[MENTION=4929684]Sergykm[/MENTION] If possible, can you do it with Taimen and Shamu? I found Taimen comparatively better. Let's test it in your view (My comparison 159 # 1587).

Taimen Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xSzB0K0UgroGsNknx4KvAfP2uhQxheTn/view (ArtZ)

Shamu Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-T-GapnYFJ_ZbuJgGxOXLxUnhlRs-zaq/view (ArtZ)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergykm:
[MENTION=7540749]Gagi77[/MENTION] your links are on taimen both.

What version in final release? Taimen or Shamu?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagi77:
Thank you, I've fixed the link. These are the latest releases.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergykm:
Yes, I see it, but as ArtZ sayed about Timen

So it's no good for us in lowlight conditionds.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagi77:
[MENTION=4929684]Sergykm[/MENTION] I have not seen the benefit of using HDR + Enhanced in low light. It's worse than "Auto"(I say for Shamu).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergykm:
Ok, if I will have free time I will compare it, but now I'm working...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagi77:

[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] I will try all of:good:

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] They all seem to be identical (just Taimen "Enhanced" purple). I did the test both inside and outside the house. I think it is necessary to test in bright light to see the difference (I just tested the normal camera "Angler vs Taimen vs Shamu").
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] igoork:
Is there any reason not to use Shamu when we know Taimen is bad at HDR+ enhanced in low light? Where is Taimen better comparing to Shamu?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm running the last version, seems to work great for me, havent tried HDR+ enhanced in lowlight yet but am happy with day-time performance.

Not tried wide-angle yet, whats the consensus with wide-angle, is it worth it? How well does any work, any example images to see?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
привет ;)

Thanks for testing.

In fact, to see the differences in colors, image views should be more colorful with direct natural or artificial low-light. With no correction, greys and whites have a cyan/purple tint; purples, eggplant and magenta colors don't look natural. Under direct artificial light, brown and orange become yellowish. Under very low light, there's some magenta cast on shadows.

Testing colors it can be headache.

Hi,

First, it was just an exemple. Everyone can choose what suits better for him. Second, Taimen colors are more accurate and noise it's better controlled. The only real advantage for Shamu over Taimen is you can use 'HDR+ enhanced' in low-light conditions. Personally, I never use.

Hmm using color plus option I'm getting purple tint on my G6.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] igoork:
I never use it as well, so that is why I asked, I didn't see comparison images between the two that would prove your theory but if you say so I'll go with Taimen than. :good:

[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] I applaud you for taking the initiative as I have to make a better port for your phone. I just wish you were a bit more honest with yourself and gave credit to the great devs who have made this all possible for you and I, like Scrubber (who made one of the first and best install and go ports), [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] (who helped fixed the video for the G6 among other small fixes I've asked him for help on and implemented in private, which made their way into your posted version here), BSG (black level color offsets), and of course me for getting the wide angle working initially.

`com.google.android.apps.camera.specialtypes.SpecialTypesProvidecs` in your AndroidManifest, the cs at the end stands for CStark just fyi. It had to be changed from the default SpecialTypesProvider to stop an installation error if you have multiple versions installed. The similarities to mine and Scrubber's APK are too strong to trust you built it from source with no help from anyone else and I feel it's a bit disingenuous the way you've worded your post to imply that. All I ask is proper credit where due.

Maybe you now have a better understanding of everything necessary to change for certain fixes, from connecting the dots, and can continue to offer a better port for G6 owners however.

Have a good day.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Wide-angle camera is useful when you have a second camera with wide-angle lenses, like the G6 or V30. It doesn't work on normal cameras. In software is just changing "0" for "1" in ega.smali file to select the second camera. Nothing more, nothing less. It's possible (and very easy) to place a switch o the menu to change from normal camera to wide-angle camera. In this way, only one version of Google Camera is needed. I've build a test version yesterday and it works fine but it's not useful for me and I don't want to continue adding options and versions. Besides, nn my tests, I had to stop and restart the camera after changing the switch to change camera. I'm sure it's possible to change camera without exiting the application. Other developers can do it if people want for that.

The positive point of using Google Camera software on wide-angle camera is HDR+ that produces better images with good light conditions (better than LG Camera). The negative points are (a) vignetting (green or purple cast) under low-light conditions and (b) images are often underexposed. Usually, you must increase manual exposure compensation every time if you don't want to get underexposed images.

Smiles. Your "AndroidManifest' was modified to support Android 8.0 (you're using version 6 and it doesn't work for Oreo) when I applied the color calibration to your version and removed a few bugs. I always said it was your version modded Scrubbed version. Yes, I used almost the same modified 'Android manifest' for the new versions (a problem in line 89) and I added -Wide "SpecialTypesProvidecsWide" because I had the same problem than you installing three versions together to test. Now, if that allows you to say my versions are similar, when I compare your sources to Scrubber, 99,999% are the same. Yes, man, I have modified all smali directly from stock Google Camera. You cannot say that.

PS: 6639/7397 different smali files... Just that.

I understand you, I do not know to make him understand that the minimum of respect to give a volunteer developer is credited are working.

The most incredible he thinks we do not know our work. Copy a version is changed 3 to 4 digits it is not worked these a copy (when you give no credit to the dev).

But hey I respect the elderly person so I do not say anything.

So it's a bit childish your answer, if you read the old messages you told me to be 57 years old, I'm 25 years .

An endless discussion with this kind of person
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
It's the second time you try to insult me with my age. That's very rude and shows a lack of respect. Trying to attack people for his age, his physical appearance, etc... shows a very poor education. I don't talk to pretentious and disrespectful people like you. We don't have the same values.

That's all.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryptecks:
Without cstark and Arnova (and BSG, and scrubber, and on, and on), this project would have never gotten off the ground, period, end of story. ArtZ obviously wiping or hiding credits (or developer settings) because they want to 'Make it their own', and posting long-winded 'release' posts to try to make it seem like they are running the thread has honestly run off a LOT of people who were providing input before and are not now. It's totally against what XDA stands for to not

respect the desires of those whose work you are standing on top of

, and cstark and Arnova are both in this thread pointing out, respectfully, why they are pissed, and ArtZ clearly doesn't care, and just keeps posting bull**** pretentious quotes for no reason. I'm happy with the last releases from cstark, and I'm probably going to unsubscribe from this ****-show of a thread.

(Just my opinions, but based on how this thread has gone over the past few months, I'm not alone, at all.)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
I have made my peace with what I wanted to say. You do not seem to quite grasp what I was saying. You should re-read it a few times and do some self reflection.

Also it is bold of you to say my version doesn't work for Oreo when I've used it on my Pixel 2, and it works on other Oreo devices just fine per user reports.

Lastly, the difference between your post and all of mine is I always give credit where that's due. Again, reread my post you quoted for my chief complaint. In the end, you have taken the stock Google Camera app and brought over the same changes from Scrubber, mine, and BSG for a version tailored to you. That's fine! 100%. However, as I mentioned, it's disingenuous when you say:

There is no mention of who you plucked code from other versions. I will leave the discussion with that, if you still do not understand my complaint then that is on you. In the end we all want a good GCam port for our phones. And the real devs (not me) deserve the recognition for the countless hours they've poured into it.

PS: I don't care if your WinMerge says 7000 files are different. Your version still has .line and .prologue on every single smali file. Think about it...

Cheers.

You can accuse all you want buddy but I have done no such activity. I do think it's pretty funny however that they are gone from [MENTION=4487956]S4turno[/MENTION] page.

To bring back some much needed positivity, I'd just like to say thanks to [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION], whom I know for a fact has worked for many hours to provide the best GCam version possible for a device that he doesn't even own.

Pixel Visual Core

Google has started rolling out the February update, which enables the Pixel Visual Core on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. This will allow third party developers of applications that access the camera API to tap into the Visual Core hardware and access the HDR+ image processing feature that has been available in the main camera app since the beginning.

The Pixel Visual Core is a custom image processor on the Pixel 2 devices that does hardware acceleration of the various image processing algorithms, primarily the HDR+ effect, which greatly increases the dynamic range of the image while reducing noise. It also includes RAISR, which uses machine learning to upscale digitally zoomed images and make them sharper.

All of these effects were available to the main camera app since the beginning but third party apps that accessed the camera could only take a standard picture without any of this additional processing, which greatly affected the image quality as the Pixel 2 camera without the HDR+ processing really isn't anything to write home about. Developers can now modify their apps to access this hardware if their app supports taking picture so their app can also take the same high quality images as the main camera app.

First of all I am very surprised about [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] , why are you not giving credit to [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] and mostly @b-s-g who provided base for all to work on. I am not saying you are copying and pasting. You are also developing. But the credit should be given that's humanity . It will make you as a human more better, respectable giving budding developers credit and appreciation. So that people also remember you as a good developer but also a great human. And I disagree with your thought about [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] for his wife nagle contribution. If that was just a code why did not anybody developed it first. Sometimes small thing make a large impact----- that is the same case with wide angle. I am not pointing any of your developing skills I respect you as a developer and your work. Your work is great??. And one more thing people ask you on your creativity answer them by doing something that is not possible till date(like fused stabilisation(eis+ois) . Many developers tried but no one get it work. I t will prove your creativity and skills to all who pointed it out. (If only you make it possible). And please don't answer like you don't need to prove or you are not interested as a true developer is, who not only develop for own but for all and help all with their problems

The situation is very amusing. I got insulted in public a few times by [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] (this guy has a total lack of respect) and also by [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION].

I put the things clear now.

We're modifying protected code written by Google. As far as I know, our findings and development here they have been done here on Open Source basis.

I share everything with everybody and everybody is free to use it as they they want

. That's how Open Source projets work!. However, Arnova and cstark they refuse that. As far as I know, nor Arnova's or cstark's code is protected (opposite to Google). So I ask a question: Why in an Open Source projet we should mention credits? Common guys, you're not serious!

The six versions were built from Original Google code. That's why all lines are documented with '.line' and '.prologue' (apparently cstark hasn't work with original Google code, otherwise he should know that). The lines of code have been modified by me, with my own code and Open Source code. I don't need to make credits for that. I don't expect any credit for all the work I've done.

To end, the six versions are the best versions available today for the LG G6. Instead of giving to other members the possibility to enjoy the most stable and clean versions exiting today (only 23/7397 files from original Google code have been touched) they just want stop my versions and create a bad reputation for me with no reason. All this tells a lot about these two guys and about their real motivations.

Nothing else to say.

PS: Celso, if you respect Open Source projets, you should put back my versions on your page because they have the same right to be there.

My thread with all my mods https://xdaforums.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177

I'm going to ask LG to copy the HDR + codes for their application, it's true anyway if we figured out how to do it.

It's normal if is LG will write them from zero so no problem, why they do not.

There are iphone apps that are great, why android does not make similar apps anyway the codes will be different.

I read a great developer who said even if the app is similar it is not a copy because he wrote from scratch.

Why give of credit if is I write them (maybe because I saw them, no).

Google Camera is not open source.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tosslehoff:
Lol @ the idiots complaining about not being credited on an open source project.

Google Camera is not open source. It is a form of respect to give credit (for creation, modification, improvement).

Now imagine if I would develop as BSG, only for my device (I would not talk about this lack of respect is this developer would do anything else).

Me that is seen app be strengthened to be used only for google devices.

Future versions will be even more complex to modify for use on your device.

So, if you find it silly to ask respect for all the time that are agreed to make you happy.

And because of nobody like that the dev leaves xda......

Very nice to see about Arnova version.. look at this..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arnova8G2:
Especially since pixel2mod was written from scratch and is completely different from any existing version, but BSG remains the main developer because the code to activate the hdr + was written by him.

So, I would never be sure to say that I did it, I attribute this simple code to BSG.

For pixel2mod

I activate the hdr+ with motorola shamu (compatible with many devices)

I activate all modules pixel 2 (motion photo, portrait mode ect ..)

I activate the config rear camera to taimen (Image is sharp is not blurry)

Hdr+ image processing (is optional nexus 6 auto, nexus 6p, pixel 2017)

ihk.smali for activate the hdr +

cok.smali for activate config

dil.smali for hdr+ image processing

All credit for this find are from BSG, the rest is indicated in the screenshot if above.
