It enables camera API2 if you put that string in build.prop.
Tested with Manual Camera, which won't work if you don't have API2.
I can't select 20Mp though

i know what it does hal3. i am saying that mate 10 pro have disable and on the cameraprob test the camera seems looked to limited.
i am asking if anyone rooted have try to unlock and take full functions of API 2 after enabling the HAL 3 .

And I did try. Though the Manual Camera compatibility test app shows the same result even with HAL3 disabled, it shows that api2 is fully functional.
Edit: ah, camera2 probe. Will test now.
Edit2: Limited, with HAL3 in build.prop.
Nothing at all changed.

The 20Mp in the huawei's app, it's a software feature, right ?

Enabling Camera2 API

Some of you may have seen this in the RN3 Forum, but it seems its method also works on the Mi 5 with the side effect of having the front camera flipped.
Those of you with keen photography skills may find it useful to see if you can get better pictures with apps supporting Camera2.
Wow! Thanks for the useful information.

Offtopic could you attach libmmcamera_imx298.so from /system/vendor/lib I would like to try and enable 60fps recording
Works for me with aforementioned front camera flipped on latest ResurrectionRemix.
Did someone find a fix for the front camera?
No updates here?? I'm really interested about implementing Camera2 API for Mi5. I had it in NExus 5 and it was great improvement.
What will we get by enabling this on Mi5?
Is Mi5 stock camera getter better picture? Can someone explain or post sample image?
Actually, I have tried but can't see different.
Lets hope someone can find a fix on the upside down front camera

Is that an only issue? upside down front camera? Camera2 API is working fine on a relevant camera app (e.g. A Better Camera)?

the stock camera crashes on miui 7 but not on 8 and the front camera is upside down on miui 8 not on 7
Works fine for me, manual camera test shows everything is supported. Also I don't get any upside down problem. MIUI EU 8.0.10.0. MIUI camera's manual mode is actually enough for most conditions. Long exposure for sure works great though I've only tested max 4s at ISO 100. I really need an object for taking 32s exposure.

Found a fix for the front camera being flipped: You need to edit "/system/etc/camera/msm8996_camera.xml".
There are 4 entries: 2 for the back camera (CameraId 0) and 2 for the front camera (CameraId 2).
We'll edit only the 2 for the front camera: We'll change the "MountAngle" from 360 (which means "Defined by kernel") to 270. Don't touch any entries for CameraId 0!
Save and reboot your device.

There's is a separate post in the guides section. Which explains how to. This is for the snapdragon/pro variant. I can't say for your version of miui yes or no. But there's a post just about that. So that would be the place to ask

Wow thanks, and this camera have beautify mode!
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA Labs
Good sharing, but i can't use manual setting. I've enabled camera 2 api, Manual camera, proshot and open camera works flawlessy, but with this i can't set my exposure time and iso. When i try to change vales, black screen, does'nt FC, but camera turns to black images. So black photo. Possible that have lost libraries?

I notice the manual iso doesn't allow for full control. It works fine with shutter speed set to manual and manual iso. But when set to auto shutter speed. Iso adjustment doesn't go high enough. Leaving u with a very dark screen unless u use manual on both iso and shutter
Here's a photo moving my hand fast with .5s shutter speed and 100 iso. The values on manual iso/shutter need adjusting for this device but when both set to manual works great. I'm not a software writer so I can't. I could try but is that safe haha wonder if @TheStrix would wanna use this on the official cm13 build. Few adjustments and its a perfect stock camera. With the camera2 api functions

[RR-O-6] HDR+ in only working on selfie cam(by now). Only Oreo 8.1. Check pictures!!

Thanks to @2CanSan. He reported this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/themes/magisk-based-gcam-port-ar-sticker-t3730837 in the AospExtended ROM V5.2_V4.6 by @NFound.
I have been doing test with the GCAM magisk modules. There are 7 versions 15A to 15G. I started with G version but the configuration is fixed and I can meke the cam work. The F version is very configurable. I have done a lot of test and I have achieved the frontal cam HDR+ and Potrait work.
It would be great someone with AEX(Oreo) test this module and report the results.
Steps:
0. ROM Resurection remix Oreo(8.1). It can be found in the AospExtended ROM V5.2_V4.6 thread
1. Install Link v15F
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754461390
3.Open the Gcam(installed with the point 1 module) and follow this steps:
Note: back camera is working but hdr+ is not working, is like a normal camera apk.
3 in Settings/B-S-G Mod setting
- Select Model Pixel II.
- In Manual fixed black level offset select 63.
4. Exit from setting. Close the app and Remove the gcam from the tasks.
5. Open the camera (become black because the back camera is not working) and change to front camera.
6. In Settings/Advanced options enable HDR+ control.
7. Disable Movement, Disable flash and enable HDR+ improved. Test your results against the rom camera. Attached mines.
8. Test front potrait mode. Works almost fine..there are some arifacts.
Note. if you change the app setting and the app crashes and don't let you change the settings, remove app data and start the configuration from the beginning.
Tha app allows log so maybe our great co-phone developers can make the back camera work. It would be great!!!

In mode of magisk the S.O Crash and Reset in AEX
only Install in Recovery, You are warned ...!!!
It works even if those color bands did not come out in the photos, it would be excellent: D this I had seen before, there is a dedicated thread of the essensial Phone and version 7 is the only one that works with Axon 7, I had tested it in the OrderKriegger ROM but I confirm and confirm that it works with AEX.
The normal selfie camera works as well, but I feel that the portrait mode has more quality in the image ... the bug made it to lose. If you like selfies this is your app ... if the front camera as in my case you have it more ... better looking to improve the rear camera! : D
I have posted this in the magisk gcam module:
Hello all. Firts of all thanks for your sharing.
I have an Axon 7 with Resurrection Remix 6 (Android 8.1 based on LOS). I have flased the 15F version and selected Pixel II in "Model" and Auto in ·Config camer HDR+".
I have Front camera hdr+ working on front camera....Incredible improvement of quality in special at night!!
But back camera is not working (only work when I remove gcam data and "Model" is not selected).
I hava compared the logcat on front and back camera opening and the error in the back camera is this:
E Camera3-Device: Camera 0: sendRequestsBatch: RequestThread: Unable to submit capture request 2 to HAL device: Function not implemented (-38)
I know our device camera has not Google camera API 2 implemented, but why front is working and not back? Any advice?
Thanks!!
HDR+ is working but portrait has alot of blue and red artifacts on front camera back camera dosent work unless changing the model i hope something gets a workaround soon

You don't have HDR+ enhanced. Of course. I could also take pictures with the back camera, but HDR+ enhanced actually takes a bunch of pictures (an 8 shot burst i think) and puts a loading circle for half a second in the middle of the screen while it does. after that, when you open the gallery it should blend them all together. If you actually see a huge difference then it works.
Use the front one and choose HDR+ enhanced, you'll see what it does if you have it configured correctly

Google Camera support Discussion

As this device powered by SD 730 chipset it should support gcam port...
So share gcam mod that supports on our Device
we are waiting

I found Urnyx05's latest version runs well without issues. As well as Arnova but requires to switch the Mod in order to make the slow motion work.
But switching camera lenses is missing in both versions. Also timelapse does not run of 4k mode in Urnyx05.

I noticed a big difference between google camera and the stock camera in terms of landscape views, google camera does a lot better(especially after turning on Lib patcher settings). But for individual objects it seems the stock camera does better in terms of exposure. I think I will depend on google cam just for landscape photos and raw images.
One thing I also found today, when I record with Slow Motion in google cam.. the video will not work.
I haven't found any that adequately support the phone's cameras.
Waiting in vain for astrophotography support with more than 3sec shutter speed.
This device doesn't even have a full PRO camera mode that can adjust shutter speed.
got it on my stock build A71. Photo's are good, but can't do widescreen. Videos are ok, seams quicker on videos, less time "catching up " with what's on the screen . will test outside later, no AR as well , but stable.
we need a port that can use the fullest of the cameras, ex: 64mp, this way we can take raw pictures and have more control

I'm not sure samsung allows full access to the camera for 3rd party apps in the A71. For example I can't get 60 or more fps in any 3rd party app regardless of the resolution, including filmic pro. Only 30 and 24 fps is possible. Real shame...

Yeah I noticed that too, This phone cameras are really good, nothing to complain, just the stock camera app that It's too limited, the phone support camera2api but the stock app doesn't let us tweak our photos in a professional way, there's that "Pro" mode in the app but it's nothing near the real capabilities of Camera2Api with raw photos and so on.
I read in Arnova's article in Google Camera port that there is a module for magisk to enable all the cameras of the phone. Anyone tried it ?
Also I would confirm that there are still issues with the slow motion recorder, the video will be lagging.
I have just checked the last update of Urnyx 7.3.0.018and added the config file of Samsung A71 and it actually works very well! even switching Auxiliary Camera works. But there are two things are still missing:
1-It seems it swithces to the wide camera only (12mp) for both 0.6x and 2x, so 64mp and micro are not added.
2-Slow motion mode still lagging.
I think we should work on making a specific version or configs for A71 which enables the rest of Cameras.
[UPDATE]
Using Arnova Gcam, lastest version. I was able to switch the camera lens between 12mp (wide) and 16mp(main). The other lenses keep crashing the app.
This was done by setting ID Camera 0 and ID Camera 2 in the Mod settings. Maybe by the magisc module it may work, yet my phone is not rooted.

We have a new system update that enables some of the pro mode functions. However, when changing the shutter speed the stock camera always fails...
And some changes when doing an astrophotography shot with the gcam before the update there is less than 3 sec shutter speed. Now i can get 14 sec. But the photo still dark and awful.

There are two options 1/4 and 1/8.. both keep lagging after playing the recorder. in 1/4 it is less lagging though. i am not sure if 1/4 is 60 or 30 fps

By editing the options you can export a config file. For example in Arnova's version, there is a mod option which gives you extra optiions that you set and then export a config file, I don't know much but I think for our case we need deeper changes in the port. We might need to edit the port files.

Yes but that's not enough, I personally aim for 64mp camera and if we are able to take RAW images with that will be a nice thing. We have a good camera in this phone but it is diappointing Samsung did not provide Raw Images option in the new update.

For now I have no plans, it is still risky as long as there is little support for the phone in the forum. But I would love to get deeper in helping to improve a better port of GCam for the phone.
Is anyone elses viewfinder laggy? The preview image?
