Hello everybody!
I have downloaded and installed Lineage OS on my Poco F3.
It's a great device but there are some software problems that really bugs me (proximity sensor is a mess, some GUI element are not good for usability, the "everything you need, nothing you don't" thing and then the phone is full of useless apps that i don't need...)
Lineage OS solved all of my problems except for one: the camera.
I'm realizing that there is no real alternative for the native camera app because it offers you the full potential of the hardware with all the features.
Don't get me wrong: i tried Open Camera, GCam Port and other popular apps.
Really good projects but there is always something missing or not working.
In addition on Lineage some camera apps are just not available on the Play Store (for example Footej Camera... using another store, dumping the APK from another device... all useless... the app will recognize my device as not compatible).
Why is that?
Lastly i even tried to install the stock APK on Lineage without success.
What is your opinion on that?
What are the software limitations involved?
Is this a limiting factor for you?
What camera app do you use?
Best regards.
I'm not someone who uses camera that much but I can tell you that I totally agree with people who think that native camera is the best. I use Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and there is no alternative to camera which comes originally. That's one of the reasons why I tend to use ROMs with camera very close to stock one or even the same like stock one.
Lineage is known to cripple cameras.
you sound pretty knowledgeable, so i'm probably not offering much here... but, ANXCamera (miui camera port) is being worked on for our device, as far as i can tell... the following is copied from T.Gram... may show promise later on, but for now it's not fully functional
How get ANX working (partially)—
1. Download the MiUI Core from here (MOD EDIT: Link Removed)
2. Download the latest ANX (full version modded for R) from here (https://camera.aeonax.com/)
3. Flash the MiUI Core and ANX Zip through Magisk
4. Reboot
5. Paste the device-feature XMLs (MOD EDIT: Link Removed) in–
/storage/.ANXCamera/features/
6. Download ANXCamera Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aeonax.camerapro) from the Play Store and use it to enable all the desired features in ANX.
What doesn't work for now:
UW, Macro and 48MP

This is a simple tutorial for those on there who really want a fully functional Google Camera without needing to install a ported version or buggy version just to get away from the glitchy green flickering while recording video or who want a slight increase in quality and usability. It's simple, to begin all you will need are the following to get started.
1. Official TWRP Recovery installed and functional.
2. A LineageOS based ROM to install (E.g. LineageOS, Resurrection Remix, etc).
3. A specific GApps package is required for this step. Navigate to here: https://opengapps.org and make sure you have selected "ARM64" for "Platform". Now select your Android version and make sure you select Stock GApps package and above (Very Important!) (Optional: Aroma Package can also be used but was avoided in this tutorial.) The reason I asked you to install the stock package and above is because the stock default camera (AOSP Camera) is replaced with the Google Camera upon GApps install.
(Recommendation: If you prefer a pixel like device like I do with all stock AOSP based apps replaced with Google apps then install the "Super" GApps from opengapps.org).
4. Backup any important data before proceeding.
5. Wipe the appropriate partitions in TWRP.
6. Flash your ROM of choice + GApps.
7. Done!
I know that most advanced users already knew this was possible I just thought I would create this for the non-technical savvy folk. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your new Google Camera!
I think this gcam have no hdr+ mode
All of this for... gcam without hdr+? What's the point?

For people like me that don't like the stock AOSP apps like the camera, and prefer Google apps? I thought that much was obvious.

Sorry, didn't want to say anything wrong, but losing ability to shoot in 4k 60fps and all other video modes, ability to use second camera for 9+ users.. All of this for NOT- fully working Google camera? Sorry, but this doesn't sound practical. Plus, that old version can be easily installed on any device.
The main problem is the misleading thread title. All users would expect fully working Google camera with the most important feature - HDR+.

agreed. I actually am not a fan of Google camera UI and only use it for HDR+ (it's the best) and have been waiting for a functional port as well.

Hi, I updated the camera app on play store, but after that it never worked anymore. When I open it, it gets stucked in a black screen with the camera logo in the center of the screen and then crashes. Can somebody please help me to fix this issue? Thanks in advice
Latest Google Camera (or version installed with gapps) only works on google devices (and maybe android one).
That is why there is GCam Ports available, and to make these work, you need to downgrade gapps to version that doesn't include Google Camera (Pico/Nano). Otherwise they will conflict even if you remove the app with TiBu etc.
Thank you very much! And how can I downgrade gapps? I have the super package

Dirty flash a smaller gapps package, be careful with what launcher your using because it maybe removed in the process.
Backup before hand just in case other google apps your using get removed. Reinstall from backup or play.
As for Gcam Port, i use this version from this thread.
As another alternative look at Mi A2 camera port for access to duel camera features.
Let me know if I got it: to downgrade the package, I only have to install a smaller package and it will automatically remove the bigger one? Is there a tutorial for it?
Okay, I managed to do everything right. But now I have another problem. The camera that you sent to me, crashes when I try to open the front camera. So I tried a bunch of other cameras, and the only one that works is the Arnovas, even if it doesn't save the selfies with hdr+ activated and when I try to take a selfie with flash at night, I only get a black image. This is the one that has less problems :laugh:

Can i use this on derpfest os 12? would it cause any kind of bootloop?
Edit1- I tried it on derpfest a12 and it works fine.
Edit2- Some features like 60fps video and portrait mode are broken and camera app crashes if you try to use them.
Doesn't work on PE 12 on the OP7T.
Installing KOSP 2.7, will update.
On pixel experience not working. Waiting for fix

Yes, you can find it here
7T Pro DerpFest 12L
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

Which Gcam work for you ?
Hello everyone, I installed lineage with 12android. Looking for a official GCam that will work on this system.
I read information on the internet. The processor is suitable, the firmware is new, Google services are installed. Custom GCams work, but I cant understand why the wide-angle module and 48mp do not work in these programs.
I think this is a common problem and I hope there is a solution already.
+ a problem with the volume of video recording (very quiet), in some messengers the recording of a video message lags.
(before that, pixelexpirience was installed, which worked slightly crookedly. Google camera did not work there either.)
At this point, there are several ROMs with OOS camera, and a few without. The ones without, there are camera versions you can install but they don't have the auxiliary cameras available. At least not on EvolutionX. I can't seem to find any way to make them work either. I've tried several app versions and obtained a very recent OOS 13 fingerprint and setup device simulation props, and only the primary camera is detected. I even went as far as trying to use an installer for older OOS camera apps with a current OOS camera app, but I can't get it working. Tried looking at the CRDroid files and I can't see what they did either. I'm not a programmer nor an expert with ROMs but from what I can gather, I'd just need the right system or system_ext files, and maybe a particular app version, then I don't see why I couldn't compile a Magisk module similar to others I've found.
I would be interested too, nice question man
+1 from my side!
The final answer is NO.
OOS camera requires tons of OS side changes. Installing just the APK won't work at all. Porting an OOS camera to custom ROMs was already a mess and a complex thing.
The ROMs that don't include the OOS camera require additional commits/changes.
