[Magisk/TWRP] [All variants] A2 camera for S5 ; DISCONTINUED - Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps

For my own phone, I have adapted the magisk Mi A2 camera module from this and this thread so it works with our phone, and it works great! It is the best picture quality that I have found, equivalent to google camera 3.2 (but with many other options). HDR works, as well as most functions (all video modes including pausing during video, pictures in torch mode...). I've disabled options that don't work. I've also added the higher quality fixes that are in this thread of the S5 apps section.
Tested on oreo, reported working on nougat & pie. Should work on any AOSP variant/rom as it contains its own libraries.
I am not sure why but it seems not to be working on touchwiz roms.
After installing, you need to manually add the permissions if you have a "cannot connect to camera error". If your camera app has named itself "camera has been disabled"with a banner in the cameras app itself, you need to remove the module, reboot, then reinstall it (thanks @DarkSideOfMyRoom)
Enjoy!

Thanks for your work on this great camera mod!
I just flashed it on CrDroid v4.6 (based on LOS15.1) and I'm getting a can't connect to camera error, any advice?
Edit: I found that all the permissions for the app was disabled by default and the app didn't ask for permissions, I allowed all the permissions and it works now. (Maybe just add a note to the OP telling people to allow the permissions)
Thanks for the mod

Hi there,
Just wondering whether you need to have magisk to flash this camera port? As I don't have it.
Thanks.

Hi, this module is only for magisk. If you want I can do a flashable zip, just tell me.
Otherwise, you can manually extract the "system" folder from the zip and add its content to your own "/system " folder using a root file manager such as FX explorer. The probability of issue is very low as there is no overwriting of local files, however please do a full backup before just to be on the safe side!

+1 on flashable zip. I've been holding off on installing Magisk but I guess I'll try it out. Slow-Mo/High FPS (120) recording are enabled on this ROM, correct?

Will this work for the DreamUX mod or does that mod not need it since it's stock based, i.e it has the stock camera with normal quality ?

---

Thanks for this! It works great on my kltedv on RR Nougat.

v1.2 : panorama works & TWRP zip
@rcmaehl @Paul_Lunardi
Hi, here is a quick TWRP flashable zip. Please let me know if everything goes right before I add it to the OP. It is quite simple so we shouldn't expect issues : I've removed all the things that are dependent on the A2 graphic processor and doesn't work on our phones. I've added the new panorama mode fix.
According to my phone, safety net in magisk passes even after flashing it.

From what I read, DreamUX is based on Samsung A7, whether this camera is based on Xiaomi A2.
The camera is pretty much standalone (apk + libs) so it should work in any roms.

Which file did you flash? magisk or TWRP? I wonder if it is the mediaprofile files that increase picture quality. When I have time, I'll do a version without it

Here is another version, could you try if it works ?
- included : apk + libraries + panorama fix
- removed : increased picture quality, camera permissions (should anyway be already on your phone)
Also, you can try waiting for as long as a full minute while booting after installing the mod - I've noticed that large magisk modules significantly increase the time spent on the samsung logo

It boots fine now but the Camera app force closes instantly after launching. I also tried clearing cache and allowing all the permissions.
