FP3: Pixel camera app / Google Camera Port

Since the Android 13 update (at least that’s when I noticed it) making video’s with 60fps does not work anymore. As soon as I choose the option in Nikita 8.2 the screen looks like it’s starting the recording every second or so. After that the app won’t start anymore and I have to remove all data of the app to get it working again.

Strangely, even the stock camera app won’t record at 120fps anymore. It has the same restart symptom and need to delete all data of the app to get it working again.

I experience the same issues after my upgrade to DivestOS 20.0 (so android 13 as well) on my FP3+.
Occasional crashes, freezes, not capturing a photo, and complete crash needing reinstallation after enabling 60 fps happen to me as well.
Using Nikita 8.2 as well (exact version: 8.2.300.368894857.16). I’ll try other versions when I have time.

The lets say “official” page to download all Gcam Ports is this one

Also the version 6.2 is quite outdated, the current versions are rather 8. something.

My Nikita 8.2.300 crashes when set to slow motion 1/8, but works on 1/4. However, no reinstalls or data clearing needed.

I have the same problem, using NGCam_8.2.300-v1.8. Sometimes when starting the app, the phone completely freezes. Can’t reboot. Only after removing the battery.
Does anyone know a stable version?

Last time this happened to me, waiting two minutes for the phone to respond again did the trick.
I didn’t test other versions, I might at some point.

The visitor must have come to visit me too a few weeks ago!

Very nice pictures! Were these made with the Nikita GCam 8.2 or did you update by now?

I’ve been using the same GCam port since 2020 and I feel like it’s time to update to an improved version. :sweat_smile: Tried AGC 9.2 but I’m not unequivocally happy about it, it keeps crashing on me. Maybe onfiguration is not right.

Could anyone recommend The. Perfect. GCam Port (and configuration) for a good old FP3 with a basic (12 MP) camera?

Indeed, I haven’t changed. And I assume there won’t be any updates on the Nikita version anymore. :thinking:

Other than that, I’ve been too lazy to really try around. For the main (rear) camera I am still fine with Nikita. But not for the selfie camera. I have an FP3+ with a 16 MP selfie camera, but Nikita produces just 4 MP selfie photos for whatever reason – Open Camera does so as well though.

I am also with Nikita 1.7, based on gcam 8.2.300. Still working fine.

I’m on a FP3+ with LOS 22.2 and MicroG and the Gcam (MGC_9.3.160_V34_snap.apk) from BSG works.
