This is a thread to report bugs in [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] google camera port. I'm creating this thread to personally report a bug, anyone else who uses the app and has an issue should feel free to post here as well.

App in question: drive. google.com/open?id=1IEf-BZQdk_SH3WVG3aev05pdiRpVqW68 (I am not allowed to post links yet, apologies.)

When reporting a bug:

Describe the issue

Include a logcat

Mention [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

The main issue I am experiencing is the inability to take burst photos when holding down the shoot button. This feature functions properly in cstark's version. OIS also seems to not be functioning correctly, the viewfinder is shaky unlike stock camera app.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] kekley:
I found a VERY strange solution to this. It turns out switching to the video mode, and back to the photo mode makes OIS work properly. It's worth noting I have added these lines in the build.prop to enable EIS in video, so even though I don't think they're necessary for OIS, if this method doesn't work for you then they're worth a shot:

persist.camera.eis.enable=1

persist.camera.is_type=5

persist.camera.is_mode=5

I don't think the 2nd and 3rd one do anything but they're worth mentioning I suppose.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] captaincrook:
Full stock here, no root, and I find the same issue with OIS. Though sometimes OIS goes wonky in the default camera app when you cycle zoom modes, at least on my phone. It's the main reason I don't use the app full time. I'm a shaky individual.

Not sure how well the Z3Z can get supported with the camera mod, but I'd be willing to test out if it ever came to. The quality is phenomenal to say the least compared to the PixelMaster Camera app. I've tried a bunch of different versions of the app but always come back to Arnova's.

EDIT: Tried cstark's version and the switch trick does work. And the faster initial processing makes this a keeper for now. All that's really missing is the OIS and I'd be a super happy camper.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] captaincrook:
Arnova's no longer works for me so I've been using cstark's version.

I wonder if we can get OIS and perhaps some autofocus fixes. I find it can be blurry when it auto focuses, but super sharp on a tap.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] kekley:
I ended up switching to cstark's as well. At this point all that's really needed is for the laser autofocus and the rgb sensor to work properly. I remember seeing cstark replying to a zenfone 3 user that he would look into laser autofocus, but I think the rgb sensor might be a lost cause for any camera that isn't stock.

By the way, the 2nd zoom camera doesn't have OIS, so if the stock camera switches to it, (past 2.3x zoom in a well lit environment) things get a lot more shaky.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] captaincrook:
I still find the Google Camera Mod takes better digital zoom point and click photos than the standard Pixel Master camera and the telephoto lens. ?

What else can we do to get some better device support? I would use the camera full time if the stabilization and focus were fixed. It's near perfect.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZueiraBR:
Could someone pass me the mod camera link from cstark to ZenFone 3 Zoom, please ?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] kekley:
Here you go.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZueiraBR:
Thank you
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] stonebobII:
Edit: NM...

I get great results with stock camera but cstark27 GCam Mod seem to work fine using pixel XL setting. I use cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.7test.apk + AR stickers from the Xiaomi Mi A1 forum (ar.core_0.91.171127093-V1.1.apk) + AR Stickers 1.2
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] hkmrz:
Do you know guys why Arnova's v8.2 doesn't work with z3z ?

I'm still trying with Arnova's since I found the best result with Arnova's v6. However I want to keep being updated but yeah... am stuck in the v6.

Is there any information about requirements for each version, so I don't need to try those versions brutally one by one?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] captaincrook:
No clue. Maybe someone can pull a logcat.

I moved again to BSGs/Toylan but I think those are having issues too on newer versions.

If someone was close or had contact with the Devs I'm sure it would end up being great. The sensor in the camera is the same as a Pixel 2 if I recall correctly.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antretng:
Hello. I am thinking of buying the zenfone 3 zoom. Does the ois still have problem with gcam. Are you talking for photos or video?

Furthermore, are there any low light comparison shots of stock vs gcam?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] captaincrook:
Things would work much better if there was full Camera2API. ASUS seems to have locked it to limited and the OIS is not exposed to the OS.

Otherwise CStark 4.2t3 has served me well. Enhanced HDR is stunning . Only missing some form of stabilization, but the video trick works.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antretng:
So if I am getting it right, the OIS does not work while shooting pictures? This is really weird since the ois is not controlled by the camera app. Are you sure that it is not just a viewfinder bug? Did you try shooting without switching to video and got blurry images (i.e. camera shake) ?

Is there any way to full implement api2 by editing build.prop?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antretng:
I am playing with my asus zenfone for a week. What I find is that the OIS is not a problem for gcam. The real problem is that it has difficulty in auto focusing especially in low light. The circle of focus does not remain steady unless you tap to focus.

Here a comparison of stock camera (custom settings regarding sharpening, contrast etc) vs gcam. First stock

Thanks for the comparison pics, [MENTION=7845725]Antretng[/MENTION]. Definitely google is warmer than stock. By chance do you have any comparisons done during the day as well as inside ones?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antretng:
Yeap. Here you are. First stock then gcam. In stock camera I have changed some settings (saturation, sharpening, contrast, noise reduction) since the default ones are really bad. The daylight photos of stock camera are Auto mode. The low light are with Manual mode but with all settings at auto (it has more natural results than auto). If you wish you can move the modes at stock and even change the default first mode.

You may not notice. I reply message to you.

Also take a look at this.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] kekley:
Would you mind sharing your custom settings for the stock camera? The default settings are very questionable. Thank you.

If this is referring to the OIS, I can confirm that it still requires switching to the video mode and back to enable on both apks there. I can provide logs if that would help.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] fu24:
I mean switching to the auxiliary rear lens.

5.2. As for OIS, there may be work for zf5z 9.0. ( Someone people have reported to work )

Have you tried 5.1?

I still don't know how to use the log to find out the error.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antretng:
For me the real problem is the focus issues. The circle of auto focus seems that it cannot lock (it always blinks in and out). In daylight it is not a problem, but in low light you may end up with out of focus pictures. Obviously, the "tap to focus" may help but there are certain situations that you should avoid tapping (e.g. shooting lights, the sky, dark theme etc). This problem exists in most 3rd party camera apps. For instance, in "open camera", with the default settings it has the same problem. However, if I change the focus from the default C to A then it locks.

Regarding your question, no. The auxilary lens does not switch. The app shows a message that the device does not support it.

Here you are. I shoot Auto mode in daylight (better hdr) and Manual mode in low light with ev -0.6 and the rest auto (it has more natural results than auto)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] kekley:
Thank you, those settings are much nicer than default, though personally I dislike all of asus's hdr implementations so I will be disabling it.

Strangely enough, I have found that the HEVC+SM enabling magisk module for the OP3 makes arnova's v8 mods not crash on the device. You just need to change support level override in the camera2 api settings of the camera to "zsl reprocessing" and restart the app to fix the black viewfinder.

The biggest problem I have found with all gcam mods on this device is how horribly overexposed zsl pictures are(hdr+ enhanced is fine). I wish there were a workaround for this but I believe the problem lies in asus's camera libs and the only person I know of who is experienced in modding these files is [MENTION=377973]defcomg[/MENTION] but I doubt our device is of very high priority.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antretng:
This is also true for the stock camera. It overexposes so in my settings I set ev -0.6. Some gcam have settings regarding exposure compensation. You can set -0.6 and probably you wil be fine. Personally I leave it as it is becaus I prefer hdr+ enhanced when shooting with gcam.

Generally, gcam has some problems on our device like the focus issues in low light and the really slow shooting of hdr+ enhanced which result to higher motion blur. So it is true that it needs some development but I am afraid that there is no gcam dev with our device.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] kekley:
I have tried gcam mods with exposure settings but unfortunately the zsl mode is unaffected with all of them, at least on our device.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Themes, Apps, and Mods] captaincrook:
Arnova's latest 6.1 release works wonderful now if you're on Oreo. No more slow burst HDR shots! I'll try to find other bugs if I can, and share the config file if I find everything is smooth on my usage case.

It's been a couple months now - anyone suggest what the best Google Camera build is now? :)

Having some focus issues with the stock camera app so looking for a good alternative.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] BDogg718:
OTA app is not built into this first release. We finally got all the bugs ironed out. So, next release will have OTA built in and every build from there on.

WOW!!!! I've been waiting for this. Downloading now

Thanks

Thank you so much! Runs so well!! Only question is I see that there are battery styles in the features list but I can't find any... Can you confirm if there are battery style options?

Is it possible to change the stock icons to the pixel (round) icons?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KittyRgnarok:
Flashing this soon
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] JCBiznatch:
Yes, just download pixel launcher mods. Then, download your icon choice.

Open pixel mods, apply icon pack.

:good:Viola!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GuestK00254:
I meant change the icons throughout the entire rom, not just the launcher. I guess I could do this in the meantime though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] JCBiznatch:
I think you'd need to change that in the design process.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GuestK00254:
Xposed works nicely with this rom
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] BDogg718:

For some reason settings is crashing when I try to set a passcode. Anyone else? Will reinstall if not.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GuestK00254:
It works for me
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jesse402:
I had passcode issues on first install. I came from another Feb Oreo custom rom so just factory/cache wiped, but no matter how many times I rewiped and reflashed, on setup the phone would think I had a passcode set already and wouldn't let me progress through any Security settings. Did a clean flash of the stock rom this morning and wiped/flashed this rom and lock screen settings seem to be working fine now. Like on another Oreo rom, I sometimes have wake delays/complete wake failures, and I know it's got something to do with having a lockscreen set and also Smart Lock behaved strangely once so perhaps to do with that too. Still figuring it out.

OTHERWISE, though, this is the first Oreo rom for Pixel that the Tetris app has worked on for me, so 10/10, daily driver. :good:

[MENTION=3943728]BDogg718[/MENTION] Hot restart doesn't work. SystemUI FC's. Its the same on RR Pixel XL. Haven't updated my pixel xl to newest RR yet. I'll post in pixel xl forum if i see it again.

Is it a known lineage issue? Or maybe a side effect of magisk?

Very nice rom. How often will the update comes out?

Is the kernel on this overclock friendly or not, i'm looking to boost the pixel to get full speed potential of the 821.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Poebat:
To get the full potential you'll need a better cooling system. My pixel thermal throttles at stock speeds
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] luigigigi:
Yes mine too does, but i will set profiles with high perf just for light task such as for opening the dialer, and set it to stock clock or underclocked a bit for games, because i'm not a heavy gamer if not at all, i wanna have the experience of app opening of a oneplus 5 or xz premium.

Updates?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheArkive:
[MENTION=3943728]BDogg718[/MENTION], is it known that a hot restart causes SystemUI to force close? It isn't fatal, but that function certainly doesn't work.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hltdev:
Thank you for an excellent rom!

I think for me the SystemUI crashing was fixed by going to:

settings > apps with usage access > "show system"

Then scroll down to SystemUI and check off Permit usage access.

So far I did that and it hasn't crashed

Is this rom work in sony Xperia z1 ????

Having trouble flashing this rom/zip. Followed the steps outlined and when I go to reboot TWRP tells me I have no OS installed on either slot a or slot b. What's going on?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
That's normal, just ignore the 'no os installed' message.

Sounds great, are you still having no mic nor audio issues? With others the issues came back.

Thx
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeTex:
The issue likely will come back since it's a hardware issue not software
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeTex:
Make sure you get a OEM unlocked one!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
They told me that they can't do this. I'll get whatever original parts they usually get. Let's see. I hope I can still use my H2O sim card :-/ I'll probably have to unlock the bootloader again. But thanks for your help!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeTex:
That's BS. I specifically told them I have a google Unlocked and not a Verizon, they then got me the right board.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
Only problem, I think I have a Verizon one. I'm not totally sure about it because I bought it refurbished. And he also couldn't find out for sure. But he told me that only the right motherboard fits in the associated phone. Hnn :/
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeTex:
Verizon ones cannot unlock bootloader.... lol
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
They can. It's just not as easy.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeTex:
didn't the exploit get patched?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
I hope not. It still worked 3 weeks ago. ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Poebat:
I'm pretty sure they're identical inside.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
That's what I was thinking and saying. But the guy at ubreakifix was certain about it that it has to be the same board as it was before. Maybe I should have just said that I think it was an Google one. We'll see.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Poebat:
That sucks. At least there's a bypass to unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
That's right. I hope the bypass is still open.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeTex:
they are identical inside
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Versatil2010:
Am I missing something before or on flashing process? I just picked up this pixel (Verizon unit) for sure as it was a little complicated to unlock the bootloader. I went ahead and rooted with magisk and installed twrp (latest).

I followed the steps to install this ROM and the zip failed for some odd reason. And when I tried rebooting to twrp it was no longer there I was brought to a Lineage OS type of recovery there was no OS installed obviously. ?

I'm on the latest stock again, had to sideload an otg zip to get out of that hell of a mess. Any help to successfully flash this ROM?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
Silly question but:

Did you re-flash TWRP after flashing the ROM? And rebooted into recovery afterwards?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Versatil2010:
ROM fails right away, I've only been away from customer ROM and rooting maybe a year. But it seems like there's one or two extra steps I'm the flashing process for this device. How long has it been since it was unlockable and rooted?

I'm thinking maybe a corrupted zip, my problem is I don't have an otg cable so if I wipe all necessary and file fails again I'll be stuck with no os.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
Probably. One of the extra step is that you have to flash TWRP everytime right after you flash a ROM. And the other one is that you have to reboot into recovery mode right after this, flash and mount the ventor.img. because of the A and B slot. Everything described in the install info on page 1.

Did you do this?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Versatil2010:
That's where I'm a little confused, my last rooted phone was a Motorola G3 and flashing ROMs was straight forward.

Update: So i found the problem, it being that i had a pin on my lockscreen not alowing to decrypt the zip or something, worked like a charm once i removed it, also got the hang of the process...thanks for the help.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Versatil2010:
anyone here here with experience flashing this particular rom? i get to boot in but when setup gets to the fingerprint section it ask me for a password which i havent set up, and it doesnt matter if i hit skip it doesnt let me get through because of it. Every pass i try is wrong. Also does everything has to be flashed to one single slot A/B? that has me confused, every time i do all this either i have to reflash twrp or something else happens.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KittyRgnarok:
If you actually look through the thread you will see this has been asked and answered at least ten separate times. There is a file called locksettings.db that needs to be deleted. Idr the location but look through the thread and you'll find it. Also don't worry about what's flashed on what slot until you are in a working environment, if you just follow the instructions to a t, you will be fine
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Versatil2010:
Having trouble waking up the phone after the screen is off for a while, any advice? It was a clean flash and only a few days. Finger scan won't wake it up although you can feel the vibration and the power bottom won't wake it up quick either.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Disable pocket detection
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Versatil2010:
Giving it a try now. Also I notice battery is draining pretty fast.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KittyRgnarok:
Let the ROM run its natural course for a few days the battery issue will resolve itself. Let your device naturally hit 0% battery and charge back up only to ~80%. Doing this over the course of a day or two should resolve it
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Versatil2010:
Did all that, I was already running the ROM over a week.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KittyRgnarok:
Continue to do so. There isn't much you can do to expedite the process and it will happen anytime u flash anything including stock ROM. Its just battery calibration stuff
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Versatil2010:
Thanks but I moved on to try the release of pie for a while, big difference on battery beside that adaptive battery deal lol
