OK, I have enabled fix color, quit app, killed it and started again. Took the same set of pictures and got these results:

1. HDR+ Auto, color fix disabled - snow is white, lamps are orangeish, sky is gray

2. HDR+ Enhanced, color fix disabled - snow is grenish/blueish, lamps are orange/yellowish, sky is purple (looks almost like if there was a storm coming), shadows have magenta/pink tint

3. HDR+ Enhanced, color fix enabled - snow looks similar to the #2, lamps are somewhere in between #1 and #2, sky is grey, but darker than #1, shadows have way less magenta/pink tink.

So overall the 'color fix for LG' works and really makes a difference. Judging from the three pictures I took, the 'color fix' is somewhere in between HDR+ Auto and HDR+ Enhanced. My impression was that it will be even closer to the HDR+ Auto in terms of colors, but simply better handle dynamic range.

In the HDR+ Auto I can clearly see the snow is blown out, while with HDR+ Ehnahnce it's not. However I assume it is a trade-off here.

One thing that makes me wonder is, how come the Shamu (Nexus 6) model handles colors in HDR+ Enhanced perfectly, while Taimen (Pixel 2XL ) causes magenta/pink tint in low light. Some of you may remember that I tested extensively previous BSG versions, specifically regarding the color reproduction under low light (very low light) conditions and Nexus 6 (at that time) model was a clear winner. It was giving the same color with HDR+ Auto and HDR+ Enhanced, without any magenta/pink tint. So basically the only differences between those two modes where longer time required for taking picture and better dynamic range handling by HDR+ Enhanced.

Any way you guys can explain where does this Shamu/Taimen difference come from in terms of having magenta/pink tint in low light? How come Shamu doesn't have it?

Thanks!

The highly requested wide angle now works on our g6 with hdr+ "enhanced". Not disrespectful to any other dev but [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] you have done it which is not done by anyone at yet.

cstark27 v3 wide angle beta 1

cstark27 v3 wide angle beta 1

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).

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_TAT_v3_wide_beta1.apk

-Separate APK based off cstark27 v3

-Fix front camera crash

-Change "config" to Nexus 6P (ZSL on the wide angle does not process HDR+ currently, so this ensures the user always gets HDR+ processing)

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_TAT_v3_wide_beta1_lineage.apk

Changelog:

cstark27 v3 wide angle alpha

-Separate APK based off cstark27 v3

-ALPHA version of wide angle support

cstark27 v3

-fix G6 video (and probably other Android 7.0 devices) thanks to Arnova8G2

-add LG G6 Color Fix option under advanced thanks to Arnova8G2

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.)

-Uncheck camera:enable_micro by default to increase stability (turn back on and test if you want. Enabling this enables Motion Photos for Oreo only(?)

cstark27 v2

-fixed video on Pixel configs for LG V30

cstark27 v1

-based off Scrubber's APK

-forced model of front camera to Nexus 6P for proper HDR+ Processing and color (thanks BSG)

-rear model is set to Taimen

Thank you so much Arnova8G2! Your notes really helped me understand what I was looking at. I did try the suggestion but the phone did not like it. I ended up with

const/4 v0, 0x1 <---- [B]We count from 1 (front camera)[/B]

:goto_0
if-ge v0, v4, :cond_1

aget-object v5, v2, v0

new-instance v6, Ligc;

invoke-static {v5}, Ligc;->a(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Integer;

move-result-object v7

invoke-direct {v6, v5, v7}, Ligc;-><init>(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Integer;)V

invoke-interface {v3, v6}, Ljava/util/List;->add(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

add-int/lit8 v0, v0, 0x1 <---- [B]Increase by 1, to end at ID 2 (wide angle camera)[/B]

goto :goto_0

This fixes it so the front cam and rear cam works. At the moment it's looking like a separate app is needed, and to me is much faster than digging in the settings to enable/disable wide angle anyway.

[MENTION=8686186]Mohsen_alinezhad[/MENTION] Portrait Mode still works on my V30, so hopefully on the G6 too. The capture speed from the rear is MUCH slower so hold your phone still, longer than you normally do.

Thanks for the kind words all, please remember without Arnova8G2, BSG, Scrubber, CameraNX developer, and of course Google, we would all not be here. I am akin to a script kiddy, those are the masters. :good:

Google Camera 5.1.018 by ArtZ

NOTE: Build for the LG G6 based on BSG mod Google Camera

'We are our own best advocates', as the saying goes.

This build based on Pixel 2 XL (Taimen) works like a charm on the LG G6 and should work on other models such as LG V30 and some Xiaomi models. Compatible with Oreo 8.1. Highlights are improved.

All Google options from stock version will be found in main Camera settings menu. Added functionalities by BSG are placed in 'Advanced settings' tab. For those using localized Android versions (not in English), all Google options will appear in their own language; only advanced options are only in English.

No color cast, even in contrejour inside a low light room and when 'HDR+ enhanced' is ON.

I don't think I will continue to develop the application. I just wanted a stable version for myself. Everything is working. I'm very happy with the results.

No publicity either. No links to my posts on XDA.

Enjoy it!

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Whatever you like. On the LG G6 you need to activate 'Color cast correction' to get best colors. You don't need to adjust 'Developers settings'.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Hey ArtZ thanks for dropping your version!

Two questions if you don't mind:

- what does color correction do?

- does HDR work with front camera for you? I just tried it and even though HDR+ was enabled (Auto, Enhanced) the pictures were not processed at all.

Thanks!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
No hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced doesnot seem to work. I think artz modified arnova pixel2mod with his color correction. That is my prediction. Maybe story is different. I thought all such because its behaviour is same as above mentioned.. Value are probabily the last values artz mentioned after cstark color fix version. Hope it helps

I'm already using your modified apk for regular camera with angler_angler_taimen and it works like a charm. If we could get the angler_angler_angler (you said that ZSL currently doesn't work with taimen config) version for the wide angle that would be awesome.

im so lost hahahahhaha so many mods hahahahha

so the best are cstark tat v3 for rear and wide (2 apps)

and both make detailed, not grainy shots and the autofocus works :D

You should have front facing and wide at 98% and back facing at 97%

Google Camera 5.1.018 by ArtZ (ver. 1a)

NOTE: Build for the LG G6 based on BSG mod Google Camera

What's new: Just a few cosmetic modifications and slightly different color settings for natural low-light environments.

The main problems with stock Google Camera application are (1) a wrong measure of light (it is not possible to set 'spot exposure metering', only 'multi point exposure metering') and (2) a sloppy AWB especially under low-light conditions. This makes very difficult to get the right color adjustment. You can get then two identical pictures taken in a 2 seconds lapse of time with different colors and exposures! I've tried to calibrate colors using only fixed WB settings. After making more than 100 tests, I have changed them a little bit the values. Under low natural light, outdoor pictures are a bit more consistent. I doubt I can go further than that.

If you want to try the new version, you can downloaded here:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] thank you for the work and so detailed explanations of the color problems with Google Camera.

Just tried your latest version and HDR+ doesn't work with front camera, similarly to the first version you dropped yesterday.

If the front HDR+ worked your version would be probably the best for our LG's as it has both modes: lens blur and portrait mode.

Any chance that could be fixed?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Thanks.

Personally, I really don't care about HDR+ in front camera. On the other hand, I do care about colors. My version is unpretentious. I build it with my own personal preferences and just for my personal use. But if someone likes it, he can use it.

Thanks for your work. Is there any recommendation for dev settings please?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagi77:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] could you say the best settings,

HDR+ Setting: , HDR+ JPG quality: and Lens Blur Resolutions: . "Zero Shutter Lag" Does the picture quality decrease? "Color Cast Correction" Should I switch off in bright daylight shots? Thank you for your work.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Not really. Everything is working in all modes. I recommend JPG quality 97 or 98% (not interesting going further because file size increases but quality improvement is not really noticeable). Personally, I prefer HDR+ set to 'Normal' or 'High'. Going to 'Very High' or 'Super High' doesn't make a big difference in most common situations. In low-light conditions, using 'HDR+ enhanced' is useless most of the time, except under some strong contrejour situations.

PS: Don't need to touch 'Developer Settings'. They're already set for the best configuration. Besides, if you change 'camera.op.nes' to ON, camera will crash. You have to clear application 'Data' and reconfigure it.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
ArtZ truly respect your comment and explanation. On the other hand would you consider checking why the front HDR+ doesn't work?

Our front camera really sucks and the only thing that improves it is HDR+.

I'd like to use your version as I'm convinced you put a lot of effort into calibrating colors.

I'm not kind of selfie person, but sometimes take pictures with my family and then the only way to make it ok it's to use front camera.

That being said if your version had HDR working in front, that would be just perfect replacement for our stock camera, especially due to color tweaking you made.

Thanks a lot!

I read those words before and I can only repeat them!! you guys are AMAZING!! thank you so much for the work you're doing, LG should pay you all for making the G6 such a better phone!!

the photos with your gcam versions are like day and night with the stock camera! now I can't stop taking photos!!

the only "but" it's that everytime it makes a photo, it makes a folder, but I don't care, that's so small compared to the quality we have now thanks to your work!! <3 <3 <3 <3

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

with the wide angle camera working with the gcam, I don't use selfie anymore! you can take very good and wide selfie with the back camera... try it, you don't even have to "frame" everyone, because it's so wide that you (almost) always let everyone on the picture!!

who needs front camera when you have so amazing wide angle back camera?? :D :D :D

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Understood ArtZ. Either way thank you very much for the work and effort you put into making color calibration better for our phones.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Two test versions playing with blue/yellow color. Differences are minimal with ver. 1a

mod edit: links removed due to no credits

If someone having a LG G6 could give me his advice between the three versions, it will be great.

Pictures must be seen on a computer monitor. LG G6 screen calibration is set to ~8000°K (optimal is 6200-6500°K) which make images cool (blue). Pictures with ver. 1a look much nicer in a color calibrated monitor (colors are real).

In each version I have increased yellow color and reduced blue color to make them to look a bit warmer. So, ver. 1b is a bit warmer than ver. 1a and ver. 1c is a bit warmer than ver. 1b. If I go warmer, some green cast appears on shadows.

As I'm really into it, I've reached a point where it's difficult to remain objective, so your impressions are important.

Please, test both versions in HDR+ and HDR+ enhanced modes and under different lightening (indoors, outdoors, low-light...)

Thank you for your comments.
