I'm getting mad.

As of right now, which is better Arnova, CStark or BSG?

I'm testing myself at the same time all of these versions, but in some pictures Arnova is better and in others CStark unexpectedly wins.

Arnova's version seems to be more stable and more complete: there are some extra features, like Slow Motion or Motion Photos, but I'm having severe issues with White Balance. Is there anything I should touch in the settings menu in order to adjust colours reproduction? CStark, instead, seems to be more saturated with warmer colours, but, in some cases, this a good thing.

My conclusion is that Arnova is faster, hardly crashes, and has, at least, more features (Slow Motion or Motion Photos ), but CStarks seems to have better color reproduction (warmer and more saturated) and also a better denoise processing.

Here's my CStark settings:

HDR+ ON

JPEG: 100%

Model: Nexus 6P

Disable ZLS Config OFF

Disable Portrait Mode Zoom ON

LG G6 Color Fix ON

Forced on Portrait Mode ON

Adaptive Shutter Speed ON

Exposure Time SLOWER

Frame Count SUPER HIGH (SLOWEST)

On every ported version, if you want to enable video-recording just set resolution to 1080p instead of 4K and deactivate video-stabilizer.

Today, I try Arnova8G2 and cstark27 version again.

Arnova8G2 (OP6_test_1.2.2_GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-Test-focus-2.apk)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77272780&postcount=1427

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77353975&postcount=1233

I vote for cstark27.

Good color reproduction, and more realistic.

Usually, White Balance Auto for outdoor.

White Balance Sunny for indoor and Exposure Compensation +0.x.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] whalesplaho:
Tha version yhu tried for arnova was for 1+6... Yhu shud have tried dis version for Nokia 8. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77325547&postcount=5502
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlphaGoZero:
Yes, I used GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2 to V8.2 before, about a month.

And change to OP6_test_1.2.2_GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-Test-focus-2.apk two weeks.

Cause I like Exposure Compensation option, it's useful to me.

I feel these photo output are similar.

But I got a issue, Exposure Compensation option only working on White Balance Auto mode.

So I testing Arnova8G2 and cstark27 again.

And go back to install cstark27 version.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] whalesplaho:
Okay buddy.... Will try cstark version and see!!!

Mind sharing yur setup for cstark27 version please....
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bacchinif:
Same here. My conclusion is that the best GCam porting for Nokia 8 is CStark at the moment. Make sure to set shutter speed to "Slower" and Frame Count to "High". This is going to set 1/10 as the "mininum" shutter speed.

All the other options have to be set to max. It's better than Arnova because it provides a better color reproduction, especially in whites.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlphaGoZero:
1. install cstark27 (cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.9test3.apk)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77353975&postcount=1233

2. clear app data

3. for most people,

enable Adaptive Shutter Speed

disable Flash

enable HDR+ enhance

JPEG Quality 100% (option)

Frame Count Medium or High (option)

close and restart app

4. modify white balance depend on your environment

Usually, White Balance Auto for outdoor

White Balance Sunny (80%), Auto (10%) or Cloudy (5%) for indoor and Exposure Compensation +0.x

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bacchinif:
As of right now, do you agree that CStark version is better than Arnova's? Especially for what concerns color reproduction. I'm experiencing blue/magenta tint in shadows (mainly in low-light conditions) with the latest Arnova's version.

CStark seems not to have this issue, but at the same time looses some features like: Slow Motion and Motion Photos.

Would you be please so kind to explain what does "Frame Count" mean?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlphaGoZero:
"Frame Count" how many photos were taken

HDR+ increases the dynamic range of the photo, however unlike traditional High-dynamic-range (HDR) imaging, this is achieved by combining several underexposed photos which has the added benefit of improving colors at the expense of being less effective

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Camera
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bacchinif:
Thanks for your quick response.

If this is how it works, why are you setting frame count to medium or high instead of super slow?

Are you using the latest Cstark version?

Do you know how to correct color shifting in Arnova version in low light conditions?
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bacchinif:
I just downloaded ARCore and ArStickers (Full Pack) from the official porting website, but when I open Arnova app it crashes.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] machhho:

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] whalesplaho:

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bacchinif:

Hopefully AR Stickers will work and white balance will be accurate in low light conditions.
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] athanis:

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bacchinif:
Same here.

As of right now AR Stickers are not working in any Arnova version.

Is there something to enable? Of course I have installed ARcore ad ARSticker pack
[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] revanmj:
Same here, I had to move to latest Arnova's (GCam5) version because after updating to latest BSG APK, ZSL HDR completely stopped working (all configs with it gave me no preview in viewfinder). Even installing back older version (where it worked previously) didn't fix it.

Also, added link to all APKs in the first post.

Im also not 100% satisfied with HDR photos...too dark...

Do I just need a simple APK and install it ? (google cam) Or will I have to set options in XMLs first ?

Didnt editing prop files require rooting back in the days ? Or am I mixing something up here ?

Nokia 8 supports Camera2 API out of the box like most flagships today. As far as I know only some Xiaomi phones require editing build.prop to support Camera2 API.

in low light with cstark ver 4.2 you need to enable adaptive shutter speed with frame count to highest and exposure to super slow. it beat S8 and Pixel 2 by huge margin in very low light and equally good in low light. And if you grab a tripod it will give a tough time to Huawei P20 pro in low light.

You want the truth ? To this day, I never had a better photophone than Nokia 8 + Cstark GC.

I review a lot of smartphones.

Currently with the P20 and Nokia 7+, before that the MI8 and a month ago GS8+.

Pretty good shooters you'd say. And yeah they all are very good in daylight.

But when you're indoor, none of this phone can match the clarity and sharpness of my Nokia 8 + GC.

MI8 have a LOT of noise and goes crazy with the ISO

GS8+ have a problem to find the subject (aka my grey cat) in a dark environment, resulting in blur

P20 smudges all the faces once the light is gone, except for the fantastic "night mode" which works great, but you can't keep your phone steady and wait for 4 sec everytime.

Nokia 8 is perfect in all scenarios, ok the focus is slower but the result is incredible.

Honestly I find N8's front face outdated, really, but I bought it 2 times because no phone can beat it at the moment except probably the PIXEL which I didn't test yet.

The phone that came the closest, is , surprinsigly, the OP6 (after August update).

Currently, if N8 would be tested with GC by DXO, it would probably be at 100+

Yes I already gave it on this forum, I created a topic on the #1 French forum. I use an old version of Cstark for 2 reasons:
