[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] surroundedbydrones:
The camera config one is a major one. This setting affects the way the application interfaces with your phone's hardware.

If you use Nexus 6p config, for example, you'll get more moderate shutter speeds compared to Pixel 2 XL, at both ends of the spectrum.

In other words, if you want your shutter to run with the fastest or slowest speeds (determined by lighting conditions by default), you should select Pixel 2XL.

If you shoot in pitch black, which I did to test the 'purple tint' noise issue, you'll see that the Nexus 6p config shutter speed will only drop to about 1/10 on the Moto X4. That allows for less amplification effects, which reduces the 'purple tint', but also affects the dynamic range and data collected at the sensor.

If you shoot with the Pixel 2XL config, you'll notice the slowest speed the shutter auto-generates is 1/6, compared to the 1/10 of the Nexus 6p. Thats even slower, and you'll likely see more 'purple tint' in low light scenarios due to more data (probably too much at that speed) hitting the sensor and seemingly overloading the pixels with bad data, in a sense. That along with the amplification of the data collected is what has the biggest effect on purple tint with the Moto X4.

You'll notice the opposite effect if you test in bright light. The Pixel 2XL config lets the shutter reach faster speeds, compared to the Nexus 6p config, for example, which won't snap the shutter as fast.

Overall, it's mostly acceptable with HDR+ Enhanced on, which is the only mode you'll get a 'purple tint', if at all.

During daylight, outdoors, there's very little shutter lag, even with HDR+ Enhanced, by the way. The lower the light levels, the longer the HDR+ processing takes.

From the beginning:

Camera config: 2017 ZSL HDR+

Model: Pixel 2XL

HDR Parameters: Super High

Advanced:

HDR+ Control: ON (for access to HDR+ Enhanced mode

USE ZSL / Remove Pinkish/Reddish : ON, ON

Developer Settings:

camera.use_photos: ON

camera.diet_burst: ON

camcorder.fastswitch: ON

camera.enable_vesper: ON

camera.gouda.front: ON

camera.gouda_sec_img: ON

Any developer flag not mentioned is left OFF. I only included a combination of the ones I found give the best effect and function; they're the only ones enabled.

... quick comparison in low light to show the difference between the unusable stock Moto X4 camera, and the Google camera port I linked above.

Both point and shoot; no adjustments, no tap on screen to focus or set exposure. Just opened camera and took a snap.

Hello, I read the whole thread of this forum.

I have a Moto X4 without root.

Which is the best Google Cam apk for the X4 of Celso Azevedo's blog? Scrubber ?. Arnova?

Which one has got best performance?

I like to use the camera and take a photo in automatic mode, without making many settings.

Hi surroundedbydrones,

[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] surroundedbydrones:
It depends, my phone isn't rooted either. Best performance I would say is still the one I linked above.

Set it up with the settings as I posted, it only takes a minute or two. After that, you'll be able to point and shoot without worrying about focus and exposure just fine.

All of the ported cameras require some kind of setup when first installed. The version I posted here is the most stable and consistent for our phone, from my testing, and gives the best final image results, overall. But that's just my opinion, and others may have a different preference.

Again, the version I use:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4Beta2.apk

edited to add: In daylight, especially outdoors, you can use the camera even with HDR+ Enhanced and there's no shutter lag. You snap a picture, and done.

And I use mine with HDR+ on Super High, only in very low light is there any delay in processing.
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] luisvalino:
Thank you so much!

Just last question: I read in Celso Azevedo blog that stable/main versions are in bold text, and you are using a beta apk.

Is it better your version than GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5.apk which is posted in bold text ???
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] surroundedbydrones:
Yes, I would say so. The settings are more thorough, and the stability is very good.

Once you set it up, there's nothing to mess with, nothing to worry about. Every time you expect it to work, it works.

It was tagged 'beta' only because it was a test version of various features for different devices, but not necessarily because it was unstable or broken. (from my understanding)

I tried the version you posted in bold back when it came out, images produced are much noisier, to a significant degree, compared to the 1.4beta2 version, and the color accuracy is lacking as well.

I tried a LOT of mod versions before settling on 1.4beta2.

GOOD LUCK!
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] luisvalino:
Last question:

What B-S-G settings are you using in your 1.4beta2 currently in order to set on my Moto X4, please ???

Another important settings that you are using ???

HDR parameters? Photo? Video?

Thanks !!! :)
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gerhardo:
Thanks for the settings. Really helped.

The HDR+ Enhanced can take seconds also in daylight if there is contrast, but makes a difference.

I can live with deactivating HDR+ Enhanced occasionally.

If I am in a hurry, I may use the stock app, works decently in good conditions. It has supposedly been improved recently (I justgot the X4 myself). There are many worse cameras out there. It is easy to start with the double twist when you are in a real hurry.. Also, I like the wide angle camera.

[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] luisvalino:
I understand you perfectly at your question.

I'm not an expert about this topic, I've been wondering for weeks what is the best Google Cam that works at the Moto X4, and above all know what settings exactly you need to get a very good performance, but I do not get much information and I think that people as you and I are very clueless about this matter.
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] surroundedbydrones:
What's 'this port', if you don't mind?

And that's a surprising thing to read, because just about any port outperforms the shoddy stock camera on this phone.

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

He didn't ask a question, unless he edited his post, I see no question.

I answered your questions myself, and so have others. What don't you know?

Here's a very good Google camera port, with super simple settings. I use it for my night shots especially, but it works well for general use compared to other ports on our phone. Only important setting is 'HDR+ Quality', I set mine to the highest quality.

[https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.2.022_AllAutoCORR_2.apk]

As to the poster above, either he's using a misconfigured Google camera port, an incompatible port not intended for this device, has a hardware malfunction, or isn't using a Google camera port at all. That's the only way one can find parity between the stock camera and even the worst Google camera port.

The stock moto X4 camera app is virtually useless.
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] luisvalino:
Ok, thanks!

What exactly are the settings you have set in your Google Cam apk ?. That is, in the BSG, in the HDR, etc. because I see a lot of options but I do not know which is the best to set the apk in an automatic mode to be able to take pictures.

This reply should help me and the last user too who didn't find the settings, do you understand me ???

Thank you!
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] surroundedbydrones:
The first setting is 'Auto Correction HDR+' - I use Max Quality.

The rest of the settings are just a matter of preference. Like the camera sounds, resolution, etc.

I don't enable any of the 'fixes' in the settings. The other poster doesn't need/want help, he likes the stock camera app, which is amazing.

(referring to the last apk I shared - MGC_5.2.022_AllAutoCORR_2)
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] luisvalino:
Thanks for your reply. I have tried it and I do not notice much difference with Motorola stock, in interiors it makes better photos Motorola cam than Scrubber's which take dark photos.

And then, when it comes to processing a photo, it takes a lot of time ...
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] surroundedbydrones:
Alright, I see a huge difference, myself. But that's all, those are the only variants that I know work well with our device, and I tested dozens and dozens.

I also posted samples and comparisons in different places, and compared hundreds and hundreds of images captured among the different ports.

No matter what, one constant remained - the stock app is immensely inferior. That's immediately apparent.

If it's all I had, I would've returned the phone within a week. Good thing for the ports.

Not every version is optimal or even functional on our phones. I tested dozens and recommended the best ones according to my tests.

The samples just posted are with a version not ideal for our phone. I won't argue on subjectivity; if you think the moto camera app is superior, I think that's baffling, but it's your opinion.

Daily drive

Hello commarades, I also have the moto x4 and also have noticed that the stock cam is kinda ****. I was wondering, is this port suitable for daily use? Like, the overall quality is good? Outdoors, sunsets, low light and such. I've tried it on people mostly, and I'm satisfied, but I was looking for some other opinions.

Thanks in advance, best regards

Pls tell me the less buggy one
[Moto X4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gerhardo:
It all depends on your settings and what features you use. I do not really use video myself but have been playing around with the slow-motion and stabilization a little, that only works with MotoCamera for me.

GCMod5 was stable for me and my primary driver until I installed BSG with Night Sight, now camera crashes. I will probably use MotoCamera for good conditions (where the difference is small) and BSG-6.013 for Night Sight for another week or so until I try an updated BSG-6 mod again (hopefully working better).

But I will likely not make a detailed comparision like [MENTION=863498]surroundedbydrones[/MENTION].

So I have the 6.01 with Night Sight and other than no viewfinder, that feature works great.

But the rest of the app is buggy or laggy.

But that Scrubber 5.01 is brilliant as a normal camera app and takes MUCH better photos than the stock X4 camera.

If you like music as much as I do and prefer to use Viper4Android, install it as follows:

0) This requires Magisk; install Magisk 15.2 (as of 1/9/2018)

1) Using a root explorer (I prefer FX File Explorer), navigate to /system/system/priv-app/AudioFX and rename AudioFX.apk to AudioFX.BAK. Reboot.

2) Install three Magisk modules:

a) Magisk SELinux Permissive Script (Get it here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magisk-selinux-permissive-script-t3577549)

b) Busybox for Android NDK v1.27.2 by osm0sis (Get it from Magisk downloads in the Magisk app)

c) ViPER4Android FX v2.8 by ahrion, zackptg5 (Also from Magisk downloads)

3) Reboot.

Reboot recovery. Flash gapps/vendor reboot.

Giving this a whirl. Thanks OP!!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
Aye, that is normal. It just means you don't have vendor installed, which you can't do until rebooting back to TWRP (so it switches slots).

Factory reset does not wipe system partition. If you are coming from a different ROM, when you switch slots, you are leaving a different ROM on your inactive slot. Not a huge deal, but I don't recommend it.

Edit - The best way to avoid stressing about that is to allow the reboot, but interrupt boot (pwr + vol down), and go right to recovery from the bootloader.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
Maybe? I haven't tried installing one yet. ElementalX has always worked well in the past, indeed I always built nougat crDroid with it. Just haven't tried it on Oreo.

If you want to try installing it, worst it will do is bootloop. Just dirty flash (wipe only cache/system, leave data, repeat normal install) back to the included kernel.
