7.1.2 will work fine with front and rear potrait and video recording too.
The version which is most stable and i use is "GcamMod5 from arnova v1.6"
And rom i use is lineageos official
Smooth best in performance too!
Rom is your choice but 7.1.2 based roms are best for modded gcam!
Did you flashed any fix to enable HAL 3 Or just directly flashed the GCAM ?

I don't know about magisk module fix
But i do it like this:
1. Install the app from playstore called "build.prop editor"
2. Give root access to the app
3. Tap edit icon. Go to the last line and add without quotes "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1"
4. Save it and reboot. Done.
I'm sure that module of magisk must contain this line and add it to the correct file
So what i said is manually enabling it.
Flashing that module will reduce your work!

add this code to ur build prop file usin a root file explorer like es and reboot :-
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
or search for camera 2 api magisk module on google and flash it
and for ROM I'd suggest viper os v3.1.1 Android v7.1.2
most stable and customizable rom available for our land in my view ?
Use viper os 7.1.2 aroma best rom .
TBH I think GCAM performance in 7.1.2 better than 8.1

Camera2api questions (OTA and enable/disable) in MIUI

I have this question before unlocking the bootloader only for the Gcam, after enabling the camera2api, the other updates continue to work properly ?, is there no risk of Bootloop?
Following a similar issue, is the problem that when enabling the camera2api the front camera stops working? if so, is it possible to deactivate the camera2api by PC with ADB? what would the command be?
Thank you in advance

The best thing would be to enable Camera2API via this magisk module. That way you don't have to edit build.prop every time you want to enable or disable Camera2API or applied a system update. You can easily enable/disable Camera2API via magisk manager.

Don't know about MIUI. I am on Resurrection Remix May 26 build with opengapps (nano) and this module is working perfectly for me.
I am using Google Camera Mod by BSG.
Please go through this thread where you can achieve without root

Can't find Camera2 API Enabler in Magisk

Hi! Just installed a custom ROM in my phone and I've been searching for the Camera2 API Enabler but I can't find it in Magisk :<

Download a build prop editor and Google what lines you need to add to enable camera2 API... There doesn't need to be a magisk module for everything

Question Gcam 48mp?

Does anyone know why gcam doesn't support 48mp?

Yes because the pixel is only 12mp so gcam is only programmed for 12mp. It sucks, even if we flash a custom rom we can't get anx camera and 48mp fix magisk module to work on Android 12. However the module does work a little bit on Android 11 custom roms for Poco F3.
