the thing is that the most advanced settings are made for the cam to work on OnePlus devices and will probably have zero or negative effect on the nokia 7+.

They need to be tested one by one, that gives a lot of combinations. I tested the previous arnova/TinNeun/BSG version a bit editing only the settings i knew what they are for, and got similar results as in back riders version 2.1 (stock google lib used)

Questions

1) in base model, Leave the config setting to auto, or is there a better one for N7+ ?

2) exposure compensation for normal and night mode , did you get a better result with custom values?

3)What does the min iso setting do in combination with custom noise levels?

4)what are old WB levels and buffer do in fix?

this latest version arnova is really top!

idle works, the pictures are very good.

really a very good version.

For me work.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
We will need back.rider again to fix this version
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
i tested this version a bit with your settings.

In the settings you posted (XML) , menu: "Exposure compensation" i also set "Force Auto Exposure" and "Enable auto exposure" to on.

It helps a bit with the damn flare effect on street lights.

Now i must experiment a bit with Auto exposure sensitivity (its set on 100 by default) to see how it helps against the sun.

This latest Arnova version seems to work ok on the N7+

Anybody got this issue where camera doesn't zooms in beyond the second point on zoom bar in viewfinder.

But the photo is zoomed in..

Using Latest version of gcam posted here. But found this in earlier versions too.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Yes. Its probably because this apk was developed for Oneplus devices

Nokia 7 Plus, TA-1055, Android Pie (January sec. patch)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
Latest test version from Arnova8G2:

- MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_04.02.19.02.38.apk (2019-02-04)

You can use this as base and then change things to your own liking, but keep in mind that some settings shouldn't be touched (120FPS slow motion, disabling "'motion' function" also disables tracking autofocus on Pie, the "Base" settings, etc). This version has more options than Tolyan's version.

Enjoy and share your finding
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
Attached are my settings
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Total chaos here. i just changed one setting and nightmode broke forever, another setting killed the app when hdr was on, something else killed the app as soon as i opened google photos while processing.... slomo doesnt work, this is gonna be heavy to stabilise... but i must say i got some better HDR pics than before...

Some remarks/questions:

The exposure comp +0.2 was a good thing.

Why use the alternate Android 8 config when we have android 9 ? because of the flash?

Config model , pixel XL is used, but we have same sensor as Pixel 2, would it not be better to use that one? Does it break something?

Forced auto exposure and Auto exposure Camera2api seem to crash the app after a while.

In portret mode it seems that it uses HDR if this was selected in normal mode, although i set it to off

What resampling method do you prefer?

Latest ezman lib looks good.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
In general what version of pie on Nokia 7 Plus do you have is it January security patch or February, I have been using this app for a while now and I must say it produce great quality I an in media camera Man in a place of fellowship and the pastor confessed that pictures are awesome demanding the kind of phone am using.. I don't experience any crash my slow motion works etc. To get best result as I do first of install the attached shown if u can find and then run the one of 4-02-2019 on it.. There you go.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Juffex:
May be stupid question, but does gcam ports use N7P dual cameras or only "primary" camera? I'm currently using back.riders GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rubens95:

BSG just released couple of days ago new version called: BSG V2e

Allegedly (according to celsoazvedo) this is the first almost fully stable version.

Has anyone tested it?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Just installed it. BSG V2e

Slo mo not working

Motion not working

HDR off-auto-on work

HDR has flash, night Sight not.

Potrait mode AND bokeh mode present at the menu, and working

Zoom works

Night Sight works

Noise reduction seems fine

App and viewfinder are running smooth, its very fast.

Quality to be tested. We have min-max values for HDR here.

More settings in the BSG menu that need testing for best quality

-------------------

Q: what does this sabre do? Something with the night sight and It has an option to disable it

Edit: Leave this off

--------------------

Night Sight

Funny thing , in the night, HDR+ and Night Sight give the same results. I expected more exposure from NS.

Outdoors pics are not so bright, vivid and focused as arnovas/backrider version, colors are less saturated, more natural.

Almost feels like night sight doesnt work, its just like HDR+ (i use 14 frames)

Indoors, pics are just great, in medium light, they come sharp, have good detail and color., zero noise.

Only thing, the orange colors (wood for example) come out more bright than real. Used the pixel 3 AWB.

More testing tomorrow
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Daytime pics.

Just fine , and no flare when shooting against the sun.

Here are my settings (Only BSG menu, the rest is simple)

Input model:

Interface: pixel II

Front/rear cam: Pixel 3 XL (*)

Config: Auto (*)

HDR parameters

Min iso: off

High ISO in dark: on

Min HDR: 7

Max HDR: 14 (Set for fast pics, put more if you have difficult scenes with sunlight in both settings)

Night S. parameters: off

Final jpg: 97% or auto

Enable G.photos: as u wish

Remove AF data: on

Disable zoom in portrait: as you wish

Enhanced HDR+ in port: as you wish

Saturation: 1,6 / 1 both cams (stock)

FIX

Pixel3AWB : on

Rest of settings: Off / default.

(*)The only things to experiment are front/rear cam model (pixel 3 gives a little less saturation but more natural color) and the Config (Auto is ok but there is also a BSG pixel plus setting, i did not test em all)

Who ever tests this please let us know if you have a more preferred config.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] darkb7:
Thanks for testing [MENTION=7851657]Tomar777[/MENTION] !

Do you think it's worth switching from backrider's version to this BSG V2e?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Yes, except the night sight. i tried pumping the iso setting on night sight menu up, no difference. You should try your self and see if its ok in your eye.

As said colors are not so vivid like in backriders version but are more natural. Some experimenting with saturation of the rear cam can help.

Saturation does not go down so much when sunlight gets in the scene.

The flare effect ruined many of my fotos with daylight so its good that its gone.

Noise reduction is excellent.

Choosing Pixel3 model on front cam gives very nice portrait pics even without HDR+ enabled.

Oh and a little bug i found, after 2-3 nightshots, returning to normal camera mode lags the app, i solve this with changing to front cam and rear again.

Give it a try, i think its worth it
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
This one everything works photo quality is amazing.

[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Sorry guys, im done with the experiments... i tested the BSG app for 2 hours (app usage time) just because it was told as recommended one.

Till i see some samples or a full report like i did, i will stick to back.rider and lightroom... I have tested more than 20 versions now....

Back.riders is a very basic arnova mod, we can get more quality out the camera, but for this we need someone to fix the versions for N7+ and someone who knows which settings we need.

BSGs version is for xiaomi mi8 , no wonder its doesn't work 100% percent on nokia. ( nightsight does not work, it just takes HDR+)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] yano213:
Since December, i have found the best mod :

GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test1.3.apk

Everything work, NS, Slow mo, hdr+, ... Everything.

And shot are great, don't loose your time for now with another version.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
This is the version back.rider modded to work for our Nokia7+. There is an update N7P 2.1 from him and we all use that. its the one i describe on my previous post. Hope he comes back to fix a newer version...

Edit: Now there is a Tolyan recommended version too, if somebody wants to try it out. MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.4_TlnNeun.apk
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] paliic:
I can't install any version of back.rider on my Nokia 7+

What's the problem?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
If you had another version installed, first clear its cache and data from the app menu and then uninstall it. (Its called clean install and you should do it on any version you install.)

Then install back.riders 2.1 version from here .
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] dillerdaller:
I believe have the following version installed. https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3e_TlnNeun.apk

Seems to work fine - although I had to find the hard way that it defaults to 240fps in slowmotion, which crashes the app, when trying to start slo-mo. Have to change to 120 in adv.settings/fix.

But when I try the "Night Sight" mode, it seems to take the image and do som image processing (a circular progress bar shows and starts "working" up to some 25% ) - and then it crashes back to OS, never saving anything.

Any suggestions on what/where to adjust in settings to see the NightSight function work on my N7P ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
All these versions have been tested and commented here. Refer to previous pages of this topic for results and possible settings.

in your case, i say if it crashes, version is not good for your phone.... just take the one mentioned a few posts above by me (back.rider 2.1), there is a link

[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Linux-Freak:
I am using this -

https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1.apk

Works great. Night mode shortcut is one of the features of this build?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
That's the one
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] dillerdaller:
- Thanks. It works better but in no way error-free. This also occasionally just barfs when trying to save image just taken. Almost always night shots.

Could crashes be caused by the fact that I have had two versions of this mod installed simultaneously. (Both gcam from this https://www.celsoazevedo.com site, but from different developers?)

( I find it somewhat confusing in this "Nokia 7 plus ..." thread, that som many different apk's are mentioned - but *am* happy that some of them seem to work in most ways on "our device" n7p. :D )
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
As much as I want to work on this a bit more, there's just a lot of important stuff right now. First off, it's the last (and critical) semester of my Master's degree and, combined with work stuff, schedule is kinda hectic to fit in some time to learn more coding. Second, my laptop got messed up that I have to reformat my drive and I've not enough time to set up all tools and software from scratch. Tough luck.

Anyway, the last 2.1 port had been serving me well with a few hiccups here and there that I'm actually already used to. Lol. My tight schedule also meant I haven't tested the latest mods so can't tell about quality differences. So yeah, thanks to everyone and keep on testing for the best ports and settings for our device ;)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Either this is the reason, or you had a previous version uninstalled before cleaning application cache/data)

This version works very well.

[MENTION=8980633]back.rider555[/MENTION] Its ok man, good luck with your degree and im sorry about your laptop issue, thats a real pain in the a** to set up again...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

From what i have tested, following settings are wished:

-The pixel 3 AWB

-Latest lib from eszdman (i think its 5)

-Exposure compensation setting

i also noticed that we have a lens calibration issue on most versions. In landscape photos, vertical objects on the sides of the pic come out a bit curved....

I fix that with lightroom on pc.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT:

MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.4_TlnNeun.apk latest recommended version.

-SloMo & motion are not working.

-Rest works.

Warning: This setup is only good for day time, Nightsight is $h1t ,more tests needed

Settings:

HDR: 15 (speed/quality balance)

Remove ISO limit in the dark: Off

Adv.Settings:

Base:

Interface: Pixel 3

Config: Pixel2017 Zsl HDR+

Back Cam: Pixel 3 XL

Front Cam: Pixel 2 XL

Final JPG: 97% (midpoint quality/comp.)

Libs: Stock by Google. Latest custom by Eszdman gives funny colour alterations specially on faces, if you want to use it you must play with saturation, previous ones gave noise,specially on night sight

Motion: Off

Hide Slomo: On

They dont work and i dont care. There are tweaks that maybe bring em to work (frames, resolution but... pffff)

FIX:

Pixel 3 AWB: ON for me the most important new feature. more natural colors.

The rest: i left as it is.

The app lags a bit sometimes after 2-3 rapid HDR or night sight shots but its no big deal. if in a hurry, just switch to front and rear cam again to continue.

Pics are sharp, no noise, portraits come more natural thanx to AWB, no more sunflares, direct sun-shots are good. And its fast.

Further testing is needed but i think that's the one to recommend from now on. Please test it and report any flaws.

For those who edit the pics in pc , you will see a big difference, less work is needed to perfect the photos.

Edit: changed config to pixel 2 hdr zsl. Pixel 3 config leaves hdr enabled on portraits and bad results.

Also changed front cam to pixel 2xl , brings more natural selfies.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
I don't know how to convert normal to drive so as to upload it here but truth been told here this best two Gcam to own and have peace of mind as your driver? This first one has Aux to camera etc
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.2

Changes vs. test2.1 :

-

Under Advanced -> Port settings | (More advanced settings)

:

--->

Added "Pixel 3 AWB"

(thanks to [MENTION=7851657]Tomar777[/MENTION]'s suggestion and Toylann009's ports): this is turned on by default. I observed that when toggled ON, it produces more accurate and natural colors. Note that this only affects the rear camera. Check the comparison here.

--->

Changed "Use custom lib" to Eszdman v3

: I haven't done any tests here, but anyone might be interested. Stock lib is still my personal preference.

-

Added "Lens Blur" mode

: toggle is on the left of Panorama. A bonus addition since I really don't use it, but again someone might be interested.

-

Performance improvements

: I hope I'm right about this. So far it's working better in my device. #seemsfaster

NOTE: fresh re-install or "clear storage" after installation is recommended to clear up isolated cases like crashing Portrait Mode, etc.

Known issues:

- Tap-to-focus in video mode breaks autofocus; workaround is switching to other modes and back.

- Manual white balance in camera mode doesn't work (even in other ports, I believe). But it works in Photobooth; in Portrait Mode, it works after tapping the screen to focus. Suggested workarounds are (1) to use Portrait Mode for taking photos that need manual white balance adjustments, or (2) post-editing the photo.

- Tap-to-focus doesn't seem to work in Lens Blur mode.

- There might be instabilities with heavy usage.

Whew, I can't believe I still managed to make an update with my very tight schedule. Haha. The previous v2.1 was my main driver for the past weeks, and I suppose these minor updates are worth it. Okay, back to work and studying. Again, this port needs no extra config. Cheers!

Thanks for taking your time to get this new version up. Good luck in your studies.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Here's a quick comparison between Pixel 3 AWB ON vs OFF. This is a test with Night Sight because I find the AWB effect to be more obvious here. I took the shot in a park where the only light source are HPS street lights, giving the entire place an overall yellow-orange color. The screenshot of the viewfinder (leftmost photo) is what the park actually looks like to the naked eye. Night Sight captures are done with Pixel 3 AWB turned OFF (middle image) and ON (rightmost image). While the OFF setting produced a seemingly brighter image, the yellowish tint seems a bit too strong. The ON setting, on the other hand, might look a bit darker but it did the auto white balance correctly and produced the expected colors without the yellow filter; although, this is not what we actually see. Both settings produced good photos, though.

Basically this all goes down to personal preference: some may like a natural look, while others may prefer to capture what they actually see. The good thing is you can toggle the feature ON/OFF whenever you want. Plus, we always have the option to do post-processing, you know.

EDIT Updated the Pixel 3 AWB ON photo with the one captured with GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.3 (Night Sight fixed), since Night Sight was actually broken in test2.2. My bad.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Liftedcorn:
I'm using

MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v3.7.apk

this version.

I generally like photos to be vibrant and vivid.

The first pic is taken from stock camera. And as you can see, the Colors are vibrant and warm.

The 2nd pic, which is taken from Google camera, is bleached out ... I have noticed this same result in almost all GCam ports for Nokia 7 plus.

I believe other users would want their pics to be vibrant too. ?

So, unless the GCam captures vibrant pics like this, I don't think we have a perfect mod for our Nokia 7 plus.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bo03:
The second picture has more details, the colour can be post-processed. The first one to is to yellow and lacks sharpness. Thats my view. I'm more for detail than sweetness.

.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Colours get bleached as soon as direct sunlight or sun rays get in the scene. In this case, pump up the HDR to high.

Google photos autofix or (even better) lightroom autofix fixes saturation in most cases with one click.

Common bad thing in most -if not all- Gcam ports is that the WB manual selection is broken (second icon from the right top of the view finder) and sometimes autoWB which is always on, doest work that well.

Pixel 3 AWB is aggressive as we saw on back.riders example, but gives a clear pic.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
That's my problem from the start, that even the earlier v5.1 GCam ports doesn't have a working manual WB in our device. Have you ever tried a single port with a working one? I'm talking about the camera mode, because oddly it works in other modes (Portrait, Video, Photobooth)
