[Module] Camera2API enabler

Since Google Camera with HDR+ was ported already, it requires that camera2api to be enabled.
This is done by editing build.prop to add or enable "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
Note:
This mod only adds camera2api support in the build.prop systemlessly. This does not guarantee modded google camera hdr+ will work on your device.
Axon 7 Users:
Here's a working GCAM that works on my device. However, I don't see any difference with my stock cam hdr. I just use this for slowmo, panorama, photosphere and lens blur effects.
MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Mid_v.3.6_AllinOne_Full_Manual.apk
Requirements:
Android 5.0 & up
Magisk v15
~2014+ Snapdragon SoCs
Instruction:
Add the zip in Magisk Manager -> Modules and reboot.
Or you could also flash it in your custom recovery, TWRP etc.
How to check if it is running:
1. Open terminal and issue command "getprop | grep camera".
If it's running, you should be able to find a line "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1". Check attached screenshot for example.
Or
2. Install Camera2 Probe from playstore to check your device's camera capabilities.
UPDATES:
9-15-17:
-added v1400 template
-added camera2api with slowmo fix for Axon 7 users. (I can't guarantee slowmo on other models will work since I used my device's media_profiles.xml file.)
01-25-18
-updated to v1500 template for C2API - Download this file if you only want the HAL3 enabled.
-updated to v1500 template for C2API+slowmo+ (credits to @j1505243)

I have a G5 which supports it and if I try the command above it does not show the "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled" property. So can we assume that property is specifically to indicate the magisk module is working?
I used this app to check if it was supported already Camea 2 Probe on the play store.

ok how to disable this and revert back to stock ?

Not working on lenovo zuk z2..... Snapdragon 820

I think the OP should mention that this module is for SD820+ .

Thanks for the effort but still nothing for XZ

I don't use it, so can you provide logcat?

If for some reason I have to unistall the module and/or Magisk will I have back the stock camera or I should reflash the ROM?
Thanks

Magisk override the stock camera.
It install some libs too, if the user isn't on stock rom.
The easiest way back would be a dirty flash.

When I open Magisk manager and I click on + under the Module menu and I choose your module it open the zip instead of installing it.
Should I install it through recovery?

Sounds like the stock browser behaviour. Long-press the zip and select "Open".

Just tried this on my Honor 8 and it caused systemUI to not load on a restart. Had to force a reboot and uninstall the module to get back navigation buttons.

The libs are for Oreo...
You could try to add the HwCamera2 folder alone to /system/priv-app/ without module and see.
That should work. Maybe the app didn't start, but you can see missing dependies in logcat.
i'd like to see logcat too, may i can improve something for other kirin devices.

This Module works only if you have Oreo as ROM?

The libs for Porting a from Oreo (P20pro as source) .
It should work on other Versions too, but because the "newer libs" a debuging is needed for compatibility.
The only way is that someone test and provide a logcat.

I try to install it on P10lite with Nougat, now I have no camera und also the command to go back or home.
It doesn't show also the connection to the net, but I'm able to do a phonecall, but now I'm stuck on the phone menu.
I try to produce a logcat with these command:
adb logcat -v long > p20camera.txt
I attach it

What should I reflash to restore my P10lite, System or Boot image?
Doing a reflash through Hisuite, will lock my bootloader again.
After many reboot Magisk manager was not crashing after opening and I could uninstall the module.
Now the phone is working again and the camera is again working on the phone.

thats an magisk error. simple clear repo cache...
so far as i have seen in the log the problem are missing arguments in cameraserver/the lib of it.
i will think about adding the server with libs to the modul too.
btw the slowmo don't works because it has dependies with stock gallery... so far...
thx for logcat, that helps much.

Hi, does 3d portrait lighting works?

when your device has all hardware dependies, it should. it is original camera from p20. nobody tested till now, cause missing hardware. libs are not included and had to be in your system.
The camera automatic shows the mods which could work.

Google cam is worse than stock cam on latest update!

In my opinion, the google cam is not so good compared to the stock cam. Today i just successfully install gcam using the fastboot command non-root method, i did expect a lot that gcam could significantly improve the overall quality. But tbh, it fails, even on the hdr test, the stock cam app beats it absolutely. Anyone got the same results? Share with me your thought
Sorry for bad English!

Ok you may have managed installing gcam without root but w/o root you surely never can enable cam2api.
And i doubt w/o cam2api gcam can perform well.

Camera magisk module?

I am on LineageOS 17.1 right now.
However LOS17.1 does not take pictures at full resolution.
However I've heard I can flash some Magisk modules to get a better cam with 48MP resolution.
Can someone link me the correct modules to flash so I have a better camera experience?

As I mentioned in your other post, you want v158 and the 48MP fix for Q
The files are flashed in Magisk.
If you have an ad blocker you will need to temporarily disable it to view and download the files. The site checks for ad blockers and hides the download section if one is active.

Is it possible to run google camera without google framework?

I am on a custom rom without gapp, but google camera can not be open. Is there any way to run it without google framework?

Maybe a stupid question: have you enabled Camera2 API?

i have used gcam without gapps but to be safe there are options like " fake store" to spoof Playstore and framework to applications
not all gcam mods work on all devices ...so try different ones .. furthermore on mi x6 there are old , new and MIUI camera libs ..some work for some while others work for others ..so try the different libs
