[APP] Snapdragon Camera v2.1

According to the QUALCOMM: Snapdragon camera app is designed to make it easier than ever to capture, edit, and share the moments that make life so special, which works with Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 800 series processors.
We have a powerful processor in OnePlus X, so we can benefit from this great Camera application. For extended details on the Snapdragon Camera, features and some samples please visit the official blog post here
How to install
>> A flashable zip for automatic installation is here
Thanks to @Einstein67
Manually:
Step 1:
Download required files
- Snapdragon Camera v2.1
- Snapcamtinyplanet.so
- Snapcammosaic.so
Step 2:
» Download the camera apk and lib.files [Snapcammosaic.so , Snapcamtinyplanet.so] into your device.
» Open any root explorer app and navigate to device/internal storage>system>lib>place the two lib files downloaded above{cut/paste}. Also change permissions to each lib to 0644 (-rw-r--r--).
» Similarly, place the snapdragon camera app [apk.file] in device/internal storage>system>app and again change permissions to apk to 0644 (-rw-r--r--).
» Now, reboot your device to activate the changes and enjoy! :victory:

any sample shot comparisons?

Root needed ?

Yeah I guess because you have to cut/paste the needed libs in the "system" folder..

Maybe later, dont have much time now, but until then just try it and see for yourself! It's a super easy procedure! :laugh:

Excellent! Thanks! Camera is lightning fast! No more delay after taking a pic

Lots of options, but can't save to SD card. It will save to USB OTG though, I clicked on this even though I had no USB plugged in and it gave me a toast of couldn't locate SD card, which won't go away now. It works nicely though and some will find it useful.

@jackshot you've forgotten a very important point. The permissions have to be changed on both the libs and on the apk too.

Will that change the quality of the pics too? I know it sounds silly to ask, but I installed it yday, it worked but photos looked worse (much, much brighter) than on stock app. Also, after using this app the normal camera apk wouldn't boot.

Oh, my bad.. Actually a friend asked me to try it and I decided to share it with the community.. What permissions should we set on libs and apk? If you know, I will add it to instructions..

Right after trying this camera I tried the battery mod posted in the other sub-forum and unfortunately turned my phone into a brick. I solved it now but the photos are lost Not going to install it again, at the end of the day I realised that the oneplus app is the fastest and the google photo app will do the job too.

Well maybe it was battery mod's fault then?

This camera worked, the only issue I had was that any other camera wouldn't open afterwards (had to fc the snapdragon camera), but maybe that's related to the missing permissions, that info came after I tried it.

Where's this app taken from? I also saw this post but they doesn't mention any source.

The files were sent to me by a friend in order to test them in my OPX.. I just shared them here with the community.
I guess he got it from Oneplus One's thread..

Working perfect! I was using it with Sultanxda CAF ROM in my Oneplus One and love it. Best camera App IMHO.
Thanks dude!

Followed steps exactly but it's not working. The app just starts goes to a black screen and closes

Works quite well in my Zenfone 5z and the night mode is snappy: https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/themes/apk-google-camera-6-1-021-modded-t3880003
Ofcourse the front camera is bad because of the lack of Api2.
This is better but takes several seconds in night mode: https://www.asus.com/zentalk/in/thread-248308-1-1.html
But the result with night mode is amazing.
I have them both on my phone. Asus pixelmaster is for video and selfies and sometimes in good light conditions.

[19/3/19] Working Gcam For Pie!

This thread is aimed to be as simple as possible.
I found 2 apks that worked for me. I created this thread because I'm sick of scrolling through the comments on which one works, and which one doesn't. So, here it is.
*NOTES* All Pixel Gcam mods will have autofocus issues. These don't have any quality degradation from my testings.
1. @fu24 Pixel 2 Gcam v.5.2.025-Final - Everything works. But I recommend to use this only for the front camera.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-17f.apk
2. @cstark27 Pixel 3 Gcam P3v10.1 - This is the best in terms of focus hunting, when taking pics, don't tap to focus. Let the app hunt for focus until it's clear. If it won't focus on the object, just switch between portrait and normal mode. Sometimes the pic comes out a bit soft. I'd recommend you to take multiple pics and select the clearest one. Thanks to @Sonudbm for mentioning this apk. The front camera still doesn't work.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/P3v10.1_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
I will update this thread whenever there's a better version(s).
Feel free to leave any comments.

Maybe this autofocus issue is device dependent. :/

Raw capture gives you vastly more detail than jpeg (or JPG), but with the cost of lower picture quality, it can be fixed by editing the photos. I'd recommend the 1st one, if you don't want all the flashy features. If you night sight mode as well, install the 2nd one along side.

Same here :/

Neither of these updates fix the focus issue with it endlessly refocussing. Does anyone know what the actual issue is with the Mi A1 and Pie? Is a Dev looking into this specifically. This is the only way it'll get fixed. Seems like no one knows it's an issue?

Sorry to say this, but both cameras have focus issues..
Does any one know Whether there is a 9.0 pie custom rom where no focus issue on GCam.
(i won't bother about green tint issue though)

I am still on 8.1 until we get something that works perfectly, do I need to unlock my bootloader and install the Camera 2 API again or that is not necessary?

Sorry to break it to all of you, but I really personally think that this autofocus issue is device dependent. I would recommend you to try random Gcam apks from that site (that's what I did). I think every device would have different apks that works for them.

Haters will say it's wrong!

Hello people!!
There is no GCAM Port of pixel 3 (the one with night mode) that fully works on PIE on MI A1. I have tested every recent version of every developer on the page of Celso Azevedo. In almost every version, all things work, except for portrait mode with front camera (green tint present when HDR enable) This is not what we want, because there is a huge difference between portrait with or without HDR.
The only one version that I find that it is working on portrait with HDR is one for pixel 2 (it hasn´t got night mode) from ARNOVA. The version is: gcam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-v8.3b1.apk. This is my actual camera now.
I hope some developer could accomplish the same but with pixel 3 gcam mod.
Greetings !!!!

Most of the times when you install a gcam port you have to make some changes at the settings of the app. I don't know if this is the case for this port also. But I guess this must be it. @sivansk could elaborate...

Why do you use Gcam when the Stock is amazing and have all that features and works without any problems..

Camera2 API abilities info dump

FYI
Sony XQ-AT51, Sony, XQ-AT51
Android 10 - 4.19.81-perf+
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_HSfBxDdIs1jsp9d_Ht7a3_3F1FvqTznY5C3TYeDx8w/edit?usp=sharing
In table format:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ggxTnVHuBWB0Gnl8txUGgDdiaCdUPCV-sCwyeB1yr-o/edit?usp=sharing
Only the main 24mm camera has FULL support for Camera2 API. The rest of the cameras all have LIMITED support.
The telephoto camera is actually a 20MP Samsung sensor that's cropped in to output a 12MP "70mm" image.
NOTE: Judging from the specs, Camera 0 and Camera 2 are the same camera. They're just reported twice in the Camera2API info dump.

Can you just post the full error log here?
nullpointerexception errors are the result of code trying to reference something that doesn't exist. So for example, Gcam runs some code on startup, but that code is trying to run a function or something that doesn't actually exist on the Xperia. This causes everything to crash.

Hopefully an Android Camera2 API developer can chime in. I see where the errors are, what objects they're trying to reference, but I'm unable to find any documentation or previous questions on Stack or GitHub that could possibly point to what the problem is.

@Arnova8G2 can u please check on this error log? I think some users also reports Camera Go apk is not working on Xperia 1 II despite not requiring Camera2API. Is it not possible to run gcam at all on the Xperia 1 II?

Gcam would be so fckn awesome on this phone... I love photo pro but i want gcam for portrait and night mode.
