Attempting to install Pixel/Google Camera

Ok I see, but I really have no idea how to install an update to the updater app. I’m kinda confused sorry.

That link shows how to do it :slight_smile: But basically you just download and install the 6v2 apk, then restart the updater (or just reboot).

Apologies: I seem to have taken this discussion a bit off-topic, so I will leave it here, after making a couple of points:

  1. It goes against the grain a bit to see Iodé developers doing work that effectively makes devices from Google - who currently seem to be rowing back on their ‘support’ for custom ROM developers - more attractive to users / customers than devices from manufacturers like Sony and Fairphone who actively support custom ROM developers. “Don’t buy a Fairphone / Sony - the camera is rubbish compared to the Pixel’s camera”;

barring adding proprietary .apk that licensing wouldn’t allow to pre-bundle)

  1. I think the licence issue is a red herring: we quite happily include custom binary blobs (from TheMuppets repos) which are at least as proprietary as the Sony Camera apk. I would have thought that the legal staus of those is about the same. What licence do we follow - and who is the licensee - that allows the ‘pre-bundling’ of proprietary binary blobs but not of proprietary apks?

Anyway, I will explore the possibility of including the Sony apps and services in my builds for Sony devices, and discuss in a separate thread if needed.

Bye!

Hey, I installed 6.7 beta and was able to install the pixel camera. Thank you a lot for your help.

Just to clarify, is your handset a Pixel? If it’s not interested to know what you got it installed on…
:smiley:

It’s a pixel 6 pro

Thanks! Was hoping you’d cracked using the app on a non-Pixel!
:wink: :smirking_face:

Looking at the LineageOS subreddit, it seems that some recent builds for Pixel devices have been withdrawn, possibly because of problems installing the Google Camera app

How do i provide feedback on the iode os 6.7 beta?

Regarding this thread on how to install Pixel Camera, or more broad feedback on other issues? We have a Telegram channel for beta feedback (bridged to Matrix), or you can post a new thread here on the forum.

Trying this again, I’m on Iodé 6.8.

When I try to install the Pixel Camera from Aurora, I get the following error:

Expected URL scheme 'http' or 'https' but no scheme was found for 

((note, I still have one of the alternate pixel cameras installed (“Camera 8.8”), does that matter?))

Hmm, seems that the copy button doesn’t copy all of it. Here’s a screenshot instead:

EDIT: Deleted content as duplicate of post below due to browser glitch when drafting.

That looks like the usual Aurora Store random issues with G blocking thing… Probably just need to be patient ndvtey again in a day or two.

Or try the spoof manager option to change your phone type.

Using a VPN to change country might help - but usually the above two are the solution.

Changing the device under spoofing has always helped me.
The AuroraStore is restarted. Maybe that’s the trick. After that I change the device back.
A log out from the Aurora account and a new log in didn’t help.
Maybe a restart of the device can also help - not tested.
