AR Core Google Measure on OP3 - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Anyone made the Measure app work on their OP3?

I'm also having problems what's brought me here. I was trying different versions and nothing works :/

Yep, works perfectly fine here. Do other AR Core apps work for you?

Actually I have a problem with installing AR Core itself, do you have a link to proper version?

Also can't get it to work. I tried a few different versions of the ARCore apk now, but when opening the measure app all I get is different error messages.

Do you have a OnePlus 3 or 3T?

I've had ARC running earlier, but can't get the Measure app to work. I can install both APKs, but I get error when starting the Measure app.

I have the 3.
What I did was the following:
1) Download and install the latest ARCore apk from apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/arcore/arcore-1-3-180604066-release/
2) Sideload an ARCore-enabled app like Just a Line or IKEA Place (again, from APK Mirror) and launch it so it crashes the first time.
3) Using a root explorer, go to /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/ and find the file for the OnePlus 3T (it will have "OnePlus3T" in its name).
4) Rename/Remove the "T" from "OnePlus3T" in the file name.
5) Launch an ARCore-enabled app again and it should work flawlessly.

... or it replies to you then with the error: " This device does not support AR" instead of hanging at start ^^

Fobos531´s instructions seem to work well for me. I can use the measure app now. Though I'm not yet sure how exact it is. Haven't had much time yet for testing it.
For reference, I've got OP3 (not T) running NitrogenOS 8.1

Fixed, I completely kicked ARCore APK and reinstalled. Now it works. AR Stickers does not, but I think that I use the wrong APK...

Can you try manually creating the file in that case? Create a "files" folder, inside create a folder named "device_profile_database" and inside that folder create a file named "device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto" (make sure .textproto is the extension). Put this in the file: https://gist.github.com/fobos531/64cd45838ffb6a143a83306882d208b6
Also the file should have read+write permissions only for the owner (you can do "chmod 600 /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto") to achieve this.

Same happened to me. Problem was a too old apk (didn't use the version from the download link above at first, thought I had the right one)
Sure you used that one?

This works well for me.
I have the Skulshady's ARCore before. I uninstall it and install the latest version from apkmiror, then follow this guide and works fine.

Thanks @Fobos531 , your way works for me like a charm. OOS 5.0.3 with Magisk. Installed ArCore 1.3 from apkmirror, then Ikea app, let it crash one time, edited the filename and everything works now.

and downloaded measures from play store

If you are able to download measure app from play store then it means, your phone supports this, you don't need to do anything else

So I solved my problem with the Xperia S LT26i Chinese:
I found the rom ITA LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_Generic_Italy.zip
and I installed it with flashtool
It was very simple
I did not understand if the device is rooted now
Now the device is fully Italian as if I had bought in my country
Ciao!
Changing file permissions was critical
Thanks for the information and the attachments xjarl!
This worked perfectly for me, but only after I changed the permissions on the 3 files! I bought a Coolpad (Yulong) 8022 with Android 2.3.7 in China through China Mobile. I rooted the phone but was unable to install Google Play until I found this post. I downloaded the attachment, extracted the files and copied the 3 APK files to my system/app folder and rebooted. After installing Google Play and running it, I could browse all the apps in the store but I could not download or install them. The progress bar didn't move.
So I launched Root Explorer and went to the system/app folder. Then I changed the permissions of the 3 APKs: GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk to rw-r--r-- to match all the other files in the folder and rebooted. Since then everything has been working fine! Now I can browse the App store and download and install files without a problem!
So, the steps I recommend are:
1. Root your phone.
2. Download the attachment above.
3. Extract GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk from the RAR file and copy them to the system/app folder on your phone with Root Explorer.
4. In Root Explorer click Mount R/W. Change the permissions of the 3 files to match the permissions of the other files in the folder (rw-r--r--). Then click Mount R/O and exit Root Explorer.
5. Reboot your phone.
6. Go to Accounts & Sync in your phone's settings, click Add account and enter your Google/GMail account details.
7. Go to your apps and Launch Google Play.
I'm guessing that this will work on any Android phone. Good luck!
Thanks for shared.
I get the same problems, but my phone use Spreadtrum CPU SC6820 and it very hard to root.
If not root then can use this solution?

Hi - I believe you will need to root your phone first - I used SuperOneClick to root my phone. I wish you good luck!
It is a very good solution and I tested in my China mobile Note2: GT-N7108 and it works fine.
Thank you very much.

Crashing
I hope someone can help me here. I have a Green Orange N1.
The first thing i tried was to simply install vending apk.
App was crashing before loading.
I tried this method and followed all steps
Root - adding 3 apk to system/app - set permissions- but no luck. Google play still crashes.
I tried also with different G Play versions and still i can't access the application.
Do you have any idea about other steps?

I got it working by downloading different versions of GoogleServicesFramework
i have found 3 versions on the first page searching for GoogleServicesFramework.apk on google
One of them was 2.3M not 4M and it worked. i have also downloaded different GoogleLoginService
Now all google apps work perfectly except for voice search... looks like it doesn't connect.
I can give commands and it keeps searching. don't know if it depends on the GoogleLoginService i installed.
My solution is probably messing up something.
It would be really nice to know which versions of Framework or LoginServices are available andhow to choose the right ones for 4.2 or 4.1.
hope someone can explain here

This kinda works with a bit of play around
These files are KING!!!!
This method works if you root your phone!
I rooted my phone(Samsung Galaxy S4) bought from China loaded with spam and bloatware. The phone by default has a whole load of crap installed into the system apps folder and can't be deleted unless rooted!!!
I rooted using:
Odin3 v3.07
cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar
Google_play.rar
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2300_0
System App Remover
Root Explorer
Step 1: Put phone in USB debugging mode in order for ODIN to successfully detect and install 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'
Step 2: Power phone on holding Volume Down, Menu Button and Power Button. (This put it in download mode)
Step 3: Plug phone into PC(Ensure USB drivers have been installed)
Step 4: Open ODIN
Step 5: Select PDA and locate 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'
Step 6: Click Start (Sit back it takes a few)
Step 7: Once completed immediately unplug battery before phone restarts.(This apparently ensures the CWM will root the phone for S4 new security)
Step 8: Power phone on using Volume Up, Menu Button and Power Button.
Step 9: Root phone option
Step 10: Install from SD card
Step 11: Select the CWM option
Step 12: Restart phone from the options
Step 13 : Super User app should now be installed on the phone
Step 14 : Given that you can't access google play you may need to download apps via pc or web browser on your mobile.
Step 15 : Download the following apps a) Root Explorer b) System App Remover.
Step 14 : Be smart and write down the names of the apps you need to remove and take note of the icons.
Step 15 : Delete what you can through System App Remover (Some will not delete through this app but you'll understand a little later)
Step 16 : Once you've deleted what you can, open Root explorer.
Step 17 : Copy the Google Play files (There are 3) into a directory you can find on your phone.
Step 18 : These files should be stored on SD in Root Explorer, Tap Hold and Move.
Step 19 : Go to System then Apps.
Step 20 : Paste and extract the folder.
Step 21 : Delete the remaining apps that System App Remover couldn't remove.( be careful deleting the wrong apps can be troublesome)
Step 22: NB!!!! Change the permissions on theses 3 apps to all permissions or your phone will keep bringing up alerts and freezing!!!!!
Step 23 : In any event copying the framework from another device you will be forced to do a Factory Reset to have it all fully functional!!!!
This worked for me. Thought I'd put the full list of instructions because it took me a few hours to gather all this info from a mix of sites.
All credit to everyone I resourced to finally get this working!!! This seems to have been an unresolved one on many sites with no tutorials for newbs.

Had this problem the other night, I fixed it by loading Xposed framework first in Adb, then installing with ADb command, after open Xposed framework and go to modules use the mouse to tick the ouya box. after this I ran the script to install google play and bam I was running. the batch file would time out on my network copy and the xposed framework so I bypassed it and it solved my issues.

I have had this issue also, did you see the license agreement for googIe Play when you first opened the play store? I never got the license pop-up so I went back into Exposed are re-ran the installer and then rebooted. Once the ouya came back up I went back into google play and the license agreement screen appeared. Once I accepted the license, google play store loaded without issue.

Album removed as default picture launcher

I removed Album as the default picture launcher like done by venkat kamesh (link to original thread is at the end) for other Xperia models following his nice tutorial , after installing you can choose which app will be used for opening your pictures out of the camera.

Instructions for MM (use the attached file SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk)
device needs to be rooted
make a backup of your original "/system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release/" folder so you can restore the original behaviour if needed.
copy my SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk to "/system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release/" folder to override the original file
change the permissions of SemcCameraUI.apk to the ones the original app has (rw-r--r--):
Code:
chmod 644 SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk
delete oat folder
reboot - enjoy!
Instructions for LP (use the attached file SemcCameraUI.apk)
device needs to be rooted
make a backup of your original "/system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI" folder so you can restore the original behaviour if needed.
copy my SemcCameraUI.apk to "/system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI/" folder to override the original file
change the permissions of SemcCameraUI.apk to the ones the original app has (rw-r--r--):

will it work with marshmallow?
No, this version is only working for Lollipop.
I will make a MM version in the following days and post it here.

I managed to modify the apk, unfortunately it doesn't start any longer, no idea why ... Any hints what could go wrong after recompiling the apk with apktool and cause the app to crash? I did it the same way as with LP ...

Yeah, I haven't made the jump to mm for a lot of reasons, xposed modules being a big one
Should work by now with MM, see first post for instructions!
Happy Easter

On my device it works without having the oat-folder and as far as I know the oat-folder won't be created again, because the apk is deodexed ...
I just downloaded my file again and did the whole process again and it still works .
Did you do it (copy the file and set the permissions) via adb?
Could you try it again?
md5 is: 43774a75b358b255ca629c0bfd56e289
md5 is correct, I set permissions with total commander, I did it with root explorer too, the permissions are correctly set (rw-,r--,r--) but camera app is nowhere to be found ... I will try with adb and see
The camera is missing after I did this.
Tried it on Marshmallow, can you help bro?
Followed the instructions carefully. Thank you
Tried via adb, doesn't work as well.
Upon checking the file SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk its still my default apk and not the one i pushed with adb (the one i downloaded here), the oat folder was still there as well. Pretty sure I deleted it via adb as well and no error showed up.
Update: Tried it again via adb, this time SemcCameraUI-generic-xhdpi-release.apk pushed properly with correct permissions and oat folder deleted as well. But the camera is now missing again. Any ideas? Thank you
I had somehow similar problems that I can't explain ... just copy back your original files including the oat folder and check if its working again (it should) and afterwards try it again. For me it works ...

Thanks but tried it like 3 times already, no luck still.
Not working for me either on 6.0.1 -.-
Seems like .apk is broken or something (when opening .apk get parsing error )
and when replacing original .apk Camera disappears like the other ones said

Hello, what about using Xposed to create a module like the one working for Lollipop?
it would be a lot easier for people instead of replacing files, messing with odex files and It could probably support all the MM releases. If i have some time i could try to do it, but i'm not as skilled as you.
Apart from that, thank you a lot for the work! I've been searching this since ever.
modified camera for MM 6.0.1
Herewith modified camera file from 32.2.A.0.224
For me it works like a charm.
Enjoy!!

Specific Gcam crashing

Hi, I have recently came back to stock after trying some roms.
I have enabled the needed things for a Gcam and left the bootloader unlocked.
I tried downloading the MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_V1.3.030119.0645 apk from this site https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
but after opening the app it crashed. I tried Arnova's v8.3b1 Gcam and it worked so Gcam should work. I also tried clearing the app's storage and cache.
Any idea why it is crashing?
Thanks.

What have you done to enable the things needed for gcam? Rooted? Camera2 API enabled? Provide more information and you will more likely get an answer.
Working great for me after using the config file edited for Tolyan's apk. Seems like a default setting issue.
Copy attached xml contents in /data/data/org.codeaurora.snapcam/shared_prefs/ prefs file (biggest one). Force close app and launch again

I used a guide from the forums here.
what I did was unlock the bootloader, boot twrp, flash magisk, install magisk manager.
then I used those commands:
adb shell
su
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.camera.stats.test 5
setprop persist.vendor.camera.stats.test 5
setprop persist.camera.eis.enable 1
exit
exit
then I uninstalled magisk.
but I didn't lock the bootloader, as I wanted to see it was working.
According to Camera2 probe It worked as my support level is LEVEL_3.

I found a folder by the name of org.codeaurora.snapcam in andoird/data. Tried moving the xml to there and it didn't work.
Am I missing something? I can't find the data folder.
Maybe I need root access to find this folder?
Thanks
edit: I was able to find the loaction of the file by having root.
changing it didn't work.
I found another gcam that is working and also don't have green tint so i will use this one instead.
Thanks for the help

Well that was really nice of you to share that patched APK with the rest of us in case someone else has the same issue. We really appreciate that.
Can you please share the patched APK @profusion ?
Or can @nicefile share again his APK?
Hi Everyone,
So I wanted to be able to use the HBO app as well, and hence starting messing around with the various tools available for this purpose. Although Android Studio would be a better choice, for this specific purpose I feel these tools are faster.
I will have to say that I managed to get HBO GO for Eastern Europe to work on Firestick, but although I am able to install HBO Spain it will not launch.
The idea was right in basically changing version and build codes to "platformBuildVersionCode="22" platformBuildVersionName="5.1.0">" in the manifest.xml. But it is not that simple as the apk will then need to be aligned and resigned with a different keystore. This is easily done with various tools. Things I did:
1) Using apktools decompile the apk (i.e. ".\apktool d appname.apk)
2) Open "Androidmanifest.xml" in the project directory.
3) Change both "platformBuildVersionCode" and "platformBuildVersionName" to the appropriate sdk. Usually, for a newer firestick it would be "platformBuildVersionCode="22" platformBuildVersionName="5.1.0" - save the file.
4) Recompile the apk (i.e. ".\apktool b projectfoldername")
Now when trying to install the apk using adb you should get:
[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
This is a good sign and means the manifest was modified correctly. But the apk will now need to be resigned by:
1) Using zipalign to re-align your achive.
2) Place the zipalign.bat and Input/Output folders where "debug.keystore" is located (probably User/YourName/.android). If you can't find keystore there, just open and close a new project with android studio and it should be created.
3) Place your modified apk in the Input folder and re-align with "zipalign -v 4 C:\nameofapp.apk C:\nameofappc.apk
After a success message, copy your re-aligned apk from "Output." Lastly, the re-signing process. You can open a prompt in Android Studio/jre/bin as that's usually where the tools you need are.
1) Paste the apk from "Output" in the folder. Create debug.keystore by typing "keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -alias yourappname.apk -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 20000" - write what you wish in the prompts (name, pass etc).
2) Get a certificate with "jarsigner -verbose -keystore debug.keystore C:\yourappname.apk yourappname.apk". Remember that the app needs to be the re-aligned version. Paste it in the appropriate directory.
Then you will need to install the finished apk with your method, but I always use adb since it's easiest. Simply copy the finished apk into your adb directory, then:
1) .\ adb install C:/appname
That's about it. If you have any questions you can ask here, I'm sure someone will either respond (as lots of competent people here) or I can respond myself.
Edit: If you are wondering "why a guy who has 1 post is editing this" it's very simple. I wanted to watch HBO spain without Kodi (I hate it). So I googled a solution on how to import the current app into firestick. And I found this page, which was incomplete, but it was probably the best resource on how to do this.
Anyone made patch for this?

First, uninstall the old versoin of the app. And install this one. (The update not working, becouse of the different signing key.)
I didn't have any version of the apk at the time of installation
