With the attached apk..
The one on the play store is working for me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.signalgarden.atomvisualizer
I think ArStickers is only for pixel at the moment unless someone can port it
I managed to get it running but the characters wouldn't display, apparently it's only working on Oreo.

Yeah I just got ARStickers to run too, but the characters wouldn't display, from what I've read it's supposed to be for Android Oreo

Yes. 8.1 only. So maybe we will get it next Christmas...

With the latest ARcore for Nougat I was able to get ARstickers to somewhat work, I have to delete ARstickers Data Everytime I try to open AR Gcam but that's not that bad of a issue. Can't see the AR previews as well. I'm using unrooted completely stock Tmo Note 8 .
Last one is the actual picture

How to install and use ARcore stickers? I could not find them. Thanks.

Works for me on Galaxy Note 8 Oreo(8.0)
I first installed AR Core V2, then Google Camera and an Apk with AR Ornaments (Stikers)
When I opened Google Camera, the menu contains Last Jedi Stickers and three more sticker groups.
Bug: After Installing Google Camera, I couldn't access the share button ( <) on gallery. It force closes. Neither can i set pictures as wallpaper or Profile Pictures. So I have done a reset now everything works fine. I will try intsalling Google Camera once again later today.
Hope this helps

that is rather upsetting, I was looking forward to horizontl home screen and serrings ... and IntelliScan somewhat :crying:
What Samsung has done in the past is wait until the Second major (last major OS update) update to port over the previous years "cool updates" to that phone. Off hand I'm thinking about when the Note 4 got screen off writing, that was a year after the Note 5 came out with it.
no dout there will be s9 rom ports in the future
would it be possible to port "audio system" so we get stereo speakers capability from S9 on Note8/S8 ?
is there a hardware limitation to this (using earpiece as a secondary speaker for media) or is it just purely software ?
I don't think the dual audio from S9 would work to well, I would imagine the top audio speaker would have a smaller speaker in the middle for calls only on the S9
This can be easily solved with a home screen launcher like Apex Launcher as well as a tool to force screen rotation like "adaptive rotation lock" which works on lock screen.
It might even be able to rotate touch wiz but never tried because the moment I got the phone I put on apex launcher

Oh but it works great in note 8 so I am sure it will work better in s9.
The mod I am using has been working for a few months via magic root add-ons and I won't be able to live with a stock Rom now that I have gotten use to the stereo speakers.
In case someone wants to try it then this is the name of the mod.
I was messing with the S9 Apps Zip that's around here somewhere. I had lots of FC, but I was able to use the AR Emojis, and took pix as a raccoon eating a watermelon, which I've been assured isn't racist.

horizontal home / lock screen is available with build.prop tweak as far as I know:
home screen:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lock screen:
lockscreen.rot_override=true

I haven't messed with Root for a while, (since introduction of Google safety net/Android Pay/and bank app checking for it) is there a way to edit build.prop without rooting or custom recovery ?

No, you need root for editing the build.prop
But my note 8 is rooted and I still pass safety net with magisk 16.1

When I say AR Emojis... I was wrong. What works is new Stickers. I didn't realize there was a difference until I saw the actual AR Emojis in action. My bad.
I got the stickers to work by pulling the apks out of the zip and copying them with root explorer to system/priv-app If I remember correctly... wherever they usually go.

Settings rotate horizonal.
I just get oreo exynos ver for 3 day as far I try not have stereo neither with ar emoji to maybe next update if sales s9 more good.lol
For people who wants to try the similar Feature of AR emoji, download "meing" from app store.
It makes gifs, videos, and stickers based on your look.
So far I think it is the closest app we can find for AR emoji...Just for the fun part.

Gcam Playground/AR

I have Gcam version 6.2.030.244457635 which I appears to work properly but when I load ARcore APK's (testing latest version) the Playground/AR sticker function appears on the Gcam "More" option but when I click it it just says ARcore needs to be updated (which it is). I have tested and loaded different versions of older ARcore which seems to load ok but no AR functionality-This phone is capable I would have imagined???? I searched the forums and Google but just get a handful of non-value added info on this.

You have a module on magisk to run ARCore on natively non-compaitable devices. Give that a try and see if that helps.

Which Gcam apk do you use? What is the developer's name and what is the apk name, and for which phone was it developed?
Thanks.
Arnova8G2 is the author-Gcam 6.2.030.244457635 apk from APK mirror website. (Google finds it quick) It was a shot in the dark that I tried this particular version from all the others that didn't either have complete Gcam features or just plain did not work. I am not sure which device he intended this version for, all I know is that it works on my Red Magic 3 and is better than the stock camera app in my opinion.

Does your copy have support for 12mpx for rear camera? This Sony sensor is kinda trash in dark scenes at 48mpx - it was designed with 12mpx mode in mind to combine light from 4 pixels into one for collecting 4 times more light.
Yeah 4:3 12mpx is what it was set at initially when I first opened the gcam app- works great!
Is Night Sight working as for me the shutter is greyed out.
And there is no option for 12 Megapixel.
Night sight does not capture picture it's like the appatture button does not work!

Weird, mine (and I tried several) goes 48mpx, 7.7mpx.... 12mpx is missing.
This is odd, I wish $hit would just work without jumping thru a 1000 hoops

Has anyone figured out how to add more options to the main settings menu in v8.1 (or higher) at all? E.g. in the... focus, flash, google awb, timer and ratio menu. I'm trying to add an option to turn hdr on/off but cannot find a place to make this setting.

I seem to be on the same version as you Hesham-Abbas, but that option just isn't there. Maybe you have changed a setting in the 'developer settings' section?
when i use gcam i see camera lag, is there any way to fix it?
I tried the BGS version, I applied some logs as well, but there are still issues.
Anyone have a bugs free version or advice?
By bugs I mean, when going to the macro camera, app crashes and I need to uninstall and reinstall in order to work again. No way of choosing diff lenses for video, it's just dark.
Device not rooted btw.
Thank you,
The version shown in the screenshots in my last post works just fine for pretty much everything including the macro camera using chequebo1's config xml. Just disable the missing camera module option as it crashes if you try to select that one by mistake, you can remove the depth sensor camera too if not wanted, for reference they are camera modules 0.9 and 1.2 under settings>modules.

I am sticked between buying the regular note 10 and note 10s because of the chipset.
Snapdragon usually gets more custom support than MTK

This is everything related to HDR in the developer settings..
But, I think this is device/Chipset related..
I have Redmi Note 8 and my sister has Redmi Note 10. Both have Snapdragon..
I should have mentioned that earlier, SORRY..
Ok no problem, thanks anyway. Will check the settings you have posted just in case.

Question Is the Camera hardcoded to only work with Google Photos?

Hey all,
So I've decided I want to use a different gallery app instead of the Google Photos.
However, after disabling Photos and expecting to get the choice of how to open it from the camera app, it specifically tells me to install Google Photos.
Am I correct to assume it's a hardcoded link?
If so. Is anybody aware of a way around this?
Thing is, I do like the Camera, just not Google Photos..
Try
Gcam mod
It is Google Camera app modded to enable additional features
It has option to use third party gallery apps, although I haven't used that setting.
Try 8.6.xx versions
For me 8.7.xx versions dont work on P7
Yes, camera is HARD CODED to only load that crappy gallery that uploads all your data to gooble.
If you were running a google-free OS, I'd suggest using https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider/releases
Well, that's something...
How stable are those gcam mods?
I mean, I'll give it a go, but it looks like it's supporting up to android 11.
edit:
So I installed a gcam mod, but I can't seem to configure the gallery app to use with it.
Could you point me in the right direction @utk_spartan ?

Android 11 is the minimum version supported not the max.
I can't comment on stability, I don't use Camera much.
See the attached screenshots for enabling 3rd party gallery support in Settings.
Also for versions 8.6.x set interface to P6pro
Wel, it's still asking Google Photos for me, exactly what version are you on?

Strange how I have no issues disabling Google Photo, and then are able to use the camera in any 3rd party gallery-app downloaded from the store.
F-Stop and Piktures works without issues on my Panther.
"Hard coded" as you put it might mean something different for you than others I guess.

That's not what OP is talking about. When you take a picture with the camera, you see the little circular preview? If you tap that, it will load the picture in gooble photos. Not some other application, JUST that one. That connection is hardcoded. The only ways to break it is to either hack the camera application, or create a request forwarder that pretends to be gooble photos.

That was what I assumed he was talking about.
The 'circle' works fine here without Google Photo, but if one want to click the 'Google Photo'-button up top to the left, that doesn't work (since its for.. Google Photo).
Meaning preview should work regardless of device (I'm on Pixel 7, just for clarity).
GCam have however enabled this in the settings, so with GCam downloaded and installed - even the Google Photo-button can be swapped out.
It's funny, it does only work (the mod) when Google Photos is installed.
So that's sub-optimal...
But not the original one @dmbardal , I suspect you're using a mod too. If not, can you show where you set this?
