Pixel 2 Camera Working with all features

Hi friends,

I finally found a combination of ROM and working Pixel 2 camera with no focus issue and with portrait mode, HDR+ working on both cameras on my Moto G5 Plus. I am using official latest Oreo Resurrection Remix Rom and this Pixel 2 camera apk from arnova https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6.apk .

Only that combination is working for me. I did not changed any setting in camera, everything pre-set and no need to do anything like turning on or off camera-2 api. I hope this will help you all.

Best of Luck:good:
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Missy Raja:
I can't install the apk file... Does anyone have a flashable file
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hemant.S:
You should use Oreo based ROM, I am using Resurrection Remix ROM, and install it as a normal apk.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] are you working on a version for the Mate 10 / 10 Pro as well?

or will it simply not work because of the Kirin processor?

Hi. I found this version of Arnova862's Gcam on a Xiaomi Mi Mix thread. Both front and back camera seem to work on Mate 10. I didn't see an explicit portrait feature but there is a lens blur feature which allows a focus on a close-up and makes it a little blurred around the subject. Is that the same thing? Here is link if you want to try on Mate 10. This is the beta2 version

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] mscion:
Hi. What does HDR+ do. I just saw a friend that has the pixel 2 xl and compared portrait mode between Mate 10 and Pixel. Just did a couple of shots. Both took good shots but it seems that the background is a little less blurry using the Pixel camera. That is, both blur the background to focus on subject but it was to a lesser degree on the PIxel. But I also tried using the wide aperture on the Mate 10 and to me it made I nicer "portrait" shot. But this was not a rigorous comparison and is subjective. Hopefully other "experts" can compare.

EDIT: Ok. I see that hdr+ improves lighting. Not sure if issue with Mate 10 but it would be interesting to try.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] eruanii:
It's really portrait mode however the photos it produce are not usable. The portrait mode of google camera works with Hdr+ which cant be enabled in mate 10 as aotm. What happens it take a single bluish photo ( probably the first shot from the supposed hdr+) and then it blurs the background.

Any news about new version of Gcam?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] fitness33:
Hi. First of all i must say a Big Thanks to the developers that ported gcam in mate 10 pro. I have downloaded the modified apk of Page 3. Back portrait mode is working perfect with some blueish tint. the portrait photos are fine especially in extremely low light scenes. i port the photo to snapseed and i correct the blueish tint.

As for the hdr+, the three options (off , auto, on) are enabled in the menu of gcam. I have taken some nice daylight photos with hdr enabled but i can't really say if it really works (for example the clouds are really deep blue and vivid). Front prortrait mode doesn't work ATM.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] novastar1:
The answer to that is in the eye on the beholder

I upgraded from a mate 9 to a mate 10 only because I wanted to try the camera.

Lots of non techie geeks were very very impressed by what my mate 9 could do

Hdr+ gives to much of a "processed" look to me... But others prefer it

It's dependent on proprietary hardware in the snapdragon and on the "pixel visual core" in the pixel 2

So hardly likely that this will ever be fully ported to a Kirin based device (and a simultaneous dual sensor one at that)...... So expect the devs to get gcam to work but without the features that are hardware dependent

However I had a Nexus 6 and the gcam mod was miles ahead of the stock app

The only thing I would change is that I'd prefer if they level of jpeg compression could be adjusted

My now deceased LG G4 used to produce 6mb sided jpegs easily... But the mate 10 (and 9) jpegs are half that size

It may be more efficient compression but I can't help but wonder if the end product would look better with less compression

Try miniuser123 version for the exynos soc, there is v6 already but it does not seem to work, use v4 instead.

Portrait works on back camera with blueish tint. I use Google photos to boost color temp and saturation looks really good then, much more details than stock cam

HDR works with a blue tint that can be adjusted by boosting saturation and color temperature a little

Been scouring the official website for all the released apks by all the devs working on the mod an finally, Mod8.3b_IDan_v2_Exy.apk (I cannot URL cuz' #newuserthings), you can find it at : "celsoazevedo.com"

So the back camera works with blue tint and hrd+ but don't open front camera, will crash the system and you need to restart the system. For portrait front and back keep using this(blue tint) :GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6.apk

Has anyone flashed this factory image yet? Does it break TWRP and/or Magisk?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
I haven't yet, but expect it to break things if you flash it like that. Though if you sideload and update from a factory image it'll do a full wipe unless you edit the flash script.

Tentatively the following process should work:

- Flash factory image after removing wipe flag

- Boot TWRP image

- Flash TWRP zip

- Flash kernel

- Flash Magisk

Everything should work normally at that point.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Wouldn't the OTA not work since the system has been mounted via TWRP? Flashing the factory image should update fine and OTA shouldn't be needed (unless I'm wrong).
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beretta143:
Hi, update received.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
This was my understanding as well, but if you're side loading the full image, then it probably wipes everything and you have to nandroid backup/restore. Just a guess at this point though. We need a guinea pig.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] guapinoy:
Here's what I did. I uninstalled Magisk using the uninstall.zip. I flashed both stock boot.img and dtbo.img. I adb sideloaded the OTA which was walleye-ota-opm1.171019.013-5ccf0b20.zip approx 1.1 gig. I'm updated to Build OPM.171019.013 Jan 5 Patch.

I then flashed TWRP.img, installed TWRP.zip, then installed Magisk 15.2.

If anyone has an easier method. Let me know!

I've found that using old ADB tools will not flash the factory image properly. I was using a tool that an XDA member provided that had adb binaries from 2015 and kept getting errors when trying to use the flash-all.bat from the factory image. If you guys get stuck with something, update your adb and fastboot tools from the latest platform tools. It will save you a headache.

I've seen the Redmi Note 4 getting more or less regular updates and MIUI 9 is quite stable. Can the same be said for the Mi5 ??
