Just curious if there is an app that uses the infrared camera (for the iris scanner)?
The iris scanner has a fixed focal range, you can't focus with it as the focus is fixed, so it would be pointless even if there was an app!

You can use service menu (dial *#0*#) and there is an iris camera test, gonna close after a few seconds, but you can check it out.
Yeah i checked it out and it disappears fast. It would be fun to take a selfie on total darkness, if there is a way to take pictures lol.
I'm just looking for this too. I tried it and can see things farther than 1m clearly. so it would have some fun uses if there's an app could do that.
Anyone else knows if there's a way to access the camera regardless if its pointless or not?

Did you find an app?
I am aware this is an old thread, but I'm interested in an app like that too
There is actually an app
If u check latest Steve Mould youtube video he shows how this app called Open Camera can open the IR camera. It may or may not work (he was using a Google pixel 4)
http://www.androidauthority.com/google-camera-port-raw-support-bug-fixes-803761/
i've tried the app and it's working.. still observing for some bugs etc..
It would be nice if we knew what are the best (most suitable) settings.
is HDR+ working?
Is HDR+ working?
I read the port works with SnapDragon 8xx but Nokia mounts a 4xx... Did you enable camera API 2 or something more than just installing the app?

Camera api2 is enabled by default. Could not get hdr+ working with this all-in-one-version, but this one does work with zsl, if you have hdr+ auto mode on:

That's pretty cool!
Thanks for the link
So, above the version you linked, ZSL and HDR+ stopped working? If we were to get all the other goodies like raw support and so on, would be just amazing!

No problem, I can get pretty stunning shots with this one. HDR+ with this apk is not oversaturated and totally usable. (I'm a professional photographer and satisfied with the result
I could not get that allinone-version to process HDR+ pics at all. Tried different modes and settings, but it just saves the non-hdr version.

Just tried the one you linked and the all-in-one version and I get the exact same behavior as you describe. So happy we can at least use a version where we get the wonderful hdr+ feature!

How to install the app?

Should be pretty straightforward.
1. Download the apk file from the link @CareDood shared above. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634795524 (You can download from your phone or to your PC)
2. If you downloaded from the PC you'll need to connect your phone to the PC to send the file. When connecting the USB your phone will ask if you want to charge only or give storage access. Make sure to allow storage access. Then copy the .apk file to the internal storage, for example in the `Download` folder, as it is easy to find.
3. In your phone enable `unknown sources` (settings > in the search bar write `sources` and click in `unknown sources` > switch the toggle to enable)
4. Locate the apk on your phone (in Downloads if you place it there or using a file manager app if you put it somewhere else). Click on it and should prompt if you want to install it.
That os what i thought, but it doesen't work
When i click on the apk and try to install it says that the package conflicts with an existing package with the same name. And says not installed. Don't know what to do. I really want to try it.

Remove the Google Camera app you have downloaded from Play Store first.
Yes, that's it. Thank you so much. Slow motion doesen't work, my guess is because of the CPU

Are you on stock ROM?
Did you try to install previously any other version of the pixel camera?
I just tried my self to install another version of the pixel camera, the `all-in-one` also mentioned in this thread and then install back the working one, and doesn't complain at all... but just in case, if you have any other version of the pixel camera might be worth uninstalling...
I have the ta-1000 version of the Nokia 6, chinese, and the stock camera has different package name but maybe is not the case on yours?
Is the only thing I can think off tbh but I'm not an Android expert by any chance.... sorry I cannot help much mate
If you look to the previous page you will see that someone pointed to the solution of the problem. But thanks anyway, i appreciate your effort.

use GCam5.1.016-Arnova8G2-v1.0 on Nokia 6 (7.1.1)
normal work。
setting:
This thread is a starter for the GCAM devs to hopefully provide us a working GCAM for the essential phone based on the new update. As of right now, you need to be on P at a minimum.
YOU NEED TO HAVE LOGCATS FOR HELP How to LOGCAT 101
You can also use a ondevice logcat tool, like matlog. I clear matlog, start it, directly create my problem, go back to matlog, stop it, then sort by "CAM" in this case, so i can see all camera related errors, then save it.
The idea is this.... all of the major gcam devs have the OP6 or something that isn't the essential phone. If we politely tag them, and have a logcat in hand, perhaps we can get support quicker for our device.
OP6 GCAM Thread
THIS IS FOR READING PURPOSES ONLY, DO NOT SPAM THEIR THREAD WITH REQUESTS, THERE WILL BE FM ACTION IN DOING SO
here is the link for @Arnova8G2 first beta
BETA 1
Hopefully, this will help get the ball rolling. Once i get home from work, i will have logcats for slo-mo, and no-hdr later.
If anybody else wants to help, again, please be descriptive with your problem, and provide a good logcat
@Arnova8G2 and @cstark27 (even though I know your moving on)
Here are logs:
1. Slomo crash. Slomo worked on test3, as long as we patch media profile, it works in general
2. No ability to take picture with hdr off
3. Taking a picture with zoom
I know these are already issues by in large. Maybe my logs will help.
Thank you for your help
Luckily for us. We have a pretty versatile phone at this point.
Tolyan009 just released his first build. It works out of the box. Here is the link.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tolyan009/#apk524
al-ro from 4pda has some good stuff too, Where tolyans right now is pretty basic but effective, al-ro has ported some of the bsg mods over.
first release

second release

Latest release

The only things I find right now as "bugs" I guess is there is no lens button in more tab. Might be a us problem, but I'm not quite sure how to figure out if it's there or not.
Added newest al-ro build to 3rd post.
I'm curious if you have seen/looked at this before - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/magisk-google-camera-telephoto-lens-t3767531 It's a mod for the Xiomi Mi A1 to be able to use the 2nd rear camera (telephoto) with Google Camera. I haven't tried it yet, kind of afraid to bootloop since it appears specific to the A1 phone. But was curious if what they've done can help get the monochrome camera working on Gcam and other apps in a similar way.
I know you (I think?) had discussed the challenges and limitations of this when asking Essential for support in an AMA in July/August in which Essential basically said "no." But wasn't sure if anything done with the A1 is different than what you've tried.

I spoke to cstark about this with the Nokia 8 ages ago and the basic idea was that if the secondary camera doesn't show up in camera identifier in the Camera2test app then there's literally no way to make this work.

Thats what ive come across as well. Im just curious though.... How is it hidden from apps like this. I know in build.prop there is a aux cam white list for apps. but ive tried adding all the package names...nothing. What are we missing, how does klik camera turn it on....

I still can't get any of these apps to quick launch from a locked ascreen with the power button shortcut. I'm just getting an error message about permissions. Is anyone else getting this or is it something I have installed that's causing the problem?
I logcatted it. Doesn't tell me much of anything unfortunately. Like what permission it wants perhaps.

Happens on my device too. It actually didn't back when using some of the first Arnova8G2's 6.1.x builds (sorry I can't remember which exact versions).
There is a *partial* solution to launching it from lockscreen - wether it is actually locked or not - by simply having the app in memory.. But that's obviously far from ideal.
Was gonna try to gather some (hopefully) helpful logs but.. :

It's really weird.
Using SystemUI Tuner, I can also confirm the very same thing happens when swiping the corresponding lockscreen shortcut.
(OT : By the way, don't know why they were originally removed since adding back phone & camera shortcuts does make the bottom messages corresponding to the targetted function : "swipe right to make a call" & "swipe left to open camera".. something like that anyways)

You lose image enhancement, but I haven't noticed any changes in the camera. Frankly the camera is pretty bad anyway, so it's kind of whatever in my book.

Hey guys. About a week ago camera app started crashing when trying to switch to the rear camera.
I tried everything I (and Google support) could imagine - reinstalling the app, force-stopping it, clearing the cash, even factory reset of my phone - the problem is still there.
I have a non-rooted phone with all the latest updates both for the app and the system. Any suggestions?
Sounds like some type of hardware issue as if the "electronic signal" from the app itself is unable to either reach or make a stable connection to the hardware. Have you tried any 3rd party camera apps? If a 3rd party app, camera or otherwise, is able to swap between the front and rear camera's without any problem then it could be software. But if not, then it it's probably hardware. YMMV

3rd party apps are also either not working at all or only a selfie camera...
still hope it's a software issue as i'm in a region which is not supported by google...
is it possible to check if it's hw or sw issue via bug report?

Not sure about how to proceed with any bug report....but a bug is usually software, not hardware. If this is hardware and I believe that it is then some type of warranty, or out of pocket repair will be needed. Maybe someone else will chime in with a better solution.

Get a logcat of it happening and upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox or something like that and post a link here. I (if I have the time to after work)or someone else here can take a look at it to see what's going on. You could try looking at it yourself as well. Make sure to clear the logs before replicating the issue.
