Picked up a Moto X Play for family in Canada.
The Camera interface isn't the most intuitive, was hoping to use Google Camera but every app I seem to use seems to crash when switching from camera to camcorder mode, currently on the March security update for Marshmallow.
Does anyone else have this issue or can recommend a decent camera app as an alternative?
Try Open Camera or Manual Camera.
Yeah open camera is a nice one.The stock camera app is working normal on mine.Try to clean cache of the stock camera app.
Opencamera crashes.
Google Camera 2.7 is actually working, so the problem is with version 3.1 and later... Guess that's why they pulled it from the Play Store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-7-008-release/
When switching from camera to video camcorder mode, it says 'Can't connect to camera' and crashes the app
Running version 5.1 and its working.Stock mm 6..0.1.
I should try a factory reset if i was you.

Google Camera only goes up to 3.2 and Open Camera 1.28.1

Sorry i was mistaken with motorola stock camera app. Maybe google camera is crashing because it cant find a gyroscope sensor which is needed for the 360 pictures.
Looking for a camera app as well; stock Motorola camera is too slow on launch in taking pictures or I itializing video. I've tried clearing data and cache. Google Camera works besides camcorder mode.
I used Open Camera. After installation, the first time I have it hung. Resetting and poked in the settings. In the "interface settings" disabled "show slope" and "show the direction of the compass." As long as such no longer hangs.
Slow motion is working in 480p SD.
Check this out.
flash using TWRP.

Are u already test it ?
Sent from my Redmi 4X using XDA Labs

Did anyone get the same problem?

And where can I get this version? Thanks for the help tho
check out the link:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-playground-ar-stickers-port-arcore-devices/
install ARCore and Playground,
then install google camera: Version 5.1.018.177624777 (via apkmirror)
you'll find AR stickers above setting.........HAVE FUN
also I got 171 update today : OEM enable unlock in developer mode can be enabled, why did you guys have to pay for that?
anything else you want me to check/test in 171, let me know
Hey. Installed Arccore from the play store, playground APK and also the Google camera version 5.1.018.177624777 on my Mate 20 Pro. Pictures and normal video works fine but when in AR stickers I can take photos but the video is garbled and unusable. Any ideas?

Yes, video is bad. As of now screen recording is the only option.
Ah ok, thanks for replying and confirming it's not just me!
I have installed as said but can't get the AR stickers to work. Click on it and it just goes back to camera screen.
Mate 20 pro EU version. Installed as instructed and working. Can't go into settings or do video. But I can use screen recorder to video what I see (hold power and vol up).
Looking out for emui 9.1 hopefully released tomorrow so will let you know if it still works after that update.

What do you mean with "why did you guys have to pay for that?"
So, you just switch on "OEM Enable Unlock" in developer setting and the Bootloader unlock by it self? LOL :laugh:
Hey guys,
Anyone know why my video recording feature isn't working?
Can take photos fine. Just any of the camera recording stuff just says failed.
Thanks

You have to factory wipe, not sign in to anything when you're first setting up your phone, no Fingerprint, no Google, nothing and when you make it to the home screen, then you can sign in and everything will work as intended. Or use Google camera. Just easier to wipe though.

After skipping all the setup like this, how do you then restore all your apps, settings, etc from another device like you can during setup?
Actually this the problem with Google app... Just uninstall update of Google app to factory version... Check your video recording... If it works then install previous version of google app.. 2 or 3 version before is a good one i think. Recheck your video recording after.

Nope it's actually caused by the voice search function. Just disable voice match setting and video recording works again.
If you want to keep voice recognition on, you can also just install a 3rd party app like open camera.
Same issue, installed OpenCamera and everything works fine. Stock camera app has a big red capture button that when pressed causes a video recording error.

Do you retain features like slo-mo video, portrait mode, etc with OpenCamera (or any 3rd party camera)?
All features in OpenCamera work as far as I can tell.

I just tested OpenCamera, and you lose a lot of functionality by using it instead of the stock camera. To name a few things you lose:
1. You lose the wide angle camera
2. You lose the 48mp option on standard camera
3. You lose slo-mo video
4. You lose portrait photo mode
I tried installing the Pixelmaster apk from Open APK and the install fails. My guess is that is has something to do with the microphone. Still troubleshooting..
install the original ROM?

Should work with every Razer Phone 2
Installation:
Open Magisk Manager and head to the Modules page
Click on the plus(+) and select the file you want to install
To install more than one file, after one module has installed go back and redo the same process with the other file you downloaded
The Viewfinder Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
It will replace your tuned camera file with the file that razer used in android OREO as that one has no issues with the viewfinderIssues: None that i know of so far, if you notice anything you can mention it in the comments but it is likely i cannot fix it
The EIS Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) helps your videos look more stable, by default this is only available at 30fps and only in some apps. However, with this fix EIS will be enabled in any app that asks for it and it will work at 1080p 60fps.Make sure to not use the stock camera app with this but instead a gcam with 60fps support for this phone (like BSGs)Issues: It will break 4k 60fps recording, it just won't work. Also it will break 1080p 60fps recording on the front camera.
And finally, yes of course these modules work together
Also if you need anything else or want to join the Razer Phone community join our group on Telegram!
thanks!
Why is this needed? Can you provide any context? Are these features broken on stock, or just in Gcam?

on stock the camera viewfinder is blurry and colours smudge, making 3rd party apps like Instagram very bad with recording videos and not being able to see well on on what you're taking a picture of.
This issue came around with the pie update for razer phone 2 so I managed to fix the viewfinder issue by using the razer libs from android OREO.
This is for every app, not just gcam.
The EIS fix allows for video stabilization at 1080p 60fps.

I have made a couple comparison videos and here they are: (read the description of each as it describes what to look for if it is not immediately visible)
1. Stock Camera Libs through the gcam viewfinder
2. My module through the gcam viewfinder
3. Stock Camera libs recording a video of snapchat (it just records the viewfinder)
4. My module recording the same video in snapchat
Even with the low youtube quality as of now (still processing probably) the changes are noticeable

Using both of these and my gcam is much better. Viewfinder no longer has a ghosting effect, colors are better, and stabilization works.

it seems more of like an issue with your phone or something as I've not heard of anybody having problems with the viewfinder fix.
about the 7.4 gcam, try BSGs latest version from celsoazevado, it should be labelled test
also you said the camera works in social medias, is that with or without the viewfinder fix
