Just wanted to ask a question to anybody who has upgraded to Android 12/OxygenOS 12. Is the ultrawide camera usable as an AUX camera in apps like GCam? Or is it still only accessible through the stock camera app like in Android 11. I would also really appreciate if somebody with Android 12 installs the "Camera2 API Probe" app from the play store and reports back with the results. Is the 8MP ultrawide camera listed in there?
Only 1 back and 1 front cameras are reported.

That's unfortunate, it's what I was fearing. Looks like the ultrawide camera still isn't accessible outside of the stock camera app.

Hey guys,
after a couple of days with the Z2 I really can't wait for Cyanogenmod to arrive. Although I'm very happy with the hardware, the ROM leaves a lot to desire.
One thing that does seem to be better with the stock ROM is the camera. Between the 4K video recording function and the various other functions that come with the stock camera I was wondering what prevents us from getting the stock camera on a 3rd party ROM? Wouldn't it be possible to extract everything from the stock ROM to another ROM?
If that's not possible, what good alternatives for a 3rd party camera are there? Any recommendations?
Camera FV-5

I just tried the cinema app they offer and sadly it is limited to 1080p and a max framerate of 30. These are really two features I'd like to keep. Still gonna try the camera app and compare it to the stock app. Will post the photos later tonight.

I don't know any good app for 4K video but Camera FV-5 is pretty good for stills...
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
Update
Now use it on any ROM
Camera App ported

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?

I guess is the camera processing is different on stock ROM from custom ROMs
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.

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.

Can I get a gcam mod with astrophotography working for realme 3.
I tried many gcam mods but in none of them astrophotography is working. Realme 3 is having mediatek Helio p60.
Can anyone suggest astrophotography working version

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.
Trying to rebuild my phone Googleless ... but can't figure out how to get camera apps (e.g. the one that comes with Lineage, OpenCamera, etc) to see anything but the 16MP camera... is there some kind of trick I'm missing?
Hi everyone,
I (ecological reason) bought a Fairphone 4.
It's really not what I expect from a phone so I am looking to update some apps.
The main issue I get is this one on Camera.
Fairphone 4 doesn't allow to record video from the wide angle camera... Yeah... WTF !!!
It seems to be described on the sepcs, but why ??? How a camera can be reduced to not recording video ?
My old LG G6 does it with wide camera.
Whatever, I tried to use other apps as Open Camera, HD Camera and others but I doesn't find a way to switch, even for picture mode, from the main camera to the wide one.
Do you have any idea of which app I may use ?
Thank you
buy that phone yesterday, have the same problem! By any chance, do you find some solution? Also i want to change from defalutOS to calyxos, but again - big issue inside camera.
