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.

Final info about possibility to enable Camera2APi on MiNote3 without root

Hi,
I read a lot in this forum and in other sites about the possibility to enable Camera2API on our fantastic MINote3 phone but, at the end, I don't understand if is possible to enable che Camera2API WITHOUT root the device. Can someone give me a final answer about this question ?
PS
If the answere is "yes, is possible without root", then other questions are:
is ok this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-google-camera-root-magisk-enable-t3747585/page10 (see post 98) or is only ok for MI A1 ? Are there other methods ?

If you can install TWRP you can enable it without rooting your system, as TWRP has root priveliges while it is running.
Here you can find a zip file to flash in TWRP to enable it.
I have used it.

Yes, I have done it myself on Mi Note 3 running the latest Xiaomi.eu weekly 8.4.26.
I have also done it on Mi Max Prime, Mi Mix, and Mi Note 2.
If you had read the whole thread you would have seen my posts.

Thank you soo much for all your informations.
Only one question: is necessary to flash the twrp on the device or is enough to load the twrp via the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" ?

It "should" work to only boot into TWRP without flashing it.
That is if you do not want to install TWRP, just use it once.
The next time you reboot, your new TWRP will be gone again.
I have not tried this myself.

I will try the procedure where I only boot twrp (without flash it) then will try to enable camera2api parameters on built.prop and also change permission of this file (with su permission).
I will update this thread with a feedback about the operation

Hi,
finally I enable Camera2API on Mi Note 3 (with last official global rom) WITHOUT root the device. These are my tasks:
- unlock the bootloader (with MI official utility) and lost all my data
- flash TWRP Red Wolf then run it and, to give the right access to the partitions, I wipe and format my device from the TWRP menu and reboot the device
- Then, from TWRP, I install "HZQ_MIUI_Camera_Mod_CAMERA2_API_170824.zip"
Thanks Cobben for the good informations
PS
Now I use GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.2.apk and run very well. The quality of the night shoots is better a lot respect xiaomi default camera

I add that with gcam the videos are better that xiaomi cam:
- less nois
- better color
- much details
Then, at the end, gcam become the main camera app on my device (and I will use xiaomi cam only for boken effect or camera zoom)

Hi, I installed the Xiaomi.eu rom and installed also the Google camera (v.7.9.4 - everything is working correctly even the Slow motion). I can say that the Miui camera is on par with Google camera or a level down. The Miui camera uses the algorithm in the open-source Gcam app. You can try the Xiaomi.eu rom which is based on China rom - it is great.

In my case instead I use the last global 9.5.3.0 and gcam is the best

[Mi A1] Official Pie Update -> GCAM problems

After finally receiving Pie today, my Gcam doesn't work correctly anymore. What I mean by this it's that it can't focus properly.
Otherwise the app opens, it doesn't crash, and this phenomenon occurs only on the rear camera while taking a photo. Video focusing works, front camera focus works.
Any ideas?
December 5 security patch
Android 9
From Arnova's mods to the lates 6.1 Gcam versions, I was affected by this phenomenon

Well, I lost Hal3 during the process.. so GCam doesn't work at all. I'm trying to enable Camera2 API, but it didn't work so far. I've seen tutorials on how to do it through adb, but just doesn't do anything.

Try this
-First of all install (Camera2 API Probe)
Open it and check hardware support level (probably it's show LEGACY)
- Now install (Camera2 API Enabler)
open the app and enable:
- Enable Camera2 API
- Enable Camera EIS
Then apply
-Restart your phone
-Open Camera2 API Probe again (you must see new result as the attachment)
Now open your GCam and voila!

I will have problems with gcam if I upgrade to pie without a factory reset?

I can confirm, that tap to focus does not work at all. All I get is out of focus picture in the viewfinder and that's all. Stock camera app works great, though.

Thread moved to the correct location.
Thanks for being careful next time.

it says it's Level_3 already. But GCam still isn't working properly, after several reinstalls etc.
Same thing as @airidosas252 said!

So how about getting hal3 and eis enabled without root? Because I followed the guides in this forum. Go into TWRP and perform all the adb commands. Still Legacy...

It's still Level_3 for me.. I guess we gotta wait for the guys with exp to figure it out..

bsg test 8.1 version works. selfie camera quality is sheit though. Also, portrait mode doesn't. But night sight does, which is nice!

false alarm, bsg 8.1 works for normal pics, but night sight has the same focus hunting issue as other apps

Guys. My wife's A1 had camera2 api enabled through that method that unlocks bootloader, enter the TWRP, change the build.prop line and after relock the bootloader. No root or TWRP installed.
If she update the system to pie, does it will edit again build.prop reverting Level 3? At least I saw mixed experience here with people saying the two things.

In my case after upgrading to pie, the level 3 persisted, so no need to do anything else.
However, the gcam ports do not work well as in oreo. Mostly problems with autofocus and selfie camera

Same. I've tried 3 times but I can't unlock camera2api.

Still no updates on how to fix it? ?

Nope

My gcam works. Still front camera green issue but same as before

Uninstall any previously installed AR Core and Playground/AR Stickers app and then download this and install both the apks. After doing all these head towards Gcam and you'll see a option named AR Stickers https://www.mediafire.com/file/qljj8dljqt72dq8/ARStickers.zip

do I have to install something on magisk?

Error: Air Stickers Fails Continuously

Force closes,
Not working

Just follow these easy steps and you will be able to install Playground and Measure.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ar/
Measure sample:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/623s8HXcak9816mSA
When they won't work anymore go to Magisk Manager, disable, re-enable the module then reboot. Should work now.

Carefully follow these step but no luck. ARsticker and measure app closed ?

No working

yes you are right my friend, I also have tried a lot of Arcore installations and playgrounds to decorate google camera videos, but unfortunately all the guides on xda I have tried with the results of sadness. currently waiting for a developer to build arcore perfection and playground for xiaomi a1 rom stock with support for magisk and twrp. I hope someone is dev.

Actually it works on my mi a1. The only thing, after a while the stickers won't hold their position.
