Yes, apart from issues in Lineage OS.

My Gcam was always crashing, regardless of what ROM or what version of Android I'm using.
I'm currently on Pie , I'll roll back to 3.2 and see if it works fine.

For those who want to install as a SYSTEM app
I used the 3.2 version in Oreo (crdroid and RR) and now on RR Pie always as a system app. In Oreo I remember that it crashed whenever I chose any mode other than normal (panorama etc.). What fixed all the issues was a "double install": After moving app to system and reboot, browse to the /system/priv-app/GoogleCamera and install the apk from there again. An update app dialog pops up, though it's not an update. When the "update" is done, everything works flawlessly! I got a "can't connect to camera" error when launching it the first time, but after a reboot it's okay. It worked on Oreo and it works on Pie so far.
I must say that I used it briefly on Pie as a user app. It also seemed to work fine like this.

I personally use version 3.2 posted on 4pda forum. This one has slightly different package name so Google Play doesn't try to update it. Can't upload .apk here as it's too large.

Best Camera App (/mod) for Lineage OS 15.1 Oreo 8.1?

Hi, i've installed the last update of Lineage OS (8.1), but the camera app is too bad. I tried with some porting of Google Camera etc, but most of them crash for different reasons and I did't find a good solution.
Is there a camera app, or a zip mod that I can install by recovery, to get a better shot (or at least, like the stock app of the Samsung Experience)?

there's no portrait mode in this version :/
edit: not true, lol, is there
I use this version from miniuser:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xH3yLwrt5ZIkcTqGg-xxepHHMd5W8YfF/view?usp=sharing
Works great for me. Make sure the gcam is set to Nexus 6 Hdr+ auto ( settings-> advanced-> config camera hdr+).
For video recording you will have to select camcorder.h265 in developer settings (settings -> developer settings)
Here is a pdf from IDan with info about the gcam:

When I tap on switch camera, the app crashes. is there a fix?
Can't seem to find one that will open
Hi
I yesterday installed lineage 15.1 on my s7 Edge.. What a fantastic rom. It feels so much faster and smoother to me than stock oreo.
I have installed it with no gapps and have rooted . I wanted to use Google camera as a replacement but every one I have tried force closes immediately (must have tried 20 or more based on recommendations here, in reddit and elsewhere).
Any suggestions on how to get this working? What puzzles me is that others seem to have it working. Maybe because I haven't flashed gapps?
Thanks in advance
Whatsapp and Instagram camera issue - bad quality
Semi OT: is there a fix for the bad processing and quality of the Whatsapp and Instagram (specially with the Stories) camera?
With android oreo you need to have the "google service framework" apk installed for google apps. You can install the attached app or you can search for it on apkmirror. After installation you can freeze the app with titanium backup.

I think not, as of for now, but the dev had already found the problem and made some improvement, but still in progress, hopefully in the next LOS update there will be good news for camera.
-update-
The update for LOS is done already, you might wanna try do dirty flash over existing build. and update here for the result (i can't update right now).

No updates?

I wouldn't say that there is a very big difference. ( 30+ minutes on lineage)

I don't think that's the problem, I flashed gapps and there isn't any camera app in app drawer. So, I am not able to use camera app and flashlight.

Camera app stability on custom ROM's

After testing a few ROM's on this forum I find that there is always an issue with the camera app.
Right now I'd like to stick with the PixelExperience or OmniTreskmod ROM, but the OOS camera crashes when I try to use slow-motion, and the GCAM apk also crashes frequently. (I've tried the latest December version and also an older version)
Are these features not available for custom ROM's? Should I just modify stock OOS with magisk modules to make it look/feel like a Pixel?
Edit: Does the OOS camera needs the OnePlus gallery to function correctly?
I have no issue with the latest gcam or included oos cam in AOSP extended
GCam works well, you just have to load a good XML

So does your slowmotion video work? TreskMod had an oxygenOSCam.zip file, maybe it's just out of date. I'll search the forum for a different OOScam
have u find something out there??

I've moved to the OnePlus7Pro and it has the exact same issue. From what I've seen you cannot use a custom ROM on a OnePlus device and have a fully functional OOS camera app. This is sadly why I'm moving away from using custom ROMs.
thats too sad, cause getting a new version phone is caused mostly you wanna have a great camera too, isnt?
otherwise, why to buy a such a expensive phone when the quality of the pictures is like some years ago??

Don't spam! As there are many threads of this topic!

			
				
Thanks for the heads up. Didn’t know that there'sfinally a pixel 3 that works with OmniVision.
Kinda sad because having tried both OV and Samsung, OV is better and doesn’t get enough credit or support.

This cameras from 6.2 to the latest one keeps crashing randomly when taking pictures at sunlight when processing hdr+... Sometimes works, sometimes crashes. Tried clean flash and everything you can imagine.. Samsung sensors. Same problem anyone?
These are the same as bulkin's Gcam Mods which all crash on Note 4. He even said he dropped support for the device. Instant crash after taking a shot on Syberia Latest Android Pie.

Camera 1080p/60fps Lineage OS

Hi All,
I got tired of waiting for HTC to update my U11 that was still on Android 8.0 so i came back on beloved XDA after a few years of desertion (first phone i flashed was HTC Magic, almost 10 years ago) and installed Lineage OS 16 on this U11.
It all works great, thanks to developpers, except that i cannot record at 1080p/60fps any more. The google camera app doesn't have the option, and the HTC camera crashed when i select 60fps.
Is this a known issue of the rom or is there a fix ?
Thanks !

Thank you ! For some weird reason, i wasn't able to install the recommended app. At the end of the install i'd get the message "App not installed". I tried a few more and the only one that worked so far is the Gcam Lite 6.1, which does record in [email protected] fps !!
I suspect the MGC camera apks try to update my actual install of Google camera and it fails to do so, as the Gcam lite installs a new one. I tried to uninstall the Google camera but i guess i would need to root the phone for this ?

That's correct, you would need to uninstall gcam completely for the recommended version to work.
If your current install came with your rom, and that's what it sounds like, it's probably a system app, and can only be removed with root

Question OnePlus 9 Stock Camera app for custom rom

Alright, so I installed Evolution X, and everything works properly, BUT, I can't get the stock camera app. All guides I found on the internet (advising me to use systemizer + apkmirror), (yes, i have root), didn't work, with the app either insta-crashing, or blank screening. Please help!

Oos cam on aosp is exactly what it is a wip. Still not available . Must use g-cam and they are horrible on the 9 series. This is main reason I have yet to flash anything.

Alright, gcam it is. Is open camera worth considering?
this wont work or happen unless the person providing the custom rom includes the correct vendor blobs /files to make it work on custom roms until then your only options are using the built in camera with said custom roms or using gcam
