Camera2 API on the Samsung J7 (2017) - Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers

Hi!
I'm interested in more advanced video recording apps like "Filmic Pro" which need a certain level of Camera2 API support to function properly. Could someone with a J7 (2017) please run this free app "Camera2 probe" and tell me if the hardware level support category comes out as "Level 3", "Full", "Limited" or "Legacy", maybe post a screen grab?
Cheers!

[REQUEST] Google Pixel 2 Camera Port

Hey @Arnova8G2
I installed the pixel camera port ( GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4 ) on my oneplus 2, but it force closes. I also tried GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3, it opens but gets stuck with a camera icon in middle with black screen.
I'm using los 15.1.
I have attached log and screenshot. It would be great if you could look into this.
Thank You
You can make a screenshot of the app camera2probe
I look at your logcat (but have to wait, a lot of logcat to read). Thank you

Go to this link and install "- v4.0: MGCB_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0_AllinOne_Full_Manual ".
Do not make changes to the settings. Use as it is. If force close happens, go to "About App" and clear the data.

Hi I m using OP2 and I downloaded this app and install it. But it never opens. Every time I try to open the app it stucks in a black screen and in the middle the camera icon. How can I run this in my OP2 please help.
Hey @Arnova8G2,
I also tried this apk
MGC_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_LOS-15.1_A7.0-8.1_MI5S_v2a
It opens and I can click pictures, but when I select portrait mode, it stucks with portrait icon with black screen. I have attached the log and screenshot.
Posting it here so that it helps in making it easier for further development.
Thank You

CAMERA2API bug

hello everyone,i have edited build.prop to add some new string in mi note 2
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
i think it will activated camera2API on this device.
but this bug comes,whatsapp and instagram camera always zoom everytime i took some photos with those app.
any suggestion how i can handle this bug?
thanks before.
first post
In main camera zoom not is a bug, this is a feature. Really! That's work EIS, it's normal.
@trafopowielacz
I'm preety sure he is not talking about EIS.
Reffering to your question , that behaviour is normal for 3rd party apps .
Why? Because they don't support Camera2api .
You could've searched around here because this subject have already been discussed.
Disable Camera2api is you really need to take pictures with instagram or whatsapp.
Apps like GoogleCamera 3.2+ and OpenCamera support Camera2api.
(In OpenCamera you need to enable it in settings , first page)
There is no workaround for this , sorry.
Hope this helps .
While "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" exists some apps can show strange behavior. To prevent this try to add "camera.HAL1.packagelist=***" Instead of *** use package names of apps with strange camera behavior. Like this "camera.HAL1.packagelist=com.instagram.android,com.neaststudios.procapture"

Hey guys am I the only that when edits the build.prop only juntos from legacy to limited? I can't simply make this thing work xD

Bacon camera if on camera api 1.1 legacy

[FIX] QR scanner bug in Pie ROMs

Hey everyone, you already know about the QR scanner bug in Pie. Well, I've discovered it's cause. And the cause is HAL3 (Camera2API). After disabling ? 2API, the WhatsApp can scan QR codes easily. This means either HAL3 is not properly supported by this device or lacks some permissions. For proof, I've attached a screenshot.
So, devs had added an "In-app focus fix" switch that's based on this theory. Turning ON the switch (disables HAL3) help to scan QR codes.:laugh:
By default, it is disabled so that gcam can work.
{This toggle is present in some PIE ROMs in Settings>System>LeEco Extras}. THANKS TO DEVS for this switch.
It's a very good switch if used wisely.
If this helped, then please tap the Thanks button
please, can you tell me how I can do this?

Any ideas about how it could be solved? And is this bug present on other HAL3 enabled pie ROMs on other phones?
Cause is discovered, so chances for fixing it are increased now!!

On pie ROMs, HAL3 is enabled by default. To disable, root your phone, download build.prop editor from play store. Grant it root permission. Search "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" change the value from 1 to 0. Reboot and check, it should scan. But gcam and sd cam will not work after disabling it. You need to download any 3rd party cam and manage with less picture quality.
Wow you're right! It indeed fixed the issue . Gcam is still working for me at full quality though!

I tried footej but it does not work. Then I install Open Camera it totally works! Try it! By the way, Wechat camera in scanning and shooting not work after disabled the camera2API
Q. I'm experiencing force close in GCam and in the stock camera in latest updates of some pie ROMs like AEX, arrow, havoc etc. How to fix it?
A. It's not an Rom bug. Turn OFF the "In-app focus fix" in Settings > System > LeEco Extras.
Q. Ok, then what's the use of "In app focus fix"?
A. Read the first post of this thread carefully.
