Google Camera not working after update (LineageOS 15.1) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, I updated the camera app on play store, but after that it never worked anymore. When I open it, it gets stucked in a black screen with the camera logo in the center of the screen and then crashes. Can somebody please help me to fix this issue? Thanks in advice

Latest Google Camera (or version installed with gapps) only works on google devices (and maybe android one).
That is why there is GCam Ports available, and to make these work, you need to downgrade gapps to version that doesn't include Google Camera (Pico/Nano). Otherwise they will conflict even if you remove the app with TiBu etc.

Thank you very much! And how can I downgrade gapps? I have the super package

Dirty flash a smaller gapps package, be careful with what launcher your using because it maybe removed in the process.
Backup before hand just in case other google apps your using get removed. Reinstall from backup or play.
As for Gcam Port, i use this version from this thread.
As another alternative look at Mi A2 camera port for access to duel camera features.

Let me know if I got it: to downgrade the package, I only have to install a smaller package and it will automatically remove the bigger one? Is there a tutorial for it?

Okay, I managed to do everything right. But now I have another problem. The camera that you sent to me, crashes when I try to open the front camera. So I tried a bunch of other cameras, and the only one that works is the Arnovas, even if it doesn't save the selfies with hdr+ activated and when I try to take a selfie with flash at night, I only get a black image. This is the one that has less problems :laugh:

[Q] Photosphere and Panorama not working

Hi guys and gals,
I've never tried to use photospheres or panorama mode on my phone before and decided to give it a whirl yesterday. It didn't work. It was just a gray screen with dots/rectangle telling me to move the circle into the bigger circle. I can move the circle and "gray dot world" around but that's it. My current rom is CM11 official nightlies (I update it every day or two). I've tried reflashing gapps (with the .forcegallery file in place), removing gapps, using the 4.4.4 micro module gapp, the aroma installer for photosphere fix, some other xda thread's JB photosphere zip, reflashing to stock, reflashing to other ROMs, downloading google camera from the play store, and doing all of the previous gapp stuff on all of those ROMs. I'm completely at a loss for what to do next. Any ideas? Photosphere and panorama are the only things wrong with the stock camera and everything else is fine. It isn't a big deal but would be nice to get it working!

Find and install the latest "Banks" GAPPS package. When you DL google cam from the market it doesn't install as system and I think that's the problem.
Ok, just did a search and realized that Banks has stopped making GApps packages but explains a bit in the thread why and gives a pointer. He also says that the zips will be available still for awhile.

When I used his packages I always had photosphere working.

Thanks but unfortunately that hasn't been working. I've been using the 8-11 standard release (and also the gallery/old camera micromodule when that inevitably fails to fix it).

You have tried Banks GApps and not PA GApps? Or both?
It very well could be a kernel issue. I am not sure because it has been awhile since I tried CM, but have you tried a different kernel?
Solid kernel or f93 kernel should work with gproj CM11 (that's the official sources used).
It should work on any GEE rom as well but the camera quality is a kind of poor although there is a fix in progress for that.
I would suggest a clean flash, Banks GApps that include the Google camera (standard) and nothing extra as far as camera/gallery and then see what happens.

Tried both unfortunately. Thank you for the kernel idea, I hadn't thought of that. I think I will keep an eye out and wait for them to fix the camera quality first because right now my camera is perfect other than the gimicky photosphere thing I wanted to try. I'll try and remember to update this thread to provide a fix when I find it.

There wasn't any need to clear data for me. Loaded the module, restarted the phone, opened Google Photos and force-closed/killed it, reopened Google Photos and Google Lens was there.
The issue is most definitely at your end since the module has been working fine for me, my testers and all the people who've posted in this thread.

Please make sure that you're using the correct module zip for your Magisk version. If you use the wrong module zip for your Magisk version, it might end up in a bootloop, so.

This is supposed to work only after we take a picture, right? It doesn't work if we open the camera and let google lens do it's work?
I am currently running Magisk 14.3 and i flashed v14.3 of google lens, but whenever i am opening google photos it's Force-closing every time.

Camera? Where did that come from? It works in Google Photos. Google Camera has got nothing to do with Google Lens. Basically, take a picture (from any Camera app), it'll get saved and will appear in Google Photos. Open that picture there and you will see a Lens button at the bottom.

Make sure you don't have any substratum theme overlays applied to Google Photos. If you don't have a theme/it still doesn't work after removing the theme and restarting, you can try clearing the data and cache of Google Photos from the settings and restarting your phone before launching Google Photos again. Good luck! :good:
Thanks for this module... v14 works perfectly on my OP5

Google camera mod?

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.

All credit goes to #AEonAX for his ANXcamera port and Me
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.

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.
I'm on PE ROM caf edition.

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 .

Question Are camera Apps limiting custom ROMs?

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
