Thanks for your amazing work cstark27.

Two questions:

1. What is the changelog from LGN1** / LGW1** to LGN2** / LGW2** ? (other than the hexagon DSP on reboot. Also, what were the reboot issues earlier?)

2. What is the difference between variant 1 and 2?
[Google Camera Mods] ftomek:
Hello, these mods are working very well on my unrooted Galaxy S7 Exynos, but each time after making a photo and exiting the app, my SD-Card is blocked by it. No other app has access to the SD-Card until I reboot the phone. Is there any fix for it?

Best regards and thank you so far,

Frank

Any word on one for the v40 thinq.. I u been using the one for v35 but when u moved the phone its really choppy and when you take a photo it takes for ever.
[Google Camera Mods] unimatrix725:
*BUG* Audio Focus

I noticed if I use the recording feature app maintains audio focus, even after exiting. IDK if that's correct term. I usually bluetooth &or use wire headphones w/ XiiaLive. When playing audio in another app select record in G. Camera app correctly grabs audio & pauses other apps audio out. When returning to media player audio refuses to play. App states its playing, but audio is muted.

I discovered if you go to app info setting & force quit Google Camera app, audio resumes. IMO seems odd it blocks output to use microphone? I have used a different camera app & it records the media player & input from microphone also.

I'm not sure how hard this is to correct. I would think simple..? Just a matter of making app cleanly exiting? Perhaps a switch or prompt?

PS: I'm really impressed & appreciate your work! I tell everyone who can comprehend.

about LG V30+

Hello everyone,

What is the best version for Lg V30+? Can u help me?

Thank you.
[Google Camera Mods] Swede3519:
If you still have nougat it will not work.

(Edit: Sorry, saw you had the V30, then you have Oreo)
[Google Camera Mods] Robin Berg:
Hi

It seems that some versions works for some, and not for others on the V30. NoHex_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk seems to work great on mine, but have to test it more.

Also, if you try it.....
[Google Camera Mods] AvroeArrow:
For my stock LG V30 (LG-H933) the Variant 2 versions seem to work the best. No more crashing/reboots like the earlier LGN1/LGW1 builds. The Variant 1 builds often takes 2 taps on the shutter button to take a picture like some others have encountered. The Variant 3 build... the camera toggle is kinda annoying and if you select 16 megapixel resolution for the Normal camera, then toggled to the Wide camera it loses the resolution setting. If you select 12 megapixel for Normal, then it retains it for Wide. The earlier LGx1 rebooting builds with the same toggle mechanism did the same thing of losing the Wide resolution. So the Variant 2 works the best for me.

For those who are getting a green tint on the Front camera, try this setting that was mentioned earlier in this thread way back with the LGx1 builds:

BSG Mod Settings> Saturation> Front Camera: Shadow Saturation: 1.0

This helped me eliminate the green tint (in non-HDR mode) or majorly lessen it (in HDR+/HDR+E mode) on the Front camera. There are a few other Saturation/HDR tweaks that were mentioned earlier in this thread so you can search for them to try. I just downloaded this version today so I haven't done extension testing & tweaking with it yet.
[Google Camera Mods] stewie-droid:
v1 and v2 won't install on Lg V20 at all. It looks like its for oreo and higher? I'm still on Nougat 7.0. There is some many variants i don't know which is latest right gcam for my v20??
[Google Camera Mods] PhantomAndroid:
You'll need to upgrade to Android Oreo to have any chance of running GCam 6.1 if I remember correctly. I would highly recommend you upgrade to Android 8.0 since I find that it's actually a lot smoother and more stable as well.
[Google Camera Mods] xerostatus:
Is there any consensus at all on which variant works best so far for the V20?
[Google Camera Mods] Z23:
I own a G5, which is the same phone generation. I mostly stay with Cstark 4.2 T3, which has no night mode but works very stable. Sadly, all newer versions have proven unstable. Crashes, tapping double to take photo... Its not fun for real use.
[Google Camera Mods] nkirk:
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2+.apk has given me minimal crashes. I use that for everything except front snaps and video. For front snaps cstark 5.x 4t3 is used and for video none can beat the stock cam. There are later versions out there but didn't feel the need to to use them. Posting jfyi..

[Google Camera Mods] pete284:
NoHex_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk is the only one that works on my V20. The other variants open fine but the camera crashes while it is processing the image.
[Google Camera Mods] nola mike:
So having a hard time keeping all the cameras straight. I'm going to make a list of cameras that I've tried (V30, Pie ROM), and try to update with new information and others' experiences (please tag me if you'd like to add your response to this post). Going to keep it V30 specific, and identify if you're oreo v. pie, stock or custom rom. I've only tested some of the functions on most of these, and all have at least one of 3 shortcomings. 1) Front cam has green tint (I haven't been able to get the fixes to work). 2) No wide camera/resolution resets when switching between wide/normal. 3) Flash timing is off, flash shuts off right as shutter trips.

lgn_bsg-test-8.1.apk No flash

lgn2_bsg-test-8.1.apk No flash

bsg-test-8.1.apk No Flash

MGC_6.1.021* Green/Doesn't keep resolution on camera switch

CaMMera_3.2.045_A6.0.apk ?5.x port?

G4Camera_2019.apk ?5.x port?

LGN1_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d Green Front cam, No ZSL

LGN2_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d.apk Green Front cam

MGC_6.1.021_B-S-G-based_v.0.4TlnNeun_Fu24-Tele.apk Wide Only, Green Front cam

MGC_6.1.013_B-SG-based_v.0.4_TlnNeun.apk Green Front cam, No ZSL

MGC_6.1.021_RP1_V1.3.0-BSG.apk Green Front Cam

MGC_6.1.021_RP1_V1.0.0T.apk Crashes
[Google Camera Mods] attom93:
You can solve the green tint problem probably in many versions by setting the front camera's shadow saturation from 1.6 to 1.0 (Settings->BSG MOD Settings->Saturation)
[Google Camera Mods] zawias92:
so ive installed

Variant 3, Combined lens APK (try Fix Buffer option for laggy viewfinder):

NoHex_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk

but im a bit confused....does combined stands for standard+wide? i cant find toggle to switch to wide angle anywhere on my h850 (4.2t3 swtiching works just fine). so is there some hidden switch or i gotta use 2 apps?

I've found that it helps somewhat, but doesn't come close to taking an acceptable picture.

I've run into some problems trying to install multiple cameras however; seems most of them have the same package name. I've been trying to find an easy way to change the package name or otherwise install them in parallel without success. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I saw multiple post regarding save location (especially for SD Card I guess), but no answer.

I am on LG G6 H870, and there is no option to select save location.

Btw I don't know if other people faced this issue : when I take a photo with gcam, and then select it from the thumbnail, photo is open, but no way to zoom or to slide to other pictures.

Thanks
[Google Camera Mods] Big Boy Laroux:
No SD card option on GCam, as Pixels do not have SD cards. No devs have ever added the option, as far as I know.

The other issue you are describing is related. You can't slide to other pictures because your other pics are on your SD card.
[Google Camera Mods] leejaywon:
is there any GCam based on ver. 6?
[Google Camera Mods] amdultra:

[Google Camera Mods] viktor92:
I've tried a version with Night Sight that was very stable on my LG G5, and despite the camera app recomended in more than one ocasion to use that function, the result was no different than using HDR+ with the legendary GCcam 5.2 v4.2t3
[Google Camera Mods] shamsul007:
unfortunately this is a missing feature from the apk im using. LGN2_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d.apk

[Google Camera Mods] banesi:
I am using same model and just started to test GCam. For now I am using cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3.apk available for download from first post. It's working but how well time will tell...
[Google Camera Mods] Stormwing:
Thanks. Turns out one of the later builds (not sure which) kind of broke the DNGs . Multiple converters and processing software fail - Adobe's latest DNG converter can't even detect my files. Not sure which apk it was anymore.

I think the DNGs from the older cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3_fu24 version work, as well as the latest Variant 3/NoHex. If you want to shoot RAW be wary of everything inbetween, I suppose? Can't fix the front cam green tint on NoHex though.

Also a noob question about SD cards, since none of these natively allow saving to external storage. I've only tried the very outdated XInternalSD Xposed module as I'm very behind on the Magisk game. Using XInternalSD causes all of these cameras to complain that I'm running out of space - even when I'm not - and then close themselves.

Hi all, I use a LG G5 und would lime to try Gcam6 with Night sight. But every time I try to install the App there is an error like: "Beim Parsen des Pakets ist ein Fehler aufgetreten". This is german and means: "There is an issue parsing the package". I have no problem with Gcam 5.1.018 (from cstark and fu). But since 5.2 I have to face that.

My mobile: rooted LG G5 with LineageOS 14.1

Anyone any Ideas? Thanks in advance!
[Google Camera Mods] elhennig:
As you use a LOS ROM, you probably run into the same problem as I did. The package name conflicts sometimes with the installed camera app in the system. You need to remove it first and reboot, cleaning cache and dalvik before you can install the package.

EDIT: I tried to answer with the xda app before, but that did not work, so I tried again with the browser version.

Problems viewing photos with GCam

I am having a problem with my google camera.. I am using (cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3.apk)... I am having 2 problems and sorry if this has been brought up previously... When I take a picture and then review it, the picture will show for a brief second and then go black - if I double tap on the black screen the photo will show again.. Also if I swipe to view previous photos it will also go black or show incorrect photos. The second problem that I noticed is when using the camera "blur" feature it will only display in landscape - even when the phone is in portrait orientation.

I think this has something to do with the upgrade to Oreo. Tried a few other apk's but they all display this problem..

Side not is that I noticed all the photos that have been uploaded to google photos that were taken with GCam are all corrupt now?

Using LG V20 DS990 (V20a-AME-XX) Not rooted and did a factory reset before upgrading to Oreo.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, if [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] could include a toggle in his versions which deactivates the hexagon DSP, maybe LG users could also use his awesome work.

Here's some new versions to try. I only disabled the Hexagon DSP to alleviate performance/reboot issues with LG phones again. All credits to original authors. As I don't have a LG or good test device, you'll have to decide which works best for you guys (if any).

Some, all, or none of these newer builds may have more options to fix selfie green tint among other possible issues.

If you don't mind, could you tell us how this is done? In the future, maybe I can make a script or something to do this to "any" future GCam release...

If you don't want to post the info publicly, I wouldn't mind getting a PM about it.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
You have to decompile the APK, apply the change, then recompile it. To see (and verify) the difference, you could use tools like WinMerge to compare directories of decompiled APK's.

The modified file for 6.1.021 is cnp.smali and it's just a matter of redirecting the code. It's a rather simple edit to be honest. The modified file and method will change with each new official Google Camera update.

[Google Camera Mods] Loris14:
What is the difference between HDR+ and HDR+ Enhanced?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Yep; shutter speed is increased anywhere from 1/2 second to over 1 second, depending on available light. The current version is very aggressive for some phones like my V30. I will add a couple options in the next version to dial this back.

HDR+ is Zero Shutter Lag. On the Pixels there is little difference...some specific scenarios will be better exposed with Enhanced but in my experience that is far and few between and you lose a big benefit, Zero Shutter Lag. But on some LG phones (and maybe other phones suffer from this too) the exposure balance is noticeably weaker than Enhanced.

HDR+ Enhanced doesn't necessarily take more photos but it offers a higher dynamic range at the cost of shutter delay. I think it employs a different metering method.

[MENTION=8675556]AlphaGoZero[/MENTION] thanks for sharing! :D
[Google Camera Mods] dar_zen:
HDR+ Enhanced always underexposes the image based on the brightest part of the image. on phones with bad cameras the image is very noisy.
