Hello
I am currently running LiquidRemix pie, happy about it, everything is smooth. However, I have tried several Gcam ports so far, and none seems to work.
Is there one with working focus? I do not mean autofocus, but just manual focus, where I click on object, and cam will focus it. I feel like almost every Gcam port out there tries to autofocus, but fails and focus on nothing, resulting in really blurry images. Other features working well (HDR+ and such).
However, I see many people using Gcam as a main daily driver, so I believe there is a way to make the manual focus work. I am bit lost in the quantity of Gcam ports, so maybe I missed some. Or could it be glitch in LiquidRemix pie rom ?
If it is glitch in LiquidRemix pie rom, please recommend me other. I dont need top notch performance, usually just youtube, sometimes cam, reading reddit and just basic stuff. Long battery life is a big plus too.
Thank you very much for input

Best gcam for me is BSG test (search for bsg dev on celsoazevedo page)
Autofocus is not an issue of the rom, it's a kernel issue
Try zucc kernel

Kernel fixed that issue, but brought others (media playback issues). I also have occasional data issue, which seems to be common in this rom.
What rom do you use? I would like to use something stable, with that GCAM, that is my only requirments (no need to have Pie, if its possible to have Gcam on oreo)
Thanks for recommendations

While the CM13 included camera app is relatively fast and great for quick-snap photos, I did manage to make some impressive photos while playing around on EMUI camera in Pro mode (before I flashed the phone), looking suprisingly good for such a low tier camera.
Since there's no manual mode in CM13, which camera app would you recommend to purchase/download(if free)?
Also, is the HDR bug guaranteed to occur in every app?
Thanks in advance!
Snap Camera works great!
How do u get SnapCamera on CM? Can you just flash it or..

As far as I'm aware Honor 5x nightlies don't include the Snap camera yet. It ships with the legacy Camera, which takes mediocre pictures and can't do HDR or Panoramas.
Google Camera is available for Panoramas, but the accelerometer/gyroscope is very jittery on the phone, so the stitching doesn't do a good job.
I don't think this issue is gonna be resolved until Camera2 API is ported into our CM nightly.

I do think the same, it's about software, not a specific camera app
I tried putting the ro.camera2.prtabilty.force_api=1 in the default.prop file by splitting boot.img and reflashing boot.IMG, putting manual focus line in build.prop and then flashing the ported emui 4.0 camera with twrp... Still badluck as it says Unfortunately, camera has stopped working
Just use Cm marsh(cm based costom ROM ) comes with snap camera

I've found that, no matter what camera app I install, I can't get the same picture quality I used to get on the stock ROM. Is there a reason for this? The drivers, maybe?

Hey there guys, i have 9.0 pixel experience ROM on my RN4. Camera2api enabled.
I don't know which version of gcam i am currently using but it gives a lot of force close errors and a green tint on front cam too.
I tried a lot of apps to know whether I've a Samsung or Sony sensor in it, but to no avail.
Would you please be so kind as to point me to the best gcam version suitable for my device right now?
Thank you so much kind stranger.

NO FC's, no green tint, portrait works, HDR works for both front and back and you can choose bitrate for video recording, using it for months and never looked back.
To avoid issues first fully remove old gcams you have installed.
Also i recommend flashing this magisk modules: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1RkHruqNGIKnkgfhX0B7BaeEGYc-airBc
It will let you record in [email protected], fixes distorted sound in video recordings and enables 30fps in viewfinder. (it works for Samsung / Sony, not sure about Omnivision)
To check which sensor you have just run some logcat reader, open gcam and shoot few pics, look for sensor info in log.
What is gcam? Can anyone explain.

Gcam stands for Google Camera. That's camera app from Google and it is originally found on Google (Pixel, etc.) devices. However, when using it on other phones, it can significantly improve photo quality in comparison to what stock camera and other available alternatives on the market can achieve. That's because Google Camera relies heavily on "clever" software and superior photo processing algorithms capable of generating and preserving more data. So even hardware-wise "bad cameras" can benefit from using it. Of course there are some downsides as well, since the app is not designed to be run on other - non Google - devices you need modified version of it in order to use it. That said there are many different modifications of said application with variuos degrees of functionality, bugs and stability. You can check most of them collected here.

Hi there,
I am using CM and LOS for a few years now, on a S4, an OPO and some tablets. Never got problems with it,
everything was working fine. Now I got my new 7T Pro and flashed it with LOS & MicroG and everything is
working fine again, except the cam app. Seems to be, that the LOS cam app only uses the 12MP cam and I
did not see any options to switch the three cams. The cam the app is using makes terrible pictures if it is
getting a little bit darker, then everything gets blurred. So I searched for the OOS cam app and found this:
OnePlus Camera 4.5.44 (READ NOTES)
Is it possible to only install this apk and then it is working? I read about some cam.zip, that have to be flashed
to get it working? Is there a way to get the camera working properly? So nice hardware but the LOS cam app is a no go.
Xmas time, time for next try with camera.
I tried few versions of the OnePlus Camera apks, installs without errors but after starting the app
everything stays black on the display, only the three standard android buttons viewable.
Someone got a hint for me? Only want to get cam working properly.
Found this:
Urnyx05 GCam Port
And now all three cams are working, quality of pictures is much better, night mode and many other
working things. So GCam Port from Urnyx05 works fine on 7T Pro.
I tried a couple of Gcam ports and found that while I could take photos fine, the screen is blank when I attempt to record videos.
Is there a port that works correctly?
On a side note, how does one turn off beautification in the stock camera app?
Edit: PX8.1 by Urnyx05 seems to work.
tigr: trCamera_Xmas_Release.apk
Download trCamera_Xmas_Release.apk by tigr.

video audio not working
You must restart the phone after installation. Then the sound works.
I found and set the functional camera to select the lens.
Gcam7.3.018_Greatness.Build2.3.apk (camera)
main[1].xml (my config file)
1) Install the camera. Uninstall the previous GCAM if you cannot install.
2) Start the camera and go to the settings. Config>Save>"a" (SAVE).
3) File main[1].xml copy to /sdcard/gcam/Configs7/
4) Start the camera, double-click this place (photo below) select main file>RESTORE
You get the settings, Wide, Main, Macro lens.
Video works only in normal mode. Slow doesn't work.
EDIT: Only the video recording with sound does not work here due to a current kernel custom rom bug.

Awesome, just got this on mine and can confirm it works on nezuko rom, if anyone is curious. Thanks man.
If you have the latest version of Vendor from Miui, slow video will work.
So everything will work in this GCAM!
also works on dotOS 5.0.1 with microG (no Google Play Services & Play Store).
The problem with video recording must be caused by the phone's sleep mode.
Maybe it turns off some codec that takes care of merging image and audio.
Certainly not a problem during the recording process.
The problem definitely arises at the moment of merging the two recorded tracks.
Some cameras will shut down at this point, other cameras save the video with the tracks behind (only the sound is played and only after that the image is played), other cameras save only the image itself.

This could be it. But, I am still hoping this is fixed in next update. I record at least once a month or two so this is going be annoying even for me soon enough.

Do you know which config file to use for all 3 lenses (wide/main/macro)?
No idea but seems to work with all 3 cameras out the box, the 1x, 1.4x, 1.8x options switch between the lenses. Not sure how to make config files but trying to do things like record time lapse videos on the 1.8x option will crash the app.

How is astrophotography not working? For me it automatically turns on under night camera when the conditions are right.

Unfortunately, we didn't get anywhere. Nothing changes with this camera. Still, the video only works after restarting the phone, after a while the audio recording doesn't work.
Before anyone reports a working Gcam again, please verify that the camera can still record video and audio after using the phone for a while.
This device have amazing camera it must have g cam
Is there any g cam for this specific divice?
If not how much time it will take to launch?
I have searched alot but cannot find for this device
Also guide me where it will be available
The most recent stable release of MGC by BSG somewhat works (MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b). I'm using the com.android.mgc package, but com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng also seems to work (the two com.codeaura.* packages crash and I haven't bothered trying the com.samsung.* packages).
The issues I'm facing at the moment are:
- buffer lag
- modules 0.6 and 0.8 crash the app (and 1.7 is fixed focus so pretty useless)
- slow-mo video doesn't work
I haven't found a working Magisk module to fix the buffer lag yet, or any MGC configs for this device, so have blacklisted the non-functional modules for the time being.
I don't like the MIUI gallery, so uninstalled it with Debloater and replaced it with Google's "Gallery Go", which interfaces well. If you don't have a Google gallery app then the gallery icon will probably crash the app.
The performance is definitely better, particularly when it comes to the horrendous oversharpening of the default camera app (worst in low light). The colours are perhaps a little warm for my liking though.

Which stable gcam is good for that phone?
I've not found a good stable gcam for this phone yet - it has a Mediatek processor which not many gcam modders support. If you find one let us know!
Mediatek == no gcam
Found this mod of Gcam Quite good. Give it a try. I haven't faced a crash while taking photo and videos.
