I could load your config but the version is on the V20 more unstable than the NoHex_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a.apk I'm using right now. But like I said. Night sight is not that important to me.
[Google Camera Mods] Jogg3r:
With what are you taking pictures? Hdr+ or hdr Enhanced? If I'll only go with HDR+ there is absolutely no difference between pictures captured with GCam or with stock cam (settings hdr on as default). But if I'll use enhanced there is a way better picture with more details and better exposure of course. There is half a second shutter lag but for daily use its the best for me. So I guess I'll stick with Gcam and hdr Enhanced as my daily driver camera. What are your thoughts? (LG V20 btw)

Any update for newer version for Samsung Galaxy S8 Snapdragon?

This is an old version pixel app. Is There any update for newer version for Samsung Galaxy S8 Snapdragon?
[Google Camera Mods] PHYCLOPSH:
Here's my custom config for V35 / V40. Great for daily use, a good combination of shutter speed and detail trade-off for low light scenarios and moderate file sizes. May be compatible with other models as well.

Enjoy! :good:

green photos

on my lg g6 the front camera give me green photos. Solutions?
[Google Camera Mods] djskribbles:
Would like to know how to fix this, too. Seems to be a common issue with LG phones and v6 Gcam. On other Gcam v6 builds, you can get rid of the green tint by simply disabling HDR on the front cam, however this doesn't seem to work on the Arnova build unfortunately.
[Google Camera Mods] grushnickij:
It can be done with the right settings. I don't remember which setting change exactly did the trick, but I believe it to be the camera model config that made the green hue go away.

Settings/Mod settings - advanced/hdr+ parameters - base/config; i use Pixel2017 HW Zsl hdr+ (see Screenshot)

I also attached my config file if you want to try it. With these settings everything works for me, except that on front cam you have to use HDR+ or HDRoff, all other modes (HDR+ enhanced, NightSight, Portrait...) produce greenish pics.

If you don't know how to apply .xml settings look here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog380/

H870, AEX 6.5, Arnova's Advanced 1.5
[Google Camera Mods] djskribbles:
That gets rid of the green tint, but at least on the G5, using the Pixel2017 HW Zsl hdr+ config seems to not use HDR at all, which would explain why it would not have green tinted photos. BSG's HDR config seems to produce the best results on the G5 at least. Problem is the HDR is broken on the front camera using this config.
[Google Camera Mods] grushnickij:
[MENTION=3720643]djskribbles[/MENTION]

I wasn't aware you're on the G5. Sorry, can't help you there.
[Google Camera Mods] firefox89:
I tried your settings on my LG G6:

1 all photos seem to have warm tones

2 with front camera no green tone with normal photos but with portrait yes.
[Google Camera Mods] Z23:
Green tint is a G6 only problem, not for the G5.
[Google Camera Mods] djskribbles:
I have green tinted photos on the front cam using the BSG HDR config. and when HDR is enabled. Turning HDR off fixes it on most builds, but not Arnova's advanced build for some reason... seems like HDR doesn't properly get disabled because it still processes the photo afterwards. Reading through this thread, v20 owners seem to be complaining about green photos on the front cam, too.

Syncing foto from internal storage to SD card

Hey guys,

since Gcam doesnt allow saving fotos to SD card, i have created this app which runs service in backround and moving data from internal storage to SD card. feel free to try it here

cheers ;)

LG V30

hello everyone guys :D

I have recently purchased a lg v30 and would like to install the google camera to get a better camera performance.

in the initial post indicates the version cstark27 v4.2 [cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3.apk], but if I go on the celsoazevedo's site I see newer versions.

Which do you recommend me? :eek:
[Google Camera Mods] PhantomAndroid:
I would definitely stick with a 5.1 or 5.2 version. Cstark stopped development on the v20/v30 months ago, so your best bet would be to go with ports from fu24.

On my v20, the most stable version is GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18d1.apk

For version 6 of GCam, the most stable version for my v20 is MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d_fu24-01g.apk

Your mileage may vary!
[Google Camera Mods] eunuss:
Need latest g cam version with night mode

I need g cams latest version with night mode for lg g5 naugat.

Plz if any one can help.

Thanx in advance.
[Google Camera Mods] PhantomAndroid:
You need to upgrade to Oreo. None of the version 6 GCam's will work on Nougat. Especially not Night Sight.
[Google Camera Mods] viktor92:
I'm running cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3_fu24-05g.apk and so far it's the best camera for the G5, except for recording where the stock one is still better.

https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3_fu24-05g.apk
[Google Camera Mods] xivera:
I do the same on my V20

:highfive:
[Google Camera Mods] schwinn8:
Does version 6 work for nightsight and does it solve the issue with a green tinted selfie-camera?

I've had good luck with GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850 after loading the V30.xml settings. Nightsight works, but the selfie stays green tinted. Not a huge deal, as I don't take many selfies anyway... and I still have the stock cam to work with if I want to.
[Google Camera Mods] woldranger:
I'm struggling with downloading a more recent version on my V20 H910 running stock 7.0 (can't root it or I'll lose access to the banking apps I need for traveling!).

Can anyone explain how I work my way through the huge list of apk's to find the once that will be compatible? I've tried a couple of the most recent version and keep getting parsing errors.
[Google Camera Mods] C D:
GCam 6 only works on Android 8.0 (Oreo) or higher, so you'll have to stick with GCam 5.1 variants such as cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3_fu24-05h.apk, meaning you can't get the Night Sight feature on Nougat. Doesn't the H910 have an official Oreo update?

By the way, GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18d1.apk does not seem to install on my LG V20 LS997 on 7.0 but does install on my V20 H918 on 8.0, so I think that one also needs Oreo or higher.

Regarding V20 users on Oreo, two popular GCam 6 versions seem to be MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d_fu24-01g.apk and NoHex_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a.apk. Every later version out there seems to have more problems such as crashing.
[Google Camera Mods] woldranger:
Ah right, thanks you for pointing that out - no wonder I wasn't getting anywhere :(

Yes it does but I'm not in the US and dont have an active AT&T sim - you need one to be able to update officially - had I known that I would have gone for a different V20 variant.

As you have 2 V20's running different versions of Android would you mind telling me if you think it worth the effort to jump through the necessary hoops to upgrade to Oreo? When it comes to battery life (one of my major concerns), did you notice any impact either way when the H918? How is it working out compared to the LS997 on 7.0?

Normally I root my phones but I've started using the online banking apps and they rarely play nice with rooted devices.

Thanks again for your input - much appreciated.
[Google Camera Mods] C D:
While I haven't used my H918 as a phone yet (bought lightly used, came already rooted, in case I need to switch carriers), I'd say, in my limited use with it, the major two reasons to use Oreo over Nougat on the V20 would be more recent security updates and Night Sight in GCam 6. If you're rooted on Nougat, there are actually a few V20 mods that aren't supported on Oreo at this time (some are discontinued, so they may never be converted to Oreo). Some users say that battery life is slightly better on Oreo while others claim that certain apps gave them problems on Oreo, but I haven't done enough with my H918 to fully confirm those differences yet.

I don't wanna get too far off-topic in this particular thread, but if you're concerned about battery life and considering rooting (an unusually involved procedure for most V20 variants), I detailed the setup on my LS997 daily driver using 4100 mAh Lithium polymer batteries on the V20 Subreddit.

As for some apps not liking root, even when Magisk Hide is enabled, a more extreme solution would be using a "sandboxing" app called Island made by the developer of Greenify.
[Google Camera Mods] cooledi:
I've tried v1.4, v1.5 and v1.6 as well, after importing the .xml, it force closed! Anyone experienced this?:(
[Google Camera Mods] Z23:
Yes the XML file did not work for me either. LG G5.
[Google Camera Mods] rundumdieuhr:
Do you also experience freezes in this version with V30.xml applied? Seems to mainly occur during HDR+ enhanced rendering. The app/photo display then freezes, the phone ignores any key press, and it takes some minutes to recover. It often takes a restart to restore camera functionality for the (stock) camera app.

Except for that I am quite satisfied, particularly nice low-light quality. Rarely red tinted landscape photos in normal situations. Yet, for V30, I have not found any mod which combines night sight (v6), motion and wide angle all in one.
[Google Camera Mods] schwinn8:
I don't get freezing. It does take a bit to process a nightsight image, of course... but it's on the order of a few seconds or so, not minutes. If it helps, I'm on VS996 20j. I just recently switched to Arnova's 1.6 version... doesn't seem much different, but it works similarly on my phone.

Interesting, I never bothered to check if I could get wide on nightsight - you are correct that I cannot do that...
[Google Camera Mods] woldranger:
Right, cheers. I'm gonna have a look at putting Gcam on my Mother's Xiaomi Note 5 (it's already on Pie) and have a look and see what difference night sight made on that handset before I commit to messing around with the V20. Not being able to get it whilst running 7.0 is a tad annoying, but the rooting and updating process is ridiculously complicated for the H910 and just to do that for one function of a camera app might be a bit foolish!

I'd really rather not root my phone, there's never a guarantee when it comes to banking apps functioning on a rooted device. I had a quick read about the situation with Island and some people still have issues - Magisk Hide never worked for me on my Samy Note 4 :( When I'm at home I'm not that bothered but when traveling it's really handy being able to use Revolut (fully phone dependant).

Thanks for the suggestion r.e. the Li-Po batteries - I've got 2 Perfine's on order from China. Fingers crossed.

I'll have a bit more of a read up on Island as the cloning app function might be useful. Any more handy suggestions for apps? ;)
[Google Camera Mods] :
How do you stop/fix photos from saving in different subfolders within internal storage everytime you take a pic? Its annoying to have 100s of folders labeled "img" with 2 pics inside as opposed to one main camera folder. Also, is there a built in screen recorder on android 8.0?
[Google Camera Mods] S4turno:
If you guys manage to find better settings, send me the XML and I'll add it to the page.
[Google Camera Mods] cozzzz:
Hi,

I'm using cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3.apk version mentioned in the first post, since I find it to be the most stable on my V30.

Problem is, video resolution only goes up to 1080p even if I go to 30fps, is this the same for everyone? Or is there another stable mod that has 4k video resolution and wide camera? (I also tried GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850 before and it was not a good experience.. same issues as rundumdieuhr mentioned above)
[Google Camera Mods] rundumdieuhr:
Thanks for confirming that. HD 1080p is the limit on any mod for me as well.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Btw, there is a new version of Arnova's mod out:

"Arnova's Advanced 1.6: Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6.190614.0200.apk (Arnova8G2, 2019-06-14, configs, changelog)"

available from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk939

Having re-applied V30.xml, this mod seems to work fine for me. I figure that reducing the frames for enhanced HDR+ to 3 or 5 (in Settings -> Mod settings -> HDR+ parameters) helps prevent the freeze during processing.

Plus, we can also enable the "Motion" function (in Settings -> Photo -> Advanced -> Others) to appear in the options bar. Terrific!
[Google Camera Mods] SantinoInc:
Anyone know if this works with the LG G8?
[Google Camera Mods] ezzony:
I have moved over to LineageOS from stock rom on my LG V20 and I'm hoping to tweak the gcam to give better results. The problems in all gcams I've used is there is way too much deep blacks in every photo. Is there a way in advanced settings to lessen this effect?
[Google Camera Mods] luissancho99:
I cant find how to save the pics on SD card. Isnt it possible yet?
[Google Camera Mods] C D:
Pixel phones don't have microSD card slots, so it's unlikely to ever have that option in Google Camera. The closest thing is using an app such as GCam Tool that can automatically move the photos you take.
[Google Camera Mods] RashidRoger:
Bro I need GCam with NIght sight for my LG G6 . pls can someone provide me . with no lag
[Google Camera Mods] Z23:

[Google Camera Mods] sumomogg:
Thanks for the tip - I'm new to my LG V30 so looking for the best GCam to use.

I've got it working fine but I can't seem to use the wide angle lens - is there a way to get it working do you know ?
[Google Camera Mods] rundumdieuhr:
Yes, it should work. You typically switch to wide angle by long-pressing the circle button in the bottom left corner.

(You might need to enable the secondary camera and the button in settings in case it did not work.)
[Google Camera Mods] goodybags:
If you guys dont mind the lack of features like portrait + night sight, i highly recommend the latest GCam 3.2 from tolyan. Its super stable and the details you get are superb, even in bad lighting conditions! Currently using it on my V20 for around a week and i havent used my other GCam versions unless i need the wide angle
[Google Camera Mods] Z23:
Cstark 4.2t3 is the best choice for stable gcam on LG phones. It sadly does not have nightside which was introduced in gcam 5.
[Google Camera Mods] sumomogg:
Thanks for that - I did need to enable it, it wasn't obvious in settings but it is called 'Auxillary camera switch method' and I had to change it from 'cycle' to 'long press'. Now works like a charm. Also, I must say that this version (Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6.190614.0200.apk) is so far fantastic, been 100% stable for me.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6.190614.0200.apk is working great on my V30 so far, Night-sight too.
[Google Camera Mods] Z23:
Yes, it's my second driver for now. Sometimes it does not switch to wideangle and frontcam does not offer 6MP 16:9 ratio, but it runs smooth on LG G5 with config file and does not crash my device settings app (something many gcam versions do).
[Google Camera Mods] anil1435:
How to apply v30.xml? Where can I download that?
[Google Camera Mods] Z23:
You need to place the file in a gcam/configs folder (intern memory). Don't know where exactly I got the file from, but I followed the links some posts above.

Broken custom Lib function after Android 9 Pie upgrade

One thing I noticed on my V35 since switching to Android 9 pie, is when I go to Settings>Advanced>Libs there is now just an empty area under "Select Lib" where there used to be several options to select from.

There appears to be no way to change Libs anymore, as I tried the newer Gcam 6.2 Advanced as well, and have the same issue as the Arnova's Advanced 1.4/1.5/1.6 versions (6.1 based) which I had been using just fine with custom Libs on Oreo before.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Just playing around with Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.190716.1800-Final.apk. It seems really good, I like how you can add a button to switch lenses witout having to go into a menu first like in Cstark 4.2t3. Not played around too much but it seems stable.

Only major issue is that the front camera on LG V30 comes out with weird colours. There's a front camera fix in the HDR+ control options, which makes the colours not completely wrong, but there's still a pink hue.

[Google Camera Mods] montechristos1:
The suggested version does not even start on mt H870 with Havoc OS. It crashes on startup.
[Google Camera Mods] Bulletinabluesky:
Probably not happy with Havoc OS, I'm on stock Oreo 8.0. Current Havoc must be on Pie now, not sure how much difference that makes, you could perhaps try the newer Gcam 2.x versions if your Havoc is Pie.

The G6 config files are very important, the Camera didn't work all the well without them loaded, maybe load one of the G6 configs before starting the app and see if that helps.
[Google Camera Mods] montechristos1:
Yes, I am running Pie Havoc. I just tried v 2.2 but it also does not start. So I cannot even install the settings...
[Google Camera Mods] Bulletinabluesky:
If you read that config help page I linked to it appears you can install a config without first running the app, just create the correct folder and place the config file inside.
[Google Camera Mods] montechristos1:
I have done just that. The file is in the correct folder.

But how does the app know which filename to load automatically?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Test this version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12MRpe46271tAEZ34m0DoIng2u2ZdmCRS/view?usp=drivesdk

Adaptive Shutter will have a lot higher chance to be blurry as it reduces the shutter speed. Please keep that in mind...
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
The new settings are purely optional. If you don't change anything it will behave the same as the older versions.
[Google Camera Mods] markomil:
Yup, much better. For the g6 i still recommend color fix over the adaptive for the point and shoot situation. Thanks [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]

[Edit]

Just tried the front facing, i think that hdr isnt doing much. Pics are really similar to thr stock app except theres the pink tint (both wide and regular apps)
[Google Camera Mods] starrynighthn:
With v3.6, if I turn on Adaptive Shutter Speed then take a shot, device will be freeze then automatically restart. I'm on Oreo. Maybe it's a memory bug? Only this setting got problem. Sorry for can not provide log.

[Google Camera Mods] remondz:
What is the difference between v3.6 and v3.6_focustest?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
The test version removes the HDR+ Enhanced Forced on Portrait Mode (the setting is still there, I just removed the other code). After this was introduced I started seeing complaints from G6 users. I think I'm missing a safety check somewhere still. The way it does it is kind of "weird" and messes with a parameter that affects focus on other devices (though, it's supposed to /fix/ focus on those).
[Google Camera Mods] aakanayev:
Slow shutter makes a huge difference. gcam v3.6 on the left, note8 stock camera on the right.

On the LG G5 everything works great.

Just sometimes on low light with the normal version only not the wide version, there is some vertical lines

You can see here : https://imgur.com/a/lLvQI

#1 Normal cam with flash on in low light

#2 Normal cam with no flash on in low light

#3 Wide cam with flash on in low light

#4 Wide cam with no flash on in low light

Also, I have a question ? Why do the lens blur mode doesn't have any options like the flash and other ?

Because it's impossible to use the lens blur more in low light, the screen is black and we can't see anything because somehow it makes the camera with very low contrast or luminosity and it says "Can't capture this shot" but it somehow makes a file anyway. See here : https://imgur.com/a/xsFzR
[Google Camera Mods] chris509:
[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION], on my zenfone 3 gcam 3.6 with the adaptive shutter speed activaded in indor scenarios works well with different speed as I change the settings, but in low light (ex: street at night), the speed is only 1/2" for every setting I mark. In difficult scenarios don't matter what config I put slow, slowest, slower... the results are always the same: 1/2" with the exactly same iso. Is it supposed to be in this way?
