How to fix annoying crashing of Google camera in oreo ROMs -> used two ROMs
->Pixel experience 8.1
->NitrogenOS
Build - BSGs latest build of 14-1-2018 (also happens on older other versions by aronova and BSG)
Viewfinder lags and instantly crashes on when clicking a photo. Then it keeps on crashing for 2-3 times.
After that it becomes stable for sometime when used in one go. It doesn't happen in low light conditions
No such crashing issue was witnessed by me on nougat
Also how Can I get slo-mo on my MIDO
Moto camera used to give me nice slo mo videos on Nougat Paranoid
But it doesn't seem to work on Oreo
And the third thing . How to get MIUI camera on an oreo custom ROM.

You probably have an OmniVision sensor. Old drivers used in custom ROMs are very buggy in Oreo. That’s about to change soon.
For now, look here.

Your version seems quite stable to me
But photos are not clicking with flash on.
Here is the link to working night mode in gcam ->https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rynx27qOCbIk98toU8WhgRUiZNZ_QAzQ/view?usp=drivesdk
Try it and tell me that if it working correctly or not.
Hi, all whi were saying that it doesn't work, as it is made for 8.1 so it will not work on 9.0 and also on stable miui 10 their is some internal issue thats why it is not working, it is very buggy.
I think it's the same bsg apk...
Not even starting on Los 16.
Night sight not working.
Isn't working for me, Miui 10 8.10.25 eu
Starts but crashs immidiatly.
Working fine to me. 8.10.25 version

immediately crash on pixel experience
Night mode dont work in my poco f1, android 8.1.0, miui 10.0.4.0
Working great only slow motion is not working
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
app works but no difference between normal mode and night mode
Tried in low light and same exact result
Also the silly bug that makes the app lags or almost freeze after 2nd photo is still here
this night mode is not working, bsg has explained this before
Night sight takes picture but the quality is same as normal hdr+ mode. It doesn't open shutter for 4, 5 seconds as in pixel google camera. My device runs miui 10 on oreo 8.1
Does it even have the correct lib in it to enable night sight?

Please, clear some internal storage as your storage may be full

Actually i forgot to uninstall gcam in my second space of miui. Now its instaling perfectly
Freezes after 2nd pic !!
Night mode is not working
Otherwise it takes dramatically improved pics
So I'm really tearing my hair out over this.
A short while ago, Gcam stopped working, and the flashlight or torch option stopped working. Other people have reported this issue, with various fixes suggested. One was to flash the latest vendor firmware, which I did. Didn't work. Another one was to flash a Gcam fix by PixeL from the BSG Gcam port thread. Didn't work. I thought maybe it was an issue with Pixel Experience, so I flashed LOS. Now the camera worked, but only in certain modes and the flashlight/torch icon was still grayed out. Third party flashlight/torch apps still said it couldn't access the flashlight. I've even now tried a full, complete wipe of *everything* including internal storage and installed the latest MIUI beta and vendor from scratch. Nothing. Flashlight grayed out and camera only works in certain modes (if I go to slow-motion, for instance, it crashes and loses access to the camera).
This is so frustrating. Please, anyone, help. There are other people who have had this same issue, but all of them were able to find a way to fix it through flashing those fixes or whatever else. It's not working for me and it's making my experience with the phone really frustrating.
I Have been Facing Same Issue Since The Last Global Stable update
It Happens every once in a While But some reboots fixes the problem but since yesterday I Am not able to use the primary 12mp camera . I did reboot my device many time to get it working but nothing works now..... Did You Get Your Camera Working ?? Neither slow motion mode working nor portrait.... Slow motion mode instantly crashes the camera app and portrait mode gives the error of can't connect to camera.... If your Camera is working now please suggest the way to fix it it's really frustrating

For once download the fastboot rom of miui and flash it. FASTBOOT ROM. Can be both stable or beta but must be fastboot. Do not use twrp etc to flash.
USE MIFLASH TO FLASH THE FASTBOOT ROM.
Just use fastboot rom. If it still doesn't work, then it's probably a hardware issue.

What the actual f***?!
I did had the bug too, did reboot like 2 or 3 Max in row but 5 seems to make it or is it just luck?
Thanks a lot for the tips I didn't had camera or flash no more, seems to get better now.
Anyway I'm so disappointed from this device...
I am facing the same problem, dii those reboots but it didn't work, help me wit it
me too..how to solved?
I have similar problem with my Pixel Experience Plus ROM Android 11 on Zenfone Max Pro M2 X01BDA. The flashlight button is greyed out and says "camera in use"
No camera app came with the ROM so I installed GCam specified for X01BDA but anytime I open the app it says camera in use by another app
This problem is common with other ROMS I installed too ; Evolution X, Lineage OS 18.1
HELP!!
I'm so frustrated

Actually it's not a software related issue ....in my case i got the camera sensor replaced by the service center under warranty which fixed my problem since then it's working fine... it's a hardware related issue ...so if you're camera switched to secondary camera and crashes on slow motion and portrait mode and also greyed out flash then none of the flashing tricks will work.
Have a Nice Day

I had also same problem bro!!!
Is ur problem fixed??
Hi, few days ago I finally tried GCam and I have multiple feelings about it. There are cases where gcam pics rock but sometimes MIUI is much better. However thats not the topic. My problem is that sometimes when I switch camera apps (from GCam to MIUI) - it breaks the camera and the only solution is reboot. Simply both cameras say that there was a problem with a camera and both apps quit.
I did following:
1) rooted phone - successfuly
2) enabled camera2 api - success
3) installed few versions of gcam - all of them break the camera at any time
I luckily didnt have to move the vendor lib file as all cameras were working properly (back and front cameras)
So what did I do wrong? I am using latest developer (weekly) MIUI.
Thanks!!

Hello,
I recently got a mi a3.
Today the stock camera ''keeps stopping'' , I can still use open camera and Google camera redmi note 7 port by BSG. I installed the last update with 5 July security patch yesterday maybe it's linked.
Does anyone have the same problem ?
Does anyone know if we can use the wide angle camera with an other app ?
I don't have that kind of issues on latest security updates...stock camera work fine here...try clearing stock camera data and cache first...

I already tried that :/ Even with safe reboot it doesn't work.
I'm going to factory reset.

Yaaaaay It worked perfectly. Tnxxxxx
Just open settings -> search "Usage access" -> tap on the result -> choose "usage access" from list -> allow camera. DONE
(It's suspicious why camera needs usage access tho!!!!)
