Thanks a ton for saving our G6

Bro I was about to throw away my LG G6 just after purchase looking into it's camera output. After using Nexus6p for a long time it was simply unacceptable to use such bad quality pictures but you saved our LG G6 in camera department. Thanks a ton and I hope you keep your spirits high for future development in LG camera domain for Oreo and more :)

I noticed that on the versions of cstark (normal and wibe) when you activate the HDR + mode in the circle does not exit the tick (v). Can you tell me why? It's normal?
[Google Camera Mods] stanleyopar2000:
FYI: please stop quoting the OP if you want to thank [MENTION=2712580]cstark27.[/MENTION]. Its clogging up the damn thread.

Stop it.

Yeah that's normal...On the Aranova build in the Oneplus thread that feature worked when you set it to nexus 6. But I can assure you that hdr+ is working.
[Google Camera Mods] ChazzMatt:
Right. We already know what the OP says. We don't need to see it again. It's literally post #1 of the thread. It's THERE already.

The ONLY reason to EVER quote an opening post is if you have a question about SOMETHING in the opening post. And even then, you NEED to edit that down to the specific part you have a question about.

Next topic would be people who don't even read the OP before asking questions... ;)

Hi everyone, I've found which settings cause problems on Oreo. After testing many times, when device lost sound, hang, reboot,... only by taking shot with gcam. The main flag create problems is camera.raisr. You also have to turn off use_photos. Attachments are my current settings on Arnova82 Pixel2Mod V6

Hello. This may have been brought up before but I notice the portrait mode with the front camera using the normal camera doesn't turn out good at all but the portrait mode with the front camera on the wide camera works great. Any reason for this? I'm using an LG V30

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]

Many thanks, is it possible to reduce the contrast especially in the dark parts of the image? it just crashes the shadows sometimes.
[Google Camera Mods] york824:
These are my favorite apps on my LG V20. Took hundreds of photos with them and most of them look great. Thanks again for your hard work.
[Google Camera Mods] likecookies:
I noticed the same thing it also only has one photo as when I do the portrait with the camera for selfies has 2 photos in the folder.
[Google Camera Mods] axorazor:
this app works with the front camera? thanks very much for the help
[Google Camera Mods] remondz:
What do you mean by "doesn't turn out good at all"?

This might be just V30 related because on my G6 the portrait mode with the front camera works fine in both versions (regular and wide) and I have 2 photos in the folder every time I use portrait mode.

Yes, you can use HDR+, HDR+ enhanced or portrait mode with the front camera.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
I haven't looked closely but what's new that is needed?

Panorama mode is programmed to use the rear facing camera so Google programmed it in a way that it makes the Camera ID 0 load up instead of Camera ID 2 (wide). I'll admit I haven't bothered to look into this because Panorama quality is pretty bad on my V30 and I haven't been able to find a fix for it.

The Pixel 2017 HDR+ Config that is used does not use the checkmark on HDR+ icon. HDR+ is always active unless you take too many photos.

RAISR is the algorithm to enhance zoomed photos but I don't know if it actually works on these ports. I don't have Oreo on my V30 to see why it's crashing (Pixel 2 runs cstark27 mod fine). You can try to do a logcat the next time a crash happens on Oreo.

The front camera code is the same between the versions and I see no difference in my tests. There is a setting in Advanced>Forced on Portrait Mode that forces HDR+ Enhanced on Portrait Mode. Make sure you have the same setting on both versions of the app. Maybe one version you enabled this but not on the wide version. There was a test version (3.6_focustest) posted a while ago that disabled this internally, no matter if you turned that setting on. I would advise you double check you only have v3.6 from the OP and are using the right shortcut. Sometimes it gets confusing when all the different versions have the same shortcut name. But newer versions list their version in the About in Settings.
[Google Camera Mods] Charbleach:
There seems to be a crashing issue on the Verizon V30 units on Android 8.0. I am experiencing these issues too whenever I am in the app. It will work fine for a few minutes, but then will freeze up and reboot the phone. This issue did not occur on Nougat. Other users are having the same issue. How can we go about fixing this? The camera app otherwise works 100%.

Check the post above yours.
[Google Camera Mods] lcparente:
Guys, does anyone here find a solution to keep the exposure in the Lens Blur mode normal?

During the day it is not too much noticeable; but, during the night it is clear that this option is darkening the pictures =\

I am using LG G6 Stock ROM and [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] version 3.6 both wide and normal lens =)
[Google Camera Mods] starrynighthn:
For those who have problems with Oreo. Try set up like this.

Turn on HDR+ Enhanced, turn off camera.raisr.
[Google Camera Mods] Boslink:
Is it normal that focus does not seem to work on both lenses? Works fine with the original cam where the ligting gets adjusted based on the focus.
[Google Camera Mods] Doct93:
Hi guys, I'm using the latest version of cstark27, in my opinion the best one currently available for my G6. I ask for help from G6 owners who are much more experienced than me: do you share the screens of your developeng settings? I have the G6 H870, no root, with Android 7.0

My DS, errors?

It apear that P10 don't have the same definition and depth. Ok, V30 is better.... But, how about the clarity of V30 Auto in low light, compared to cstark mod where the exposure is a little pour (darker)? Is not first time when I observed that LG Auto is slightly efficient in low light.
[Google Camera Mods] Hisma:
is there any reason to believe that this app may be causing serious battery drain? It doesn't seem to show up in my list of apps associated with high battery consumption, but over the last few weeks my battery performance has gotten awful, when previously the phone was great on battery. The only change to the phone I've made over the past few weeks is installation of this modified camera app.

Anyone have any ideas?

Also, the app is unstable. It takes great photos, when it works, but it freezes and fc's about 20% of the time I bring it up. Running the 3.6 version.
[Google Camera Mods] ralaud:
This app is not running a service in the background. Therefore it should not cause battery drain if it is not used. On my LG G6 it is working fine. I recommend you to take a logcat, otherwise no one can help you.
[Google Camera Mods] manishvy:
I also observed the same. Auto focus doesn't work most of the times resulting blurry images. But if you touch and focus, it works most of the times.
[Google Camera Mods] Miq07:
Thank you for all the good work!

One question - i get small red dots in dark images, like hot pixels or smthng. Anyone else having the same problem on G6? Is there a fix for it?

Thanks!
[Google Camera Mods] Lyvyoo:
Regarding the focus, I missed from the original LG app only the tracking focus function, that work great on moving objects.
[Google Camera Mods] jjsero7:
Same here low light or dark parts of the picture!

Not in any of the other versions (bsg etc) or stock only in cstark 3.6
[Google Camera Mods] partylikeaninjastar:
Because then you wouldn't have to switch between apps just to zoom in and zoom out... I don't understand how you don't see an advantage of it being one app. The stock camera effortlessly switches between wide and standard lens. For good reason.

When I take a photo in portrait mode, it saves every single pair of photos into a new folder. That makes no sense and it makes even less sense that someone should have to open their file manager after every single photo they take just to put the photos into a logical directory on their phone.

Being able switch camera lens and have your photos saved somewhere logically aren't unnecessary features.
[Google Camera Mods] Postmanpl:
How can I set GCam to use microSD card instead of internal memory? I cant find that option....
[Google Camera Mods] Maximus41:
Gcam app fixes the portrait saving issue by moving the files automatically to a folder of your choice straight after they are taken.. I have been using it for weeks and works a treat..
[Google Camera Mods] rm8226:
Google made its pixel 2 portrait mode open source now we can hope that next updates will improve portrait mode
[Google Camera Mods] Sid@developer:
Deeplab V3+ source codes have been released by Google!!!!

Portrait mode on objects will work soon?
[Google Camera Mods] ChazzMatt:
Google Pixel doesn't have microSD card -- so that option isn't there on their camera.

Ever since the gen3 Galaxy Nexus, Google has not had microSD cards on their phones. They say it hinders performance.
[Google Camera Mods] Postmanpl:
oh, thats a shame :/ i just bought some ultra fast microSD (100MB/s write speed) for taking photos and capture movies :/
[Google Camera Mods] ChazzMatt:
It's a much requested feature for sure, but this was the answer I got when I asked the same question months ago:
[Google Camera Mods] bega2003:
sorry, because when I take the picture I see the words "series of burst photos (5 seconds)" and when I look after the shot, I see "previous page" and "next page"?

thanks
[Google Camera Mods] maester83:
really a great news, I hope that [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] can soon work on it and give us a release, is it currently stopped?
[Google Camera Mods] semifast:
there is no necessity to move pics after "every single" pic.

https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/14/...rtrait-mode-ai-image-segmentation-open-source

So, they made some stuff open source, but not the actual portrait mode code used in the Pixel 2.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
It's not really stopped per se, but I'm in the middle of selling and buying a new house so I'm very busy. I'm not as skilled as other developers so it takes me a long time to implement something, too.

I'm disappointed so many sites picked up that one Reddit thread and went with OP's conclusion. It was obviously not "Pixel 2's Portrait Mode" being open sourced.

Side note: 5.2.019... seems to remove Nexus HDR+ configs, crashes instantly on launch on non-Pixels...not sure what Circus mode is, haven't been able to enable it on my Pixel 2 yet but am trying.

Side note 2: I'll probably sell my V30 when the HTC U12 is released.
[Google Camera Mods] seloka180:
thank you
[Google Camera Mods] SHosp:
CStark27, thanks for all your hard work and effort on this. Question, is it possible to create an single app where you use the normal and wide and not have the front camera at all? (i.e. 0 and 2) Switch between them the same as you do for the front facing camera only it goes between normal and wide.
[Google Camera Mods] B4kcs4:
I do not have this toggle. Actually I did not have it in any version from cstark I've tried.

I have tried skulshady's mod and the toggle is there, but that one has some purple cast on the pictures so not usable for me.

[Google Camera Mods] bnevets27:
I was going to ask the same question. I would like this also as I don't use the front camera.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
What phones? Does the message show up with the Disable ZSL button turned on?

Sorry, I do not own this device. I also believe most Moto phones run 32 bit OS which is not compatible with newer GCam versions.

The last time I tried, the app would crash. I think because both lenses are named the same. But I know a little more these days and can try again. However, putting all 3 lenses in one app is still my goal so I'd like to spend more time on that first.

OIS and EIS work on my V30 - I presume it's grabbing info from the API and your system automatically. Maybe skulshady's enforces the setting? I'll have to look.

Historically this has caused purple tint on my V30.
[Google Camera Mods] aer0zer0:

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] thank you so much for your port!

On the US Note 8, usung your latest build, portrait mode only works with the front camera. Launching portrait mode with the rear camera gives a black screen. This didn't use to be a problem with your earlier builds. What can I do to help you debug this? There is no crash---just no picture. Thanks!
[Google Camera Mods] Maximus41:
I have had similar results from pictures of faces.
[Google Camera Mods] fahmi182:
If you want like pixel 2 xl its need dual-pixel and dual-pdaf sensor module, like imx362.. the setting is on developer settings, enable pd and pd-blur i think.
[Google Camera Mods] dustinmangini:
LG V20 user here + first-time "cstarker". I'm getting pretty phenomenal shots and most everything appears to be working, however, it seems to save every portrait mode shot into it's own folder within the default camera folder, each containing the unadulterated image as well as the "portraitized" version. Maybe there's an easy fix for this that I'm missing? (tried toggling off auto create under burst settings and still does it) If not then my only suggestion would be fixing this. Other than that though you did a phenomenal job and I'm getting incredible shots from it so thank you kindly ❤️❤️❤️
[Google Camera Mods] aer0zer0:
That's the way it is.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
I think something with your settings got messed up because the Portrait Mode stuff is pretty internalized and I didn't alter anything there. I would double check that Developer Settings>enable PD and pd blur is OFF. If that still doesn't work then clear app data and see. I wish you luck ?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Yep that's correct. Unfortunately, when turning those options on, with my port, even on a Pixel 2, it doesn't work (black screen). Very few phones have dual pixel PDAF though so I probably won't spend time looking into that.

I think the closest candidate would be the Note 8 and S8's but I think some sensor numbers need to be forced in the code because I doubt Samsung has that info in the API. And then, the numbers may not be right for their sensor and the results could be even worse than the current Portrait Mode.
[Google Camera Mods] dragion:
When those are enabled, the "portrait" mode is nonfunctional and only a black screen appears...this effects the rear camera.

Thanks for the help though. :good:
[Google Camera Mods] Mastamike:
I'm on Nokia 8 and I had it maybe the first 5-10 photos but it has disappeared by itself. Strange...
[Google Camera Mods] MarcianoS:
Thanks! That helped! Odd, because I did clear data after installing, but no matter.

The only remaining issue for me is that, when I enable "use photos" in Dev settings, there are weird issues the first time I open photos (from the camera app) right after taking a picture. Basically, the UI freezes. The second time I open photos from the camera app all is fine. Any thoughts [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] ?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
I haven't looked into the issue, but it happens to me too. The built in viewer is more stable imo.

[Google Camera Mods] Wolfsbane58:
I would like, however, to see more wireless chargers come out with the Qi EPP standard to take advantage of the true fast 15w based charging capability of the V30. They are few and far between right now. Most chargers are still the Qi BPP variety that is based on 5w, and then boosted to higher 'fast charging' wattage with a 2amp or 2.1 amp adapter. And the wireless charger controller on the Qualcomm chip on the V30 doesn't recognize those, (necessarily), as 'fast charging'. I saw somewhere where the controller still limit those to around 7.5 w or so because of heat load concerns.
[Google Camera Mods] Live_your_:
Guys for best results the values of frame count and exposure time how supposed to be?

Also adapaptive shutter speed on or off?
[Google Camera Mods] harysviewty:
Depends on how you use it. But I think adaptive shutter speed can be a little bit useless to take selfie in lowlight, it takes 30 seconds to capture one Selfie
[Google Camera Mods] lee_mdk:
It takes 4-5 seconds, at the hardest lighting conditions, actually.

Even though the circle shows like it's still capturing and processing.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] Thank you for your work on this mod. When I first got my Android I didn't think the pictures turned out that great compared to other people's and I was kinda disappointed.

Is there any chance of getting 60fps video working (on either camera)? Seems Google's EIS is running pretty well and is far superior to LG's, and I'd love to have 1080p60 + EIS, which is unavailable in the LG camera.

Big thanks for your work on this, it's really filled in the gap between this phone and the Pixel for me.
[Google Camera Mods] ChazzMatt:
We already have 60fps and higher. See specs below.

Do you mean 4K at 60fps? No, not possible. Even Pixel 2 doesn't have that. See here:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=75855325

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question but LG V30 already has 1080p @ 60fps. And even higher at 720p. These are the specs of the LG V30 camera:

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[Google Camera Mods] aigrumbi:
Yeah, 4k60 is a SD835 limitation. I mean 1080p 60fps with combined OIS and EIS, similar to what the Pixel 2 can do.

LG camera doesn't do electronic stabilization at 1080p60 (on either camera). Try it out now, the video stabilization button ("steady recording") will be grayed out when you switch to 60fps. The main camera will do optical stabilization at 60fps, but the OIS + EIS implemented on the Pixel 2 is far superior.

I do a lot of action sports filming, and 60fps is extremely important for slo-mo capability, so it would be nice to have both of these features. You can always stabilize in post, Google Photos even has it built in now, but the realtime implementation works better with less artifacting from my experience.

In short: Is it possible to add an option in settings to disable audio recording for video?

Why do I need it...

In LG V series the hd audio recorder is excellent. Sometimes on some parties, I like to turn on the recorder and just leave it for all time.

But I would like to do photos during this time...

In native camera app if I do any photo while recording audio, the recording will be stopped:(

Great that google camera does not do that. I can have audio recording on background and do photos with it.

But, if I start video in google camera - the recording will be stopped too. Probably If it would be possible turn audio in video - then it should work. So is it possible?

In fact while recording separately audio, I can do videos without it, and then during processing and editing will be able to add audio too.

There is any way to adjust quickly the exposure? I missed this turtle because the first shot was good exposed but with the eyes out of focus (maybe due to a long exposure time)

View attachment 4451695

and the second shot was too dark.

View attachment 4451696

It seems very hard to expose corectly a macro shot in a sunny day, because the camera wants to keep a balance between background and subject, and I see this cons in many other shots.
