Did you root with SuperSU? That always gave me camera problems. Switched to Magisk and haven't had a problem
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] spydergt:
yea i did use supersu but i just flashed the pixel rom , it doesnt have root the previous file i used to add root didnt work either , can you link the file for rooting the pixel rom ? root is a must , i have to block dem ads
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] roygbiv859:
Sorry, but Im on the stock rom. You can try the Magisk root guide on here and see if it works. Make a back up first
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] spydergt:
Thanks for the recomendation! i flashed the pixel rom and am very happy with it. it fixed the camera issue i was having and its an 8.1 which is leaps and bounds ahead. my previous phone had a locked bootloader from at&t so it was permantly stuck on 4.3.1 i could not flash it at all.

custom rom or stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] arpcpro:
Can this be easily replaced?

I have an S7 (non Edge) that when I turn on the speaker mode, the other party cannot hear me. I broke the display and sent it to a non official store for replacement. After the display replacement it was like this, and the store didn't fix after keeping the phone for a month this second time.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] naiku:
Does anyone know if there is a ROM available for the Note 10.1 that has similar functionality to TImur's ROM for the Nexus 7? I have been running a Nexus in my car for a few years now and recently picked up a Note 10.1 for a steal, while it would need some fabrication to fit in the car I suspect it may fit. But, unless there is a ROM specifically to handle things like deep sleep, wake on power, mounting of flash drives etc then I may not bother.

Thanks.

So if I apply the chromatic mode, do I still have to enable the Camera2 API?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] iBART:
It's my bad. I would like to know if there is a way to disable Camera2 api. I am on Linage 14.1 and I edited my prop.build (yeah, I know). I switched back to the original line of code, but camera app still crashing. How to revert without reflashing the rom? Thanks.

edit. reflashed.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dishe:
Nope, but it doesn't hurt to so why not? Some apps will have more options in camera2 if enabled.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ayybel:
There is another way to enable camera2 api if you're using a custom ROM. You need to flash a magisk module.

Which Google camera works in a complete stock g5? I keep getting a praising error with every one I try.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dishe:
Parsing error means you are probably trying to use a 64-bit or one made for a different version of Android (7.1 instead of 7.0). The one linked above will work.

However, all recent versions of Google's Camera require the camera2 api to work. That's one of the primary reasons to enable the Camera2 api in my opinion. It comes in the stock rom, but it is disabled for some inexplicable reason (G5S model has it enabled, so some people are hoping that we'll get it enabled with an update or at least when Oreo rolls around). The good news is that it only takes one line of text in the build.prop file to enable it on the G5+. However, the bad news is that build.prop is part of the protected system partition, so editing it requires root-level file access. Doesn't seem to be any way to do that without unlocking the bootloader, so either way you won't be able to do it on a 100% stock g5+ as things are right now.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] eemgee:

New gcam from savitar

UPDATE: Better gcam version from Savitar/Defcomg

http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00826724446841525700

Features:

Burst Mode (hold shutter button)

Focus doesn't drift when switching from video mode (this is a huge fix IMO- old app would drift after setting focus in video mode).

Selfie cam now has HDR as well (with caveats)

RAW image capture with each photo!

Instructions for use are largely the same as the old app, but it works better / more reliably now:

WHEN USING APP FOR THE FIRST TIME, GO INTO SETTINGS AND CHANGE VIDEO TO 4K. This will prevent FCs.

To take a picture:

1) Swipe left to switch to video mode, tap to focus

2) Once focus is achieved, swipe right to return to photo mode. (Focus should not drift in this version)

3) Tap the area again in photo mode, and hit the shutter button.

NOTES:

It appears that you no longer need to press-and-hold to lock focus in photo mode before shooting. I believe this is because the focus system doesn't adjust anymore in photo mode (I'm guessing Savitar/Defcomg removed it to combat that focus drifting problem). It is already locked at wherever you put it in video mode. You DO however need to still tap the screen as if you are focusing. I think this is because the camera needs to think it is focusing, but it is anyway helpful to tap somewhere for metering / exposure reading purposes. Skipping the press-and-hold to lock focus makes it a lot more manageable.

This version of the app is setup to shoot RAW+Jpeg, so you will find your camera roll will have both a jpeg and DNG file of the shot. Be aware that the RAW DNG files are multiple times larger than the jpeg, so you may want to keep an eye on storage if you shoot a lot of them. They're really useful if you want to adjust WB and exposure afterwards, quality is astoundingly good.

Selfie Mode was broken in HDR+ on earlier builds because for some reason the front camera on our phone doesn't return an ISO value to the app (says iso is zero). The HDR+ algorithm would fail. Savitar/defcomg fixed it by setting it always return a value (he picked 100, otherwise it would overexpose in daylight). The catch is that in lower lighting, the selfie HDR+ comes out darker than expected. Thankfully you can take the RAW file and adjust the exposure in post if needed (snapseed, Lightroom mobile, etc). But there might be times it is just too dark to be useful. The difference when it works is big enough that I recommend it trying it at least once to compare.

ENJOY!

Big shout out to [MENTION=377973]defcomg[/MENTION] for this and all his awesome mods!

Landscape gcam 6p

A modified version of the APK above is available which starts the camera off focused at infinity.

http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=31694573387513766779

This was made for people who want to shoot landscapes and/or things far enough away that they don't want to deal with focusing (swipe to video mode, etc). See a beautiful sunset for example, open this app, tap the sky and hit the shutter. Its already focused in the right position.

Otherwise identical to previous post's apk. Can be installed side-by-side, as each app has its own ID.

Nice, will add a link to that post in the section about 64-bit roms. So much happening in that space so fast- I just saw an example of the new ported portrait mode from the pixel 2 working a 64-bit PE rom on our phones. Wild stuff!

Yes, you are right. When I cleaned up the text for better formatting I must have accidentally grabbed the word "or" from the next line as part of the syntax. Fixing it now.

Apparently someone in the camera mod group on Telegram just posted an example of this working on his G5+. But it suffers from the focus drift issue we had in early ports of gcam, and as expected it needs an x64 rom to run. There's a chance Savitar/defcomg or others will apply a fix to the focus the same way we had previous apps, but this will likely never work on stock roms (or anything 32-bit).
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:

New version of Gcam being worked on by Savitar/Defcong- now with manual focus controls!

http://www.filedropper.com/gcammfmr6

This is version MR6, it is a WIP but very good and worth using over the previous version I posted here.

Note: there are some settings under "potter" that are placeholders for future options and non-functional now (for things like toggling on/off raw capture, etc). But using this version on a recent trip to Arizona, I found it very stable and the manual focus controls were great for landscapes verses macro shots.

A quick refresher on how it is used, for example to capture a landscape:

1) Slide manual focus bar on right of screen to infinity

2) Tap any area on screen for exposure (important to do this, as the app isn't armed to snap until you tap anywhere)

3) Hit the shutter.

4) PROFIT

If I wanted to take a macro shot,

1) Slide the bar all the way to the bottom where it is the closest possible focus point.

2) Tap anywhere to arm

3) Shutter

You can also manually dial in the value if you know exactly how far the subject is from the camera, or you can pinch to zoom and move the slider around to check when the subject looks sharp (make sure you pinch to zoom out before taking the shot!)

And of course, for any normal snapshot in which you don't know how far your subject is and want to autofocus, make sure the slider is in the auto position, then the old method (swipe to video mode) still works.

In case you don't remember:

1) Swipe left for video mode

2) Make sure focus slider is on Auto (this is new)

3) tap on subject to focus

4) repeat if it doesn't look like focus took the first time

5) swipe right to go back to photo

6) tap to arm, and shutter to take the pic.

Yeah I took a look at that. Its interesting for sure, but I don't think you're going to get vastly better photos out of it without an extreme amount of effort. And even then, it still won't be as good as gcam or even editing chromatix. I know warranties make people nervous, so I understand the hesitation, but honestly I can't recommend gcam enough. I'm including an example I took on my trip to Arizona as it appeared in camera (no editing in post). I had a $3000+ DSLR with me on this trip and some of the shots I didn't bother taking it out for. That's how good this is. They will be printed side-by-side with my "real" camera pictures.

So while I understand the hesitation to lose your warranty on a $200-300 phone, if you think of it as a camera replacement for times you don't want to risk a far more expensive investment getting ruined, I'd argue that it is totally worth it. For me, its a no brainer.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] srb-:
Did you get it going imsurazz? I have the exact same issue, including the latest MR6 build... everything seems fine but I can't actually take a photo - tapping the shutter button becomes gray and no photo taken. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm rooted stock, with camera2 enabled.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Siddhartha9964:
Guys, if i flash the chromatix mod, will the stock camera stop working. Because the last time i tried.. i had to reflash the whole system. So, how to safely improve the camera quality?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dishe:
Ah, Did you tap somewhere on the scene first? I find you need to do this to make the app ready to snap a photo - I call it "tapping to arm the shutter" in the steps above, mostly for lack of a better term. If it ever gets locked up / grey, I can always break it out by swiping to video mode and back again- that seems to reinitialize the camera. Then tap somewhere to set the exposure point once you are back in photo mode, and hit the shutter button.

I'm not entirely sure why it does it, but I think what is happening is the app is trying to auto-focus and being told the camera is not ready since AF isn't responding (so it will grey out the shutter while it waits for the camera to report being ready, which obviously never comes). But if you tap somewhere to focus first (even though you already focused and it is locked), it seems to be OK with continuing to take the picture. I actually don't mind doing this as it gives me a second to choose a specific exposure point in the image to base the HDR on. For example, I can focus on a subject, then click the sky when I "arm the shutter" to make sure it doesn't blow out, and let HDR+ do its thing to make sure my subject still gets exposed.

No- part of the point of using the chromatix mod is that it will improve the stock camera app and any other camera app that is using the older camera API. I use my stock app for video all the time still, and a quick shake brings it back up just like it did when my phone was new.

What do you mean you had to flash the whole system? Oh, did you try to use the flashable zip on a stock encrypted rom? Maybe if you are rooted you should consider using a file explorer with root access to modify the lib files?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] srb-:
Ah... can't remember, but I feel like I would have tried that.

In the end I flashed the 64-bit Pixel Experience ROM, installed the GCam port and all is well (except for low-light green tint that I'm sure will be fixed soon.)

This camera really is fantastic... my GF needs a new phone, and normally I would never suggest a year-old model... but at this price point, with the Pixel software, I don't think much can beat it!
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dishe:
Nice- glad its working for you! And I agree, the combo of gcam on the camera on this thing really pushes limits!

How's PE? I've heard good things, but I didn't like the battery life on it. Also, personally want to avoid the whole IMEI deletion thing some folks have discovered the unofficial Oreo roms doing when flashing. Going to wait for official Oreo to come out (the promised it will... eventually... sigh).

Stock with G-cam is everything I need at the moment!
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Siddhartha9964:
By whole system i mean, i could not get the camera working after i used the libmm and chromatix mod. So i replaced it with stock files which i had backedup. But still couldn't get the camera working. By "camera working" i mean whenever i opened the camera i used to get "couldn't connect to camera". So i had to flash the stock rom again from the ADB. But even then it didn't work. So downloaded the stock twrp flashable rom. Then it started working.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] washoq:
PE is great. I flashed many of Oreo roms and I always ended up returning to PE.

Coupled with Alize battery is very satisfying.
