Run a command to make snapchat stay open while in the app? - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi!
So i got the OP7 pro like 3 weeks ago, and everytime the camera goes up i feel sorry and afraid that some day it wont go up again.
I use snapchat everyday, a lot... So to get the camera to go up and down wont last so long since it is rated to 300 000 times, i know it is only a rating and it wont light on fire or explode the 300 001 time. But however i ask you guys if there is possible to run a command, use a app, tweak a setting, u name it. To make the camera stay open when i am in snapchat, both when i use the front camera and when i am watching stories and chatting with friends. When i turn the camera i want it to go down of course.
Thanks everyone!

Basically impossible I guess, since snapchat only uses the camera api when on the main screen. You would have to mod snapchat to achieve that.

Thank u for answering! So unless snapchat releases a update that makes you turn off/on this "feature" it would be impossible?
Thanks!

Just close snapchat with it using the rear-facing camera, next time you open it will use the rear-facing and not pop up the front-facing camera.

xposed is only way to mod Snapchat

It does this with other apps like Kik as well. Probably need an Xposed module to stop the front cam from popping up unless it needs access to it.

N5 camera super blurry/fuzzy and focus problems.

Help. I used to show off my camera pictures with my N5, but around tht time I installed CM11, my camera pictures and videos will often times come out really blurry/fuzzy. It also takes a LONG time to focus. Im losing so many precious momments because of this. This is happening with any camera app.

change roms then
Buy an actual camera if you rely on a phone to capture 'precious' moments. Also if you know that you rely on your phone for these moments why install another OS, rather than stock?

Galaxy S6 Video Focus issue

Hello lovely XDA forum.
So my big problem is when I'm recording a video my camera doesn't focus perfektly.. Watch this 2 videos than you will know what i mean. "Sorry i cant post the 2 video links because new here in this forum" It's just focusing when I manually focus it but it's always blurry when it try to autofocus. And yes I also try to reset my phone and this also doesn't work and I also go to the samsung store and all what they did was a software update and they really told me they will change the camera.. I hope someone can help me with this problem..

If they offered you to change the camera, DO IT ASAP! these camera issues once started will keep on incrementing day by day. So, either get your phone replaced or get your cam module changed! Cheers :good:

Snapchat

Hello
Is there no one who can optimize Snapchat for our Honor 8? The H8 has a great camera and it's sad to see Snapchat not getting everything out of it. Is there any developer here who can do something about it? I know my best option would be contacting Snapchat but I doubt they will do something about it.
Wrong section. Post your question in Q&A. Thanks.

According to Snapchat their app has issues on the Android platform itself. Snapchat is planning to rewrite the Android app for the platform. This is what happens when you're not OS agnostic.
Currently, I doubt anything can be done about it since Snapchat is a closed source app. Unless, of course, some of the Jedi hackers on XDA are able to optimize it with the power of The Force.

Snapchat is rubbish anyway.
The thing is on Android because of the different kinds of hardware snapchat uses this bizzare way of optimising per device. It limits the resolution of the video or photo taken to the resolution of the screen. So for instance even if I had a high end phone with the best camera but with a 720 or 1080p display and my friend has a mid range phone with a 1440p display he'll definitely have great quality. The Honor 8 usually takes photos at a much higher resolution and snapchat just doesn't let it do so.

Some Samsung are making good photos even with Snapchat on zoom per example but with my Honor 8 if I zoom something it sucks
I don't use SnapChat, but everything I've heard about it indicates the programmers of the Android version were lazy and just take screenshots while the camera is on instead of actually using the camera to take the picture. That's why the resolution sucks and you get such poor quality when you zoom in. It is not a full resolution picture.
However, the weird spinning issue you have is likely due to the Honor 8's jacked up gyroscope. We can't use VR apps because of it. It seems to affect 100% of Honor 8's yet no update is coming to fix it. Not a high enough priority, I guess.
I read that Snapchat is going to rewrite the app from scratch on Android is this true? And when it will come out?

Yes. B394 Honor 8 running Android 7. I don't have any trouble with it and didn't have in previous versions of EMUI either. Tested with 360 Youtube videos.

I don't use Snapchat, but if they don't work it is totally because of the Snapchat's poor coding.

Yeah the app is pretty poorly developt for such a big company. But the 3D figures work perfectly on the honor 9 of my friend so i think it might have something to do with the messed up gyroscope of the honor 8. I hope honor will fix this in Android oreo but i dont expect it to happen. Sadly.

Pixel 4 Camera

Hey guys.
I tried nearly every Gcam 7/7.1 port on my RN6PRO.
but none of them worked, it installs normally, but as soon as I open the app and give all permissions, it gets force closed.
It doesn't even reach the viewfinder.
Running pre-latest HavocOS /Pie.
Tried some magisk modules/ some zips that claim to enable pixel4 camera on any device but with no luck.
If any one could run latest gcam on his RN6PRO/Pie, please share how could you run it kindly.
By the way I want to share my experience with TrGcam port.
Its the most stable and takes noticeable better photos than other ports(for me at least) try it and thank me later
Can you give a link to TrGcam port mentioned?

At least this version can take normal and night sight photos.
But sadly when it detects tripod and starts astrophotography scence, it force closes immmediately.
Btw, looking at package name shows that this version is based on TrGcam.
Thank you thats a good headstart.
Edit 1:
Can you please post some astrophotography samples taken with your rn6pro?
Edit 2:
No, this port has nothing to do with trgcam, sorry dont blame me, blame ES File explorer

Actually, normal night sight takes photos at 0.5s exposure time, which is not possible on stock cam.
I know that night sight will not be very promising with this locked-exposure sensor, but I have some free time to do some of those out of risk experiments with gcam.
Btw, thanks for your information, 10s night sight are much better than nothing.
For now, I couldnt achieve more than 4 seconds of night sight (I mean total night sight photo takes around 4 seconds to capture, not 4s per frame)
Edit:
And for Xiaomi not enabling this feature, how would they convince you to buy their next redmi device?
Actually, if I bought an RN7, camera will be the reason.

Request to any P40 owner

There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a P40-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:
Yes its back..

Thank you, very much.
How frustrating.
Could you possibly do me a favor and let me know the version of the camera app you have?
That way, I can try to find an APK to sideload.

Global or Chinese? Which Version?
I'm in the UK with p40pro so must be global. Just do a system software update to 10.1.0.114
Never mind - Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps.
Here's what I captured:
Not sure if I'm finding the correct setting. But on my p40pro the option to record slow ow on on motion dection works on all fps options but you have to set the area where it my detect motion.

Off the topic query but how are you finding the p40pro till now in terms of camera and the software experience? ..i have ordered one here in UK and will probably get it in a couple of days

First off it it's a beautiful device and feels great in the hand. It's one of those devices that you find satisfying to touch.
The camera is excellent exactly how I expected it to be after owning a mate 20 Pro a last year, and that device ruined my experience of owning a note 10 plus as the camera on the note just couldn't compare.
Software is good although EMUI is one of my favourite android skins anyway. I find it pretty easy to live without gms as I don't really do social media or anything.
It is easy to put gms on this device although I took it off just to run a stock phone as stock. Due to the fact the only things I wanted from gms (Google pay and music) won't work anyway.
Main gripe with this phone is no gpay or banking apps. Hopefully Huawei can sort this soon. Oh and no stereo speaker or dolby atmos.
Now I need to decide whether to switch from my note 10 plus to this or not?

Thanks a lot..i had the note 10plus and i agree its a beautiful device though camera might be a level below p40pro. So its a tough decision.
I hv a iphone11 pro max and will probably use p40pro as a secondary phone mainly due to its camera

Yeah the note Is a good phone but Samsung ruined the note with a software update that made the camera blurry and the Bluetooth streaming skip on music play back. And seems as though I take 100+ inspection photos daily for work it's very annoying.
I just can't get on with Samsung ui either it's too much.
The thought of not being fully tracked by Google is quite refreshing as well.
It is weird how nice this phone feels... I find even if I'm not using it I just rotate it in the hand whilst watching TV odd.
