Magisk Based GCAM Port, AR Sticker Support, Portrait Mode, HEVC Enabled

[63c]

I have created a Magisk based DIY GCAM port for our PH-1 Phones.

Prerequisites:
Stock Pie 9.0, works on any of the Oreo 8-8.1 builds as well
Magisk 17.1 or newer (Uses 17000 template)

What it does:

It replaces media_profiles_V1_0.xml in vendor/etc : this allows for hevc, slo-mo
It sets postfsdata magisk policy (gives camera_config permissions, and allows it to switch faster when in recents)

Sets the following lines in props:

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.camera.eis.enable=1
ro.vendor.sensors.dev_ori=true
persist.camera.is_type=5
persist.camera.is_mode=5

This is a free-for-all zip, meaning i dont care if you modify it, pass it off to other groups, help anybody else, etc..Do with it what you wish. I am not responsible for any of your headaches however....

Thanks:
@bsg - the originator
@Arnova8G2 - for being kind enough to port GCAM to better our lives
@invisiblek and the rest of the hood at discord - everything gets done there
@S4turno - hosting and being a good sport
@emowing - selinux fixes in magisk
@xterminater07 - sending logs, and doing some testing
@cstark27 - building a settings-less version of GCAM to make life easier, and good help (it's hard to find)
@ArtZ IMX258 color profile improvement and excellent GCAM mods

Instuctions on how to use the PH1_GCAM_MODULE:

Basically, All GCAM ports Mostly, Fully, Sporadically, Sorta, Sometimes, with Caveats, 100% of the time, 60% of the time, more or less...... work with the PH-1. We are lucky to have a phone that doesn't have the headaches of the OP3/5/T, MI5S, and others that need wacky fixes to make GCAM work properly to some degree (This doesn't mean we don't have our own first world problems)

1. Install the latest DIY GCAM Mod from the Post Above.

2. Click on the link in the OP "REPO FOR GCAM VERSIONS" or the link to TOLYAN009 (TINEUN) and pick whatever GCAM you want. it is updated almost daily with new versions, different devs, different features and mods.

2A. If you choose TOLYAN009 (TINEUN) @TheIronLefty aka GCAM JEEZY aka GCAM SUPERBOSS aka KING OF GCAM SETTINGS put together a very nice thread, here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...om-gcam-settings-using-tolyans-build-t3829476

Let me be honest, i like making things work, im not very skilled in the way of making things pretty, perfect, noise free, etc. He did a lot of legwork testing all sorts of settings to get here. They look pretty nice. Follow his OP for optimized settings (and he is always testing, he may come up with something better, so check back often)

3. Install the APK and go.

ARCore, ARStickers, TANGO, and other AR related things

ARCore is a pain, since our phone isnt "technically" supported, but works well otherwise. What is included in the DIY GCAM MOD v1 and the full camera zips is a older beta release, that uses calibration_cad files in order to set up the orientation, etc. So now they are using .textproto files located in /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile2_database, and they use the buildid from the buildprop to actively select the right textproto file. So anyways, if you want the latest ARCore, here is how.

1. Install this ARCore https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...se/arcore-1-4-180716096-android-apk-download/ its the latest at this time
2. Install this ARStickers https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ar/f/ARStickers_AllPack_ParseErrorFix.apk this is the latest.
3. Open GCAM and try to open AR Stickers (it will crash and FC, it needs to here, this is what it is supposed to do, its creating the device proto location, and the mata textproto isnt there, yet)
4. Using a file explore/adb/whatever browse to here /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile2_database and rename a .textproto of your choice, I am currently using device_profile_taimen_colon_9.textproto . Just change the device codename (in this case taimen, to mata). Feel free to try any one you want.
5. Now open GCAM again, and open AR Stickers, it should give you the 3 permission prompts.

Alternatively, now that we have permatwrp, there are twrp flashable zips that do the majority of the work above, see here.

As a bonus, here is the link to the latest Tango Measure app https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...surements-2-1-180728039-android-apk-download/

Good luck, and thanks to @starcms for method of doing this

I did try on edge browser. What browser should I use then?

Edit: also tried with dolphin browser. I can select a mirror, after that it says page not found.

Here is the selinux fix for you. GCam must be installed in /system/priv-app/

in post-fs-data... replace your setenforce 0 with.. I gave it all permissions but you can trim these down to only the necessary one if you want to test every single permission.

magiskpolicy --live "allow priv_app { camera_prop unlabeled } file { append create write relabelfrom link unlink ioctl getattr setattr read rename lock mounton quotaon audit_access open }"
magiskpolicy --live "allow priv_app { unlabeled qti_debugfs } dir { append create execute write relabelfrom link unlink ioctl getattr setattr read rename lock mounton quotaon rmdir audit_access remove_name add_name reparent execmod search open }"

Everything is moved there, I'll give this a whirl later. Good looks @emowing

download the magisk module (zip file) created by aer0zer0. Open up magisk manager, select modules, click floating +, browse to your downloaded zip, reboot. Make sure you don't have any other gcam by arnova installed. It will not work if you do.

Just figured it out! Thanks . Similar to exposed. Sounds working now with messenger on the microphone without any additional settings. Great work guys! However, with selinux off, are we at any major security risks?

Well sure, but one piece at a time

Also, you got root going, noice

are the download links working for anyone?

Because the the filename is: "GCAM with AR Stickers, version 3.zip"
the (,) in the filename messes with the URL.

If you click on one of the mirrors it'll give you a broken link like this:

http://qc4.androidfilehost.com/dl/s...0776376/GCAM+with+AR+Stickers,+version+3.zip?

If you delete the '%2C' in the link, the download will start.

corrected link:
http://qc4.androidfilehost.com/dl/s...20776376/GCAM+with+AR+Stickers+version+3.zip?

I've already posted code to not turn off selinux. Just wait for aer0zer0 to make a new package
