[MODULE] Huawei P20 Camera for Kirin(659)-Devices

[Darkest-Dark]

There won't be a new Version for Oreo with vendor files because of change to pie... A new Module for pie is in Progress...!

What is it?

It's a port of the Huawei P20 pro Camera, which should work on all Kirin-Devices.
With Magisk these arrives systemless.
It's tested on Honor 9 lite (Kirin659)

Why do i need that?

Because the Quality is much better than the Stock Camera. Test it yourself.

Whats Working

- Aperture
- Portrait
- Photo
- Video
- Pro Mode
- Night Shot
- Light Painting
- HDR
- Panorama
- Time-lapse
- Good food
- Document scan
- Filter
- Watermark
- QR-Code-Scanner (v1.3+; Photomode the Button in the upper left corner)

What's not working... (tell me if you find more)

- Slow-Mo (needs stock gallery; only works on stock rom)
- Switching from Camera to Video Mode the Camera closes about a second and reopen at once.
- Devices running <Oreo, cameraserver crashes.

I don't use it, so can you provide logcat?

If for some reason I have to unistall the module and/or Magisk will I have back the stock camera or I should reflash the ROM?

Thanks

Magisk override the stock camera.
It install some libs too, if the user isn't on stock rom.
The easiest way back would be a dirty flash.

When I open Magisk manager and I click on + under the Module menu and I choose your module it open the zip instead of installing it.

Should I install it through recovery?

Sounds like the stock browser behaviour. Long-press the zip and select "Open".

Long-press the zip and select "Open".

It works, thanks

Just tried this on my Honor 8 and it caused systemUI to not load on a restart. Had to force a reboot and uninstall the module to get back navigation buttons.

The libs are for Oreo...
You could try to add the HwCamera2 folder alone to /system/priv-app/ without module and see.
That should work. Maybe the app didn't start, but you can see missing dependies in logcat.

i'd like to see logcat too, may i can improve something for other kirin devices.

This Module works only if you have Oreo as ROM?

The libs for Porting a from Oreo (P20pro as source) .
It should work on other Versions too, but because the "newer libs" a debuging is needed for compatibility.

The only way is that someone test and provide a logcat.

I try to install it on P10lite with Nougat, now I have no camera und also the command to go back or home.
It doesn't show also the connection to the net, but I'm able to do a phonecall, but now I'm stuck on the phone menu.

I try to produce a logcat with these command:

adb logcat -v long > p20camera.txt

I attach it

What should I reflash to restore my P10lite, System or Boot image?

Doing a reflash through Hisuite, will lock my bootloader again.

After many reboot Magisk manager was not crashing after opening and I could uninstall the module.

Now the phone is working again and the camera is again working on the phone.

thats an magisk error. simple clear repo cache...

so far as i have seen in the log the problem are missing arguments in cameraserver/the lib of it.
i will think about adding the server with libs to the modul too.

btw the slowmo don't works because it has dependies with stock gallery... so far...

thx for logcat, that helps much.

Hi, does 3d portrait lighting works?

Hi, does 3d portrait lighting works?

when your device has all hardware dependies, it should. it is original camera from p20. nobody tested till now, cause missing hardware. libs are not included and had to be in your system.
The camera automatic shows the mods which could work.

logcat is here.
