Camera 2 API for Xperia Z3 - Xperia Z3 General

Hello all!
Ultimately I would like to install a version of the GCAM on my Xperia Z3, cos the picture quality is just so much better than anything I know from stock.
However I'm already failing at step 1 - Getting the Camera 2 API enabled on my phone. There are some Magisk Modules and other patches floating around which I tried - No luck.
I also tried editing the build.prop file and set persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 - No luck
I use the Camera2 Probe App to check if the API is enabled but alas it always shows "Hardware Support Level - Legacy" only.
I'm currently running AOSP Extended (Android 9). Also tried with Carbon ROM and some other custom roms, all with the same, negative result.
Is there any limitation here that I'm not seeing - Does anybody know of a possibility of enabling this API on the Xperia Z3?

Ok, let me try a different approach - The Z3 was launched in 2015, so it's a pretty old phone.
Question1: Is the Camera2 API a pure software API, or does the underlying camera hardware also have a role to play here?
Question2: Is the API part of the ROM, or is it part of some Google framework / GAPPS? If it is part of the GAPPS, which part?
I'm curious because I tried several Android 8 and 9 custom ROMS, installed several versions of GAPPS, fiddled with the build.prop file and none of these measures enabled the Camera2 API on this device.

Asking camera stuff

Hi XDA,
I just want to ask, is there anyway, any ROM, tweaks that enable the Camera2 API or the camera on our phone's camera doesn't support the new API.
-OR-
You can try by downloading LCamera here :
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/releases/download/dev-build/lcamera-debug.apk
And try to open it and report to the OP.
If it FC right after you open it, it's now working.

Instructions:
BOOT TO THE RECOVERY/TWRP
WIPE DATA, SYSTEM AND THE CACHES
FLASH A AOSP OS/ROM/FIRMWARE/KERNEL
GO TO THE REBOOT MENU AND SELECT RECOVERY
FLASH THE PATCH BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE SYSTEM
REBOOT TO THE SYSTEM NOW. THE FIRST START MAY TAKE SOME TIME
And that's it! If You don't want to flash a new ROM, just choose the Clean or Full Wipe within the Patch. But avoid to flash a new Patch over a old One. Each Version is a own Thing, not just an Update.
One More...
New Thread, new Luck... :angel:
The next Patch is coming soon. Including a whole new AROMA Layout and a lot more Features besides some new Services and Functions. Hope You can live with 1.6 for now...

Hi OP
Welcome back. I have been waiting for your come back.
I am enjoying the Goodies of 1.6 with my OP5 installed after a clean flash of xXx No limits ROM which is stock based ROM.
Just a request. Please keep your G+ posting open for comments. I wanted to respond several times on your postings but none of them were accepting comments.
Thanks again.

Hi Miustone,
good to see you are back. And thanks for your Lights Patch! I'm running it on my Axon 7 (A2017 4/128), DarkRom, Magisk, for months now. It's stable, super smooth with Sot up to 5 hrs, which is great, as I'm using 2 Sim cards, BT and wifi all the time.
I can confirm that the (muted speaker) call bug is back with Light Patch 1.6. It was solved beginning with version 1.2. Toggling speaker on/off doesn't help, WhatsApp calls have muted speaker too, Skype is working ok. Strange!
Please let know, if you need some logs. I will wait and check LP 1.7 anyway.
Keep on with your great work!
May i install this patch to CM11 Gt-I8552? i want try it! looking good

I've read the comments on the Axon 7 AICP and Linage Threads. I told them that i can fix it without the Patch but they prefer ignorance and trolling over fixing lol The Problem will be fixed with the next Patch. Need to find the fix step by step again since i've added a lot of new Audio Stuff...
Some Clean Logs could also Help If You want to make some! Thanks for Your Feedback anways!

The most of it is based on Qualcomm Tech and Ports. I'm not advanced with Mediatek but know that there are "similar" Techs available for them. I would prefer to let that others do, but i'm willed to help porting it if someone has interest on making a second Light Patch for Mediatek exclusively... What i never would support is Exyons, which is the biggest trash ever in My Eyes. Hardly closed sourced and not as much advanced as i want it to...
I'm btw. working recently on the next Patch System (V4). There will come a lot of changes, keep an eye on the Changelog if You like Spoilers :angel:
BR, Miu
So much work left... But i'm satisfied about the new Layout and Options. Much more to choose from besides some cool new Ideas which where long enough in My Backhead since some Version. I'm also working on ROM/OS injection Support and a One Click Option which flashs the Patch like i use it without the need to fight thru the whole Setup.
The OS Injection will be a Option and runs automatically on the One Click Installer, the first Release of it needs a unpacked/repacked OS which needs to be copy and pasted into the root of the Patch (Or just a ZIP inside the Patch, dunno yet). My Scripts are doing the Rest. Planned is a Injection Method of external Zip Files for the next Releases. I need to find a Solution for that and the Handling of ROM/OS Scripts in the Patch. Complex stuff but i think this could be a big Thing at all...
Any Help with it would be much appreciated!
All the Best! Miu

Hello Miu im looking your thread and cheking it often and waiting the new version i didn`t flash 1.6 because you mentioned you gona release new one and i read the changelog and i get even more excited about that. Im not So big at development patches but i have few questions and or maybe a suggestion.
In the Changelog i read about the Audio Optimization and thanks to AndroidBoy So i guess one of the echancment is pushing the SnapDragon DAC in Performance Mode? is this correct im interested in what kind of Audio Exhancment the Patch will inlude im a HTC 10 Owner now im set with Sauron.
Also what will be beneficial to ecchange the Snapdragons to the posible ever VIDEO/Image i mean the Best Posible quality watching Video, Pictures or whatever related to media this will be really beneficial for everyone.
Also before in the past years when we was still roling older Android build everyone know the tricks with build.props editing and so on in case to make something better or just to improve.
Now is a litle more different with the new Androids version and i think the things become much more advanced will be beneficial to have improvement of the SIGNAL WIFI Network if you want whatever all related things to the Chipset.
I wish if you have it already a link to read more detailed changelog for example how something is acomplishing and will have an idea whats really going on with the device applying that patch.
Thank you and keep doing LIGHT

Hey, haven't much time to reply right now. But i really appreciate Your interest and Your Post here. I don't know You, but are You advanced with making ROMs or something with Android?

I'm still searching Team Members! Anyone with knowledge about Android is welcome... Especially App and ROM Developers!

Google Camera - How to - for Mi Note 3 . With configurations.

FiX for MIUi 10 now!! ( xiaomi. eu Beta and global Beta Pie roms fix!!!!) (scroll to the end of post)
Update 23.12.2018. thanks to @dianluitao @EnesSastim and couple more people we have working GCam on MIUI 10 8.1
07.07.2019. *****UPDATE********
So for now cam2api is not buuged anymore on Pie roms (for now only beta) and here I will post how and files to go from 0 to full working GCam.
As usually you will need twrp and magisk or just magisk.
Flash in magisk file attached to enable Cam2api
Install recommended GCam (I am using it it doesn't mean it is the best one for you too)
Also there is file with preloaded GCam settings for easy use. How to load it? Well first open file explorer and make folder >>>GCam than make another inside of it >>>Configs than copy/paste Configs html file in it and not go and start GCam app, click couple of times on black area (around shutter button) option menu named :Choose confog pick the one you copy pasted in GCam folder and click Restore. Just to make sure close GCam clear from memory and open again. Settings is loaded and you are ready to use it.
Also thanks to @uvera we have this fix and thanks to all people involved in making GCam ports of html pre loaded settings for it.
Don't be twat, press that *****Thanks***** button below since I know you are all cheap m.... F.... and there will be 0 donations Cheers mates!
P. S. I have some troubles with attaching the files give me some time to work it out. Will update post during the day.
23.12.2018. Update - You will need china stable or miui.eu rom 10.2.3.0 for this to work ( I personal tested it on eu rom) all yopu need it root explorer, build prop editor and 2 files.
1) Download camera.sdm660.so and copy/paste it via root explorer into vendor/lib/hw/ and replace old file ( I used solid explorer to do so also you will need magisk since you need to give solid explorer root privileges ) (.so file is in zip so yes you need to extract it first than copy that file and replace it with old one).
2)go to build prop editor give it root privbileges and add this line : persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 (persist.camera.HAL3.enabled and in value box add 1) save it and restart phone
3) after this you will need to flash front camera fix to make front camera working. fix and rest of the files are at the end of this post !
Once again thanks to @dianluitao @EnesSastim @WebDingo and @Savitar (webdingo and savit for front camera fix) and all people responsable for this fix. :highfive:
Hi, I just want to make guide - simple step by step tutorial that people can follow and install GCam on our Mi Note 3 - Jason device. EVERYTHING you do is your own responsibility and I am not to be blamed if something goes wrong while you do so.
1. You NEED a rooted phone, for now, this ONLY works on rooted phones.
2.You need TWRP since you need to flash magisk and camera2api from there. Link to magisk >>> https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Thanks to @topjohnwu
3.Now when you flashed latest magisk you will need to do the same with camera2api (file will be at the end of this thread). Thanks to @uvera00
4.Now you can restart your device and install GCam apk from here >>>> https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ I recommend Arnova's version 6 since it is the latest and it is working ok (it is not bugless) .
5.Now when you done all this start the camera and as you can see it is not working That is because you need to set it up correctly.
So correct (most stable ) settings are :
Advanced : Config camera HDR+ / Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+
HDR+ parameters (you can play with this and decide which ones are best for you. I use Medium or Very High.
Disable front HDR+ / ON - THIS IS MUST HAVE
HDR+ image quality / Again this is to your own liking I use 97%
Well, this is basically it. Everything else is up to you to experiment with and share your best stable results. This setting I use every day and so far I didn't have any crashes. Also, a thing I forgot to mention in shooting mode you will see HDR+ icon up on the screen if you press it there is HDR+ enhanced mode and I do not recommend this since it is not working correctly with flash and it tends to crash app. I don't recommend it but it doesn't mean you cant use it
Share your best settings and some interesting pics! We are here to help each other.
GCam wouldn't be possible without Arnova, B-S-G, ivanich, scrubber, skulshady, cstark27, miniuser123, UriKill, Tolyan009, Charles_I, azevedo. This is their work and if you want to donate go to GCam donate link and donate to them. I am just here to make a bit simpler. Test GCam and have a nice day
Ok so there was some development for our device thanks to all GCam developers and @WebDingo for asking them to help us out. The new attacked zip is magisk module and it contains cam2api and front camera HDR fix for Mi Note 3. I tested it with couple of GCam versions and it works well. Flash it thry TWRP and enable (it should be enable by default ) in magisk. Also i there is now Arnova version on which manual focus works. The version is Arnova v7 test10 opt5-5t you can download it from official download page of Gcam ports i provided up in the thread. As always test and report
As you all know Gcam is not working on miui 10 builds. For now, we know "fix for it " i tried it on xiaomi.eu 10 stable build and it is working.
1. Download build pro editor from google play
2. Open build prop editor click on three dots in right up corner press + New - Name : persist.camera.HAL3.enabled and in Value field enter number 1 and click save.
3. in prop editor go to search and type persist.camera find this line - persist.camera.dxo=1 and delete it. Restart the phone. Now boot to twrp and flash camera fix for gcam and boot again.
4. Install Gcam you think will be good ( I tied it with OP6-1.2.1-Gcam and Gcam 5.1.018 by SerJo87)
The problem was (we think) during the broken blobs of OIS so by disabling it gcam works.
All of this wouldn't be possible without @dianlujitao @uvera and all other devs on MN3 telegram group. Special thanks to @rayser ( I don't know how are you signed up here buddy).
Findings so far:
Front camera has screen flash (when will MIUI camera implement this?)
HDR+ enhanced works correctly with flash in my case (MIUI EU 9.2.2.0)
HDR+ doesn't work correctly with flash (the flash is already off when the picture is taken)
HDR+ enhanced has greenish issue
60fps recording records 30fps (more like library issue from the base ROM)
Portrait mode doesn't work for front camera (lens blur works, though)
Are you using same settings as i mentioned above? What version of GCam ?
Video mode is very dark.....
I did intall difrently, because i dont know how to use magisk....but the result is the same.:angel:
Edit:
Forget it, video works normally..
You dont need magisk for GCam as an app. You need magisk to enable camera2api (which you did by fleshing it via TWRP) so you can just install/uninstall GCams apks normally. Also you can have more than one GCam installed on your device. I have currently 3 of them. V3.2 + v5 + v6.
What i did was wright the 2 lines with app Build.ini.
Did follow your sugestions for Gcam. Im at work without time to test....
Queston:
Why there isnt option for 13Mb in 16:9 mode? Only 9Mb....
You mean 13 megapixel and 9 megapixel ? Because 16:9 is cropped image and it is in 9mpx resolution.

Hi!
I'm on Xiaomi.EU 8.2.1 Rom .
When i activate the Camera2Api, Google Camera works, but i can not record 4K video with it, and the default Miui camera app also refuses the video recording in 4K.
I've tried a lot of camera apps, with same result. 1080p ok, but the 4K not at all.
What is the solution?
Another question:
It is possible somehow to achive 1080p with 60fps?
maybe with a modded media profiles.xml?
Thanks!
Good Questions...
Gonna try 4K too
P.S. NO problem on 4K both cameras...didnt see the sound.
is this quide for fully working google camera? or just somethings of it? like touch to focus, no crashing, hdr+? no greenish etc..
As I wrote, this is guide to set up GCam there are different versions with different bugs, in v6 manual focus inst working and hdr+ enhances sometimes crash when using with auto flash. There is version 3.2 where manual focus is working but low light images aren't that good. Also there is v5 where in my opinion are the best details. So you download different versions and try to see which one you prefer.
Послато са Mi Note 3 уз помоћ Тапатока
I tried many versions of GCam and stock camera since 8.2.1. is improved a lot. It makes similar photos (with HDR) to GCam.
But for me, best quality of photos is GCam V1,7. But sometimes it do not want to make photo on HDR+, only with enchanced.
So wich version of gcam should i install if i use all in auto with hdr on?
I'm on lineage
Try GCam 5v1.2 arnova or v6 arnova. But keep in mind that it depends a lot on settings of GCam. For GCam 5v1.2 use Nexus 6P and Pixel 2017 ZSL +

That's the first app + settings I've found with no bugs. Haven't deeply tested quality, but everything works.
Night shoots are black for me. It appears flash isnt helping. Same settings i used as in pictures.

Camera 2 api, build prop method does nothing

TYPE: note 3 European sm N9005 hlte
Havoc OS with Lolz kernel
I'm trying to get camera 2 api on it but the methods don't work at all
And what Ive seen with a camera 2 api enabled one is that it has a system app focused on it and flags built in and since all I've done is made build props the OS doesn't even understand it, I have no clue how to get the rest or make the phone understand what camera 2 api is etc-

[SHARED] [Camera Mod][OOS10] Camera M, Magisk 24.3+

Hello there, this is a simple port for newer magisk versions of the Camera M mod for One Plus 5T. On OOS10 it's working perfectly. Not tested on custom roms, but you can give it a try.
The mod itself is not made by me, and binaries is not modified, original from the latest update of initial creators, txx1219 and DorianX.
Source code: https://github.com/gherv1/One-Plus-5T
Download Link: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822049482
Does this mod have access to recording 1080p 60 fps video (as in the video file legitimately shows 60 fps in its media properties)?
Whether it's OOS or a custom ROM I have noticed that all third-party camera apps have no access to 1080p 60 fps video recording (e.g. OpenCamera), or if they do it's not actually recording at 60 fps despite the setting selected (e.g. all GCam ports I tried so far). I can live without this but would love to know if there are third-party apps that can take advantage of this camera mode for the OnePlus 5T.
(EDIT 05/09/2023): This does not work on my specific custom ROM, the unofficial Evolution X 7.8 (Android 13-based) ROM port for the OnePlus 5T, when flashed via Magisk 26.1 (installed via OrangeFox Recovery R.11.1_3-dyn[A12]). The Camera app fails to load without showing error messages.
