Troubles with camera on Oreo Custom Roms - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The last weeks I've been trying lots of roms but every single one has the camera bug. I don't know if there is an existing one working correctly or it may be a common oreo bug. I have tried a Google Cam Fix module for Magisk, a EIS enabler for the Moto Cam through recovery (I'm using a Moto G4 Plus) and recently changing the build.prop file permissions.
Have anyone found a rom with a working camera? I mean, without a green background in the second taken photo and available to record?

Can't make two patches work simultaneously !!

I have Redmi Note 3(SD) 32Gigs.
So i have this whole new kinda problem.....i want to use custom nougat roms but there was this problem that arose everytime i installed them is that there was no option for switching to my rear camera in any camera app. So i installed the Agni N Kernel 's camera lib patch which required a custom kernel to work(Radon in my case), and then the camera was working like a charm.
But also i have Goodix fingerprint sensor, so i have to use a patch for them too to make them work in these roms.
So the problem is
This Camera fix works perfectly fine, but this seems to disable my fingerprint sensor.
And when i make the fingerprint work(by patching the file again), the camera gets back to what it was earlier, i mean without the rear camera option.
These both features are not working at the same time for me.
Please help me with this :crying:
Thanks in advance

Please Help !!! In search of a working google camera mod working on official eui 19s.

Hey,
i just flashed official EUI indian 19s on my Le max 2 due to battery issue with all oreo custom roms.
i enabled Camera2api using build prop editor.
But now when i am trying to install any developer's google cam mod i am facing multiple problems-
1. Many mods doesn't support android 6.0.1 because of that every time when i am trying to install a modded apk i get this error - THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHILE PARSING THE PACKAGE. ( Screenshot attached)
2. After searching for some time i am able to find some modded apk which does install but they r also not working properly - some are giving bizarre pinkish images and some r dont even have basic HDR+ function in them. ( Screenshot attached)
Could you guys please suggest me which google camera mod supports indian 19s and work properly and have basic function like HDR+ and portrait mode working .
Thanks in advance.

Heyyo, you'll need a version of Google Camera Mod for Marshmallow and you will also need to force Camera API v2 as EUI ROM only uses camera API v1.
This guide tells you how to do that and it is the same on X2 with EUI ROM. I the raw mode stuff probably won't work as that is MediaTek specific parts for this guide.
https://appuals.com/enable-camera2-api-shoot-raw-android/
On here you will need to search for an Android 6.0 Marshmallow version of Google Camera Mod.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Third option is to switch to ChrisBalGreece versions of Indian EUI ROM and I think he even has one based on Indian 21s as I believe all his EUI ROM mods come with Camera API v2 and Google Camera Mod included.
Good luck!

Thanks For Your Reply.
I already enabled Camera2Api using that same method and i cheeked it using Manual Camera Compatibility app from plus store and Camera2Api is working super fine after it.
The real issue is i am unable to find a modded version of Gcam which have basic function working properly android marshmallow 6.0.1 - some are giving bizarre pinkish images and some r dont even have basic HDR+ function in them.
Because approximately every modded app work only with oreo or nogut.
Is anyone out there who is using a modded Gcam which have basic function working properly Like HDR+ and Portrait Mode on eui 19s Indian,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REPLY.
Thanks In Advance

Most mods are based on Google Camera 5. Thus, they won't install on Marshmallow, because original Google Camera 5 requires Android 7.1.
Afaik latest Google Camera suitable for Android 6 is version 3.2 and it uses only camera api v1.
There may be som mods with decreased min API to allow install newer Google Camera versions on older Android, but I doubt it's going to work.
Btw. portatit mode is not possible on Android 6.0. It requires Android 8.

Pocophone f1 google pixel 3 camera lagging/bugged

Hello to everyone
Im having huge problems with google pixel 3 camera apk.whenever i open the app,its working perfectly for like 2 secs after which camera starts freezing (freezes for 5 secs then unfreezes for a split second and freezes again for 5 secs and so on) it happens in camera/portrait/night sight modes,while its working good in "video/panaorama/slow mo/photosphere" modes....
Has anyone encountered this kinda of lagging/bugging?
i have downloaded the camera apk from many sites,its always the same thing (freezing)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I flashed this https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3857076/post78127106 for Pixel Experience ROM. It uses Google Camera as well, so it might works for you.

Would it work with "lineage os"? Since im really fond of that ROM.
If you are rooted, you have to download the TWRP fix and flash it via your custom recovery. (link below)
If you are non-rooted, you have to follow the given settings from the b-s-g google camera port thread. (link below)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/themes/b-s-g-google-camera-port-developed-mi-8-t3843130
don't choose "Config - BSG PixelPlusNS HDR+". in the settings
I can confirm that Valdamjong`s fix works.I just did the backup of my files and went yolo with the file he provided me with (installed it via TWRP) everything is great and camera is working perfectly,needless to say im on lineageos (v16 currently),I have not tried the other 2 options mentioned but i believe those would work too. (if anyone has this problem like i had it,i suggest trying other 2 options just to see if those are working)
thank you all for you time!
Yesterday i too faced the same issue and i uninstalled the GCam. As per the thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/themes/b-s-g-google-camera-port-developed-mi-8-t3843130 "You need to be on the MIUI Stable 10.2.2 or higher for this version to work". Today i got MIUI Stable 10.2.2 update on my POCO and now i m going to check whether the freezing issue is gone or not

GCAM For Pixel Experience Redmi 5 plus.

Hi, i am currently using pixels experience custom rom on my device but the current pre installed gcam doesn't had night scene, and sometimes its lagging.. Does anyone have a stable version for gcam selfie and night scene.
Thanks
Just get the last file, which works best for android 9.x pie variants. I'm running it on Syberia OS, and the only issues I have is selfie in portrait mode doesn't work.

After a lot of testing following is working for me (using HavocOS without Gapps):
- flash attached camera_2api.zip (it's from the note 5 plus forum, but works for me)
- flash the attached camera (it's a Magisk module, so Magisk must be flashed too)
As always: making a backup is recommended. Hope I could help.

is this the miui camera or gcam? and also what version?

I think it's Mui Camera. But the package name is "com.android.camera". Version code is 2.0. I attached a screenshot.
I recommend using GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash for Front Camera on any rom!
And I also recommend bsg-test-8.1 then disabling the location, shutter sound and enabling
the HDR+ Enhanced to prevent crashing then installing MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun
and configuring it properly If you did that without crashes (Which I have done many times!) then update
to MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.4a_TlnNeun and done now you have to configure It yourself properly
else It'll be pretty crappy!
If you're dumb and cant understand this then simply flash the MIUI Camera above my post
I recommend xtreme v2s config, and 7hdr frames for day 36 for night and fully working night sight
with good auto-focus in low-light and sharpness etc.

Mi8lite gcam android10

Hi! i just installed 9.12.5 eu rom with android 10 update on my mi 8 lite and i have been having problems with stock camera and *gcam. They don't work anymore even like messenger's camera or whatsapp's.
After i flashed 9.12.5 and re-installed magisk like usual ( it has the HAL3 and camera2api enabler modules ) the cameras stopped working so i re-flashed 9it without installing magisk and the stock camera and app's camera work but obviously not gcam, in the last version with android pie I didn't have this problem . Does this come from the fact that in this new rom the mi 8 lite has been updated to android 10? . Do you have any suggestions so that i can use stock camera/app's camera and use magisk too? Thank you very much.
9.12.6 has been released this morning, it's possible that they have fixed it:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261654252
Even now , If i try to enable the camera2api enabler module on magisk , the stock camera won't function , any advise?
I edited the build.prop file manually (there's an app for editing it in Play Store), my stock camera works, but I couldn't find a working gcam app. So, uninstall all magisk modules and do manual editing. I'm on xiaomi.eu latest version.
Good day! Everything listed above does the job for Android 9 / MIUI 11, but how about Android Q / MIUI 11? Recent update with MIUI 11 based on Android 10 left me sad and broken because now I can't enable Camera2 Api same way I did for Android Pie.
Yes, you can do it the manual way, as I said above. Cam 2 probe will give you Level 3 in green color. I have yet to find a working gcam port for this phone...

Yeah, I got the Level 3 and yes, there's no gcam support, each one prefer to shutdown immediately... Seems like we need to wait for solution.

I did it the same way, (used the build.prop editor from Play Store) but in vain. I couldn't get gcam working. There may be other settings which I couldn't find online, I'm just waiting to see what will come
i'm with you guys... i can't find a functionaly gcam in android Q, miui 11, on mi xiaomi mi 8 lite
I hoppe any devs make a port soon
The file uploaded will give you camera2 support & fix the front camera on miui Q. It works just like the old ones did. The problem is there's something going on with the way the new system is seeing the back camera using camera2. You can test this by installing Open Camera and choosing camera2 in the settings (it'll crash) and apps like Footej won't even open. I believe this is also why all the Gcams are crashing as well. Its getting a lot of IMGLIB mm-camera errors in the log complaining about cam stream type depth not being set & other module depth type errors before the crashes.
Anyone know what this is referring to?

Yeah, they all crash on main rear camera (imx363) activation. Its some camera2/lib problem where 3rd party camera apps using camera2 (including Gcam) aren't seeing that its there for some reason. Here's a crash log if anyone can understand log speak.
Would there be a fix to make the back camera work in the future?

Most likely yes, but not in the next future for sure.Because MI 8 LITE has a bad community support and it will take a while since someone smart enought will find a fix
