Gcam development - work in progress - Vivo X20 Plus UD Themes, Apps, and Mods

So with this device, there will be very little to none users that have one but since I do own one now, hopefully Arnova and cstark can help me get this port to work. The phone is currently on nougat, and camera2 probe reports it to be legacy mode, and there's no root for it unfortunately to enable camera2api, which I think is the main issue? Here's my logcat https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dHFllU7Mg580NkolACDw9AMWD14MmxAy. The version that even load is this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/OP6v0.3_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk. Every other version force close, however, if I make any changes such as toggle sounds off, the app fc immediately if I close it. @Arnova8G2, @cstark27... can you see what is causing this?

FC on miimoto app and Snapchat record issues

Ok so I got two problems and I know Snapchat doesn't record video It did in past builds and trying to install an old version didn't work.
I have tired messing around with a couple of old fixes floating around but its not working.
Another issue I have is with the new Miimoto app it just goes straight to a FC.
I have tried all cm13 roms and RR but I may try reverting back to LOLIPOP to see if it fixes these issues.
Does anyone have any fixes floating around.
Miitomo Fix
I don't know what your issue with snapchat may be, but I do know that miitomo will FC if it detects root. I bypassed this by installing xposed and then installing a specific module to hide root (I forget its name). Sadly, snapchat will not allow you too sign in with xposed installed (though it works fine if you signed in before installing). Surprisingly miitomo will still work if you uninstall xposed and its module, I suppose it does the root check only once before you log in for the first time. Good luck!
Edit: Here's the link to a reddit thread concerning the miitomo FC. You can find links to the fixes there: https://goo.gl/RoLMuU
i have that snapchat bug too. cant record videos. can take pictures tho

Pixel / Daydream / VR Apps

Hey everyone,
So I've been trying to "modernize" my phone, since I'm under the impression that I can get another 2-3 years out of it. So far I have:
-Running 7.1.1 stock rooted w/Franco kernel
-Hacked to include Pixel launcher (works great)
-Hacked to include Assistant (works great)
-Hacked to run Daydream (works great(ish)) -These tutorials are all available online and are pretty simple if you kinda know what you're doing
I bought a Daydream headset and have been playing with the apps. Some seem to work fine, and some won't run, some won't install. This seems like pretty fresh territory, so I haven't found much help online.
I know our phone supposedly doesn't meet the intended hardware specs (thermal characteristics, and GPU speed?), but it sure seems capable enough to me.
-Home screen and remote - works no problem.
-Playstore - works no problem.
-Netflix VR - works no problem.
-Arts & Culture - works no problem.
-Asteroids - This is pretty awesome. It's a demo of an animated episode (not the old game). It has 3D sound, which I wasn't expecting since the Netflix VR app didn't have it.
-Youtube VR - won't install (sideload). A little research, and it sounds like this app won't run on our phone's architecture. As far as I know, I can't force it to run. I'm very interested in getting this to work though.
-NextVR - Launches to blank screen.
-Hello Mars - works no problem. Lacking content it seems.
-JauntVR - works no problem.
-Littlestar - opens to non-side-by-side screen.
-InceptionVR - opens to non-side-by-side screen.
-Etc.. haven't tried very many yet.
For some of these, I wonder... I have my phone "posing" as a Pixel XL. I wonder if it would make a difference if I changed it to Pixel regular instead.
Anyhow, there must be others out there who are interested in exploring Daydream on our Nexus 6. Please share your experiences/expertise or point to relevant threads I may have missed!
Unfortunately I am in the same situation as you are, but I am just as interested in getting it resolved. The Daydream UI and the apps that are working actually work very well. What I found is the apps that are opening single screen are doing so because of our device info. I can go into the build.prop and edit the ro.product.device to marlin instead of shamu the app will open in a side by side screen. The only problem is that my phone reboots after running for a few minutes (even if I am not in daydream). I emailed the app developer of "AFFECTED:The Manor" and he said they will adjust the app requirements in their next update, but we can't expect everyone to be so helpful. We need to come up with a way to edit the build.prop info without causing rebooting. Keep me posted and I will do the same ...
Very cool, glad I'm not alone here.
I did notice that Netflix seemed to have picked out that my device was a Shamu, but luckily at least that app doesn't care.
FYI it looks like a bunch more apps just got added to the in-Daydream app-store. Going to try a few of those, and also trying to get google photos working.
Having trouble with Google Pictures in daydream. I get a message saying there is no daydream content for this app. I tried the same build.prop mod you mentioned, and it did not help with that app. I can confirm it did fix the others which didn't previously work. It threw off my kernel though, so I set it back to Shamu. I didn't experience reboots, but I had it set that way for about 10 minutes only.
Guys remember that there is a reason the nexus 6 didnt make the cut. One of the main reasons being that it wont be getting the vulcan drivers that daydream will need. By forcing it you could damage your device beyond repair. Its a high risk for something that will most likely die out over the next few years.

Yes good point. I personally am prepared for the worst, but yeah, disclaimer to others...
I was able to get it to work in safe mode.. But after rebooting I was still logged in but it's like the touch screen is dead and when I move my phone the picture jitters

We had just been talking about getting specific apps running, so I didn't know if you were referring to a certain app or just Daydream in general. I didn't have any trouble following the guide to get Daydream up and running. You sure you did it right?

That is going to be the key to getting those apps working, it is pulling info from the build.prop to verify it should run in the dual screen mode. I just can't figure out how to make the edit and have my device run correctly. I noticed when I changed shamu to marlin even some of my apps updated (like camera) to the pixel camera, but it is supposed to run on 64 bit system so it crashed. I think the change will have to take place on the app side, which is unfortunate.

Check this article out: http://apcmag.com/how-to-fake-an-android-device.htm/
It's kinda old, but it sounds like there's more lines that may need to be changed besides [ro.product.device].

Yea, I had tried all combinations one at a time and all at once and my device would always reboot. I found during the trial and error that only the ro.product.device was what the app was reading, but could not stop the rebooting.

Does the Google Camera HDR+ Port work on Mi Mix?

I noticed recently on the XDA page this came up:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/
It mentions at the bottom of the article that there is a specific version for SD821.
Would this work with the Mi Mix? Does it need API2 enabled? Does it make a difference?
Thanks!
I have google camera v3.7 working with HRD+ but when you enable API2 by editing the build.prop it stops working and crashes
Thanks, does it make much of a difference?
It works perfectly on custom ROM's such as RR, LOS, Viper OS, etc.
I used mainly because of RAW support and Googles HDR+ is really great, definitely worth giving it a try!
Yes.
How do you install it? I get a message saying it conflicts with an existing package.
I uninstalled the existing camera app via titanium but it didnt help.
I am on the latest RR.
Thanks

Google Camera apps that work with this phone?

Hey there everyone. I've installed Lineage 14 on my One and even though there's that dreaded pink tint on the camera, I want to test out Google camera on the phone if possible. Enabling Camera2API shouldn't be too hard but there's no way to know if any app works on this phone or not. If not on Android N, there are currently Pie ROMs being produced too and there's a chance some apks will work on that. Any answers appreciated.

GCam for Galaxy Fold (Snapdragon)

I actually tryed to get a working GCam mod and the best actually is the newest version of arnovas GCam mod. The pictures are more clear and sharp with less noise than with the original Camera app.
But the most important important improvement for me is the much better nightmode.
But the problem is that the UI will only work when you start the app in closed mode and when you unfold the phone without restarting the app. If you start it in unfold mode the shutter will be in the middle of the screen.
You can find all infos on the development and the downloads on arnovas tread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/google-camera-mods/app-arnovas-google-camera-port-t3862448
@Arnova8G2 thanks for your great work. Maybe you can help us fixing the interface on the fold.
_sC said:
-> is anyone using a version with little to no bugs?
-> is anyone trying any other versions besides Arnova's?
browsing around, there are so many versions, that its difficult to keep up.
im currently trying the GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v2.2.apk (Urnyx05, 2020-01-31), because it seems to be the most generic, and most up to date one.
unfortunately, im not seeing any improvement. still seeing quite a bit of noise, and the stock galaxy camera is giving me brighter photos.
i've deleted whatever quick test shots i took, ill post some if i get any real good ones.

Have you managed to find anything better? I've tried about a dozen different gcam apps so far, not comprehensively--just installing, launching to see if all the buttons/menus are in the right place, and if they're not, uninstalling. So far I've found UltraCam v3.2.3 to have the most working features (except telephoto). I'm a former Pixel user so it kinda sucks that Samsung's native camera app seems to be worse across the board, except for maybe videos.
Havent broken when use port. Mode
Please share the ui screenshot of this gcam
I'd like to see the comparison vs LG Dual screen
UI on 'menu' and 'more' option
