I'm running these B12 , but the kernel it's driving me nuts it's not letting the phone go into deep sleep ... Any fix for that ? Can you guys share some battery stats
What's the difference between them?
I just flashed this version on my U since I thought it would be more suited, coming from the U beta program rather than G.
So far I have noticed out of the box this gcam camera port seems to work whereas on the B01 you need to install Nfounds patch to get even v4.4 of gcam to work.
Biggest negative so far is much the same as the Nougat rom on the U version and something I believe Nfound was trying to work on before he released the ROM; Thats localization issues, you only have a few languages to select from so that means for an app like google maps you can't use an english UK computer voice as the phone thinks you are always in the US. Same if you wanted to use a computer voice to pronounce street names in any language for that matter. Changing the text to speech values in the rom do not affect this as maps uses separate info now.
This has an impact outside of maps too, with some apps defaulting to you being in the US regardless of your current location. It would be lovely if other locales could be added just the same as the Euro B01 ROM.
Apart from that I can't see any differences really, the power manager looks more modern and up to date and there seems to be an option to customise mi-pop, can't remember if that was there before.
I still don't know what to make of this craze right now of HDR+, I've done several tests with the stock camera app and to me when I use HDR+ the image just looks the same without HDR. HDR however looks better. With Gcam and my limited testing its different though, HDR and HDR+ both look better than non-HDR.
I am a sceptic and my guess would be this, despite the apps having HDR+ they aren't working properly with it. Gcam when you used HDR+ or HDR+ enhanced is just taking a standard HDR picture and the stock camera is broken when using HDR+ and only takes a non-HDR picture whilst using standard HDR on the stock app does work. Maybe someone can help me with my findings?

Edit# also noticed that each time you first open Magisk it crashes, works second time each time though and passes safety net fine.
Edit2# Magisk v 16 just broke for me after a few reboots, v16.4 seems to work better.
Major issue so far is system isn't writable any more, had this issue a while back with Nougat and back then it was related to the bootsect.
Edit3#
Code:

does not make system writable either, just the same as Nougat with this problem.

HDR+ enhanced lowers shutter speed so as to capture more light. Downside is you have to stay still longer while taking the photo as it takes more time to capture it.
HDR+ is almost instant with fast shutter speed. Tradeback is lower quality, noticeable mainly in very low light.
I use HDR+ almost always and HDR+ enhanced in very low light situations. That's the only time where it makes a big difference IMO.
If you always want best quality just pick HDR+ enhanced.

@Victor13f perhaps put it in the OP
just installed this rom coming from a non stock non rooted phone.
Having 3 issues
-When the device is rebooted it goes in to an error message "Your device software can't be checked for corruption. please lock the bootloader.","error g+xo/ABH"/ and that it will "boot in 5 seconds if no button is pressed". If volume button is pressed it wil go in TWRP otherwise it will just boot up Android fine. Not sure what I did wrong.
-The onscreen navigation buttons keep appearing, i disabled them in settings -features, most of the time they are not there but they keep coming back
-Cannot find Daydream in the appstore, guessing it does not detect my device as daydream supported
thats are no issues. all is fine
open bootlader = corrupt message
buttons come back of you swipe up from bottom
no daydream support

The unlocked bootloader message is normal. Still haven't found a working method to remove it. Do not try any flashasble zips for different android versions as they can brick your phone.
The on screen buttons I've never had that problem it I'm running the EU version B01. Can't help you with that one.
Daydream doesn't run on betas therefore not showing on the play store or showing as unsupported. Download the APK from a reputable website and it should work flawlessly.
VR services was already installed, sideloaded daydream & daydream keyboard but as daydream starts up it says device is unsupported with a link and a close button.
I already found out about the /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml where you can add lines to make it think that it supports VR but it gets overwritten after reboot back to default.

Okay, I didn't know about that. I read somewhere that the only problem was downloading the APK. It could be something as easy to fix as the Magisk not passing safetynet. Let's see if anyone releases a fix.

Weird indeed as I saw that someone on the EU version did get daydream to work. I think I will try the EU version.
Just found out something new, the controls from my wired headset is acting up, it only activates voice control instead of controlling next/previous and stop/start music. Not tested yet if I can answer a phone call with those controls.
Is it possible to hide the carrier name in the status bar?

I have a Kate. I enabled the camera2 api in the build.prop. I'm using the latest stable MIUI.
However if I install the ported google camera app, it doesn't work. I found some versions which install and open without problems, but the "viewfinder" is just black, doesn't show anything. The UI is there (all the settings, the preview of the previous photo next to the shutter button etc) but can't see anything with the camera and can't take photos.
Any idea what's causing this? It does this on all version which install and open without a crash (although several ones do not install or crash at starting the app). I allowed all the permissions it requires at the first open, double checked its permissions aferwards in the Settings->Installed apps->Camera(the modded one)->Permissions and it has access to the camera. I removed MIUI battery restrictions from the app.
Anyone could help please?

Thanks to @2CanSan. He reported this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/themes/magisk-based-gcam-port-ar-sticker-t3730837 in the AospExtended ROM V5.2_V4.6 by @NFound.
I have been doing test with the GCAM magisk modules. There are 7 versions 15A to 15G. I started with G version but the configuration is fixed and I can meke the cam work. The F version is very configurable. I have done a lot of test and I have achieved the frontal cam HDR+ and Potrait work.
It would be great someone with AEX(Oreo) test this module and report the results.
Steps:
0. ROM Resurection remix Oreo(8.1). It can be found in the AospExtended ROM V5.2_V4.6 thread
1. Install Link v15F
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754461390
3.Open the Gcam(installed with the point 1 module) and follow this steps:
Note: back camera is working but hdr+ is not working, is like a normal camera apk.
3 in Settings/B-S-G Mod setting
- Select Model Pixel II.
- In Manual fixed black level offset select 63.
4. Exit from setting. Close the app and Remove the gcam from the tasks.
5. Open the camera (become black because the back camera is not working) and change to front camera.
6. In Settings/Advanced options enable HDR+ control.
7. Disable Movement, Disable flash and enable HDR+ improved. Test your results against the rom camera. Attached mines.
8. Test front potrait mode. Works almost fine..there are some arifacts.
Note. if you change the app setting and the app crashes and don't let you change the settings, remove app data and start the configuration from the beginning.
Tha app allows log so maybe our great co-phone developers can make the back camera work. It would be great!!!

In mode of magisk the S.O Crash and Reset in AEX
only Install in Recovery, You are warned ...!!!
It works even if those color bands did not come out in the photos, it would be excellent: D this I had seen before, there is a dedicated thread of the essensial Phone and version 7 is the only one that works with Axon 7, I had tested it in the OrderKriegger ROM but I confirm and confirm that it works with AEX.
The normal selfie camera works as well, but I feel that the portrait mode has more quality in the image ... the bug made it to lose. If you like selfies this is your app ... if the front camera as in my case you have it more ... better looking to improve the rear camera! : D
I have posted this in the magisk gcam module:
Hello all. Firts of all thanks for your sharing.
I have an Axon 7 with Resurrection Remix 6 (Android 8.1 based on LOS). I have flased the 15F version and selected Pixel II in "Model" and Auto in ·Config camer HDR+".
I have Front camera hdr+ working on front camera....Incredible improvement of quality in special at night!!
But back camera is not working (only work when I remove gcam data and "Model" is not selected).
I hava compared the logcat on front and back camera opening and the error in the back camera is this:
E Camera3-Device: Camera 0: sendRequestsBatch: RequestThread: Unable to submit capture request 2 to HAL device: Function not implemented (-38)
I know our device camera has not Google camera API 2 implemented, but why front is working and not back? Any advice?
Thanks!!
HDR+ is working but portrait has alot of blue and red artifacts on front camera back camera dosent work unless changing the model i hope something gets a workaround soon

You don't have HDR+ enhanced. Of course. I could also take pictures with the back camera, but HDR+ enhanced actually takes a bunch of pictures (an 8 shot burst i think) and puts a loading circle for half a second in the middle of the screen while it does. after that, when you open the gallery it should blend them all together. If you actually see a huge difference then it works.
Use the front one and choose HDR+ enhanced, you'll see what it does if you have it configured correctly

I've tried many roms with many camera apps but couldn't find one in which, portrait mode, hdr+ and slow motion(however slow motion isn't important for me at all) are working.
The best app that I found was the stock crdroid camera but neither does it have portrait mode plus it's hdr is very slow.
Can someone please provide me the best app that just works and has the features i mentioned above.

I think that your experience with the gcam mods might be determined by the camera sensor on your phone. I have a Samsung sensor, and most of the mods work reasonably well (sometimes you have to tweak the settings). I have stayed with Arnova8G2 v6. It does FC sometimes, but it mostly good. The settings can be tweaked for improvements over default settings ("Auto"), but not all of them work well. If you choose very high resolution HDR settings, the shutter will be very slow - but the picture will be very good. I don't really use the portrait mode, so I can't comment on that. Before Arnova8G2, I used Cstark27 mods - and they were excellent too. But I think Arnova has the edge.
In any case, you can have a look at this repository of gcam mods.

I don't know of a straightforward way of getting that information. You will need to search the forum for that.
The method that I use is not straightforward. It depends on initd functionality, and this is not generally available in ROMs. Basically, I run dmesg from an initd script, and redirect the output to a file. I then parse the file and look for any of these;
1. "ofilm_s5k3l8" (sensor=Samsung)
2. "ofilm_imx258" (sensor=Sony)
3. "qtech_ov13855" (sensor=Omnivision)
You can of course run dmesg at any time from a root terminal. However, you need to capture the output early enough (i.e., during the bootup process) or the values you are looking for would be long gone.
PS: I don't know much about Kernel Adiutor - but it may be that it can help you to run the command to capture the necessary information, even without initd functionality. Maybe someone else can speak to that.

PS: I don't know much about Kernel Adiutor - but it may be that it can help you to run the command to capture the necessary information, even without initd functionality. Maybe someone else can speak to that.

I'm on arnova v6 now and it's perfect. The only problem is that the front camera is mirroring/reversing the pictures I take which is incredibly annoying. Do you guys know of a system-wide or app limited tweak that can disable this? Or perhaps an alternative to this gcam which has that feature but also.has portrait mode and HDR+ working.

I am not sure what you mean by this. The selfies I take look the same, regardless of the camera appthat I am using (OnePlus5, miui, Arnova).

In these apps when you take a picture from the front camera, it is saved as mirrored as compared to the camera preview screen when you're positioning tot take the picture (for e.g a face looking at the left comes as right or vice versa). There is an option in the miui camera settings to disable this and also on most other camera apps. I want to disable this here too.

There was one in the stock miui app and also in the crdroid stock camera app. Well, anyways I'm just gonna try all of the gcam versions. I'll let you all know in this thread when I find it in case you also want it

I would certainly be interested!
[SIZE=+2][MOD][TESTING] Camera Sensor Fix and Google Camera[/SIZE]
Please test, share issues, questions and offer help!
What does this mod do?
It replaces the libmmcamera_imx318*.so and libmmcamera_imx268*.so files inside /system/vendor/lib/ with ones I edited.
It also adds a missing reference to libadsprpc.so in /system/etc/public.libraries.txt on custom firmwares.
WarningFrom my experience this mod can't really break anything. At most you'll have a non working camera. In this situation you need to either flash your ROM again or restore these files from a backup.
If you're on MIUI use the installer that doesn't change your public.libraries.txt file! Otherwise your device won't boot.
What does it fix?
It fixes a sensor and active array size mismatch issue in our devices. It makes a lot of google camera mods work (to some degree).
It seems to have also fixed the cropping bug everyone has been complaining about. Since the array size mismatch appears to be cropping the resolution down to the next working one.
Shut up already, I just want to take some great looking photos!
Go ahead and flash one of these zip files:
CFW: https://mega.nz/#!sfAERYxL!WdJO3u9sFwddB22echsp0-2AYsW1nVIynROo3rVjeqQ [v5] [14-05-2018]
MIUI: https://mega.nz/#!UexHDThY!O2CUQ1GVqG9CSAqfgMRXthKVq4vgPPq6-wbKflAGbio
Install the following gcam mod:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam_5.1.018_by_SerJo87_1.6RC2_test4c.apk
What's working:
HDR+ and HDR enchanced (Back and Front)
Portrait Mode (Back and Front)
Zero Shutter Lag
Motion Photos
Video Recording
Slow Motion (120 and 240 fps)
What's Not Working:
Nothing!
What isn't working very well:
Light flickering in 240fps slowmo.
Low exposure in Lens Blur. (The current fix is to set the Lens Blur resolution to the default 5MP)
Low exposure in Panorama.
Cropped 4k Recording (Hardware enabled EIS. Doesn't seem to be a bug.)
Missing toggle between HDR modes on the back camera (It takes photos with HDR+)
Recommendations
If you don't mind losing Motion Photos on the Back Camera turn on the Use Hexagon DSP option for slightly better performance and stability
Change the HDR+ parameters to Pixel 2017 stable.
Turn on Portrait ZSL mode
Change Base model inside Tuning back cam to Nexus 6P. (More detailed photos plus better and faster autofocus)
SerJo87 Google Camera's default tuning settings are tweaked for another smartphone's camera sensor. As a personal recommendation go into Tuning back cam and disable the Tuning master switch for it to use the default Base Model values. I've spent hours tweaking and have found the default Nexus 6P values to be the best ones.
Change the Lens blur megapixels to 5MP. (Fixes the low exposure issue)
Compatibility
Personally tested and fully working on the latest AospExtended.
Reported semi-working on the latest unofficial Resurrection Remix.
Reported working on the latest Lineage 15.1.
Reported working on crDroid.
Reported working in MIUI.
This mod is not needed on the latest Cardinal-AOSP. Psy_Man has included this fix.
Google Camera Mod Repository
Go grab a bunch of other google camera mods if you're feeling adventurous and hope to find a more compatible one.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I need testers, helpers, anything and everything is welcome!
Why I did it
Coming from a Redmi Note 4X, I was pretty letdown by the lack of a working google camera mod for my new Mi Note 2. I upgraded my phone in almost every aspect except I was taking far inferior quality photos. This drove me to find out what was going on with our device.
Getting technical
Going through several gcam mods I noticed a pattern. This error to be exact:
E/QCamera (510): <MCI><ERROR> update: 102: invalid input: active_array [5344, 4016], sensor size [5488, 4112]
For some reason, the active array size is smaller than the sensor size. Which cannot happen. This is what I fixed in the libmmcamera_imx318_primax.so file.
If you want a detailed explanation of what I changed in the file go over here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-2/development/fix-mi-note-2-camera-blobs-t3794443
The missing reference to libadsprpc.so prevents the google camera (and any other non system app) from accessing the Snapdragon 821's hexagon DSP. The reference is needed for apps to offload processing to the DSP and the google camera tries to use it for HDR background processing. It should make the app and the phone a lot more stable and responsive even when taking consecutive shots.
Changelog
[v3] In version 3 I started replacing both libmmcamera_imx318.so and libmmcamera_imx318_semco.so as well, with the same fixes. I'm assuming these files are for the different possible CMOS our phones can have (sony, semco or primax).
[v4] In Version 4 I also replace libmmcamera_imx268.so and libmmcamera_imx268_sunny.so. These Front Camera files were also fixed and no longer crash the app when switching to and from Portrait mode.
Very interesting! I'm flashing it in a moment!
Thank you for your work!
not booting up after install on miui 9.5.1.0
Keep up man. Wonderful job!
Very good progress!
I'm running the latest RR. Flashed and booted up no problem.
Just having issues with Urkill's camera:
It stops working when switching from mode to mode (modes work correctly)
Video on the back camera is wayyyy zoomed it. I think "Double stabilisation" is on. Note 2 is EIS by default, AFAIK, then, paired with the app's stabilization, it might be cropping out a lot of video real-estate. But this is just a guess.
Thanks for your work! Very happy with the progress!

Hmm maybe miui's public.libraries file has libs that are missing from the file I'm flashing. I'll confirm that tonight.
I also forgot to mount /vendor in my installer script and that may have caused some issues. I'll also upload a fixed version later tonight.
Sorry for any headaches.

Yeah. UriKill's mod is optimized for the redmi note 4. But is still the most stable of the bunch. I've noticed things like switching to the front camera and then switching to portrait mode will crash the camera but doing it the other way around works.
The note 2 does have built in image EIS and UriKill's mod enables Google camera's stabilization on 1080p. But shouldn't be doing it in 4k and yet the image gets cropped a lot more in 4k. I need to figure out what's going on.
New version of the script is up. I forgot to mount /vendor, so it wasn't really working unless you had manually mounted /vendor before flashing it.
Give it a try again if it didn't work last time.

Something just crossed my mind. Did you flash LazyFlasher on your miui rom?
Editing the /system partition makes miui roms unbootable unless you disable both dm-verify and forced encryption.

For me no. The app crashes in front and back camera with portrait mode
Camera app also crash on mine when choosing portrait mode.
Although if I switch very fast to front cam it works.
Video doesn't work though.
I am on Pixel Exprerience if that helps.
Otherwise awesome work, looks promising. ?

If you had another google camera mod installed usually just uninstalling doesn't delete all data. And some mods have the camera.enable_pd and camera.enable_pd_blur flags turned on in Developer Settings.
These need be to off. Check if that's the issue.
Front camera Portrait Mode also needs the camera.gouda.front flag to be on.

Should all these flags be available in developer settings? Because I don't have them except for camera.gouda.front.

Yes they should, at least in UriKill's port. It depends on the gcam mod you're using.
So can we flash it on miuipro 9.5.1.0 or will it bootloop?

It shouldn't bootloop. I don't think miuipro enforces dm-verifiy. And my mod doesn't change any important system files.
If it does bootloop, try installing LazyFlasher and see if that fixes it.
Either way, put the miuipro, kernel and magisk installation files in your internal storage before testing.
If you run into a bootloop, just reflash those 3 files, in the above order, and everything will be back as it was.
Testing is really appreciated! Thank you!

Features we normally deserve to get
Note: It should only be used on the Galaxy A71 (SM-A715F). Trying on other devices is at your own risk.
In case something doesn't work, remove the module. It will revert everything to it's normal state.
In case you bootloop (Which is extremely unlikely), boot into safe mode and remove the module.
If you stumble on problems, please open a new issue on GitHub. I was not able to test it on multiple devices, because I only own one.

You have to be rooted with Magisk.
Download the zip, and then flash the zip as a module in magisk.

If you mean in FHD - 60FPS mode, no. It's not possible to do that, the camera would crash if I'd allow that.

Google photos allows you to stabilize a video by editing it, but it crops it a little off the sides to do so. Just a quick tip for anyone that reads this lol

No, not yet. It would probably cause some unknown issues, if you try using it on Android R.
When my region (DBT) gets Android 11, I will update this. (So probably in ~1 week)
Edit: Done. Support for Android R added

You need to be properly rooted with Magisk to run it. If you don't know how to do that then I suggest you look up tutorials.
For some reason my camera app always crash when I have this installed on an A71 with Android 10. And yes, I have installed the correct version. You might want to look into that.
