Potrait mode of pixel 2 working on g6. Wow

Yes you heard right i found an xamera nx version which will work on lg g6 android 7.0 potrait mode but only in rear camera (soon i hope will get another one with both camera working) only just you need to install and run apk.its not fully stablebut potrait mode works like a champ. Only one trick-

after clicking potrait mode picture dont open gallary till 5-6 seconds otherwise you will a broken file. As i am a new user i cannot post outside link. Sorry .

But you can download it by seraching -CAMERA NX POTRAIT PORT ON GOOGLE and download it from 1 st link then change its min sdk to 23 from 26. Yippy you ready to rock link updated

That's because potrait mode in Arnova's porting works only with rear camera at the moment, as is written here: https://www.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-portrait-mode-port-non-google-android-oreo/

Hi [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] you asked this device_info from Camera2 Test. So here it is for LG G6 (H870).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TTmagic:
Hi [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

This is device info from LG G6 - (G600L) running on Android 7.0

I hope you'll make a stable version for our device. I've tried GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3-Front-HDR+, but it doesn't seems stable.

Thank you alot.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
Hi [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

Please make a fully stable version for lg g6 with front potrait mode and a little more request - please add wide angle support in hdr+ mode so wide angle quality and details increase sometime it very bad specially low and artificial light. Whatsapp can access wide angle so i think you can add support with little tweak;)

And please add 4k video support from pixel 2 so we can enjoy stable 4k and 1080p video footage in our devices. Thanks in advance.

Portrait mode with a wide angle lens?.. Why?..[emoji849]
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
Not potrait mode sir. Why would be you demanding for it [MENTION=2004617]demid[/MENTION]ev should be asking for hdr+ support on wide angle so our wide angle images came out to be better in terms of details and clarity and not washed out. I hope you now understand:angel:

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 AM ----------

Dont request for potrait mode on wide angle as it will be useless because our images will look wshed out not and much clearity also in pics. Only ask to add just hdr+ support on wide angle. Anybody reading this post please do add support. It will sure be possible.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
Being able to use GCam with the wide-angle camera would indeed be awesome, but I fear that adding that functionality may well be beyond the scope of this mod.

This is due to the fact that none of the devices officially designated by Google to support GCam (with HDR+) use multiple rear cameras.

I very much hope to be proven wrong...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
Thanks for your response. But it may be done with treating wide angle camera as not additional multiple back camera but a full fledged back camera itself. May be in a separate option in settings like potrait mode,model, configure, parameter like. I dont know much about coding but mapping wide angle code may do the functioning. Or a gcam app which uses only wide angle as main camera can do this. So we can install along with another gcam app with uses regular camera. So we can enjoy both functioning. Hope this helps;)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryptecks:
That's not how any of this works. The wide-angle lens is behind an encrypted API that only LG has the private key(s) to. It can't be accessed by Google Cam, or any other non-LG camera app. If/when someone cracks that key (very, very unlikely), LG could easily update it in the next system update they push out, and it would be back to square-one for that developer, along with a cease and desist letter from LG more than likely. Not trying to disappoint anyone, but it's never going to happen, and is far outside the scope of what any of these Gcam modifications do.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hadi99:
I agree that it is difficult for Gcam to support it, but there are third party camera apps that can use the wide angle lens. (Ex: WhatsApp)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryptecks:
Open Camera and Snap HDR both just pipe through the sensor data from the same place LG's app does. I should have clarified a bit. We're not going to get the combination of Google Camera's features from the Pixel/Pixel 2 that these mods allow (better HDR, possibly portrait mode, etc) our G6 to use and get to use the wide angle lens. Unless someone writes essentially a full clone of LG's image processing techniques from that lens (I guess that is technically possible), while also keeping it compatible with the changes made to Gcam on Russian forums.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
Potrait mode is not required as it will be useless. Only hdr+ needed to enhace colour and clarity. I dont know much about coding if a third party app like whatsapp can access wide camera then a port (if possible) in which main camera is only wide angle may be developed. Thanks for your response. Highly appreciative your efforts and knowledge:good:
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
This is a good explanation and makes a lot of sense.

But...

I've just confirmed that Open Camera is able to shoot raw/DNG wide angle shots.

This (to the best of my knowledge) indicates that it has access to the data coming straight out of the sensor.

Surely that should suffice in order perform whatever processing is needed for HDR+.

Again, not expecting to see HDR+ for the wide-angle any time soon, but I'm more inclined to believe that this is simply due to the lack of a 2nd rear camera on officially Google supported devices (similar to the inability to save images to external storage).

Or is there something I'm missing here?

Hello all,

I'm giving a try to the latest version MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+ (BSG, 2018-01-06) on the LG-H870. First impressions are really encouraging. I'm a bit skeptical about the portrait mode which uses a digital zoom and thus less detail and resolution. Portrait mode will be a great option on a optical zoom camera but I really don't see any interest on a digital zoom camera : you can get better results cropping and enlarging the image with Photoshop.

I have also tested the latest versions from [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] but they're full of bugs and they doesn't work properly. I think I'm over on Arnova8G2 versions. IMHO they do not apport anything to BSG versions and they are not really stable.

Portrait mode of working properly can help with the focus problem that we have with GCam when taking pictures of people/animals.

Simply speaking it is hard to take photo of a person or dog that is perfectly focused...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Hello [MENTION=1606575]vitoski[/MENTION],

Two things:

1.- I haven't found the problem. What's your setting 'camera.shot_tracking' on 'Developers Settings'? Maybe this a due to 'Developers Settings' but we don"t have any explanation about these settings.

2.- Even if it can help with the focus problem, it's not a proper solution because you lose FOV and definition (due to digital zoom)

Regards

Hello,

For the moment I'm using the default settings. I have just modifed the camera to 'Pixel 2XL (Taimen) and, on 'Developers Settings' , disabled 'camera.af.debug.show' and enabled 'camera.use_photos', 'camera.faceboxes', 'camera.enable_hwhdr' and 'camera.enable_vesper'.

If I use MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+ (BSG, 2018-01-06) with Pixel 2XL, & HDR+ On(Enhanced), I get a very persistent pink tint, so I just use Nexus 6P.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
I dont see a point to use hdr+ enhanced because hdr+ gets the job done. Its also noticable that hdr+ makes things a little overexposed. So to overcome that problem we need to manually underexpose by -0.3 to get good results. Also hdr+ enhanced do a better job in day light and good light in night like party and restraunts, so it gets job done there as it process more and we get more dynamic range and details.

Very Low light its worthless due to pink tint and hdr+ gets me good results much better than lg stock camera app. Also i like pixel 2 xl over 6p model settings because in 6p we get much more noise which is all tge way not good on looking picture at first glace. Only in zooming we can see details otherwise we see noise. In pixel 2xl setting we get a better overall look, a little less detail but also a smaller size. Also pics from 2xl looks a little like professional pics :good::fingers-crossed. Give it a try

My settings using MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+ (BSG, 2018-01-06)

Hi all,

I found something really interesting on MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+ (BSG, 2018-01-06) to focus problem on people and animals (see message from [MENTION=8821460]Vkboy[/MENTION]).

If you enable 'camera.op.nes' on 'Developers Settings'', when you touch the screen to set a focus point, the focus circle remains on, thus focus point doesn't change. The person or animal will be spot on.

I have tried many settings. My final choices for this version is on the picture.

Too much noise compared to MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+ (BSG, 2018-01-06). Application has been built using configuration for the 'Angler' (Nexus 6P) (impossible to chose other configuration). With the LG-H870 the best results are using 'Taimen' (Pixel 2 XL) configuration.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TTmagic:
Thank you and Scrubber, it works perfectly on LG G6. But I wonder if it can take "portrait" photos with objects that not is human. As I know, Google Pixel 2 XL can take a photo in portrait mode with objects :D.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
yes true noisy but stable too. I would rather prefer a little noisy potrait mode and hdr+ on front and a stable version while not having. This version seems to them who just want to snap pics without taking too much time and with all feature working. Hope a better version may soon come with 2xl as default. Fingers cross. Thanks for your response [MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

True that google pixel 2xl can take potrait shot of almost anything but it has hardware for it and google designed gcam for taking advantage of it. Its uses dual pixel technology with a gauda chip inside it to process subject from background. While in ported gcam we are seeing only the front camera algorithm which is only for taking selfies and requires a face atleast to trigger potrait blurr. You should be happy atleast we are able to take potrait mode pics both front and rear camera due to these ports. Enjoy?

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
Scrubber version is very impressive indeed, but no ZSL or is there something I'm missing?

Regarding Angler vs Taimen, it is true that Angler is much noisier, but it is also the mode with the highest auto-focus hit rate.

Not sure why.

P.S.

With HDR+ working with front cam, it's now my preferred way of taking wide(r) angle shots.

Quite sad that LG image processing (and optics with the 2.09mm version) are so poor, that the slow 5mp front camera pictures using HDR+ look better than the fast 13mp rear camera using LG cam...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vkboy:
No you are not misding anything zls doesnot work here as it is not a zls version but the processing is all the way faster from almost a versions.

The focus seems better because in taimen(pixel 2xl) it uses dual pixel autofocus pdaf while angler(6p) it uses laser autofocus. And as our g6 has only pdaf focus technique, no dual pixel and thus only has single focusing technique. Devices with dual pixel seems to focus better like s7 ,s8,note 8 etc with taimen as setting. I hope it helped.

You are right that lg image processing is like a joke in front of google cam processing. Lets hope we get a version which uses wide angle for hdr+ shots

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

That is Because because pixel 2 has a wide angle lens and also not a secondary lens foe foregroung and background info details. It use artificial intelligence along with software learning and info from dual pixels to separate subject and background and create depth effect. Its done in post processing. As it uses wide angle lens of focal length 26-28mm it crops so to make job easy of depth creating. Hence it crops to get the subject closer and do its job with out any distortions. I hope it helped
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
In low light conditions the front camera is not usable with Scrubber's version. Noise, noise, noise... lots of noise! A selfie taken in low light with such version is only usable on a smartphone screen. Actually, with LG Cam (using HDR) is really much better.

Regards,
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
Certainly more noise than LG cam (which looks like someone melted wax all over it).

Also, quite a pronounced red tint with the front cam in low light.

Still, there is just so much detail that don't mind fixing the white balance and doing some NR in post.

Until something better becomes available, I think I'm sticking with this version for now.

Stable, simple, fast (so fast that I don't even mind the lack of ZSL too much), good detail and relatively reliable auto-focus.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] markomil:
Scrubber version has portrait mode which really does make pixel style portraits, it works, yes, BUT for me, the pictures are too noisy, too much grain.

Next i tried the nx camera 7.3 (mentioned a bit earlier), which wasnt stable at all. Crashed 5 times while trying to take a test picture of my room in good lighting.

Color reproduction is good on both, although i speak mostly about the scrubber as nx crashed so many times...

The hdr for the front cam works on both but for now im staying with the AllInOne v18 which proves to be best in quality (apart from blue tint) and really stable.

Ive chosen AllInOne for myself as it is a fast shooter, but scrubber is currently the best, as it has best front, most features (lacks motion), and color reproduction is on point.

If you dont mind grains, go for the scrubb

Hope this helps you decide, but i do recommend trying all of them yourself!

If he is not going to add config options and you are in touch with him please say to make a stable version of gcam having configs of taimen(pixel 2xl ) as it has ois same as lg g6 and 1.8f aperture also , so we get best results possible with g6 on gcam port possible. Also ask him to make noise reduction more aggressive as pixel 2 has bigger pixel size than g6 causing noisy image. Also if he cam add 4k support with pixel 2xl stabilisation algorithm than it will be great too. Thanks in advance. Hope for soon reply.

Hi,

I am using the same setting, and I have sometimes photos that do not save properly.

Instead of the photo, I get a corrupted file :/

I also noticed that with the previous apk I was using : MGC_5.1.018_7.0+C2API_min_3a_AllinOne

I am not sure what cause this, maybe when I minimize the app just after a photo, but it seems to also happen randomly...

Any idea what is the cause, or how to avoid it ?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
I've never encountered this issue. Weird.

BTW, have you set to 'Yes' -> 'Modify system settings' on 'Settings -> Applications -> Camera' ? I've read somewhere in the Russian forum that changing the default setting from 'No' to 'Yes' can solve some issues. My Russian is pretty awful so I cannot explain more. In any case, I have changed on my LG-H870 the default setting from 'No' to 'Yes'.

Hope that helps.

I'm extremely happy with MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+ (BSG, 2018-01-06) and I was very happy with MGC_5.1.018_7.0+C2API_min_3a_AllinOne (BSG, 2017-12-13). Those are my favorite versions. I've never had any problem with these versions.

Are you sure you're using MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+ (BSG, 2018-01-06)? If so, clean application "Data" and "Cache". Maybe you have incorrect parameters in memory from another version.

EDIT : Concerning the battery it's absolutely normal. HDR+ uses a lot of ressources. This concerns all smartphones (Nexus and Pixel included) and it's not a bug. Besides using high quality JPG et HDR+ set to 'HIGH', it uses more battery.
