Hello! Today, I finally unlocked Camera 2 API, and searched for best GCAM modded version, with no luck. The mostly problem is focus. I'd like to see working focus mostly. There's any? I don't want to get back to Oreo, or root my phone.

How you enable 2API??
all the versions recommended here, told "focus working", or any version you can try from celsoazevedo gcam mods website, will lose focus because reason is simple. after official upgrade to PIE from oreo, focus is broken in kernel so only way to fix it is to use custom kernel. i'm on pie and using butterfly kernel (or dragonheart kernel has same fix) so gcam focus is working properly as it's supposed to be. i try different gcams from that website regularly and custom kernel is the only way for it.

Wrong. Flashing a custom kernel was the old method, some gcams' focus works properly. Try the CameraX9 from here with the given config file : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/2-gcam-hdr-camera-t4053783
You can also try Urnyx05's ports of Gcam from here :
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/
GCam_v7.0.009-v4.4.apk works OK in both front and back cameras but you can't record videos with it. Gcam doesn't really improve video quality, so you can stick to stock cam for video, but most of the latest gcams work fine focus-wise.

It's for this reason that I use san1ty's F1 mod: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog738/
It's lacking many configs/features/selfie but I tend to prefer the reliable focus.

This is kinda work in progress port of Gcam with hdr+ for arm devices. it's based on google camera version 4.2.035.141213305-arm.
it needs camera api 2 enabled. you can enable it via flashing the zip I've attached or add below line into build.prop.
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Stock rom is preferred, but it should work on all roms as long as above requirement is met.
Google camera apk
Please let me know if auto/touch focus works or not. happy testing :good:

Requires TWRP for flashing zip. or root for manually editing build.prop
rooted?

Since it requires flashing this file, I think root is required. Not sure if can be done without.

Not working, have installed apk n also flashed zip. No option in build.prop so added my own (no idea if it's right) camera just stops on opening.
Any further testing feel free to give me a shout

Hello
First of all thank you the thing is working great on aicp (13).
There seems to be no problem with touch to focus our HDR+. In fact I even tried it on copy is (android 8.0.0) and it kinda cured it of the camera bug.
Thanks again.
Post more.
Thanks again...
Working in LOS 15! Seems that it doesn't fall victim to the problem of freezing when trying to take more than one consecutive photo which is very nice! It has a few quirks such as only going up to about 9MP max resolution (due to being ported from a 9MP device?), a few of the features such as slow motion and panorama etc. are not working, and trying to use HDR+ with the front-facing camera crashes the app, but it seems that the point of this was just to get HDR+ working so I'd say it's working nicely! The image quality is great despite the loss of resolution, especially in low light and autofocus / touch to focus seems to be working fine! Thanks!
I was testing with Ressurection Remix 7.1.1 and the camera doesn't work.
Tried without editing the build.prop and crashed, flashed the .zip and not only the google camera didn't work, it also broke the other cameras (LO Camera and Moto Camera). Putting the value back to 0 restored functionality in both cameras but Google Camera is still not working.
Hope my feedback helps
Enabling api2 completely crashes my camera and makes my flashlight unusable, know why?
Could you please port the ar stickers for Moto g5.... tried too much.

HDR+ won't work without enabling camera 2api.
Root is required to manually enable camera 2api so you can probably just flash the zip by the dev and be done with it without rooting your device.
Nice port. Everything working fine on STOCK OPTIMIZED rom, except:
- HDR+ in Frontal Camera crashes the app
- Slow Motion crashes the app
- Sometimes the video recorder don't saves the video, don'ts show any message or error.
And for some uses that can't start app because it's crashing on start:
Reinstall system
Don't flash HAL3 zip
Start the rom, boot, insert your Google Credentials
after setting up the rom, restart your phone and flash the zip
after flashing the zip, install gcam apk as normal apk
that's all

A thread was already created on Redmi 3S forum regarding this. But since this thread is linked to the original Mi5 thread, so I'm attaching camera info and reporting the problems again.
Problems:
1. Greenish photo when taking pictures with front cam in portrait mode.
2. App crash upon selecting Video mode.

Device :: Xiaomi Redmi 3S/Prime (land)
ROM :: ResurrectionRemix Unofficial (Nougat)
Kernel :: Beacon Kernel
Mod Version :: GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4
Portrait mode is working fine on rear camera.
But portrait mode for front cam is not working, Camera doesn't take picture while using portrait. And without portrait mode, Front camera does take picture.
On previous version (1.3), Front cam was able to take pictures in portrait mode but had a green tint all over the image!
Video recording is not working (on both cam).

In latest GCam mod 1.5 beta 2 Portait mode is working much better in front camera. Picture is less greenish in good light but still it is green. Portait mode only works if you enable the hdr plus front camera in advance menu option.

I am on viper 3.1.1 and did not use AEX so can't say about it. You just have to enable camera 2api via magisk module or build prop. You dont need to do more than this. The mod will work only on Naugat or 8.0 oreo. I am waiting for a fix in 8.1 as this is not working in it.

Check if camera 2api is properly activated. Use open camera and tick the camera 2api option in setting and check if iso and shutter speed is adjustable or not. If yes, then camera 2api is ok and the problem may be in rom. And if not, then flash the camera 2api magisk module rather than editing the build prop.
Will i be able to retain EIS for camera even after flashing custom ROMs?
If not , which custom ROMs support EIS?
And suggest the best custom ROM and kernel combo available for camera performance.
Yes you will. Here is my setup that I recommend:
Latest Resurrection Remix rom + Black-Kernel 1.4 + Google Camera
Battery will be the same as MIUI if not slightly better. Camera performance is amazing with Gcam but hdr does not work with front camera.
Hahaha, I have the exact same setup like abdullah1994uk. It works on Resurrection remix OS perfectly, if not you can activate it in the build.prop file and give it a go.
If you want to use google camera, enable camera2api in the build.prop: perists.camera.HAL3.enable=1 (or something like that). Works like a charm!
Black box kernel boost battery life by ~ 1.5 times!

You probably have hdr turned on. Make sure you turn it off when using front camera

Simple. Once you install the rom and kernel. Go to settings>system>advanced
You will see an option to enable camera2api. Once you enable it, reboot your device and install the apk I mentioned above.
That should be it.

Thanks man
Hey guys, I just wanted to know does Z2 play supports Google camera with portrait mode?
I tried few apks but not even one is getting installed.
I'm using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk. Can't post the link to the site as I'm new here and the forum won't let me, but you should be able to find it by the filename.
It's based on Google Camera 5.1.018. I haven't had any luck getting newer versions to install, but that one works fine, including Portrait mode, Lens Blur and Photosphere. I had to disable video stabilisation, otherwise video recording would crash. If front camera gives a green tint, there's a setting to fix that in Advanced -> Fix Camera API2.

Do you have an older version of Google Camera installed? If so, try uninstalling it first. Also, are you on Oreo? Many GCam ports seem to require at least Oreo and won't work on Nougat.

Gcam mod it doesn't work on 32 bits. You need custom 64bit roms
Right, I neglected to mention I'm running LineageOS 15.1 on my Z2 Play.

I've only had my Z2P for less than two weeks, but it's been perfectly stable so far. Can't really compare with stock ROM because I flashed it to LOS on day 1.
