that?!

My apologies. I forgot to update the post here on XDA, even though I did it on my blog.
Check bugs list now. These bugs have been reported by users. The camcorder is a native bug, which means it doesn't work in the base ROM. The other bugs are quite hard to fix. I'm giving up because Doogee doesn't give us kernel sources. It's painful making roms with stock kernel.
GPS has been fixed!

Nokia Camera 91.9.1130.40-9558b747 with Pro Mode and Animojis ENABLED
TTSIA, and WYSIWYG.
The title says it all, and what you see is what you get.
It has enabled Pro Mode, Animojis and more features, for any device that supports Level 3 Camera2 API. Have fun!
Things I'm very aware of:
- Crashes on OnePlus devices Fixed in 91.9.1130.40!
- The Shutter Speed control doesn't have any visual effect on the viewfinder, but does work on the final pictures.
- Features like Live Bokeh, Panorama and Slow Motion work only on certain devices.
Changelog between version 91.9.1130.40 and 91.9.1130.40-9558b747:
More animojis unlocked! They shall appear now as downloadable content.
Changelog between version 8.1041.71 and 91.9.1130.40:
Pro Mode unlocked, as always, with a refreshed new look!
New AR section in the top menu! It lets you choose a set of facial stickers, Animojis and lightening effects!
Fixed Settings menu crash in OnePlus (and probably some other) devices.
New Slow Motion and TimeLapse options! (Tested on few limited set of devices)
Downsides between version 8.1041.71 and 91.9.1130.40:
Only works in ARM64 devices! Due to the lack of libraries, I can only ensure compatibility with these devices.
Minimal Android API version has been up'ed from 25 to 26, meaning, this camera can only be used in Android 8.0+ devices.
I'd like to take this opportunity to make a roll call to everyone who's willing to test this, as I want to see how many different devices are compatible.
Please, do let everyone know whether it works on yours or not! :)
Before reporting a crash or a fault, check if the ORIGINAL APK works on your device, and if it did, then feel free to attach a logcat!
If you own an older device, such as an ARM32 or you are stuck in Android 7.0 Nougat (in which case, I'd recommend you to find your device's sub-forum, if any, and install a Custom ROM ASAP), I recommend to stay on version 8.1041.71.

On my Pixel 2, only white balance and exposure are working on Pro mode. ISO and shutter speed can only be set to Auto in the port while they don't show up in the original apk. I think there should be an option to change the focus but it is nowhere to be found in both versions. Shooting slow motion or timelapse video and clicking setting crash the app. Trying to take photo with beauty mode on gives "Action not support: 708" message and does not capture any photo as well.

Beauty mode? That option shouldn't even appear LOL
Nevertheless... What ROM are you running, custom, stock? Can you report what Camera2 HAL Level you're running?
You can check with this app, the first section that appears. It must look like this:
Error : Can't connect to the camera.

Just out of curiosity, is this something related to hardware or something LG could change if they wanted to?

Looking for a replacement of Google Camera Go that comes with ArrowOS 11, I have just taken a look at Open Camera, but unfortunately it seems to require a more specific configuration for the capabilities of the cameras in the POCO X3 NFC as the app crashes or shows errors while looking through its functions (like switching between cameras). Also when switching from "Original camera API" to "Camera2 API" it offers video slow motion, but it's not working ("Serious camera error").
Is anyone here using Open Camera and has found a suitable settings file?

Try Hedge Cam 2. Same open source origin of Open Camera but with extra features and more stable, in my opinion, for recent Xiaomi devices.

Thanks for the feedback, but I have already settled on NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0, which is working fine on my POCO X3 NFC.
Just to check, I installed Open Camera (from F-Droid) on Xiaomi.eu ROM v12.0.7.0.
Apparently, it works OK with no crashes or immediate errors, but I didn't test extensively... (About transcript at https://rentry.co/rkok4).

Original Question:
Hi,
first of all, thanks a lot for your effort bringing lineage to the pixel 4a.
I've got a problem with the main (front 12.2 MP) camera (please see attached logcat).
When opening the default camera app (as well as with my test with google camera) the screen stays black and I can't take pictures. I'm on build number lineage_sunfish-userdebug 11 RQ2A.210505.003 b609c3a431, but had this problem with the previous build as well (I was able to take pictures a few builds back, though).
Does anyone else have issues with the camera not working or is it just me?
Thanks a lot and let me know, if there's any further info I can provide that would be helpful for troubleshooting.
Thanks and regards,
C
second log from main thread

Hey again
I clean installed the 20210527 build (and corresponding recovery) today and first thing I did was trying the camera... The org.lineage.snap is slow to non-responsive, the screen stays black and ultimately the camera app crashes...
The attached log shows multiple errors (as far as a noob like me can tell ).
If I'm the only person affected by this, is there anyone who could help me troubleshoot the issue... different hardware in Europe... or hardware failure... false stock firmware (though 100% sure it was on 11).
Thanks again and regards,
C
(If there's a better place for bug reports, kindly let me know )

Hey @mangokm40
thanks for your feedback. I neither have magisk nor any custom kernel installed.
I basically came from stock android 11 and followed the installation instructions .
As per this lineage wiki I installed mindthegapps according to the instructions.
Do you or anybody have any other idea? As I seem to be the only one affected, I guess a bug report wouldn't be in order, would it
Thanks again, appreciate your support
Chris, stop using the stock/default app and use a Gcam port: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-cstark27/
Like PXMod (cstark's PXv4.5: PXv4.5_GoogleCamera_7.2.014.apk (cstark27, 2020-09-04, pixel)
I think you'll find the same and more features than the stock app, and it's a lot more stable. No issues taking front camera pics (you can also enable HDR+ for the front camera).

thanks for the input, but i fear, that won't help in my case... I already tried the gcam mod of this post, which didn't work either
there might be darker forces at work with my pixel 4a...
nonetheless, I'll try your version asap and come back with the result.
thanks for your time and effort
I have the same issue. The rear cam stopped working. Upgrading to the latest 18.1 build did not help. I guess an update for "carrier services and device personalization apps" from play is causing this, as this are the only changes i noticed on my p4a.
hey guys,
sorry for the delay, but finally closing the loop on this one.
thanks to @razorloves , who looked a the logs and confirmed my suspicion, that an actual hardware issue might be the issue, I rolled back to stock and was able to confirm, that the camera issue had nothing to do with LOS 18.1 .
the same problem occured with stock, so I returned and exchanged the phone.
new phone with official LOS 18.1 has been working smoothly for two weeks now, including both cameras
so again, thanks @razorloves for your support and of course thanks @PeterCxy for a great rom.
cheers,
C
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!
Interesting !
Sadly we have to Root the phone to use gcam
Thanks for your work, i'll follow tour project closely

No worries, for those who can't root or don't want to root I'll be doing my best to get working 64MP for 3rd party camera without root!

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 ?
Thanks for your work !

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.

Hey guys,
are there any updates on the Gcam software for A53? Would greatly appreciate it!

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?
