First off, does apps like Instagram use the camera app?
After updating to 4.3.1 (didn't do a wipe) I've had som issues with the camera, the rear camera does not work at all.

I got it too.
in the update file a some changes at:
keymaster / keystore
camera firmware
framework
services and telephony-common
what exactly has changed I do not know.
root + recovery need to be flashed again. but no problems.

That means I need a new camera app, right? The front facing camera works.
So the camera worked before with the same app? I would download some other ones to test it out. I also recommend a WIPE after doing the update.
Hey guys!
I'm learning Android app development and decided to put the skills I learnt to some use, so here it is-
This app is for people like me who prefer the higher exposure time of the Stock HAL in low light (brighter and less noisy photos), but at the same time want to use all the features of Sultan's HAL like 4K video, etc.
It can also be used if you want to compare the two HALs or decide to revert to Stock in the future (no need to dirty flash your ROM now!).
Features:
Switch between Stock and Sultan's HAL on the fly (no reboot required!)
Backup and restore Stock HAL files (no need of a revert zip now)
Launch your default Camera from within the app
Should work on all ROMs 5.1.1 and above (EDIT: It doesn't seem to be working on OOS. Will try to fix it in the near future).
Will even work when Sultan updates his HAL
WARNING: This app is designed to run only on a rooted OPX running Android 5.1.1 and above. It might break your camera if used on any other phone!
Installation Instructions:
Install the APK file
Dirty flash your current ROM (only if you have already flashed Sultan's HAL)
Press the Backup button in the app (Status should say "Not Installed" at this time)
Flash Sultan's HAL zip from recovery
Usage:
If you're performing a clean ROM install in the future, be sure to hit the backup button within the app before flashing Sultan's HAL.
If Sultan releases an update to his HAL, be sure to switch to his HAL from within the app before flashing the updated zip.
If for whatever reason you encounter any issues, dirty flash your ROM and follow the Installation instructions again. This should fix them.
Credits:
@Sultanxda for his awesome HAL!
Note: Neither Stock HAL files nor Sultan's HAL files are included in this app
Any bug fixes, feature requests and reviews are always welcome (I'll be working on it only when I have free time).
Finally, it goes without saying- I'm not responsible for any damage whatsoever caused to your device by using this app!

Really great work @ashwinpilgaonkar This will come in handy to a vast majority of people !
Great application and idea, good job, but for some reason when switching to stock HAL my camera apps stop working. I was following your instructions and flashed HAL after installing the app and backuping the old HAL. Any suggestions?
Wht if im usimg sultanrom?
WOW
nice idea.
Love it!

No, this wont work if you're using Sultan's ROM as it comes with the custom HAL pre installed. You would have to manually copy the Stock HAL files from CM13 for it to work.

Does this only happen when switching to Stock HAL? It works fine for me.
Which ROM are you using?
Try dirty flashing it and following the instructions once again.
where does it backup stock camera hal to?

It creates a copy with the extension of .stock in the same directory where it is originally located.

It only works with Sultan HAL and when switching to stock HAL, camera stops working. I am on CM13 Official latest nightly with bluspark kernel, xposed and supersu 2.65. First time I've tried it I had OOS 3.0.1 camera installed from the other thread. Then I dirty flashed without installing that camera and tried your app with the stock google camera from opengapps, still no luck. I really, really want this working on my phone

I have the same ROM and kernel as you and it's working fine for me. It doesn't look like anyone else is having any issues either.
Send me a screen record of the entire process. I maybe able to figure out whats going wrong.

This is great in theory and i've waited for something like this to hopefully be made in which I am very greatful for. However, I'm on rooted OOS 2.2.0 with Blue spark and the same issue occurs for me - It says action performed successfully when applying the Stock HAL, but when launching the camera app it says "Unknwon error".
I have tried clearing cache and data for the stock camera app, but no luck.

Same problem as him - "Unknown Error" in OOS camera and "Can't connect to the camera" in google camera. Tried cleaning cache aswell, even tried with cleaning davlik/cache after installing sultan HAL.
For some reason my screen recorder cuts the videos before I can't record everything, so I can't provide a video. I can extract logs or something if you need them?

Yeah my recorder stops too. Here's error though after applying https://youtu.be/ivviaicSa4I
Maybe a direct option to clear "camera App" data (not onlycache) could help.
I'm trying the MOD right now.
Edit : same problem for me.
I had to wipe camera app data, , launch it from drawer and then it worked.
Without that, camera app couldn't be launched from Hal Switcher.

I just tried this, still doesn't work for me unfortunately.
It doesn't matter what app it is so therefore I presume it's not just the stock camera app it's to do with something technical that can hopefully be fixed with a bit of tweaking.

This is kinda work in progress port of Gcam with hdr+ for arm devices. it's based on google camera version 4.2.035.141213305-arm.
it needs camera api 2 enabled. you can enable it via flashing the zip I've attached or add below line into build.prop.
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Stock rom is preferred, but it should work on all roms as long as above requirement is met.
Google camera apk
Please let me know if auto/touch focus works or not. happy testing :good:

Requires TWRP for flashing zip. or root for manually editing build.prop
rooted?

Since it requires flashing this file, I think root is required. Not sure if can be done without.

Hello
First of all thank you the thing is working great on aicp (13).
There seems to be no problem with touch to focus our HDR+. In fact I even tried it on copy is (android 8.0.0) and it kinda cured it of the camera bug.
Thanks again.
Post more.
Thanks again...
Working in LOS 15! Seems that it doesn't fall victim to the problem of freezing when trying to take more than one consecutive photo which is very nice! It has a few quirks such as only going up to about 9MP max resolution (due to being ported from a 9MP device?), a few of the features such as slow motion and panorama etc. are not working, and trying to use HDR+ with the front-facing camera crashes the app, but it seems that the point of this was just to get HDR+ working so I'd say it's working nicely! The image quality is great despite the loss of resolution, especially in low light and autofocus / touch to focus seems to be working fine! Thanks!
I was testing with Ressurection Remix 7.1.1 and the camera doesn't work.
Tried without editing the build.prop and crashed, flashed the .zip and not only the google camera didn't work, it also broke the other cameras (LO Camera and Moto Camera). Putting the value back to 0 restored functionality in both cameras but Google Camera is still not working.
Hope my feedback helps
Enabling api2 completely crashes my camera and makes my flashlight unusable, know why?
Could you please port the ar stickers for Moto g5.... tried too much.

HDR+ won't work without enabling camera 2api.
Root is required to manually enable camera 2api so you can probably just flash the zip by the dev and be done with it without rooting your device.
Nice port. Everything working fine on STOCK OPTIMIZED rom, except:
- HDR+ in Frontal Camera crashes the app
- Slow Motion crashes the app
- Sometimes the video recorder don't saves the video, don'ts show any message or error.
And for some uses that can't start app because it's crashing on start:
Reinstall system
Don't flash HAL3 zip
Start the rom, boot, insert your Google Credentials
after setting up the rom, restart your phone and flash the zip
after flashing the zip, install gcam apk as normal apk
that's all

And yes, touch to focus and auto-focus is working too. In video recorder the touch to focus works too.

Try it and report me back what is working and what is not.
Tested on Mokee latest 201906190631 nightly rom .
Every thing is working perfectly
Tested it. The camera works fine, the 48MP options working good. But always crashed on potrait mode camera.
IMHO, gcam had a better picture quality.
This mod replaces the default camera apps on installed. It means, your default camera apps will gone after flash this mod.
Any way to recover it?
Thanks anyway.
Good job devs.
Testing on PE Rom CAF Edition latest build.

Can u mention any other anx camera version in which portrait mode is working on your lavender?? Then I can make that version stable with 48Mp mod.

Yeah, for me the potrait mode made the apps crashed and when I open the camera again, it stays on potrait mode. So I can barely open the apps, the only way to recover it just with clear the storage of the apps. So the camera restarting the state, just like when opened for the first time.

Tried every lower version till v100
V98 cannot even open in photo mode.
So I'm guessing lower than that will not work anymore.
Every version till v100, none of them works in potrait mode.
The rom still on PE ROM CAF editions.
I flashed it in my Redmi note 7 Indian version and it broke everything the anxCamera says can't connect to the camera. GCam is crashing and WhatsApp is crashing while opening camera.

please change the rom and try something else like other caf based roms.And see if it works or not because in our violet some the people stated that they are having same portrait mode bug but after switching 1/2 roms they found everything working.I don't have lavender so u need to test. And portrait mode bug is reported on the official Camera mod too.So if they fix portrait mode u will have fully bugless camera app from me .
