[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sly_North:
Thx for confirming. The size and version was so similar to my 7.1 that I was wondering if it was really for the plus. Now it's super-clear.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShapeCharger99:
I have received the OTA update yesterday and installed latest Parrot release afterwards. Disabled app notifications.

It was the usual stuff after a couple of shots it was starting to throw the usual boring all green pics.

However i did one more restart today and now it appears to be working... Fingers crossed
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] shasan731:
After installing any of the gcam app (trcam, parrot, pixelcam) reboot the phone once. Then start using. I have been using trcam and parrot v7 for the last two days. Both installed at once. HDR+ enhanced on. No problem. No crash.

Also, in the app settings I turned on Allow modifying system settings.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sly_North:
I'm sorry but this is not prooving anything: 2 days is not a lot of time. And the O/S would ask you to enable the "allow modifiying system setting" permission if the application was trying to use it.

All the GCam apps will start either taking green pictures or not saving pictures if one is taking too many pictures too fast. Because this is not a bug in the app, but rather in the OS's camera stack. Installing one or the other version of GCam won't change that.

The only way to make it work is 1) take ANY version that works fine at first, and 2) don't take too may pictures too fast. Then it's rather fine.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
I did the last update of the Nokia 7plus, I tested with the latest cstark and the parrot I tested with hdr + in normal and therefore not improve, but still bug! it's really a shame that there is no solution to this problem given the disgusting quality of the stock camera application. with a custom rom so after root etc, the problem is still present?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Liftedcorn:
No.

If you have unlocked bootloader, you can also simply flash modified vendor image available for our Nokia 7 plus, and google camera works.

The only downside, you MAYBE stuck on December security patch and OTA updates will fail to install.

And talking from my experience, you'll also have problems in manually updating the security patches and MR's.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
For those who have problems with gcam mods (HDR+ Processing or green photos or slow motion crash and so on) Celso Azevedo have solutions in his site for fixing this kind of problems.

The green picture for example has to do with the camera model basis you choose in gcam options.

But the best is that you give a reading in FAQ and troubleshooting in Celso Azevedo site.

At the moment I'm experiencing the killercam Revolution from Raznoptid. The pictures are great, but I'm still trying to find a way to get a fluid slow motion image like stock camera do...
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
OK thank you, and do you have any parameters advised me with this application?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
Just use the nokia 7 plus configs and then make some adjustment at your taste.

As I said I'm still trying this mod..
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Giier:
It's not working for me.

I mean that I've tried many Gcam mods and I haven't found one that is working properly yet.

N7+ config doesn't solve the problem of green pictures or crashes. Obviously, it helps setting up the app with parameters that are supported on N7+, and some adjustments that help with colors and so on. But as I said, it doesn't turn Gcam mod into a stable app.

This problem is related to Android 10, IMHO.

With Android 9 all related cams worked perfectly and you were free to choose the one that you prefer, no matter if you had N7+ config or not. If a mod was not good for N7+, it crashed right after intallation, if it was good for our phone, it worked no matter the permission you gave, or notification and so on.

Now, I'm using Tigr mod and Tolian (Tinneun) latest version. I can take good pictures but from time to time I must restart the system and from time to time I must uninstalla and clean install from scratch. Someone said that I shouldn't use them at the mean time, but as they crash even if installed alone, I guess that this is not the problem.

I think, from nwhat I noticed, that crashes come after taking a series of oictures, or after switching between modes, or even after opening the native nokia camera app, or after taking hdr+ enhanced pic and so on. Basically, you must be very very patient.

Another strange thing is that sometimes front camera crashes but you are able to take panoramic picture, some other times you can switch to selfie and still take pictures.

I read Celsoacevedo advices, but maybe I'm unlucky... no matter what I tried, I still have green pics and crashes.

I've really tried many mods, Parrot is one of the latest I used. I uninstalled it just because Tolyan goives dofferent colors, and I can choose between pics taken with Tolyan mod and Tigr mod. Sometimes one is much better that the otger, and vice versa.

In fact, if you follow the links to N7+ on celsoacevedo, they take you back to these xda pages.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sly_North:
No, that's a completely different issue: these fixes are for permanent problems, where the GCam always produce these errors. The issue we have on Nokia 7* is that it's working fine at first, then after a while the camera stack of the O/S (probably the camera driver) starts failing.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
I don't know what mode you use and how intensely you use the camera for getting that behaviour... But all mods I tried (that have DSP or anti lag disabled option, after clear storage/cache and reboot) I get a "stable" camera for photos. For example I used already with android 10: Parrot, tigr, onfire, killercam, pixelcam, pxcam... And some more with not kind of problems...

It's important too to choose the right basis camera model if crash or green pictures and after change the model needs a reboot.

I'm still trying mods and mods because I want use only gcam camera and I still haven't found one that gives me good pictures with good slow motion video...
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] rowny:
I've practically given up. As a last resort, I deleted the DCIM folder. Maybe it is easier for the app to start fresh? Works for 1 day now, but it is too early to report...
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Max-ML:
I'm sure we have tried every mod now with no chance for miracle.

Only solution is to reboot. And that "solution" works only for a while - till next stuck.

Sometimes it works about week or so and I've managed to get over 50 photos, but stops after.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sly_North:
An interesting poll would be: do you have the issue that GCam stops working after a while, and how much memory does your Nokia 7* has? 3gb/4gb/6gb (the 7.1 goes down to 3gb; I think the 7+ starts at 4).

I'm wondering if the issue comes from not having enough memory after a while/when taking too many pictures.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Giier:
My N7+ has 4Gb. It could be a factor, but I don't believe it's the only one.

Let's consider that:

1-before Android 10, GCam mods worked very well on this phone. If they crashed, they crashed right after installation. If they worked, they worked fine, not counting some features that couldn't be used on N7+.

2-sometimes, Gcam mod (no matter which one among all of them) crashes at the very first pic f the day, and ram is not in use at all.

3-sometimes it crashes even if hdr+ or other features that require a large ram, are NOT in use.

4-sometimes, you can even use hdr+ enhanced, or taking a lot of pics, or a video, without any problem

5-sometimes it crashes right after you open the stock camera app, even if you don't even take a picture

I'm quite sure that there is a pattern, something that leads to a crash, somehow, somewhere, but probably it's related to something inside the A10 software.

For example, the latest Tigr mod has some features that allow to select the focus, the iso and so on. Just like the stock camera do in PRO mode.

If you use those sliders, nothing changes at all. But it doesn't crash. That means that there is no corrispondence between the command you can give and the result you get. In other words, Gcam doesn't work properly.

The fault is in something inside A10 version we have on N7+.

Last thought. You can find some config files that are for N7+, but one thing is the config file, another thing is a MOD created for N7+. And the ugly truth is that there is no gcam mod for N7+.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
I use also a 4gb ram nokia 7 plus and I don't have the crashes you have... It's strange...

Today I tried another mod the new pixelcam plus. My procedure is: First I always uninstall the last gcam in use then install the new. Before opening I clean storage/cache from the app and disable notification just for my commodity then open the app. This version as already the anti lag (DSP) disabled. So I could start shooting without making more adjustment.

What I want make clear it's that exist mods that don't crash while taking pictures... At least in my 4gb nokia 7 plus phone.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sly_North:
It's probably because you're not trying to make it fail. If I take 20 or 30 shots very quickly (hammering the shutter button), I can make any GCam fail. If I've a normal / slow use, all is fine.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Liftedcorn:
But why would someone take 20 to 30 shots in 5 seconds ?

There's a better feature provided in the stock cam for that .. burst Mode ?

If someone wants to take 30 shots in 5 seconds, he/she should use burst mode. That makes more sense, right ?

Gcam is for nice, relaxed photography.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Giier:
I don't need to take 20 shots in a second to see GCam crash.

Sometimes, it is already impossible to take a pic at the very beginning of the day, for example. Smartphone has just been restarted , I ant to take a pic of sunrise and.. nothing happens. So, I restart it once again .

Some other times, I can take pictures for days without any problem. As I wrote a few weeks ago, I thought that a solution could have been to allow system modification , and it seemed to work. But then, I got the crashes anyway.

The strange thing is not that I have problems with GCam, but that one, maximum two users don't have problems.

Another option could be related to other softwares installed on N7+ that need access to the camera. Maybe a message app, like viber, for example (I said viber as an example, I'k not saying that I believe that viber causes crashes in Gcam). And even if you don't take any picture with that app, and maybe you even forget you opened it a few hours earlier, something changed in the system and GCam crashes. I don't know, I'm not a technician, otherwise I'd give solution, not questions.

But I'm 100% sure that I used to take pictures with GCam mods with android 9, just like I do with Android 10 now. And now I have crashes, earlier I didn't.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
Ok, now I understand your point of view.

Anyone has his own needs.

But for me instead of 30 quickly shots, I think would be more interesting to work on a fluid slow motion like stock camera can do but with the peculiar feature of slowing down the part you want. That is a lack of Nokia camera app.

Also would be great to bring together with video the OZO sound.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sly_North:
It's not a need, but a test. It's an easy way to reproduce the issue. Otherwise it can (will?) happen randomly at some point. The GCam is usable, but might still require a reboot from time to time.

Exactly. All can be fine for a few days. Then randomly, the camera soft stack will just give up and require a reboot.

The worst is when I don't see on the spot that a photo wasn't saved. Then the shot is lost forever.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
could you please tell wich gcam mod you use? [MENTION=5574678]Sly_North[/MENTION] and [MENTION=10481489]Giier[/MENTION]

I would like to try and see if the behavior it's the same...

I think we need help eachother for trying to find the better mod and configs for our phone.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sly_North:
I use Parrot043's GCam.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Giier:
I'm using:

from Tigr: TrCamera_V6 (previously I used V5)

from Tolyan: Gcam_7.3.020_v1.2_TlnNeun

from Parrot: MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V7 (prev. V6, V5)

All the above mods works correctly, settings are the same as suggested (no particular setting, I simply want to take decent pictures, so I won't look for 100 frames for hdr+ or 48x zoom and so on), always clean installation (cache cleared before and after installation, allowed system modification and so on).

From time to time, all the above mods crash, and I must reboot the system (as usual, I clear cache and stored data).

PS. if I install a mod that I previously deleted, for example, I installed Parrot 2 weeks ago, then I unistalled it to try Tolyan, then I install Parrot again, I randomly find some green pics in my gallery, even if I already deleted all the pics previously taken. It sounds like some information are stored and remain somewhere in the system, no matter if you clear cache and data.

I previously tried:

Burial, Urnix, Arnova (crashed right after installation), JairoRossi (crashed very often), CStark (px4.3, crashed very often)

That's all I can say
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
I Thank you both for your answer.

I tried also so much mods that I can't remember :)...

At present parrot, tiger and pixelcam from jairo (all 7.3.20 versions) are in my opinion very stable (except a fluid slow motion) but I must alert that they don't have sugested configs for nokia 7 plus.

So I believe that maybe different configs could make different behaviors...

I know it's very obvious, but for example if the slow motion is setted for 240fps the slow motion crash and so we need to change for 120fps in order to work in our phone... and so other things like optical stabilization and so on...

I found already other mods from previous gcam versions 6.2 (that work in Nokia 8.1) and they work also good in Nokia 7 plus as same level... (Alexey and merlin KU)

So I think if some mods work better it's not a OS problem I think...
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Giier:
Thank you too.

About Gcam mods that don't have N7+ config files, or that don't even have the config files at all, I know that.

Anyway, most of the parameters that I'm interested in, are available and can be set manually.

As I said, I don't need particular functions, but I basically need a good camera to take pictures with good definition and good colors.

That's why I disable or set at the minimum level every parameter that could require memory or processor speed and power for functions that I don't use. Optical stabilizatin, for example, or frames for video, slow motion and so on, panoramic, photosphere, astrophotography... I don't need them.

Before upgrading to A10, I used a very good gcam mod from Cstark, and Backrider too.

Then, I tried to use them again on A10, but they were not running on A10.

So, if you, or other users, can say that earlier version of GCam could run on A10 and quality of pictures is just as good as it should be with Gcam 7, I'd rather install Gcam 6 mod. (and suggestions are welcome).

I'm not the one who runs after every new smartphone model or every new version of his apps, if I try latest version of gcam mods is just because I hope that the new version can be less buggy.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
So do I (for your last paragraph)

I do continue trying mods just because the slow motion. I have already enough mods for taking good quality photos...

Well, I see you also take care about settings, so I can't understand why your phone crash.

I do take lots of pictures, but I must say that I don't change so much the photographs mods (like between HDR+ or HDR enhance or astro mode).

I use normally the HDR + on at normal/low frames.

So give a try at my last 6.2 proposes of Nokia 8.1 or take a look in Nokia 8.1 gcam mods. I'm starting to search there as well.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
I too have tried a lot of different gcam, even with the xml for Nokia 7plus ...

I am convinced that it is due to A10, but would it be possible to return to A9?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
Finally I installed open camera, it's a good compromise and it works well ... Well it's not gcam but it's already better than the stock.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
If you can't avoid the gcam crash, It's a good choice as alternative to stock camera. Unfortunately the slow motion still not good, if it was good I would certainly use it as well.

About your last post question I read there is a site (techmesto) that helps. If you pay about 10 dolars you get unlock bootloader/root on your phone and than you can install every rom you want...

I maybe will do that when get sure that this is a Nokia problem and only when Nokia end release updates for this phone...
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
Yes that's it, and hey I'm not interested in idling. So does installing a custom rom prevent a gcam crash?

Wouldn't it be possible to unlock the bootloader and root yourself, without spending the $ 10?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
I'm not 100% sure, but look alike with the pixel experience rom everything works good.

About unlock the bootloader in another way I don't know...

Nokia has in her Site something about unlocking bootloader, but I heard already that it's just "propaganda"...

Anyway I think if techmesto do the job, 10$ it's worth.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Liftedcorn:
Nope

---------- Post added at 03:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 AM ----------

You need to pay to unlock bootloader. The process is complicated and you won't understand it.

For gcam crash, you don't need to flash custom ROM to make gcam work. You can simply flash the customised vendor image and gcam will work on stock rom as well
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
Ok, but you have to be root for that right?

I root and flash a lot of smartphones (nexus one has today) so it shouldn't be that complicated?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Liftedcorn:
You can root after your bootloader is unlocked.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
I'm sorry for my ignorance, but can you explain in simple terms what is a vendor image?

Thanks in advance
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] jaskiratsingh:
Every device needs drivers to operate components like GPS, proximity, and other sensors Developers need to consider these drivers in their software, which are under the system partition. Every app has to locate those drivers independently. Putting device-specific drivers in vendor.img consolidates all that trouble.

Vendor images contain device-specific hardware drivers, and universal for all apps within a device. A ROM developer can create universal ROMs for multiple devices, then users can apply the appropriate vendor images for their own devices.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Liftedcorn:
Dise released gcam v4.5

I've tested the version thoroughly and I've noted following points. Hexagon DSP is forced on. You can't disable it.

But I've installed the version this noon and i was testing it.

I've noted the following things.

0. SLOW MOTION DOESN'T WORK.

1. I quickly pressed the shutter button 20 times. Out of those 20, 14 photos were captured. The other 6 times, which were random, the shutter button greyed out for fraction of seconds. But all 14 photos were saved. No green tint or whatsoever.

I took this photo in HDR mode and with Motion off.

I also tried with motion on auto and result was around 15 photos out of 24 shutter presses were saved.

So, suit yourself while using motion on auto.

( For some odd reason, the faster I pressed the shutter, the faster was HDR processing. For a single click, it was taking more time )

2. HDR+ Enhanced works.

3. Panorama works, though it gives little bit darker photos.

4. Video works.

5. Portrait works both on front cam and back cam.

6. Night Sight works but takes slightly longer time during processing. ( Little more than other versions )

7. Photosphere and Playground and Timelapse works too.

Overall, bit stable version. For me at least.

The color reproduced are close to what you see. The auto white balance does a good job ( I guess ? )

Little to no grains in low light.

HOW DID I INSTALL ?

1. Cleared the storage data of the previous version of gcam installed.

2. After clearing data, I uninstalled the version and then rebooted.

3. Then normal install and use. ( No clearing cache etc required )

I'll update this after 2 days of usage.

Here's the link : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-the_dise/#apk1634
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Giier:
This morning, Parrot mod V8 stopped working.

I had to restart the system 3 times before having it back again.

Also, before the last restart, I stopped STOCK CAM and cleaned cache and other information (stock cam).

What I noticed:

- First shot was a green pic

- working modes (while in crash): video, panoramic, selfie

- not working: camera, portrait.

Other modes not tested.

Also:

-I took a couple of pics and noticed that they came from the second lens.

I noticed it because resulting pic was not what I saw on the screen: I pointed at the face of my cat, and the resulting pic was his paws. Also, very dark.

- Processor area on the back of smartphone was very hot, even after a couple of restarts.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
Thanks for your report [MENTION=9042547]Liftedcorn[/MENTION]

Can you elect the best quality picture for you between the_dise, tigr and parrot or maybe other mod.

As a Nokia 7 plus user, I think would be nice to have a kind of gcam mods ranking.

A have the idea that the tiger mod bring high quality pictures as well but with big size files... Does this mod take care of this point?

Last consider, it's so depressing that slow motion still don't work...
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Liftedcorn:
I tried tigr camera .. but for some reason, it didn't work on my phone.

Nevertheless, today the same issue happened with the dise port as well. Stopped working today after I tried to capture pics, confirming the theory that we have issues with OS itself which makes gcam stop working
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Max-ML:
Strange as from my exp tigr is quite stable along with cstark and parrot.

Someday every mod crashes, but these at least work for a while and somehow I manage to make 50+ pictures before restart required.

Using parrot mod right now.

Try to allow "modify system settings". Not 100% sure that's a solution, but many insist that could help.

Green picture issue still occurs but less often.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pitada72:
That's why I think it's not a OS problem. (If some mods work better than others)

With tigr I don't need to allow system modify permission, when get green pictures I just changed the model of main camera and reboot.

Last Cstark mod working good except slow motion.

Killercam also works good except slow motion as well. But it's based in 6.1. attached my configs
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Max-ML:
FMPV no mod works :( unfortunately

My 7+ is 2 yo and GCam mods worked just fine on A9.

These nasty green issues came with A10 update.

Yes some mods sometimes may give tens of shots while others just few but any and all stop unless you reboot.

And after reboot they only work for a while.

Anyhow plan to change for 7.3 - another Nokia :) upon release
