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.

I hope you're not blind too ... because it's clearly written that it was ported from P9000.

Hey guys,
thanks for your work!
I installed this ROM via TWRP on my Doogee Y6 and its working good, but I found some problems, I like to tell you.
1. When in stock camera app, if choosing the front camera, the display is to dark to see anything, but fotos taken have normal colors
2. Videos taken with front camera are deformed, like wrong resolution and size (my face is too wide )
I then installed Apps "Camera MX" and "Open Camera" but this did not solve the problem, since recording videos with front camera with this app is not possible.
In Camera MX, the timer of video is not working when taking video with back camera. In Open Camera video with back camera is not working at all (says no connection or something).
PS: The Name of the device in jpg is "Elephone Doogee Y6" (I know its ported from elephone)
Is this information helpful for your work or do you know what I can do about the camera-problems?
Because of this problems, I for now reverted back to stock rom 6.0

Bad things happen to those who don't read the entire posts!
If you can't read, I can't help you sorry.

I tried to find out what you mean or what I missed reading in this thread...
Perhaps you mean, that in original Elephone P9000 Thread it is said, that video recording is not working? Is it that?
If not, please help a newbie understand what he's done wrong
PS: I'm no native english speaker, so perhaps I'm missing something because of that?!

My apologies. I forgot to update the post here on XDA, even though I did it on my blog.
Check bugs list now. These bugs have been reported by users. The camcorder is a native bug, which means it doesn't work in the base ROM. The other bugs are quite hard to fix. I'm giving up because Doogee doesn't give us kernel sources. It's painful making roms with stock kernel.

GPS has been fixed!

[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")

Can you link here or dm me newest patch version for Pie ? @SpiderPack
I would like magisk version
EDIT: v2.025a patch for you

Only Magisk because there isn't TWRP edition of this version
https://mega.nz/#F!vDRVVC6b!M3RMVNkUK-RoEpt-IkwU_A
Gcam which I am using now:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...f/GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk
Please recommend good gcam so i also stick it there

Has anyone tried this on the latest stable MIUI 10 build?
And I can see v2.025a Patch Module in the Telegram group. What's that for?

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.

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?

Urnyx05's GCam port: Green Hue issue

Hi @Urnyx05
First of all, thank you and to all the involved devs for sharing your vast knowledge and work on making ports of the Google Camera app.
On my particular device, I ran into an issue where the output file of image capture is strongly hued green. This occurs even after a phone restart, reinstallation, and an app data clear. Video capturing seems unaffected and the live preview is normal.
Sorry as it is my first time getting a Camera2 Test, but I don't have a clue which option to capture, so I captured the first dropdown item I saw. Also, all links are from Google Drive, sorry. Also, since I'm a new user, I can't put any links. Sorry for that.

Question Portrait mode processing takes decades

Hi Guys,
Hope you all doing well.
So, I purchased an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro and got it delivered yesterday.
All seems good except camera which is very, very disappointing so far (obviously, the phone has the latest updates)
For example, no matter what picture I take in portrait mode, it takes 1-1.5 minutes (!!) to process it to add the blur which is insane as my 2 years old Notes 10 Ultra processes blur in 1-2 seconds. How is this even possible?
Do you guys have the same issue with portrait mode? I want to make sure its not my phone.
Also, I was reading that it is possible to add a blur to unprocessed picture from Google Photos but that option is simply missing from the menu no matter what picture I open.
For instance, Samsung Gallery app does add blur to all these unprocessed pictures so its not the picture itself. Google Photos simply doesn't have that option, its missing.
Google Photos also doesn't have any option to unblur a picture as its also missing. The was apparently one of the "perks" of Pixel 7 Pro but that option is not even there.
Do you guys also experience all this?
If the portrait mode processing is faster for you, can any of you kindly extract your camera and google photo apk and post it here? I will install these instead. Thanks a lot!

Try a factory reset. mine takes 4 seconds tops

Didn't help.
I didn't mention that I am using GrapheneOS.
Tried to flash stock Google image - and Portrait mode processing worked as expected.
I pulled out the original Photo and Google Camera apks from stock Google image, then installed Graphene again and installed these - same results.
It seems there are some additional libraries in stock image that are responsible for processing and they need to be installed in Graphene to make it work as expected? I couldn't identify any though - there was one called Pixel Camera Services that I also installed but still no joy.

GrapheneOS is an OS not a mod, and Google Camera works on it for a few years now - it only requires GSF to run. There are many people on XDA who are using GrapheneOS on Pixel phones so its not a unique thing. I was hoping someone who is on it can advise if they experience the same issues.

Graphene is a hugely modded OS with everything Google stripped from it. It is normal and expected for things to not work exactly the same as stock.

Good luck with that. Graphene is a poor choice for people who want to use Google anything.

I agree, its a way out of Google so yes. I don't use any other Google aps so don't really need them. Such a shame the Cam is not working as expected - I might try GCAM instead.

So then it looks like I was correct in my assumption...according to other respondents? You are running a heavily modded OS with Google stripped out of it. Of course you will have all sorts of negative issues. lol

Hi Guys,
Hope you all doing well.
So, I purchased an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro and got it delivered yesterday.
All seems good except camera which is very, very disappointing so far (obviously, the phone has the latest updates)
For example, no matter what picture I take in portrait mode, it takes 1-1.5 minutes (!!) to process it to add the blur which is insane as my 2 years old Notes 10 Ultra processes blur in 1-2 seconds. How is this even possible?
Do you guys have the same issue with portrait mode? I want to make sure its not my phone.
Also, I was reading that it is possible to add a blur to unprocessed picture from Google Photos but that option is simply missing from the menu no matter what picture I open.
For instance, Samsung Gallery app does add blur to all these unprocessed pictures so its not the picture itself. Google Photos simply doesn't have that option, its missing.
Google Photos also doesn't have any option to unblur a picture as its also missing. The was apparently one of the "perks" of Pixel 7 Pro but that option is not even there.
Do you guys also experience all this?
If the portrait mode processing is faster for you, can any of you kindly extract your camera and google photo apk and post it here? I will install these instead. Thanks a lot!

You should have mentioned first that you're NOT on the STOCK ROM before getting all "disappointed" about your phone.

Honestly, this topic is not about comparing phones - I own both and providing my feedback. Even with stock ROM, Pixel cannot match the capabilities of 2 years old Notes 20 Ultra - for example, Note 20 Ultra has real-time video background blur with different effects whilst Pixel's Cinematic mode doesn't offer many background effects and works much worse. Note 20 Ultra's portrait mode has much more different real-time effects, etc. But as I said this topic is not about comparing but trying to resolve a problem, so its pointless to write comments like this.

I took this one of my daughter just to see and mine did not have that problem. It processed quick quickly

It's pointless to write something is broken, and then ask people if theirs is broken too, while ignoring completely the fact that you're on a CUSTOM ROM while people are clearly saying "It's working" fine, yes, on stock ROM.
I'm not trying to argue now, but it's important to mention such stuff so people can actually "help" in a more "accurate" way instead of just writing "it works fine for me", while they're not using the same ROM as you do.
Peace

Please do your research before posting - Google Camera does work on GrapheneOS with Google Services installed.
If you know anything about the issue, then please respond.
If not, its pointless making comments like this and flooding the thread - let other people who are running Graphene to read and share their experience.

The issue you're having is not there in the stock ROM, something you didn't mention in your thread.
But I'll walk away because you're clearly ignoring the fact that you didn't mention here a KEY factor, because it's definitely the issue of your CUSTOM ROM and not stock ROM. So, don't get angry when you get responses like this.

So you are running a ROM, and or modded your phone and wonder why things don't work? SMH
