Camera problems on oreo roms and above - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have a g920f and apparently I have problems with the camera app on every oreo rom or above that I try to flash. Installing a camera app from the playstore is no use either. Is there any fix for this? Are there others who have the same problem?

There is no fix, use footej or open camera for better results (above oreo)

open camera does not work for me, all of the camera apps have a lot of lag and the flash is unusable. I guess I'll be sticking to nougat roms until I upgrade

try to enable camera 2 api in opencamera settings, footej should work immediately
also Evo-X rom is best rom right now, it's Android Q (10)
Don't expect any Stock Camera performance on Oreo or above
keep using nougat based roms if you want maximum quality from camera
I recommend Ultimate Nougat v3.1 or MiPa s8 Port

In miui 8 is not necessary flash this zip, because this rom is based h2o and the camera is better than 7.0 roms
So it is not the same camera V1.4.0 as it is in older versions?
maybe.. just maybe..
it would be great if OP give some more information, or screenshot
Can anyone tried confirm this worked nice on Lineage OS 14.1 ? Does it play nicely, and does the camera app change?
The inbuilt camera gallery that comes when we swipe right to left after taking a pic doesnt come properly. What i mean is that it comes but you cant unzoon and view pics as in a filmstrip, see attached screenshot
Assume it is the same as the 1.40?
This version is visually a bit different than that of 3.0.2 port's v1.4.0.
can anyone tell me how do I save raw photos on lineage? There is no option to enable it in settings
Thank you so much! The camera is the only thing that is better (IMO much better) in OOS than in LOS. Now I have it in LOS, great job!
Download link is not working.. pls resolve it..
Thanks for for ur efforts...
The app works fine by far on SuperiorOS (9.0).
Manual mode working, but the raw photos seem to be broken.
Panorama doesn't work.
The quality of pictures and videos is okayish.
Does this work on Pie roms (e.g: LOS 16 etc.) ?

camera - berkley roms

Hi Folks,
Which camera works best in berkley roms ? My motive is to use to dual camera with wide aperture mode because currently the camera in Lineage 15.1 tops in the list of most worst cameras. I feel like clicking from a Rs. 5000 micromax phone. Dev confirmed he is not at all interested in improving camera on chat.
What can be done to get the best out of camera if we are on custom rom ? I cannot go on stock because I have not made backup and flashing that firmware from twrp backup makes imei null.
Please help me people in getting atleast an OK camera on Lineage.

I'm using this magisk module with stock emui cam.
Thanks for the zip bro.
Installed it with latest magisk but have 3 concerns :
1. Front Camera pictures are not getting saved to gallery.
2. Portrait mode has issues.
3. Magisk issue - Safetynet not passing.
I'm on Latest Lineage with latest official berkley twrp. Root works perfect. Installed the above zip but nothing happened. Then flashed the latest zip from official magisk xda thread and it got installed with root, but safetynet has issues. How to get the gallery and front camera working ? Do I need to remove the Camera provided with lineage for that ?

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 :/

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:

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).

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.

[GUIDE][APP]Up To Date Google Camera Port For The 5T 9/7

I decided to start this thread because all the other GCAM port threads aren't up to date ,specially with the increasing number of APKS
so,let's get started
Disclamer
The Camera2api port for our device is buggy as hell not only that but the dual pixel technology libraries are f**** by OnePlus so to overcome that and get both portrait mode working and front camera hdr+
you must be rooted(or at least have a custom recovery)
for non root you can still use HDR+ only for the back camera with lots of dots!
Downloads
A-rooted downloads 1-the lib fix FOR ANDROID 8.1 ONLY
FOR ANDROID 9 PIE OOS 9.0.6 and above
2-Pixel Colours(optional)For OOS 9.0.6 and above you need Pixel Colours v3.0 HERE
B-APK download that's a bit easy
1-New Best Version Urnyx based on GCam 6.2 is excellent thanks Urnyx Download latest here
2-Gcam based on 5.1 Urnyx05 v6.2 for any OS for the 5t oreo and up of course
Settings
-For Gcam based on 5.1 only This one contains the settings I personally use with the current Google camera version Urnyx05 6.2 to get best results after testing many times(you can find yourself better settings anyways).
-the settings are attached as images in the post feel free to test them out.
Thanks, been looking for something like this an updated one. Using Urnyx and thanks for the settings

Lib fix breaks any audio mod like v4a, ainur, Dolby...

In my case, using the Lib Fix in the link, doesn't break the stock camera (didn't try any audio mod). But if I update the module from magisk (to the last version), that one is breaking the stock camera.
I am using blu spark kernel. What does it mean to set it to permissive and how do I do that? Any side effects (potentially unwanted) by doing that?

kernel is either enforcing or permissive
hence the name suggests
permissive 'permits' apps from overriding system policies
enforcing enforces system policies
so use permissive when you have an app that requires it only
It theoritically impacts security
specially if you don't know what apps to install or don't get them from a trusted source
Do you know if they have a chance that the app damage my phone ? (OnePlus 5T Android 8.1 OxygenOs 5.1.7)

Hi all. Firstly, this camera is great. Using it on lineage with microg and using your suggested settings and am having no problems.
The only issue I see is that in lower light I experience lag when in portrait mode. Anyone know a solution to this?

less light = slower shutter
it is slower to get a decent image quality
and I don't think it's that slow
anyway there is no fix to that at least without affecting image quality
