GCAM5 - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

I want to install GCAM mod that supports front portrait. I am running on stock ROM, but I have TWRP installed. All the GCAM mods for nougat I try to install, Package Installer shows "This App is not compatible with your phone" Please share an apk or a zip, that works on stock Nougat.
Thank you for your time.

AFAIK there is upto 4.2 versions only support ARM Nougat, which doesn't have portrait mode.
Then after 4.3 to 5.2, require Arm64 ( stock rom is ARM, not Arm64), (4.3 & 4.4 doesn't have Portrait)..
And to run 5.1 or 5.2 (which have Portrait mode) you need custom ROM which is Arm64 & hal3 enabled.
I am running AOSP-Ex with GCam 5.1 and portrait on front works fine..
mostly all oreo custom ROM support GCam, but not stock..

So even if the official oreo update comes and it is ARM, I still won't be able to run GCAM?

yes. No able to run

That's sad, I reverted back from custom ROM only to avoid bugs and increase device performance. Thanks for the quick response.

Download the aroma installer from OpenGapps and flash it right after your RR Oreo, the installer let's you choose which Google apps you want to include during the installation, just select the Google Camera and it also allows you to remove or replace useless apps from the base rom. I hope this helps you a little.
I didnt meant the official Google Camera

This needs a different camera api (Camera2 API not in legacy mode) and will never be possible on this phone.
Pie will *veryvery likely* come, you can peek into the Xperia ZL forum and see there is a preview of the work done so far. Once it's useable and the exposure won't distract from the development the wip versions will probably be posted by daedroza in the hope it gets to a quality that matches the LineageOS guidelines.

[MOD] Camera2API with slow motion for Oreo

If you're using the latest weekly beta updates (either Chinese or Xiaomi.EU), I think you're now enjoying the latest Xiaomi.EU beta rom 8.11.22 with Oreo. I've been using the Camera2API from Magisk modules and google camera here in the forum while using the Nougat MIUI roms but after the last update to Oreo the mentioned module wasn't included in Magisk.
After searching, I found this mod for Camera2API with slow motion in the Magisk forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4399533&d=1516885596 which worked as intended.
Also, I tried this Google Camera https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v4F-san1ty-final.apk which worked fine even the night sight mode is fantastic.
hello dear
please the link to the google camera api and the moded apk for the Oreo mui rom
thnx

Android pie and Miui 10?

I've just taken stock of my new MI8 128gb in white and love it after 24hours.
The question is should I update to MIUI 10 and Android Pie or just Pie - I heard some things are not so good with Miui 10 namely GPS which is important to me.
Before I update what are your thoughts as i'm already thrilled with the speed and look, also is there some really good camera app should get or other useful apps?
I have Spotify, netflix, whatsapp, FB + messenger, Samsung health + Galaxy wearables ( to go with my galaxy watch).
Thanks for any tips on next things to do to improve this phone
Pro: The MIUI camera really isn't very good with old versions. And you won't be able to use Google Camera Port(which is vastly superior) on those old MIUI versions.
Con: Most people report worse battery life with newer MIUI Android Pie versions
Flashed havoc Rom and never looked back. If you are okay with unlocking bootloader and doing a little flashing, Havoc is a far far far superior rom to miui, with great Google camera.
Havoc-OS is very good ROM, but it is not superior then MIUI. I have been used Havoc and liked very much, but i am back to MIUI XEU ROM, and it is better then Havoc. Also you can install GCam on miui without root. This AOSP PIE are good but all they have something missing. I recommend you to install XEU ROM
Yeah no Glonass or dual gps support on havoc os
gcam

Hi, I'm not very tech savvy but I thought one person reported you can get gcam without rooting.... is not your suggestion of unlocking bootloader and install TWRP recovery - rooting? I assumed there was just some apk we could download and install.
I dont understand what you mean about rooting? twrp?
this thema is name "Android Pie and Miui 10", i understand that you dont know what to use, AOSP Android Pie, or Miui Pie? i hope i am right. If you want to use AOSP Android Pie, you need twrp, and unlock bootloader. And if you unlock bootloader and install twrp then it is better to install XEU ROM then AOSP Android Pie. AOSP Android Pie or XEU ROM you cant install just as apk.
you dont need root for GCam, just download apk and install , for example this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog355/
I give you link of Gcam thema here on forum, to read, not just first post.

99% function but 1% not. Stock is best but if you're bored, back up with TWRP and try GSI
descendant rom works great... No issues on my side... all the gestures that comes with the rom made me forget about Moto actions..not to long i Installed "Dolby" it made me forget about going back to stock... Battery wise is almost like stock, the first day flashing the rom was ok, after a week of using it's pretty good...

Most GSI requires Oreo base. Since u have PIE, you're limited to phh AOSP v108, Octopus latest, AEX official, Descendant 1.5 or 2.1 made by the Real John Galt avail. on Telegram for G6 (2.0 needs Oreo). VOLTE generally doesn't work on GSI--just 4G. If u need VOLTE, stay on stock Oreo or PIE. RR7 disallows SD card (int/ext) access but works on PIE base

HueyT. Have tried just about every possible way of installing RR on Moto G6. The last attempt was to completely wipe phone(format, and all directories deleted.). Flashed AOSP 9 PHH treble. It booted properly. Completed "basic setup" then after brought to home screen, powered down. Rebooted into FastBoot. Dirty flashed RR 9 from official download site, and it never passes boot screen. Have left the device for over 30 minutes. Any help would be appreciated!

RR7 has broken SD card (int/ext) access so can't download anything or any apps or take any photos. Thus, get Oreo vendors and flash RR6.1 and be done with it

There are several GSI's flashable off of PIE vendors: pHH AOSP v111, Descendant AOSP v2.1 (John Galt has customized it to G6 on our Telegram group with Gapps built-in, but GSI vanilla version listed here will work also), AEX official 6.1, Octopus 11/18, PixelExperience 8/2018 version, LOS16, DotOS and Syberia by Nfound on Android File Host) are those that I can cofirm work on PIE vendors.
The other GSI's are best installed on top of stock Oreo vendors.
Most GSIs, VOLTE does NOT work (just 4G data) and PLAY Store is NOT certified (except John Galt's version as it's customized for our G6). Most Play Store needs Device ID apk to get GSF value to manually register your phone before Play store will work.

[Magisk Module] Enable RAW capture for GCam

This Module enables RAW Capture on the Galaxy A30, and changes the camera Hardware Level from Limited to Full.
RAW Capture is required for most GCams to work.
For information about GCam, go to this thread. It's for the A20, but contains useful information.

How does it work?
It works by replacing the library located at /vendor/lib/libexynoscamera3.so with an edited one. For reverse engineering enthusiasts, here is the patch applied to the library.
Prerequisites
- Magisk v20.4 or newer
- Android 11 vendor and kernel (Not compatible with versions of the Eureka Kernel older than 9.0)
Installation
Install as a normal Magisk Module, through Magisk Manager or TWRP.
Troubleshooting
Camera doesn't work, shows Black Screen
Make sure you are using a compatible Android 11 kernel and vendor.
If this issue is happening after updating your firmware, please let me know.

On the stock rom it probably does.
For the S10/20 on LOS only standard and wide lens are accessable whereas the telephoto is not.
On the S10 for LOS 17.1 I therefore had a patched "libexynoscamera3.so" as well granting access to telephoto lens via gcam.
However for LOS 18.1/19.0 or even for my new phone the S20 I was not able to find any patched libs anymore since nobody took the effort of reverse engineering it as you did.
Would you be willing to make the necessary adaption for your patcher to successfully enable raw on all lenses for LOS 18.1/19 on the S10/20 ?

Technically, yes. However, in the A20 enabling RAW in the Android 10 library makes the camera freeze after some seconds in apps like GCam.
If you are willing to test, i can do it, maybe the A30 doesn't have the same issue.
Bro will this mod work for Galaxy A30 (Android 11) ??
Edit: I'm sorry....for a moment I thought this mod for A20.....Sorry again.

Yes, only on gsi or Oneui3.1 ROMs.You need ROM with 11 vendor
Version 2.1 of the module released, the biggest change is that there is no longer a need to change the Black Level in GCam settings, so GCams (or other camera apps) that don't have this option should now take photos without pink tint.
Full changes can be found here.

That's not really helpful. What is happening to make you say it doesn't work, black screen? What ROM are you using? What kernel? What vendor, the one that comes with the ROM, stock Android 11 vendor or a custom one? What camera apps did you try?
