Hello fellow M9 users,
As many of you may know, AOSP 7.1.1 based custom roms have started to pop up for our device. Many of these are based on the Lineage OS sources (formerly Cyanogenmod).
There appear to be some recent commits to the device specific git repositories for our device:
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_htc_hima-common
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_htc_himaul
One major issue that all the Nougat roms currently have is the lack of a working camera. I'm not a qualified dev, so I'm making this thread to both ask for progress and search for/organize volunteer efforts. I remember that we had a similar issue with CM13 (getting the camera to work proved to be difficult and took a while). I'm wondering what the difference is between this device and other devices (since it seems that pretty much every single other HTC device has had LOS14.1 with all working features for a while now). What is stopping us from doing the same? Do we need to create a petition/pester HTC to release source code?
If there are any devs left for this phone, please reply in this thread so fellow M9 users can be kept informed and potentially help you test (or help in any other way, depending on the posters' abilities).
The last commit was one month ago and nobody has replied here, seems like development has really halted... Any idea why this happened? What makes the m9 different from the 7, 8 or 10, all of which have active development?
Maybe because stock system is already superb with sense...

a solution
i installed lineage os....and the camera is working fine for me. The thing you need to do is to not update the camera app. As soon you update the app it starts crashing and wont open camera. It happened with me and then i uninstalled the update and guess what camera is working fine again. We will have to wait for this fix but for the time being we have to stick with the older version of camera app.
I have Lineage OS on my M9. If you install flash OpenGapps using the stock installation, you will get an updated google camera that will crash all the time. I flashed the nano installation from OpenGapps. The stock camera from Lineage OS works well. I think the stock version from OpenGapps automatically replaces stock Lineage apps if there is a google alternative. The nano version does not replace apps.
Is there a way to get the google camera app on the s8+ ?
Yes you can install the apk but you have to go back to the last 7.0 compitable version. The newer versions for 7.1 won't work. This is the version I'm using on my S8:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-4-1-006-135988111-release/
U can try the the camera nx. (V5.4 and under, Android 7.0+, ARM 64. ( currently, V4+ will only works on 7.1.1 DP1 , 7.1 custom rom users can find solution below. Android 7.0 users please choose the No ZSL version)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...d-google-camera-4-2-nexus-5x-android-t3477980
The non zsl version is working for me(taking normal photo), the rest I have not tested.

Cool!
I didn't install the magisk module since I have already enabled the Camera2API with adb, but I've installed the apk and everything works!
Have you modded it specifically for this device?

The best Port almost, Very few crashes!
most stable version i used ? thanks ? keep it updated
Slow motion not working.
Video recording UHD4K not working.
Video recording 1080p 60fps is over zoomed.
Night sight working but viewfinder is not working, green screen.
Frontal camera detected as 5 MP only.
Should I be rooted?
If I install the magisk module, do I alter system partition? Or maybe lose OTA?
Thanks in advance.

If you have time, convert to 6X and flash Carbon PIE ROM. Latest version is two days old, and Pixel 3 gcam port is stable, no crashes. In general this ROM is much better than stock, battery life is solid. Compared to stock Pie ROM, 4K recording and slow motion do not work in Gcam, but I am using Snap Cam for 4K recording with EIS. In summary Carbon PIE is best ROM so far for A2/6X, you have some customization compared to stock and have double tap to wake, and most importat for me, Pixel 3 camera port is working like a charm
@Mr.Nice.ba, to much hustle for another variant of pie rom, and I must say, I am very pleased how stock PIE works for now, maybe I'm not demanding user after all...but thanx for proposal.
Perfect mod.
Thanks, @Gleison lima!

Is it possible to have the 20 mp front on google camera? what i understand is that is a camera2api limitation, am i alright?
Anyway, thanks op for the mod, i really like it. Just a question, is it possible to get a raw file with night sight? i don't know if its possible with pixel 3, just asking. Again, thank u :highfive:
I just installed the camera.apk and the camera crashes right away. Do I need to install the magisk module?
UPDATE..I FLASHED THE MAGISK MODULE WOOOORRRKKINNGG.
Night sight is working and viewfinder also working for me. Haven't tested anything else. Just received Mi A2 today and already sideloaded pie and installed magisk and enabled gcam.
brother when will you update this app?
Apk doesn't install, i am on pixel experience latest build
Is there a way to install it

can you share the ADB commands to enable Camera2API ?
plus can you shared the link to download the Camera2API apk ?
Thanks.
Any update on this brother? Or if you have any suggested GCam, we are very pleased to know that. Thanks a lot!
Mi a2 gcam issue
Hi i just bought mi a2 how can i install gcam without adb use
Is there any other method
Recently updated from oreo 8.1 to one UI
And gcam portrait mode stopped working
Anybody kindly help em.out?
Which version of GCam are you using? If it's not the case, I'd recommended you to begin by using a build that is known to have a working Portrait Mode with OneUI. In fact that's the build probably everyone will recommend you to use on this board: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gca...ova-based_v.1.3c_fix_TlnNeun_xcam_5_beta6.apk
Don't lose your time trying the newer builds (beta 20 is the latest I think), they don't work with the Note 9 and don't bring anything new anyway. Stick to beta 6
Then refer to this thread, you'll find all the information and configuration recommendations you'll need to get a 100% working GCam port (Portrait, Night Sight, HDR+, etc.) on your Snapdragon Note 9: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/google-camera-snapdragon-note9-t3835123
Hi All,
can anyone share the steps for the latest version of GCAM(google camera )to install in moto g5 plus, currently running oreo os with moto g5 plus?
On Oreo I've never found a Gcam that worked, but many people point to this site: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ You can find versions that are supposed to work with Oreo.
Hi there, i'm using two different types of gcam in my moto g5 plus: 6.1.021.220943556 and 5.2.025.198487658. Both finded in the site above ^ celsoazevedo. Another thing, I don't know if these versions are working on oreo because my moto g is running HavocOS. But, if you're interested, the link to download and how to install the ROM is in the forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus too

I have tried the latest version by the same developer (7.6.008, v7) and seems to work fine on crDroid 7.6 / Android 11.
I also tried a few of the "suggested" apks, but everything else I tried seemed to crash.
