Download (normal lens): cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.1.apk

Download (wide angle v3.2):

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.2_wide.apk

-v3.2 changes the model for G5 and G6 to Nexus 6P to fix color dots in low light, and changes V20 to Taimen model

Outdated:

Download (wide angle v3.1, separate APK): cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.1_wide.apk

Download (wide angle v3.1 with Nexus 6P model, if you have weird dot issues with the above):

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.1_wide_n6p.apk

NOTE: This is built using info from the LG V30 which has 3 camera ID's:

Camera 0 (back)

Camera 1 (front)

Camera 2 (back (wide angle))

I cannot guarantee success on other devices, especially if the phone does not even report all cameras through the Camera2 API (use Camera2Test app to verify your device info). If you are on LineageOS, please consult your dev to see if they can alter the camera ID's to properly match LG stock roms, if my version does not work.

Previous Versions:

cstark27 v3 wide angle beta 1 (with LG G6 LineageOS patch)

-Separate APK based off cstark27 v3

cstark27 v2.1

-EXIF fix, thanks Arnova8G2

-Enable HDR+ toggle by default

-Uncheck camera:use_photos by default to increase stability (turn back on and test if you want. Enabling this makes it use Google Photos.)

The wide angle app 3.1 leaves color dot artifacts when compared to the wide angle 3 beta.

I tried to use the wide angle 3.1 Nexus 6p but it freezes after I press the shutter button and picture isn't taken.

So I went back to the v3 beta for now.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
Thanks. I will put the V20 back to the Taimen model. My V30 also doesn't capture with the N6P model. Weird how there's so much variation between devices from the same manufacturer lol.

How is the normal lens 3.1? Does it need to go back to Taimen?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkknight200:
The normal 3.1 works very good. No problem that I can tell.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightshadow931:
Normal version seems fine. Just tested it in LL with stock app, seems to be better than stock :)

Will have to test further more though, but looks like it doesn't have problem of over exposing like the previous version.

cstark27 v3.3

-IMPORTANT: CLEAR APP DATA after installing. This version changes the configs a little bit so more problems may happen if you do not erase app data.

-Fixed Wide Angle HDR+ Processing with Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL)

-Improved Re-focus after touch to focus

-Added JPEG Quality toggle

-Added Disable ZSL Config: switch between Pixel ZSL or Nexus 6 No ZSL configs

-Adjust look of settings and add About section from [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

LG G6 owners: There may still be a purple tint in shadows in low light when using HDR+ Enhanced. I am still working on a solution but it is hard to find without having the device. There are apps that provide a black level offset to correct this but in tests we have seen that only the first HDR+ Enhanced photo is usually purple tinted but remaining photos are fine. Tapping to set focus and exposure also seems to help. I would also try the "Disable ZSL" setting and see if that helps. Huge shoutout at [MENTION=3267278]Mefiboshet[/MENTION] for all of his testing and letting me pester him with test versions all the time.

Your gcam v3.3

Again, stock looks far more better. I did not change anything in settings. HDR+ was on(not enhanced). ISO is 2 times higher on gcam compared to the stock LG cam.

Any idea how to get better result?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
Enhanced (or Disable ZSL config) should give better result. Something is wrong with ZSL (at least on my V30) and it hardly tames the highlights like on a Pixel 2.

There's no much difference between HDR+/HDR+ Enhanced/ZSL disabled/enabled in this case.

gcam's pics have noticeable more noise than LG's cam. Just look at the sky.

So all in all. Is it worth using the GCam for the v20 device?

Weird photo movement ?

Hi , just installed the Pixel 2 camera on my V20. I am seeing a strange thing when taking photos with the Pixel 2 :

When I take photos in both HDR MODES ( ie Auto & ON ).. things behave normal.

When I take a pic with HDR "off" ( i.e. non-hdr ).. the picture is moved UP somehow .. as tho I have moved my position UP considerably ..

This behavior is not seen when I use the stock v20 camera .. or when using OPEN CAMERA that I have also installed.

Any ideas ?

Hi,

I am finding all the versions to be confusing .. I just reloaded a newer version by "ARNOVA" ( see below ) .. maybe that is the wrong developer for my LG V20 ?

Ps - the issue/problem I observed is gone in Arnova's version below .

I am using this now

:

GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9

NOTE : I un-installed the version i initially had .. it was the one I saw being demo'd in a video .. I am pretty sure it was this one:

MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.2_Android-7.0+_SG7Exy_Slow

So is MGC vs ARNOVA builds a big difference ? regarding LG's ??

thanks.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] woldranger:
A late one to this thread but I just noticed your comment, so I went onto the app (I've been using the stock camera mainly due to the option of the wide angle not showing in the google camera one) but if it's the icon with the 2 green arrows around a central circle, if I tap and hold on that I end up in settings! If I long press, it's onto selfie mode. I'm obviously missing something really obvious here....
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
What version of Gcam are you using?

I'm a little confused because you first say you tap and hold (which is same as long press) and then you say you long press and it gave you a different result. What happens when you just single tap the camera switch button?

I do remember reading that a specific Gcam out there said that long pressing the switch button was a way to enter settings so it's possible you are on a different version.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] woldranger:
Sorry for the late reply! I've just had a look and it's 5.1.018_24_v4.2

The only thing I noticed is that the second version doesn't have the zero shutter lag and a disabled burst shot function. I tried the burst shot with the previous version and it would just freeze, trying to create the files. Currently using the latest version and it has a slight delay when processing the picture.

Also noticed that both seem to work the same. I can install BSG original version, and have no problems either. I also have Arnova8G2 versions, they both seem to work on our device equally. Though I believe Arnova8G2 seems to be a little smoother. Would need to ask him what changes he makes from the original to his tweaks, which have been for the op3, not the LG-V20. Even though those settings work fine with our devices.

I installed BSG version 1.4 from op5 forum, and have version 9.1 as gcmod5 and both seem to work the same with a few changes. Both seem to shoot the same size, ISO, and shutter speeds. For some reason our hardware seems to work with the original where the op3 doesn't.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey95hd:
I got it now, EIS, that is specific to the Pixel and Pixel 2 only, but the new Pixel 2 has OIS also built into the camera, is where I was going with this question. Also the LGV20 has EIS, maybe not the same as the Pixel 2? Below is what I found for the LGV20.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

[/COLOR]

Seems the two have some of the same specs.

12.2 MP, f/1.8, OIS, phase detection & laser autofocus, dual-LED flash Pixel 2 specs.

While there have been phones with Snapdragon 820 before, it seems none of them implemented Qualcomm's video stabilization built into the chipset - LG claims it's the first.

Steady Record 2.0 incorporates that to add gyro-based electronic image stabilization (EIS). It works faster than V10's EIS, the delay between reading the sensors and adjusting the image is down from 100 µsec to 50 µsec. Image analysis algorithms work to keep objects in place by analyzing the last 15-20 frames and to minimize the rolling shutter effect. Note that this is available only on 1080p @ 30fps videos. The 1080p @ 60fps and 2160p clips have to go without this tech.

Same goes for the tracking autofocus, which the camera offers.

This is all on top of the traditional optical image stabilization (OIS) that the 16MP camera of the LG V20 has. That camera also features Laser + Phase detection autofocus system and a color spectrum sensor for more accurate color reading of the ambient light (potentially helpful in producing a more accurate color in artificial light photos), dual-LED flash, LGV20 Specs.

Sounds like the LGV20 uses EIS in it video mode and tracking autofocus, and so does the Google Pixel 2. See below for Google Pixel 2 explaining using OIS and EIS together.

https://petapixel.com/2017/10/05/power-googles-new-fused-video-stabilization/

Not sure how this works, with the LGV20, seems it has EIS built into it also?

Motion pictures and Portrait mode would be nice, and maybe possible with the LGV20...but I don't expect that to happen with Android 7.0, maybe if they upgrade to Android 8. Would be very nice....see link below for these features on the Pixel 2.

So what are currently the best settings for LG V20 and GCam5.1.014-Arnova8G2-v10 app?

Also, am I missing something or is HDR+ off, HDR+ auto and HDR+ on not accessible anymore from camera screen?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey95hd:
I wrote on page 4 the best settings and under advanced in settings is where you turn on the hdr+ to appear on the screen, otherwise it's automatic.

These setting seemed to work best for me Model Pixel 2XL, using Config. Camera HDR+ Nexus 6P= super high and HDR+ paramerters = super high. For the vs995 Verizon.

Thanks! Seems to work fine on H990DS but still have to test it during the day though.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I've tried just about every setting config combo and I still can't get ZSL to process as HDR. It'll take the picture and has the little HDR processing logo but when it finishes you can tell it's not actually HDR compared to the other models that have the little circle right after you take the pic.

Would be nice to have ZSL but its not a big deal as the other slower configs have nice quality. I appreciate the help.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey95hd:
Did you turn on HDR+ settings on under advanced? So that way it will be on the screen to change it to on or enhanced.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cinemafou:
What settings are you trying to use for ZSL HDR + ? I'm guessing it's not as simple as copying mikey95hd's settings from page 4 and changing config camera HDR+ to "PIXEL 2017 Zsl Hdr+" ? I'm trying to make it work as well.

ZSL is supposed to be a photo generated as soon as you press the shutter button right? So in theory I should be able to click on the shutter, quickly move the camera away and still have a sharp photo without "moving smudges". Is that what ZSL is?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey95hd:
ZSL is zero shutter lag, you can move your camera once it makes the shutter noise, it takes a little time to process the photo. HDR works by taking several photos, combines them for the best shot. So the 2017 Pixel with zsl is the one you choose for config.

HDR takes a under and over exposed shot and picks a best shot to combine all of them together. Snap a picture and you hear the shutter then you can move the camera. See attached photo for settings.
