This thread has been incredibly informative and it's amazing what all has been accomplished. Good work to you all! I am very happy to be mostly proven wrong about the wide-angle being accessible to Camera2 haha.

Just to try to loop things back around though, this

is

the LG G6-specific forum of XDA, and I have been right there with vitoski in full belief that the only 'correct' model for low-light reproduction using HDR for the G6, is very clearly Shamu/Nexus 6. Seeing the latest cstark app with vitoski (and other's) recommendation of Shamu as the model may well be as good as the G6 camera will ever get, and I think we'll all be insanely happy.

Again, AMAZING work on all of this to all involved in building, testing, or bug reports!

Last I check it was, I'll double check the _24/_25 versions later. If he didn't fix the exif, it would say Huawei LG-H###. If it was Nexus 6 it would say Motorola.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] remondz:
I've just checked it and Scrubber's apk uses Nexus 6P (Angler) model. Version with Nexus 6 (Shamu) would be even better - less noise.

I agree, Pixel models just don't work well with a G6.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsalta:
I know this is LG Subforum but just to tell the Pixel Models i mean Pixel 2 Pixel 2 XL do the best Shoots for me!

Using Gcam with HTC 10

I ALready sayd Big thank you to the developer [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] for this Port for several reasons.

1st i try in the past 2 months all availible Gcam port from all Russian Forums all here on XDA posible and few other places tested over 30 different Ports.

The best one so far is this one because of this:

1st For 1st time even when this port is moded to use Pixel 2 ( i love this) when i take image its shows the real INFO when i look for the details for example 4000 x 3000 pixels 12Megapixels

For some reason all other Mods i test always do 11. something or 11.2 megapixel shoots with demension 4000 x 2930 let say.

2. the port is snapy no lags at all and because of the using Pixel configuration the SZL work perfectly fine this is a must.

All settings for me work expect Color Corection in low light photos but this is mean to be used on LG so i just leave it switched OFF anyway because if i enable it i will always have Pink Purple Photo from the back camera. So in other device you cannot use this option.

I found only one problem and its a bit weird.

When i did try to shoot Picture from my balkon this night with HDR+ also with HDR+ Enchanced with Auto Flash or with FLASH ON doesnt metter when i press the shooting button imideately after the Blink of the flash the app crash and force close by itself.

So i begin testing more and more why, i take Shoots with Flash ON indoor without a problem so start to test diferent scenarios what cause the force close and i found it.

This only heppan IF i shoot night Image and i have turned HDR+ ON or Enxchanced

If i swtich HDR+ to OFF the Back camera never have problems with the Flashlight or how dark is outside the weird think is that Indoor i take Pictures with HDR+ Exchanget and FLashlight without any problem and this look like to me

If is too DARK only then this problem occur its like the HDR+ cant handle it.

this is the most weird bug ive ever seen.

Thanks

cstartk27, any chance you could also implement Lens blur/Portrait Mode in your version?

The essential phone shares the same sensor as the g6, but for some reason your version gives black screen. I also noticed settings enable gcam is gone under developer settings. Can you see why it's not loading?

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
May be due to as it has another processor 835 vs 821 and which android version are you using?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xterminater07:
Oreo beta 3. Shouldn't because gcam is not based on cpu, he removed something that didnt work.

Hi, I start using this app (4.0) and I think the original app is less efficient than the basic LG ..

What are the optimal settings selected for you ? (I do not want to read the 129 pages of the post)

thank you very much
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Version (4.0) is VERY, VERY old... Better read the last 5-10 pages of this thread and download one of the recent versions. Then go to this page and download the version you like: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Hi guys,

Here're the bad news:

I've been playing hard with colors and I found something interesting but it's bad news. In fact, trying to correct colors manually is a big mistake because it's impossible to get right colors in all situations. When the automatic values are changed manually, this affects to ALL pictures taken in ALL situations and ALL modes (No 'HDR+', 'HDR+ auto', 'HDR+ enhanced'). I tried very hard to set values only for 'HDR+ enhanced' mode under low-light conditions (this combination gives strong magenta cast) but it's impossible because when you find a proper value, it's not longer valid when light changes or Google Camera chooses another AWB value. So, the best option is not touching this setting. With HDR+ (not enhanced) we get the best results in most situations, even in low-light conditions, with the automatic settings. 'HDR+ enhanced' mode is not intended for low-light photography.

I've just built this morning a ver. 2beta Google Camera by ArtZ ver.2beta where I left the option 'Color cast correction' but it has not effect (Google Camera performs the same with the switch ON or OFF) just in case I find a solution or a better idea. After this find, I have added 'HDR+ Option' which was not available before but set to ON. I don't see a real interest now to have this option ON all the time.

Regards,

Hello,

This version is intended for the LG G6. The image sensor is not the problem. You'll find compatible versions for your phone here:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Regards,
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION], again let me thank you for taking extra steps and playing around with colors. Based on what you have accomplished, your final findings and attempts of other devs to fix purple tint in HDR+Enhanced, I believe the model that is used in the recent LG versions is not the right one for our phone. It will always give purple tint in low light (both natural and synthetic) regardless of the color tweaks etc.

From what I have tested along with other users, our phone works best with Nexus 6 / Nexus 6P model (Shamu / Angler) and there is on doubt about it. I took some of the sample shots yesterday and while Tiamen produced purple tint on every single photo with HDR+ set to Enhanced (with and without color cast), the Scrubber's version gave exactly the same colors with HDR+ Enhanced as HDR+ Auto.

I am aware that there are many people who prefer to use Pixel 2 XL model because it gives less noise, than Nexus 6 or Nexus 6P, but this is just a trade off. You can either stick with Nexus 6 (Shamu) and have proper colors with HDR+Ehnahnced which is very handy when it comes to challenging light conditions OR stick to Pixel 2 XL and get less noise (also less details) photos and forget about using HDR+Enhanced in low light.

[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] has no knowledge, because it sends the test version that was posted here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75275595&postcount=1123

with codes that can block the camera of some devices to restore your device; you have to restart.

This version that I had to send was for tests, I deleted all the protection code for the use of the front camera in hdr + mode.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:

No fight Guys [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] is one of the Best Gcam developers because if he was not here all the Android world will be very far away from this Builds that we have now!

On the same time i don`t know what exactly is the difference with the [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] version but for HTC 10 using Nougat its better and the strange thing is this: im sure u know more about this guys

for example when i test lets say BSG or any other mod i love the Pixels settings and is normal when i do photos under the photo info the MARKER to be Google this is normal.

But doing that always my pictures missed about 0.70 pixels what i mean is always the Pictures are with demenssion 4000 x 2930 using 11.something Megapixels.

With the [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] Build the pictures are 4000 x 3000 exactly like with the Stock HTC Camera and the weird thing is that under info Market and Shooter is HTC no Google No Huawei and so on and is shooted with 12 Megapixel Sensor this is the real sensor of the HTC 10.

Another Difference here is this with the Arnova8G2 Build lets say his latest 1.6 or 1.7 Beta the Front facing HDR+ photo are alot more crisper clear and bigger lets say one Selfie is about 4-5 MB

with the ArtZ version the HDR+ in front is weaker not so strong and the pictures of the selfie do not have so much details and the final result is that one selfie is about 1.8 2mb

So there is not universal MOD thats why we have so muchhhhhhh builds everyone is trying giving his best to make it one idea better and further all Android Comunity already benefit from this not only specific Device Brand now everyone want to have a Gcam on his device! and you guys change the shooting expirience.

I wish there to be one HTC 10 developer who own that device but no luck anyway i remember the time befor few months that even to make a normal picture with HDR+ was really hard try without pinkish redish dots or artifacts with every build the things are getting better and better, i was thinking that someday we can have a CLONE of the Gcam that can shoot even better than the Original Google Camera!

THANKS

This version of [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] is identical to this test version https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75275595&postcount=1123

Or for this stable version GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V1.

I contact them by private message for help because it sends a version without protection (I force all the functions). he ignored my message.

I warn users to be careful because there are plenty of them that start to send versions without knowledge to have thanks.
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] takes the GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V1 version it is identical to the one you post, the protection is not removing and change of name
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsalta:
I understand what you mean [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] so this version GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V1.apk

is absolute the same like ArtZ one?

I think now i know why i have HDR+ on the photos ZSL and Pixel working but in the pictures info the Marker is HTC always! if you removed all restrictions its seems like the Device handle the image processing better.

tonight will try it out to see can i find something more.

use zsl : on

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsalta:
Yes same im happy with the 1.7 even the Betta but im unable to use Pixel ZSL because i have black screen on the back camera its work fine with Nexus Auto but the ZSL doesnt work with that setup the last time i was able to use PIXEL config was in your version 1.2 after this always black screen.

So you know better what you change in the new build and this causes the black screen on the back camera.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

My favorit setting using the HTC 10 harware are

CAMERA HDR+ Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+

MODEL PIXEL CORR or PIXEL 2

this is the BEST COMBO for the HTC

Also HDR+ set to SUPER HIGH or Medium no matter

But the problem is that on the new versions like i say 1.7 1.6

I love 1.6 btw but again the same If i choice any different model instead of Nexus Auto i have always Black screen on the back camera with the PIXEL presets.

IF version 1.6 Arnova was able to have working Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+ will be the best combo ever!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
You really make laugh. Your versions are 95% made by developed by Google (you don't even respect Google developers because you even change the original name as if it was your own application), 4% developed by BSG (lots of code from him inside your versions) and maybe 1% from you... and you complain? C'mon.

You have added a 'Reddish/pink/magenta tint' option based in BSG finds but you haven't even realized that using that option changes colors in all modes! Who has no knowledge?

I have no lessons to get from you. My version is based in BSG version, exactly like yours. No more, no less.

Have a nice day.

Excellent idea to compare both versions. Here're some screenshots.

I don't find respectful when you who post here '@ArtZ has no knowledge' as I don't find respectful to change original applications names.

I've been working pretty hard for more than a week and you're nobody to say that. You haven't found the real issue with colors https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75338166&postcount=1285

By the way, your version V1 it has some nasty bugs. I won't use it. I prefer mine.

One more thing, I don't ask for donations either. The work I've done, I share for free.

I agree with you when you say 'it's ridiculous' but for different reasons. BTW, I'm 57 years old. I'm not a kid. When you say 'to stop these kids', you're being disrespectful once more.

A bit of humility should help you.

Guys Guys Guys like i sayd already many many times XDA Developers is meant to be a Super Forum WE the community to create the things better im old member from the very begining when was only WindowsMobile on the Market and Symbian Lol

Im not familiar with ANDROID development i was most familiar how the things work Under Windows Mobile however will be glad if someone can take his tame to read the Logs im uploading to see what is the problem exactly!

I know this Thread is main to be for the G6 but it is also for Snapdragon 820 and above.

Runing Nougat on HTC 10 we all know its SD 820 device.

What i know for sure is that the 12 Ultrapixels on the Back of the HTC 10 can take much more better pictures with Gcam and we don`t have dedicated developer who own that device and is willing to develop one version for us! Stable.

this is why im uploading Catlogs.

I tested almost every posible Build from the very begining of the Gcam Trend :)

And for sure i know that the Hardware of the HTC 10 work best with MODEL Pixel Corr, Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL

Also the HDR+ Marker the best one is PIXEL 2017 ZSL HDR+ that is.

What mean exactly that the HTC 10 and above can take better photos is due to the LARGE pixels More light! in the sensor. so called ULTRAPIXELS.

to be easy for you this is the exact specs:

CAMERA	Primary	12 MP (f/1.8, 26mm, 1/2.3", 1.55 µm), OIS, laser autofocus, dual-LED dual-tone flash.

Features	Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, HDR, panorama

Video	2160p@30fps, 720p@120fps, HDR, stereo sound rec.

Secondary	5 MP (f/1.8, 23mm, 1.34 µm), OIS, autofocus, 1080p, HDR

Note that the FRONT camera also have OIS.

Im uploading two Logcats named Log ArtZ and Arnova

LogCat ArtZ is made with the ArtZ versioni take few shoots everything is working.

On the final i swith to Slow Mo and the camera crash anyway this heppans in all Builds but i did it to see on the log WHY.

Logcat Arnova is made with the Arnova 1.7 B2 Build using the Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+

Model: Pixel 2

I recive Black Screen on the Back camera because of the Pixel 2017 HDR+ Settings.

But the Front Camera is working fine with this settings!

Also the Portrait MODE work in Both Front and Back camera with the same settings its seems that the Black screen is here only when i try to do regular HDR+ photo.

Again the SLOW MO crash the app.

Will be really thankfull if you guys can make ONE Gcam Port for the HTC Users.

Don't you guys think now that after the Google cam being ported to LG G6 by our AWESOME developers, having a second lens just for potrait modes is total waste now.. And the second wide angle lens in the G6 is much more useful now.. This makes G6 an amazing camera with wide angle picture taking capability and Portrait shots as well :D
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryptecks:
This is the truth. We're tweaking parameters in an application NONE of us could have written from scratch. Period. So let's get back to collaboration and recommending settings.

[MENTION=1606575]vitoski[/MENTION] and I have been trying to get things back on track by mentioning that Nexus 6 and 6P models are FAR better in low-light for the LG G6, and this is a G6 thread, and instead of any of us trying that track of thought to help the users most likely to see this thread (G6 users), there's all this **** measuring and arguing going on.

It's in the works. I'm working on setting the model to N6P for certain devices (G6, V20, G5). I had to ask Arnova for some help and will try to get back to the project when I get time. Eventually I want to find out why Shamu (N6) crashes with my modded version (which I always credit Scrubber, BSG, & Arnova since most of the changes are from their own versions besides the wide angle :p) and possibly fix that. But I have quite a few other things to implement first and hopefully N6P is a decent holdover until then.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] thanks for your hard work and commitment - the wide angle version - masterpiece!

The only ask I have is about building version with Nexus 6, not 6P model. The later gives more noise in the photos.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryptecks:
I definitely 2nd this. It's now LONG buried in this thread, but Vitoski did very extensive testing between those two models once we narrowed them down to the best option for the LG G6, and the Nexus 6 beats the 6P.
