[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
Now that we know that BSG's 8.1 works on the OP3/3T, just try the latest one. BSG is releasing lots of updates, but since this thread seems to be a bit dead, I won't post them all here to avoid spam.

It seems that his version requires Google Photos. Unless he adds support to other gallery apps, there's nothing users can do.

A few days ago, Arnova8G2 posted a message on the OP3/3T telegram group saying that his next update would work on this phone (he was testing on Android 10/LineageOS 17). His version supports 3rd party gallery apps, but I don't know when he'll release the apk.

For this phone, all package names should work fine. They can be installed side by side because each apk have different package names. This is useful if you want to have multiple GCams installed.

The reason why we are starting to see more apks for each release is because some brands only allow certain package names to access some features. For example, OnePlus decided to block access to the extra cameras (wide, telephoto, etc) on their newer devices with Android 11... only apps with the "snapcam" package can use (some of) those cameras. In their case, different pkg names means different available features.

By the way, for people thinking of buying a new phone and use a 3rd party camera app on it (eg: GCam), I would recommend staying away from OnePlus. Android 10 already had some limitations (which modders managed to fix), but with the Android 11 update, they really cracked down on the access to the extra cameras. From the 7, 8, and Nord series, only the 8 Pro doesn't have serious limitations... Asus or Xiaomi seem to be better options at this point for GCam users.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrahmaGandhi:
alright, thanks for the hints and the tips!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nixeus2:
Maybe it could be good to explain this to One Plus. Personnaly i hate Xiaomi and would re buy a OP when i will change. Maybe OnePlus will change :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
Good luck.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] thx84:
So 8 pro is still good to pick up now?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
For now yes, but keep in mind that all other devices have more restrictions after the Android 11 update. Will the 8 Pro be fine or will they "fix it" with a future software update too?

I think something changed behind the scenes. The limitations on OnePlus' Android 11 are the same as the ones you can find on OPPO, Vivo and Realme phones. Maybe they're now sharing some or more code among them? They're owned by the same company after all.

Looking back, I'm glad I went with Asus when I upgraded from the OP3. I can use 48MP and the wide camera on my Zenfone 6, GCam and other camera apps work fine, no need for root or custom ROMs...
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phil_greg2001:
Very interesting 👍
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
I've updated my configs for GCam 7 from Wichaya and Nikita:

- Wichaya (GCam 7.3 v3.1.1): op3-wichaya7.3_3.1.1-v1.1.xml

- Nikita (GCam 7.4 v2.0): op3-nikita7.4_2.0-v1.1.xml

Two main changes:

- AWB now enabled by default. It might change colours a bit indoors, but helps with the pink tint this phone suffers from.

- Reverted the changes I made to the lib patcher. Now it mostly uses default values and the detail comes from the "sharpness" option.

The last point affects a detail a bit. Last week I went outside and managed to test GCam on this phone, something that I don't do often because 1) it's no longer my main phone and 2) the pandemic/lockdowns limit a bit what I can do. While some pictures looked fine, others had some weird patterns/artifacts/noise and looked really bad.

I decided to go back to stock lib patcher values and only use the "sharpness" option to increase detail. This is likely to sometimes produce less detailed pictures, but it should work better across different conditions.

These are meant to be configs that you use as base. Then you can disable or enable what you want (eg: enable/disable AWB, grid, etc).

If someone used my configs before and had issues, try the new ones. Feedback is welcome.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
I don't think anyone will mind if you post regular updates here. Unless it's too much of a hassle for you. Probably most people haven't written here because they are using a slightly outdated but perfectly working gcam version. But I have been checking here regularly to see if there is a new post.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nixeus2:
Thanks a lot my friend for sharing your config file :)

Did you try a config file for Arnovas build ? i'm a bit lost with the different devices to set (Pixel 2, 3, 4, 5 ?) to have a better quality with our OP3T.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nixeus2:
Question @S4turno , why do you set "Input module" at : isDefaultsLite ?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
Well, with BSG sharing 1 or 2 apks per week, this would be full of updates :P His page is here, btw.

If you mean Arnova's GCam 7, then follow the link on the main thread. There are config files for that version. I haven't used it in a while though (I have an Asus Zenfone 6, the OP3 is now a backup phone).

If you mean Arnova's GCam 8... I haven't tested it because it's not meant for the OP3/3T. I believe the next public update will support this phone, but I don't know when he'll release it.

Unless there's something related to the phone brand/model, I leave the default. You can try the other options though... see if there are any differences between them. If you do, share your findings :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
How can it be that the Oneplus 8 Pro has no limitations but the normal 8 does? The systems are almost identical and the 8 even has one camera less.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
Only OnePlus can explain why, but maybe they want people to buy the more expensive phone and artificially limit what the other phones can do?

I've been told that the camera quality on the 7/7T/7Pro and 8/8T is better than the Nord, even though they all use the same sensor (Sony IMX586)...

I'm just speculating, I could be wrong.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
Thanks for the statement. I hope Xiaomi will not do the same. The Mi 11 looks promising to me
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
Do you know if there are GCAM versions that work with Snapdragon Samsung smartphones and One UI (Android 11)? I see a lot of promotions for the Galaxy A52 (5G) at the moment.

In case someone is wondering: GCam is working fine on LineageOS 18.1, at least GCam 7 and 8. Same as 17.1.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hasitCN:
Can you recommend a GoogleCamera that can be used for android11 ？
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] HelloReaz:
No more updated version for android 11? Just flashed the Lineage OS 18.1 needed one Gcam for it.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
The same versions that work on Android 10 also work on Android 11.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
I have updated the main post with info about GCam 8.

Essentially, if you want to use GCam 8, use Arnova's or BSG's version. Are they the best ones for this phone? I don't think so - I would use GCam 6 or 7 - but the option is there if you want to use something newer.

For people using Android 9 / stock OxygenOS 9, I believe that some versions will install without issues, but it will be buggy. For GCam 8, use Android 10 or 11.

As I've mentioned before, I no longer use this phone, so my testing is limited. My OP3 is also lagging a bit (or was always like this and I notice it now as I use a faster phone) and some of the new versions seem to lag even more. Do your own tests, report back if you have better suggestions or if I'm wrong about something.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] HelloReaz:
Can you give me the download link of GCam 8 for OP3T?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
Wichaya just released his GCam 8 and I think it might be a good option for this phone if you want something simple:

GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.0.apk (Wichaya, 2021-05-19)

Any of the apks should work, use a different package name if you don't want to replace the GCam you already have installed.

There's nothing you have to change for it to work, but you probably want to enable HDR enhanced, disable sounds, enable the option to use a 3rd party gallery app if you don't use Google Photos, etc.

If you want tweak the detail/sharpness/etc of the image, there's a "RAM patcher" option, which kinda replaces the Lib Patcher option on GCam 7.

If you don't want to spend time changing every parameter, there's also the "Preset Noise Reduction Model" which allows you to select presets from different people for different sensors.

NOTE: After enabling this option, you'll need to select one preset as the default one results in blurry images on the 3/3T. For this phone, maybe the first 3 are the best ones as they are for sensors more similar to the one used on this device (but feel free to try others):

Not getting 16mp from front cam with gcam 8. Does the front cam fix for 3t still work?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
Well folks, after 4 years and 11 months, my OnePlus 3 is no more. It managed to outlast my 2019 Asus Zenfone 6 which developed a bootloop last month.

I don't use the phone anymore, but I had nothing to do and decided to apply some tape to the display as one corner was lifting up a bit (I did this ~2 years ago, but didn't apply tape all around). I ended up breaking the display (no image at all) and I think I also messed up the left button. 🤦‍♂️

Camera focus also started acting up a bit (not sure if it's the common camera module problem or just GCam 8) and battery life is not that good anymore (I left DreamLab running 24/7 and all that heat + being plugged in all time isn't good for batteries). It doesn't make sense for me to repair it, so it's time to move on.

Since I can't test anymore, I'm now relying on your feedback to add newer versions to the main post of this thread.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaUop3:
RIP, great OP3.

I replaced mine too yesterday (still working, but with lifting display like yours and one of the 2 mics deaf). Never had a single issue and it still appears mint: because of the extremely positive experience I chose an OP 9 Pro, even if it seems Oneplus' golden age is over.

Thanks for all your work dude!

Hello. What do you think is the best camera app for android 9? I am using the OnePlus gallery app.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
When I used to have this phone, the impression I got is that GCam 6 was the best overall. However, GCam 7 introduces some features that you may want to have.

Both should work ok on Android 9, but read the warnings on the main page.

For people using BSG's GCam 8.1, I recommend that you update to the latest version. I explain here why.

MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix (BSG, 2022-02-09, configs)

Config files (same as before, from telegram):

- Config file by AX: op3-8.1.xml ( /Downloads/MGC_8.1.101_Configs/ )

- Library to improve quality: MWP-HDRv4.so ( Settings » Libraries )

This should produce detailed and neutral colours.

- OnePlus3-BSG-HKR.xml

I don't know which config is the best one.

Configs/settings from previous versions should work well on these versions. The Wichaya update is already from December... I forgot to update this thread.

I don't know if it works on this phone, but BSG's 8.4.600 is now "stable". In case someone wants to test it, this is the most recent one.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcmE85:
You are talking about the updated OxygenOS Oreo Kernel, right?

So I understand correctly:

You are saying that forced HDR+ with theses settings doesn't produce freezes/force closes anymore on the Oreo Beta 25/16,

like it used to do on Nougat when not using "Nexus6 Hdr+ Auto"?

Does autoHDR+ with ZSL also work this way without issues?

As I am not yet running Oreo, this might be the perfect reason to upgrade.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] spacebar2011:
Yes, forced HDR+ works fine. It worked for me on Open Beta 24 too, but I can't remember what exact version of the Google Camera I was using.

Auto HDR+ with ZSL seems to work as expected. Forced HDR+ takes a good few seconds to process though.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcmE85:
Forced HDR+ under Nougat is only stable with "Nexus6 Hdr+ Auto" config or v14.v3 apk and some other older versions without manual settings.

AutoHDR+ with ZSL isn't working this way on Nougat though. You have to change the config for this, which will cause freezes on forced HDR+ in return.

So there is no stable config to use both forced HDR+ and autoHDR+ without issues on Nougat.

Forced HDR+ always takes some time to process.

So judging by your config and response, OOS Oreo let's us finally use the same config for forced HDR+ and autoHDR+ without any issues.

edit: I've asked another user to test your settings under Oreo Beta and they are still causing issues with forced HDR+.
