Hi I was wondering about why here isnt a fully functional port of Google Camera with HDR+ for non-google devices ?
If I read correctly, its SW thing, so it can be ported, but cant find anything.
Anyway after some research i think it can be possible. Its all about "hack" camera apk to think its running in Nexus 6P (or any other HDR+ compatible device), and file (for Google Camera 4.3) that control it is in
"\smali\com\google\android\apps\camera\util\ApiHelper.smali"
Can some developer look at it ?

Because your hardware and included software libraries don't support it.
Since Google Camera only support on Nexus & Pixel devices, other devices (and our devices) can't run Google Camera feature because not supported (or disabled).
Anyone can hack it? Because i want HDR+ feature at Google Camera
Is there any ROM in which Google Camera photosphere works?
In all I tested so far the images in photosphere are blurry.
Regular images are ok.
Same problem here...
I have the same problem. When you talk about Google Camera, did you tried original app that is not visible in the Google Play search (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera) or Cardboard Camera that is returned when I search Google Play store for Google Camera (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.vr.cyclops) . Google Camera works much better but not ideal
Google Camera works for me in general.
4K Video does not work (not important to me, other app can be used)
Photosphere is blurry (big issue for me, since there is no alternative)
I also tried the photosphere coming from Google Streetview - it has exactly the same issue, blurry results.
My assumption is that the issue originates somehow from drivers coming with CM/Lineage.
Since this issue exists also on other phones. E.g Note 3: There it works with stock, but not on the majority of custom ROMs.
Exception on Note 3 is the Resurrection ROM. It works fine there.
Unfortunately Resurrection does not help on LeMax.
Same problem here with Marshmallow and EUI 23s.
I don't think there's a way to fix this
I am using AOSP 8.0.0_r34 on my device and I'm trying to find a working Google Pixel Camera port with the HDR+ feature. I tried installing many APKs that I found online, but they either won't install or will install, and when I open them, I will only see a black screen with the shutter button and camera switch button.
Has anyone successfully installed one of the latest versions of the Google camera on their device? How do I do it? Are there no working Google camera ports that are compatible with the AOSP ROM? Is there hope?
Newest Camera from Google is 64bit only so it will not work on our phone because it's 32bit. There are no 32bit ports at the moment at I don't expect to be any, sadly.
HDR+ is a feature of the SoC unfortunately, not just software.
I've tried several Google camera builds but most of them crash while processing photos. So I'd like to know that which Google camera build with portrait mode and hdr+ works the best without crashing?
Mee too

Me too. I'm searching for a working Google Camera port from 2 months. I have had installed Pixel Experience custom rom as soon as I bought my phone and then I tried A LOT of Google Camera ports: BSG, Arnova, UriKill, cstark, Skulshady, Toylan, scrubber and so on... They always have FC (more or less), some of them doen't even start, or have bad quality photos, or too pink... or too FCs.
Then I changed to Lineage OS 15.1... same story: tried the most GCam ports... same results!
Today I reverted back to stock (MIUI 9.5)... installed Arnova's v7beta9... and till now I haven't had FCs!! And with stock camera I can record slow motion videos (this is not possible with gcam port)!!
But I really don't like MIUI. Even with Magisk's Pixel module.
I have been using this GCam ver. 4.4.012.156195200.build.41155109 for many months now on stock MIUI rooted with Magisk. After each OTA update I just reflash the magisk image and change the build.prop for enabling Camera 2 API, and I get it working again. The slo-mo is buggy which I found fixed using the "Google Camera Patch" in magisk repo.
Here's the link for the apk I use: drive . google . com/file/d/1iXAkhIAq4kpGsn7u_eGBMeURknJR64p6/view?usp=sharing
You can also find the apk on Android FileHost.
P.S. I can't confirm it working with any custom rom. I am on MIUI 9.2.2.0 now and it works flawlessly (HDR of stock camera doesn't work with Cam 2 API enabled)
And XDA didn't let me share the link directly
It's a very old version, not supporting "Portrait Mode", is'nt it?
It does
HDR+ : Rear
Potrait mode (Lens Blur): Both rear and front
And I should add that the HDR+ works really well... seriously!
Can you send a screenshot / link of the exact Magisk module you're talking about?
If you're talking to me, I mean the "Pixel 2 Experience" module (v. 4.4)
The module's name is "Google Camera Patch" created by "simonsmh"
