Hi @phhusson,

Firstly thanks for your work on treble (running v9 su and gapps on my p10 plus)

Created the folder and placed the apk as advised (folder permissions set to 755, apk to 644) rebooted but can't launch the app.

logcat attached

Mate, tried the app (installed in /system/priv-app/HwCamera) but it crash. So I try to find the problem and i got that libHwPostCamera_jni.so in /vendor/lib64 is missing. So i extracted the missing file in stock emui rom and the camera is working now.

Btw, I used p10 plus. I attached the missing file.
If someone want to try, just copy to /vendor/lib64 and set to 644 permission

Also thank you mate. Your awesome :good:

You gotta free space up. I deleted the apps that Google provides, Dialer, Contacts, Chrome and then installed the APK, and those I deleted I downloaded them from Play Store. Did everything with Mixplorer.

    You guys gotta to this:

    1. Download the 3 files in this MEGA folder: https://mega.nz/#F!clBAWTiL!LJXwSqkQb7lfys_tl75qOA

    2. Copy the 2 libs to /vendor/lib64

    3. Make a folder on /system/priv-app that's called HwCamera2

    4. Copy the HwCamera2.apk to that folder.

    5. Restart the phone and enjoy the stock camera.

    Yup, everything works fine except the photo opens directly from camera app, what I do to see the photo and not have to get to my gallery app is this:

    1. Take photo
    2. Try to open photo from viewfinder
    3. This will give you a black screen, you just double tap task button (it will pop up the latest app you open) and double tap it again and it will ask with which app do you wanna open the photo
    4. Next time you take a photo and try to open it in viewfinder just double tap task button, double tap again and it will open on your app of choice.

    Yeah it's a little bit annoying but it's better than to close the camera, get to the gallery app, open the photo, get back to camera. Like I do it, when you open the photo from the viewfinder if you just press back it'll be back to camera, so that's nice-

    Took a bit of debugging (and the viewfinder is glitchy) but I managed to get this running on the LineageOS 15.1 Treble firmware.

    For whatever the reason, LineageOS thinks the APK file is corrupt and won't run it ("inconsistent information" is what it had to say when it tried reading classes.dex; 'unzip' on the device had the same thing to say. Repacking it before installation seemed to work, though there are probably things broken as a result. Oh well.)

    Needs android.hidl.base@1.0.so from an EMUI firmware (attached), put it into /vendor/lib64 alongside the libHwPostCamera_jni.so from post #4.

    Edit: It's not the viewfinder that's glitchy. There are apparently some graphics glitches with Lineage on the Mate 9, or so it seems - lots of things are showing bad clipping and incomplete animations, not just the viewfinder.
