I agree if [MENTION=8980633]back.rider555[/MENTION] could add most or some of the options present in Arnova's or Toylan's builds (especially Saturation and Noise settings), but regardless of what he changes or adds, always always keep it based on the Dec 9 "pure" release from Arnova as opposed to Arnova's and Toylan's builds which are based on BSG's which break ZSL regardless of the settings selected (some settings will take away the lag from ZSL but that's only because they disable HDR+ processing altogether).

And [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]'s builds (at least the ones from GCam 5.x) which include the LG G6 color fix would be a fantastic feature to add. I know the G6 and the Essential have identical camera sensor models, and I'm assuming the Nokia 7 plus does as well since you mentioned it.

Lastly, I haven't noticed any change in picture quality between [MENTION=8980633]back.rider555[/MENTION]'s builds and Toylan's builds (at least with Toylan's builds default settings)

A small tip for everybody. In photos with extreme light/shadow conditions, use the autofix from the Lightroom app. Works much better than Google photos autofix.

There is one thing that annoys me in all Gcam versions, the flare around the sun and a yellow dot that appears n the same condition.

I suppose this cant be fixed somehow... First pic i used lightroom fix

[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
very nice photo tomar777.

what version of gcam do you use? i find that the latest toliyan 1.3d is really good.

I think that the development of the gcam for Nokia 7plus should be inspired by this version

but if not, which version do you use and have parameters to share?

thank you.

[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
i use back.riders test1.3 for its speed and stability. I did not have time to test toliyan's version. I was on the road for some days, made a lot of pics, worked like a charm and just a little edit was needed.

On video i wish i had ozo sound on Gcam , because on night videos of a live concert with the stock app, sound was great but picture was bad.

i noticed also that on nightshots with many lights in the scene, the noise goes up, so this custom noise libs thing is interesting.

But i think that our device needs a dedicated custom lib, previous tests showed that in one version you have good noise reduction but exposure is too high, in another version is the opposite, so every tweak affects the other settings...

[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bacchinif:
Hi. I've done numerous libs test. My conclusion is that the best one is Stock By Google.

Savitar is the sharpest, but also noisier. Ezsvidman (I can't spell that name) is the best for noise reduction, but pictures are smoother and loose details.

Google stays in between.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
I'm really not sure if it's possible for GCam to tap into the Ozo function for audio recording without rooting. I'm looking forward for a workaround for this one (anyone who has any idea on this, please let us know). For now, I still use stock Camera for video just because the sound recorded with GCam video audio is terrible (compared to the one recorded with Ozo).

Thanks for the info. But here's the thing: my very aim is to make this a reliable point-and-shoot camera app for Nokia 7 plus. As a former Pixel 2 user, I really admired how simple the GCam app is. The good thing is that we are presented with a ton of choices depending on our needs: manual controls in the stock camera and 3rd party apps in the Play store; and of course the bucketful of GCam ports that have so many settings you can tweak to your own desire thanks to the awesome developers out there. Granular controls for GCam are neat but I'm on a different approach towards simplicity, you know what I mean.

I also noticed the yellow dots and/or flares appear in any camera app. Something hardware related, maybe?

I suggest clearing the data or uninstall-reinstall the app. That'll work.

It'll be nice if anyone using Toylann's, Arnova's or BSG's (or any developer's) ports share their settings that they think produces the "best" result. We'll appreciate that ?

Hello everyone. I am currently using Arnova's MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_Final.apk. But the problem with this is, there is a huge shutter lag (processing circle) after taking one pic, which disables the shutter button. This is a real hindrance if I want to take multiple photos. Can someone please suggest me a version from any developer, which, if not better, at least produces similar images as Arnova's but without the shutter lag. Thank you so much in advance!

Hello!

I did a comparison between two Google Camera ports I liked, MGC_5.3.015_4 and GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test1.3. I know that the first one is an older version of Google Camera, but eh, I just did this for the heck of it.

Which photo is the better one? (I didn't change the settings of any app, just installed, gave permissions and enabled HDR+ Enhanced.)

Left: MGC_5.3.015_4

Right: GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test1.3

[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2

Changes vs. test1.3 :

- Added a new settings page "(More advanced settings)" under Advanced -> More settings.

---> Added "HDR+ Enhanced frames" selections* (I simplified it to four (4) options: Low (=7); Default (=15); High (=28), and; Very High (=35). Higher frame number for better quality, but longer capture time)

---> Added "Use custom lib", a toggle to use Eszdman v3 custom lib (I chose this one by popular opinion vs other libs)

- Changed theme color to a subtle darker blue to match the good ol' Lumia Denim xD

*Google default is 7 frames, but I bumped it up and set the default of this port to 15.

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. I still can't figure out why it doesn't work in our device.

- There might be instabilities with heavy usage.

thanks for making gcam even better!

Just tested the Esdman lib indooor with medium light, much more noise than stock.

Compare photos in fullscreen, zoom on the kitchen furniture

First is custom lib, second is stock

PS i think that default HDR frames is 7 looking at the capture time, am i wrong?

That's odd. I just compared audio captured with GCam and stock camera, and they have the same volume; their major difference is the quality. Have you tried recording video with the stock camera and checked if the volume is normal, somehow?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
so I tested:

new arnova: very good but problem with the flash function, in flash mode the hdr does not work!

new tolyan: same problem as the arnova

new Nokia 7plus backrider:

the most stable but after a lot of testing the best Lib is the ezdman2 and she is absent.

if backrider adds the lib ezdman 2,the flash for night mode and the choice of framerate for the video, it would be perfect!

why ezdman 2? it is the one that offers the best compromise between the Google (too dark and too much noise treatment) and the ezdman 3 (too much noise and not enough treatment).
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
I did notice that while Eszdman lib (even Savitar) reduced the black crush and revealed more detail, in low light they start to go quite noisy; I'm guessing it's trying to pull as much detail in dark areas, which works well in good light but produces noise in low light? Still not sure how it works.

Default HDR+ ON is around 12-14 frames as what I have observed in the log. The setting for increased frames is for HDR+ Enhanced and Night Sight.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
Please share your configuration and among all the newly realeased version which one is best for our daily use
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
I think that HDR was not supposed to work with flash enabled. On first Gcams i tried and on previous phones it was either: normal with flash OR HDR.

And about the libs, in my oppinion keeping noise down is most important on lowlight and nightshots.

Could you post pics to compare? (stock vs ezdman 2)

[MENTION=9159643]Born2rein@gmail.com[/MENTION]

Its all pretty much the same as before.

Just leave HDR at 15 frames, its balanced frames/speed and leave custom lib off.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
here are four pictures.

two with ezdman 2 and two with stock.

on the car the ezdman2 is better because less dark, the details of the wheel are better and the driver's seat is visible through the window.

in the bathroom stock is better because less clear so more detail on the tiles and on the chrome

on the contrary ezdman is too clear so erases a lot of detail ...

it's a big puzzle!

I will continue to test and I will decide which one to use later.

I know you are trying to keep it simple, but would you consider adding Saturation and Noise reduction settings? They can simply be ignored by people who choose not to change Saturation or enable noise reduction settings.

Btw, is the default really 15 from Google? I thought it was 7. Or are you just making it the default on your mod?

Ohh--- just verified that HDR+ enhanced in stock Google really is 7 frames. But making 15 frames the default won't hurt, I guess? Lol. Already changed the port description to avoid confusion. Thanks for the notif! I'll see what I can do with the saturation thing.

Love your port. Thank you for helping out the N7P community. I think the default settings are perfect and adding too many other settings is not needed as such.

Could you please just look into adding Lens Blur if possible. It's the only thing missing to make your port complete. Just because I miss Lens Blur am having to use an extra GCam port.

Thank you

The nigthsigth frame count and the HDR+ frame count is the same? I thought nightsigth use more frames!
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Both HDR+ Enhanced and Night Sight do not use ZSL, so the frame count for both modes are essentially the same. The difference is that Night Sight uses AI to detect the scene and can bump the exposure to as much as 1/3 s per frame in our device ("motion metering"), that's why in really dark situations Night Sight takes a longer time to finish capturing a photo. When the setting is set to =7, HDR+ Enhanced obey that frame count while Night Sight seems to adjust(?) (my log observations says 13) with varying frame exposure times depending on the scene (more info here). However, when set to =15 frames or more, both modes are now fixed to the same frame count, but Night Sight continues to adjust exposure times.

GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1

Changes vs. test2 :

-

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

:

--->

Added "Saturation adjustments"

(thanks to [MENTION]Toylann009[/MENTION]'s and BSG's ports): I included a toggle to apply custom saturation adjustments; if disabled, the default Google settings are used.

--->

Changed "Use custom lib" to Eszdman v2

: in my tests, it does a good job with high contrast scenarios in good light, but tends to produce more noise in low light.

--->

Added "Maximum brightness"

(also thanks to [MENTION]Toylann009[/MENTION]'s port): sets max brightness in viewfinder mode. May consume battery, especially since our device doesn't have OLED display for the black areas of the screen.

--->

Edited "HDR+ Enhanced frames"

: Default is now set to =7 (which is Google default).

-

Default JPEG quality is set to 97%

: I find this the sweet spot for both quality and image file size.

-

Minor UI edits

: a few re-wordings here and there. I've also added a note for the Disable zoom in Portrait mode for added information (read this for more info)

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.

- There might be instabilities with heavy usage.

P.S. Just to give you guys a heads-up, I may or may not return to this project since I have to begin prioritizing time for work and studies. Looks like these optimizations and additions are enough for the regular user; in most cases, this port needs no extra config. Cheers!

I made some quick tests for the Night Sight flash last night--- my problem was, as based on BSG's codes, NS flash only works when the Android 8.1 NS fix is switched on. Simply pluggin in the 8.1 fix and NS flash to this port breaks NS; in another scenario, NS works but switching on the boolean for NS flash breaks NS altogether. I didn't do further tests from that point because I need to sleep, forgot it was already 2am lol

As for saturation parameters, here's where the forum community can help in getting the "best" possible adjustments for that. I'm personally okay with stock and leave the saturation toggle disabled xD but to anyone willing to share their parameter combinations, it'll be very much appreciated.
