Thanks for this mod. Gcam works but front cam still unusable after adding build prop code that mentioned few pages before.
[MOD] Enable Camera2Api in Mi4C
- Thread starter slimdick
- Start date
Stock camera unable to use front cam. WhatsApp unable to use video call using front cam. I'm on latest LOS 14.1.
Careful how many exceptions you put in build.prop for HAL1, if there are more than 91 or so characters, the whole value gets ignored. That said, Messenger crashes for me when accessing camera even when in exceptions.
Thank you so much for responding. I have been waiting for this in a long time. Everyone was also having a problem with flipped camera when activating camera2 api without any fix and I had lost hope but I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread
Installed a bunch of versions from different devs of gcam port. Most of them are showing black screens and others are having green tint about 1/4 of the photo. Can't seem to find one that is working. I wanna have a working portrait mode and HDR+ even if its only on the back camera

Both shows black screen only. And also if I switch from photo to video and then photo again, it's stock on camera logo at the center. Stock camera and other camera apps seem to work well, except gcam port. BTW, thanks for taking the time answerkng my questions
Download camera2api probe and check if camera2api is working.Both shows black screen only. And also if I switch from photo to video and then photo again, it's stock on camera logo at the center.

I checked and it says camera2 api has full functionality. I guess Gcam is really not for me.
I use Facebook messenger, Face Unlock and Skype, so I added the following line at the end of /system/build.prop:
Code:
camera.hal1.packagelist=com.android.facelock,com.facebook.orca,com.skype.raiderqt
Which ROM though? Messenger and Hangouts wouldn't work for me despite the above.
i use the official LineageOS 14.1. My "camera.hal1.packagelist=" setting is only for Facebook messenger, Face Unlock and Skype. You need to add package names for Messenger and Hangouts yourself. The line cannot exceed 127 chars as I mentioned.
I cannot find a way to enable Camera2 Api in LineageOS 15.1 on Mi4C. This mod is no exception.
Any suggestions?
