Have anyone tried the port of the google camera yet?
I installed on latest LOS and did not work.... Please share the rom version if this apk happens to work for you.
Thanks!
Google camera need api 2, i don't think it gonna work without some massive hacking
Even it's not working with Stock Nougat ZUI also?
Same results here, ViperOS, bummer that maybe it will never work on this device
even with version 4.2 it didn't work, but its works on my redmi 4x with version 4.2
Works with my Oneplus 3 but not zuk z2 with aexo 4.4
Only RR5.8.3 has support for camera API 2
Latest Indian ZUI, didn't work. Perhaps in a future update

report, stoped on rr 583 20170710, with magisk instaled
Aex 4.5 is a no go. Doesn't even open viewfinder. I've tried adding the API line to the build prop, still no success!
Possible to enable Camera2 API?
So there is a new thread on XDA:
https://www.xda-developers.com/camera2api-magisk-module-enables/
A magisk module to enable Camera2 API. However, it may not work if the camera blobs in the ROM does not support Camera2 API.
There are apps called Camera2 Probe on the play store that can detect if camera2 API is enabled or supported on a device. People can use it to check if its supported on Lenovo Z2 Plus. I tried it on my stock version, and it is not supported.
Maybe the magisk modules will enable it in the custom ROMs.

The Magisk module only changes 1 line in the build prop and no it Doesn't work on AICP I tried doing the same thing by editing the build.prop
Also I have made a petition on change.org for ZUK To implement proper API 2 and HAL3 Support
Somebody filed a petion and It worked with Sony but we'd will need a lot of signatures for anyone to take notice.

Expecting the company to do anything especially for a phone, that flopped in its major markets is pointless.
According to the Camera2 API probe apps, by default there is no support for HAL3 in Z2. I am unsure if this is a hardware level feature or a software.
If it indeed is software based then the only option is to change the default camera blobs to ones that support HAL3/camera2 from some other phone maybe...
camera 2 API Required by Google camera to work.
Need rom that support camera to API. Means baked into code.
Unless someone(or lenovo) write new camera drivers, hdr+ never gonna work for our device. Even tho i'm pretty sure we can make google camera 4.4 work, because only hdr+ need api 2. Google camera 4.1 works well for me btw.

There is no API2 hardware support in the camera blobs in the kernel even with the recent update for the aforementioned camera blobs.

Yes, because lenovo didn't code any support for api2. Or maybe sensor doesn't support api2 at all=(
The developer who ported the app said it should work on all devices with 820. I tried on RR latest build and it crashes. I also tried Oneplus camera app, but it crashes too.

On 4pda developer said himself that it won't work without api 2. This camera from oneplus works fine for me https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/port-oxygenos-stock-camera-cm-t3451721

I tried flashing zip through both magisk and twrp but it's not enabling api2, it's still saying "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled [0]".

Type "getprop | grep camera" in terminal.
I found a strange thing here, "camera.disable_zs1_mode [1]". Will anybody tell me what this is, and if it has anything to do with gcam4.4 HDR+

Hi bro .zsl is zero shutter lag . since z2 holds a Samsung sensor it comes with ZSL mode . Fortunately CamAPI2 is not a hardware limitation, but I am pretty sure ZUK will never going to release it. It require lots of resources, they had to change the whole architecture on ROM. I though they give it in Nougat, but they didn't included it. And they are not going to release any other update.
Forget about Gcam HDR+ it is never going to happen.
App atleast didnt crash
Version 5.1 or something port for the nexus with zsl
Started and didnt crash but was unable to access the camera
Atleast it didn't crash like other ports
I am using aicp rom august release
Hi everybody,
I have experienced a time of this google camera port and found it quite stable, no crash.
And I decided to share it with everyone
It runs fine on Lineages, Mokee, AOSP Rom and MIUI
Note: ** Your phone has root and activate camera2api.zip file here

In order to use the excellent Google Camera features ( HDR+ and etc.) you need to have Camera2 API Enabled, to do that you need root.
Otherwise you can just install some basic google camera with sub-optimal performance.
Does front camera HDR+ and portrait mode work?
I remember my Redmi 5 plus worked in portrait mode but no front cam HDR+
But now my phone is bricked, so I can't test it

Noup, i tried every GCam apk under the sun. No luck.
I can live with that but main reason i keep my stock camera around is because the front flash doesn't work on GCam...

yes, but you should turn off hdr mode in portrait mode
There are 2 versions here. If you use the first version, you will use the portrait mode normally. If you use the second version, during use you must turn off the hdr mode in portrait mode
I just checked it thoroughly. The first version is compatible with all roms. The second version is compatible with MIUI
I have no idea why, but Arnova V2 crashes a lot. I'm using latest EU stable rom.

Wrong. No root needed, just setprop hal3 = 1 in twrp adb shell Mode. Using gcam without root here, miui eu 9.5.4.0
blinking the camera2api.zip the camera stock is uninstalled? If not, how do I remove the camera stock?

Can you please add a new link thanks
GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash - I use it for Front Camera | Everything works, requires good config, flash works, no night-sight.
GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18 - I use It for certain conditions not always so It's not recommended but It's ok to have it!!
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.4a_TlnNeun - It's the best GCAM for Vince, Night Sight, HDR+ Enhanced, Portrait on People,
Requires Good Config, has 5 Libraries in order from Google to Xtreme!

As everyone was asking for some guides and fixes of the Google Camera on our Mi Note 3 device, I decided to help you out with a guide and all necessary resources to get it working.
First of all, for people new to Google Camera, follow @dimi89 's guide as an introduction to all processes needed to achieve a working camera port.
To make it simple, you need to:
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP or boot it through fastboot (there are plenty of guides here)
Install Magisk systemless root through TWRP recovery
Flash my fixes module below to enable Camera 2 API and make front camera working as desired
Install the best APK for you from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Be happy
Until now, we had it working but some features like Portrait mode, front camera HDR+ and portrait, plus front camera flash were missing.
With the help of @defcomg I managed to make a Magisk Module as a bundle that does both enabling Camera2API and adds necessary libs to fix the camera. You can download it below.
As per the apk of the GCam on your device, I recommend latest Arnova8G2 version. You can also find it at the bottom of this post. It is great and does not require any other settings after you apply the fix in Magisk.
Downloads here:
-Camera2API, Portrait mode + HDR on front camera fix (MAGISK MODULE) - https://mega.nz/#!M5gjSQxJ!K5Q4XmdRimI_x2xpOWexHR52qUi5sklOV7SVhWWo9RE
-Stable and autoconfig GCam - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...eCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
For any other questions, feel free to ask me.
IMPORTANT!! The fix for front cam may not work with all ROMs. It was tested on the following:
XIAOMI.EU Stable 9.5.4.0
XIAOMI.EU Stable 9.2.x.x
XIAOMI.EU Developer 8.3.22
Lineage OS
AOSP Extended
You can test it on your device on your own risk. If it does not work you can delete module from magisk.
Credits to @defcomg for the help with the library, @WebDingo for the magisk module and @Arnova8G2 for the amazing work with all GCam ports. Also crediting other developers for their great additions to this community.
Enjoy!
Great job
Great job Gcam now works very well, the only thing I noticed is that is laggy at times in portrait mode. Is it normal?
will it work on my mi5s?
Thank you, its working! Mi Note 3 xiaomi.eu 9.5.4.0

Thanksss. With arnova v6 (and this beta) works fine. So I've a problem but...you have 60 FPS video? For me is ever 30 FPS and I search in every part of the web the way to have got 60 FPS in full hd. For me is very important. If you know a way, please tell me (also use another new custom ROM). Thanks

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.

Please list all ROMs other than stock where camera works out of the box flawless without the need to install magisk or stuff like that. Also other apps like the moto cam or gcam should work well too. Thanks.
