Interesting. Did you figure it out why it's not working ?

no, I didn't dig into it. Portrait mode on gcam are taking picture, but there's no difference from picture taken with ''camera'' mode. no improved depth effect at all.

edit : Ive done some test, looks like its working only on people.... in fact I was using portrait mode for objects, its gives a better focus when its time to sell stuff online

On OP6 and OP6t it will NEVER work on objects. It is an algorithmically created fake bokeh added around the subject, which again is identified algorithmically. As all objects are objects an algorithm cannot know that a thing is your subject and distinguish it from other things
It works on pixels because they use multiple pixel focusing (or whatever the name) which is a different sensor tech not present on the OP (they have two cams for that).


But if you want "portrait mode" on objects open your GCam with the "take video" shortcut and you'll see that instead of the "portrait" mode you have "lens blur"... That works great on objects as the depth is intended with one single sensor that moves, not two sensors or multiple points on a single sensor like in the recent pixel...

Been having problems with this recently and haven't found any solutions/answers anywhere for it. Problem persists on all versions I install. Running latest CRdroid ROM, rooted, and have the lib fix module.

Back camera seems to be completely broken. Night view doesn't even show anything in the viewfinder. The standard camera just saves plain green blank pictures with HDR off. HDR on "locks" the shutter button in so it can't be used anymore, and HDR enhanced stutters the app. Front camera same deal with the HDR, but I can take non-HDR photos and selfie portrait mode works just fine. Any idea what may have caused this and a fix? It literally just happened out of nowhere when I was trying to take some photos at a concert and I haven't been able to fix. I even completely wiped and reinstalled everything on my phone.

(Nearly the) Same here on my OnePlus 5. Thought my phone is broken :D

Front camera works. Back camera doesn't take any pictures with HDR/HDR+. With HDR disables it does take "pictues" but they are all green. Not a green tint, but all green. Like opening paint, take the fill tool, choose green and click once to fill the whole image.

No change with or without the library fix.

I think with an older build of LineageOS 16.0 it worked, but I'm not sure anymore...

Tried with or without libraries fix, tried MGC_v.5.3.015_Namok_Urnyx05-v1.0.apk, MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v4.0.apk and MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v3.9a.apk. Imported the 1.3, 1.4 and 5.3 XMLs. And gave up ^^

I thought this camera mod will work on all OnePlus 5/5T ROMs? :eek:

So there's no way to get it working?:confused:

I tried it before on OOS, was really blown away by the photo quality in low light conditions.

I use lineageOS 16 and it is working for me...

I'm using this app:
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v4.0.apk (latest 6.1 from Urnyx)

This settings:
Urnyx05-settings-v1.4.xml
(latest from Urnyx)

And this Magisk module:
Oneplus 5T Camera Libraries v3.0

Also I use buffer fix from app.

Hope this helps

I don't know why, but it seems there is no actual high dynamic range processing. The so called "overexposure" problem is not that, it's just normal dynamic range photos instead of hdr.

Xml v.1.4 is good.
The slider on the bottom left is manual focus. Just select the distance you want and then tap on the screen to apply changes.

    Would be great if this fix would be updated for Android 14.
    Yes, I've already updated the zip and a test version is available. Just waiting on final checks and once everything checks out, I'll update this thread as well. :)

    Google Camera Mod for OnePlus 5 (cheeseburger) and 5T (dumpling)

    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 DotFix, which contains a modified camera HAL compatible with the latest releases) or the pictures that you click will come out with pink/purple/green tint on them, or will have a dotted pattern on them, or the 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 specific version of the mod which works fine (with a few issues/restrictions, of course). All the downloads for rooted as well as non-rooted users are in the next post in the thread (post # 2).
    2. Known Bugs and Workarounds
    [Unrooted Only] Dotted Pattern Overlay
    • Issue - A dotted pattern overlay is visible in the HDR+ pictures (when completely zoomed in)
    • Resolution - You have to root, install DotFix as well as the recommended version for rooted users from point 3
    [Unrooted Only] Front Camera HDR+/Portrait Mode Non Operational/Captures Distorted Pink/Purple/Green Lines
    • Issue - Front camera captures distorted pink/purple/green lines while using HDR+ or Portrait Mode
    • Resolution - You have to root, install DotFix as well as the recommended version for rooted users from point 3
    [Rooted Only] HDR+ Front Camera Pictures Restricted to 4.0 Megapixels
    • Issue - HDR+ pictures that are clicked with the front camera are restricted to 4.0 megapixels, even though the maximum resolution of 15.9 megapixels is selected for the front camera under settings
    • Resolution - None available yet; details of why this is the case are mentioned in this post
    [Both] Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) Non Operational
    • Issue - Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) doesn't work
    • Resolution - None available yet
    [Both] DotFix Magisk Module Incompatible with Audio Mods
    • Issue - Some audio mods interfere with the DotFix Magisk module due to which they don't work as intended
    • Resolution - Uninstall the audio mods or try setting SELinux to permissive using SELinux Switch from this post of mine.

    3. Important Notes and Links
    a. Important Notes
    • Everytime you change a settings, make sure you force-close and swipe it away from recents, and then restart the app so that the new settings are applied correctly. A sure shot way to make sure the settings have applied is to restart your phone.

    I'm working on GCam 6.2 based on BSG, too. But, at the moment, it's still pretty buggy and unstable. So, I'm trying to fix most of the bugs.

    I realized this was never posted in this thread, so for those of you who might be wondering why Arnova8G2 has been missing in action for sometime now, it's because he met with a motorcycle accident and he's in the hospital, where smartphones and other portable electronic devices are forbidden. The accident was a major one and he's started to use the wheelchair now and hopefully with rehabilitation/physiotherapy, he'll be able to walk soon. Let's keep him in our thoughts and pray for his speedy recovery.
