Gcam is working on xperience build .

Developer shared ss in discussion thread .

Anyone plzz try and report
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] NPriyo:
You are probably right. In the Gapp log, I saw that "New Camera API" status is False. Tried to enable it from build prop, didn't work. I guess it's also needs to be enabled in system framework.

I think 2 things needs to be enabled on 8.1 for GCam to work - HAL3 and HDR+.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antriksh8:
Yeah I have been doing the same in photoshop express. I have this problem only on GCam. Other app, which are also using camera 2api such as pro shot and snapcam, are capturing properly saturated colors.

Your hard work for Google camera modifying is such a good job

we are thankful to you for this

But problems are occurring on land (redmi3s)users

Your mod works great on below Android version 8.1 Oreo

But not working on Android 8.1

There are so many 8.1 ROMs available for land users but we can't use because of gcmod5

So please work on this issue

It crashes and crashes every time

Okay, I can confirm that file removal method is working on AEX 5.1 by Ritesh Saxena. Both B-S-G mod and Arnova8G2 mod are working properly.

Bad news is, I couldn't make both functions work together because I don't have what I need right now, so maybe tomorrow.

Good news is, I can give workaround for permanent video playback error (as some members said, that video playback is not working even after restoring the file).

All you have to do, is to move the backup file to Internal Memory or External Memory, and then delete the file from system.

After rebooting, install Google Camera and it will work. But video playback will only work in those apps which have their own decoder, like MX Player.

Whenever you want watch videos in other apps like YouTube, you'll have to copy the backup file to system, only via Recovery (not via any File Manager), set permission 644 and reboot. Now video playback will work, but not GCam.

Do opposite when you want the camera.

Directly copying the file is not working because it disappears after reboot. I guess the system has some bug, which also doesn't let some apps like Viper, Facebook be kept into system partition.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] SG3:
I'm doing same but instead of copy paste got flashable zip.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] arief.efendi:
Force close in rom RR official why?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] NPriyo:
I made one too, but only of the default file.

Does this zip make both functions work?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] SG3:
Nope this zip takes backup of your file instead of deleting.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] NPriyo:
So less headache for us. This will do for now.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] learnerz:
so if i flash this zip GCam will work right??
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] SG3:
Yes Gcam will work but video playback not.

You need original file in system/etc to this work.

Idk why but I can't rename that file with mixplorer that's why I created zip
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hrithik bachchas:
I flashed the zip and gcam worked but when changed bsg settings to get portrait it shows blank screen nothing working, please suggest me something and also share screenshot of your camera settings. I'm on pixel experience. Here is the screenshot which i get when enabling portrait.

apart from video playback issue any else problems present there after deleting the file??

Use Pixel Mod by Arnova8G2.

It has more features and most of them are working (except video and motion photo) .

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Probably bug in the Storage Manager or in the system itself. As I mentioned before, I can't move some APK into the system because of this, not even through recovery.

If you take a log and look into it, then you'll see that the camera can't run because of HAL error. Deleting that file probably makes GCam skip HAL checking.
