[GUIDE][NON-ROOT] 2 ways to use the Photochrome filter again!

[jamal2367]

Hey,
I experimented a bit and found 2 ways to reuse the Photochrome filter.

[ROOT]

1. Download the Magisk Module from the Attachment.
2. Install the Module using Magisk Manager.
3. Reboot.
4. Open Phone App and type *#808#
5. Go to the Camera tab and click to "fourth back camera preview".
6. Now you can screenshot objects.

Screens:

[NON-ROOT]

1. Download this Package: Download
2. Open the zip and install the "GoogleCamera.apk"
3. Copy the "GCam" folder on the internal memory.
4. Open GCam and Restore the "Urnyx 7.3 Hooolm v8 (OP8 Pro).xml" Profile.
5. Now you can click on the "C" logo and can use the Photochrome filter again.

Does the non-root variant work without Magisk? Because you can't change the cameras if you don't use the Aux Magisk Module that patches SELinux.

Works without Module

The AUX module is only needed for some GCam features like slow motion etc.
But for the Photochrome filter the module is not needed.

Interesting. The other cams only work with the Aux module on the 7 series. Good to know

Followed the steps for non-root. Anytime I try to use a camera other than the main it kills the app and I have to clear data and start over again to make it turn on.

It's about the filter there.
If you want to use everything else, you need the AUX module, but you need root.

That's the thing, the color filter button shuts it down just the same

I might be dumb, so please bear with me. I tried *#808# without the module and the same screen popped up. Is there something I'm missing that this module does that I don't see?

 

[jamal2367]

Deinstall all FactoryMode updates in Settings and install the Module then you can access *#808#

I meant I can already access it, sorry for the misunderstanding. I get the camera tab and can select the stuff an all, without installing the module, so wanted to know if I missed something. Sorry.

 

[jamal2367]

I guess I misunderstood.
So all is well

Warning!!!
I install the FactoryMode module
Don't play with the fingerprint sensor tests or you will lose it. And without your own backup of the persist.img, there is nothing you can do to recover it. Fortunately I had my backup and I was able to recover the sensor. @jamal2367, can you take a look?

Hello, I'm going to receive my OnePlus 8 Pro this week (sadly, i've seen it's the in2020 version), if I flash OOS instead of HOS, is this guide needed or will it works natively on OOS ?

 

[yot2703]

Does is work on OP8?
