7.1.2 will work fine with front and rear potrait and video recording too.
The version which is most stable and i use is "GcamMod5 from arnova v1.6"
And rom i use is lineageos official
Smooth best in performance too!
Rom is your choice but 7.1.2 based roms are best for modded gcam!

Did you flashed any fix to enable HAL 3 Or just directly flashed the GCAM ?

I don't know about magisk module fix
But i do it like this:
1. Install the app from playstore called "build.prop editor"
2. Give root access to the app
3. Tap edit icon. Go to the last line and add without quotes "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1"
4. Save it and reboot. Done.
I'm sure that module of magisk must contain this line and add it to the correct file
So what i said is manually enabling it.
Flashing that module will reduce your work!

add this code to ur build prop file usin a root file explorer like es and reboot :-
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
or search for camera 2 api magisk module on google and flash it
and for ROM I'd suggest viper os v3.1.1 Android v7.1.2
most stable and customizable rom available for our land in my view ?

Use viper os 7.1.2 aroma best rom .

TBH I think GCAM performance in 7.1.2 better than 8.1

Camera2api not working

i have redmi note 5 pro and i have installed lineage os on it thst is with oreo. but i am not able to use google camera and camera2api is also not working. i tried every file and flash but its not working. please help me for this.

Gcam not working on RR rom for me. But on global beta it is working fine.

If u flash stock gapps package for unknown reasons it won't work.Flash gapps micro package.You do not need to enable camera2api by adding the lines in build.prop or flashing a flashable zip as RR comes with c2api enabled by default.On lineage os I am not sure whether c2api is enabled by default.. You can check it by downloading an app from playstore namely "Manual camera compatibility". If everything is green ticked then u r good t go.If installing RR just clean install RR and then flash micro gapps and when the phone boots just insatll gcam by bsg like any other apk and you should be good to go. Everything should be technically same for lineage as RR is based on lineage. Hope it would solve your issue

Camera2api not working for me on miui pro global.

New gcam is not starting in my Lenovo p2 which has unofficial lineage os 16

I had recently installed the unofficial lineage os 16.
I had installed open gapps which already came with a gcam. But it didn't had many functionalities. It didn't had portrait mode etc.
I then tried to install latest modded gcam v 5.1.23. I also tried to install various other version. When I start the app it suddenly crashes.
I checked if I had camera API 2 so I found that I had full camera API 2.
I am not able to get the problem.
Thanks in advance.

GCam not running on Havoc OS 2.9

So, I just flashed Havoc OS 2.9 today from Pixel Experience which was really cool but the GCam app wouldn't work there. I flashed Havoc hoping GCam would work.
Havoc OS 2.9 already had GCam version 2.x pre installed. So I updated to 4.x from Play Store which had no functions at all.
I've tried almost all GCam, none worked but GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.apk. I don't know why this version only worked.
I need help to fix this. Cam2API is enabled.

1. Havoc OS 2.9 Doesn't Come with GCam But Snap Camera as per as my knowledge.
2. You are not supposed to update Gcam From Playstore. Gcam is officially supported by Pixel Devices Only
3. If you have Indian Variant Try trCamera v5 - It has everything stable from Portrait Mode to Shooting at 60 FPS without zoom to front camera without the green tint and Night Sight with Astronomy Mode.
4. Or you can also try latest Gcam v6.2 From Arnova
Search in google about links of Telegram Channel called Gcam Whyred Official ( I don't know if i can provide the links so you have to figure that out yourself)
And make sure to apply the recommended settings mentioned in the post

Most of the gcam ports doesnt work on our phone which is sad. Still the Revolt 7.0 and Google Camera Go works and it will work without gapps too . I cant send links here coz I am new to XDA
Also make sure cam2api is enabled
