I think the colors on the G6 are just fine without the color fix. Right now it basically just acts as a toggle between blueish shadows and green shadows (which look even worse). This could be fixed by adding manual controls for black levels from BSG version so everyone can play around with the values and customize it.

This is just a workaround for this "amp glow" issue that can't be fixed with setting different black levels. I think it will be present even in Portrait Mode (HDR+ Enhanced Portrait option)... will have to test that later.

And as for ZSL, I think it was fine how it was in v3.3 because if you select HDR+ enhanced once it should stick even if you restart the app (unless you go to settings, then it switches back to HDR+). Or that toggle you mentioned, that would work too.
[Google Camera Mods] basmeuter:
For LG G6 in low light:

I did some small test with the settings for the G6 in low light, made one pic with only adaptive shutter speed, one with only LG G6 color fix, one with both options toggled on, and one without.

HDR+ parameters to medium.

The one with both toggled on is greenish, 'nothing' has magenta cast.

Colorwise both with one setting on is pretty good, but the one with adaptive shutter speed is less noisy and sharper (slightly better colors).

So winner in area without moving things: only adaptive shutter speed on

Winner in moving environment: only color fix
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
It seems like ISO and shutter speed are tied together in GCam that if you don't get the right ratio, I have run into issues where the photo wouldn't capture anymore. But maybe Miniuser's Slow Shutter mod is more versatile...I have not played with the numbers at all yet so we'll see. As mentioned, on my V30, it gets too slow with the current settings. I think on the S7 that Miniuser has, he said it goes as low as 1/10s. However on my V30 it's not hard to get it to go to 1/1s or even longer, I believe, depending on light condition.

The slow shutter mod is not meant to be used when you're taking photos of moving objects. Just like you wouldn't set a 1s exposure time in manual camera settings and expect to take a photo of a moving child. Same philosophy here. The stock Google Camera settings really favors a rapid shutter speed, which can have a lot of noise at night - this mod is meant to help that. It would make more sense to have a menu on the side for "Night Mode" that would activate all this, but I still am not sure how to direct what "module" gets selected.

I will either limit the slowest it can go or offer a "bias" setting like you mentioned...ie, "Slow, Slower, Slowest" or something similar.

The wide angle version does not offer ZSL right now and uses a HDR+ Config that when it's on Auto, it will take a moment to show a checkmark on the HDR+ icon - then it will be HDR+. I would suggest changing it to HDR+ On. The setting should stick until you go into the settings - or just wait for the checkmark icon. This is a (temporary?) workaround because ZSL dynamic range is not very good and it's hard to convey that people should switch to HDR+ Enhanced, on the various forums that this gets posted.

I'm currently not sure where any de-noise parameters are. One of the settings offered in some other versions I tested that say "less noise" seem to alter the white level value which makes highlights even more blown out. Motion Photo use to work but it was turned off by default because sometimes it's not stable. I just tried to turn it on, on my Pixel and it crashes so I broke that feature at some point...would need to investigate but it's not a high priority tbh.

Thanks for the samples. Maybe I can come up with a way to avoid the color correction if Adaptive Shutter is enabled and being used (ie, you're not taking a photo in good light). Will take some research.
[Google Camera Mods] directx1971:
I noticed that there is a misunderstanding here , The slow shutter speed doesn't need color correction as their colors are correct even when using pixel 2 config in the input module which always guaranteed

To give the purple tint in all versions of normal shutter speed , it is also not because the iso is low as we may suspect , to test this i took the attached photo (along with many others that i didn't attach)

As we can see no color cast at all despite i used URI version which can go to high iso in such very low light situations , i repeated the test many times in various very low light situations and they all confirmed

This fact i also double checked his code to confirm that pixel 2 is used in input module , so somehow the long shutter speed is using the correct color values out of the box and i am suspecting it is using a

universal way to correctly calculate the colors based on the color profile of the sensor that's why it doesn't need a correction , that's why when the color correction is used it gives a green cast because it is

designed to balance the purple cast by shifting the image towards the greens so you can get balanced colors instead , in this case there is no purple cast so you end up with a green cast caused by the color fix

If this assumption is true then no one should get a color cast when using the slow shutter module ( new manufactured G6 users included) , so only you guys can confirm this , does anyone still get a color cast

Using the slow shutter speed WITHOUT USING THE COLOR FIX ?

Edit: I want to say this conclusion is important as if the assumption is correct then this color calculation canbe used in the normal shutter as well to correct all color casts for all sensors

(too optimistic may be :) )

I love your app for the cam Cstark27. Now I have the 3.5 version. It takes wonderful photos with the HDR+ activated but after taking some photos my phone freezes. Is Anyone having this problem?

[Google Camera Mods] Nightshadow931:
Adding slow shutter speed to side menu would be quite useful actually.

I'm looking forward to seeing that, and wide camera in the side menu one day ;)
[Google Camera Mods] 1myxomatosis1:
I've notice the same. When taking some more (3-5) photos one by one - phone freezes - like it have lack of processing power... LGV30.
[Google Camera Mods] andriman:
Try taking photos after the previous photos have been processed.

HDR+ takes time and processing power.

You can also reduce the number of frames every HDR+ takes to make it faster (Settings - Advanced).
[Google Camera Mods] yanrachna:
HDR+ need time to process. If we take photos continuously, it will freeze the phone because it used almost all of the ram. That's the bad thing about GCam. :(

For wide camera, I use the version of ArtZ, it uses ZSL, HDR+ work for both front and back cameras. I think you may check the ArtZ version for reference.

Hi!

I was able to install AR stickers on the latest version of cstark camera port. However, it always uses the wide angle lens for that. Also in all other apps that use ARCore, the camera always goes for the wide angle. Is there a way to change this so that it uses the main camera?

Thanks!

I'm using cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3.apk and I can't figure out how to use wide angle selfie camera. It seems like there's only normal angle selfie no metter to which camera I switch by holding green "camera switch" icon (2 arrows) on bottom left corner. Any suggestions?

There's no wide angle selfie lens
[Google Camera Mods] Sid@developer:
Well, I am also facing the same.... Every AR core app uses the Wide angle lens... which is good in one way....But still I would prefer the main lens. I think we need root access to change it.
[Google Camera Mods] pmmleal:
The problem is that the wide angle doesn't have autofocus so it is a big downside. And it also works worse in low light and indoors.

I have root access in my v30 and I would like to know if it's possible to force it.

I already searched in the ARCore folder in \root\data\data\com.google.arcore\files but there's nothing in there.

[Google Camera Mods] Zoombaya:
AR core is supposed to use wide angle lens??

Well, not on my still unrooted H930. It uses the normal lens and picture quality drops dramatically.

Is it because my phone is not rooted? Any ideas?

I use cstark27's latest apk.
[Google Camera Mods] galr:
The Mi6 gcam version has saturation and exposure compensation control in the gcam app settings.. any way we can have that too? The saturation control is amazing to have but the Mi6 app cause random reboots on the V30.

Anyway, would love to have saturation control on this app.
[Google Camera Mods] pmmleal:

I need some help guys (v30 h930 here)

The app didn't want to switch anymore to wide angle. I tried to long press the green button and after switch from the menu, like usual. But nothing happens... In the first weeks after installing 4.2 the app worked perfectly.

There is any setting from Developer menu that can fix this problem?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
You need to disable the Hexagon to fix the reboots. Find that option in the version you're using. Not all versions have it.

Can someone confirm if the latest version (4.2) is compatible with oreo, or should I stick with 3.8 as instructed in the OP?

The only way is to install the last version and test-it. My G6 got updated to Oreo and I am still using 3.8 version, too >.<'
[Google Camera Mods] Azu_icHi:
I am running Oreo (SEA build V20e-SEA-XX) and confirmed that it is working seamlessly. I am more wondering whether this work with G7 as I am thinking to upgrade to G7
[Google Camera Mods] NickNT5:
Well, I've been using this version (4.2) in Oreo, on my LG G6, and it works (almost) flawlessly. I've even enabled Hexagon DSP, to test if it improves performance, and (so far) it does not seem to mess things up.
[Google Camera Mods] firstblud:
Yep. I tried it last night and forgot to update everyone. 4.2 seems to be working fine. To toggle between wide and regular lens is by going to the settings menu and hitting "back" I assume. If there's a more fluid way, please let me know. Otherwise it's all good!

[Google Camera Mods] Mongre:
Ok need a little help with the camera. Forgive me. I am kind of new to having to work on the camera. Just installed Super Rom v4.1. MK2000 kernel on a V20 H91810u.

Originally I flashed because the camera kept crashing when I switched to wide mode. Now, I've tried about 20 cameras. Wide mode works but when I switch to the front camera it crashes. Every time. Over and over. Same issue keeps happening. I can't use the front (selfie) camera

I've tried cstark27 apks HERE, (not sure if i got the right one), cleared the app data on each attempt.

Has anyone else run in to this and did you get it resolved?

I attached the log from the Camera2 Test app.

I ask you more information because the only version that works on my G6 h870 is the 3.8 of cstark27. They are on rom stocks and Oreo. I tried the following versions but the 3.9 does not take the photos, the others are locked after 3/4 / 5 click.

[Google Camera Mods] Emu:
4.2 from OP.
[Google Camera Mods] PhantomAndroid:
On the LG v20 (H918), I've noticed that using HDR+ with flash for the rear camera seems to take quite a long time. It seems to have an issue with hunting for focus as well. The normal v20 camera software seems to be fairly speedy for flash, but the colors are not quite as good. Is there any chance there's a setting that could be added to the software which would reduce the flash time needed?

- 4K resolution video (for both cameras)

- path where to save pics/video (currently I save them in the "external" SD card with the default app)

- time lapse (well...this last one is not important, I've never used it in 2 years :D )

I was just wondering if it was only in my phone that they are missing.

Installed v4.2 on a H930 with Oreo. When I take a picture and click in the lower right corner to review the pic, I only see a blurry version of it and the app freezes (or at least I can not zoom into to picture, move between pictures etc). Clicking the 'back' button I end up on the home screen. The picture has been taken though and can be reviewed with the stock gallery app. But not within the gCam app.

Anybody experienced this and can help? Cheers!

I know it's nitpicking but it would be greatly appreciated.
[Google Camera Mods] kekley:
Is it a common issue with modded gcam to only get good dynamic range on hdr+ enhanced? Hdr+ on will give great detail and a very slight improvement in dynamic range, but there are still a lot of highlights blown out. Meanwhile there is almost nothing blown out on hdr+ enhanced and pictures have a much faster exposure than those taken with hdr+ on.
[Google Camera Mods] harysviewty:
Does it switch to wide or tele lens?
[Google Camera Mods] JarkMackson:
It does switch if I wait for the message to disappear. If I hit back before the message is gone, the camera won't switch lenses.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
For the V30, yes. I don't know why ZSL is so bad on it and it was one of my biggest annoyances. In my testing, HDR Enhanced was the only way to get close (or slightly better sometimes) to the dynamic range of ZSL on a Pixel 2.
[Google Camera Mods] Cj719:
Any planned updates like features from pixel 3 or just more tweaks to your current version. I love gcam on my v30 thanks
[Google Camera Mods] kekley:
Do you think it's possible that the zsl mode is capturing frames at normal exposure rather than the lower exposure hdr+ is supposed to be working with? It would explain why the dynamic range is really only lacking in brighter areas. Would something like that even be fixable or would it require modifying the camera libs?
