This will make video recording works for Halium 7.1 based port, as otherwise a set of custom patches on the Android side (which isn't easy to forward-port) is required.</p>
<h2>How can you test this out?</h2>
<p dir="auto">If you're interested in testing this out, please follow these instructions:</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Halium side preparation</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Due to breaking API change in droidmedia, you'll need to make sure you have a recently-built Halium image. If you build your own Android image, make sure your Halium tree is recently synced as of 8 June 2020. Otherwise, please make sure you have the latest image built on or after that date.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Install GStreamer-droid</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Make sure you're running the latest <code>devel</code> or <code>edge</code> channel image. If you're interested in testing video recording too, please make sure that audio for your port works correctly.</li>
<li>Run <code>sudo umount /lib/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules</code>. This prevents failure in the following step.</li>
<li>Run <code>sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_gst-droid</code> to add the repository containing the packages. UBports-qa will upgrade the already installed packages to the latest version and install the new packages.
<ul>
<li>If you encountered <code>unable to make backup link of '&lt;a path&gt;' before installing new version: Invalid cross-device link</code> error, unmount it by running <code>sudo umount &lt;path without the prepending dot&gt;</code> it and try again.</li>
<li>The error <code>ERROR:ubports-qa:Failed to remount root filesystem read-only.</code> is normal and expected. Proceed to the next step.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Reboot your phone to make sure everything is in place.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Install updated camera-app</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">You'll also need the updated camera-app. To install, grab the correct binary for <a href="https://gitlab.com/peat-psuwit/camera-app/-/jobs/887749674/artifacts/raw/build/arm-linux-gnueabihf/app/com.ubuntu.camera_3.1.3+gstdroid4_armhf.click" rel="nofollow ugc">armhf</a> or <a href="https://gitlab.com/peat-psuwit/camera-app/-/jobs/887749673/artifacts/raw/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/com.ubuntu.camera_3.1.3+gstdroid4_arm64.click" rel="nofollow ugc">arm64</a>, then install with <code>pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted &lt;file name&gt;</code>. <strong>UPDATED</strong> to version 3.1.3.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you're interested in the changes I've made, take a look <a href="https://gitlab.com/peat-psuwit/camera-app/tree/gst-droid" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>
<h2>How to debug</h2>
<p dir="auto">If things don't go as it should, you can add additional debug information by running the camera-app from the command line.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">(cd /opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.camera/current &amp;&amp; GST_DEBUG=droidcamsrc:4 ./camera-app --desktop_file_hint=com.ubuntu.camera_camera)
</code></pre>
<h2>About the upgrading</h2>
<p dir="auto">Please note that by installing packages via <code>ubports-qa</code> or <code>apt</code>, you should <strong>not</strong> install system updates via the system settings app anymore (you'll overwrite this change otherwise). Instead, you'll need to use <code>sudo apt update</code> and <code>sudo apt upgrade</code> like on the desktop. This is temporary, and won't be required after this is merged into the proper xenial branch.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, even though this procedure works on devices on the stable channel, note that following this procedure essentially upgrades the entire device to devel channel. Please test responsibly and don't use it on your daily driver. This will be merged to the xenial branch soon and testing should be easier when that happens.</p>

<p dir="auto">This seems to be unnecessary as of OTA-13.<br />
I have installed this on my OnePlus3 and it seems to be working fine for photos.<br />
Only that the orientation of the photo seems to be always stuck in landscape instead of how the picture was actually taken is a bit annoying.<br />
Trying to record a video crashes the app, but that was expected according to the OnePlus3 device page.</p>

<p dir="auto">That is also what happens without <code>gst-droid</code>.</p>

I can't speak for all of them, but I do have two OnePlus 3T's, and without <code>gst-droid</code> the camera does not work at all. Not for pictures and not for videos.</p>
<p dir="auto">We'd be shipping a "Stable" release with a completely broken basic functionality - the ability to take pictures - without adding the <code>gst-droid</code> branch to at least the <strong>op3t</strong> images.</p>

After switching to it and re-installing <code>xenial_-_gst-droid</code> with <code>ubports-qa</code>, I found that the camera wasn't working, even though I was still using the <code>3.1.3+gstdroid</code> Camera app. It just showed the blue spinner infinitely like what happens without using <code>gst-droid</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">After reverting to the <strong>Development</strong> channel and installing <code>xenial_-_gst-droid</code> again, I was able to take pictures like before.</p>
<p dir="auto">The <strong>RC</strong> channel only seems to be a couple of days behind on <strong>Development</strong>. Why isn't it possible to use this branch on <strong>RC</strong>?</p>
<p dir="auto">I also read that <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/flohack" aria-label="Profile: Flohack">@<bdi>Flohack</bdi></a> said elsewhere that <code>gst-droid</code> will not be merged in OTA-13, which would be the first stable image for the OnePlus 3(T). If <code>gst-droid</code> doesn't work on <strong>RC</strong> and then probably also not on <strong>Stable</strong>, does that mean I have to keep using the <strong>Development</strong> channel for the next months?</p>
<p dir="auto">Like I posted a couple of weeks ago: why don't we merge this branch at least for the devices that have zero working camera support without <code>gst-droid</code>? The OnePlus 3T can't even take pictures on the stock <strong>RC</strong>, <strong>Development</strong> and <strong>edge</strong> images, which is quite limiting.</p>
<p dir="auto">When I look at <code>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubports.list</code> on my PinePhone, I see the following:</p>
<pre><code>deb http://repo.ubports.com/ xenial main
deb http://repo.ubports.com/ xenial_-_edge main
deb http://repo.ubports.com/ xenial_-_edge_-_pine main
deb http://repo.ubports.com/ xenial_-_edge_-_wayland main
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">This is because the PinePhone needs those branches to function, even though they're not stable and not suitable for all other devices.</p>
<p dir="auto">On the 3T it's only</p>
<pre><code>deb http://repo.ubports.com/ xenial main
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">If we'd add</p>
<pre><code>deb http://repo.ubports.com/ xenial_-_gst-droid main
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">on the image overlay, the images could probably just be built with <code>gst-droid</code> support integrated. It's not like we have much to lose on the 3T. Without it the camera doesn't work at all. This is likely true for other Halium 7.1 / <code>aarch64</code> devices as well.</p>
<p dir="auto">I understand that <code>gst-droid</code> may cause regressions on older devices, but now we're shipping images with broken basic functionality for newer devices - that people are more likely to use in the current day - to avoid breaking the older ones. That doesn't seem right to me.</p>

<p dir="auto">Because the camera app on the 3T is completely broken. It can't take pictures and it can't record videos. But in order to have that working, one has to give up system-image updates, which is also not desirable.</p>
<p dir="auto">There's only an <code>edge</code> channel for the 3T anyway, so it would make sense to me to just merge this at least for that channel.</p>
<p dir="auto">For reference, it has also been merged for the PinePhone's <code>development</code> channel. The stock camera app still worked there, although the <code>gstdroid</code> version linked in the OP works better. But on the 3T currently nothing works, other than taking screenshots of the viewfinder.</p>
