Google Camera Go (unlocked) - Google Camera Mods

Google Camera Go
Unlocked Mod ~ by mjun
based on Google Camera Go v2.3.366173626​
In this thread you can find Google Camera Go Mod with all features, that were locked to specific vendor/model, unlocked for any mobile phone.
Available camera modes
Filters (Sepia, mono, negative, posterize, aqua)​
Portrait​
Photo (with HDR and night mode)​
Video​
Translate (aka Lens) - take picture of text and see translation​
Additional settings
Timer (off, 3 seconds, 10 seconds)​
Photo aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9)​
Grid type (off, on)​
Save selfie as previewed​
Save location​
Storage location (phone or SD card)​
About this mod and some background
In future, I plan to to provide at least two versions of this mod:
vanilla version - as close as possible to original APK. No customization, no optimization. Only minimal code changes to use all previously locked features. If you want a clean Google Camera Go APK as a base for your own mod this might be a good starting point.​
optimized/configurable version - I'll either introduce model specific optimizations or provide additional settings screens for configuration (for photo resolution, number of cameras etc.). What road I might take will greatly depend on community interest, my free time and how challenging it might be to introduce certain changes to this obfuscated mess of decompiled code.​
I currently own Samsung S9 with LOS 17.1 and Sony Xperia XA2 with Sailfish OS 4.1 (which uses android 10 emulator) and will do my best to make the most out of those two mobile phones (and yes, selfie camera does work in this mod on Samsung S9).
My primary motivation for this mod is to have a very usable camera on my Sony XA2 (and soon Xperia 10 II) with Sailfish OS - that's why I decided to use Go variant as a base and not a "full" Google camera. It has much smaller code footprint and runs much better in emulated environment on sailfish. Having said that, this mod might be interesting to anyone that simply can't run reliably existing "full" GCam mods and is not satisfied existing stock app experience (this is basically true for everyone running Lineage OS )
I'm currently making vanilla version available for you to play with.

Other interesting info
While browsing decompiled code I found out couple of interesting bits and pieces. There are two additional camera modes under the hood but are unfinished: Panorama mode and Snap (snapchat?) mode. Both are non-functional and therefore still hidden. Panorama mode has all the animation and intro assets already in place, along with slider menu and translations for description and name of mode, but the whole shutter section is completely missing. Snap mode exists both as a yellow "hotkey" on photo, portrait and video modes but camera feed doesn't work and shutter does nothing (apart from animation while you hold the shutter button). All in all it's really interesting to see what the upcoming Camera Go features might be available in future versions.
There is also full support for multiple cameras (bokeh, ultra-wide, telephoto, macro) but this is hard-coded to specific makes/models and currently I don't see and simple way of "just enabling it" (I might be mistaken though). For now I'll add two new mobile makes/models (S9, XA2) and concentrate on making those two work. This is also ideal testing environment for me as XA2 has only single rear/front camera setup while S9 has dual selfie camera. We'll see how all of this works out.

Thanks for the app! Filters are not working on Asus Zenfone 8.

When you say "not working", you mean:
- app crashes OR
- functionality itself doesn't provide expected result
?
Can you provide some stack trace / log of what happens when you try to open filters? Unfortunately I don't have this device so can't test it myself.

The functionality is not working. Not applying filters. How can I provide a trace/log?

On Samsung A50 the filters work, I just tried with seppia and it was applied correctly.

Usually by connecting your device to your computer and running adb logcat and looking for lines that contain the word cameralite. But there are also logcat (and general logging) applications available for running directly on phone.
But if I'm not mistaken Asus Zenfone 8 is running on Android 11 - I think this will not work correctly as Google Camera Go is supporting Android versions from 8.0 to 10.0. I think that next round of budget phones will use Android Go 11 platform which will in turn also provide newer Go flavored apks which might be better supported.

my a50 is running android 11 and the filters seems to work correctly.
I didn't tested other functionality apart taking some photos and the seppia filter.

Thanks! Yes, I'm on A11. Also noticed that photos not stamped with location.

the app is great but I would love an aux micro camera it would be perfect

big thank for this work !
work fine on my nexus 5 , only location don't work .

If you could increase the resolution of night mode to at least 8mp and make hdr image a little sharper with lesser exposure, it would be perfect for many many devices without gcam , would really appreciate if you can ( if possible).

Working great here on a Redmi Note Pro 5 running LoS 18.1. Thank you for your efforts.
Edit: location tagging isn't working on my device, night mode looks a little worse than Greatness' GCamGo, and a few other little issues on my particular device. It's still a viable option for many users wanting a version of GCamGo for their devices.

I wish the option to mute camera sounds was there.
Other than that, very good and thank you.

Camera GO <v2.8 has an issue with my phone were pressing the capture button does nothing. Camera GO 2.8 works fine, however, I'd love to have this modded version working! Any chances of porting this to 2.8?

Awesome! Just what I needed running a AOSP ROM.
Looking forward to future releases

This is the best version of modded gcam go so far, thank you, sir!
Eidt, eventually more features will be available, so I hope something in the community will keep the gcam go modding scene alive, reason being that this app can run on Exynos devices, and that's a big win!

It's good to see new Gcam go mod. I'll have check this.
Anw, do you have find a way to use regular Gcam in XA2 without UB?

Why is there no "great" universal camera app?

Replacing TouchWiz with the clean new look of lollipop is something I wish I could do, but some missing features ruin it for me! Crashes, GPS problems, and especially the camera.
I take a lot of pictures, and I enjoy the Samsung Camera. Having to use Google Camera is just.. bleh. It's simple. WAY too simple.
Why is there really no solid, universal camera application? There are many camera apps on the play store, but I've tested almost all of them, and they ALL lack something important.
Has anyone else desired a powerful universal camera application?
Or know of one that isn't missing any key features.
Try open camera? I love it. Doesn't have beauty face and extra modes but as far as an actual camera for free it's great Imo
I'm assuming you talking about running a non-touchwiz rom that doesn't come with the Samsung camera.?
Surely you can find an apk for a compatible version. ?
The latest stable version of cyanogenmod 13 in the original android section is running pretty stable for me. No GPS problems or crashes. Just make sure to turn off the automatic brightness since that's a bit wonky.
As far as camera apps. Try a better camera or ABC I think it's called. It's pretty feature packed.
Snapcamera. Hands down the best out of the box in terms of features and control over settings. Now, the proprietary camera app that Samsung bundles has lower level access to the hardware that no 3rd party developer can tango with...yet. The low light options work the sensor differently from what I understand (takes multiple high speed images and composites them, that's why it tells you to hold still when snapping the shot). That being said, if you hate touchwiz, which I do, run with CM13, grab Snapcamera, be happy.

About to get this phone and have a few questions.

Hello all. just looking for some wise advice.
1: I see a lot of talk about rooting the phone. Is the just for the installation of a custom ROM, or for better functionality? I don't need cool heavy metal ROM surfaces my desktop is all black with all buttons hidden.
2: I saw no mention of bloatware, but generally speaking, how pure of an android experience is this? Can I simply uninstall whatever programs I want?
3: Any comments on the voice activation and and ease of use?
I basically need a gutsy daily driver, with good photo capabilities, (I also take photos at night as a part of my security job at a factory, and sometimes the photos for california License plates which are white reflect a lot of light and blur out on my Motorola Moto X pure), that I can give commands to while I am driving to take pictures and make calls, and check messages.
Is this the phone ror me?
Thanks!
1)Stock Rom behave as good as any custom rom. Most of the time people root their phone to have extra permission they may need to run apps that need it
2)You can remove every single piece of bloatware using ADB, no root needed
3)Works fine and is quite fast
Photos on stock rom are not Flagship level but neither crap.
For good photo capabilities I suggest you to use google camera with camera2 api enabled. The best way to achieve this is with magisk I think since with it you can hide root from various apps too while be able to enable camera2 api. But beware you should be on a firmware that a patch is available to make gcam working with it (library things.. Xiaomi changes things there a lot).
Or maybe you'd prefer a china based miui rom since the stock cam quality is better on china firmware. But for that prefer roms like xiaomi eu (because the stock china miui is in chinese and apps are default chinese apps)

Is OxygenOS camera take better photos than Google Camera ?

As title. I really want to know the differences between 2 camera apps on OnePlus 5T hardware, as I want to try custom ROM but afraid of missing the ability to take portrait mode photos.
I've tried a couple of custom ROM's. But as of now nothing beats OOS Camera features. Interestingly, someone started this thread just today. Thinking of trying out these custom ROM's
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/custom-rom-oos-camera-included-default-t3851694
I totally agree with "poythegraeat" but at the moment I cannot find a good AOSP custom rom with OOS cam included and I'll never use a decripted smartphone or a closed source rom. I'll stay with LOS for microg + gcam under privacyguard and firewall. I also tried the OOS porting for lineage but videos are not working in 1080p, 18:9 cause app crashing.. now it's still really buggy.
Differences gcam vs OOS cam: at the daylight, in optimal condition, they are very similar (You must use "5t library fix" and "Pixel 2 colour" magisk module, and you must use hdr+ too, otherwise you will get glitchy photo). In very low light gcam is totally unusable. In normal low light is barely acceptable (OOS is totally better in low light).. Video stability,portrait mode and slow motion is lost with gcam. If your concern is privacy and you want a custom rom, I think that gcam is a good option. If you only need customization: my advice is strongly to use oxygenos and root it.
@rmroot
What you think OOS is closed source?
https://github.com/OnePlusOSS
OOS has mixed licence (and so closed source too), it's not fully open source. OOS has closed source apks and parts of the sistem that log the user like a malware could do, if you are interested in this particular topic I suggest you to search on the subreddit "privacytoolsIO". You will find a recent post about OxygenOS privacy and some analyzes posted on twitter by a security researcher.
@rmroot I'm a Geek and Professional already on these topics...
I've been doing this a very long time, personally and professionally, sorry if I confused you. I keep making assumptions with comments like that because we are on a Android Developers forum...
Anyhow I should of thought before I posted that...
I meant it's Open in the Context outside of Google and what manufacturers have in the way of their hardware firmware blobs.
So outside of Google and hardware firmware blobs, that's the Open I meant, and why there's a Repo...
Cheers

Possible that it's unsupported since it's unofficial. Do You waited some time? Format Data could also help after installing ROM and GApps and before installing Magisk and the Module. Havoc works just fine here... Would be nice to hear again from You!

When a update comes out, only is a dirty flash? no need to make wipes?

Correct, another benefit over my last Patches. The next Update requires a deinstall with the actual Zip since I'm still translating from My last Patch and some rests are actually present in the actual Patch like the Module Prop which says FFUHD 8.0 (Last Patch before XASP). But after that can You just update without trouble!
I'm btw. the Maintainer for the Mix 2 besides doing the main Patch. If You face any Issues feel free to call Me on this Thread. I have also a Hangouts Group since some Years which will be soon added to the Patch, Threads, GitHub and the Website. It's easy to reach over the Web (Gmail or Hangouts Websites) or the App which will be also included next (As Support App since most People are using a Google Acc.).
Best Regards,
Miu

In simple words... It does configure and optimize what the Most OEMs and AOSP ROMs don't do. They only Care about the UI and useless Gimmicks while XASP goes under the Hood. Better Audio Quality (In and Output), 4K Resolution Playback, HDR Playback Support, Battery calibration, Rendering optimizations (ui and Apps), responsiveness in all conditions (Apps Speeds, Multitasking), UI function unlocks (Display Rotation, Serial Number visible in Settings etc.). The list is endless. You need to expierence it before You think i'm talking BS
So we cant use this on stock MIUI 10?

You can, but it's made for Android 9 and we are running 8.0.0 not even 8.1. So Problems may happen and i can't solve them without breaking the Android 9 Support...

So MIUI 10 is based on 8.0.0 ,there shouldnt be any problems?
I flashed this on POSP (9.0) and it booted. I did remove the many APKs from the zip, but it still seemed to work. It might have been placebo but it did seem a tad smoother.

But it's also broken charging. Fast charging is broken. I left it on charge for 30 minutes and it charged -1%. It seems to be limited to 100-120mAh according to Ampere. Setting Magisk to Core Only mode also doesn't fix this, so I've had to revert to a backup as removing via magisk + core only mode were still limited to the low charge level. If this is a systemless mod, why has it affected my system after disabling it ?

So ignore the above, it was just a coincidence at after flashing the mod, my charger/cable decided that it was going to report as 100mAh max. Nothing to do with the mod, so I'll do some further testing

I can really recommend You UGreen Cables and Chargers. I bought some for My GF with QuickCharge and USB 3 and they are really durable, have great quality and they are cheap. I ordered directly from the Seller and got My Stuff pretty fast from China. I think they are even beyond the most Premium flagship Chargers and Cables...
But OT, thanks for Your Feedback. Can't wait for more! And You are maybe willed to check out GitHub to get Nighlies!? I changed a lot of stuff since i have My Mix 2 (Almost a Week or so) and till the next Monthly Release will be added a lot that's maybe worth a flash...
Bluetooth Audio and GMail Sync is still broken but i cleaned out some stuff and added a lot already. The Issues will be fixed till the Weekend (Hopefully).

Ah !!! Please don't take it wrong !! i'm really new to this stuff as i'm one of those who developed (i.e i did it two years ago) custom roms for devices.
Btw , what you said sounds really interesting !! I would love to assist you in this project. But, as i mentioned, i left it all two years ago, and need some guidance to restart the whole process. What do you think about it ?? ( it won't take much time to get back on track ).

I'll have a look at those chargers, I think I must have just knocked the cable/charger, it's a bit weird.
I flashed the github release yesterday since that was the most visible (I honestly couldn't find any other release, I've only just now been able to find it) and I haven't noticed any issues with GMail sync or the like. Battery usage seems a little lower than pre-flash, but that's not totally unusual.
Looking forward to see what other changes you make, keep up the good work :good:

It's all fine, i know that Questions already
I'm looking for since Years for someone who helps Me with AOSP (Making a own ROM based on AOSP (Actually a CAF GSI with own Vendors)) since People aren't taking My Work serious at all. I want to make a lot of Things different like with My Patches. If You're willed to help Me to realize My Visions feel free to PM Me!

Dangerous stuff!
Glad it works well for You. I'm actually uploading a experimental Set which breaks a lot of stuff but also adds a ton of things. Feel free to test it, it's always good to get feedback from other Devices/Systems. :highfive:
Doesn't work with RR. Somebody mentioned that it didn't work on AEX either. So maybe it's something specific to AndyYan' s build since he's the only one building these specific ROMs for Chiron. Or maybe what trees his builds are based on. But I have absolutely no clue about it. Maybe worth a look for ya...

General Current state of AOSP - Lineage/Pixel Exp/Etc...

Wanted to write a thread to give feedback on where AOSP devs are currently at with AOSP ROMs for those who are interested. Don't want you to think that there is no development in this area.
While there are GSI out there, I think ROMs built from source are the better option.
While GSIs are meant to be that, generic, I don't think this is a proper replacement for ROMs since there are many brands it tries to encompass and not to mention, the GSIs devs may not be able to fix bugs for your particular device or brand, it's just the nature of GSI.
Anyway, we currently have a secret testing group where almost daily builds are pushed, trying to polish the builds and fix some of the bugs that are still present. It's getting closer and closer to being bugless.
Here's the current state of AOSP ROMs for A52s:
Working:
- Bluetooth
- BT Audio
- NFC
- Casting
- Vibration
- Brightness and autobrightness
- Display at 60/120hz
- Audio/Mic
- Wifi/Tethering
- All Cameras (rear camera @ 4k 30fps)
- Face unlock
- Factory reset
- Pixel Features (unlim. google photos, game booster...)
- AOD & At a glance widget
Not working:
- RIL
- Fingerprint (only unlocking is broken)
Sensors:
Accelerometer: working
Geom. Field: working
Gyro: working
Light: working
Proximity: working
Gravity: working
GPS: working
The following devs have done an amazing job for AOSP development on this device, I know with their combined contribution, we'll soon start getting stable trees which will lead to better and more stable ROMs:
@Alone0316
@PauloWesley
@BlackMesa123
@Simon1511
@Ryzen5950XT
And of course special thanks to all the testers which have to reset their devices almost daily to get these tests done. You guys are a part of this too. I'll continue to update this thread when anything major breakthrough happens and/or it's stable for release. Most of this doesn't get reported on outside the testing group so I wanted to give this feedback so that users don't lose total hope on this device for people who love AOSP.
LOVE IT
Hats off to all the people trying hard to put a52s in development radar
!!!!!!!
Nice team work
Waiting for official lineage
AOSP? Love it.. very appreciate for those who will make it happens.. salute
thank you for the update, can't wait
Keep up the good work you guys
Is there a possibility to put Samsung apps (Like Samsung Store) in the AOSP version?

Only AOSP-compatible apps can run on non-Samsung ROM's, such as Galaxy Watch, Samsung Health, Samsung Internet etc.

Oh that's sad. I love aosp but I can't give up Samsung Store for now. Guess I'll stick to samsung roms for now.
excellent news. i was always wondering why a hugely popular devices as A52s did not get proper custom ROMs yet, good to hear there is progress being made.
Will the official pixel experience repository be uploaded?

Finally yessss
You are my only hope custom ROMs
I just bought this phone and it was a big mistake.
-It's full of bloatware
-There is 0 customization unless you register a samsung account
-The volume slider is only 15 steps instead of 30 so music is either too loud or too quiet for me
-I can't skip tracks by holding down the volume keys
-The notification at the top of the list doesn't get extended automatically
-When I view the opened apps it switches off the app I'm currently in. (SUPER ANNOYING)
Other than that there are actually a fiew things that are really cool:
-I can turn off the app drawer
-The camera app
-Full black background theme in samsung default apps (like calculator, messages, calendar, etc..)
-The calculator has some cool features
-No navigation bar at the bottom with gesture controls
-Keyboard can be positioned to the bottom of the screen without a gap.

You can download the Sound Assistant module from the Galaxy Store

I think yeah you will need a Samsung account but I'm not sure
Oh! That would be awesome!
I switched from OP3 with HavocOS to A52s in May and... it's been "fine" but I do miss custom AOSP/Lineage features...
Any news about that?
No news, development has slowed down a bit
ShaDisNX255, thanks for the update. Please keep us updated. I keep checking daily for any news. If the development stops or slows down a lot to the point where it's months away before it's ready then I would go with your Android 13 ROM. I prefer bare bone simple ROMs but at the time I don't want to wait years either especially if your ROM is very good and ready to be installed. So if you come across any news please let us know. Thanks.
