For those who can't wait for custom roms and kernels

Hello guys and girls.
I have a great plans (not only me hopefully ) to make this device even better by customizing kernel.
But in order to do so we need kernel sources, please write something here , so maybe ,just maybe it will somehow speedup the process.
Short version: If you want custom roms and kernels, then let's try to keep this topic on top.
Thank you guy for you support.

Done...
But to tell you the truth doubt it's gonna happen soon. They don't even bother to address that wifi issue...
You may have better chance contacting those china guys releasing CM, RR etc... I know at least 3 guys on china miui forum that must have the kernel source unofficialy. CM13 and RR supports exfat and have kernel optimizations.

Video recording and 3G (4g also) is working fine on RR 5.7.1 for me.

I hope you don't if I ask some questions to you (it'd be be good if you can answer them)
1. Is Video Recording working in Stock Camera, or 3rd party App? If 3rd Party please give the name
2. Is it working without any tricks (by default)
3. Which Country are you in? (asking for 4G)
Thanks.

You can run the Miui 8 Global rom on your Helium. I'm running it on mine. All you have to do is fastboot flash the boot.img and cust.img from the Helium Chinese Developer rom, and the system.img from the Global Developer rom. Then boot into twrp and flash SuperSU 2.76. The Global rom is much better than the Chinese rom.

Video recording does not work on RR 5.71.

This video recording thing is weird. From what I read looks like it works for some people with some CM/RR on hydrogen only... I am pretty sure it worked on mine with the third edition CM(development abandoned), then after a while it didn't.

Camera2 API Settings for Lenovo Zuk Z1

Hi, I'm a Photography enthusiast and always in the look out for better Camera apps and photo editing softwares. Recently, I downloaded several famous apps that boasted providing manual controls. When I installed them, found that none of them worked. After a little search I found that there is some Camera2 settings that need to be implemented by manufacturer and that these should be in place for most of the phones that are above Android Lollipop version.
Does Zuk Z1, which is now on Nougat version support this Camera2 ? If yes, How to enable them? I'm on Official Nougat ZUI v2.5.358ST version.
If this settings cannot be enabled, are there Camera apps out there that can give me manual controls and 4K video shooting on Zuk Z1 (Official Nougat??
Thanks a lot in advance.

Surprised ! No one seems to have an answer to my question. May be I asked too much.

Zuk z1 doesn't supports camera 2.api
It should be implemented by lenovo

This ROM could give you 4k, 60fps, manual control.

Thank you, I will give it a shot and update.
By the Way, I'm on Official Nougat 7.0. Is this Lineage OS too something similar? Just download and Flash it through TWRP or Is there anything specific that I should be careful about?

Google Camera

Dear All,
I've gone through various threads just to realize that there's not one APK for Google camera which works perfectly on One Plus 5.
I'd greatly appreciate if anyone here can help me with a perfectly working GC APK link.
Note: I'm running my OP 5 on stock ROM.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I recomend this apk: LINK

Sorry the last link it's wrong.
Correct link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
For me its the best version of all apks and dont need any configuration only you need install .

None work flawlessly, and unless OP makes some changes it won't be possible to have a fully functional GCam without system changes (root or at least an unlocked bootloader would be required). The camera library files from OP are 'customized' in ways that make them not fully compatible with the Camera2 API that GCam depends on. Devs here have been working hard to band-aid it, but only so much can be done by modding the GCam apk to work around the libs. Changing the libs to match GCams needs currently breaks compatibility with OP features (Face Unlock specifically). The ideal for us as users is that OP updates the libs to support full Camera2 and also keeps their own propriety additions in place so that everything can work.

Sorry, front camera in portrait mode or HDR+ make an horrible pink images with lines.
Really frustrated.
Back camera with portrait and HDR+ works fine; the problem starts with frontal camera
I'm the only?

The modded GCam app is horrible, portrait mode not working, slow motion as well and the image quality is worse

Check this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76543768&postcount=2927
If you install the magisk/twrp mod for front cam and hdr+ fix with pixel2mod 7beta9 (file name GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk), you actually have an almost fully working (and arguably better than oos) camera app. Only thing remains missing is the slowmo and 60fps video modes, which you can still achieve using the oos camera.

Google Camera MOD - any available?

I'm trying to install Google Camera. So far, I've tried BSG versions , a few of them, all 32 bit of course (made for Android 6+). You can finde the list at celsoazevedo website, filter for BSG and look up for 3.2
None of them has worked, I can install the app, I can run it, I can record video but when I switch to camera mode I only see a black window and it freezes. I can even access the settings.
What can I do? Is it because S5 doesn't have Camera2 API? Is there a solution? I'd really like to use Gcam, even if it'd be a super old version, cause the stock camera of Resurrection Remix ROM is really bad
Thank you

Thank you so much man, it's working
I wanted to try Gcam cause everyone says it's really good. I know the latest versions are much much better because of many factors, but I guess this old version is still better than the custom ROM stock ones.
I'll also try open camera, thanks

Works on G900F / G900FD ?

You are from indonesia, do not make **** here! Malu-maluin aja lu cah!!!

This rom has parts from another rom without those developers permissions. Aka kanged
anyone who downloads this rom should be aware, that it will not be supported by the original developers of said rom

Clean installation here, phone signal doesn't work, some of us might see it as a deal breaker.

restart once

3 serious bugs :
1.face unlock works without pin ( you can swipe to unlock ) with face unlock enabled which is lol
2. chrome force close each time after 1 min of use.
3.no fingerprint whatoever.

very good work , but way too many bugs and stability issues to be a daily driver,
i tested it for 3 days and here is what i found ( i wish you be pro enough to fix em not just port/steal and run ) :
1. fingerprint doesnt work whatsoever
2. face id sometimes work without even pin saved or password
3. chrome is dead , force closes and hangs each min
4. auto restart and come back with 30 % lower battery....
5. this rom comes with ethernal kernal pre installed , i dont really knw why, but its very unstable .
6. stuttering a lot across apps
7. no decent game is playable on it GPU issues and stutter
8. too many built.prop edits to make it looks like an original work , while in fact it's a MIUI EU work + Ethernal kernal on POCO F1 and ported with some modifications to work on MIDO ( or to look like it works on mido ) .
_____
from a fellow developer to another, please quit this job, it's not for you.
here in XDA we appreciate each other work and mention original developers names, not just steal thier work and publish it half-baked and run away to write a new post.
