What features did you find missing on Nougat? My only gripes were that locking exposure compensation doesn't stay completely locked on Nougat and the camera settings were better laid out on Marshmallow.
Upside was, the HDR mode finally worked as intended (didn't work for me on Lollipop and Marshmallow).

Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.
To one of my queries in Lineage OS thread, one user responded the following:

I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.

People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?

Regarding FP Sensor I got confused. Goodix has issues with some roms right? or is it FPC?

I don't know about LCD. And yes oreo roms has issues with goodix sensor right now, but devs are trying hard to get it fixed and eventually it will.
Doesn't matter where you buy it, it's 100% random you can get anything.

Doesn't work on custom rom I am guessing? On RR.
Hello everyone, i have a problem with my Z2. I unlocked the phone and the camera became very bad (I didn't know that sony has done such a thing while unlocking). So, I updated my phone to R.Remix 7.1.2 v5.8.5 and the camera is still bad. I know that it's normal. So I'm looking for the fix but i can't find the proper one. There are some solves but they are for MM or stock nougat. I can't be sure if i should try.
Can anyone help me? My camera is very bad and it's irritating me very much. Thanks.

1) You are sure that camera have something on lens?
2) Carbon based rom have "drm fix" for camera .
3) You have try stock camera porting?
4) Unlocking bootloader give bad camera on stock sony roms and other loss of things for drm loss. In stock rom you can put drm fix or elite kernel because drm fix are built in. On custom roms with 3.4 kernel based, there is something similar but for camera.
5) If you try only 20 mpx, with normal quality(not high), on bad light, is normal that camera gives "bad" image. Use 8 mpx instead 4:3. Sensor is 4:3 and with this format you can have best quality.
6) I advice to put carbon rom instead of this or rr 5..8.4 of 21 september 2017 for mic problems of 5.8.5

guys without drm fix camera would not even work
so rr is based on carbon trees and the camera performance is the same between stock and carbon
i made a picture with stock and one with carbon and can't see a diffrence

With carbon based roms, i think camera better than stock in most of cases xD Expecially i'm using sony port camera. This for different parameters. On auto with those roms .Iso can't reach other 3200 iso,on stock porting scene doesn't recognized (in most of cases seems better), focus seems more affordable. But on z2 i always advice to shoot on 8 mpx 4:3 to get in most of cases best results in every situation. 20 only on really light situation to have best details,because z2 is one of first experiment with high megapixel camera and noise reduction doesnt' work well on high megapixel shoots(unlike latest xperias). And always use 4:3 for best images. 16:9 is a cropped image. And to have this results on a custom rom i think is a miracle. In most of cases, camera on those roms are going really worst. With this,is going like stock or better. Thank you for your work
Is the new camera AI part of Oreo 8.0, or is it a separate update? I've updated on Verizon, but see no new modes in the camera. Some people, after updating to Oreo, have reported that their splash screens now show V30S Thin Q. Mine doesn't. Is this all carrier related? Thanks

Not all Oreos have them. Mine updated to oreo and got 2-3 more updates before getting the ThinQ features (which weren't even announced until well after Oreo was released for Korean carriers). Maybe some carriers skip the earlier updates and go straight to the version with ThinQ but there's definitely previous oreo versions without these features.
AI should be separate. It’s an LG software, not a Google Oreo component. Though I think some of the Oreo updates received by some carriers from LG may include both.

Thanks to both replies.
That's what I thought. How would you know? Is it a Kernel version?
Hello everyone. Unfortunately I got the Omnivision sensor in my mido and I'm facing with problems on GCam. There's many, many threads about it, but all of 'em are from January/February. Now it's end of May so I would like to ask, are there any news about it?
I'm on latest MiracleDroid based on Oreo 8.1 and the only GCam is working properly in very bright light is GCam5.1.014-Arnova8G2-v10.2-Test-8-mido-Omnivision-sensors.apk which was posted in 2017.
I also tried flashing "mido-7.12.28-camera-blobs.zip"
Maybe I'm just dumb and cannot find anything newer for daily camera?
If you know any newer port working on Oreo mido OV, I would be so glad. I tried so many cams posted here: http://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
All I tried have problems on mido OV. Maybe there are some new libs, I haven't found
The ROM I use features kernel fixes: https://github.com/MiracleDROID/and...mmit/d8475c985a4b1a90dabe56a3cb277ebe674e12e0
Please help me, I know how great photos makes latest BSG's "All auto corr 2" port, but it keep crashing in good light ;(
Best regards, Damian
Yup any more development for mido on google camera plz

I have a Samsung sensor, but most GC versions also crash on high-contrast scenes. Lately I've been using the versions from "arthur" and they're rock solid.

Hello. I was asking about newer cam, 3.4 is very old.
I tried Arnovas 7.9 but it crashes in bright light with or without motion photos.

Serjo is not working.
About ukril dont know about this version.
It has been month since last check. Did something changed, or still SerJo's version test4c from February is the best?
Maybe somebody found a way to use panorama/photosphere on Android Oreo?
Hallo hallo everyone
I'm new to this device's forum since I got the device used to MP3 purposes, this DAC is insanely good with my Sennheiser Momentum headphones so I'm looking for the best stable ROM and most recent ROM possible for audio and media quality and stability cause I don't make calls (only use Wifi and sometimes camera).
Thanks
AS
PS: Used to have a lot of free time years ago to make stuff and test it but right now I really can't sorry
I would say US998 Oreo would be easiest and simplest. You could go custom, of course, especially since you're not doing any calls.
What's wrong with whatever current ROM you have? What are you looking to "improve"?
I would go with latest stock oreo

Right now im using LineageOS 16.1 I guess so far in terms of stability haven't encontered much issues but the audio sometimes doesnt feel as good.

Yeah. Stock Pie isn't as stable as Oreo.
Pie seems feels a work in progress that LG abandoned during final stages of testing

I also tested several custom ROMS like Havoc, Potatoes, PE, LOS, dotOS ..... But each time I come back to the Stock version (PIE). Why is it not possible to have the Audio drivers (Quad DAC) fully supported as well as a good camera / videos on these ROMS?

Because the most of the LG apps/features require LG framework to work which AOSP doesn't have.
