Everyone knows how to install GCAM port but the problem is with Portrait / Night Sight Mode which does not work due Camera 2API limitations. Even the gcam port that is in the links provided are totally useless.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kamalkiraa:
I found most of them rooted their mobiles (from Twrp thread) does anyone tried enabling camera2api?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mohamadida:
Yes, me too. It does make some weird sound as well. I wonder if it is normal?

Yes me too, it does even make some weird sound as well, even when I open twitter and wanted to post a picture. Have anyone else encounter the same problem?

Any news on Gcam with working night sight and portrait mode for A50 ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chandan9949:
Did anyone try by rooting the phone?? And enabling

camera 2 api
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
The build.prop and other app-based Camera2 API enablers don't work with the A50 because Samsung has limited the API at a lower level. Considering we only have the stock ROM at the moment, only Samsung can enable the same through their firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zakaria9:
yes Samsung has limited the api at lower level

I found an apk can take video in 6k resolution

ultracorder

take video in night is good
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Anoop72001:

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Skullshady isn't active anymore on Gcam modding front.

Update - You can use portrait mode & nightsight on galaxy A50 after fully enabling camera2api ( level 3 functionality) as stated by one of the gcam modder for galaxy A50 by [MENTION=6237906]sumedhs[/MENTION]hinde.

Further more after fully enabling the Camera2api, use this Gcam mod [MENTION=6237906]sumedhs[/MENTION]hinde sent me based on BSG's work.

Link - https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=19u0PQM7RijK9woZey81OrrZScOoEC2uG

( Note : This apk will also work in the stock condition but you won't get portrait mode & nightsight. Panorama, lens blur, Ar stickers, 4k 30fps are all working and available. )

I'll try & get in contact with the developer [MENTION=6237906]sumedhs[/MENTION]hinde himself as soon as possible, dudes on a vacation trip.

Cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Follow these steps to enable camera2api on Galaxy A50 without interfering with ota updates & stuff etc, ofcourse at your own risk.

( Note : To enable camera2api without unlocking bootloader, rooting etc & all that stuff which voids warranty & affects Ota updates, we need to enter into fastboot mode, which is generally absent/hidden on Samsung devices, thus we will get into fastboot mode & then use our usual Hal3 command )

PREREQUISITES :

1) Samsung's Odin flash tool to enter into fastboot mode.

Download : https://www.ytechb.com/odin-flash-tool/

2) Samsung Usb drivers ( Install it on Pc )

Download : https://www.ytechb.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers/

STEPS :

1) In Galaxy A50 Open Settings and go to About Phone > Software info and tap continuously on “Build Number” until it says you are now a developer.

2) Now In Settings go to Developer Options and check OEM Unlocking (it must be greyed out). If RMM is locked you will not see OEM Unlock option.

3) In PC extract the downloaded Odin zip. And open Odin.exe application.

4) Completely turn off your phone.

5) Press & hold Volume Up + Power together till it shows recovery information. It will boot into recovery mode.

6) Follow the usual steps to enable camera2api on any device now, there are hundreds of tutorials on putting Hal3 command in the Terminal.

I hope this works ,

Cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
As I mentioned previously, the HAL3 command doesn't work on the A50 as I have tried it with root access. Why are you posting futile instructions that require people to reset their devices without any benefit? Unless you have successfully tried it out yourself, it makes no sense to copy-paste stuff from somewhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Hey son, think before you comment anything irrelevant. I don't understand why would you say the term "Copying" for no reason, it seems irrelevant.

I've long ago updated my error comment.

Talking about unable to use Hal3 command even after rooting, first of all get to know about basics of rooting when it comes to exynos powered samsung devices, it affects stock binaries. Infact when you flash twrp after flashing decryption file, all stock apps on Galaxy A50 fail due to tripping & you're stuck on a bootloop.

My method doesn't involve unlocking bootloader & factory resetting your phone.

Oem unlock is enabled so as to enter into fastboot mode using odin, so that you use HAL3 command.

Especially for your, Flash this file using twrp to enable camera2api.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xHniMDipnF0RIvd5Fnpjg3RwVyv6YvHl/view

Try & be more polite & relevant next time son.

Cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ognjen73:
Can anyone confirm that this Is working and give us Camera2Api probe screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
And yet you have not provided any proof that it is working for you. That was the essence of my post which seems to have completely gone over your head. There is no question of politeness here but rather the need of evidence in support of any tutorial that's posted.

At the time of my reply, your post specifically mentioned "factory reset" which you have since deleted. The HAL3 command works with root on all devices, so if the Camera's API Level is impacted by tripping of Knox, then I would like to know more about it.

Also, the TWRP bootloop occurs mainly because the kernel booting recovery is incapable of booting Android and has nothing to do with Knox tripping.

On the whole, your post is unsubstantiated and justifiably to be cautioned against, especially your initial tutorial which had a lot of unnecessary steps resulting in possible data loss.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Hey son, you got triggered it seems !

First of all, this is not a place for your arguments & what you believe, right or wrong it maybe & neither it's a place for you to pass your Social judgement to be very precise. Lets be clear of that.

Now keeping your irrelevancy out of the way, let's consider your response for one minute.

1) It's common sense which is pretty uncommon in your mind that Hal3 can ofcourse be edited after rooting when you can already edit it even without unlocking your bootloader.

2) Where did you took the bs of tipping of knox ? There's ain't a single place where i mentioned about "knox tipping" ! I would like to learn more about your

art of delusion, thats for sure.

3) When did i even related bootlooping to knox ? Delusional bs ! Btw, majority of the bootloops happening on Galaxy A50 is due to incompatible twrp recovery files for various versions of A50. Have a look at Galaxy A50's twrp thread.

4) "Your post is justified to be cautioned against especially due to data loss" .......I would like to know kid how booting into fastboot mode causes data loss ( slow claps )
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
You just needed to post proof that this works and instead you are going on a rant for some delusional reason. Not going to bother responding again. Good for those who benefit from your pointless post.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Lol, you got triggered again kid.

You're been ignored for spamming with fake comments

Come up with some relevant material until then don't bother to comment on this thread. Please don't spam again outta respect for this forum.

Cheers :l
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragosflorinraileanu:
[MENTION=935787]sumedh[/MENTION] calm down boy. What have you posted to enable HAL3 is totally useless and irrelevant. First of all, Samsung devices have no longer Fastboot Mode and this feature is not working at all.

Second of all. How the hell do you boot on fastboot mode via Odin ?! Odin is used to flash stock firmware or custom recovery images and binaries through the phone memory not to boot as you mentioned in your comment.

Regardin to TWRP Guide it was made for April build of Android version for Samsung Galaxy A50 which right now is not working with the latest update.

I tried over 50 times to unlock all the camera features resetting the device and trying to compile files and nothing works and think about this that this phone is my daily driver and what have you posted is irrelevant without any proof that this works and also you have no explanation how to enable that command as well. You basically gave some information to all Galaxy A50 users to search on Google for guide.

Next time, before posting and accusing other Senior Members for fake comments, use your brain and stop posting something that is not working at all.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Aren't you the same guy with different ID [MENTION=3453963]t3chg33k[/MENTION].

( one post & zero thanks, lol )

Dumb kid, Samsung's Download mode has recovery mode option. Samsung doesn't calls it Fastboot mode like other devices that's it.

Stop spreading bs over here. I too have a Galaxy A50 SM-A50f, do you need an ss kid ? I've modded Gcams for Moto g5 plus, Nokia 8.1 & now I'm doing it for Galaxy A50 too. This my new ID, Don't teach me what you've begun to understand right now & cut the senior memeber crap.

Odin is also used to get into recovery mode as the new devices don't have a dedicated home button or bixby button to do so.

Don't be imputent kid, ask me, I'll tell you how to do that.

》 These instructions are applicable to almost all Samsung manufactured devices except the newer flagships without a home button.

ODIN/Download mode:

Power off the device. Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power keys altogether.

Recovery mode:

Power off the device. Press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons altogether.

》 New Samsung Galaxy devices with Bixby button

Not a lot has changed in terms of the button combination over the years. The Bixby button simply replaces the home button in the above button combinations.

ODIN/Download mode:

Power off the device. Press and hold Volume Down, Bixby and Power keys simultaneously. Release the keys when you see a blue screen and press the Volume Up button to continue to boot into Download mode.

Recovery mode:

Power off the device. Press and hold VolumeUp, Bixby, and Power buttons simultaneously. When you see the Android logo on screen with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark, just tap on the screen to enter recovery mode.

》 New Samsung Galaxy devices with no Home & Bixby buttons

ODIN/Download mode:

Turn off your device. You can do so by holding the Volume Down + Volume Up + Power keys simultaneously for a few seconds. Release the keys when you get a screen with an exclamation sign. Press the Volume Up button to enter the Download Mode.

Recovery mode:

Press and hold the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time. As soon as the screen turns off, release the Volume Down button and keep Volume Up + Power buttons pressed. Keep both the keys pressed until your device enters the recovery mode.

Here's the ID of my friend [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] a.k.a [MENTION=6237906]sumedhs[/MENTION]hinde, who has modded gcams for Samsung for years now, I've worked with him on many occassions & both of us were inactive for a long time. I've asked him to help me with modding a gcam for A50 too.

Btw, you don't need to compile any files to enable all the levels of camera2api, cut the crap kid, it feels like you're trying too hard, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
Don't waste your breath on him as he is completely clueless. He is still unable to fathom that the script he has posted does nothing more than add "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" to build.prop which doesn't work for the A50.

On top of that there was no working TWRP to flash the file with when the steps were posted. The Download mode for Odin doesn't accept fastboot commands so the steps he has kept after deleting others make even less sense.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] therealroyston2:
Why are you calling him a kid continuously, this isn't youtube, you don't have proof of anything working and yet you keep calling him triggered, all he was asking for was some proof.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
I like the way you ignored how he lied of "knox triggering" about "data loss" etc bs. It's obvio no one posts stuff without trying thier stuff right. I've also posted a working Gcam mod i made in the last comments. I bet it's you who hasn't tried it & yet you feel free to point fingers on others work.

And why would you need proof for getting into fastboot/Download mode on samsung, isn't it out for years ?

Ofcourse i was able to get into download/fastboot mode on my A50 & my S8 too, this stuff ain't new.

Talking about Hal3 enabling, I've said at the end of my post, i hope this works.

Stop following your friend's band wagon.

Please have some decency to atleast try the stuff before blaming & supporting lies cuz it's ain't YouTube right ?!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Outrider_FIN:
Does using Google camera affect the processing of the images? Do you get better details compared to Samsung camera app or does the image processing happen at a deeper level?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
ㅤㅤㅤ
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] moteofsun:
It's not working due the fact that Samsung does not provide Fastboot mode anymore like we used to have on Samsung Galaxy S3,S4,S5 devices. Now, Download Mode works only flashing by Odin and that's it.

If you try with ADB while in Download Mode to type "fastboot devices" you will have no devices attached even that you have ADB Drivers installed for your phone.

I've tried one month ago while rooted with Magisk to enable HAL3 via build.prop and I had no success at all.

So is this possible or...
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iel0000:
this is proven not working
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
It works re, but the build.prop isn't accepting the string value "1" for Hal3.camera. It's staying at "0"

That's why camera2api isn't getting enabled.

It's better than the remaing alternative wherein in some ppl rooted their phones with no success at all, atleast it'll save time of viewers

No method's working, period !
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] moteofsun:
I've rooted in the past my A50 successfully but editing build.prop to enable HAL3 still doesn't work probably due security limitations. As you said, none of methods mentioned are working.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
My post was to save ppls time who would've rooted their phones with no success. There's a trigger in the system/files which is tipping the string value back to "0". It's the same which tips knox & S.pay after rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
For the record, the value remains at 1 and does nothing on a rooted system. Meanwhile, edit to get Samsung Health functional works fine.

Even something like Widevine Level 1 is not impacted by Knox. The apps impacted by Knox specifically display an error message after Knox is tripped.

The camera is not impacted by Knox and the build.prop edit does nothing because Samsung has locked down the API at another level. Hence, it is about time that the build.prop idea is dropped for good as far as A50 is concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
I said the trigger is similar to tipping of knox.

I didn't relate knox to camera whatsoever the way you linked them. Knox has nothing to do with camera.

》 The value doesn't remain 1, as the Api functionality is still disabled in the checker.

》 There are only 4 levels of camera2api all of which are editable in build.prop

1) Legacy

2) Limited

3) Full

4) Level 3 ( this is required for Nightsight & portrait mode to get working)

There is no such thing as locking which you suggested beyond these 4 levels.

》Build.prop idea needs to be dropped ? MAYBE !
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
A50 Camera is at Limited, so I am not talking about any level other than those 4. What I am saying is that Samsung has locked the Camera at Limited level irrespective of build.prop values. Seems a deliberate move on Samsung's part to perhaps hobble the camera further in a mid-range device.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Seems pretty logical mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] killingfire28:
Samsung has released a new update for A50 and it now have a dedicated night mode, i wonder if Samsung provided us with the level 3 camera 2 api.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
No, it is still at Level 3 and it is unlikely it will ever change since Samsung uses its own APIs and provides its own limited camera SDK. Best hope is a hack of some sort as normal methods won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] t3chg33k:
It has only been released for INS CSC as of now. It will most likely follow for others. If you are on INS CSC, then OTA may be staggered to reduce load.

June 01 2019
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
You mean "it is still at limited" not level 3.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Didn't check using "getprop | grep camera" whether the hal3 is enabled or not yet.

Even if it is enabled (1), as i said previously, though everyone disagreed, it doesn't guarantees that Gcam will work.

"Enabling HAL3 support doesn’t mean that all of Camera2 API features are available, as a company could still modify functionality such as RAW capture support, ISO levels, exposure times and more" as stated.

Hence you're seeing shutter speed going as low as 1/8 while it was not going below 1/10 using scene optimizer prior to June update on Galaxy A50. ( according to my observations )

Plus the Api level is still showing restricted to "Limited"

It's like Devs at Samsung know that we want to use Gcam on A50, but they won't allow it, hehe.

Cheers :)

Yo guys how long until orher countries get the june security update? And is it possible to flash indian firmware without losing data to get the update faster?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bl4Ck R34Ct0r:
Yes you can!

Install Samsung Smart Switch on both your PC and phone, connect your phone via USB.

- In Smart Switch program on your computer, go to more → Preferences → Software Update

- Tick " Latest Software pre-download" Box then Check your device in "Target Devices for software pre-download"

After this, Smart Switch will download the latest update for your phone (it may take some time) and next time you plug your phone it will tell you that there is an update, click update and just wait for it..

Or you can flash the newest firmware (India) using Odin, but you need HOME CSC for your data.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] h.d.z.z:
Thanks man i will try it and tell you what happens

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

So samsung smart switch didnt find anything. Will flashing indian firmware on an a50 with iraq csc cause any issues? Or will it work normally?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] madd0g:
Just chill and wait for it, staggered releases aren't there just for show.

sent from a far away planet
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leonbarroso:
yes

for low light, it must be like 1/6 , (or above 1, but I think A50 doesn't support this amount of shutter speed)
