Thank you for you work!
Is Gcam 100% functionnal?
Will this work on the Canadian variant A530W?
Edit1: Successfully flashed and booted on A530W, still testing all the features.
Edit2: The Digital wellbeing app crashed when I try to toggle the Wind down feature.
When in any app and I try to bring up the recent apps I get a message "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping" but when i'm on the homescreen it works fine.
How waa the rom ?
GCam should be working as far as Ik.
The ROM should be compatible with any variant of the exynos Galaxy A8 (2018) devices.
As for Digital Wellbeing, it is likely some libs or framework is missing, so just use it for screen on time analysis and not for grayscale
And the Pixel Launcher bug, I'm not sure why its happening. Perhaps try wiping data and clearing cache. I'll look into it, while also I have to update the ROM since I forgot to add the dual speaker module to the device, which I normally do for all my ROMs. If you could post performance ratings, that would be nice!
Any chance this would work on a8 plus?

Any chance a8 plus support?
I tried this on my A8, and so far Gcam isn't working, the Samsung camera app doesn't have that 4k option, and actually it has less options for resolution and the switch between the 2 front cameras are missing (I might just restore the original camera-feature.xml).
There are a few other stuff, but they are minor things.

There was a never a button. You swipe up to switch cams
And don't restore stock Camera floating feature. It will break because of Bixby Vision configurations and other stuff that I removed
Great work.....

I didn't mean the button to switch between the front and rear cameras, also that's there, it exists but the swipe up thing works as well. What I meant is the switch to switch between the two front cameras of the phone. It did have that switch.
Hi,
I noticed that whenever I try to make a phone call it dials and connects just fine,however, the dialer interface where you can cancel the call or turn on the loudspeaker doesnt show at all. As if there was no call being made.
Never mind. ... This is what happens if you havent set googke dialer as default dialer app. . My bad....
Gcam isn't working (i can't even open it) and Pixel Launcher can't open recent app menu without crashing (except in homescreen)

Go down to Additional Information for each app (if it doesn't show on mobile, revert to a computer) and find out what android version you need. Many require 4.0 these days (hence the coining of the term "ginger-death").
If sticking with this device, you may be ROM'ing after all. I would suggest starting with TBaldens CM 10.1. GimmeABreak also looks nice. If all you need is 4.0, then I would recommend CM9 (although I never used it, Sverhagens 9.1 version sounds more improved than the official).
Dam so this phone will be useless cuz most apps wont work I just kept it to for the camera had a baby so takes great pics and videos and awesome camera adjustment video settings any new roms that have the same settings?

None I've tested, may want to do your research on them to see which works best for you.
Alternatively, you can do what I've done, and install CM anyway, and use a third party camera app -> Ultra Camera (theres a few, but UCam has a free version). Works well. You can see if you like it by installing the camera app now (supports Android 2.2 and up) and trying it out, taking comparison shots. Note that you will have to tweak the settings a little...when I installed it, it took 6MP pictures, where I have since scaled it up to the proper 8MP.
Hope this helps.
Its because I want the black and white feature and portrait mode.

As for portrait you should use google camera, which is way better in my opinion both in edge recognizing and quality (and it works for both front and back camera).
For B&W you can use Snapdragon camera (included in most roms), but i noticed it has some bugs with focusing, or FreeDCam, which should cycle and show B&W using the second camera (but it depends on the rom you're using).
As for MIUI camera you can get it to work on custom roms through some ports, but you'll get basic functionality and for sure no support for second camera. They're also old miui 9 versions, so they won't have portrait.
If you still want to try here are some versions to flash (remember to give all the permissions prior opening the app, otherwise it will say that it can't connect).
I still recommend to avoid using miui camera on this device, it is really bad with picture compression. Just use GCam for almost everything and you'll get awesome results, i even compared with my friends' mi 8 and the results are impressive.

Assuming you are on oreo-based rom (i'm on syberia and this doesn't work), just open FreeDCam and try to switch camera. It should show front camera, and changing again camera should show up the B/W sensor. I can't say it works for sure, i used to do it on an old unofficial rom (AICP based off old los15 sources), and it may still work but i didn't do further testing.
I asked to syberias' dev if he could look into that, hopefully we'll have working B/W sensor for third party cameras other than buggy Snap
UPDATE: Got it working guys, made a new thread so that it will be pinned for others too
Who has the device and has sideloaded gcam yet ? Really thinking about getting the phone and am coming from a pixel 4xl and really enjoy the point and click of the pixel. Want to see if GCAM is a viable option on the Sony Xperia 5 ii.
Thanks
I am also very close to purchasing this and would also like to know if this is possible.
https://mega.nz/folder/pg5y2CaJ#qH95TX8mieu7pP50DsPI-A/folder/1tR2ACpT
The MGC here works, but you may need to tweak settings for best results, and it only works with the main and selfie cameras.
Surprisingly, the stock app for the camera is very good on 5 II.. The question is, is gcam needed for 5 II, sony did a great job with the camera and the camera software this year.
The stock app is indeed surprisingly capable, but managing highlights is still one of the weak points with Sony. The 5 II is probably the best phone Sony has made in years so it would be great to see GCam support for it. Any chance of this @Arnova8G2 @Urnyx05?

I think you hit it on the head honestly. The testing I have been doing with the camera seems to be that Sony is okay with highlights in photos, similarly to Apple but Apple does still a little better than Sony does.
There are definitely benefits I have seen from the highlights though, portrait photos of a person with good lighting look exceptional on the mark II even with indoor lighting. My first 2 days with this phone have been a pleasure because it almost makes me feel like this phone is built like a Nexus device was back in the good old days, with minor Sony embellishments.
Looking forward to progress here in this!
@Urnyx05
Checked your thread for what you need for a bug report, so I've tried include all that you need incase you are interested in getting your GCam up and running on the Xperia 5 II.
Phone: Xperia 5 II, stock rom, no fixes
APK: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk
Camera2 Test and logcat attached of the crash.
The app crashes the moment you start it (after you've given it all the permissions), but you can also hear the camera activating.
Please bring gcam to our device, Urnyx05
Came here from the Xperia 1 II thread. Yes, the Xperia 5 II is one of the Android flagship this year. Stable gcam support will elevate the popularity of this device more, Sony get more sales and they have more money to develop next gen Xperia.

Eh, what? There aren't any properly working GCam versions for the phone yet.
The only ones that work are one older GCam and the Go version. Yes, stock apps give better pictures than those but I'm not counting those as proper GCam ports.
I find a webpage of GCam for Xperia 5 II. https://www.cyanogenmods.org/google-camera-xperia-5-ii/
I tried it but all crashed, maybe because my phone is China Edition. You can try it.

Eh, seems like some autogenerated ****. "Gcam for *automatically insert phone model here*". To be ignored.
This are not Versions for the Xperia. Bad Link.
Android 11 and GCAM
It might actually help when sony releases Android 11 for both the mark 5 ii and the mark 1 ii phone. It's might make the current GCAM apks and config files more compatible.
Are you running this version?
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1234/
On my 5-2 this GCam is semi-working. It takes photo on 16 and 70 mm module. Sometimes you can enter the menu using the button LIB from the tenth time.
(If the image from the camera is visible and falls out, move the slider to the video and choose a different camera).
Perhaps someone can make this version work and run the main photo module (it works in the video).

@Subbb I've managed to snap a photo with the ultra wide and tele yes, the photos are very grainy though.
It's weird because Google Camera Go works only with the 24mm lens.
@chilled_orange13 my trick was to open the app, quickly swipe to video then change the lens using the upper settings menu. Pressing the setting icon or lib icon makes the app crash. Changing lens crashes the app but when you open it again it launches on the selected lens.

Hy, is ti possible to install apk to have Dual camera mode ont the S20FE? To have the possibility to take pictures witch the front camera and the rear camera in one shot?
The last phone to have dual camera mode was the S8, with Oreo. But it was before samsung scrapped the camera app in favor of the new SDK.
Yet both use the camera2 api.
Now I have been looking for the original app but everyone is obsessed with the Gcam.

A Magisk module adding the mods from ShaDisNX255's Thread plus many extra mods systemlessly!
Credit goes to the original creator UltraHQ Github and Sloobot Github for porting to the A52.
This is a fork of Sloobot's work to provide continuity of the project after he decided to EOL it.
Note: It should only be used on the Galaxy A52 (SM-A526B). Trying on other devices is at your own risk.
In case something doesn't work, remove the module. It will revert everything to its normal state.
In case you bootloop (which is extremely unlikely), boot into safe mode and remove the module or install the Magisk Bootloop Protector module.
If you have any problems, please open a new issue on GitHub or post here.

Could there be something so that false location applications do not close on their own or restart? For example, fake gps joystick that closes itself after a while

Don't think that's possible. The best I can recommend is to systemize your app with App Systemizer Magisk module. I have a battery monitoring app that needs to run 24/7, systemizing it significantly reduces the amount of times Android closes it. It still gets closed, but it's probably once every 24 to 72 hours.
Edit: This is now possible. I can give further information on how if need be (Galaxy devices only).

The current release works fine on One UI 5.0 so I would assume so. I haven't updated my phone since so can't confirm for sure. Chance of bricking is very very slim, and you can install Magisk Bootloop Protector module to help against that in such rare situations.

Yeah sure no problem. The one by HuskyDG v1.8.1 is the one I use (and it has stopped a bootloop before so can confirm it works). With the "Advanced" setup.
Although I've just Googled his GitHub repo and he seemed to have either deleted it or made it private which is a shame, you can probably find a mirror somewhere though.
Edit: someone has provided a download in another XDA thread.

Notably I've merged both devices (4G and 5G) back into one, I think for some of you, you will have to remove the old module and add the new one as the name it checks to see if a new version is out has changed.

Sorry if it wasn't clear but I meant to stop apps closing themselves as that was what I was replying to. The A51 is a different chipset to the A52 despite being similar, ideally you will need someone with said device to make a Magisk module dedicated to that.
