Nope, I decided not to apply them anymore because now there are xml files for settings

Sounds crazy but I was using π kernel in my op5 and that was the reason why I had the same issue. Changed to franco kernel and now gcam is working as always

Can you list what settings are the best in your option then? Please ?

So, custom kernels give problems with resampling method. I have stock kernel and everything perfectly works.

Flowah123 · Jan 10, 2019

Hi guys,
dunno if they will ever listen to us, but... Since they're asking us, here is it.
OnePlus is looking for feedbacks on the OxygenOS:
I would try (actually, I've already done it) to ask for a better implementation of the Camera2API to let properly work all third part camera apps.
It's very quick and there's no account needed, so super easy.
Give it a try.

Stock kernel
8.1 Android

Yep, I used affinity kernel (latest), flashed the stock kernel, problem solved (I can take pictures now)

Google Camera Mod for OnePlus 5/5T: Current Status Summary

1. Camera HAL Confusion

a. Camera HAL Basics

First, let's understand what a camera HAL is. A camera HAL is what allows a ROM to "talk to" the camera hardware; without it, the camera would be non-functional. Think of the camera HAL as the steering wheel and pedals of a car. The steering wheel/pedals allow for control of the internal components of the vehicle by providing an external interface for the driver (the ROM) to make use of the internal components.

At present, the source code of the camera HAL included in OxygenOS has not been released by OnePlus. Instead, OnePlus has compiled that source code and shipped it on the OnePlus 5/5T as a BLOB (Binary Large OBject). This has been a major setback for custom ROM developers because having access to the camera HAL source would make porting the stock OnePlus Camera to a custom ROM a much easier endeavour.

b. Camera HAL, Google Camera Mod and Root Requirements

The latest releases of the mod require you to be rooted (as you mandatorily need to install the camera lib fix, which contains a modified camera HAL compatible with the latest releases) or the pictures that you click will come out with pink/purple tint on them/camera might not work at all. So if you're rooted, then you're good to go. However, if you're unrooted (and prefer staying that way), then you can still use an older version of the mod (linked in point 4 of this post) which works fine (with a few minor issues, of course). The following sub-point (point c.) covers what you need to install if you're rooted for the mod to work fine (you can skip this entirely if you're unrooted).

c. Mandatory Installations (If Rooted)

To make sure that you don't face any issues while using the latest version of the mod, you need to install the camera lib fix that has been released by @Arnova8G2 and @defcomg a.k.a Savitar. This fix replaces the existing camera libraries with modified ones which fix the dot pattern overlay, front camera HDR as well as portrait mode while using the latest version of the mod. You can download this fix from the link below:

Magisk Module: OnePlus 5 Download Link (Download Mirror), OnePlus 5T Download Link (Download Mirror) - Both modules also available in Magisk Repo

Flashable Zip for Treble ROMs: OnePlus 5 Download Link (Download Mirror), OnePlus 5T Download Link (Download Mirror)

Additionally, there is one more zip that has been released by @defcomg a.k.a Savitar. It is the Pixel 2 colours zip. This zip enables Pixel 2 colours and fixes abf as well as previews. However, do note that this zip is purely optional and is not mandatorily needed for the latest version of the mod to work. Using this zip is your own choice and personal preference, and not using it will not break the latest version of the mod. You can download this zip from the link below:

Magisk Module: OnePlus 5/5T Download Link (Download Mirror) - Module also available in Magisk Repo

Flashable Zip for Treble ROMs: OnePlus 5/5T Download Link (Download Mirror)

More details and mirrors of the above are present here.

[Both] Camera Library Fix (Dot Fix) and/or Pixel 2 Colours Magisk Modules Don't Work with Ainur/Sauron Audio Mod

Issue - Ainur/Sauron audio mod interferes with the camera library fix (a.k.a. dot fix) and/or Pixel 2 colours Magisk Modules due to which they don't work as intended

Resolution - Use the latest beta version from their telegram group; also try setting SELinux to permissive using Magisk SELinux Manager

[Both] Viewfinder is laggy on all versions of the mod

Issue - While using any version of the Google Camera app, viewfinder seems laggy (especially in video recording mode)

Resolution - The lag is stock kernel related, switch to a custom kernel (recommended is RenderZenith for OxygenOS)
