OnePlus 5/5T Front Camera Fix (V1)

A new update for this fix is available here.

About the fix:

  • It modifies the front camera library to enable portrait mode, hdr+, raw, etc.
  • Credits go to defcomg/savitar, Arnova8G2, shadowstep, and everyone that worked on previous versions.
  • Android versions: Android 8 (use v3 or higher for Android 9).
  • Requirements: TWRP recovery or a rooted phone.
  • Limitations:
    • The front camera resolution is reduced to 4MP to avoid pink/red photos.
