Apologies if this has been asked before, I haven't been a regular here because of PE 9.0's excellent System Update feature.
Earlier (back in April 2018), I tried enabling HAL3 in build.prop to use GCam ports which resulted in my front camera not working in Skype/WhatsApp/Duo - a very important requirement for me as I do a lot of video calling. So, I switched back to stock PE ROM, without HAL3 enabled and have been using the stock Cam ever since.
I'm currently looking to test Gcams again as they are really exiting (Night Mode woot!) and wanted to know if the issue fixed now? Also, what is the best GCam version currently?

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I got my bootloader unlocked and after that, jnstalled the Pixel Experience. But, I found no gcam version working properly.
Reading here and miui forum, I realized that in some ROMs it is working like a charm (RR, for example).
So, im asking you guys, to comment here, which ROM are you using, and if it is working 100%.
Here:
ROM: Havoc OS.
Gcam: No HDR+ on front, black screen everytime.
Thank you all.

Doesnt matter which rom, indian RN5 works good with gcam, global/china RN5 doesnt have fully working gcam.
I'm using
- pixel experience 9.0 // August build
- Arnova's v8.1: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-07-22)
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk391
Magisk modules
- HAL3 enabler - camera2 API support (if you have PE extended you don't need this one)
- RN5 camera patch module
(@rn5cpm , telegram group where you can find the link for miui and pie and support the dev)
Optional
- OP3/3T front camera fix - Oreo
( It is the only module that allows me to use hdr+ and portrait mode with the front camera, without any bugs)
With this build everything works fine without (almost) any crash, even the 240fps slow motion.
Stock xiaomi camera works too, sometimes it crashes, but with the Google cam I don't think you'll need to use it again.
Edit - update
Sometimes when I take a picture with the front facing camera in hdr+ it might be all black, but if I take a picture with the back camera and then switch to the front one it works again. I know it's a little bit tricky and I still don't completely understand why it happens , but it works in this way and it's not a big issue to me.
Hi everyone,
I already searched here but since all the answers were "old" (like 6+ months), I thought I should start a new thread.
Yesterday I have flashed twrp and rooted my phone.
Afterwards I enabled camera2api in build.prop.
I have a problem, like a lot of you, that front camera saves only black photos.
I would like to use the portrait mode, since I have used it on RN4 and it was cool and the camera was "better" than MIUI stock camera.
Also, front flash doesnt work on gcam. Is there a fix for that?
I mean since we have the front flashlight, it would be cool if we could use it for flash selfies.
I'm currently running MIUI 10 Developer ROM.
Is maybe that a problem?
If so, which custom rom should I flash and do I have to do anything special?
Or is it just wipe everything (except data), flash rom, flash gapps?
Thanks!
bump. Front flash would be great. Ty
Special SerJo87 GCAM works really well. Front flash working but you have to disable HDR+ Enhanced or HDR+ sometimes to works on frontal camera.
After the Android 10 update, Gcam is no longer working.
How to fix it.
Mi A2 Lite
Have you checked if camera2 is working?
You must add persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 to build.prop in /system, that's what's missing.
Flash the attached zip in TWRP.
Hey! Is there a GCam with working front camera for Stock Android 10?
The ones I tried previously worked on custom ROMs but now all of them crash or not taking pictures.

Hdr was working on front as well on custom rom, I was talking about the fact that I was unable to take picture or gcam crash when I tried (even when hdr was disabled). Guess I messed up the cam2api enabling somehow. Anyways fixed since.
I currently have LOS 18.1 on oneplus 9 pro, the august 17th release and I don't have google services.
I'm wondering wheter there is a way of using the camera array properly as it would have been on oxygen OS. I mean, currently I can only use the main 48mpx camera and that's it. what I cannot do:
- using ultrawide camera lens
- recording more than 30 fps videos
I already tried Opencamera and Hedgecam2, none of them allows me to do that. gcam is out of the equation since I have no google services, but I strongly believe these issues are not caused by the camera apps but by LOS.
what can I do to improve LOS and fixing these issues?
Just go back to OOS my friend. That's what I had to do.
I personally love AOSP based roms but I don't think their integrated camera/gcam is stable enough, for now at least.
I myself tried Evolution X for about 2 weeks. The battery gets a major improvement if compared to OOS, but that's about it.
It can be used easily as a daily driver but the lack of OnePlus camera and many other features which were available in OOS led me back to it.
I'm currently running latest OOS with magisk updated.
I'll probably return to cRdroid/EvoX after their camera issues get resolved.
I just want to keep this for a while, if the problem do not goes away I'll have to install OOS and perform a GMS removal.
Why not gcam with microg? I've used microg just for gcam and disable network access to it and there you go, gcam with privacy.

there is no way you can install gcam in LOS without GMS.
then you are locked without camera features

He is suggesting you install microg; a cleaner fork of GMS, I am using it currently on my 7TPro and Gcam is working just fine with microg.
Is there not a way to pull the OOS camera and install it on LineageOS?

Yes, you can find it here

Doesn't open Videos and just crashes. Cant capture any videos, though camera is working.
Not working on PixelOS.
I can confirm, I installed the zip using MM and it did nothing on PixelOS (Mc5G)
I hope it gets fixed. In the mean time, I'm searching through GCams and XMLs. My favorite everything works except the selfie cam. Another only has main+selfie but I love its auto-night-shot feature. Another works with everything but I don't like how you switch lenses and it is missing some features of the other two. I've tried about 8 other ones but am now choosing between the above 3. If someone has a GCam+XML that works 100% please link.
EDIT: Actually, it doesn't install. MM says it installs, logs look good, but upon reboot MM has nothing about it in the module list.
Installed. Crashes on quite a bit on portrait. Crashes on video occasionally. swiping left or right to each tool seems to work a little better.
thanks
