I just tried out this new version and I gotta say, this is just incredible! Without a doubt the best version for the G6.

Quick question though what phone is it using for the model?

Seams to have sharper (better focus) images than previous versions by Arnova & ArtZ on G6.

That is great!

Is it placebo or anyone else noticed that?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Also, on the Pixel2Mod I noticed that after the shot is taken, there is a longer processing time when viewing the photo during which the screen goes black until its finished. Anybody else?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thepouroverguy:
Hi - Amazing version Thank you! Is there any way to enable HDR+ for the front camera on the G6. It's quite shocking how bad LG's processing is for the front camera, but the previous GCam versions that had HDR+ on the front camera enabled made a massive massive difference :)

Thank you once again

Hey, ArtZ, do you have any idea why Lens Blur doesn't show up as an option in the app? Don't know about anyone else but I only have Portrait mode along with Panorama, Slow Motion etc. Is it because of my variant?

I try [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] version, but it always quit out when disable front HDR+. Pls fix this.

Thanks!

With all respect to all devs I believe Cstark v3.1 is far better in any ways.

I appreciate all devs hard work.

there is one issue with all devs versions . in portrait mode the highlights are overexposed. And I don't know if it is fixable or not
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Postmanpl:
Belive? You can belive only when you have no proof ;) Did You test more versions? Maybe some comparition?

I'm testing latest Artz (Taimen and Shamu) versions and Arnova8G2 latest beta.

Arnova8G2 has no HDR on front camera, but seems stable. Maybe I do some photo comparition.

Do you have oreo on lg g6? As I know AR stickers works on android 8 only, and acore is for api27.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] can you port ar stickers for android 7 on lg g6?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
Yes 8.0, all ar sticker working fine but not new one. Btw I am on custom rom
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergykm:
LOS oreo for lg g6 is semi stable...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
Yep that is fact but for assuring I have one plus 3t too and I got same results. So I think might be new winter edition ar sticker are coded in such a way that it only works on pixel devices. If we can spoof then I think there is a chance. Or [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] can do something about it.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohsen_alinezhad:
:D

I have tested almost all versions in both low and good light situations. And I am no dev nor an expert. Just another user seeking a perfect cam app that makes me satisfied. and you could see that I said "I beleive" and that is just for me and my taste. ;)

By the way, I tested arnovaG2, Cstark, BSG and artz's recently.

Hi what version do you have like perfect for you?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohsen_alinezhad:
Actually non of em is perfect . but fortunately its in the right direction toward perfection. I currently am pleased with cstark's v3.1 and I assure you that I am not taking sides. I choose the Gcam mod which suits me.

There are some minor issues though but it's ok for my taste for now.

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.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] pretty awesome version, but actually photos with HDR+ Enhanced is still purple tinted. :/

Here is a photo example. Color of the lamp on the desk is yellow/white, photo is too much purple. I'm waiting to fix that.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your work!

btw also portrait mode worked a little better in [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] version, I think

Doesnt work on my g6 h870 rooted with stock rom

Crash all the time
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] directx1971:
The normal lens is excellent as the last release before it but what i have noticed right away is the difference in sharpness/focus in the wide angle app

in the previous release the focus was average giving a medium sharpness also the Vignetting and Chromatic Aberration were very noticeable , also

There was a very big loss in sharpness near the edges to the point that the farthest third part of the lens was blurred but i thought that was normal giving the

Wide angle nature and the fact that the HDR+ module is written for another sensor so it won't fix those issues , But now all these issue are solved

I have noticed right away an excellent sharpness across all the image with nearly no Vignetting or Chromatic Aberration , Excellent work

i am assuming that the new HDR+ processing you changed is more suitable for the LG G6.

Somehow using stock camera app I get more precise and natural colors.

First picture - stock camera HDR on.

Second picture - cstark27 v3.3 HDR+ on ZSL (not enhanced)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
Not sure if you've uploaded the wrong photo. I looked at it on my Pixel 2, V30, and laptop and didn't see any purple tint. I think it looks good. But either way, the issue is not forgotten. ?

In certain lighting, the resulting GCam colors from the wide angle from my V30 can be rather terrible, but in other lighting looks perfect. The wide angle lens probably needs to go through quite a few iterations of tests with different models and configs to find the best combo. At the moment this is not possible at a user level on the wide angle apps.

What's the best version for the g6 now then... One of ARTZ 3 varients? Stark or arnova? :$
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
You've quoted my post from 2 months ago, a lot (!) has changed since...

If you're using an LG G6, I urge you to try [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]'s latest versions both for the normal and for the wide angle cameras.

Those are the best versions by far for the G6 and require little to no setting up.

+1 to his request Il_Demiurgo

Also from what I read till now the cstark27 version does not support front camera HDR+ is that true or not?

Also which version do you recommend specially for the front camera.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
The cstark version does use hdr+
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zander_:
I installed it and didn't notice many features above the standard portrait / panorama stuff, is it the extra HDR controls that are appealing?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Il_Demiurgo:
I've tested cstark front camera and i can say that only "wide front camera" is usable, however the difference is very impressive. Here I'll post some examples (photos with signature were made with stock camera).

P.S.: I would not post human subject for privacy reasons but without it you probably would not have the best camparison
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajai_dev:
Very nicely done will reinstall the cstark version yes the impact is quite a lot. The stock app seems to have some beautification thing switched on. Never the less the developers have my thanks for the progress and by the way how are you finding the stability of the app?

Do you use the Wide angle version one as your main go too for GCam, also does it have the front camera mode too. Wide angle and Front camera are the two which would benefit the most in my view with the GCam.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Il_Demiurgo:
I've noticed quite micro-lag moving with the camera, due to the super-high hdr+ setting... There are also some condition in which stock back camera is better (I'll attach one example). I agree with you about front modded camera that always wins against the stock one.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobychau:
Cstark sir, your version of the camera is superb with fantastic result (testing on my g6), I just want to say that off the start. however i have some question which i am wondering and hope u can tell me a bit more.

I installed some previous version which have the len blur function, which require shifting the phone up and also with some manual adjustment option available. (the edge detection is often a hit or miss... not very stable)

With the Cstark version, lens blur is replaced with portrait mode. Everything is auto, no shifting phone up is needed and also no manual adjustment option after the photo is took.

The edge detection is USUALLY excellent, I am guessing it is because face detection is used in the background?

This excellent result seem to be being limited to portrait only... (face is needed), and seems like with out an actual face, background blur can not be processed.

would it be possible to have Both function? IE the excellent portrait mode as well as the less perfect lens blur mode for non face picture?

I am just wondering.. not really requesting.

(btw LG should hire people like u guys... such excellent job u guys had done)

It is really disappointing that this community has decided to remove and block all links and consequently to block the development of the application of [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION], I am very sad because of this, because regardless of everything has been much appreciated and appreciated by all users of Lg g6, I hope you can change your mind. Currently the best versions for LG G6 as mentioned above are precisely those of @ cstark27 and [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION], I had considered selling my g6 because of the poor camera, but thanks to you I have reevaluated everything, even the main camera now it's great. I hope you take my appeal into consideration! Thank you all for your attention and sorry for my English which is fully translated with Google [emoji23]

Arova version has problems with magenta in HDR Enchanced. Look at the photo. I try settings: Pixel 2017 and AUTO. Same results.

I also make some shots in low light in HDR+. In this mode imho cstark has more noise than Arnova version, and Arnova has better quality in low light in HDR+, but worse in HDR Ench. I need to compare it to Artz vesrions.

Goog light - both versions are good. Low light - Arnova is better, but only in HDR+

Front camera is better in cstark version (has HDR). Potrait mode works really good

There is no one good camera mod in all aspects.

Problem with Artz is that we have too many versions (Taimen, Angler, Shamu), there are also versions from cstark, Arnova..., so we really dont know what to choose ;)

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]:

first of all, thank you very much for all the time you spent creating good and stable versions of Gcam.

It was found by someone (probably here) that the best combination for LG G6 is a Nexus 5X (Bullhead) model with Pixel 2016 Tuning HDR+ config. Bullhead provides a very sharp although noisy output, while Pixe 2016 is the best for noise reduction. I was using Pixel 2XL + Pixel 2017 config before, and was quite happy with it, tried Nexus 6P + Nexus 6 Auto too, happy with it too (a bit less, although), but I have to admit that Bullhead + Pixel 2016 combination gives the quickest and sharpest result. What makes it really stand out from other configs is a lightning-fast autofocus.

I am acutally using Bullhead+Pixel2016 on an original B-S-G version but some nice features don't work with it (like front-camera portrait mode).

So, would it be possible to include this config in your builds, since you make them compatible with G6 and in your versions every feature is working?

Thanks in advance

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryptecks:
This thread has pretty much everything that makes XDA both amazing and one of the most annoying places on the internet. People started further tinkering on someone else's work, one was asked respectfully by their peers to adhere to at least something close to an open-source/attribution mindset, and chose to fight and get proven as no better than a kanger. That person, and/or moderators trying to cleanup a nightmare of a thread, pulls anything they can back from the community without which the tinkering would not happen. Then comes the third part of the cycle, where people endlessly ***** and ask for people to PM them links to things removed by the mods, which throws the entire thread off-track, and results in it getting shut down by the mods.

It's pretty easy to forget, but when this all blew up, all the person in question had to do was anything similar to cstark, just a ****ING credits/shoutout screen in the app, and this ALL would have gone away immediately. But no, the ego was too strong. Sigh...

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
Probably tomorrow. 3.4 is almost done but since Artz deleted his files, and you guys are left without a decent version for low light + enhanced, I'll put the custom colors back in from one of my old versions, until a better fix is found. I'm also going to switch the wide angle back to non-ZSL because ZSL config is not working 100% correctly...highlights are barely tamed whereas on a Pixel 2, the ZSL highlights are much better. If ZSL is ever fixed then it would make sense to re-enable ZSL on the wide angle but at the moment it's not producing very good photos and I think that is misleading, if someone doesn't change it to Enhanced.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] basmeuter:
Do you mean one of the Artz cameras was good for low light? Which one, I thought your version was the best. Haven't tried every version, but got magenta cast on the most.

I've got all Artz last apps that appeared here on my phone, can I post the link of my mega upload here?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
Most of those versions are mine + a color setting I took away a couple versions ago (and further tweaked). The color setting adjusts the black level in HDR+ Enhanced which is where most G6 owners see a purple color on dark areas. I didn't bother putting the color setting back in because I wanted to find a different fix. I don't have a G6 so I can't offer a personal opinion. However from what [MENTION=3267278]Mefiboshet[/MENTION] has tested plenty of times is on my versions you have a decent chance of getting a non purple photo if you take a second HDR+ Enhanced photo right after the first, or tap to set exposure on a brighter area of the scene. That's not true 100% of the time so just experiment.

I don't know what's the deal behind his missing Drive links and or if the mods here did something so I have no idea on your last question.
