Develop Bugs

[DISCUSSION] What Google Camera are you guys using?

Since the old thread aren't responsive anymore, here's a new thread. You can discuss and share anything about Google Camera for Redmi 5 Plus, including the version you're using, the bugs, the fixes or anything else.
Btw I'm currently using back.rider's latest Google Camera. It works pretty well on my device.
Download: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1_defaultjpg.apk
Bugs: Photobooth aren't working, front portrait aren't working, HDR+ and HDR+ enhanced aren't working.
Fixes: Idk if there's any fix for our device, but if there's anyone capable of making a fix by editing the .lib file, that would be good too.
Hopefully everyone can contribute something in this thread.

Saneklic one has green tint on the rear camera, especially if u tap the shutter rapidly. You'll see green tint bug in the photo viewer. :crying:
I think that the green tint bug happens on all gcam version 5.1, no matter who's the developer. I tested gcams from almost all developers but none really fixes the green tint bug.
However, changing to gcam version 6.1 does make a difference. There's no more green tint bug, but the front HDR+ and portrait mode won't work (until the future update from xiaomi fixes it or any developer edit the lib file in the system folder). At least, it's good for daily use

I'm using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk after playing around with saneklic and arthur versions, Arnova is the best.

Strange i never had any green tint

make any small change in the app settings, for example toggle camera sound or save location button and the tint will go away. its an quite a common issue and easily fixable.

Nope, still doesn't work. Changing the settings didn't fix the problem. Is it just me or anyone else experience the same thing? This is really weird and I'm looking forward for a fix.

Use san1ty's GCam 6.1.021 for potter. Works flawlessly except for front cam HDR (omnivision).

damn im late but it happens to me only with hdr+ off. I found a version that has all features working, with night sight on android Q(10) so if anyone is interested ill post the link.

[11/2/19] AutoFoco running Gcam For Pie My A1!

Remove "http://www." from the link (like dropbox.com instead of http://www.dropbox.com). If it also doesn't help, replace "." with "[dot]" (like dropbox[dot]com instead of dropbox.com). That way you can post a link.
It is simple limitation for new users on XDA. You can ask moderators (by reporting your own OP) by asking them to remove limitations for you to share links to be useful for users. If you use it badly (spamming and/or breaking any rule) you will get penalized.

There are some mods with autofocus working, but HDR doesnt work on them. An example, bsg_test_8.1, and if you try any configureable mod, setting as hdr model 'pixel HW YUV' and image output 'YUV' fixes autofocus but breaks HDR (some apks dont take the pic at all, some others take green pics like whatsapp cam, with no hdr processing. It seems like HDR is breaking focus.
The real problem is finding one with both, autofocus AND hdr working... But im losing all hope.

I haven't lost all hope just because new Xiaomi phones have the same problem. If someone fix the problem for the new models (like note 7) I think we might have a chance here.

Delete

stop give false illusions, it seems that autofocus issue is a kernel related bug, this app does the same as the others

Picture Quality / Help in choosing a ROM

Hi, I was on the official build (MIUI) of Note 5 pro, however the pictures seemed like they were oil paintings, and did not look good at all, so I decided to install a custom ROM, hoping it'd help solve this issue, since the picture seemed to be using the beauty mode, even though I turned it off. I installed the pixel experience ROM, however the picture quality still is pretty bad, I was wondering if there is any custom ROM which would help solve this problem and give a good picture which doesn't look like an oil painting, lol.
Thanks in advance.

A working Gcam for our phone, because we deserve it:
BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by BSG.

(always use this version: org.codeaurora.snapcam)
Compared to the stock camera, the shutter is faster and the colours are somewhat more vibrant. Haven't had a chance to compare night modes yet.
If you have an XML setup to recommend, please do share.

Weird how 4K 60fps only works on the ultrawide camera and not the main camera.

Is there any gcam mod that allows to record 8k and 4k/120fps? BTW I tried many mods and I did not find any with all functionalities available: all cameras, motion photos, night sight etc. If motion photos available, only single camera can be used, etc.
I also don't understand why they decided to remove all languages other than English from all mods. Original Gcam supports many languages.

Not at the moment, as far as I know but our device's release happend less than a month ago so the development is still in early stages. BSG is quite fast at updates so hopefully it'll eventually happen.

I guess that way is much more simple and if that's the trade-off for faster updates than I'm very happy with it.

What is much more simple? Additional languages strings are original from Google, no need to touch them. Of course, additional custom settings will appear in English only, because they won't be translated.
Additional effort required to remove all translations. So it's opposite to what you are saying

That's the package signature. On some phones, using the Snapcam one allows access to the auxiliary cameras (ultrawide, telephoto).

I think so, yes. I read Snapcam is recommended for phones from BBK-owned smartphone brands. However keep in mind a brand could "block" the access to auxiliary cameras at any moment. For example Samsung blocked access to the selfie camera, so in GCam ports, the selfie camera just does not work on Samsungs... Not sure if they have fixed it, but I know it's been a problem for Samsung users.

I don't think there's a way to track it, just gotta visit the celsoazevedo page from time to time. Although most updates are minor, so don't worry about that.

You can download a XML file, and import it to the GCam app. It will import settings from the file, so if you find a XML file for the 9 Pro BSG Gcam port, just download it and import it via the app. Also you can create XML files yourself, and share them if you want as well.

Some manufacturers have even coded things to prevent third-party cameras from using the phone's full camera resolution capabilities. On OnePlus devices they could be locked to 12 MP, even the main camera.

Nothing, really. They just have different signatures. If you find that certain additional modules (Magisk flashables that add or enhance a device's camera functions) don't work, try the other. Some devices have a camera version signed specifically for them (ie, Samsung phones) because of this. It just happens that the snapcam signature seems to work best on our device.

I'm having some nasty issues with a strong lilac purple pink RAW files from Gcam recently. It makes it unusable. It worked fine before but suddenly this problem started happening, perhaps it came after a system update. :/

We'll, it's not a secret that Google's image processing slightly saturates the colours and beautifies photos. Not a bad thing imho.

General default camera so much better then Gcam my review

ok let me start custom roms blow stock out of the water but the only thing that made me go back to stock was the camera app , in my opinion gcam struggles to focus I do consider myself a a photography pro , that being said , i love the performance of the customs roms overstock , hands down, but the default camera is the deal breaker in my opinion, g-cam struggles to focus , especially in macro mode , I do hope some one port the ANX camera to a custom rom ... just my 2 cents and I tried them all Gcam / configs so save your breath...

I agree, the stock cam is just better, more convenient and faster imo. Luckily for me I dont care much about photos.

Sorry I got that wrong.

It's true, thanks to a user of this forum that I don't remember the name I was able to use the Gcam for normal and night photos but the macros are still a problem.
Another thing that is making me think about going back to Stock ROM is that there is no support and continuity of updates.

I really love the stock camera too. But for Macros or really close photos it can't focus could you give me a tip, to improve it.

Does any custom rom support the stock camera app?

Hi,
right after taking the picture the app closes, the picture is saved but every time I have to reopen the app. If I take a photo in night mode the app closes and the photo is not saved.
I also have Gcam installed can there be a conflict?
