NOTE:
1. I didn't make the app nor developed any single thing on the app, I just shared the app link. All credit goes to the actual developer (or developers). Thanks, Man!
2. Not sure about other devices, tested and working on my Redmi Note 4 (MIDO).
3. It is rootless. (Let me know if there's any issue with this)
4. My Redmi Note 4 is running AOSPExtended Custom Oreo 8.1 based ROM, and its working. (May or may not work with MIUI, all Custom Nougat ROMs)

Please post which version you are using...

Can anybody point me to the right version for AOSP 7.1.2 ROM's? I am currently using AEX 4.6 Final build released on mid November.

Thank you! It's working perfectly fine on my Mido AEX 8.1. Just one problem though, it crashed every time I open slow motion. Beside that it's great!

Actually this rom is not much customize and has been built close to stock rom on google pixel whereas AOSP has many customizations. Hope we will get this feature in upcoming builds.

It should not happen, try reflashing the twrp and then flash the rom

The camera app often error.

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)?

I use this version from miniuser:

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).

How's the battery life compared to stock?

No updates?
Which version gcam will work on Lineage 16? (I have a black screen or FC with links here)

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 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

MIUI Camera after Custom ROM

Thinking about going crDroid or EvoX for a custom on my Poco.
Is there any way to install the Poco MIUI camera if I do?

Nope,
Miui camera: porting is difficult and when possible some features are missing.
Use Gcam/Anx..

It all depends on the model of the device but in general with GCAM everything works and you have several editable XML profiles.

You can try to install directly the latest MIUI Camera APK ported from latest MIUI. I remember that I found it last summer simply searching on google MIUI Camera APK. It worked on my old Arrow OS 12.1 rom some months ago, except for 64 MPixel mode that crashed the app.

Thanks for the tips and information, I'll definitely try gcam and the ported APK. Now to find which custom, so many to choose from.. so far settled on crDroid A13 but that could change. Thanks again.

I've found it searching 'MIUI Camera APK' or 'MIUI Camera APK Porting' using Google. But I don't know if latest APKs work on A13, I tested it time ago using custom rom A12.1 based... I remember that only 64 MPixel mode crashed the app, video and photo worked
