I use the following version:

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v2

Here are the settings used by the developer:

Rear camera is set to Taimen (Pixel 2 XL)

-Front camera is set to Angler (Nexus 6P)

-Configuration is set to Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr

-Front and Rear HDR+ and Portrait works

-Front and Rear video cameras work. No focus issues for me.

-Photos taken with HDR+ On are Zero Shutter Lag. I feel like HDR+ Enhanced photos are sharper.

-Front camera HDR+ On works but HDR+ Enhanced works better in reducing highlights

*IMPORTANT

In order to make motion pics work, you have to choose :

- (16:9) 12.1 megapixels (4:3 don't work with motion photos)

- Motion pics don't work with the flash either.

I personally use hdr sets to high and I have superb results.

The only thing that does not work is slowmotion.

Here is the link to the APK :

That version works great for me too, Mastamike!

There was no reason to change the video settings, btw. Works out of the box on Nokia 8!
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ben_linux:
Ok guys,

So I tried cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v 1 . It works, but have some bugs and crashes here and here. It seems like there is a problem with the photo preview. However I did an update, I should try a clean install I guess to solve this issue.

Anyway! I took some photos tonight with this apk on Nokia 8 and the stock app of the OP5, which is still a very good performer in low light.

I took especially photos in low and very low light, as I consider that Nokia 8 is perfectly fine when the sun is here, like most smartphones today.

On 10 photos, I would say that 5 of them are clearly better on the Nokia 8 with the GC.

2 of them were better on the OP5, and for 3 of them, it was really too close to call a winner.

In general I can say that the OP5 take pictures a little bit faster (and faster to process HDR), but in nearly each case, the N8 have true-to-life color, with real tone and exact white balance, where the OP5 tends to overexpose, particulary when shooting the red color (it becomes orange or pink with the OP5, and stay a true red with the N8)

I'm glad developers are here to support this fantastic app.

If it wasn't the case, I would have already sold the Nokia 8 as its HMD app isn't good enough.

Help

Can you give me a link and a guide to install gcam on an unrooted device?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pabliell:
You download any version from here:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Then you open the .apk and install it. You might need to allow instalation from unknown sources.

Done. You have GCam on your device.

It doesn't require root since it installs as a separate camera app.

Note that some features and settings don't work on Nokia 8. You need to do some testing to find which version is better for you. And you can have multiple GCam versions installed at the same time.

How is this version treating you? Any bugs?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] r100:
Thanks! I'm gonna test this one as well.

And for those doing the same, I just found out that the XML config files will be loaded and saved from: /GoogleCamera/ConfigsCamera. In the camera interface, double tap next to the shutter button to select an XML that's been placed in that folder. In the

Settings

under Photo select

Advanced

, about halfway down there's also the option to save your config.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Azdaha:
I've been using this version for a day now and everything works flawless for me. The image tends to be a tad bit sharper and all o the features work (haven't tried the astro photography yet). I really consider myself to be connoisseur of using gcam mods lol and this is by far the beet port imo.

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] boogi4:
Thank you for the tipp regarding this mod. I have tried many many mods and this one seems one of the best for Nokia 8 lately. I like the quick settings!

I just don't seem to be able to load the Nokia 8 config. I have downloaded the config file and transferred it to the Gcam/config folder. But when I want to load it by double clicking on the black area under the capture button, nothing happens. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciated!
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dimifoti:
Try to save a config first through settings of the camera app, then in the newly formed folder called GoogleCamera, in your internal storage, paste the config file you downloaded, then go to the app, double tap the black bar next to shutter and you should be able to load the config file you pasted in the folder.

Portrait mode doesn't work for me. I can't find it!
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] webvan:
Works ok for me.

Thanks for the tip about this new version, I'd been happily using Cstark27s P3 port getting some really nice results. Only real problem was the freezing display in dark conditions in NS. Annoyances were the lack of quick settings, like 4/3 and 16/9 or automatic timer in selfie mode. With that P4 version under discussion problem #2 is solved, #3 is quicker thanks to the quick settings but unfortunately #1 remains, the display freezes. I still have the old Arnova 1.7 version that had a tweak to prevent the display freeze. Hopefully there will be one for the P4 ports at some point !
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] geokaklas:
I notice that when I restore the Nokia 8 config, the portrait mode disappears.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] webvan:
You're right, I restored my original configuration and it's back. Not sure what that "Nokia 8" profile does exactly in any case.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ltodorov:
That's because the experimental setting "Use face retouching" is enabled.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Hey i use cstark p3v11.4.3.... it works good but when i take photographs with front camera the image trends to be more sharper so that the natural looks artificial.

Any better gcam build ?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mazne:
Which one you guys suggest for best quality ? I have installed many builds they all have different results, in the option i use camera model for Pixel 3xl, Night mode has issues when its extra dark. Build for poco F1 so far are showing best image quality but slow m. is terrible :( .
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] webvan:
I've been using P3 v12.3 from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-cstark27/ for months and I'm very happy with it. The only issue is the screen freeze in NS when it's very dark. The Arnova 1.7 fixes that but it's a lot slower and I sometimes get a pink cast.

I tried the P4 build mentioned as "the best one" above and while the quick settings are nice, it still freezes in NS and worse there's a lot more noise in NS than in the P3 version.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FMUKBIL27:
It's much much faster for lunching and shooting, but the results are not as good as the 6.x versions
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pabliell:
The best one I've tested so far is HyperCam R6:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog795/

For NightSight not to freeze you need to switch on alternate config for Android 8.1.

And with sRGB+B2 Libs colors are pretty accurate.

Pixel 3 AWB turned off, it ruins NS.

The only "issue" I have in it, is that there is no option for a pop-up to turn on NS.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I use night sight very rare i just want best results for the pictures in low light day light best colours possible
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] webvan:
Sounds a bit like Arnova v1.7 but with that one you can do a long press on the Home Screen and get the contextual menu to launch in NS so that's too much of an inconvenience. I'll try HyperCam R6 to see if it's possible too.

EDIT - yes it's possible to launch like that too so that's good ;) Do you turn off Pixel 3 AWB in "HDR+ enhanced AWB..." ?

I had to uninstall Arnova as it saw HyperCam as an "upgrade" and failed to install. I'll have to do some more testing but it seems faster in NS than Arnova and just as fast as Cstark's P3 ports.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] For_itembine:
I don't understand I have tried all the versions, and the Nokia camera takes better pictures in both light and low light if you have hdr OFF, nightmode looks like a smudged mess on Google camera
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] webvan:
You must be doing something wrong, unless you're in total (where you can't actually SEE anything) darkness and where you will indeed get a "smudged mess" (where other modes would just capture BLACK), the "Night Sight" mode produces wonderful pictures on the N8, regardless of the conditions. Unless I need some "fast shutter" I always used that mode actually.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TRex2142:
Did you try black rider port

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/

Best one with working playground emoji
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pabliell:
Done some testing lately in search for a 7.X based GCam. A build from Parrot043 seems to work best for me.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog958/

Most of the things work, including Night Sight and Slow Motion. There's plenty of options, I need to play more with them, but from notable ones are buttons for quick Astrophotography and Black/White photos. There's even a constant prompt to switch to NS, or setting for main mode, if you want to use NS by default.

Some options require restarting the camera app to work, even if the setting description doesn't say so.

EDIT

Well, after some testing I've found that NS viewfinder can still get stuck in very low light. A quick fix for that is to slightly lower the brightness slider, but that works only to next focus. Kinda annoying.

Aside from that, this build is perfect for HDR+, you can fine tune color and sharpness to your liking.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ltodorov:
I would like to share that I'm very impressed by BSG's https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1005/

It's version 7.3 and the viewfinder doesn't freeze in low light condition in Night Sight mode.

So far only the Slow motion seems to doesn't work.

I also experienced crashes when I was using the version you mentioned. When upgrading to v2 all the crashes ended. If you haven't already tried it, do it! Hopefully you'll get the same stability.

How are you choosing 12.1MP 16:9? that option doesn't exist for me.

I think that's something Arnova uses in his versions. No need to care about that option.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leoni1980:
But don't I need to choose that in order for Motion Photos to work? Don't really want to scale down as low as 8MP
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nishog04:
I didn't touch those settings and the motion photos worked out of the box.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mastamike:
I meant 16/9 - 8MP.

I had crashes with 4/3 - 13 MP for motion pictures with both front and rear camera.

If I switch to 16/9. It does work without problems.

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nishog04:
It's strange that the camera all of a sudden started crashing on me too. I had to use the Marlin-Angler-Marlin settings instead to get a stable version. Pity, since I really enjoyed the Taimen-Angler-Taimen settings more. [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] Do you have any clues why Nokia 8 crashes while using cTaimen? Is it possible to ask you for a fTaimen-rAngler-cMarlin version for me (and others?) to use, please?

Thanks!
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
If unchecking the Developer Option "use_photos" (force close and re-open) doesn't help the crashes, and Clearing the Data of the app doesn't either, then try some of the variants posted here:

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nishog04:
The "use_photos" option does not crash the app on my phone. I've tried all of your wonderful versions and especially liked the fTaimen-rAngler-cTaimen settings. But for some reason 2017 Pixel configurations crashes on my phone. Angler is an ok setting, but perhaps a bit too warm.

But thanks for the fast respons [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]. You're doing a great job!
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sörnäinen:
Thank you. For whatever reasons the camera in either one of these versions seems unstable on my device. Jealous on all the others who made it work!

I will experiment a bit more now. The Nokia stock camera really isn't that good.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mastamike:
For those who have crashes, check those two things :

- turn off completely motion photos ( either on and automatic) if you use 4/3 13MP

Unless !!!!

- change 4/3 to 16/9 8MP for both front and rear cameras.

I have yet to see a crash with that precaution.

For some reason, my LG V30 doesn't have Motion Photos.

Any versions allow saving to SD yet?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leoni1980:
This is unlikely to happen as the Pixel itself doesn't have an SD slot. Might be wrong but I wouldn't hold your breath, given that we can't even currently switch cameras, nevermind add an option to save to SD.

On a related note, I've asked Cstark if he can do a similar port to his V30 wide angle port with the mono sensor on the Nokia 8. Given the higher sensitivity of the mono sensor I imagine it could produce some stunning results with HDR+ processing.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
[MENTION=272490]leoni1980[/MENTION] the phone would need to report the "third" sensor through the Camera2 API. Show me a screenshot of the first page on camera2test app, with the Identification box pulled down. Like this https://imgur.com/DNSQeue
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leoni1980:
Thanks for the quick response! Just looked and unfortunately it doesn't report a second rear camera. I guess that means game over on that front then :(

Incidentally do you have a version specifically tailored to the Nokia 8?

Thanks again
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] revanmj:
V3 BSG Colors works great on Nokia 8, so what would you expect from "tailored" version? You can't fix slowmo videos without editing system XML file, you can't add support for monochrome camera as stated above and so far nobody fixed motion photos for aspect ratios other than 16:9.

There is really nothing else to "tailor" for Nokia 8, especially if you do not have a phone to test app on it (for example I think is kinda hard to tweak colors remotely since you can't see original view).

cstark27 Hello! :) A big request. Please make the following camera for Nokia 5, 6. The version of Taimen Angler Taimen v2 still proved to be faster than v3 bsg colors, autofocus is much more accurate, there are no greases from bad sticking of frames. The minus is only underexcluded and the white balance slightly goes into green.

Make two versions, the first as v2, only the brightness higher and with BSG Colors color correction. The second is the same, but the parameter hdr + Medium (10 frames), JPG quality as in v3. Probably 95%?

Sorry for the google translator :)

Nokia 8 Amazing Work! Thank you sooo much!!!

First of all thank you for all the amazing work this communitybrings to the table! Hands down the best in the tech community.

I just wanted to give my feedback about my experience with this ported pixel 2 camera app. It's installed in my Nokia 8 (2017) with Android Oreo 8.0.

It works flawlessly and amazing! I'm running this version: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V5 (2018/02/02) I belive is the latest version.

The GOOD:

Compared with the stock Nokia app the photos quadruple the quality and dynamic range as well as the sharpeness... it's unbelievable. It makes the camera the best i've seen...it's magic! The nokia 8 has pretty good cameras but DXO Mark and other reviews say that it lacks some quality and colors in the pictures. I totally agree but inside I knew that the sensores and the Zeiss lenses would just need a little edge with software.... Oh boy....you should see what this app is capable of....unbelievable... Congrats!

The BAD:

The only thing that it doesn't work is the slowmotion capability, it just crashes evertime I try to go there....I tap it and it goes dead the app.

Settings:

Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+

Super High Parameters

HDR+ image quality set to High

I'm new to this so if someone could tell me a better or improved version of the app or better settings to rock! I'm open to suggestions!

Anyone having trouble with Google Camera writing zero-byte files from time to time? Mine does so and it results in problems when trying to copy photos to computer. The copy process halts with an error "cannot copy such-and-such". I'm using a Mac and the Android File Transfer app.

The zero-byte files cannot be deleted either. Neither via the computer, nor via the Files app on the phone itself (they are invisible on the phone). The only way to delete them is by deleting the entire Camera folder and letting the phone create a new folder.
