CM 14.1 | NucleaRom | Google Cardboard - Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I'm using Google Cardboard quite a bit. In the latest NucleaRom (Nougat 7.1/CM 14.1) I have come across the following:
-- DPI is set to 420 via Nuclear Tweaks
-- in Google Cardboard, the view area is somehow scaled down to a fraction (full screen before, now it's about 1/4 of the screen) of what it used to be? => see as well the vid of somebody else with the same problem: http://youtu.be/UPJoNlolF0o
Anybody else had that problem and could fix it?
Many thanks in advance for any help/hints/suggestions

You must set it to 400 DPI.

Thank you for the answer, but that didn't do anything.
Can you please confirm, that it works on your device with NucleaRom 7.1?
Thank you

I had that same issue with cm14 and that seemed to do the trick, I hadn't tried cardboard yet so I didn't know about this issue and exactly the same has happened to me with Nuclear 7.1 . After using an app called vr calibration for cardboard and trying to calibrate it seemed that increasing screen to lens distance seemed to do the trick. Try it out and tell me how it works for you.
Edit: After editing the profile and trying it out with another app it is still the same so I guess it will stay like that whatsoever. We'll have to tell to Nuclear devs.

Well, in the mean time I went to https://vr.google.com/cardboard/viewerprofilegenerator/ and created my own 'viewer' by exaggerating the "Screen to lens distance" and the "Inter-lens distance". => Trial and Error

you want to use Google Chrome browser. Then, once called the above mentioned URL, you can "Save or Load Viewer Parameters". There you can paste following URL: http://google.com/cardboard/cfg?p=C...CAABIQgAASEIAAEhCWAE1KVwPPToICtcjPArXIzxQAGAA
Those are settings for the "Homido Mini" device (please keep in mind theyr'e counter compensating the screen resolution).
After pasting the settings URL, you need to click on the blue "Generate Profile" button. This will give you a DataMatix, that you need to scan via Cardboard as a new viewer (the same for Street View, btw.)
best regards

You can't just solve it by wiping app data. Whatsapp does not support tablets!
I think you have a market fingerprint issue. Because Illusion is a new ROM port by Kayant, he might not have changed the original market fingerprint. Since illusion uses Paranoid's LCD density settings, meaning that you can set a phone/tablet/phablet ppi, you should try changing it back to phone dpi if you can.

This error is quite common in the new CM10 and CM10.1. It can be fixed that way. Even with tablet UI and dpi i could make whatsapp work.
dunno, whatsapp works for me on all the CM10 and CM10 based ROMs I've tried. I think the fingerprint is the only logical explanation, if the add data wipe doesn't work.

Google Camera

Anyone have a download link for that? I have reinstalled it on over dozen ROMs with titanium, but not an option here. I am assuming app.apk's can be installed here.
For some reason, Google doesn't make it available here on play store.
Nevermind - got latest apk

Thanks. The difficulty was finding a site that would not try to install a download app and also some very intrusive cookies (not unlike those that XDA tries every time I set them up on another computer).

Google Camera problems.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right section for this kind of questions.
Anyway, I'd like to know if someone can help me.
I'm absolutely not able of getting Google Camera to work.
I tried different version, I think the problem is caused by the fact that our phone has a SD801...
But I have no idea how to solve it.
Camera just crash as soon as I open it.
Thanks to everyone!
Lorenzo Benevento.
Not just coz soc is sd801
It is arm based
Google camera is nowadays built for arm64 architecture
And which version would work?
If there is one obviously!

The versions which came with nexus 6 would work
That will be around v3
I tried but I can't downgrade. How come? It shows "corrupted package".
i use Google camera 2.7 in my zuk z1
I downgraded to 2.7.010, It works and connect to camera but I'm unable of taking videos!
It start recording but when I tap on the stop icon it freezes and the only thing that I can do is to reboot the phone. Or close the app (but camera would be busy, so no tourch for example or no other photos until the next reboot).
magnet1215 are you able to take videos?

Try this snapdragon camera. It will crash on first pic taken, first video taken, first slow or fast motion video. But honestly I tried lot of camera apps and this is best one of all.

Wait for the open 7. Sad but true. I tried everything that you can imagine. The only way that I fixed this, was installing the oneplus camera mod. The problem seems to be with the new camera app or camera service. The stranger thing is that I only saw you and another guy complayning about this.
Did you both clean installed Open Beta 6? Cleaned cache?
Sorry if this seems trivial but to have the same common ground it would be helpful to know this.

Sure. The problem is with latest camera app (2.5.25). I uninstalled it and installed the 2.5.23 from open 5, and everything is working now. The problem with 2.5.25, is when you take a picture and see it from the gallery shortcut on camera app, the post processing will not working, but if you go into gallery app, the post processing will be realized.

I am asking because i am using OB6 and i cant reproduce this misbehavior. It is working as it should and if this would be a reproducible problem, the OP forums would be filled with this i guess.

But, here is not working as should be. If I take a picture and try to see it directly from gallery shortcut on camera app, the pictures will be with much noise and hdr and hq will not be applied. But, if I go into gallery, the pictures will looks great and hdr and hq will be applied.

Does anyone have a working GCAM on 10.0 for the 6T?

I've been looking for a couple of weeks now and have used quite a few different apks but they all have the same problem.
After taking a picture, the picture shows up in the thumbnail in the bottom right but will not appear in the gallery or Google photos.
They seem to be corrupting when processing HDR and either show up as plain grey or delete themselves.
I've tried clear App Data / Storage as well as different configs but no success
Any working APKS would be appreciated!

I'm starting to think its not a problem with GCAM, rather than with my phone. Not 100% sure what exactly it could be since the stock camera still works fine but yeah.
Maybe use a file explorer and make sure all the "old" data from other gcams is gone. Then start fresh,if you know what I'm saying.
Uninstall any other Gcams.

Glad you been actively trying solutions, like hunting up old files and deleting them.
Try switching HDR through its different On-Off-+ options and see if that matters.
In the settings, make sure camera API 2 is enabled.
Also erase camera data so you can tell which gallery to use, else erase the defaults for your galleries and start cam to see which gallery it uses.
Try all the different gcams one at a time from the celsoazevedo list of arnovag2's cams starting with the newest:

Yes indeed I do. In fact I wrote an update on this subject which I'll post on majzel.blogspot.com on Monday December 23rd. (My original article on gcam was https://majzel.blogspot.com/2019/11/what-i-learnt-about-google-camera.html )
In short XDA seems not to be the forum for Gcam porting. You have to join Telegram and then select the channel relating to 6 and 6T porting.
From there is a set of ports with results and recommendations. To cut to the chase right now, as of dec 20 2019, time 00.01, assuming that you raised your Oneplus 6T to Oxygen OS 10.3.0 (use Oxygen Updater from Play store and install stable not beta)
THEN I'd recommend
use MJL Minikon 2.3-fix3
or Simplecam 4.0.191030.1140-7.0.009
Of course nothing will work right unless you also download and then load your .xml configuration file. Right now on Simplecam I'm using Frctl and on MJL I am using Leica
I've experienced exactly the issues that plague you i.e. takes a photo, but somewhere in processing it hangs, or is not saved. These and other peculiarities are well reported on Telegram

Thanks for this, I'm not actually on Telegram and hadn't used it yet, I'll give it a try and see if there is any more info there.
I am on 10.3.0 and tried your suggested combinations but no luck. SimpleCam actually crashes when I turn off HDR and forces me to clear the storage before I can even open it again.
Once again, thanks for the help guys!

What @amouses seems the best idea.
Find a way to get Telegram and you'll find the in-depth knowledge.
You sure are determined--trying EVERY camera in the list!
Let's get back to some basics--are you running stock?
If not maybe you gotta drop back and see if a camera works.
Got any other mods going on--gotta dump them all temporarily.
At this point, I say back up your important personal data--photos, etc., factory reset your phone, flash latest stock, start off completely fresh, don't install apps or anything until you've tested the most likely working camera.
Take it from there.
Good luck.
Season's Greetings.

Yeah, I was sure one would work, unfortunately not.
I'm running everything stock, with 0 mods on anything, OOS has come far enough for me not to need to root anymore to be honest.
I've been having a few minor bugs and a little lag in chrome once in a while so maybe the upgrade from 9 to 10 didn't go cleanly so I'll try and reset, flash stock etc. When I have some time
