I know, I know, I'm on XDA so I must want the GCAM mod all the way!
I've managed to install the Pixel Experience ROM on my Mi Mix 3 5G and I'm loving what I see so far, I just miss the stock camera. I've extracted the APK from the stock ROM but it won't install on my Pixel Experience ROM. It's throwing up the error "App not installed" when I try to install the extracted APK. I assume this is possibly due to it trying to save in the same folder as the 'stock' camera that comes preinstalled with the Pixel Experience ROM.
Does anyone have an installable APK for the stock camera or suggest any way of me editing the APK to be able to install it?
Thank you!
I don't know if this is exactly what you were after but I tried it out yesterday and so far so good.

You should use anx camera with this Rom instead of Google camera
To anyone using this rom, anxcamera is a must have! It's the miui camera ported over to AOSP and everything is working fine (incudes front flash, 960fps slow motion, 4k h265, filters and effects and the lot) I haven't experienced any bugs with it either and the quality in on par with the Google camera app. Download from the official website as the developer closed his xda forum

I've tried a few gcam's and anx, but all I get is a static image in Camera. If I move the phone around, the first image that locked in the camera is static, it doesn't change. And no, it's not an image I took from pushing the camera button, it's static from starting up the camera.
I don't seem to be able to get this to work. If anyone has any filenames of what I should download, that'd be really helpful! Or better yet, any links. I would really appreciate the help!

hey bros, does enyone knows how to make google camera work on custom roms?
usually it just works on most custom roms... have you tried just flashing it with a gaps package that includes it? that should work. but then again, I've never had an issue with it when I installed it from the playstore either. it should work with no issues. Did you check to make sure all the correct permissions are set for it? if permissions aren't correct it will force close
Having the same issue on RR official. App requests permissions, once you have given them it crashes and crashes again whenever you load it up.

The solution is in the post above yours. Stop seeking...
As another user said before, this one should work:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...era-4-1-006-126161292-2-android-apk-download/
okey, so 4.1 version works indeed, but why newer versions don't work?
i would recommend you to flash STOCK GAPPS along with Any ROM which will replace the default camera application in the ROM to the Google Camera one which you can update later from the Play store itself

I have been using stock gapps for a while.
The google camera which is pre installed works well.But every time I update the google camera from Play Store it just force close.
Latest Google Camera versions do not work because they require camera HAL3:
https://source.android.com/devices/camera/camera3.html
Seems like no one has so far managed to get HAL3 working properly on custom OP2 Nougat roms. Devs have tried to enable HAL3 multiple times on OP2 roms, but have always reverted back to HAL1. In case of HAL3, the photos in portrait orientation are scrambled, and some apps have focusing issues. The most important benefit of HAL3 is the support of capturing RAW images. Other benefits include better photo sphere support, etc.
Latest HAL3 enabled rom release I know of is RR 5.8.2 from 25.02:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705912
On that one the latest Google Camera 4.3 works, but portrait orientation pictures are messed up. Also RAW image colors are screwed up in OP Cam app.
I hope that the HAL3 issues are fixed after/if Oneplus releases Nougat for OP2, as currently it seems like it is either too difficult for devs to fix it or even impossible.

Another thing: with hal3 you can have also pixel stabilization in video recording, much important

Since OOS3.5.8 sources has been released and OP2 has HAL3 support for quite a long time, do you think some of the custom nougat roms could take this advantage to enable HAL3 supporting? And have you heard anything about it? I want to switch to custom nougat rom but camera functions always make me go back to OOS.

Nope, didn't work.
LineageOS Official works! It seems to be that the ROM must *not* have HAL3.
ressurrection remix official with oneplus 2 camera.all things works fine.
Try Cosmic OS.
Or ViperOS. Only few ROMS's still have HAL1, unfortunately. For some reason everyone says just "need HAL3, it is better", although I haven't seen proof of that. Only problems with it.
Currently running RR Official, HDR works (I think) but panorama still doesn't. It's odd that I have so much difficulty using base features on anything other than stock.
Edit: HDR says its working, but doesn't actually do anything. Tried on OP2 and OP5 cameras. Google Camera force closes.
I'm using Mokee OS with OnePlus 5 camera. Everything works fine.

Weird, that one should work with OP2 original camera zip flashed. I had it for some time, was ok but development stopped, it seems. By the looks of it, soon there will be no HAL1 ROM
go for official aicp rom
Any idea why google camera force closes ? Is there a fix to it ?
I installed the google camera ported to mi note 3 the only issue is ,it doesn't click HDR and HDR+ images (all appear green ) normal can works and video OIS 60fps
AOSPExtended version 4.5 (not the latest one) has working HDR thanks to HAL 1.
Ay hello guys, is there any way to install Samsung's stock camera on AOSP? I'm at LOS 16.1, and native camera sucks. I've already installed GCam, but I want the stock app too

This Is not possible, you can't never use stock camera in aosp rom, you can use footej camera , i'm using It on pixel experience and is very very good app

Yeah it's possible. It only needs the framework from stock rom, I used to use the stock camera app on custom roms in my Motorola

You are right, everything is possible but i think with Motorola fw is much easy because Motorola fw is near 100% stock android, Samsung experience (the framework) Is closed source and isn'possible to extract and used in aosp rom due the copyright of framework and the complexity of its integration in the android os, maybe i'm wrong but i never see a stock Samsung framework working on aosp rom in many years of Samsung device i used and modded
I remember back in the days of my S3. There was, for some time, a zip file floating around, which had the whole Samsung Camera, and it worked on AOSP.
I remember opening the zip before installing just out of curiosity and there were a whole bunch of files, not just an apk.
Some years later, I searched for it again, to no avail. It vanished from the face of the internet.
This is no real fault of a particular rom but more every custom rom I've tried on the 6t. I can not find a camera that fully works. I always end up back on OOS. I'm self employed and do my own marketing, I take photos and videos of projects before, during and after completion and while I've tried various cameras, some work better, some not, sadly after some time they all either stop working, videos lag, or simply the camera stops connecting randomly. I say all the above, not as criticism but for advice from other users. Do you use a camera that fully works, is stable and has decent quality? If so, name it please. Thanks
I have been using the gcam that is included with the XXxNoLimits Magisk module for some time and had no problems.
I am rooted, using the Omega kernel, OOS 9.0.17, and xXx. There is also a thread on xda for the latest gcam port.
I believe you can also download the gcam google app from the play store. I am as un googled as I can be so I am not 100%on this one.
I was planning on installing Lineage, but now that I have this set up with the debloating and tweaks for the battery PLUS the gcam( best I have found ) I am a happy camper.
Hope there is something here that might help.

Thanks for the reply. I am on OOS Q at the moment and have debloated it using the magisk module and you are correct, it's a lot better but I'm after more pure Android ROMs. I've tried about every version of gcam I've found with different configs based off others recommendation but they always end up not working eventually.
Hi XDA,
I wanna install GCam for my Mi A1. But i found a lot of GCam version for it in this forum and it make me confusing.
Can you recommend a version of GCam that's best for my phone.
Thanks very much :highfive::highfive::highfive:
I prefer GCAM 7. I were using the unstable version so far, just installed the stable one. I only miss the possibility of setting the location of the files.
The thing that still doesn't work there is the flash. Pictures are black.
For me its beta version of Arnova8G2 Gcam 6.2.030
Stock android 9.0
Only changed camera 2api with magic

It supports Tele lens, manual focus, lib switch shortcut etc. You won't find any better version than this. Don't forget to thank the dev!
