OnePlus 5/5T Front Camera Fix (V4.1)

A new update for this fix is available here.

About the fix:

  • It modifies the front camera library to enable portrait, hdr+, raw, etc, and reduces the "dot pattern" issue.
  • Credits go to defcomg/savitar, Arnova8G2, shadowstep, and everyone that worked on previous versions.
  • Android versions: Android 9 (use v2.5 for Android 8).
  • Requirements: TWRP recovery or Magisk.
  • Limitations: The front camera resolution is reduced to 4MP (OnePlus bug).
  • Suggestion: Perform a TWRP backup before applying the fix in case something goes wrong.
  • All versions: v1, 2, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 3, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.41, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0.

Downloads:

  • v3+ is for Android 9. Use v2.5 for Android 8 or Pie ROMs using old libs.
  • Stock and custom ROMs based on Android 9 use Treble. Non-treble zips aren't needed anymore.
