[Module] Camera2API enabler

Since Google Camera with HDR+ was ported already, it requires that camera2api to be enabled.
This is done by editing build.prop to add or enable "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
Note:
This mod only adds camera2api support in the build.prop systemlessly. This does not guarantee modded google camera hdr+ will work on your device.
Axon 7 Users:
Here's a working GCAM that works on my device. However, I don't see any difference with my stock cam hdr. I just use this for slowmo, panorama, photosphere and lens blur effects.
MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Mid_v.3.6_AllinOne_Full_Manual.apk
Requirements:
Android 5.0 & up
Magisk v15
~2014+ Snapdragon SoCs
Instruction:
Add the zip in Magisk Manager -> Modules and reboot.
Or you could also flash it in your custom recovery, TWRP etc.
How to check if it is running:
1. Open terminal and issue command "getprop | grep camera".
If it's running, you should be able to find a line "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1". Check attached screenshot for example.
Or
2. Install Camera2 Probe from playstore to check your device's camera capabilities.
UPDATES:
9-15-17:
-added v1400 template
-added camera2api with slowmo fix for Axon 7 users. (I can't guarantee slowmo on other models will work since I used my device's media_profiles.xml file.)
01-25-18
-updated to v1500 template for C2API - Download this file if you only want the HAL3 enabled.
-updated to v1500 template for C2API+slowmo+ (credits to @j1505243)

I have a G5 which supports it and if I try the command above it does not show the "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled" property. So can we assume that property is specifically to indicate the magisk module is working?
I used this app to check if it was supported already Camea 2 Probe on the play store.

ok how to disable this and revert back to stock ?

I think the OP should mention that this module is for SD820+ .

Thanks for the effort but still nothing for XZ

I don't use it, so can you provide logcat?

If for some reason I have to unistall the module and/or Magisk will I have back the stock camera or I should reflash the ROM?
Thanks

Magisk override the stock camera.
It install some libs too, if the user isn't on stock rom.
The easiest way back would be a dirty flash.

When I open Magisk manager and I click on + under the Module menu and I choose your module it open the zip instead of installing it.
Should I install it through recovery?

Just tried this on my Honor 8 and it caused systemUI to not load on a restart. Had to force a reboot and uninstall the module to get back navigation buttons.

The libs are for Oreo...
You could try to add the HwCamera2 folder alone to /system/priv-app/ without module and see.
That should work. Maybe the app didn't start, but you can see missing dependies in logcat.
i'd like to see logcat too, may i can improve something for other kirin devices.

This Module works only if you have Oreo as ROM?

The libs for Porting a from Oreo (P20pro as source) .
It should work on other Versions too, but because the "newer libs" a debuging is needed for compatibility.
The only way is that someone test and provide a logcat.

I try to install it on P10lite with Nougat, now I have no camera und also the command to go back or home.
It doesn't show also the connection to the net, but I'm able to do a phonecall, but now I'm stuck on the phone menu.
I try to produce a logcat with these command:
adb logcat -v long > p20camera.txt
I attach it

What should I reflash to restore my P10lite, System or Boot image?
Doing a reflash through Hisuite, will lock my bootloader again.
After many reboot Magisk manager was not crashing after opening and I could uninstall the module.
Now the phone is working again and the camera is again working on the phone.

thats an magisk error. simple clear repo cache...
so far as i have seen in the log the problem are missing arguments in cameraserver/the lib of it.
i will think about adding the server with libs to the modul too.
btw the slowmo don't works because it has dependies with stock gallery... so far...
thx for logcat, that helps much.

when your device has all hardware dependies, it should. it is original camera from p20. nobody tested till now, cause missing hardware. libs are not included and had to be in your system.
The camera automatic shows the mods which could work.

What error you are getting?
Try editing build prop with different app.
Check if your device properly rooted if not then try again with latest magisk module stable/beta.

Error open the google camera app, build.prop has been edited with root explorer and have been saved. my device already rooted by magisk i use magisk v17.1, I have also tried using the "manual camera compatibility test" app to test whether my redmi 4x support camera2 api but the results still do not support, usually at MIUI 9 after edit build prop and I test using "manual camera compatibility test" app the result is supported.

No, i was talking about what error you are getting when you edit build.prop and not when opening google camera app.
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
hope you've edited like above.
Try using BuildProp Editor by JRummy Apps used to use this app and it worked always fine without any issue, it also has option to save and backup build.prop.
even if this does not works then try editing on PC.

This is a problem that has been discussed for a while now on other forums. This file, however, worked for me.

After flash this, MIUI 10 default camera crash .. how come ?? xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 version latest stable not beta.
But GCam work. Strange .. I'am somewhat happy... at last / at least it works.

Actually, Xiaomi disabled or removed or not implemented camera2api in later releases. That's why Google camera app didn't work. They made their stock camera app somehow differently, so users can't use both gcam or MIUI cam. The flashable zip contains camera files from earlier MIUI ROMs, that enables camera2api. But enabling that means MIUI cam won't work. There's a solution, find MIUI cam mod in XDA threads. It will work fine.

Both work fine on mine. MIUI Greeshan Mod...

Hi
I was trying to get aux cameras to work in GCAM for my Redmi Note 8 Global variant, but it was not successful, until I have rooted my phone.
For ROOTING REDMI NOTE 8 please follow this guide.
So, next thing is very simple.
1. Install SELinuxModeChanger+11.0.apk from attachments below.
2. Launch the App & Give it root permission.
3. Select the permissive button then close the app.
4. Install this GCAM, should be a clean install. Uninstall any gcam that you have already installed.
5. Launch the gcam, you will see the camera switch button is blue & You will see 03 buttons on top right of view finder, WIDE, MACRO & MAIN.
6. Enjoy
I have attached screenshots as well.
