Thanks for your thoughts. ZSL already automatically lowers shutter speed, but on the PH1 it's 1/15sec at the slowest. I can handhold the phone down to 1/4sec with minimal blur, so if there's a flexibility to set exposure time like with HDR+E, picture quality of ZSL could be improved a bit while still keeping much faster operation than HDR+E.

thank u so much for the update！

your version is the best for my g5.

but i noticed that when shooting in low light or high iso，there will be some Vertical lines.

and it seems that many g5 has this problem and other app has this problem ,too.

change the camera api level to camera 2 can solve this problem,any chance you can solve this problem?

I am using this Oreo rom: https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/rom-eu-lg-h930-20d-rom-t3780798

I am using both your latest testing builds with just camera.raisr turned off. I have not changed any settings and both apps are working faultlessly.

I dont have any stuttering in hdr+ enhanced mode and handheld almost totally dark exposures are coming out great...

I will update this if anything changes.

[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Guess what guys. [MENTION=4282491]Imaginovskiy[/MENTION] had me looking into some lib file issues with their ROM, and it related to the Hexagon DSP. So that and a discussion I was having with [MENTION=4456903]IDan1109[/MENTION] is what led me to disabling the Hexagon DSP after I felt it was faster. So I was just doing some more digging this morning because in the code it can load the Lib file from the app or the system partition. My V30 on Nougat (STILL!) has the correct Lib file (libadsprpc.so) in the /system/ so I wanted to see if that was faster. Well...forcing the app to use the system lib file made my phone on Nougat stop audio after I took a photo and eventually crashed and rebooted lol.

This line is a hint that it's loading from the system partition:

CAM_HexagonEnv: Will attempt to load libadsprpc.so from the system partition

I wonder if users on Oreo captured logs and if that appears in it. (I apologize if you have and I didn't look at it, I've been very busy the past 2 months with the house stuff, plus combing through the logs is hard for me to find the fault for things like this)

PS: Thanks for the feedback and photos.

With the latest update and Hexagon DSP processing turned on.... I captured 15 pics continuesly and it did not lag and hang as it used to.... And slightly faster HDR+ processing....

Kudos to the new update?
[Google Camera Mods] Doct93:
[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] I noticed that the HDR processing speed varies from 4/5 seconds up to 8/9, in your opinion what can you depend on? are there any other users experiencing this problem? do you solve the problem?

Thanks in advance
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
So you change it to "Yes"? Just want to be sure. "Yes" should be the same as V3.6. But it requires more digging into to understand completely.

Are you on Oreo? Is this with default settings, like Lowest HDR+ Parameters and Adaptive Shutter off? Typically it's 3-5 seconds for me on Nougat, but the complexity of the scene and the parameters you choose in Settings can make it longer.
[Google Camera Mods] octavian.plesea:
A lot of freezes and restarts.

I have done all that you've said disabled camera.raisr and also enable camera.use_photos but my phone still restarts at random moments, more than 3 times a day. I also noticed a problem but I am not sure if the apps produce it. Sometimes when I'm in a call, the other person can't hear me for short periods of time.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Uninstall what you have and try this version: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76353188&postcount=589

Yes.... But in 3.6 after few pics it starts to lag and sometimes hangs... I had to reboot in order to work...

Now it's fine....Am in Nougat...
[Google Camera Mods] DigDub:
After updating my v30 to oreo, both camera apps will cause the phone sound to be gone after taking a photo. It even hangs the phone sometimes and rebooted on it's own. I have found it to be due to silencing of the sound for the camera app. If the sound is left on, the phone will be ok.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Hey guys, I sold my V30 this morning. I'm getting the HTC U12 or the LG G7 so I'll be back at this whenever one of those arrive early next month. :good:
[Google Camera Mods] majki84:
It looks like it's the same for me. I left the sound of camera on, raisr off, use_photos on, hexagon off and it looks all fine. Saving Photo is still taking too much time as for my needs and don't know why (Stock app is very fast). After taking pic when you click thumbnail i get info like "Saving enhanced hdr" and i take even 5 sec or So. I didn't try with nonenhanced hdr So Maybe that would be quicker for Saving photos and take pics faster. Lg v30 user.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] queste sono le mie impostazioni, la cosa strana è che, a paritá di impostazioni impiega tempi diversi e non capisco in base a cosa.

Sono su LG G6 con Android 7.0.

Grazie per la pazienza ed il duro lavoro
[Google Camera Mods] KUSOsan:
Thanks for the awesome work. It was pain trying to follow the gcam and the other one (can't remember name) versions as there was too many configs but your 3.6 version has just plain worked on my V20 and the HDR is night and day difference between the stock LG camera one to the point where I have disabled HDR completely on the stock cam and just use it as video recorder and a fast picture app as it loads up a bit quicker than the Google camera. That and as much as I think the portrait bokeh effect craze is a stupid fad, I'll admit it has it's place in certain scenarios (I still think it's over played though). Google has an amazing thing going on here with their HDR algorithm because my brothers Nexus 6p (using HDR) still takes better pics than a lot of newer phone's including my V20. :good: kudos
[Google Camera Mods] Ricocche:
:eek: Good for you! Thank you for the amazing job so far. May I ask you why you decided on switching phones though? Please grab the LG branded so that you stick with us! Haha.

But seriously, I've got a 2yo back at home. It's amazing what I'm able to accomplish with my G6, this mod and her now. Priceless.

By the way I noticed the same. Also I noticed different performances in low light with same settings. Are you using 3.7?
[Google Camera Mods] Sergykm:
[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] I don't know why but sometimes version 3.7 freeze or hard freeze on my lg v30 on Oreo. 3.6 is more stable for me. Anyone have this problem on Oreo? The first few days it work like a charm, but now it often freeze. I try to clear data and cache but without success.

Why you sold your v30? It's amazing smartphone, buy the way g7 has the same camera as v30 and only 3000mAh battery.

Anyway thanks for your hard work...hope you'll support this camera in the future.
[Google Camera Mods] Zoombaya:
I can't install the latest gcam. I have an H930 with Oreo and when I click on the download link it throws a Cannot parse the package error.

When I click on Special access and then on Install uknown apps in settings menu I get no options on allowing app install. There's a list of some apps and that's it.

How do I enable installing unknown apps?

It's driving me nuts. Nougat settings menu was better in that department but now I'm stuck.

I have no idea how to install the gcam. I'm an über noob with Android. My previous phone was a Nokia Lumia 930 (and now H930 lol) so go easy on me please :) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you guys think the P20 Pro would be worth the upgrade from a V3o running cstarks Gcam?
[Google Camera Mods] S4turno:
As far as I know, Google Camera doesn't on the P20. Probably because of the SoC (Kirin Vs Snapdragon).
[Google Camera Mods] Zoombaya:
Go to Google Drive, you'll see standard and wide angle gcam apk's. Long press on each and choose Download. Once they're downloaded start either of them and the window will open asking to grant permission to File Manager. That's how I did it and it worked.

Also, go to phone settings/General/Apps&notifications/Special access/Install uknown apps, and press on Google Drive and enable Allow from this source.
[Google Camera Mods] usmcnyc:
I meant do you think the P20 Pro (using it's own camera app/software) will be a step up over the V30 running cstarks apk?
[Google Camera Mods] dragion:
I was able to download both apps, but neither one is working correctly.

The main function is working, but the Lens Blur feature isn't...it only takes one photo and no processing occurs.
[Google Camera Mods] majki84:
It is working, but weirdly photos are stored in other folder. When you are in the gallery switch view for albums and you will have folder named like a photo and when you click it you will have two photos, one normal and one blurred.

Edit : no sorry, it's for portrait mode. Lens blur shows up in the main gallery on mine v30 but it's rubbish so I don't use it.

[Google Camera Mods] Zoombaya:
God knows what T-mobile did with the Oreo update, because Lens Blur works on mine. Though I can't really say I like what I get with it, no matter the angle and distance from the subject and regardless of how I tweak the focus point, so I don't use it at all. Totally pointless imho. Unless you like sloppy blurring job done by gcam software.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Yes I feel Lens Blur is worthless. But a lot requested it. You do not get HDR+ Processing with Lens Blur (as you may have noticed). This is normal, even for Pixel 1 devices (Pixel 2 doesn't have Lens Blur option, it is replaced by Portrait Mode).

On the question of the P20...it depends. The Night Mode they made looks pretty crazy, but their inclusion of Beauty Mode that can't be completely disabled ruins the phone for me. I do NOT like Beauty Mode's. I know a lot of people do, but I'd rather have all the details and correct skin tone. I saw on Reddit some actual user complaints about the P20 Pro image post processing like over sharpening and low detail. When looking at camera reviews I've come to not even read the review and just look at the full resolution sample if available. A lot of reviewers have their own preference for camera quality.

I haven't really used my V30 for the past few months. Even with the GCam mod, the reliability of the camera, speed of the camera UI and capturing, and the colors of it don't compare to the Pixel 2 I have. Which is to be expected after all. If I didn't have a kid (or a Pixel 2 to compare against), it would probably be fine. But I'm also getting rid of the Pixel 2 because the small screen sucks to watch shows on, even though it's super easier to use one handed. I also want a more stable phone. Google still hasn't fixed blurry panoramas that effect only the smaller Pixel 2, 6 months after it's release.

I'm leaning towards the U12 because I want LCD again after dealing with black crush on OLED panels, and it seems like their stock-ish UI has a lot of good customization, especially related to the squeeze function. I also know based on the U11 I had briefly last year that the native camera post processing is much better than LG's native post processing. But if it doesn't have LTE Band 71 for T-Mobile I may go with the G7, hoping the G7 has better one handed operation.

But anyway. That's all kind of off topic. In the end, the updates to Google Camera are relatively small. You guys have a decently functioning option for now. Don't feel like if someone isn't strictly developing for your device anymore that you are left in the dark. If what you have works, and is stable, you are good to go. Even on my Pixel 1, the updates to Google Camera over the course of a year didn't offer drastic image improvements.

what should i choose , lg v30 or huawei mate 10 pro ??

lg g7 price is so damn high... i cant afford it...

sorry for the question... it will be helpful for me if u guys answer the qstn....

TIA
[Google Camera Mods] Koong1:
Have you considered buying the Huawei p20 pro?
[Google Camera Mods] pritomhalder:
i dont have that budget.. :(

i really need a phone now... :(
[Google Camera Mods] Koong1:
hmmm I see.

2 months ago I got a Huawei mate10 pro for my dad. He has been very pleased with it. Very speedy stock UI. Comes with Oreo out of box. Superb camera,even in night shots. Battery easily lasts one and a half day on moderate use. And Kirin 970 SoC, in my opinion is much better than V30 Snapdragon 835.

The only thing I like about LG is their wide angle cam, which takes really really good landscape shots, using cstark's gcam mod of course.

There is the rough breakdown for you.

Personally I would recommend going for Huawei mate10 pro.
[Google Camera Mods] Zoombaya:
I was this close of actually getting a Huawei P10, a vastly cheaper phone than the V30 but with awesome processor, a really snappy performer. There are 3 Huaweis in my family (P10 Lite, Mate 9, Nova). All really great phones if not the best for the money. You really can't go wrong with Huawei. But then I plugged my high impedance headphones that i got for Christmas into my friend's LG G6 and that was that lol. I said sayonara to a lot more money than I originally planned and bought the V30 lol. And I don't regret it not one bit. Also, I never thought I'd use a phone for taking pictures so much and so often. ESPECIALLY with the gcam mod like this one. I have a Nikon D7200 with some nice collection of lenses (with two wide angle ones among others) so I never really bothered with phone photography. Until now. Of course, Nikon's pictures are on another level but having this wide angle lens on a phone is something else. If I look in my phone picture gallery, more than half of pics are taken with the wide angle camera.

If you don't really care that much about wide angle shots or taking pictures in general or high quality audio streaming, then go for the Huawei.

It all depends how you use your phones daily and how much tweaking you do , what's your modus operandi.
[Google Camera Mods] pritomhalder:
yes i love that wide angle cam..

but does the mod support portrait ??

Agree with this. No option to save files into SD CARD, would be nice to have it.

Or if adding this option is too much work : If SD card available, store files into SD card. If no SD card, store into internal storage.

Internal memory is limited and photos/videos require large storage.

happened only with this photo, many others are ok

[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Dots may be because of your phone. Some OnePlus devices have a similar issue that can't be fixed via normal tweaking of GCam...it takes quite some expertise from what I gather.
[Google Camera Mods] harysviewty:
It's not exactly underexposed. It's just that shadows are overly aggressive. The side effect of smaller pixel size. Gcam on Google pixel phones use bigger fewer pixel, capturing multiple underexposed frames better
[Google Camera Mods] Sergykm:
old gcam based 3.2 vs new gcam based 5.1 (3.7 cstark)

For me 3.2 is much better. Look at the shadows, they are not totally black on gcam based on 5.1. On 3.2 you can see more tones, less contrast, less noise. The picture is "softer". I also try to change model in cstark gcam, but 3.2 is always better for me. Gcam based on 5.1 total kill the shadows.
