      @Flohack I tried it on RC and it did not work. It installed, but the camera app didn't take pictures. It just showed the spinner and got stuck.

      That is also what happens without gst-droid.

      There are no Stable images yet for the OnePlus 3T. See here.

      But am I correct that OTA-13 is expected to be the first stable image for all the phones here? I can't speak for all of them, but I do have two OnePlus 3T's, and without gst-droid the camera does not work at all. Not for pictures and not for videos.

      We'd be shipping a "Stable" release with a completely broken basic functionality - the ability to take pictures - without adding the gst-droid branch to at least the op3t images.

        With the delays on OTA-13, can this maybe be included after all on the OnePlus3/3T image by default?
        Since the images are device specific I don't see any disadvantage on enabling this on these devices like @kkeijzer was already saying, or am I missing something?

          @poVoq The problem is we only have one common rootfs, so this would need to be added specifically for only one device or 2. We can have a discussion about it how this can be solved, but no ETA on it, sorry.

            out of curiosity, does this have any effect on the devices that are already supported?

            Whether you think you can, or you can't, if you do not try, you will never truly know. So give it a Go.

              @tigerpro yes, unfortunately we had some regressions with that, thats one of the reasons it takes so long to get into the main rootfs.

                @peat_psuwit said in How to: test GStreamer-droid based camera support in Ubuntu Touch (for Halium 7.1 based port):

                UPDATED: If you're running arm64 image, please also run apt install gstreamer1.0-droid nemo-qtmultimedia-plugins.

                This seems to be unnecessary as of OTA-13.
                I have installed this on my OnePlus3 and it seems to be working fine for photos.
                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.
                Trying to record a video crashes the app, but that was expected according to the OnePlus3 device page.

                  @poVoq Yes this is unnecessary meanwhile @peat_psuwit can you take out this sentence for arm64 devices in the first post? Thx!

                    Hello @peat_psuwit I'm porting BQ U Plus (tenshi) and camera is the last issue: with version 3.1.1 it worked smoothly (some months ago when I needed to apt-mark hold nemo-qtmultimedia-plugins), but recently it stopped to work.
                    I used your debug command and the output was:

                    Any guidance how to fix it? Thnx

                      Is still dev required or does it now also work on stable/rc (oneplus 3t)?

                          Ok, I have now a fresh flashed Oneplus 3t dev and I installed the GStreamer-droid based camera. In the camera app I see always a 2:2 layout but the pictures I shoot are in the layout I set (16:9 in my example).

                          Screenshot:
                          Screen.png

                          Picture from the same position:
                          Bild.png

                          Anybody else with this problem? How could I fix this?
