I'm using GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6-Beta3 on 8.1 release. The quality is very good but both the performance and responsiveness are severely lacking. I also noticed that the saved photo is always cut off on the side so even if I see the whole person or object on the display it's cut off later. This makes using the camera app painful.

I've tried to use 16:9 and 4:3 ratios but there's no difference. I then compared it with the stock Nokia camera app which does not currently anything off.

Any ideas?

Has anyone experienced black images with zero file size when using a mod? I heard about this on a swedish android forum yesterday, but I can't really understand what has happened.

The user explained that these images created errors for him while using i.e Files go or Android File Transfer.

Does anyone here have a solution?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlphaGoZero:
I just delete it by Google Photos, then automatically backed up keep work.

Now, cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.4.1 seems stable to me.

I also have very good result with [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] 3.4.1 version.

This version is very consistent.

I set hdr+ to medium and quality to 97% in the settings.

Photos are 10 times better than with the stock app.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Euphorion:
I ordered a Nokia 8 (at a cheap price, it was a great deal). Can you share some screenshots with your settings ? I plan to install one who those mod. Thanks!
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mastamike:
There is not much to change in cstark27's 3.4.1 APK but these are my settings in the attached screenshots.

NB: you can also activate motion photos:

In developer settings, switch on camera.use_photos and camera.enable_micro.

But keep in mind, that motions photos will only work with 16/9 resolutions and within Google photos app.

So for me, I only use the app with the settings you'll see in the screenshots.

It is very stable and we have working :

- panorama;

- photosphere;

- lens blur effect;

- portrait;

- fully working hdr and hdr enhanced for back and front camera;

The only thing that can't be activated without root is slow motion videos.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Euphorion:
Thanks a lot for your reply! I will test this as soon as I will get the phone.

P.S : I'm french too :)
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] revanmj:
use_photos will cause instability when using preview on HDR photos that are still being processed (it will hang instead of showing progress ring like built in preview) so it's advised to not enable that option.

Using cstark27 V3.5, simply amazing with the slow shutter option for enhanced HDR+!

And it works on both cameras!

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Premkrishna:
I cant believe how amazing Cstart27 v3.5 apk is.

I am now completely using this as my primary camera and selfies too. The photos taken are apparently 75% better than the stock camera in Nokia 8.

So its not just about the megapixels. Its about post processing too. I feel like the images are better than my brothers pixel 2.

I love Nokia 8 :good:
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Euphorion:
I'm using it too and it's very good !

Slow Shutter with enhanced HDR+ give great results in low light conditions.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Premkrishna:
Exactly, the low light images are mind blowing.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dimifoti:
May be silly from my part but today i realised that disabling video stabilization in Google camera settings, eliminates screen tearing and optical image stabilization works flawlessly so go ahead and disable it.

What's best settings for Nokia 8?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlphaGoZero:
Camera2 Test

This application analyzes the Camera2 API support. It retrieves the available Camera2 API keys and values. It is useful for Android developers and testers and allows to find out the available Camera2 features on their devices. It also allows to share your Camera2 API support results with your team members, so you can gather some statistics.

I just provide report of Nokia 8.

I guess [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] version seems better.

The second microphone does not work while recording video. Right?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mastamike:
No, Nokia stock camera is much better for video recording.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dimifoti:
I think dual mic setup is by default on and does work as "source" for any app that utilizes dound. Plus i use Google Cam for video capture, and during the edit in Premier, sound is dual channel stereo, and not single channel, which means that both mics work by default and as source.

I use Cstark 5.1.018_24_v3.5 .

So far so good, but sometimes I wonder if there are better mods. Maybe I should try.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Karan282:
I use arnova's gc pixel2mod v6. It is better than cstark port. Hdr+ works on both front & back.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ben_linux:
It works on front and back with Cstark too. In fact, everything works on Cstark. But thank you I'll make a try tonight.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Karan282:
Problem is with taking pictures with front cam its always blurry in low light condition no matter how steady you keep it. but thats not the case with arnova gcpixel2mod v6 port. It takes pictures with good details with both rear and front cam in low light conditions.

Settings i use are - auto for auto exposure and config camera hdr+, improve low light photo checked and in developers options uncheck use photos app. Plz Try it and let me know how it works for you.

To be honest I absolutely don't have this problem with Cstark. All works perfectly.

I'm installing the Arnova mod right now too so I can compare if I've got better results though and I'll let you know. ;)

Google camera ,both cstark or the last of MGC in low light , the flash starts but then it shuts off in the moment of taking the photo
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ben_linux:
Hello, so I tried your version with Cstark sideloaded.

To be honest there is no way I can recommend the arnova 's version over the Cstark's one.

Of course I respect a lot Arnova and his work, no problem with that. The thing is , for the Nokia 8, I think Cstark mod is still the better option. The colours are way better, it takes a slower time to focus in low light, and results are clearer.

For me this is a no match. I got quite similar results when activating the ZSL in settings with Arnova though. I think this is the better configuration.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] c1m_xl:
what about the slowest shutter speed you can set on this nokia 8 with gcam? can you set 10seconds as shutter speed? and about the video, i saw someone enabled 60fps, but does it works great for filming a little with 24-25fps with filmicpro or cinema4k? thank you in advance guys

You can use this one (stable):

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.4.1.apk

The only that does not work is slow motion ( need root).

Or this one with adaptive shutter speed for night photo:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.6.apk

In which Cstark27 added:

- 5 Exposure Time settings for Adaptive Shutter Speed. "Super Slow" is the same as V3.5. "Very Slow" is about 2x faster and so on and so forth. On my phone "Slow" is not actually Slow and matches normal HDR+ Enhanced speed. But it may change depending on device so I left it.

=>> Personnaly, I use the 3.4.1 with quality set to 97% and hdr set to medium.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chr_ts:
Which are best settings to use for cstark v3.6 mod?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlphaGoZero:

I tried the latest version of Arnova8G2 (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk) and BSG (MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4.apk) in few days

cstark27 (cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.6.apk) is better option, the colours still better than other version
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Karan282:
I'm currently testing arnova's gc 5.2.019 v2 . I think it's as good as cstark port. But doubt its stability. Give it a try guys and let me know your opinion.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamwyim:
Hi all！

I am wyim and a new user of Nokia 8. I have tested the latest Arnova8G2, B-S-G, SKULSHADY and cstark27 builds of Google Camera mod. Different from the insight from the peers in here, I have found that the Arnova8G2 v7-test9 build is the best of all builds that we have so far! It has the most features that work amongst other builds.(e.g. Motion pictures (partial), portrait mode,photo spheres, and panorama mode）. Also, both 60fps and 30fps work in 1080p video filming for both front and rear camera, and with a reasonable wide range.

The videos made by cstark27 build are generally too close to the camera .Sometimes the videos made by cstark27 build maybe too dark and with lots of noise. Others may crash while on clicking on the settings. So all in all, I would recommend everyone to choose Arnova8G2 v6 or v7 builds for general use instead of cstark27 builds.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tolios1999:
I disagree with you. The colors in cstarks mod are a little bit better and Arnova's mod has really trouble focusing when shooting a video. It has to refocus.all the time. Really annoying. For me, cstark's mod is better for our phone.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yogart99:
I agree with iamwyim , Arnova8G2, is the best at the moment even tho it has a bit of a focusing issue on video cam. The other one cstark27 does not even have 60fps for video cam.

my phone started flickering (2/3 rds from down to up)

it flickers when i lock\unlock the phone

when the light is set to auto and it gets low , to 10 % or so.

i found that the issue is worldwide with at&t phones,

tried :

solution 1 : wipe cache partition. => didn't work

solution 2 : activate developer mode, turn off "disable hardware overlays" => didn't work

solution 3 : turn off : setting\display\auto adjust screen tone => didn't work

then i downloaded : screen filter , allows you to put light at any percentage you want , i tried even 1%, the screen never flickers when i do the percentage manually.

so i guess the problem is software.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Unfortunately, no root once FireOS has progressed beyond 5.3.2.0. Status quo for many months and is unlikely to change going forward. You can still install the Play Store and ask Amazon to remove lock screen ads. That's about it.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
You can root from FireOS 5.4.1.0 all the way to the current 5.6.0.1, on the Fire HD 10 only. At the moment no other current (2017) tablets can be rooted. I plan to reload FireOS on my HD 10 sometime soon to re-root and see if I can't get some logs of it and see what's going on. The closest to root any other Amazon tablet has, beyond 5.3.1.0, is disabling system apps on 5.4.0.0 and earlier versions.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Seen this movie before. HD 10 uses a different architecture (64-bit) utilizing different binaries with different vulnerabilities. It is unlikely that any exploits from the HD 10 can be leveraged to FireOS builds for the Fire 7 and HD 8.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Agreed. Though to see what's going on, could be beneficial. Though I do giggle a little at the thought of Amazon "patching" the disabling of system apps, only to have their most expensive tablet rooted. I have been wondering if whatever they patched caused this.

I don't really know how kernels are patched. Example: when a kernel is patched to stop potential exploits, how is the data written? Like is it in rotation? As new patches are uploaded, does it push off the older data?
