Unfortunately this method is time consuming, you can simply go for s9 camera app that offers realtime filters 3-4 are very useful, or "open camera" or "footej camera" or "HD camera iJoysoft" ( this last has the most complete options and offers pro mode for front camera) in which you can tune iso and exposure in realtime, anyway, as a general rule, only filters seems to work flawlessly, every other control is immediately reverted to the horrible auto exposure/iso/contrast and maybe ai-beauty modes by original Huawei internal control.

At this point I'm afraid that this situation is due also to the sensor ..... it's a shame for Huawei have a 24 mpx front camera that perform worse than any old 2mpx front camera of the past....... we need a solution from Huawei, I understand that this front camera is mainly for Chinese people and Asian that are half the world , but the rest of the world need a different front camera , so Huawei must modify a more neutral camera tweakable from people to match their own face characteristics, and a pro mode working.

Also I've to say that also portrait mode of the main camera is partially affected by this problem, but you can survive with other modes...... shame agai Huawei. Be faster with an answer.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gigioz79:
there is some working version (always no hdr +) but unfortunately can not properly use the compass / gyroscope and then there are problems to Stitch the photos.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Magnus3D:
I see, ok.. i went through a page with a lot of different versionf of the Google Camera ported and i tested a whole lot of them to see which one's worked. Of all i tested, some 25-30 different apps i found two which works with acceptable results.

OP6v0.1_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk

MGC_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__A7.0-8.1_MI5S_v2b_SG7Exy_v2.apk

These two get's the job done, obviously without any HDR+ but you get some pretty crisp and clear looking jpeg's from both of these with great amount of details rendered and noise is well controlled even at high ISO's. The first one even shoots 40mpix jpeg's which is nice!

/ Magnus
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gigioz79:
Useless

Ok, tried and working.

But at least just standard camera is working, and in this case Huawei camera is better.

Without hrd+ and photosphere, gcam is useless....
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:
Some stable Google Camera ports for P20 Pro (CLT-L09)

Hey, guys,

Just a quick heads up. The Google Camera on your P20 Pro is not useless at all. As I have posted in a different thread earlier, the stock camera has major focusing issues in close-up shots due to the multiple-lens setup. In short, you have to be very lucky to get a well-focused macro shot with it. MGC (Modded Google Camera), on the other hand, relies solely on your main 40MP lens to take beautiful sharp pictures and videos every time. Even without Pixel's HDR+ and portrait mode, MGC beats stock hands down when it comes to overall image sharpness, colour reproduction and focusing speed (due to Pixel's ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag) technology), not to mention the built-in AR-based panorama and photo sphere modes. But the proof, as they say, is in the pudding (See the attached images).

Big thanks go to Magnus3D for pointing out a semi-stable OP6v0.1_5.1.018 MGC for P20 and P20 Pro earlier in this thread. There are also more stable (subject to further testing) ports available with manual focus support for those all-important close up shots in all 40MP glory. They are UriKill_MGC_5.1.018_FinalMOD_All_Inc.apk and MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.1_manual_focus.apk. There is also a stable port without the manual focus option MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.5_beta.apk. I cannot be held responsible for their contents (as I am merely sharing my own experience). All credit for making these links available for download goes to celsoazevedo of celsoazevedo.com.

Enjoy!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Teo032:
Which of the 4 would you use as your daily if manual focus is not a concern.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:
In my experience, MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.1_manual_focus.apk is the most stable one of them.

P.S.: The manual focus works by selecting a value from the scroll-down list and tapping the screen to confirm.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Teo032:
Thanks for the quick reply. Going to test it out.

How to enable HDR+??? :/
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] kabirjedi:
Just read ...HDR+ function not workig...Only on Snapdragon SOC's
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] redeleon:
I downloaded this, is it just me or the zoom function is using the Tele Lens?

I noticed that the IS of the tele lens was turned on as well as the image output.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:
No, there is no HDR+ or portrait mode support yet, but in my experience GCam is still an improvement over the stock camera, especially when it comes to focusing on small details. Images taken with GCam also do not suffer from oversharpening and there is no AI to oversaturate half of your outdor pictures.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

I've never used zoom with GCam. I'll probably try that today at some point.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyfinder:
THANKS DUDE!

Some conflict with the STOCK camera? I remember, loong time ago (S3 time), that the main problem was the continues conflict with the stock camera and continuos reboot for fix the problem (camera not seen).

IM INTERESTED to the google camera just for the photo sphere!

Pretty a shame that a so skilled phone, so expensive, so good camera...don't have a proprietary app for PHOTOSPHERE... but has a gyroscope :°D
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:
Well, I tried zooming in with GCam today. Can's say I like the result. Seems pretty lossy to me.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gigioz79:
Unfortunately gyroscope is not working properly, and photosphere is a mess.... :(

It's sad, because photosphere is the key-feature for me.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Magnus3D:
By the way, speaking of other camera apps. If it's not okay to post here please delete my comment but i tested the camera apk from the newly released Asus Rog gaming phone and it did work on the P20 Pro. Not all functions work as they should but you can snap pics with it and the jpegs look really nice and crisp.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Flashed the final version.

Zooming in at full zoom then stabilising and taking a pic Vs the stock cam.

There is a lot of noise.

Stock p20 pro app does a better job..

Still testing it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] redeleon:
Yeah, sad... But i think it switches to the 3x lens since i can see some exposure shifts and the stabilizer kicking in.

Hehe oh well
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Chippelchen:
I may be stupid but where is the download link?

And is the Camera APP still better without HDR+? Do I need to root my phone?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:
An interesting discovery today. It turns out that a version of GCam for P20 and P20 Pro with HDR+ support has been hiding in plain sight among older builds. I am testing this now. Pls, post your own findings here.

Update: Yepp. It's official. For better or worse, but we finally have HDR+ on P20 Pro with this build of GCam.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] isko01:
I hope it works. Im waiting your results :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] isko01:
Thx you for milion times. So just install the camera and in trn on HDR+ in camera? That's all?

P. S. In my country is night time so i can see the difference :)

Is this the same results with front face camera?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:
Still testing it myself, but the evidence is clear - HDR+ works (rear camera only). Goodbye overexposed skyline and oversharpened edges. Hello slightly darker images with much better contrast in almost everything =)

And, yes, this build is as simple as they come. No advanced settings, and (unfortunately) no manual focus. Just good old point-and-shoot HDR+ goodness :p No root needed.

P.S.: For those who just joined the conversation here is the download link for this build.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mullemulle86:
I don't see any difference with or without hdr+ activated.

For me it looks like it isn't working. The result with the Huawei app and hdr activated is much better.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:
Did you test it during the day? Because, to be honest, in dim light I don't see much difference, either. But I'm clearly seeing a difference during the day where the stock camera overexposes the sky half the time. I'll take more comparison pictures later to demonstrate this.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mullemulle86:
Yes in in dim light. Tomorrow i will also take some pictures outside.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Lolpoppa:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Doesn't work for me. I also honestly doubt there will be a working HDR+ release for Huawei and Honor as they have a proprietary way of doing their camera thing and did not properly implement the camera2 API.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] saisallo:
Yes, not working.

Anyway I think that few people know that if you shot with native camera app, you do have a very strong HDR effect. In photo mode, HDR IS ALWAYS ON, even if AI is off, you will have nice HDR photos automatically controlled, I think this is from 156 firmware. If you want no Auto HDR, you must always shot in PRO mode.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] saisallo:
Here are two shots, just done now, with native app: one is in photo mode (hidden HDR on), the other in PRO mode and you see no HDR at all.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] saisallo:
Second one no hdr ( is the same as the post above, now the post shows ok, so no need of this post, but I can't remove)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] saisallo:
Here the shots with modded camera app that should work with HDR+, no differences. (one hdr+ on, the other hdr+ off)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koi8ru:
Thanks for everyone's responses. I will continue testing the 2.7 against the stock camera. I still cannot explain why the same picture taken on a tripod appears to be overexposed with stock camera compared with GCam.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Maybe you set the focus manually to a dark object and it adjusted the exposure accordingly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] titi66200:
HDR+ not working for me
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Lolpoppa:
Yep, me neither. Lens Blur mode crashed the app for me too.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] saisallo:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gigioz79:
Yes, but Photosphere and circular panonama are not working... Sad.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] saisallo:
For me it's working, not perfect I think because a stand is quite necessary to have a seamless shot

Any news? I went from using an LG G6 with Gcam to P20 Pro and would say that I pretty much overall preferred the camera on my old LG which is really disappointing. One of the main reasons I hope for a gcam version compatible with p20 pro is the zsl. my pictures are so much blurrier whenever I shoot a moving object compared to the gcam that I'm almost starting to wonder if my p20 pro is faulty? anyone else with similar experience?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Najner:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] totzkitotz:
Yeah, hopefully it will also work on ou p20 pro soon, hopefully
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] leoni1980:
I have used this port and it's practically unusable - the colour balance is all over the place as the white balance isn't working. You can tweak it to make it kind of ok in a giving lighting scenario but as soon as you move into a different light it looks really bad again. I don't think it will ever be fixed TBH.

Not to mention, the P20 Pro has a 40mp camera, which likely presents even more challenges than the Mate 10, and is probably the main reason why the app doesn't work at all.

I have been digging around and found this port here. Although it doesn't work, interestingly panorama and Google Lens work, and if you go to "More" The live viewfinder will work.
