Specific Gcam crashing - Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi, I have recently came back to stock after trying some roms.
I have enabled the needed things for a Gcam and left the bootloader unlocked.
I tried downloading the MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_V1.3.030119.0645 apk from this site https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
but after opening the app it crashed. I tried Arnova's v8.3b1 Gcam and it worked so Gcam should work. I also tried clearing the app's storage and cache.
Any idea why it is crashing?
Thanks.

What have you done to enable the things needed for gcam? Rooted? Camera2 API enabled? Provide more information and you will more likely get an answer.

Working great for me after using the config file edited for Tolyan's apk. Seems like a default setting issue.
Copy attached xml contents in /data/data/org.codeaurora.snapcam/shared_prefs/ prefs file (biggest one). Force close app and launch again

I used a guide from the forums here.
what I did was unlock the bootloader, boot twrp, flash magisk, install magisk manager.
then I used those commands:
adb shell
su
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.camera.stats.test 5
setprop persist.vendor.camera.stats.test 5
setprop persist.camera.eis.enable 1
exit
exit
then I uninstalled magisk.
but I didn't lock the bootloader, as I wanted to see it was working.
According to Camera2 probe It worked as my support level is LEVEL_3.

this is the correct package name, sorry for typo
Works also for any cam mod that crashes, search data/data/ for any cam folder

I found a folder by the name of org.codeaurora.snapcam in andoird/data. Tried moving the xml to there and it didn't work.
Am I missing something? I can't find the data folder.
Maybe I need root access to find this folder?
Thanks
edit: I was able to find the loaction of the file by having root.
changing it didn't work.
I found another gcam that is working and also don't have green tint so i will use this one instead.
Thanks for the help

Thanks, friend!
With this I was able to use Arnova's mods again :good:

Do I have to set back camera to 9MPX in order to get Autofocus to work on Pie Havoc 2.2 latest version with Moun Kernel on latest firmware ?
Preinstalled camera version is: Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2
Thank you.

Viper4Android on Nexus 9

I've searched all forums for a solution to make Viper4Android work on Nexus 9.
None has been working for me without killing Chromecast support.
So I've made two solutions to make it work:
TWRP, Root and Busybox is required!
As system app:
In TWRP install V4A_2.3.3.0_[Quality].zip
Boot Android and open V4A
(Uninstall and) Install driver
Reboot Android
As normal app:
In TWRP install V4A_Conf.zip
Boot Android
Install SELinuxModeChanger and set it for "Permissive" mode
Install V4A
Open V4A and install driver
Reboot Android
I've testet with Google Music and Wimp.
PLEASE hit thanks if this helps you!
If you're on another Lollipop device the tricky part in making the V4A driver stick, is to manually edit the audio_effects.conf on the "Vendor" partition. V4A only writes to the system audio_effects.conf.

I got a similar response with the pure AOSP build, but not with these zips. I used the zips mentioned in the Q&A V4A thread. I think this only works with stock?

I got around to flashing the Super Quality zip and the V4A_conf.zip on the pure AOSP build. NuPlayer in Dev options is disabled and I'm running SELinux in permissive mode. I still can't get the driver to stick.

I had to edit the audio_effects.conf file in the Vendor folder to get the driver to stick. Add the lines in Step 6 of the following link: http://www.hacktabs.com/how-to-impr...ity-with-viper4android-audio-drivers-effects/
Leave out the lines for xhifi and look at the screenshot for the location in the file to add the lines.
After you do this, try to add the driver again, then restart.

I reverted to a backup before I flashed the Super Quality zip.
Which vendor folder? The /system/vendor/ folder that the driver creates or the /vendor/ folder in root? And the .conf file in /system/vendor/ already contains those lines. Even then, the driver won't stick.
If this provides more information, I'm using Dilligaf's kernel. But I'm positive that wouldn't affect the driver installation.
EDIT: Got it. I copied the audio_effects.conf in the /system/vendor/ folder and replaced the one in the /vendor/ folder. Driver sticks now

Good to hear. I'm not sure why some people have to add the lines and others don't.
Hmmm... The /system/vendor folder is just a shortcut to the /vendor/ folder on my device, so it should be the same...?
I'm on pure stock and as I see the posts, the ones having problems is on other roms or kernels.

You're right: I'm running Lollipopalooza ROM. That explains it.
Has anyone got convolver to work? The app sees all my irs files in the kernel folder, just has zero effect. Everything else works for me.

I haven't gotten mine to work either. I just noticed it. However, my Oneplus One has IRS working on 5.0.1. It could be how the driver is behaving?

Igothacked said he was using my kernel/ramdisk, I'm not sure what ROM, but the kernel in my boot.img is completely stock, the only edits were to the ramdisk, and I'm positive that would not effect anything with this. I'm not sure about what Roms were being used, I guess it could make a difference, maybe permissions are slightly different or there is a difference with some symlinks with different roms and stock.
Thanks, also working on stock Acer A1-810 too.
I'm also running theLollipopalooza ROM and had to edit the file manually before the driver would install. All seems to be working fine now though. Thanks☺

Album removed as default picture launcher

I removed Album as the default picture launcher like done by venkat kamesh (link to original thread is at the end) for other Xperia models following his nice tutorial , after installing you can choose which app will be used for opening your pictures out of the camera.
Updated 27/03/16
Instructions for MM (use the attached file SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk)
device needs to be rooted
make a backup of your original "/system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release/" folder so you can restore the original behaviour if needed.
copy my SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk to "/system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release/" folder to override the original file
change the permissions of SemcCameraUI.apk to the ones the original app has (rw-r--r--):
Code:
chmod 644 SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk
delete oat folder
reboot - enjoy!
Instructions for LP (use the attached file SemcCameraUI.apk)
device needs to be rooted
make a backup of your original "/system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI" folder so you can restore the original behaviour if needed.
copy my SemcCameraUI.apk to "/system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI/" folder to override the original file
change the permissions of SemcCameraUI.apk to the ones the original app has (rw-r--r--):

No, this version is only working for Lollipop.
I will make a MM version in the following days and post it here.

I managed to modify the apk, unfortunately it doesn't start any longer, no idea why ... Any hints what could go wrong after recompiling the apk with apktool and cause the app to crash? I did it the same way as with LP ...

On my device it works without having the oat-folder and as far as I know the oat-folder won't be created again, because the apk is deodexed ...
I just downloaded my file again and did the whole process again and it still works .
Did you do it (copy the file and set the permissions) via adb?
Could you try it again?
md5 is: 43774a75b358b255ca629c0bfd56e289
md5 is correct, I set permissions with total commander, I did it with root explorer too, the permissions are correctly set (rw-,r--,r--) but camera app is nowhere to be found ... I will try with adb and see
The camera is missing after I did this.
Tried it on Marshmallow, can you help bro?
Followed the instructions carefully. Thank you
Tried via adb, doesn't work as well.
Upon checking the file SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk its still my default apk and not the one i pushed with adb (the one i downloaded here), the oat folder was still there as well. Pretty sure I deleted it via adb as well and no error showed up.
Update: Tried it again via adb, this time SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk pushed properly with correct permissions and oat folder deleted as well. But the camera is now missing again. Any ideas? Thank you
I had somehow similar problems that I can't explain ... just copy back your original files including the oat folder and check if its working again (it should) and afterwards try it again. For me it works ...

Thanks but tried it like 3 times already, no luck still.
Not working for me either on 6.0.1 -.-
Seems like .apk is broken or something (when opening .apk get parsing error )
and when replacing original .apk Camera disappears like the other ones said

Hello, what about using Xposed to create a module like the one working for Lollipop?
it would be a lot easier for people instead of replacing files, messing with odex files and It could probably support all the MM releases. If i have some time i could try to do it, but i'm not as skilled as you.
Apart from that, thank you a lot for the work! I've been searching this since ever.
modified camera for MM 6.0.1
Herewith modified camera file from 32.2.A.0.224
For me it works like a charm.

AR Core Google Measure on OP3

Anyone made the Measure app work on their OP3?
I'm also having problems what's brought me here. I was trying different versions and nothing works :/
Yep, works perfectly fine here. Do other AR Core apps work for you?
Actually I have a problem with installing AR Core itself, do you have a link to proper version?
Also can't get it to work. I tried a few different versions of the ARCore apk now, but when opening the measure app all I get is different error messages.

I have the 3.
What I did was the following:
1) Download and install the latest ARCore apk from apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/arcore/arcore-1-3-180604066-release/
2) Sideload an ARCore-enabled app like Just a Line or IKEA Place (again, from APK Mirror) and launch it so it crashes the first time.
3) Using a root explorer, go to /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/ and find the file for the OnePlus 3T (it will have "OnePlus3T" in its name).
4) Rename/Remove the "T" from "OnePlus3T" in the file name.
5) Launch an ARCore-enabled app again and it should work flawlessly.

... or it replies to you then with the error: " This device does not support AR" instead of hanging at start ^^
Fobos531´s instructions seem to work well for me. I can use the measure app now. Though I'm not yet sure how exact it is. Haven't had much time yet for testing it.
For reference, I've got OP3 (not T) running NitrogenOS 8.1
Fixed, I completely kicked ARCore APK and reinstalled. Now it works. AR Stickers does not, but I think that I use the wrong APK...

Can you try manually creating the file in that case? Create a "files" folder, inside create a folder named "device_profile_database" and inside that folder create a file named "device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto" (make sure .textproto is the extension). Put this in the file: https://gist.github.com/fobos531/64cd45838ffb6a143a83306882d208b6
Also the file should have read+write permissions only for the owner (you can do "chmod 600 /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto") to achieve this.

I have the Skulshady's ARCore before. I uninstall it and install the latest version from apkmiror, then follow this guide and works fine.
Thanks @Fobos531 , your way works for me like a charm. OOS 5.0.3 with Magisk. Installed ArCore 1.3 from apkmirror, then Ikea app, let it crash one time, edited the filename and everything works now.
i installed the lasr ar core from apk mirror,
and downloaded measures from play store
and i didnt do anything else
and its working fine.

If you are able to download measure app from play store then it means, your phone supports this, you don't need to do anything else

Android 10 Rooted Can't Edit build.prop

So, grabbed the latest OTA, and went through the usual re-root cycle, but was unable to edit the build.prop. While /root is mountable, /root/system is not, which means no tethering for me.
Anyone else running into the same issue?
I have the same issue, I've been fighting with it all day.
I patched the boot.img with Magisk Manager and flashed it, Magisk Manager show's I'm installed and Root Checker says I'm rooted, I was even able to install Adaway. But i cannot use any root app that needs to mount /System
I tried using Root Uninstaller and it says it has root access but cannot mount /system as R/W
It seems Magisk is only able to partially root on Android 10
I tried this with the Canary version and the standard version of Magisk and the same issue both times
Same issue on regular pixel:

if all you want to do is edit a prop in build.prop, just use the Magisk module MagiskHidePropsConfig....works like a charm (at least it did on Android 9 - assume it would work on 10....it sounded like it worked on the betas)....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228
This has been a problem since the Q beta came out, with each update I tried to figure something out. With no luck! I tried the Magisk Mod but it didn't seem to work.
suggestions would be most appreciated!!
Thinkin about a clean install....maybe.....
Edit: It was also a problem with the P beta until it was out of beta (That was my hope for this)

Was thinking about this, but realized a clean install for every update isn't worth a hotspot to me.

if all you want to do is edit a prop in build.prop, just use the Magisk module MagiskHidePropsConfig....works like a charm (at least it did on Android 9 - assume it would work on 10....it sounded like it worked on the betas)....

It doesn't physically change anything in system. The intent is to offer the same functionality as physically editing the build.prop without modifying that file. It creates the prop and value setting and loads into into memory at boot time.....(similar to the way the build.prop file is read at boot time for those settings.) At least that is my understanding. It works for me on Android 9 for setting the prop for tethering...for example. You can confirm it works by using the getprop command to verify the prop you set is set as you intended.
Welp, still can't mount /system or edit the file directly, but PropsConfig seems to be good enough for my needs.

Can you tell me what the process is that got you tethering capability?
Having the same issue on my P2XL which was upgraded via flash of full image minus -w. Using latest canary build of Magisk. I couldn't mount system or anything under it.
I then downgraded Magisk to v19.3 and had no issues mounting system using FX File Explorer, etc. and still had root. But I couldn't mount anything under system so I still can't edit build.prop.
For those who are just trying to find a way to get hotspot working (via build.prop edit), try this...worked for me on a dirty upgrade (A9 -> A10 via full image flash without -w) + latest Magisk Canary:

Thanks for posting this, it worked great on my Pixel XL on Sprint. I had about given up on being able to edit the build.prop.
You no longer need the canary version of Magisk. Version 20.00 will rebuild your boot.img and if you load busybox and use a terminal type "props" and follow the onscreen menu. you can get your tethering back. My output:
Your prop

Are you sure that your screenshot of the props output is correct? Because it looks like you have the value set to "net.tethering.noprovisioning" and the prop name has =true in it. I'm just trying to figure this out because I've tried this and everything else trying to get my hotspot to work. My hotspot will turn on and devices can connect to it, but they don't have internet access. Any ideas at all?
Edit: Nevermind, I had the custom prop set to post fs data when it was supposed to be set at boot stage (default). My hotspot is working now. Thank you all.

This seems to have worked for me, though I don't really understand why or what did it.
For any dummies like me that happen to fall on this post after their build.prop seems to fail to save. The link above to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75238542&postcount=59 worked for me.

I haven't been beating my head too hard this time around. Many thanks to the brains that are keeping the rest of us dummies excited to keep tinkering about with our androids!

Why need to turn on Hotspot for build.Prop editing? What's wamo?

Does anyone know a way to enable gestures on 3rd party launchers on stock rom

[ROOT]Stock and Magisk patched boot images

Until TWRP is available for this device, root must be done by flashing patched boot image via fastboot. I'm still in the waiting period for the bootloader unlocking, but I prepared files in the meantime. Maybe someone will find them useful. Attached are stock boot and patched image with Magisk 21.1, EEA ROM version. Just unzip them and flash from fastboot.
Full version: V12.0.6.0.QJSEUXM_20201117
Edit: patched boot image reuploaded, the previous one didn't work (at least on my phone). This one has been tested and is working fine.
hello,
having the EEA version 12.0.6.0, as a boot patch can I immediately give the modded boot, in fastboot?

You can flash patched boot image directly, or just hotboot it (fastboot boot patched_image.img) and install Magisk from Magisk manager.
hello,
I did and at the moment everything is ok.
thanks
but there is a strange thing, Mixplorer, it does not change the permissions of the files, yet it has root permissions
I think the root is not perfect, I can't change the permissions of the files

Which files on which partition with what kind of permissions? RO partitions must be remounted as RW, but it's not always possible and using Magisk is usually a better and safer approach.
hello
let's talk about system partition files how can I remount as RO?
using Mixplorer, if I click comeback as RO, it tells me failed

I keep my system partition RO so I can apply OTA updates, so I haven't tried it. You could try another app (for example Total commander), but you will be probably out of luck because of Android 10 limitation. Read more detailed explanation here https://android.stackexchange.com/q...m-partition-locked-to-read-only-in-android-10
I would suggest using Magisk module for system modifications.
hi
i tried other app manager like root explorer and es explorer, but the result is the same. i also installed magiskhideprops module, but my phone is not supported as fingerprint yet
What are you trying to achieve?
the terminal command to try to mount as RO would you know?

Why don't you do it with a Magisk module? Once you install a module, you can edit it directly in /data/adb/modules folder.
i read android 10 problem, would you recommend me to mount with termux, installing vim?

If you know how to edit system mixer files, you should be able to build your own module (or adapt one of the existing ones). But of course it's up to you, I'm just offering a well known and working solution to your problem.
