Google Camera 5.1.0.18 with working video and portrait mode - LeEco Le 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods

After trying many Google Camera APKs and configurations I finally found one that's stable and has working video. Keep in mind that I only tested it on AEX 5.8 Oreo
Tutorial:
1. Download & install MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R4X_v.5.1.19-fu24_1.3.apk - you can find it on celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera
2. Go to settings > Developer Settings and enable camcorder.h265. This fixes video.
3. Go to settings > Advanced settings > Main camera and change Base model to Pixel XL. This fixes long capture times (at least for me)
4. Go to settings > Advanced settings > Experimental settings and set Resampling to Enabled (This increases photo quality) and Use Hexagon DSP to Yes (This increases stability)
5. [FOR GOOGLE PHOTOS USERS] Go to settings > Advanced settings > Photo view setting and tick Use Google Photo
6. [If your front camera takes greenish photots only] Go to settings > Advanced settings > Front-camera > Manual fixed black level offset > set to 14.00
6. Restart app completely.
Enjoy!

Crashes on AOSP 8.1.0. Have you tried it on other roms? I tried alot of different Gcams from www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ but every one is crashing for me. Also i cannot find settings > Developer Settings and enable camcorder.h265. in my settings.

On aex 5.8 crashes too, maybe we got different camera sensor ?

But it's not fully function does it?
As i choose portrait or video mode on the back camera the app crashes. I must choose the front camera first and through there i must turn it arround to the back camera avoiding the crash.
In all version that i've tried i also noticed there's no burst mode. I must take a picture at the time and wait for that to finish processing HDR+ :'(
Video 60fps is working on both front/rear camera without a problem but like i said if you want to use video on rear camera you must shortcut it through front camera first or the app will crash.
Other thing: if you want to use HDR+ on front camera you must choose portrait anyways or you'll not getting HDR+ effect (it saves 2 photos so you must choose the non-portrait one).
Do you know if here's no way on that version to disable zoom on portrait?

For me, when I open sometime it crashes but I don't need to open front camera first.
Yeah, front HDR+ not working in normal mode, only portrait mode.
I've tested a lot of Gcam versions and there is one where I need to open front camera first then I can use rear.
Well, I think the different version of ROM has a different effect on the Gcam, as well as Kernel.
I'll upload my setting later I got home

[RR-O-6] HDR+ in only working on selfie cam(by now). Only Oreo 8.1. Check pictures!!

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

[MOD][TESTING] Camera Sensor Fix and Google Camera

[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.
Warning​From 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.

Editing the /system partition makes miui roms unbootable unless you disable both dm-verify and forced encryption.

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.

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!

Working GCAM for Snapdragon w/ Telephoto!

UPDATE: I haven't really followed this thread since I don't have an S10 anymore, however, just a heads up telephoto now works with the Snapdragon S10/Note 10 series and Gcam! Gcam can be downloaded in my S20 thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam-working-with-s20-ultra-telephoto.4200277/
Now with Wide Angle and Telephoto Camera Support!
All credits go to Arnova8G2, CStark, Fizwiz, Xenius9, Urnyx05
Benefits:
Gcam offers less aggressive noise reduction and oversharpening. Under daylight things might not look too different but it's a lot better for low light, especially for finer details like carpets, hair, fabric texture. I've attached some comparison shots. The file names will indicate which camera was used for the pictures.
Regarding 6.1 vs 6.2 vs 7.0 vs 7.2:
6.1 could be more stable and allows you to save profiles that you can swap between (for instance if you have a setting for indoor and outdoor). However 6.2 is faster, possibly better processing algorithms. 7.0 is faster still and even better algorithms. 7.0+ also ads astrophotography option which is night sight but even better! 7.2 works on Android 10 only and should improve upon 7.0.
GCAM 6.1.0.021 Base

Did you guys apply the XML file after copying it to where it needs to go? Detailed instructions here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
Followed the instructions and it seems to be working fine so far on my S10, although I haven't done extensive testing.
How do you switch between apertures? It doesn't seem obvious to me.
Any reason this wouldn't also work on a Snapdragon S10+? Thinking about giving it a try now...

Installed and verified basic functionality on my S10+. Took a couple of night sight pictures and they turned out good. Will do some more testing. Thanks for the information.
Update: I'm seeing issues when switching between different modes. For example, the picture freezes whenever I go into portrait mode. Other modes work sometimes, but display a black screen other times. The app doesn't freeze or crash, and if I switch to another mode then switch back, sometimes that resolves it.

To fix portrait mode freezing, go to Settings (top section, mod settings) -> Advanced -> FIX -> Viewfinder Format. Then select YUV-420_888 (default).
Very good. The viewfinder fix seems to have worked for portrait mode, and helped with all other modes as well.
Any other settings changes you would recommend making to optimize performance?
Which photo is from the stock cam vs gcam?
I took a few pics just now outside with default camera and then with Google night sight. Google cam pics definitely a little brighter, and much clearer, with more detail than the default cam. Quite pleased.
Got it to work thank you. Had to restart my phone, now everything works.
Snapdragon?
Yes i have the s10+ with snap

Night sight is phenomenal. To the point where I use it almost exclusively even in daylight on my Pixel 3. Can;t wait for S10 with gcam port.
How is the shutter delay using the gcam port on the S10? On LGs where I have used gcam, the ZSL would not work and that was the only downside.
When i took picture with night sight.my phone restart it sekf.
I envy you guys. I have got the exynos version and stock cam quality is ****. Miss my pixel 3.

I will check the shutter delay today when I have time. I've only used it for night shots as of now since that was the primary advantage it has over the samsung cam software. I know as of right now, this version doesn't support the wide angle lens, which means it's necessary to keep both sets of software. HOwever, I read in another thread (here or on reddit) that there is now a gcam version that works with JUST the wide angle lens. So hopefully they can combine these and give us a fully working port in the near future.
thanks i will try soon.
On the snap my stock cam sucks also. This google cam and open camera destroy it

Gcam 6.2 moded version

Hi to all,
I faind that moded Gcam last version 6.2 from bulkin043, web site:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bulkin043/#apk907
Is half way working. Video, timelaps , panorama is working in Mate 20 Pro. Other things just stopped work. I think that someone who know can fix this and make this application works very well.
On this web site you can faind moded Gcam for LG V40 or V30 so that means you can use all 3 camera lense. But still someone need to fix this application.
I would like if someone can contact bulkin043 for help. Or just make the petition if we need it. Or whether bit it will be fantastic of we have Gcam on this very strong camera hardware.
P. S. When you open the camera turn off "motion" and then swipe to the video or oanorama or more otions.

Strange I installed and could only get lens blur working the rest just freeze then fade to black
i have got this version works for back camera photos but you to use these settings and steps:
1. Download and install the following version (6.1.021) https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk
2. hold press on the camera app icon, from the pop up choose take a selfie ( the app may crash in the first time)
3. Allow for all permissions.
4. swipe for more, settings > advanced (the first one) > Base > Config > Pixel2017 HW Zsl Hdr Intent(need YUV) also 2018 is working
5. Go back for the in the same advanced menu and go to FIX > Viewfinder Format > YUV_420_888 (Default)
6. Optionally turn on HDR+ Control ( in settings > Advanced (the last option in the main menu)
Notes:
- the app will crash everytime you go settings after you apply previous settings.
- the app will crash when you switch between front & rear camera ( if you need to take a selfie just hold press on the app icon and choose take a selfie )
Those settings worked for me but i am not sure if google's HDR+ is working

Thanks for sharing, but all of them are quite unstable and besides HDR (I didnt see difference from normal mode) no special mode is working. As for normal camera mode I found postprocessing (PP) from huawei camera better->more natural with all 3 cameras working with Night mode ofcourse and STABLE!!! On the other hand Gcam on samsung S7e (I sell it yesterday) produced much better PP and functionality with HDR too. But is there any need for Gcam in these days when huawei is so good? Just my thought...
edit: I tested 3rd Gcam 6.2 side by side Stock camera (pro mode) and I have to say, in good light stock camera destroyed Gcam but when it comes to lowlight, gcam won every single shootout (with NO night mode) Ive got amazing noise free shots with good detail

Found perfectly running Pixel camera for Zenfone 5z

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ppg_Lz1qaYRxLfLDXqmbVVy-xshMQ2sk/view?usp=drivesdk
Recommended settings
1) Go - about - enable - advance settings - disable Google photo
Then you can disable the advanced settings.
2) select nexus 2 as front camera
3) In settings, you can enable motion shots like pixel devices... it will show a normal photo in gallery appp but from Google photo app, you can select a best shot from the motion shot
What's different from other gcams? Latest version of BSG is also working without any issues. Is picture quality better than BSG?

Can you share the link... This is a first gcam which is working perfectly on my Zenfone 5z
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.2.030_MI9SE_V0d.apk
Thank you for this version. This is the first gcam version 6.2 something that I've tried that doesn't have any focus hunting issues in video. The other versions I've tried had focus hunting and the auto focus was very slow. Somehow they affected the stock cameras video foucs too. This version doesn't. Much appreciated
