Some point tonight.

If you want to make your own??

Do This.....

1. Uninstall magisk mod

2. Reboot

3. Install whatever gcam you want, don't open it though

4. Copy the gcam install directory from data/app somewhere

5. Extract the contents of the magisk mod somewhere

6. Put the contents of the folder in data/app into the extracted magisk mod, in system/priv-app/GCAM

7. Zip up the updated magisk mod, or modify the props to document changes, then zip

8. Uninstall GCAM

9. Flash new magisk mod

10 reboot

Now you will have the magisk mod, with the new gcam of your choosing.

Now YOU, the consumer, can test all the iterations of gcam out there.

The real trick is to develop an app to automate as much of this as possible.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
I can do it in 3 minutes on the toilet on the phone. Many an update has cone via the work sh****er
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
OP, 2nd, and 3rd post updated
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] kenburger:
been using v13 and im really lovin the gcam over the stock cam app for sure. idk if other people get this but if i turn on minimal hdr+ smoothing, hdr+ auto photos start overexposing out the ass. choosing hdr+ enhanced makes it fine. not sure why but when smoothing is off hdr auto is all good. any1 know why this happens?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] gk1984:
If we ever meet, remind me not to touch your phone lol
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
It's just the way it is, lower light its fine, brighter just over exposes everything.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] avd:
Thanks. Make sure you wash your hands.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Lol, for you bruh, anytime :highfive:
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] avd:
No mirrors found for v13e.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] avd:
Try this..

[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
How in the world are there 26 downloads and no mirrors. I hate AFH......
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Lol, I have UV sterilization at work, gamma, ETO, sterrad, steam on demand at the lab we do testing with.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] elrosid:
Yeah, me too. No mirrors found :D
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Try 13f
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] elrosid:
That was for 13F. Tried the 13E but still, no mirrors found.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
I have no idea, which ones you want me to host on my GDRIVE
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] elrosid:
The 13F please :)
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
OP links are fixed, although not my fault for once :cyclops:
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] actupsp:
on the 13F, rear portrait mode no works with object, but works well with visage
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
[MENTION=918474]actupsp[/MENTION] my bronado..... Read above
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Glitch in the matrix, servers are back up on AFH
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsita:
Love the 13E version. Much faster and more neat than 13.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
Man, making me want to try this version now. I'm on v13. Is it that much better? What are the main benefits that you see?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] avd:
I'm on 13e and the photos without flash are the best so far.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
I have been using 13F, video stabilization works.

13 = most tuneables

13E = best color ( [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] did a great job of tuning the IMX258)

13F = Video stabilization works (or at least it's disabled on 1080p60 and works everyplace else)

To each their own. Also, it was pointed out to me that front 1080p60 video recording adds a slo-mo effect. Not sure why, I checked the media_profile and I do have it on cameraid2 but removing doesn't seem to phase it. Might ask one of the non root gcam users to try it.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
I tried E which is very clean and simple on the interface. I chose F because I felt it gave me more options and had Google Lens! Video stabilizing also works.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
They both have lens
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] gk1984:
As a video guy, that sounds like it's trying play back at 30fps instead of 60fps. I wonder if it's not recording the right metadata to play at the right frame rate. Free program MediaInfo can read the metadata and see if it's reporting 60fps or something else.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
It does actually have the slo-mo bars, it can be adjusted
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
OP, 2nd, and 3rd post update, using [MENTION=1154610]urik[/MENTION]ill mod. He removed slo-mo, replaced it with lens blur, so now we have lens blur and portrait. Added some manual stuff as well.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] avd:
13e doesnt have motion, or I missed the setting somewhere
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Can't turn it on in Dev settings bc it's disabled by default.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Use 13g and tell me what you think. 13E is [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] gcam that's setup as one stop shopping. It's great because it just works as intended out of the install.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] avd:
I've got it installed. The test is tomorrow when the kids have soccer.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Updated OP, 2nd, and 3rd Post for v14 (new AR stickers) the dev preview ARcore doesnt work very well (The stickers follow the camera and dont "stick")

Anyways, i want to clean up the OP some, its getting really packed. What are the best versions? Im going to post a poll to get a bearing on this, and clean house.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] arpitp:
I'd love to contribute, but I haven't updated since v10, largely due to lack of time, and now due to the dizzying array of options available. I also haven't had a chance to go out and test the camera anywhere worth testing.

Though I am curious which ones work best, so I can finally pick one and move on.

Thanks for all your hard work aer0zer0!
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Oh wow... V14 would be a good one for you, does everything, not alot of messing around
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
I'm liking 13F
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Then try 14
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
Yep just installed, good stuff
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] avd:
I thought 13G was just a little oversaturated with everything set to auto. 13E had best auto photos, I'll try 14 next.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Got a new poll up with the web version. I'm upping a 14a with [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] 3.3
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
OP, 2nd, 3rd post updated with 14A
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] SHYZZA:
I see the op says no nougat but wondering if anyone ported this to nougat. Or could refer a cam mod like this if not. I'm rooted with magisk. Thanls
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
I've been on the oreo betas since they dropped. You could port it yourself. Just need to change some things in the zips.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
Seems to me that v14 is a bit slower to focus and the screen update to take a picture is slow.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] sirdicholas:
Updated to 8.1. Will this work on that?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Boal:
Works for me, yes
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
I just got the notification to update! Cool. How did you do the update? Last time I tried I totally failed and had to do a flash all.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] 2CanSan:
Sorry to break into thread but just wanted to ask a quick question. Am currently using v7 on Axon 7 Oreo 8.1 is there a better version I could be using?

Thanks for your reply
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Seems to.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Dunno, try them out. V13G has a lot of features. Try that
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
On going to 8.1 I had to upgrade to magisk 15.4. I'm having problems trying to install v13F now... [emoji848]. Any thoughts?

I'm trying to get a picture of the installation failure... But can't post for some reason.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
Same here, this is what I get...
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
Yep I get this too... Tried with another version just in case it was the download. Didn't work either.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
Same, lol
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
So, I've uninstalled magisk and no longer am rooted. I am using Arnova's v6_beta15v sideloaded with some pretty good success. I think the key is to enable modify system settings in app info and I'm not losing audio like before. I am losing slo-mo, AR stickers, and Google Lensb functionality though... [emoji852]️. But to not have to mess every time there is an OTA is a plus.

We'll see how long this lasts.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Boal:
Unroot, then update, then root again
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] radaloel:
https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/7xp0mr/google_cam_with_no_problems_on_81_no_root/

Seems like no longer problems... Didn't try it though

[MENTION=5447216]aer0zer0[/MENTION] Here's a Magisk log of the failed Gcam module flash on OB8.1:

https://pastebin.com/jan88qkb
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Odd, it worked before..... What magisk version?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Not sure, I'm using the kantjer repo magisk.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
I know what's up, I'll have it fixed in a short order
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Also, this......
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
Not sure why this would be any different than the official magisk?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Because I can flash them
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
Yeah, but weird right? Did you find out why?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Do me a favor...

1. Unzip the gcam module somewhere

2. Open the config.sh (notepad++)

3. Scroll to line 101

4. Are there 2 } of those, 101 and 102?

5. If so, delete the one in line 102

6. Save, and rezip the module

7. Flash in magisk,

kantjer version doesn't give a rip for some reason

Thanks and end of my workday, I'll have v15s of the favorites with that fixed.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
I'm no longer rooted... Maybe [MENTION=2850740]12paq[/MENTION] can give it a try. If not I may give it a try tonight (currently at work that blocks downloads from AFH). I'm getting good functionality without root on 8.1b1. No AR stickers or slow-mo but that is a fine compromise for me.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] underoath586:
I did as you suggested and 14a flashed in magisk with no problem when it previously was not working. Thank you!
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Fixes incoming, get ya some root.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
I'm honestly debating if those functionalities are worth the root. I do like Google Lens at the moment so that would be the reason I'd root. Otherwise it is nice to be able to use the app without root and just apply the OTA as it comes.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
By gosh folks, what shenanigans a } makes..... So i guess i have had that extra in there in line 102 for quite a while. But none of the other Magisks have really cared before. Now it does. Imagine that.

Anyways OP, 2nd, 3rd posts have been updated with the most popular 3 GCAMS, with the fix in config.sh. Dont worry, all of the older GCAMS can still be found in my AFH for now, but the fixing will be placed on YOU, if you want to run one of those versions......

Arnova is making a v6 Final one of these days, that'll be new when it drops, Cstark has a 3.4 that ill get to later. And life will carry on.

Have fun :)
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
yea, i see the point. But at the same time, all you nee to do is uninstall magisk, flash boot.img, take ota. then set the rest back up. Thats the whole point of this systemless thing.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
You are making too much sense. Have you tried to do the restore images in magisk which should restore boot.img, then take OTA?

I'm assuming you reflash boot image via adb? I was loading TWRP to install the OTA and the boot. Maybe my process was too cumbersome and there is a better way.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
EZ, just uninstall the magisk mods, uninstall magisk, then flash stock boot.img in fastboot and reboot n go

I mean, i could have just made a twrp zip, but twrp is more permanant than magisk, and harder to get going again (just ask all those xposed folks that do it through twrp.) when stuff breaks down
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
Thanks for the speedy update!
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] runderekrun:
I didn't even uninstall magisk or flash the stock boot.img when I took 8.1 and it installed fine. I did end up paying for it when I tried to re install magisk and xposed for 8.0 kept me from booting but yeah.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] 12paq:
Me too. For fun I did a dirty OB8.1 OTA to see what would break or not. I was on OB3 rooted with modules and with Rey 4 Kernel. The OTA installed fine, but hung on the Essential boot animation. Funny thing, as it was boot looping it stopped on it's own and went into a temp recovery that only had two options, "try again" and "factory reset". This had no ADB or Fastboot support. (But fastboot worked on bootloader as normal.) "Try again" did the same, but "factory reset" (really a -w full wipe) allowed it to boot.

Logs said it hung on the custom kernel or boot binary mismatch. No surprise there.

I would stick with [MENTION=5447216]aer0zer0[/MENTION]'s advice and clean up your build before the flashing the next OTA. It's easy enough and just minimizes potential issues.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] 12paq:
v15 flashes fine on OB8.1, thanks.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Yay u gave me the fix...thank yourself
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
OP, 2nd, 3rd posts updated
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] contagous:
Sooo many versions now lol :)

Does 15D have Slo Mo as well as portrait and blur? or is blur instead of Slo Mo?

Which are you using right now?

I was on 14A before 8.1 which had everything it needed,

Which do you think i should use?

Thanks
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
Just tried 15b. Everything seems to work fine except portrait mode freezes the app. I've tried many settings to see if there's a way around it with no avail. Gonna try the other versions now. Will report back...
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
15D works, 15B should be no different here. Did you set the all your options, fully kill the program, then reopen?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
yea, it has all things enabled. no idea, everyone is a picture critic. Thats why i provide options
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
Yes, Everytime I set new settings, I killed then reopened. On 15D now, portrait works. Not very strong with the blur, but it's not freezing the app. Gonna try another
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Bsg 2e gonna have the most options, A and D are set and forget
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
I'm checking 15b out now
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] contagous:
I installed the 15D but when I use 60 fps on camera, it has so much zoom it's useless. Is this a bug?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Yup, turn video stabilization off.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
15B works perfect. You set both things?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
My settings aren't exactly the same, I'll try these and report back
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Only things that matter are model and hdr profile
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
I set it all to your exact settings and that broke the auto mode too as well as the portrait mode not working. Not sure why, I'm on Oreo 8.1beta with magisk 15.4
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
If I set config to auto, I get auto mode back. But still no portrait. Thanks btw for looking into this, your hard work is very appreciated
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Makes 0 sense.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Do you have a magisk log?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
Here you go...
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
It's perfect
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
It's cool, thanks anyway. Ill just go with a different version for now. No big deal. ?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
Ok so I went in and cleared data and everything works as long as I don't touch the config in settings. As soon as I change it to anything but auto, portrait breaks. Even if I change it back, until data is cleared. Weird...

Edit: just to try to narrow it down, I touched to open config settings and didn't change it to anything just went back and it broke portrait. Cleared data, reset everything else to the way I like and all is working perfectly. Sorry about this mess, I'm willing to bet I got a bad download or a bad substratum theme or something. Gonna try to redownload later. If not, at least it's working now the way I have it! ?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] 12paq:
[MENTION=4710806]stryver[/MENTION] Just to make sure, are you completely uninstalling your current Magisk camera version from the Magisk app before installing a new one?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] runderekrun:
I hate to do this but I am heading to Disney tomorrow and am just wondering what people think is the best camera? I am currently using the former 13E and it is producing amazing photos. I think that is equal to 15A now? Usually I would have time to mess around with different version but as I fly out tomorrow I just wanted to quickly ask if I am making the wrong choice keeping 13E/15A.

Thank you.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] 12paq:
A non answer, answer: Stick with what works reliably for you and have a nice trip!
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Yes, they are the same
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
Yes, Everytime. Although I'm sure it must be something on my end, I'm still not sure what's doing it.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
OP, 2nd, and 3rd post updated. Dragons ate all the old stuff in my AFH.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] maverickmarc:
Considering the pixel 2 is running it, why not?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
This will work on Zenfone 3 Zoom? Running Android 7.1.1
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] mobileman88:
No. This is modified to work with the ph1
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
what is Ph1? Sorry.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Essential phone Ronjie. This magisk zip is catered to essential phone. I don't do nougat. Does your device specific thread have anything?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] gk1984:
Essential (brand) PH-1 (model). It's a smartphone. Essential was started by Andy Rubin, father of Android.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] mobileman88:
That's the phone which you're replying to this thread. You might want to find the right GCAM for your phone. This one is for the PH1
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
But this GCAM is pretty good for my Phone execpt for the AR Stickers its forcing to close the app. Is there any possible way that I can enable AR Stickers?

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Hello Sir. Tried your mod for GCam it seems compatible to my phone except for the AR Stickers. Nice work sir! Keep it up.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Ok, take the zip you like.

On your computer, open the zip

Look in system/priv-app and delete the 2 folders labeled arstickers and arcore. That will remove that from the GCAM (since it on the work anyways on nougat)

Slo-mo still won't work.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
Sir, so its not possible to have my phone AR Stickers?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
not unless you get on oreo. those nougat hax dont seem to work, for the essential phone, htc 10, or anything else people have got going. Check the op3t gcam threads, maybe someone has had success. Im on oreo, so everything works as intended here.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850492823

try that, thats for htc 10 with nougat, no AR stickers, but slo-mo should work for you. If you dont like the camera, swap out the gcam between the zips
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
thanks sir. Kudos ?

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Slomo still not working but its okay. Thank you
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Did you uninstall the previous magisk and install the one for hc 10
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
Yes, uninstalled using Magisk>Reboot>InstalledHTC10>Reboot. But its okay.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Uninstall the gcam module.

Tell me where your media_profiles.xml is located

In either system/etc or vendor/etc

It's very important to know if it's in both places. I will need to cook something up in that case.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
system/etc only sir.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
Are you in magisk 15.3 or 15.4?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Kantjer 15.4
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] Genghis1227:
Alright, going to root tonight to install v15e. Thanks man... Probably going to stick with 15.3
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Cool
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] shaq1612:
Anyone else having the issue with portrait mode always taking smart bursts? I can't seem to get it to work and I've tried a few versions so far
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Huh? It's what it's supposed to do when it works
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] stryver:
FWIW I figured out what caused the issues I was having a while back. Assuming you remember the details, I later(much later) tried toying with the default camera and noticed tons of bugs happening while operating. I cleared the data of the default camera and not only fixed it's problem, but I'm now also discovering gcam has also rid itself of bugs only after the fact. Something must've boinked the gcam from the essential cam's cache or data. ??
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
sir [MENTION=5447216]aer0zer0[/MENTION]
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
The htc 10 version should have just worked.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsme.Ronjie:
Sir i tried your PH1 CSTARK27 V3.5 on my Zenfone 3 520KL running Android 8.0.0. Everything perfectly works except for the Slowmotion feature. AR Sticker, Panorama, Photosphere, Lens Blur and Portrait is working well, no crashes. Thank you sir. Gonna try this on my Zenfone 3 Zoom when the Oreo update arrives.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] 2CanSan:
Would someone please be kind enough to post a link to older versions if possible or have they been destroyed? I need version 7. Thanks so much
