I have searched on the web, but can not seem to find the answer as to whether or not the pixel supports vulkan API. Every article that keeps popping up is in regards to the galaxy series. Does anybody know whether it's supported or not?

The vulkan api is native in Nougat. Problem is there aren't any games that really support it. Vainglory has a beta out but I can't download it on my 6p
I thought it was supposed to be native as well. So I downloaded need for speed no limit. When compared to the vid they showed at Google conference, my game doesn't look like that lol.

Got some questions since I bought device device recently. I've been using a Xiaomi MI5s for quite a while now - this one has got a 64bit system, so a) Camera2API and b) the Google Camera with HDR is working just fine. So I learned Moto is STILL using 32bit for this and other devices so the recent Google Cameras with HDR+ will NEVER work with this.
Might this change with the release of Oreo 8.0 on the Moto Z2 Play? Or do you guys think Moto will still be using 32bit with this?
Asking, because the low-light-performance with this Z2 Play is WAY worse compared to my MI5S with Google Camera and HDR+ enabled - it's a world's difference. This I use this mobile on the go and like to have quality snapshots with me, I might be dropping this one again because of this - although, despite this issue - I like it a lot!
Any ideas?
So.. got a reply from Motorola.
Android 8.0 for the Z2 Play will stay at 32bit - no 64bit OS for this phone planned. Only for the Z2 Force Models, which have 64bit already.
Guess I'll sell the Play again, then..
[deleted]
Google Camera with HDR+ functionality. As I stated already, low light performance isn't that great with the Z2 - so Google Camera Modded would allow this one to be WAY more detailed / sharp / etc, as the stock cam would.
But Google Camera with these features is 64bit ONLY. Which means, if this one stays at 32bit, we can never get GCAM MOD working..

Try this, see if touch/autofocus works. it's based on gcam 4.2.xx arm 32b version.
Edit : needs camera api 2 enabled by build.prop if crashes. add below line to build.prop.

hi! thanks for your support! camera hal has been enabled by me before.
your version works.. but only partially. hdr seems to work, too. but the results
are not usable nor is the handling. touching the camera button, it takes about 10 seconds
before the actual photo is done.. and it also works only 1 of 5 times. in 4 times it doesn't take
a picture at all. and the result is washed out..
are there other versions i could test? do you know that?
thanks again!
Just lower iso a bit and increase speed using professional mode, you'll get better image, but need steady hand
Use automatic mode for iso and speed reference
on my bike z2 Play does not work, it does not have root, do I need root to install this APK?

Hello. Thank you for your work. The wide-angle camera and macro work fine in HDR + mode, the main camera does not want to start, the black screen
hdr works on the specified cameras. Enters settings only if the main camera is on. thanks for the work
low contrast, unlike miui camera

As of now I'm not sure whether gcam can fully work on Mediatek device. Main camera has blackscreen as of now. HDR+ seems to work on Wide and Macro, but it needs further testing.
As I don't have this device, I can't check by myself whether some functions are working good or not. Feel free to test everything carefully Logs (from app on phone or adb logcat), and photo comparisons with stock camera app would be appreciated

Are you developer?
You understand coding and developing?
Can you give us answer to one question,and help us all..
This Mediatek chipset , is possible to develop custom ROMs? This chipset is no different than the others..
So if possible to create ,develop ROMs, Kernel and other stuff?
Thanks in advance.

First of all thank you for your efforts.
I tried to test your version. Here you'll find the logcat output. I filtered using grep com.google.android.apps.camera to avoid too much noise. If you need specific test please tell me which steps i had to perform.
Hope this helps.

Hey, I'm gcam modder, not rom developer
It is possible to develop custom roms, kernels, and "other stuff" but it would be better to have full kernel source from xiaomi

ps: sorry OP for off topic
I dont know how to get the logs, but I can describe overall workability.
As said: when option RAW_SENSOR checked in FIX settings, there are full working HDR+ and HDR+ Enchanced on aux Camera - Wide and Macro, and on the front camera.
With alternative config Night Sight is also working, on three cameras. So as the Portrait Mode.
Also capture RAW-dng, seems to be ok.
Noticed issues:
Crash on video
Crash when trying to get to Settings from aux cameras, but if in Aux Cameras settings check the switch "Disable Settings Mode", button Settings is still present and there is no crash anymore.
There are problems with initialization of aux cameras. They starting from time to time. It can be a black screen or loading animation or non-active shutter button. Switch to Front Camera and back helps in 95% of cases.
Problem with deinitialization of camera session. Safety app is sending notification that "The Camera is using Camera in the background", even if forcibly shutdown gcam through the app manager. It causes another system bug, with the notification LED blinking or constantly on with no visible reason..
For now, all that I tested or remembered
What is the use of advanced sensors in redmi note 8 pro when there is no Gcam developers for this mediatek processor RN8 PRO!!!!
Thanks for posting...
I try fastly...
I'm on european model
Can't have anything with wide angle/macro.
Picture from main camera is visible in background when going on "Plus"
App crashs when going on "video"
App crashs when activate wide angle/macro and going on "plus"

You need to change to RAW_SENSOR in fix menu
Also there is an xml for rn8pro which will fix lag in viewfinder
Oh yes...thanks you...
It's Ok...
I take some macro and wideangle pictures
In most cases Gcam is better :
- captures more détails
- hasn't some unreal AI process you can find on Xiaomi's cam
- most time, better colors
But in one case, I get crazy colors on macro.
This one is better with Gcam :

Amazing details on Gcam...even if lights were yellow (Closer to stock's) and not white.
I had some problem to launch Gcam...I had to Erase data and reconfigure
when shooting during the day, it often highlights a blue or purple tint.
Can't even get the camera to initiate within the app. It shows in the background only on the "More" tab. Also, app crashes when location setting toggled off.
OnePlus limits which sensors Google Camera mods can access in OxygenOS 12
By Arol Wright
For years, non-Pixel phones have been able to enjoy some of Google's camera magic, thanks to Google Camera ports/mods. Because a good part of the Pixel camera experience comes down to software, developers have figured out ways to bring parts of that experience to other devices. Among the root-and-ROM crowd, it's a popular practice that can let you enjoy Pixel camera features and enhanced processing on non-Pixel devices. Now a seemingly arbitrary restriction by OnePlus will keep Google Camera mods (and all third party camera apps) from accessing auxiliary cameras on the company's phones.
If you aren't familiar with the concept, a handful of popular developers (including folks like cstark27, BSG, and Arnova8G2) port and modify versions of the Pixel's Google Camera app to third-party devices. It can take some research to track down a version that plays nice on your particular phone, and there are usually a couple broken features and some bugs, but you can often get much better photo results from these modified camera apps than you can on the app your phone shipped with, as well as enjoy some of those Pixel-specific camera features on your non-Pixel phone.
As of OxygenOS 12, the auxiliary cameras (read: the non-primary ultrawide, macro, or telephoto lens) are no longer accessible outside of OnePlus' own camera app, as reported on the Google Camera Port Updates Telegram group. This means that if you were to install a Google Camera mod on your OnePlus phone running Android 12, you'd only be able to use the primary camera/sensor with it. And, if it wasn't clear, that means other apps won't have access to the other sensors either, including those you might download from the Play Store.
The OxygenOS 12 update that delivers this change has already been controversial among fans for other reasons. Not only is it essentially just Oppo's ColorOS with a handful of OnePlus-specific tweaks, but it's also absolutely loaded with bugs, something that eventually made OnePlus halt the update's rollout.
Notably, this auxiliary camera restriction is also present in Oppo phones running ColorOS. While it's unfortunate, that could mean the change is intentional, and we might not see this behavior revert back to a GCam-friendly practice if and when the update starts rolling out again.
If you have a OnePlus phone and want to keep using a Google Camera port or mod with all of your phone's sensors, consider holding off on the OxygenOS 12 update when it starts rolling out again. And if OnePlus doesn't bring the feature back, you can always try a ROM — they're relatively easy to install on OnePlus phones.

I've used some version of GCAM for a while now i found worked with all three cameras decently enough but i got to it trough trial and error and now that i am flashing a newer ROM i would like to upgrade GCAM too anyways.
So what do you guys use and/or recommend?
It doesnt have to be GCAM specifically but its the only one i found to have enough features while remaining simple.
I would have loved to use Simple Camera or the GrapheneOS Camera but i paid for all three cameras imma use all three lol.
I think I could also configure any GCAM version to work with this phone but i am not sure its possible or how to.
Love yall
