Hi,

For some reason, got an update from samsung this morning, latest One UI 2.5.

After updating my Gcam stopped working, tried several different apps but

still stops and closes when opened. Any ideas???

Ken
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] beserker15:
That's a little concerning. Can you download Camera2 API Probe from the Play store and see if the camera still supports RAW capture?

Also try this specific gcam to see if it works for you https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/NGCam_7.4.104-v1.4_snapcam.apk

Hi,

Thanks, I'll try it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] kenfb1:
Ok,

Tried your Gcam, same not working, closes when opened. I was using the latest UltraGcam for quite a while now.

Please download the Camera API2 Probe app and take a screenshot of what it says. I've attached what mine says and I'm still on the July release before OneUI 2.5.

Ok,

Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow. I've been trying different developers versions to see if I get lucky.

Samsung must have done something in the 2.5 update to OneUi that caused it for me.

So I tried Hypercam. When I switched to the telephoto it completed crashed. Wipe data and got everything back. Front-facing camera just hangs.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xDMONEYx:
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying different GCam versions. Some partially worked, namely some HyperCam versions and TrCamera versions. Couldn't seem to get the front camera working on any versions, however. No matter what RAW and Viewfinder format I chose, the front camera would either hang, or cause the app to crash. I rooted through as many settings as I could think to change around to get the front camera working, but nothing was working for me. So I would imagine that the versions that are closing immediately may have some sort of front camera configuration that is now not playing nice after the 2.5 update.

Definitely very strange, hoping a dev can nail this down, because I have been trying to use Samsung's camera app and, boy it's just not comparable to GCam, especially the front camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] beserker15:
That's actually very helpful. Can you guys download the Camera API2 Probe app and post screenshots of what it says for Camera ID 1 and ID 3? This is mine for my Camera ID 1 on the older build.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mstras:
I have attached the camera info.

It looks like the front facing camera is not giving RAW.

Also since I didn't mention it previously I am using a Snapdragon USA unlocked S20
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xDMONEYx:
Looks like both those IDs on the update don't allow RAW capture. That must be part of the problem. Do you know if it is fixable?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] beserker15:
Thanks guys. Super useful info. I don't know if it's fixable but I'm passing the info to the gcam testing group that I'm in so hopefully one of the devs will see and know what to do about it.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] robertscz:
Nothing.... I just got the 3.0 update as well today so I was hoping it would work for gcam once again..

Doesn't really seem like anyone is even bothering with this anymore?

Is there any update on this? I am considering buying a Galaxy S20 plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] biapestana:
Hi! I've been looking all over the internet for this! :D I have the exact same problem! The viewfinder is all white except in portrait mode, but then the photos come out good! It's just irritating because you can't really see how the photo will turn out before taking it! I have a samsung galaxy A71 by the way.

I was hoping you would know how to solve it by now...?

Anyways, thank you so much!!

Hello everyone

Is there any news regarding this?

Just bought the note 20 and front camera doesn’t work

Stock quality frustrating.

For the one who received the update is it possible to do this command with adb .

adb shell dumpsys media.camera > camera2dumpsys_s20.txt
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xDMONEYx:
When trying to run the command, I receive an "Access is denied" message. I've ensured that my device is properly connected for ADB access via the adb devices command and whatnot.

Hey guys, try this one and let me know. I haven't received any updates for my Note 20 Ultra on AT&T, but I was already running One UI 2.5 and I currently have this one working. Only thing not working is Portrait mode.

Edit - So I tried uploading the file several times and it failed so here's the link where I got the working GCam I'm using - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog901/

Sadly this one also immediately crashes for me. But I've never been able to get any of Parrot's ports to work on either my old S10+ or my current S20 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] beserker15:
That's something I'm actually kinda curious about, whether the issue will be consistent with the Note 20 or not. Can you also download and run Camera2 API Probe and let us know if RAW capture is supported by your front cameras?

Do you guys think this is fixable?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xDMONEYx:
I decided to file an error report through the Samsung Members app in the meantime. On the Reddit thread, someone with an Exynos S20 who got the 2.5 update reported that their respective GCam port is still fully working. So this may just be a bug plauging the Snapdragon S20 variants. So we should all file bug/error reports to try and get Samsung's attention (may be futile, but worth a shot I guess).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] scoopman:
S20 here on ATT, updated sadly to this evil 2.5 release.

The gcam version linked here in this reply totally works for me. I tried the latest 7.4 port from this same dev and it crashes like the others.

I wonder if this is all somehow related to using a 7.2 version and later ports don't work.

I haven't tried installing other later versions yet to see if any others work.... But the one linked below definitely worked on my S20 Snapdragon.

hi, i'm on exynos but the front cam is off now....:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xDMONEYx:
Hmm, does the front camera work though? Most people can get a few versions working with the rear camera, but the front camera seems to be the main issue. Interested to know if you made any settings changes if the front camera does work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] scoopman:
You're right, front selfie camera doesn't work with this build, black screen. App doesn't crash and close though.

I don't use the selfie camera that much so this doesn't bug me a ton.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xDMONEYx:
Makes sense! Thanks for the input. I honestly can't do much to fix it myself, I'm not a dev. Just trying to gather as much info for my own peace of mind hahaha.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] robertscz:
so i have a new s20 plus coming this week and was excited about using the gcam for this phone.... as i understand the US snapdragon version comes preloaded with UI 2.0 or 2.1 out of the box is that correct?? will i be forced to update to 2.5 before the phone will work correctly or can i choose to not update and stick with the older version in order to be able to use gcam? thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] beserker15:
You can disable auto updates in developer options. I'm still on 2.1 myself. Also I believe even if you did update to 2.5, the bootloader version still has not updated which means you can still download an older firmware and use Odin to downgrade. Samsung allows you to downgrade firmware that's on the same bootloader version.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] gavilan2010:
Yes i downgrade, to atf9 because too many littles bugs but SA 5G is the one i dont like loosing connection tmobile 981u SD USA

so i upgraded when 2.5 is more stable and no too many little bugs
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xDMONEYx:
This is good to know, I was curious as to whether or not you could downgrade with Odin or not. I might have to do this in the coming days. The changes in 2.5 don't really matter much to me, much rather have working GCam over the few new features 2.5 brings, that I don't really use/need to begin with.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] robertscz:

This version still closes immediately upon opening on my S20 Ultra on the 2.5 update. Looks like you have the S20 5G? Are you also on the 2.5 update? If so, maybe this truly is affecting all device models differently.

Weird - I know this is the S20 spot for it, but I tried this on my Note 20 Ultra, and it worked - once. The back was blurry and it said to clean the lens, but the front one didn't work - black screen. After closing and reopening, it just crashed. Based on reports that the OneUI 2.5 breaks them all, I guess it's not surprising.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] kenfb1:
Samsung recently rolled out the most anticipated One UI 2.5 firmware update for the Galaxy S20 series with August 2020 security patch. One UI 2.5 basically launched with the Note 20 series. The manufacturer promised that the same update with come to the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra with all the new features. Apparently, One UI 2.5 update blocks Google Camera apps from running on the Galaxy S20 series. Users who upgraded their devices have started reporting that the Gcam mods, that worked prior to the upgrade, suddenly stopped working.

This is bad news for all the Samsung users as the One UI 2.5 firmware will be rolling out to the Galaxy S10 series, Note 10 series, Galaxy S9 series, Note 9, and more. So if the Samsung is intentionally blocking Google Camera app from running, then devices like Galaxy S9 and Note 9 are screwed forever. That’s because One UI 2.5 firmware based on Android 10 will be the last major update the two devices will get.

An observation I wish to make for 1329, on my device in the viewfinder the front selfie camera appears washed out and overexposed, however it does take correctly exposed photos. This is a bug, but not one that impacts the end result.

Curiously, in portrait mode setting the viewfinder is correctly exposed.

I realize this one is for the S20 but I figure you'd want to know this much just because you might be working on one for the Note 20 series and I don't see a post there about it yet - this one with that profile doesn't FC, back camera modes work but photos come out with a crazy purple or blue hue. slo-mo video is super choppy but worked.

Just need to fix the selfie camera as it crashes, but otherwise all good! I actually think though that Samsung improved the stock camera with this update......
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
firstly, we all know about the update.. i dont see it as a big deal..

secondly the app was always "blocked" since ppl need to port it usually and make modded apk for it to work..

lastly good riddance.. maybe will stop seeing so many cry for gcam when its not wven that great imo.. devices arent "screwed forever" except for those thqt only care about gcam at which they should just buy a pixel
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
so its overexposed but properly exposed? how does that work exactly lol being "overexposed" would mean in fact it is not properly exposed wouldnt it?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] beserker15:
I disagree with this statement. If you never optimized gcam to your preference then that's on you but the quality that I get in comparison to stock is night and day... Turns out, not everyone likes the more processed look of stock cam with the heavy noise reduction in lower light.

And this isn't even just about gcam, yes gcam needs to be ported but you know there are other third party camera apps that use RAW too right? Samsung DID block RAW API in the front camera and ultra wide camera after this update that wasn't blocked before. Gcam only crashed because it relied on the RAW API. So Samsung didn't specifically block gcam, they blocked RAW on these auxiliary cameras which also affect other third party apps.

And that's absurd about just buying Pixel. Pixel has a great camera software but their hardware is crap. Samsung makes the best hardware and their software is constantly improving but to those who loves photography (more than just compresses instagram photos), stock cam isn't there yet. Using the best hardware (S20 Ultra sensor) combined with superior camera software (gcam) is literally best of both worlds.

Samsung's stock pro mode btw only works with the main camera as well so if you wanted better stuff from the auxiliary cameras, you had to go third party.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xDMONEYx:
I have seen this before as well throughout the years on various GCam ports/versions, on various devices. The VIEWFINDER (as OP stated) appears to be over-exposed, but when you actually take the picture, the picture itself is not actually over-exposed. I'd imagine people testing the camera are just trying to provide Arnova with any and all info they can, as he clearly cares about trying to remedy this for people who are interested in using GCam ports on their Samsung phones.

I am not sure what your purpose in this thread is. If you don't care about GCam ports and just want to come antagonize people trying to contribute to fixing the GCam port issues on the 2.5 update, why not just leave the thread alone?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Sunspark:
What I mean by this is that when you are looking at the live screen in "Camera" with the front camera your face will look washed out and too bright or cloudy, but when you look at the photo you just took in the gallery none of that will appear. Your complexion will not be washed out in the photo.

Looking at the live screen in "Portrait" does not display this same washed out effect.

Both save the photos with the correct exposure, this is some sort of display bug for the "Camera" mode.
