I think it's because of some limitations in hardware related resource availability or permissions. We dont have the Camera2API working on our device.
And by the way I couldnt get the sense of what youbwere trying to say with the message above

It must be related to camera2api

Will any senior member please answer why GCAM MOD or any GCam doesn't support on honor 5x!!?? I have tried many of them but only Gcam version 2.0 supports in it. It is very much earlier version (for android kitkat).I don't know the reason.
N.B: I also enabled camera2 api and hal debug with buildprop.editor ; but still it doesn't work. very annoying....

Gcam won't work, because the camera's hardware limited. You can install the camera2.api, through a module( forgot which thing I'm using, magisk, or xposed). It still won't take, because of hardware. I've got it to install, and load , then it closes when the camera starts to focus.

[New] Google Camera [ Everything Working ]

Couple days ago a new port for Google Camera was released with support for a few devices which include the OnePlus 3/3T and the OnePlus 5.
With this update a lot has changed, like support for Camera HDR+ with RAW support, full HDR+ customisation. But this for everything to work properly you need to tweak the developer setting in the app settings so that everything could work as expected. After trying tens of combination I got almost everything working as it was supposed to and also a few extra things (^^). Like hdr+ with zsl, smart burst, raw, 60fps video recording, slow motion etc.
Here's a video showing everything you need to do step by step :
NOTE : FOR SLOW MOTION TO WORK YOU NEED TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE WITH MAGISK AND INSTALL A MODULE.
SOURCE : https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/
DOWNLOAD LINK : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617934890
To significantly reduce the processing(capture time for her+) time you could set the buffer time to either 1 or 3 and restart the app. But the application crashes more if you do so.
.
.
.
UPDATE 1:
Best config for the new version 4.0 app.
.
.
.
UPDATE 2:
Hey guys use this new apk of the port, no setup of config needed and works great but no burst mode or raw capture.

Thanks so much for your hard work.
A quick question. Can you remember which of the settings got the video stabilisation working. On the Rom I'm running I can't see to get it to work. No dramas if you can't remember. Totally understand.

First off thank you but I didn't do any of the hard work, all the hard work went to porting which I didn't do I just found a working configuration.
Check the ss and see if everything is similar to what I have after that video eis should work if still it doesn't then clear app data and try again.
This camera works great on LOS15, wish there was a full manual mode.

Google camera port with Hdr+ (abandoned)

This is kinda work in progress port of Gcam with hdr+ for arm devices. it's based on google camera version 4.2.035.141213305-arm.
it needs camera api 2 enabled. you can enable it via flashing the zip I've attached or add below line into build.prop.
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Stock rom is preferred, but it should work on all roms as long as above requirement is met.
Google camera apk
Please let me know if auto/touch focus works or not. happy testing :good:
Credit : @defcomg
Requires TWRP for flashing zip. or root for manually editing build.prop
Nice to see another thread on this..
Is root needed??
Also please try new Google camera APK.
Appreciate your work.
I see many devices having their own port of Google camera with more or less features, did you tried some of them on g5s? GCam ports for other devices on g5s?

Newer gcam apks are 64bit only so they won't work on phones with 32bit os like g5/g5s/g5+/g5s+ etc. this also needs root or custom recovery like TWRP to flash attached zip. i don't have this phone that's why i posted it here so others can see if it works.
slowmotion video won't work, nor i will fix it. since stock cam have that option already. this is only for hdr+.

Slow motion video works for me on XT 1806, also AEX 5.0 has the option already enabled, so you might not have to root if on a custom rom.

Interesting, just to be sure you have set hdr+ to always on ? how's the image quality now tho ? any improvements ?
can you post some samples with/without hdr+ ? :good:
I also tried this port. Work quite fine, on screen in live capturing there's some light/colours distortions, but in the shot in the gallery is perfect. The app sometimes crashes, but it's still usable.
Shots with her+ shows a good quality in low light with good noise reduction and details compared to stock camera app. When I'll got some free time I'll post samples.
I tried this camera, my phone is not rooted and wouldn't know about api2 able... Wouldn't mess up with system files... Anyway, I installed this camera and works... Photos have good detail on them, only problem is a bit too much noise and it creates a raw file that I never asked... Anyway, hope the developer manages to reduce noise and stop that raw file... Thanks

kraatus90- Is this different from the version on the G5+ forums in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/themes/potentially-google-camera-port-t3684264
I've been playing with that one all day on my G5+ (non S variant, single camera), but the focus issue is driving me bonkers. Even the posted "workaround" which requires going to video and focusing, then going back and trying to lock focus... sometimes the focus will drift when the camera reinits upon photo mode.

How did you get it to work without rooting and without enabling Camera2 API?

Are you on an S or regular Moto 5+? The S version, as I understand, has camera2 already enabled by default. I think the dual camera stock setup uses it internally so it was always there. As far as it working without root- the app itself doesn't require root to run, however if you have a phone that lacks Camera2 API, you'd need to root in order to fix that.

I have G5 plus. Yes, I know that app itself doesn't require root; indeed, I was referring to enabling the Camera2 API.
I guess I'll have to wait for Oreo update which will have it enabled by default :/

What makes you think that? Api2 has been around since Lollipop, I think phones leave it disabled when it isn't needed by the stock camera. For example, the G5S plus (which this thread is referring to) has it enabled, even on Nougat, and I think that's because the dual camera thing required some fancy magic in the stock app to make it work, and that was accessible via api2.
BTW, I'm not rooted, but I unlocked my bootloader and changed the build.prop through recovery to add the line. Still mostly stock on my G5 plus (non S variant, like yours).
moto has opted for 32bit operating system and apparently the google camera port only works with devices with 64bit os

Google Camera Mod for Xperia X?

No. You could unlock bootloader and use a custom ROM with Camera2 API enabled though, that's the only way.

Could you please elaborate more? Which exactly "latest GCam mod"? And what are "recommended settings"? Unfortunately, I can't read thoughts...
Forget HDR, can you get Motion Photos that way or whatever they are called?
Google's implementation is the closest to Apple's Live Photos there is, there is no contest otherwise. Trust me, I looked around.
Also, there is no "latest GCam mod"... There's a LOT of Google Camera mods.
Here, have a look: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Yeah... I know... And don't bother ctrl+F-ing "Xperia" or "Sony"...
Funny how we Xperia X users all know that the stock camera app sucks balls, but there is nothing really out there in terms of gCam to fix it.
Sidenote: really unfortunate that Google is not supplying gCam to anyone anymore. The added features are in parts the things people will miss from iPhone and the typical argument that with Android you're free to mix software and hardware gets a huge blow.
It'd be less annoying if Pixels had an SD card slot.

How do I install the stock OOS camera app on LineageOS 18.1?

Hi,
I use LineageOS 18.1 and a GCam mod for a camera app. It takes great pictures, however, it lacks support for some features, like 48MP images and (good) macro.
I wanted to install this APK, but as the note says, "Sideloading this APK may not work, so you may need root to install. "
Can someone tell me the steps to install it?
Just install it as a normal apk and see if it works.
Or, extract the apk from the stock rom

I don't know how to do that. Plus, getting the original OOS cam to work on a custom rom seems to be a pretty big problem, as read in this thread. I guess it hasn't been successfully ported to LOS yet. This is a pretty big issue for me as well, as I am a heavy camera user and really don't want to go back to OOS.
IMO that rom is useless without a proper camera app
There has been a previous thread on this topic, in that thread, a user mentions that havoc os has OOS' camera built in. Havoc os is a highly customisable, fast os, usually just as fast as lineage. However, no one has ported havoc for the oneplus 8 pro, its currently available for the 8t. Maybe make a new thread requesting for havoc os with OOS cam, or any rom with OOS cam, as it has been proven possible by havoc os.

Well, I certainly wouldn't call it useless, I like LOS very much, but the lack of a proper camera (meaning, one that supports all the modes that the original OOS camera does) is really a bummer.

The first thread you linked is exactly the one I linked to. Yeah, I may post a request for OOS camera to be ported to LOS - where do I do that? The "OnePlus 8 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods" forum?
Thanks for the second link. So far I've tried the stock LOS camera, which is pretty good, but no 48MP, macro and RAW support, OpenCamera and 5-6 versions of GCam. GCam is probably the best, but it too lacks good macro and 48MP.

I may have jumped the gun on calling it useless. But a major oversight and deal breaker for me.
just install a third party camera app, which has the features you need (e.g. from play store)
Based on my experience of building ROMs from source, OOS camera support has to be baked in by the dev. It's covered in the jaguar ROM thread as well. There are OP specific libraries needed to support it.

You are right. AICP and CRDroid also have the stock camera but no 48mp. Even Oneplus themselves had problems with 48mp on the earlier roms for the 8 Pro.

So far the best one I tried is the one suggested here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/yn67un/_/j4lawr0
Still far from fully working, but promising at least, since most of what I tested just force closes.
The gcam above (look for the latest version) with and specific XML and lib (here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/configs-bsg-03/ ) for de 12T Pro seem to be the best option now
site
Hello, guys do you have problem with the Gcam and the xml file:
Arcide-8.7-for-Xiaomi-12T-Pro.xml with this lib: lib8.7_Arcide_2023-01-15.so
With MIUI upddate the gcam started to crash and its like the GCAM is loosing the setting file coz when its not crashing then photos looks terrible, even worst than stock cam.
I updated for the latest GCAM and imported the settings again and it didn't fix the problem.
If the latest version works for you guys can you do comparision photo stock vs gcam settings, maybe its the xml fault?
Sorry for my English, thank you in advance if anyone can help
Have a nice day.
dont use this gcam, its bad. Autofocus is missing half of the shots.
Just received my 12T Pro today. Installed LMC8.4_R18F1 from Hasli on it. Seems to work fine out of the box.
Still just testing stuff out. Man this standard camera is upping the colours a lot. I still have my Poco F2 Pro but that one is a bit less colourly. With the Gcam colours seem more natural.

Updated the phone out of the box to the latest MIUI (14.0.9) , Installed that cam as everyone sais that it crashes with Gcam.
And I also installed another Gcam to test .. it crashed so it is repeatable what someone said.
As per your question. No config loaded and it works semi perfectly. No crashes or whatever, Tried video, portret, all the camera lenses after switching them on in the settings. It all seems to work for now. (need to test more)
If I have time I will try to mess with the settings for a config, but time is not my friend at the moment.
I also use that Gcam on my Poco F2 Pro and it is generaly really good. With a bit to many things to play with actually.
Oww tried portrait with the selfie cam, a serious difference in the positive way.
At least my grass is not nuclear green now when taking a photo. They should really have some colour settings in the standard camera.
Seems like a good base to make some config files for.
edit: only thing I see so far is that panorama doesn't work
