Nice! is there an optimized setting for OP3T users, or the default one is good enough? Since most are set on Auto ? thanks again for this awesome work ?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
I don't know, I didn't try it yet and I have nothing to do with the app. If it's working, the colours and the exposure are good, there's no need to change settings. You can also take a picture with another gcam mod and with this one, then compare it afterwards. You can also post it here for other users

Bug 7.2 & 7.3

Are below items known issue, all dev version are same:

1. Gcam 7.2 - front camera crash

2. Gcam 7.3 - video not recorded

Only 6.2 can be use on my OP3 Android 9
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
Are you using Google Photos as gallery app? Or is it enabled? If so, make sure it's up-to-date, clean the app data, restart, and see if videos from 7.3 are displayed again.

Arnova8G2 wants to know if it's a problem caused by Google Photos.

Update from Tolyan009: GCam 7.3.020_v1.1

- Gcam_7.3.020_v1_TlnNeun.apk (Tolyan009, 2020-05-14)

Apparently this version works on Android 9? Can someone test?

Photos and videos work fine.. Night sight also works.. Slow Motion is not working.. Portrait mode has this weird bug where it cuts your face and instead of blurring the background it replaces it with white background.. Device: OnePlus 3T, OS: OOS 9.0.6 (Pie)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
Tested on LOS16 with magisk module and compared to his latest GCam 6 Mod:

nice whitebalance

portrait, photo and video worked

normal issue with gcam7 to view the photos without google photos

video isn't visible in oneplus gallery, can open it only over a filemanager (playback works)

photoresolution is 4656x3496 and with gcam6 it's 4640x3480

faster to save hdr+

edit:

without Google Photo it's working if you deactivate it in advanced settings. But it's a strange gallery.

night sight worked perfect, but couldn't find astrophotography

Update from Tolyan009: GCam 7.3.020_v1.1b

- Gcam_7.3.020_v1.1b_TlnNeun.apk (Tolyan009, 2020-05-16)

Android 9+, but some users on stock OOS can't see recorded videos using GCam 7.3.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
I have updated the main post with the latest compatible 7.3 for this phone (Arnova, Tolyan, Urnyx). I added two notes, one about the video issue on OOS 9 and the GPhotos requirement.

Tolyan and Arnova are the only ones with the phone, so they're probably the best choice. I'd probably use Tolyan as he also mods the lib to improve image quality.

For everyone still using stock OxygenOS, use GCam 6 if you want stability or consider moving to a custom ROM (eg: LineageOS 17) as 7.3.x works better on Android 10.

Slow Motion... It now works on Arnova's version without any fix. However, it's a low FPS video, not as smooth as stock slow motion and since the fix maintained by MarcAnt01 only works well on Android 8 and some Android 9 ROMs, the solution is to either use Arnova's low FPS slow motion or to use the Nokia camera app just for this:

- com.hmdglobal.camera2_8.1041.71-linuxct-8104171.apk

I have updated the FAQ's about slow motion to suggest this app too.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
Not only on OOS, I can't see the recorded videos on LOS16 too
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:

I got good quality photos on this version; however, the video recording is somewhat lagging/random stutter at 60fps. No option to toggle EIS and OIS as well.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nixeus2:
Hello guys,

I'm a bit lost. I'm on Android 10 ( Evolution X Rom) on y OP3T and use the latest Arnovas Beta build.

Is the OP3 front camera fix needed to have a better OP3 front camera quality ?

Thanks :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
Test it yourself: take a picture with the front cam on Full resolution. Is it 15.9MP 4:3 or 8.3MP 16:9? Then you don't need the module. Is it less than that (4MP 4:3 or 2MP 16:9)? Then you can (but you don't have to) install the module in order to have "full resolution" pictures.

PS: this is true only for the 3T, not for the 3!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
- OP3: No fix needed, GCam uses full resolution on the front camera (8MP).

- OP3T: Without the fix, it saves 4MP photos with the front camera. With the fix, it's 16MP. Quality should be the same, only the resolution changes.

- Both phones have access to full resolution on the rear camera without the fix.

- GCam's main features work without any fixes on both phones.

Why does the 3T needs the fix and the 3 doesn't? OnePlus used a 16MP Samsung sensor on the 3T (with pixel binning, hence the 16MP -> 4MP limitation) while the 3 had a 8MP Sony sensor.

Some custom ROMs already include the fix, so before installing the module, take a picture to see if it's 4MP or 16MP.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] knpk13:
What's the point of the fix then? Unless you see a difference in quality when you zoom in.

This pixel binning stuff seems complicated, especially with newer phones with 64/108MP cameras that reviews say are worse than lower MP binned pics. Currently using Tolyan's builds on my 3T and Urynx's builds on my 7T Pro.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
Initially the fix was needed for the front camera to work on both phones, but then someone (Arnova, I believe) found a way to make it work with a fix inside GCam. So right now you only need the fix to use apps without the GCam-side fix (probably a bad idea as they aren't optimised for this phone) or to get 16MP photos with the 3T camera.

Regarding pixel binning... I don't know. I only have experience with the Sony IMX586 used by my Zenfone 6 (and many 2019 phones), but this seems to be another "megapixel war" just to sell more phones, not improve quality. Brands that care about image quality (Google and Apple, since the last iPhone) still use 12MP sensors and proper cameras are also conservative even though they can fit big sensors.

They are adding pixels, and that's good for detail, but the sensor is still small (some are bigger, but there's always a space limitation on a phone). This means that the pixels are smaller, and smaller pixels don't work well in low light. So everyone groups pixels into groups so they act as 1 (pixel binning)... Asus, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Samsung, etc. It doesn't matter if it's 48MP or 108MP, they are usually binned to 12 or 16MP by default because we don't live inside a studio with perfect light conditions.

And some of the brands I mentioned don't use hardware stabilisation to compensate for small movements. The number of blurred pictures that I take now is higher than when I had the OP3 + GCam.

The other downside of bigger sensors - for me at least - is that the area that it’s on focus is smaller. This can be useful if we take a picture that needs natural blur (eg: a portrait), but it's not always what we want (eg: taking a picture of what's on a long table). I think it was MKBHD that mentioned this on a video about the Samsung S20... it's harder, sometimes impossible, to have everything in focus.

I moved to a better phone (battery, SoC, etc) and I can get good pictures with this sensor, but sometimes it doesn't feel like an upgrade. I think it was easier to "point and shoot" with older sensors than it is with these new high MP sensors, but maybe I'm wrong.

I tried this on my OP3/OOS9.0.6 but the Night Sight only works in portrait mode. If I try to use it in the landscape mode the preview just "jumps" to some strange mode - a kind of upside down portrait but completely distorted. :confused:

I recently moved from my beloved OP3 with multiple GCAMs installed to an 8 Pro. I haven't done the GCAM thing on the 8 Pro yet. Best I understand, GCAM can't use all the cameras on the 8 Pro without root. I don't root my phones and so far am happy with the stock camera.

I quit chasing the GCAM upgrades on my OP3 a while back. I think I'm still on GCAM 6.x on it. Might have to try some newer GCAMs on the old OP3 one of these days. That was a fabulous phone!

I must say, Tolyan009's version is superb. Setting AF Mode on 1.5seconds, plus Exposure Compensation at -0.6 produce high image quality.

In terms of Video recording, they both suck as they're both choppy when recording at 60 fps. This has been a problem for so long with OP phones thus, if one wants to have a smooth video recording - staying at stock rom is a must.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] faiz5200:
Mind share all your gcam setting? Want the best quality but I have no idea what each setting for.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
I never messed up with AE Mode, but now that I did I didn't notice any difference between 64 sec. and 1/100 sec.

The picture takes the exact amount of time to be captured and seem the same to me on the final result.

What have I to be looking for?

EDIT: tested the libs and these are the results.

Focus always set to the plant on the left. The phone was never moved though the Google lib photo looks like it did.

I prefer stock by Google as the result looks sharper.

The only settings that I changed:

HDR: HDR+ On

AE Mode: 1,5 sec

Exposure compensation: 0

AWB: On - Google Pixel 4 (default)

HQ mode: On

Stock By Google | Custom TN 2505 | Custom TN 0106

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SenseSei:
If you check the floor it looks like you get the most details with the Custom TB 0106 Lib.

It's also the only one where you can see the shadow from the railing.

Edit:

The only things I miss from TInNeun/Tolyans versions are the quicksetting tiles for nightmode and portrait
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
Actually I see more detail on the floor with Google Lib because it is sharper.

I'm not sure if the shadows from the railing are a result from the lib or if the sun was brighter for a second so I made the test again and it seems not related to the libs.

And looks like the custom TN Libs make some kind of zoom.

Overall I prefer the colors from Custom TN 0106 but the sharpness and less darker photos from Google Lib. I think that it's easier to tweak the colors than the sharpness when editing.

I'll mess with the sharpness settings with Custom TN 0106 and exposure to see if I can get the best scenario.

HDR: HDR+ On

AE Mode: 1,5 sec

Exposure compensation: -0,6

AWB: On - Google Pixel 4 (default)

HQ mode: On

So I think I have now achieved the best configuration for my taste:

try to test on different scenes (nature, people, etc.), the Google library is very "synthetic", the sharpness and contrast are too high. But I do not insist)

as an example:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
I've tried on some other scenes including indoors.

I think that the TN 0106 would benefit with some more sharpness and exposure/brightness. Human skin has some brightness when reflecting light. On your Lib it looks like the skin is not reflective at all (look at the neck and ear).

A result in between of those 2 photos would look perfect to me!

With the settings I've shared on my previous post I seem to get that.

PS: thank you for your work! :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SenseSei:
Thanks for sharing your test results with us.

The new versions produces very reddish pictures in low light environments and they don't look like the reality. This is new because of the Pixel 4 AWB, changing back to Pixel 2 fixes that for me.

Personally I don't know what to do with that knowledge atm. I also test some other versions (the Nikita one is quite nice but sadly the viewfinder lags a lot. It also uses the pixel 4 AWB as default but the pictures are not reddish. Same as Wichayas version.)

Edit: I'm not sure if want to tinker with the AE and Exposure compensation settings. The pictures take much longer to take and the outcome isn't really that much better for my eyes. I'll need to test it more thoroughly tomorrow.

All 3 pictures taken with TN 0106 Lib with standard settings except HDR+ and HQ Mode.

Pixel 4 AWB | Pixel 3 AWB | Pixel 2 AWB
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
From my rapid tests on a room with warmer light, Pixel 2 AWB results in way too cold and greenish pictures. Pixel 3/3a/4 AWB seem more accurate, but I agree that they're reddish.

From the current environment I'm in right now, with a low warm light, the more accurate result is with Sony IMX363.

Update from Arnova8G2: GCam 7.3.021

GCam_5.200604.2138build-7.3.021.apk (2020-06-05)

- Changelog + download

- Download mirror

A configs page is available. This version should work on the OP3/3T, but I don't know if it's better than Tolyan's version.

To enable advanced settings, go to Menu > Learn more > Enable Mod. After a restart, a new menu called "Mods Configs Creator" will be displayed.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
Everything works fine on 3T.

I have not compared the picture results with the Tolyan's version, but Arnova version has more features and options — slow motion, Google Lens, useful quick toggles, 4k timelapse, multiple frames selector for video, etc. — so it is much better on this.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SenseSei:
That's weird, I have zero quick toggles with the new Arnova on NLos 16.

On Tolyan I have them for Video and Selfies (Nightsight and Portrait are missing compared to other mods) but on this Arnova version I don't even have Video and Selfie quick toggles.

Edit: Never mind! After a system restart the toggles are all there!

Imho the provided Config on the config page is not really useful, there are zero device specific changes (none I could find at least) and you lose acces to the "image quality" toggle from the dragdown menu after applying it.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
My opinion as a photographer is, that the sharpness from the TN lib is much better. The stock lib does sharpen the image too much in software. With the TN lib, it looks more like a DSLR photo instead of a smartphone picture. Even with sharpness set to 1.0 it has a more natural sharpness. If one photo is too soft, you can always sharpen it afterwards. I also made it 0.3 exposures brighter, but 0.6 also looks good. Everyone needs to find their right settings, but with this apk, we are near to perfect
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] data14:
I am pretty new to this, can you explain how to set these settings? thanks

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
That's why I chose TN 0106 and set sharpness to 1.0. It looks better but not as exaggerated as Google Lib. :)

I don't use video very often but 60fps on this versions seems normal to me. Not the smoothest thing like on new smartphones, but I think it is expected.

The right one

I've been watching the thread after a long time and tried your settings on the latest tolyan version and must say. I prefer the muted colors more on the right as you have room to wiggle with settings using software like snapseed. The one on the left is a little too contrasty. Some people prefer it like that but the one on the right looks really natural. The way I see things through my eyes and it's really mind blowing even after all these years the camera on this phone never ceases to amaze me. I've taken a few pictures using this phone when I'm traveling and the only issue I have is noise but your setting strikes a perfect between noise and colors. I'm really impressed
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SenseSei:
I prefer the right one (I think Arnova)

Tolyan with Pixel 4 AWB is too reddish and dark as I said a few posts before. I do some more tests tomorrow but from my today's experience I guess I'll settle with Arnova with The IMX363 AWB for the back camera. For the front camera I have no idea yet, but I don't take selfies ever so idc. Maybe someone else can give us some good feedback for it
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
Hehe.

The right one was taken with Tolyan's and the left one with Arnova's.
