I have installed a stable Custom Rom CFW (evolution x 7.4) OFFICIAL, everything seems to work correctly except the front camera, it does not recognize that it has one and no third party application that can use the camera can not use it either.
I tried to install other cameras but the front camera does not seem to work
Does anyone know why? or if there is a solution for this?
and another question: what is the difference between CFW 10 and CFW 11, which should i install?
why some versions of CFW say "Vendor" and others not?
im noob on this phone and xiaomi platforms.
I hope you can help me understand, thank you very much...

Hey guys, I just wanted to know does Z2 play supports Google camera with portrait mode?
I tried few apks but not even one is getting installed.
I'm using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk. Can't post the link to the site as I'm new here and the forum won't let me, but you should be able to find it by the filename.
It's based on Google Camera 5.1.018. I haven't had any luck getting newer versions to install, but that one works fine, including Portrait mode, Lens Blur and Photosphere. I had to disable video stabilisation, otherwise video recording would crash. If front camera gives a green tint, there's a setting to fix that in Advanced -> Fix Camera API2.

Do you have an older version of Google Camera installed? If so, try uninstalling it first. Also, are you on Oreo? Many GCam ports seem to require at least Oreo and won't work on Nougat.

Gcam mod it doesn't work on 32 bits. You need custom 64bit roms
Right, I neglected to mention I'm running LineageOS 15.1 on my Z2 Play.

I've only had my Z2P for less than two weeks, but it's been perfectly stable so far. Can't really compare with stock ROM because I flashed it to LOS on day 1.

Is this for moto z2 play stock ROM ?
Recently installed POSP CFW coming from MIUI Stock. The only real problem right now is camera quality.
Is there any way or app to use all the sensors or take better pictures?
Tried last Gcam from celsoazevedo.com without success (just installed and run, don't know if there's something more to do)
Thanks in advance
Did you try this gcam?

Yes, that's the version I tried. Sadly, after a day trying a lot of versions and configurations, goind back to stock miui 12
Wow, I had good experience with that gcam on some GSI ROMs I tested, wonder if it's the MIUI 12 vendor causing your issues. I'd try some GSI's instead.
I think the reason for this is because the global variant has a different sensor for the front cam. I read somewhere before that I need to flash something to fix this. How do I do this exactly?
Do you have problems in stock rom? That's new.
If you are talking about custom roms you only need the recovery (and you already have it because you have needed it to install the rom).
Check the pixel experience thread because the other day I put the file you need.

I'm looking now how to install a custom recovery. Do I just have to flash only the file you linked and nothing else? Also, I don't have a problem with my stock rom.
Flash evolution x Rom there you have gcam working fine and patch for global version. I have all this and front camera looking so much better that miui.

Is there a custom rom similar to miui and that also fixes all the gcam-related problems? I don't want to ditch miui because I really like it because of features like dual apps, second space, app locker, native scrolling screenshot, etc.
Hello everybody!
I have downloaded and installed Lineage OS on my Poco F3.
It's a great device but there are some software problems that really bugs me (proximity sensor is a mess, some GUI element are not good for usability, the "everything you need, nothing you don't" thing and then the phone is full of useless apps that i don't need...)
Lineage OS solved all of my problems except for one: the camera.
I'm realizing that there is no real alternative for the native camera app because it offers you the full potential of the hardware with all the features.
Don't get me wrong: i tried Open Camera, GCam Port and other popular apps.
Really good projects but there is always something missing or not working.
In addition on Lineage some camera apps are just not available on the Play Store (for example Footej Camera... using another store, dumping the APK from another device... all useless... the app will recognize my device as not compatible).
Why is that?
Lastly i even tried to install the stock APK on Lineage without success.
What is your opinion on that?
What are the software limitations involved?
Is this a limiting factor for you?
What camera app do you use?
Best regards.
I'm not someone who uses camera that much but I can tell you that I totally agree with people who think that native camera is the best. I use Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and there is no alternative to camera which comes originally. That's one of the reasons why I tend to use ROMs with camera very close to stock one or even the same like stock one.
Lineage is known to cripple cameras.
you sound pretty knowledgeable, so i'm probably not offering much here... but, ANXCamera (miui camera port) is being worked on for our device, as far as i can tell... the following is copied from T.Gram... may show promise later on, but for now it's not fully functional
How get ANX working (partially)—
1. Download the MiUI Core from here (MOD EDIT: Link Removed)
2. Download the latest ANX (full version modded for R) from here (https://camera.aeonax.com/)
3. Flash the MiUI Core and ANX Zip through Magisk
4. Reboot
5. Paste the device-feature XMLs (MOD EDIT: Link Removed) in–
/storage/.ANXCamera/features/
6. Download ANXCamera Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aeonax.camerapro) from the Play Store and use it to enable all the desired features in ANX.
What doesn't work for now:
UW, Macro and 48MP
At this point, there are several ROMs with OOS camera, and a few without. The ones without, there are camera versions you can install but they don't have the auxiliary cameras available. At least not on EvolutionX. I can't seem to find any way to make them work either. I've tried several app versions and obtained a very recent OOS 13 fingerprint and setup device simulation props, and only the primary camera is detected. I even went as far as trying to use an installer for older OOS camera apps with a current OOS camera app, but I can't get it working. Tried looking at the CRDroid files and I can't see what they did either. I'm not a programmer nor an expert with ROMs but from what I can gather, I'd just need the right system or system_ext files, and maybe a particular app version, then I don't see why I couldn't compile a Magisk module similar to others I've found.
I would be interested too, nice question man
+1 from my side!
The final answer is NO.
OOS camera requires tons of OS side changes. Installing just the APK won't work at all. Porting an OOS camera to custom ROMs was already a mess and a complex thing.
The ROMs that don't include the OOS camera require additional commits/changes.
