Google Camera with HDR+ Port - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Have anyone tried the port of the google camera yet?
I installed on latest LOS and did not work.... Please share the rom version if this apk happens to work for you.
Thanks!

Google camera need api 2, i don't think it gonna work without some massive hacking

Even it's not working with Stock Nougat ZUI also?

Same results here, ViperOS, bummer that maybe it will never work on this device

even with version 4.2 it didn't work, but its works on my redmi 4x with version 4.2

Works with my Oneplus 3 but not zuk z2 with aexo 4.4

Only RR5.8.3 has support for camera API 2

Latest Indian ZUI, didn't work. Perhaps in a future update

report, stoped on rr 583 20170710, with magisk instaled

Aex 4.5 is a no go. Doesn't even open viewfinder. I've tried adding the API line to the build prop, still no success!

Possible to enable Camera2 API?
So there is a new thread on XDA:
https://www.xda-developers.com/camera2api-magisk-module-enables/
A magisk module to enable Camera2 API. However, it may not work if the camera blobs in the ROM does not support Camera2 API.
There are apps called Camera2 Probe on the play store that can detect if camera2 API is enabled or supported on a device. People can use it to check if its supported on Lenovo Z2 Plus. I tried it on my stock version, and it is not supported.
Maybe the magisk modules will enable it in the custom ROMs.

ruhanboom said:
The Magisk module only changes 1 line in the build prop and no it Doesn't work on AICP I tried doing the same thing by editing the build.prop
Also I have made a petition on change.org for ZUK To implement proper API 2 and HAL3 Support
Somebody filed a petion and It worked with Sony but we'd will need a lot of signatures for anyone to take notice.

Expecting the company to do anything especially for a phone, that flopped in its major markets is pointless.
According to the Camera2 API probe apps, by default there is no support for HAL3 in Z2. I am unsure if this is a hardware level feature or a software.
If it indeed is software based then the only option is to change the default camera blobs to ones that support HAL3/camera2 from some other phone maybe...

camera 2 API Required by Google camera to work.
Need rom that support camera to API. Means baked into code.

Unless someone(or lenovo) write new camera drivers, hdr+ never gonna work for our device. Even tho i'm pretty sure we can make google camera 4.4 work, because only hdr+ need api 2. Google camera 4.1 works well for me btw.

_techn0phyle said:
There is no API2 hardware support in the camera blobs in the kernel even with the recent update for the aforementioned camera blobs.

Yes, because lenovo didn't code any support for api2. Or maybe sensor doesn't support api2 at all=(

The developer who ported the app said it should work on all devices with 820. I tried on RR latest build and it crashes. I also tried Oneplus camera app, but it crashes too.

Hi bro .zsl is zero shutter lag . since z2 holds a Samsung sensor it comes with ZSL mode . Fortunately CamAPI2 is not a hardware limitation, but I am pretty sure ZUK will never going to release it. It require lots of resources, they had to change the whole architecture on ROM. I though they give it in Nougat, but they didn't included it. And they are not going to release any other update.
Forget about Gcam HDR+ it is never going to happen.

App atleast didnt crash
Version 5.1 or something port for the nexus with zsl
Started and didnt crash but was unable to access the camera
Atleast it didn't crash like other ports
I am using aicp rom august release

Check again, if you write HAL in small letter it wouldn't work camera2api is implemented but not enabled by default.
Thank you. I was looking for this.
Edit: isn't working here. I am on Invicta OS 4.2 Android 7.1.2, @Aby lad are you on stock rom?
I tried with the AZ camera but it's crashing when i try to open the app, i tried with Open Camera (API 2 support) and it automaticly hangs.
Please provide more info about in which ROM this tweak is working.

On custom rom there is problem with camera2 api
so how can I enable the camera 2 API on the latest version of Cosmic OS which I currently have installed on my phone? Should I flash the Motocamera zip to enable those libs? I'm a completely inexperienced person in understanding these things. So, please don't mind if I have said something wrong.
can anyone open captured RAW image? I'm on stock rooted nougat november security patch and after taking photo with AZ camera, I cannot open the 30mb file not in the phone and not in picasa, photoshop...

Replace camera2 libs from system >vendor of cosmic os from stock nougat
Flashing Motocamera zip will allow to use Moto camera app on custom rom.
Thank you so much for helping out. Will surely look into the matter.

Google camera port with Hdr+ (abandoned)

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?

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?

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

And yes, touch to focus and auto-focus is working too. In video recorder the touch to focus works too.

Problems:
1. Greenish photo when taking pictures with front cam in portrait mode.
2. App crash upon selecting Video mode.

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).

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.

Google camera mod?

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

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.

Best Google Camera on Android PIE

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.
