SOLVED: I just want working continuous auto focusing video recording.

]Okay, now I understand this phone simply have this problem where the camera constantly tries to refocus during video recording and it affect all OnePlus, this is my third OnePlus.
For some reason the Cyanogen Rom and roms based on it lack some drivers that allows continuous autofocusing to work correctly while video recording. Depends on what camera apps you use, the autofocusing will either not work, or it will continuously tries to re-focus nonstop. ColorOS however does have this function working correctly.
Solution: Use ColorOS + CameraNext or Google Camera.

If it matters that much to you then find the bug report on Jira and up vote it, that's the only real effective way to have an impact. You're not likely to find a fix at the ROM level.

Thanks for posting a solution. This problem is driving me crazy enough to sell my phone since I often need to use it to take short videos at work, and it is so embarrassing to have to show the videos to others that I have taken to also carrying around a small point-and-shoot, and this is not acceptable. I have tried many roms and many camera apps, but all of them have the video refocus issue.
However, I don't see Color OS in XDA. Is there a rom thread for it? I will try anything to salvage this phone since I love it except for this problem.

You'll find several builds of ColorOS in our General section.

This also appears to be a fix
I flashed the v20 mod for the app at http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/app-cameranext-modded-t2999275 and it does not continually autofocus. I saw no need to flash the "click fix" since it is does not click when using it. I am on KK Slim.

The official ColorOS firmware for some reason I could not get to boot on my phone, but you have to use the official version if you want working OTA updates. And it lack Gapps so you have to manually install it.
You could use other custom version like this one which is what I'm using, it's flashable using TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/rom-4-4-2-coloros-2-0-36beta-t2955853
The official OppoCamera.apk still do not record with continuous focusing, but the CameraNext.apk and Google Camera does.

Google camera mod

Hello, anyone installed modded Google camera at XZ Premium?

It doesn't work, it requires Camera2 API (I think full mode) which is not supported by the XZp.
I read somewhere that SONY uses a modified version of the API which is why it causes the Google Camera app to crash.

https://source.android.com/devices/camera/versioning
This explains everything. But I am not quite sure which one Sony actually using. AFAIK it's legacy.
Edit: Yes it is Legacy.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/04/2...capture-in-future-if-there-is-popular-demand/
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/Camera2-API/m-p/974754#M21577

I read that we can custom enable camera2api, but from recovery mode, anyone tried it?

Thing is there's an issue with the camera with unlocked bootloader. They're working on a DRM fix for unlocked bootloader.
But what's this custom enable cameraAPI2? cause I really wanna enable that so we get full control over. But I highly doubt we will be able to.

This is guide how to enable camera2api, but you need twrp to install this.

Yes, it instantly crashes.

So if you have phone rooted and u want to install camera 2 api with some guides about it, on the xzp will not work properly? For works it must have a modded camera 2 api from xda develpers?
Edit: and if we install magisk and the relative camera 2 api module?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...systemless-t3473445/post73690093#post73690093
If I'm wrong, sorry for all I'm only trying to be helpful

The camera2 api is enabled by default (it was on my device) on XZP, but they limited the functionality for 3rd-party apps. RAW is not supported and the resolution is limited @ 8,3MP (back) and @ 13MP (front). I didn't found a way to brake the limits. I have no idea if it's possible.

Not all 3rd party apps are limited. FV-5 (force legacy drivers), open camera, a better camera, Camera ZOOM FX

Google open sources deeplap v3 technology
Hey guys Google open sources deeplap v3 in github
Can anyone use this repository and create a camera mod for Xperia XZ Premium if possible??.
Waiting for developer to respond,
Thanks in advance

Hi KGV! you made my Day!
The devs here on Sony's XDA either are paid by Sony, either Sony's employees, either lazy, either they have bought Samsung phones, either Sony really encrypted their software.
Don't expect something like this.
Hat down for Storm, Turbo and Munjeni.

Dude but what can we do for portrait mode??
It would be awesome if it works
(Don't say me to edit pics in snapseed nor picsart for portrait)

I am not a big fan of portrait mode, but I really think Sony's Bionz camera software is better than Google HDR + at least for our sensor.
Instead of running for fantasies, maybe you try to learn how our Bionz works. You wont be dissapointed.
Now a good thing will be to port XZ2 camera to our XZP.

Google is our friends and they're are tons of patched Google camera mods out there. I am currently running it with aosp

[GCAM][Pie/Android 9][Discussion]CN/GL USERS... UNITE!

GLOBAL USERS, LATEST NEWS: WORKING GCAM3 with FRONT CAM and TIME LAPSE!
This thread was created to achieve, at first, two goals:
Organize useful information on the main topic about GCAM for GL/CN users and CONSTANTLY UPDATE IT;
Direct new users to a "solution" regarding GCAM on Global/China variants;
MY SPECS:
Phone: Redmi Note 5 Pro 64GB/4GB (CN and came with GLOBAL ROM installed)
ROM: Havoc Mod ROM (Android 9.0/Pie)​
Understand the "problem" between the Indian vs Global/CN variants:
Indian variant uses Sony sensors on both front and rear cameras. So modders didn't had too much trouble porting GCAM for them;
GLOBAL/CN variants have the Samsung S5K2L7 sensor (same sensor used in RN6 Pro) on the rear, and on the front camera we have a Omnivision sensor (here lies the problem).
Know that: THERE'S NO WAY OF MAKING GCAM WORK ON ANDROID PIE WITHOUT A PATCH!
MAGISK METHOD NOTE:
UPDATE: There might be a light for your, warrior!
As gracefully explained by our fellow Desmanto, there are some steps you can take in order to make the Magisk modules work.
If it helps you on your lonely journey, please hit the Thanks button on his response. I'll only link his explanation.​
I noticed that installing a PATCH through it isn't a guarantee of success.
Even when I installed AdAway on my phone, magisk took a while to finally grant root access to it... So it means it's a shot in the dark.
Once I was able to install the RN5 Camera Patch v1.035a(Pie 9.0).zip by nhappyman and make it properly work. But only once!
As pointed out by the user misiek735:
"If you install everything and you choose 4k with eis enabled in gcam 5.1 settings
and it does not work (camera error) then it means that patch is not working
at all and you make somewhere during the instalation proces a mistake."​Since the process of installing the patch, rebooting, checking if the patch was installed successfully, removing it, rebooting, installing again...
isn't as pretty as I'd like, I advise you all to take the TWRP route.
TWRP ROUTE: THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE ROAD:
Right, this is where the fun begins!
First of all, my rig consists of two GCAM:
Pixel 3 (For anything related to rear camera: Normal, Portrait, Nightsight and SlowMo) - MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TInNeun_2
Pixel 2 (Front Camera; Front Portrait Mode) - GoogleCamera-5.1.018.177624777-Urnyx05Mod
Patch used: RN5 Camera Patch TWRP v1.035a (Pie_9.0).zip (Reading through threads, I've came to the conclusion this one is guaranteed to work. New versions are out there to be tested. Please share your results)
With these guys I can do pretty everything* (passing the "misiek735 test" pointed out earlier):
SlowMo: [email protected] or [email protected]
Front/Rear Camera Portrait
Front/Rear Live Motion
Rear Camera video: [email protected], [email protected]
>>>*REMEMBER THAT ANY PIXEL 3 CAMERA FCs ON FRONT CAMERA!<<<
>>>*Not anymore. Check the end of this post!<<<
DOWNLOAD:
- Fantastic mods/patch, but... Where to find them?
At the moment, I'm going to point out the direction (since I'm not aware if I hold any rights to upload myself those files)
TWRP v1.035a patch:
Look for a Telegram Group called RN5 Camera Patch™ | Channel (@rn5cp - https://t.me/rn5cp)
Go to group details (tap on the group's title) -> Files -> Search in October 2018 for: RN5 Camera Patch TWRP v1.035a (Pie 9.0).zip
GCAMs:
Celso Azevedo's Page;
Telegram Group: Google Camera (Whyred) ( @gcamWhyred )
Telegram Group: Gcams Downloads (Whyred) ( @gcamdownloadswhyred )
And this very XDA page.
It's worth reading this message posted by Desmanto​
Hope this thread can provide useful and reliable information for you guys.
Please share additional information, ask questions and correct any wrong information.
Cheers.
UPDATE: 2019/04/30
LATEST NEWS: WE HAVE A WORKING GCAM3!
Yesterday was release a brand new version for us GLOBAL users! It's a GCAM3 (Pixel 3 Camera App) with a working front camera!
Search for the APK on the Telegram Group gcamWhyred!
Look for:
Gcam 6.2.024 Advanced V2.1.beta._190429.1903.apk
In order to make the front camera work and use a lag-free app, you must use these settings presented on the attachments!
Or click here and check my shared Google Photos gallery.​
Note:
I'm currently using the TWRP v1.035a patch
There's a new version called RN5 Camera Patch v2.034a that might fix the issues I'm going to talk about next, but I didn't test it yet (please, you can provide feedback here if you will), so bear with me.
Known Issues (So far):
If you zoom (use the digital zoom prior to the shot), it'll FC the app and a low resolution (probably the image in the buffer) will be saved in your gallery. (Zoomed shots on the front camera work!) Just set "Using Sabre" OFF and will be good to go! (From what I've understood this an algorithm to enhance zoomed pictures)
Occurred to me once, but you might get an black picture every now and never.
While recording something the "viewfinder" might show a worst image than the one which is actually being recorded.
Night Sight is laggy! It'll work as intended but you'll experience it's 1/3s shutter speed. Seems like it's already collecting data about the scenario prior to the shot.
UPDATE: 2019/05/14
Latest News: We have a working GCAM v6.2.030 (i.e. Time Lapse capable)
Today was shared on gcamWhyred telegram group a GCAM3 with the new time lapse.
Look for:
Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.1beta6.190512.1059.apk - Link for those who avoids Telegram (not posted by me)
In order to make the front camera work and use a lag-free app, you must:
Enable advanced mode.
Use these settings for the front camera and disable Sabre (also use RAW10 on RAW format, if I'm not wrong this will remove the lag on the rear camera).
The "Disabled Google Photo" actually sets it as default gallery (probably a bug)
In advanced settings, if you try to use the dark theme, it won't work. (Again, there's a reason why it still called "beta")

A small correction here. The Global/CN variant (RN5 AI) doesn't have Sony IMX486 sensor on the rear camera. Instead, it sports Samsung S5K2L7 sensor (same sensor used in RN6 Pro) with effective pixel size of 1.4 μm.

Hm... That's odd, I've just tested with my boss and the WhatsApp Video Call was good enough. I don't know if it was supposed to have less delay (though, to me, was acceptable), but unfortunately I'm not aware of any fixes.

No, I'm on Havoc OS Mod.
Is PE camera2api enabled by default? Check with the developer? Maybe?
Let me ask you something else: Why did you end up on PE? I went through the RN5 forum before buying my phone, and even though PE looked fancy and awesome, HavocOS seemed to provide more customization.

Oh i see now why at havoc the whatsapp bug does not occur, i looked at their changelog, one line caught my eye.. its the "Force HAL1 package in some app", i think that may be the case, the devs of Havoc is aware of this bug i think, so whatsapp must be one of the app that being forced to use HAL1. (HAL3 is camera2api right?)
Hmmm, its more like personal taste i think I kinda like a minimal rom with minimal costumization.. and PE is the one for me, it really gives me the taste of Pixel phone :laugh:

Have anyone tried a TWRP patch newer than version 1.035a?
If so, what's new? Any changelogs?

Camera and Flashlight not working. RUU doesn't help

Hello everyone!
I have HTC U12+. As you know this phone requires a buffer fix so Google Camera could work on it. I rooted my phone with Magisk and used packed in a module shell Mr. Wyroczen's Buffer Fix for HTC U12+. Everything worked fine for 2 month and then stock Camera and Flashlight apps started to crash. I flashed several RUU's, downgraded OS from Pie 2.55.401.1 to Oreo Exodus 1.68.2401.4 and it didn't help. Upgraded from Oreo Exodus 1.68.2401.4 to Pie Exodus 2.37.2401.3_R and that didn't help too.. Phone was never damaged physically or drowned in water so I don't know what's happening. I can't blame overheating because after downgrading to Oreo Camera app worked fine for 12 hours and I captured videos in 4k60fps and nearly 150 photos using both front and back cameras.
Now after upgrading to Pie Exodus 2.37.2401.3_R i figured out that Video capture on main(back) camera still works if I hold the Camera app's icon and choose Video. But changing to Selfie mod crashes Camera app and I can use neither Front nor Back cameras in Photo mode. But Video capture and Flashlight are working.
I don't think it's Buffer fix's issue. It worked for 2 month with no issues.
I attached Logs. Maybe someone could understand what the problem is and help me to fix it..
Before this incident I had Kirisakura 4.9.246_Imagine 1.2.0_Next+ kernel and Magisk(itself 20.4 and manager app 7.5.2) modules installed:
Buffer Fix (Camera)
EdgeSenseSlide
Busybox NDK 1.31.1
Greenify for Magisk 4.7.5
Riru Core 21.3

[Help Needed] Camera problems in official LineageOS 18.1

Moving away from main thread to avoid spam
Original Question:
Hi,
first of all, thanks a lot for your effort bringing lineage to the pixel 4a.
I've got a problem with the main (front 12.2 MP) camera (please see attached logcat).
When opening the default camera app (as well as with my test with google camera) the screen stays black and I can't take pictures. I'm on build number lineage_sunfish-userdebug 11 RQ2A.210505.003 b609c3a431, but had this problem with the previous build as well (I was able to take pictures a few builds back, though).
Does anyone else have issues with the camera not working or is it just me?
Thanks a lot and let me know, if there's any further info I can provide that would be helpful for troubleshooting.
Thanks and regards,
C

second log from main thread
Original text:
Hey again
I clean installed the 20210527 build (and corresponding recovery) today and first thing I did was trying the camera... The org.lineage.snap is slow to non-responsive, the screen stays black and ultimately the camera app crashes...
The attached log shows multiple errors (as far as a noob like me can tell ).
If I'm the only person affected by this, is there anyone who could help me troubleshoot the issue... different hardware in Europe... or hardware failure... false stock firmware (though 100% sure it was on 11).
Thanks again and regards,
C
(If there's a better place for bug reports, kindly let me know )

reply to post
Hey @mangokm40
thanks for your feedback. I neither have magisk nor any custom kernel installed.
I basically came from stock android 11 and followed the installation instructions .
As per this lineage wiki I installed mindthegapps according to the instructions.
Do you or anybody have any other idea? As I seem to be the only one affected, I guess a bug report wouldn't be in order, would it
Thanks again, appreciate your support

Chris, stop using the stock/default app and use a Gcam port: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-cstark27/
Like PXMod (cstark's PXv4.5: PXv4.5_GoogleCamera_7.2.014.apk (cstark27, 2020-09-04, pixel)
I think you'll find the same and more features than the stock app, and it's a lot more stable. No issues taking front camera pics (you can also enable HDR+ for the front camera).

thanks for the input, but i fear, that won't help in my case... I already tried the gcam mod of this post, which didn't work either
there might be darker forces at work with my pixel 4a...
nonetheless, I'll try your version asap and come back with the result.
thanks for your time and effort

I have the same issue. The rear cam stopped working. Upgrading to the latest 18.1 build did not help. I guess an update for "carrier services and device personalization apps" from play is causing this, as this are the only changes i noticed on my p4a.

hey guys,
sorry for the delay, but finally closing the loop on this one.
thanks to @razorloves , who looked a the logs and confirmed my suspicion, that an actual hardware issue might be the issue, I rolled back to stock and was able to confirm, that the camera issue had nothing to do with LOS 18.1 .
the same problem occured with stock, so I returned and exchanged the phone.
new phone with official LOS 18.1 has been working smoothly for two weeks now, including both cameras
so again, thanks @razorloves for your support and of course thanks @PeterCxy for a great rom.
cheers,
C
