Hi,
Is there a way to install and run OOS Camera app (the one that comes preinstalled in OOS) in LineageOS 18.1 ? I'm guessing it's not only about the camera apk itself but also about some parts of the sub-system / kernel which include appropriate drivers to the Camera sensor hardware.
I switched from OOS to LOS and experience has been near flawless, until I remembered that camera support is as usual with AOSP roms is still a big issue since manufacturers will not open their APIs for full access and control to the camera sensor. I've tried all sorts of gCam mods, and the main issue is that none of them actually support the 2x lens, which I use a lot. Even back when I ran OOS and had both OOS camera and gCam mod installed, I would still defauilt to the native OOS camera for most usecases (full res photos, video, slowmotion and timelaps videos) and use gCam for specific uses (photosphere and panorama). I feel I'm going to have to revert to OOS if I cannot find a workaround the LineageOS / gCam situation and I feel I've been thrown back 5-10 years back camera performance-wise.
Thanks in advance for your help
There is no 2x lens in 6T it's a depth sensor.
Use this GCam Mod follow the instruction properly, it's a great camera app.
If you want to try OOS camera, try this. It didn't worked very well for me but you can try.

You are mistaken. The 6T has a dual camera set up. The first and main is a wide angle, the second is a 2x fixed lens. You can actually switch between cameras on the oneplus camera app (and you can check that by masking each camera with your finger) ; you cannot on the GCam mode which only talks to the main wide angle lense.

There is no 2x camera you can read it here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw2MnkBUfABdd7OvgZiq0L7D&cshid=1621417321749
And GCam has way better picture quality than OOS cam.

Oh wow I stand corrected, thanks!
I dont know if its related to the API but sometimes the picture is taken with a bad focus even if it was good on the preview. And the flash is too late. There is a reddit about this with no real solution... I dont know if i have to inform lineage to adapt their stock app...

Until now camera is not good in lineage OS 14.1 but which is the best app so far?
this camera is not good, end of story, if you really need a great camera you should bought another phone.
Go back to stock.
Does anyone have the EUI camera app APK to side load?

No, camera Sensor is not Bad, but in lineage OS 14.1 it is not good. I think maybe if Nougat will be released official, the camera will improve and it will make its way to lineage OS 14.1 too.
Dies this make sense?

Can we simply install it as apk?
Try SnapIt camera
I dont find snapit.
Is there any other good camera app. Maybe an .apk to download driectly
Google camera is good
I've just switched to A Better Camera. So far so good, has HDR & Panarama options, easy to use UI. It does go wonky with displayed aspect ratios when previewing, but the pictures turn out good.

+1 for A Better Camera app. Works very well compared to stock app.
the best camera are 2:
1) a better camera (but the gui is horrible)
2) snap camera hdr
see you!
I use open camera. It's a very powerful app. You can adjust ISO, expose time, manual focus, expose lock. It's almost with all the function of SLR. I love it very much.
just curious. does anyone have any photo comparisons of stock vs lineage? i bought the phone recently and it shipped with lineage so i have no idea what the camera difference actually was, but i do think that camera kinda sucks. my s5 shot better photos.
Not specific for Lineage, but is there a camera app that do digital image stabilization for video?
I think the picture mode is quite decent with stock camera app, but the video mode is disastrous...
+1 on Open Camera. Also looking at but haven't yet downloaded or tested Qualcom's Snapdragon Camera. I also think the Snapdragon camera may be our default Lineage camera - so I'll likely stick with Open Camera.
Camera
I'm using moto z ported camera app. It's better then lineageOs one.
Link to post by @dado_13
I tried:
google camera, it doesn't work;
jishnu htc one m9 (and m10) camera ports, work but are buggy;
open camera, not so great after all.
So far the best one, and i'm settled on it with my rom, is aforementioned moto z camera app.
cheers

Personal opinion: After a careful analysis of the photos, I think that Bacon Camera is the one that keeps the details "richer" even if it tends to underexpose the photos.
The photos with Bacon Camera are indeed "uncompressed" in BMP format.
Google Camera and A Better Camera Unlocked (both with HDR enabled) have a better balance of lights and shadows, but they lose a lot of detail by mixing more photos.
Hi,
I'm opening this thread to discuss the several camera options there are available, so that all are informed by the options available.
There is OOS camera with HD and HDR.
There Paranoid camera which claims to be even better than stock OOS
Sultan camera, which sultanxda put a lot of effort improving the camera
GCam port that has HDR+
Share your experience with each, saying which camera you like best. If possible, detail the best camera that:
- provides the most accurate color
- provides the best motion/action picture
- provides the best low light condition
Share your photos indicating the camera app was used.
I personally use gcam to do most of my shooting. It provides the best dynamic range and image "crispness". I also enjoy how quick it shoots too.
The only time I'll switch from it is to shoot raw and manual on the Stock OOS camera.
When I'm shooting video (1080p 60fps) I usually use the OOS camera just because 60fps in gcam stutters for me on occasion.

I have used paranoid android 7.3 and I have realised that OOS camera is the best in low lighting as PA camera also does well in good lighting condition.
Paranoid camera app is very good. 60 fps on 1080p works very good. It is snappy too. OOS camera on latest beta not that snappy.

What do you think about low light photos in PA? And motion pictures? Can you share some pics?
I have used the OOS camers on OB17 / OB16 / OB15
I have also used the Google camera app.
In my opinion the OOS camera app is better at low-light shooting plus regular shooting is pretty good. I have not tried the latest ported version of the OP5 OOS camera app but I am curious, so will probably try at some point.
I have not used PA. The Sultanxda camera app has a boatload of options which in my opinion is overkill for a regular user like me.

I hasn't used paranoid ever, can't help in this regard, i myself curious about paranoid
Thats my usage:
Low light: Google cam with HDR+
Daylight in raw: OOS
Daylight jpg: Google cam with HDR+
Video: OOS
Personally I'm using Google Camera for quick shots at college, but at parties or something, I'm shooting RAWs with Snap Camera HDR - because it limits max ISO to 799, where OOS can go up to 3200 (and leave you with very much noise).
For videos I'm using OOS camera - recording 1080p60.
Daytime: Stock OOS Cam
Nighttime: Google Cam HDR+ :good:
Is there a version of the updated PA camera from 7.3.1? for me PA Cam so far gave the best results regarding image detail, since it doesnt use noise reduction, or it can at least be setup so.

Even compared with OOS?
Some photos I took solely to note the differences in low light for noise and color reproduction:
17-06-22 - OnePlus 3T - ROM & Camera Image Processing Comparison - Paranoid, Sultan, Oxygen
https://goo.gl/photos/BUFDMEc4uThYXuoW6
I currently use the Google Camera port with HDR, though for long exposures I use the OxygenOS camera, and also like that one for full resolution bursts.

Just compare the file sizes of those two camera apps, the details in OOS cam get a disgusting watercolor effect.
the ones from PA cam look nice and are like 10mb bigger than OOS camera ones.

The new PA update should improve the camera app. It is possible to compare with that version? Specially in low light and motion/action shots? I like OOS camera, but in low light and motion/action shots... Could be better. I'm curious about PA in these scenarios

No, as this was all done months ago and I wouldn't be able to set up the exact same scene, and don't wish to re-flash all of the various roms, rename files, etc.
...Though I'd certainly pay for a good photographer to do this with the various ROMs in different conditions.

Hi to all!
I would like to create a meeting point for all LG G4 users of Google Camera mod's.
In my personal experience (LG G4 H815 @kessaras AOSCP (Oreo 8.1) 20170105):
NX Camera 7.1 fails
BSG Camera fails
@Arnova8G2 Cam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4Beta2 works partially (Portrait mode works perfect. Normal photo mode fail on rear camera)
Hope to help to join experiencies and get a extra on our nice camera
@Arnova8G2 GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta2.apk work fine (some crash) on @kessaras g4 aoscp Oreo 8.1 20180107 ROM. Back and front camera working portrait and hdr+
scrubber_GCam_5.1.018.apk works but no portrait
Delete
I'm on v29 Nougat. (H-ROM).
MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Mid_v.3.8b_AllinOne_Full_Manual:
Works fine for me, I genuinely like the pictures better than stock camera. But I also feel like the stock camera makes worse pictures than it did under MM (only a feeling, didn't do any testing). Video doesn't work, however.
GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4:
Front camera works, but back camera is all black, going through a ton of settings didn't fix it.

Ok, then I will try to ask for deletion or something. Did not realized of that thread
Does any google camera port work on any of the Stock Rom? any with HDR+ or portrait?
So, its known Lenovo P2 (kuntao) has camera bug when using HAL3 mode with RAW capture, it look like pink lines instead of preview and captured pictures. I fixed this ****, now all HAL3 apps working fine. Google camera mods working including HDR+ mode.
changelog:
v1
*Initial release - fixed raw photo
v2
* Fixed issue with video recording in Lineage Snap camera, less changed bytes
* Please test and write review if this version all fine to you, if its fine, will be included in next Lineage releases.
v3
* Only 2 bytes changed compared to stock lib, so have to be least negative impact on previous working apps as possible. Please report if it breaks something.
choose one of the attachments depending on what rom you using. If you have treble enabled rom please use kuntao_fix_main_cam_v2_8.1treble.zip (149.0 KB) and if you using 7.1.2 based or 8.1 with no treble use kuntao_fix_main_cam_v2_7.1.zip (149.2 KB)
Install it using recovery and test camera apps. I have tested Google camera mod MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk (BSG, 2018-07-12) from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ . It has working HDR+ mode when choosing Nexus 6P model.
If it fixed camera for you, I will appreciate small donation https://www.paypal.me/VitaliyTomin
And second small fix is for those who want to use front cam in Gcam. Set black level 16 for front camera, or you will get green/yellow tint.
What about the dark video in both front and back from default camera
Sure i will donate 100rs
Don't you have paytm?
It works! I am on Arnova 7.9 official, the one with a red link on celsoazevedo link.
Anybody upload some sample photos and specify the (config) details if applicable.
Can I just flash this as a new user ? Do I have to flash anything else
@highwaystar_ru add portrait fix in topic too
Amazing job!
With official LineageOs 15.1 the pictures are a little pink-ish to me.
Damn it worked.
using latest beta version GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta4.apk by Arnova8G2 and portrait mode is damn fine.
Everything is working except slow motion video.
Thanks @highwaystar_ru and @celoxocis
I was hoping that mike would do it didn't expected from you guys and after reading @celoxocis comment few days ago about some imx258 blob problem i thought this day will never come.
Official lineage oreo and now gcam. You guys rocks.

Good work @highwaystar_ru , did you take library of p2 and you fixed it or did you ported from another device?
Photo quality is astounding ! Using latest camera mod from the provided link.
Many thanks !
When using treble and LOS 15.1 - will the mod survive system updates, being in the Vendor partition ?
on the latest beta. I noticed when it is to dark and you switch to front camera. it crashes the app. anyone know a possible fix for that? I remember reading something on a OnePlus subforum. but can't remember where.

I have tried front camera on almost all lighting conditions just to tried what's working and not. I haven't encounter any crash on low lighting (i have tried even in complete dark too) but i have face 1 crash using front camera in outdoor lighting. It just freeze for 1 second and then crash. I have changed some setting in the app.
Look at the hdr+ photo it's just not look like it's from our camera

I went back to MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk which is rock stable. in the beta the front camera (selfie camera) was crashing too much in my tests. especially when switching cameras. it's probably an issue with the beta.
now if we had a fix for video camera support for 30fps and 60fps. that would be great. all recordings now are in 24fps. which are smooth and without micro stuttering. even on Open Camera. but Snap Camera (default LineageOS Camera) refuses to take a video recording without 30fps at least.

well in theory. yes. it should be able thanks to @highwaystar_ru
he added the profiles [email protected] 24 fps and [email protected] fps to the video profile to the back camera.
but the rom media profiles xml needs to be adjusted i think. for it to work with snap. for now snap and OpenCamera will record in [email protected] fps.
i haven't tested 4k yet.
Any Stable gcam v6 app with night sight with working front camera, slow motion etc.

Hopefully some devs ports it soon to the device. Its a bit of a hit or miss because theres no one porting it currently. Or at least i believe at this moment.

Yes, you can use stock camera, other camera apps (eg Instagram and snapchat etc.)
I have a problem with this port. HDR processing stops halfway or in 3/4 of process and the picture doesn't get saved. I tested few versions on clean installation of the newest Arrow OS and Havoc OS. It's useless and I have to stick with stock PIE beta. If the HDR would work I could use this for back cam and stock camera port for front and I would be good to go on custom roms. If this won't work, its still a dealbreaker for me...
