Minor clarification

Hey there mate, love that you're still devoted to this, I keep coming back to check this thread for new stuff. I just had a tiny doubt about the post where in the fixes section you mention that the video stabilisation doesn't work in the recommended APK. Is this the one from option 1 or 2?

I've been using the one from option 2 from your last post and the stabilisation works well in that one but it looks like you've updated that apk (merged it with option 1), so does the stabilisation not work in this new one?

Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Does anyone know if this isn't just the app reporting the 16 mp camera as 4mp because of pixel binding which is talked about in another camera thread. Basically, the sensor collects data from 4 pixels and compresses it into one. So it actually is the 16 mp camera at work after all?

latest switchable GCam 6.1 mod by [MENTION=8472543]fu24[/MENTION] working flawlessly on moto x4 both cameras with this magisk module. i edited it so it supports moto camera too. or if you don't have magisk just follow instructions from first post and add com.dual.GCam in build.prop

more about GCam port here
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDave78:
Just tried this one. Open's then crashes, even with the Magisk module installed...

I'm running (8.1) Resurrection Remix v6.1
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] uccollab:
Hi, could please explain why this apk should be used instead of the others?
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] uccollab:
I should have been clearer. The stabilization works on 30FPS videos for me, but in 60fps ones it makes the video slow. To be more specific 30FPS videos runs on 30fps even if stabilized, but 60fps ones runs at unstable 30FPS
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] samshady7:
That makes sense. It was the same with the older apk too. The night sight on this one seems a lot faster. I may have found another bug: the front cam with hdr turned off and flash on, turns the flash on and then the screen just stays glowing bright and there's no photo actually being taken. I changed the input model to Nexus 5X and it didn't work either. If this can be fixed in the settings, do let me know.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jacoprog:
Hi guys, I'd like to shere my settings and the Gcam I use.

It's cause Im on pie isnt it?
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Organics:
Hmm, odd. I'm also on pie and is working just fine.

Have you toggled the add AUX to camera switch thingy under settings>BSG mod settings??
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] zmanfarlee:
Yep did everything three times. How did you edit the buildprop? My only thought is doing it via text editor in root explorer caused an issue somehow.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Organics:
I edited via ES explorer (an older version). For me the in app text editor worked fine.

Maybe try installing another version of the app? This one is working great for me. Credit to BSG.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] zmanfarlee:
Thank you for the effort. Unfortunately it's still poop. I will try a custom rom soon and see if that redoes everything and then maybe it works.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] zmanfarlee:
Im an idiot. I thought there was a clear icon to show in wide angle. You just have to notice it. Works great!

UPDATE: now the port doesn't suffer from the resolution switch bug! Also removed SlowMo (see in FAQ why). Now a single apk works for both the cases!
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
In case nobody else mentions this; I would like to thank you for your hard work.

It's good to see continuing development on older devices.

Even if it doesn't work with Lineage, I'm sure that there are many other people who have been and will be using this.

I also agree that stability is more important than feature set.

It's why I plan on using a more stable rom like lineage over some of the other in development or unofficial roms that the X4 currently has.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhedfors:
Updated app and now the app closes immediately. Tried to restore the previous version and now I can't toggle the widescreen, and the instructions are gone now.

I have the build prop changes in place, but I can't find the toggle to enable widescreen switch.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
From original post:

Now the switch button will do the following:

Rear Cam -> Front Cam

Just as usual, but if you long-press it it will switch the rear camera with the wide one.

Hope that helps
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhedfors:
Thanks, but I am not even able to get that far as the app is force closing.

A number of people had a certain problem before, which was the number of spaces in the build.prop.

Source: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78347622&postcount=9

[EDIT]

I studied the build.prop some more and I don't know what you meant by "I have the changes" but if you did literally what was stated, it's wrong.

I'm no good with this stuff myself so I probably would have done that.

For just GCam, it should read: vendor.camera.aux.packagelist2=com.dual.GCam

That never changed from what it was before but to do restore the old GCam you need two apps for all functions. Only one to test that the old dual-lens system worked.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhedfors:
Trying to get back to the way it was working before, but I cannot find/remember where that setting is.

I thought there was a setting to change in this version:

MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2.apk

.. Before installing this version:

MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2b_plus.apk

Confused.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
Unfortunately I don't have any more information to work off of.

You will need to wait for the developer and between the two of you, find out exactly what went wrong.

The developer was focused on stability, yet, missed a step somewhere and now nothing is working.

I assume you're both running on stock ROM and the same firmware to eliminate any other variables.

The developer's profile states that their home country is Italy, so maybe it works on XT1900-5/7 but NOT XT-1900-1.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] uccollab:
Sorry guys, I forgot to mention that you need to do a certain procedure the first time to make it work! This is only on some devices. Btw I've updated the FAQ and you can find the answer there!

[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] uccollab:
TY!
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
A few recommendations:

[MENTION=2091002]jhedfors[/MENTION] - try using the new app with the new procedure, see if that works

[MENTION=5638882]uccollab[/MENTION] - add the original instrumentation from the old setup in the thread somewhere (doesn't need to be in the original post) as a fallback in case there are issues with the app update when releasing an update to the app (plus, in case someone would prefer to have slow-mo but more to the former point than the latter)

Thanks everyone!

P.S.:

I will not be able to try this out for a few months yet because, due to circumstances, I don't have compatible service and I don't want to unlock the phone until I make sure the service works.

My own relatable short story: I wrote a 'class' (took a few months but it was something I wanted to do) for a software service (Salesforce) because it's online training (Trailhead) had all of the pieces there but scattered all over the place. A few months later I took it down because I was moving away from Google and Google Docs and a few weeks after that I'm getting messages; HEY! THE LINK IS BROKEN!. No TYs, just 'HEYs'. So I understand the need to express gratitude.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
Just came across this; I have absolutely no idea what it does but it's for the wide-angle camera in Pie.

It may be completely useless to/for you, but in case it isn't; I found this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603893327
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] uccollab:
This is a magisk module that adds org.aurora.snapcam in the correct line of the build.prop. it could be useful if the camera you want you use has that package name :) but for general use is a little bit limited, though I could edit it to work with the gcam of the guide! But I don't think that would be so helpful, since it is enough to just add the package name in build.prop
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
If that's the case; I would think if anything, a TWRP zip file would be better since (to my knowledge) it needs to be used anyway to pull and push the build.prop file if root is not being used. Not trying to lead you one way or another though, you know much more than I do!
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] uccollab:
If you're not rooted you can simply use "adb pull" and "adb push" to do it. I'm not against flashable zips but with the GCam I should make one for every possible package name :/ also that looks like a magisk module, not a TWRP generic file, so root is still required!

I saw this post today.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78984510&postcount=189

Worth noting as it was mentioned that the wide angle was working running on a custom ROM.

I don't like the fact that it is not coming from the main GCam port website, so maybe run a virus scan on it first.

[EDIT]

I don't know how well it works as, same user, different thread and GCam mod had a large number of features not working as stated below.

I think this is the megapixel problem that you're talking about.

Take note of this statement: "I know you say it's for stock, but I can confirm that, for me at least, it works with this ROM."

It may be the case for your port as well, but I won't be proving or disproving this for a while (months) yet.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] uccollab:
....honestly I didn't get what you're talking about in the whole post lol
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
I noticed that from a few posts mentioned above that the GCam is working on custom roms with wide angle support so it's possible that your port may as well but I won't be able to test it myself for a while. Then I noted that I'm not sure how well the other port mentioned actually works beyond wide angle on a custom rom and that it did mention that it had the megapixel problem. However, the megapixel setting can be changed back manually.

I mentioned it because it's build may give you guidance as to find out what to look into when you decide to do your own research (i.e. you looked under category A but there is indication that you should maybe look into category B as well).

I'm not sure how GCam port development works, but I get the impression that first a port is developed for one device but then others find that it works on their device as well. In our case, I think you/we're the later group and so, as with custom rom development, we may just need to wait a few months for the builds to be developed better so it has fewer bugs ect.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78586628&postcount=88

There were a number of people saying that there were a number of problems with it.

However, the same original thread/mod was approved by her and she updated her OP with it.

[EDIT]

I think one of the main mods for the X4 is based off of it (there are two in the first post so I don't know for sure), so if the cam settings don't look great, you might want to try to do one of thee things.

1) See if AUX can be enabled directly from the link below

2) Overwrite the first app with the one in the link below

3) Export the settings from the link below and import them to the app listed above. (harder)

This post is very confusing for me, I believe I'm doing everything correctly but unfortunately the gcam does not open, it would be easier if I had some self-explanatory prints, it would help a lot of lay people like me.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
I haven't tested this yet but to shorten the OP post for you, read below.

1) Install the app, don't launch yet

2) Update your build.prop so it has the new/updated line "vendor.camera.aux.packagelist2=com.dual.GCam" without quotes and any other apps that should go with it that you are already using (such as the moto X4 cam app)

3) Open the app via the selfie shortcut (camera that faces you) with Nova Launcher (or another launcher if applicable) for first launch (first time used)

I am on the stock (rooted) Retail Pie ROM.

Whenever I start the app, it loads up with a black screen instead of the viewfinder. I must long-press the camera switcher before I can change modes. After this, I can successfully switch between normal and widescreen just fine. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
Based on OP and thread comments, it was suggest to first launch the app via Nova Launcher starting on the selfie cam shortcut upon long pressing the app icon in the launcher.

This may have to do with that.

Just got a new XT-1900-01 (retail). I can't get the app (MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d_fu24-01g.apk) to work - I've tried the "take a selfie" fix, and that doesn't work either. When I "take a selfie", the screen stays black. When I long press the camera switcher, after a while I get a brief view from the selfie camera, and then the app stops. If I try to start the app again, I get "Camera keeps stopping".

The phone is running Oreo with all the updates up to November (the last one it offered) and Nova launcher.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
I don't believe the app will work on the X4 without editing the build.prop file.

I should assume you did but it wasn't explicitly stated in your post.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] mvi57:
Maybe I'm misreading the OP, but I'm reading it as you can do #1 or #2, so you can get GCAM and Night Sight, or those with Wide Lens support. I just want to try #1 and see how it works before I unlock the bootloader (and have to start over because it wipes the phone) if I decide to do #2.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougo007:
I believe you could do so originally but that was no longer the case when it was updated to a new setup/mod.

There are two other mods (1 and 3 based on post) for you to try and both are listed in the link below.

https://xdaforums.com/moto-x4/how-to/gcam-mods-google-camera-ports-thread-x4-t3906482

Unlocking the bootloader is only necessary when you want to start working with the wide angle lens.

In theory, you can take a wide angle photo with the main camera using Google Camera with the photo sphere option as described below.
