Do any versions have fully working panorama mode? I think i have tried every version and it's like it's stuck on low resolution even if you set it to medium or high. The file size is TINY and resolution is small.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Same results as you. Every single panorama I took with Google cam looked awful:(

Not even sure if any of the 4pda forum users have tried panorama on their phones:)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] railfan-eric:
Same here. i don't have a replacement for the stock camera panaramas. the stock doesn't do as good as my GS7 and iphone 6+ i used to have. pity it doesn't work right on the Gcam. it also doesn't stitch the photos correctly.

Too bad you can't save pictures directly to a sdcard. Has to go on internal storage.

This app is infected with PUP.HighConfidence!!!

I bet non of you tested this app before putting it into your phone for viruses etc.

WhiteArmor (which is the best antivirus and antimalware software to day) is detecting a PUP in it.

Here's the VirusTotal result: link

Good luck using it.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Thanks for pointing that out. However it is odd that all other antivirus/anti-malware software reported this file as clean. I'm not saying that WhiteArmor is wrong, but this seems to be very doubtful that file is infected when only one from 60+ scanners report it as not being clean.

Gcam 3.7: hdr not working. Lg g6 international.

Inviato dal mio LG-H870 utilizzando Tapatalk
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] flaviusbob:
The Gcam 3.7 works well for me, with the settings posted above. I've also selected config cam nexus 6p and hdr calculation pixel xl. I've tried a lot of variants and until this one, v.1.5 was the most stable and delivered good performance, however in some cases it was a bit artificial, to much saturation or blue tint. The v.3.7 seems an upgrade to 1.5, it delivered in my opinion a good balance between noise and detail. The colors and saturation seem natural and night images don't have the blue tint and have good detail and acceptable level of noise. I will test more on this version, but I am really happy with it. It's a keeper, many thanks to developers !!!

P.S is the jpeg quality set to 100%?

For the next versions I don't mind if the jpeg are larger and if it takes more time to build the hdr, knowing that the result is much better. Thanks. !

That's the thing - WhiteArmor has detected all tested malware and PUPs...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Sorry but didn't get that. There are other software on the list from the URL you provided which haven't discovered PUP. One of them (Kaspersky) is capable of discovering PUP, hence I'm not very convinced that GCam is infected. Kaspersky is just an example here.

That being said I might be wrong:)

I have question maybe u can help me I love Google camera the pic is very good. I have app with hdr that work but in low light no good with hdr and your app is the best and the hdr don't work maybe you can help me that it's work pls..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
I noticed this too, but took it as safe only because the version mentioned here https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported/ (GCam_4.4.012.156195200_MI5S_MIUI_Android_7.0_PIXE L_II_XL_v.1.1.apk) also gets flagged only by WhiteArmour when you throw it into VirusTotal. in this link I posted there this specific version was decompiled with a full diff of the changes for any malicious insertions and there was none. perhaps [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION] may know a little on what's going on with the BSG version since he's modifying it for his version?

lastly, related or not, I've been using BSG's 3.4a version with great results HOWEVER what I have noticed is that after backing out of the camera, the memory used is never released, while ivanich's 3.4 seems slightly faster with the same settings for both versions.

that being said, I've tried both versions of 3.7, but cannot get HDR to go off even with

Supported hardware level, rear camera - Limited

Camera profile I set to Nexus 6P, but I've also tried all the Pixel ones and the Nexus Experimental 2016 Tuning
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tvrdi76:
The problem is the pics taken with google cam are too dark, no matter the settings.

We are doomed with 2017 flagships...every has serious flaws...I wonder why LG is putting smaller and smaller camera sensors in its flagships and why on earth they do such awfull image postprocessing which often turns as oversharpening and posterizing. I had Huawei P10 who had much better camera but was getting very hot in matter of minutes like al huaweis and had a lot of bugs and that pathetic 5.1" screen without oleophobic coating...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] flaviusbob:
I don't find the pics taken with my g6 with the gcam to be to dark. They have good contrast and some vignette effect, the saturation is also good. I find the lg stock cam to be a bit overexposed in some cases, not to mention the awful image processing. When you zoom in is like 2012:( .Gcam saved my photography on my g6, i really does wonders. I am impressed on what software only can do. I am wondering what are the results with a larger sensor and this camera like sony has or the original pixel. In Romania I only saw a pixel at a store, but I never saw a person or a friend having it. I never hold one in my hand unfortunately, and is too expensive to buy. I payed around 500 euros for my g6 compared to 800 for a pixel. On the other day I was looking at a colleague of mine's photos on his lg g5 se ! and the pics looked really good, very clean. I don't understand why lg did not at least maintain the same sensor for the main camera.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tvrdi76:
so which of the two version of the v3.8 I should use on G6?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wgaustria:
I am always using the original one. The camera was originally ported for the Xiaomi MI5S based on nexus libs. Recently 2 versions (one with Nexus and one with Pixel libs) were posted. I asked in the Russian 4PDA forum what the difference is - not much - they said. In the Russian forum only the original version is posted (not the google libs). I go with that. That version works fine on my LG G6 and my Leeco Le Max 2
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Does the HDR+ work for you with front camera? I installed version with Pixel 2 libs and even though the HDR+ is enabled it takes normal photo (without processing).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lucfig:
Noticed that too.

Everything workibg, except for front camera hdr+. Unless it is processed so quickly I can't even see, but don't believe this is true.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] railfan-eric:
I noticed that the HDR+ photos are real dark. the shadows are real dark. HDR is supposed to lighten shadows and darken contrasts. I also notice when photographing bright colored flowers the white balance gets whacked way way into the red when it's sunny. Seems backwards. I have to slide the slider over to the cyan side of things to color balance the photos. anyone else have this issue? It's about the same with the stock camera as well.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Am I the only one who doesn't see any difference in picture quality with latest versions?

I was following the original 4pda thread for a couple of days now and have no clue where the development goes... There are more and more options from version to version without clear explanation on what they mean and more importantly what is the correlation between them.

The initial idea was to get feedback from all users in the thread about optimal settings. They were even voting on pictures taken with various camera profiles to find the best setup (great idea btw.).

It turns out that Nexus 6 camera profile (Nexus 6 HDR plus Auto) was the most popular one.

However it looks like the research for best setup slows down, but more options show up.

To be clear I totally respect the dev and his work. I simply don't get the point why there is so many profiles to choose from...

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tvrdi76:
Inside the google camera app...you need to go to settings then to Config camera and there you need to choose Pixel 2016 Zsl Hdr option. Then you must completely close the app and open it again.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tvrdi76:
Can you please share your camera config settings and which version of gcam you are using. Im using v3.8 and pixel zsl hdr 1 as camera config. Pictures with hdr taken with gcam are indeed much darker when using hdr. If hdr isnt applied then there arent details in the shadows. Then again LG cam is doing decent job until you are taking pics of leaves and human faces. Then the damn postprocessing with oversharpening and posterizing is taking the details....so many reviews and only one mentioned this and other praising this tiny camera sensor and awfull software. G6s main camera is used as frontal camera in U11...If i knew that I would invest a little big more for that model. LG basicaly released an 2017 flagship with one year old cpu and 3 years old camera sensor.

Apologies, I haven't read through all 32 pages so far of this thread, but is there a version of this where the picture/video storage location can be changed? Appreciate not if it has come from Pixel without an SD card, but it would be great to see this added for phones like the G6 with SD support.

Thanks
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tvrdi76:
You cant. But this shouldnt be an issue for pics. Im taking videos with stock camera app anyways.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramsey:
Thanks for your settings, they work great!

The only change I did which helped the white balance A LOT (and brighter image and no more picture loading but instead is instant) is change the Nexus 6 HDRPlusAuto to Pixel 2016 ZSL.

Even though the results are spectacular, you have to really stand still when you snap the picture and after you snap it. When I had my Pixel I did not have to stand still and it would freeze all subjects without an issue. I hope this is not the best we could do for this app because I'm not happy with the camera from the G6. The G4 had a better camera, and G5 as well (though way sharpening was too extreme as usual).

How do you guys find the latest version and recommended settings?

Till yesterday I was using the following config: Nexus 6 HDR plus Auto, 15/9/7, Pixel/PixelXL. and I was quite happy with the pictures. They had a lot of details, but were a little bit too dark. You could get an impression that lights are dimmed to bring more details but at the same time shadows were darker too.

So I changed my config to the one that BSG recommended for the latest version.

Haven't tested this extensively yet, do hard to say but definitely pictures are brighter. Obviously less details are cought comparing to Nexus profile.

What do you guys think?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] flaviusbob:
Good intervention here, to animate the discussion in a constructive way. The version .c from yesterday with the recommended settings was good in low light, but really slow on my g6 and a bit unstable, the button freezes a few times. Also the latest versions consumed battery more than usual.

With the version .d with the settings is a bit faster, colors are nice, but I also noticed that there that the image is not as sharp and also indoors, i've noticed some noise. Hovewer I see improvements in performance with each version but in stability not so. I hope people give feedback and we get to a good balance between stability, image quality and speed.

Thank you guys for sharing with us the latest versions and settings.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
There is one "problem", people in the original thread are using Xiaomi MI5S, which has a little bit different hardware than our phones. So all of the settings and comments, bug reports and complaints are mainly focused on Xiaomi phone. This means we should be looking for our own settings to get the max from our devices:)

Regarding the button issue you mentioned, it happened to me a couple of times as well. However, I haven't found any pattern why this happens. Quickest way to fix this is to switch to front camera and then back to rear one.

btw does the burst work for you? If so how do you take pictures in burst mode? I remember it worked by pressing and holding main button in older versions (1.x). But can't make it work in the latest ones.
