[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Themes, Apps, and Mods] arnold991:
hey brother, first big thanks to you for doing this.

yesterday i just ordered 3gb version of this and glad to find your google camera app review. i earlier saw your videos with max pro m1. i like the way you reviewed it, like a daily usage user unlike others who do monotonous review which gives the feel that the person did not even use it.

https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_max_pro_(m1)_zb601kl-9173.php

Anyways, my query is regarding google camera app on max pro m1 ?

1) In the specs, its given that phone supports 1080p/60fps recording. During its announcement it was mentioned that such feature will come ? Could you please check whether google camera app provides the same ?

2) And in the video you have mentioned with google camera app, support for EIS comes in ? Could you please elaborate more on that.

And part from this, please give your general view with new updates how much is the Fingerprint sensor and Faceunlock is making life better or worse as most says because of its slow speed?

Cheers,

Arnold

Any apk for unrooted device? All can't root the device, as it has risk of making phone dead.

What happens to the Battery life and futures OTA updates !?

Thanks for the post

Indeed am looking forward to root my asus max pro m1 and install google camera

But Need to know how it affects the battery life and Future OTA updates that the Phone is likely to receive.

Looking forward for an answer !

Cheers and Peace!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Themes, Apps, and Mods] nrp31:
It doesn't affect the battery life and apparently OTA Updates will work with Redwolf Recovery. I haven't tested it since there is no new update to test with
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Themes, Apps, and Mods] nrp31:
I haven't found anything for unrooted phones. Rooting won't make your phone dead. There are ample amount of guides here on xda which are very simple.

I couldn't see 60fps option but I will try some other google camera apk and reverify. About EIS, yes it works with Google Camera. Sometimes you get some artifacts on the left/right edge but overall the footage seems a lot smoother. I still find fingerprint sensor to be slower and face unlock is a hit or miss. I'd say it works 70% of the times. Struggles sometimes in indoor or dim lighting conditions.

please elaborate why its not working without camera2api. what do you mean.

after a while i read about hal3 enable, camera2api, i get to a conclusion, whats the use of them really affect the way we take a picture ? or it could make the result better ? i really dont give a **** if its there or not. but i appreciate every works here especially in our device thread.

anyway, here what i found. sadly to say.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Akashnaresh:
I have tried everything but Google camera stopped working
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Themes, Apps, and Mods] AVinaSh_S:
Basically camera2api enables advance features which are used by apps like Google Camera , Modded Gcam etc which enables these apps to have more finer control.

The support for camera2api is at 4 levels - Legacy < Limited < Full < Level 3.

As out-of-box camera2api is not enabled in Asus Zenfone Max Pro, we have the implementation level as Legacy.

But with that also Google Camera produces great results as shown by OP.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Check if camera2api is enabled or not.

Do the below,

Get this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en_IN

Give root access.

You have a menu on left side --> select Build prop editor under tools.

Search for "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled" and change it to 1 and save.

Then,

Go to settings

Apps and notifications

Select google camera

Permissions

Enable all permissions

Go back and Force Stop

Open camera again.

Can I directly install ota updates after doing all this rooting process and installing Google camera
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Themes, Apps, and Mods] nrp31:
I'm not sure. Apparently the OTA updates should work with RedWolf Recovery but it didn't work for me. Worst case scenario, you have to download the update file from Asus and flash it via recovery which is not that difficult
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Desmanto:
Google introduce Camera2 API in Lollipop, kinda as a way to standardize manual camera setting. Before this, many OEM implement their own solution and create so many fragmentation across devices. Enabling C2A usually enable fine tune of all kind of manual setting, including shutter speed, exposure, RAW capture and many more. Most new camera sensors already support this in the camera library (not all are stable though).

But sadly so many OEM disable it in their ROM, maybe for product segmentation. ProM1 was focused to be "limitless gaming". Enabling C2A by default will probably make Zenfone 5 less attractive. That's why you have to enabled it by yourself, and that requires UBL and at least TWRP/root.

Which apk do you try? the one from the youtube video? https://goo.gl/qbaewX

If you edit build.prop directly (modify the file), then no OTA until you flash a clean stock system image back. (i don't know if re-edit back the value will allow OTA again) To be safe, you can just use magisk root to enable it by using persist.prop. This will not touch the /system , thus OTA safe.

I am using google camera on unrooted Mi A1.

The point is that its possible to get google camera without root, but one necessary step is bootloader unlock is necessary:

This post by [MENTION=8676627]AridaneAM[/MENTION] tells the story.

The difference b/w A1 and M1 for the above steps is that A1's bootloader supports unlocking/relocking without data wipe, while M1 does not.(Otherwise i would not have asked someone's help here..)

So the above method ensures all stock ROM with official updates from xiaomi, and with google camera on my A1

The point of this post is, can anyone who has already unlocked bootloader try the above method and report back, if the camera2 api still works even after a bootloader relock on Asus M1?

If so, i can go ahead for once a time headache of setting up my phone due to data wipe.

I am not willing to root this phone, so if anyone can confirm if this solution is working for google camera without root and with all OTA updates that would be great!

Thanks very much.

[MENTION=4847852]nrp31[/MENTION] could you be able to make a guide on how to flash stock ROM if you are coming from custom rom like lineage / AEX etc.

I know you already have created a video guide for bootloader relock from Stock ROM - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peSI-KeEt5E

It will be of great help if you can guide us on the process to do this from Custom ROM as well.

One question about the HDR+ using GCAM app. I am currently using the good old redmi note 3 pro. and everytime when i took picture with the gcam with HDR+, there is a small loading circle appear for maybe 1-2 second before the image is captured. The time of the capture depend on the lowlight condition.

So my question is, since this is a more powerful SD 636, using GCAM HDR, does it lag or still need loading time? or is it instant take just like the pixel?

Have you tried Flashtool? It should sort it out. If you need to keep your data, don't check any of the boxes under "Wipe" collumn. If that doesn't work, then do it again with checking all those boxes under Wipe, but you will loose your data.

That's why you should use Flashtool, it has Xperifirm built in, just pick your model and region (make sure it's Customized variant of the firmware, not carrier branded), and the Flashtool will build it properly.

Hope you sort it out, let us know.

Oddly enough it works with a second user on my phone but happens to other Google accounts for my own user as well. There is no Google account currently in use.

Is there a way to reset the accounts by deleting something in /data? I suspect there is something wrong with the Google logins on my user.
