OnePlus 5/5T Front Camera Fix (V2.3)

About the fix:

• It modifies the front camera library to enable portrait mode, 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 8 (use v3 or higher for Android 9).
• Requirements: TWRP recovery or a rooted phone.
• 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.
