What phone are you using?

Do you have camera2 api enabled\supported ?

Did you install the correct version?

Have you tried clearing cache\data (or uninstalling ) the old gcam before installing a new one?

If you're on OnePlus 6 (pie) this version will work.

(https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_xcam_5_beta18.apk)

Browse for gcam versions on this site (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/)

(I have written this assuming that you are new to this.)

Well I do have microG (tiny apk) installed for logging in in YouTube vanced (try it!). It doesn't take much memory or ram, you hardly ever notice it.

I don't know about other gapps but I do think Google photos is necessary.

Playground mode

cant record video in playground mode, ini arnova and xcam op6 . please help me
[Google Camera Mods] castrum_doloris:
Hey, thanks for the fast answer!

1. Sorry I forgot to mention my Device and Rom. Yes it's a OnePlus 6 (Android 9) with a Custom Rom (which one doesn't really matter, I tried HavocOS, Liquid Remix and crDroid)

2. Supported yes, enabled most probably too. OpenCamera can use it, crDroid only has GCam preinstalled and the maintainer of Liquid Remix suggests the GCam. Allthough I can't find the camera2 API in build.prop

3. Yes, it should always be the right version. I mostly downloaded all apk's from this thread or from the website you posted below (I knew it already)

4. Yes, sure. You can't install two different GCam version at the same time anyways. It always threw an error message if I tried it. I also tried to clean cache/data of the GCam directly after installation and then start the GCam.

I've already tried this one, doesn't work either. And don't really want again to download so many apks with the hope it magically works somehow. Done this a few weeks ago, it's very annoying.

And thanks, but no, I'm not very new to this :) I follow this thread since it was opened in the OnePlus 6 subforum, before it was moved here. And I'm rooting/testing/modding/flashing Android Devices since quite a time now (5-6 Years). But I clearly don't know everything, as all of this is just a hobby of mine. In fact, I know nearly nothing compared to many users here :)

Then I will try MicroG. I don't need it (or GApps at all) for any other app I'm using, but it's worth a try. I know YT Vanced, but I can't (don't want) to use it from a mostly privacy perspective. I'm very happy with NewPipe (recommendation from my side). It has all I need. My goal is to run a Google-free Phone (at least as much as possible with Android)

[/QUOTE]

Yeah I read that. And I instantly tried, but it didn't work. Actually, Google Photos itself crashed ^_^. Most likely because I'm missing of GooglePlayServices (or GApps at all). Because of this I thought, the missing GApps/PlayServices could also be the reason why the GCam always crashes.

So, I'll try if MicroG works. If not, then I'll try it with official GApps. But for this I need time to backup all files first.

Thanks for trying to help me

I am using the beta 18 xtreme version. Is it applicable this this as well ? Also So after loading the xmls, I need to first switch off the parameters switch and then turn it on. Am I correct ?

Unable to get top shot working.

Hello,

I am having hard time getting top shot to work.

I followed the instructions. Installed latest Daydream and photos daydream. Enabled motion. Disabled enhanced hdr+, 3nabled Google photos, wiped cache.

Reboot.

But it's not working. Tried on both Arnova's 1.3 theneun and latest Xcam beta. (19). Still no top shot.

What am I doing wrong? Enlighten me please.

Isn't the 1.3 version latest?

I am on latest OOS Beta (beta 12 I guess) working fine.
[Google Camera Mods] kagwind:
1. Test on the back camera rather than the front one. I am not sure whether topshot works on the front camera on recent versions.

2. Did you get a motion picture or not? If not, force motion to "On" instead of "Auto" for the purpose of testing.

3. If you got a motion picture, did you see a photo strip in Google photos when you swiped up the photo? If not, try different versions of Google photos (starting from 4.6). I had topshot working on 4.6. I recently updated to 4.10 and it seems to work as well. But YMMV. Note that after updating Google photos, you may need to wait for a while (one or two minutes I guess) to get topshot kick in.

4. If you have the strip but no recommended photos are shown, try to shoot a moving object in good lighting condition.

Hope this helps and you can get topshot working.

Tested new beta 19, my favorite is still beta6... Take a look on those screenshots (max zoomed details), you will see the reason why... Old libs Savitar1 and Eszdman3 are really better by far...
[Google Camera Mods] kamso:
Beta 16 or beta 6?

Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A6003 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Beta 6 (on the more recent versions, my favorite libs has been removed)
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
Is the toggle issue there in Beta 6 ? Like you mentioned your denoise parameters are not getting applied. Does Beta 6 have the same issue ?
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Yes bro, the same bug on all versions. But I use denoise parameters only for presets using google libs (too much smooth and oily in my opinion). So the most often I use Savitar1 or Eszdman3 libs, then denoise parameters are not necessary..
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
I mostly use GCam for indoor photos or lowlight ones. I found Savitar and Edszman having too much noice even with your xmls. So using Glibs with your XMLs for indoor or general outdoor photos.
[Google Camera Mods] Jeeza:
Do you guys think that GCam for OP6 will ever reach a "stable" version, with most of the features fully working? Something with an "install and forget" approach...I tested some versions and Gcam surely provides better quality photos, but I always read of messing with configuration files, features not working under certain conditions, crashes, ecc.

I long for the day when an apk will be published and people will just install it and use it without problems...
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
The latest releases from arnova and extrme are stable and can be used "out of the box"

You see a lot of people talking about xmls, denoise settings, libs ecc...because this is a developer forum and people is always looking for improvements, but as I said you can easily use the latest releases with no problems
[Google Camera Mods] Lownita:
Is the xml posted for OP6 by arnova still good to use with latest gcam mods by xtreme and tolyan? I can't find more recent versions of the xml file for OP6.
[Google Camera Mods] chevic:
I think the answer is right here in the topic : less and less comments. Users got what they wanted using one one of the latest versions. Newer versions are for "high end" users for different config, trying to make something more professional, although this is still a phone !
[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
The December release is stable, but there are still issues with resolution when zooming in amongst others.

It's also worth noting XDA Labs has an issue with posting here as the post was moved.
[Google Camera Mods] vercetti:
so if the newer versions are for high end users and the typical user got what he/she wanted which version are you talking of?

which one is the version that made/makes the standard user happy? xcam? tlneun? pixelmod3? ...

thx for helping!
[Google Camera Mods] chevic:
I used with no problem following versions :

- GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013

-MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TinNeun_1.2_Final

- MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TinNeun_2.apk

I am now on the last one. I cannot see major differences, I am not a sophisticated person in terms of photography, I get the results I need. No problem with any of these versions, I do not use front camera, only made some pictures to try it. Panorama, Portrait, Slow motion, Photo sphere, lens are working, Photobooth, I'm not sure, don't even now what is supposed to do, I don't care.

I see posts about freezing, or not saving photos. I had these problems with other versions. And maybe some problems are because Gcam was not installed celan, deleting old versions and cache.
[Google Camera Mods] vercetti:
which last one? the last one in your list above or the last one from developer Xtreme (I think it's xcam beta 19) or TlnNeun (that would then be 1.4 I think)?

with which version did the whole xml settings/profile thing start? or can that be done with any gcam mod? is this required or recommended? do you know of any site that gives a rundown/tutorial about the advantages and installing process of xml settings/profiles?

thx a lot,

greetz!
[Google Camera Mods] chevic:
The last version I mentioned in the list not the xcam. Not sure from which version config files were in force but for sure the first one in my list could not cope with config files. If you read all the pages from 500 up you will find the answer.

User "luclepianiste" posted several config files but only classique.xml is good for me, tried the others but for one reason or other I had frozen or unexpected close Gcam. Didn't bother to find why as I am pleased with the result.(I have Oneplus 6 with Oxygen 9.0.4). Try searching his posts and examples for more info on config files.

A strange thing I can mention with my current version, Night sight takes the same picture like the camera., good I mean. Probably the program chooses itself the night sight when the light is low.
[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
1.4 works fine, motion photo doesn't work with the OP6.xml.

Have any of you checked the Stock camera lately ? The 3.0.16 is impressive compared to Gcam in day light.
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
I totally disagree! Stock cam is almost unusable because excessive smoothing, oily effect and artificial accentuation... It is unbelievable that op6 devs did not fix this problem. Certainly colours are more flattering on stock camera but that's it... Zoomed details :
[Google Camera Mods] chevic:
What really bothers me is that stock don't have 16:9 format.

I'm not so sure that gcsm is better.

In this photo, the sky is better with gcam, but other parts are better with stock cam, more detail and more colour...
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Sorry but if I admit that OP6 camera provides brighter colors and nice exposure, I highly prefer accuracy and texture of gcam. Moreover gcam (mine is xcam5beta6) can be perfectly tuned to get pro results... Too much smoothing and bad texture on stock cam for my personal taste... Originals and zoomed screenshots :

Hey guys, I'm silently following this thread in the last 2 months.

I have noticed that the main dev is no more posting here so my question is: is this project still alive? [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

I actually moved to xtrme version that was largely developed in the last 60 days with new and updated libs and impressive performance improvements.

Plus seems to me the most stable and performing port so far (MGC_6.1.021_xcam_5_beta19).

If you add Marian (aka [MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION]) .XML you just got "that" pixel quality, "that" night mode, "that" crispy hdr selfie face. I mean, I am no longer using stock camera anymore, I even removed the icon from my home because beta19 is simply stable and reliable in every scenario.

want also thank EVERY signle dev/user/person involved in this gcam port, starting from [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION], [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION].

Which .XML are you using with xcam beta 19? Motion photos don't seem to work for me, icon shows up in Photos, but doesn't move. Most of the time Photos also crashes with or without motion photo activated. I've uninstalled and reset the app, still get the crashes. Anyone else?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Marian .XML. I just edited and corrected my prev post (I wrote "Libs" in stead of "XML"). Hope Marian will join us and give you the .XML url, I lost it.

[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
Thanks. Need to change a lot with this though, as motion photo isn't enabled.

How do you use two?

I still get crashes with motion photo as I described. Can't get it to work.
[Google Camera Mods] hayvan96:
Hi,

I've installed Marian's XML and xcam beta 19, works great BUT the portrait mode doesn't seem to use the second back camera :

a) in stock camera, I have a live preview of bokeh effect, not in gcam

b) the results look like the ones I shoot with my redmi note 4 --> blurry borders around hair for instance, when with Oneplus stock app, it's clear cut.

Am I doing something wrong, or gcam is not able to take advantage of the double module?

EDIT: I've read the FAQ in OP:

Q: Can I use the second lens on the rear?

A: No, it is not made available through the API.

So it means if I flash let's say LOS on this oneplus6, I'll lose the use of that second lens :(
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Gcam portrait is via software. Pixel 3 has just one lens camera.

And this (the SW effect) is the reason why it only works on humans (before anyone asks).

And.. no there is absolutely no possible comparison between gcam bukeh and stock. Gcam is simply superb.
[Google Camera Mods] hayvan96:
Gcam on my redmi note 4 is better than OP6 stock cam, so I agree. But for the portrait mode, for instance, with hats, or fuzzy hair, gcam algorithm struggles to detect the correct borders. In these scenarios, stock is better (at least for the fg/bg detection). From all other point of views, gcam is better (colour, noise, etc.)
[Google Camera Mods] fran_caro:
If I turn off the HDR the camera doesn't take a photo, the HDR must be on to take a photo. Any solution?

Wow, never noticed this. I just go all in with HDR+ enhanced.

[Google Camera Mods] le_bron:
You mean you switch between those 2 xmls? Or you use them simultaneously?

Also I have a question. The selfies of this version are only 4mp. Is there any way to make them 16mp, as on stock cam?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
You can't load 2 XML simultaneously. One will overwrite the settings of the previous one. I load the one I need for that particular scenario. Btw I use almost every time the AWB version.

There is nothing to do with selfie. It's 4mp and it will always be because of oneplus limitations.

Guys, you think these photos are good? gcam bgm with luclepianiste xml [IMG="f1"]https://i.imgur.com/b2QH7Qk.jpg[/IMG] [IMG="f2"]https://i.imgur.com/4QEbWke.jpg[/IMG]
[Google Camera Mods] cityeyes:
Yep, seeing this as well on my OP6. Leaving HDR on always isn't an option, because sometimes I want the contrast that a non-HDR photo brings.

This applies to pretty much every camera I've tried so far. I think it might be a system-side change, because I'm pretty sure in the pixel mod, I was able to turn HDR off.

News about recent developments

Hey guys,

Answering Sir Metal's question from a couple pages back and for all those who are not on the Telegram Group: The two main devs who have been developing Gcam (Arnova) and Xcam (Xtrme) for Op6/t devices have APPARENTLY stopped working on their projects.

-Arnova hasn't released any updated versions for over 20 days, and he said that he would be busy with his studies, so this is probably what's happening. We don't know if he will keep developing his build of GCam in the future.

-It is confirmed that Xtrme sold his Op6, so it's highly unlikely that we will see any other release after Xcam beta19.

On the bright side, for all those who are not fully satisfied with the current apks and are still interested in the continued development of the port, we have good news too.

[MENTION=9040262]Urnyx05[/MENTION], who has been developing the camera for the Op5, has offered to support the Op6/t as well.

His most recent release is this one: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v3.7.apk

It already works on Op6/t as it is, but it can be improved and it would be awesome that everyone still involved could test and help develop this build for our devices.
[Google Camera Mods] Tuanloc:
That’s a sad news.
[Google Camera Mods] pacum88:
[MENTION=9040262]Urnyx05[/MENTION] has just released a new version with support for op6/t.

[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Latest gcam and xcam works fine, even if Arnova and Xtrme are not developing for OP6/t anymore it's not a big problem.

And now we have Urnyx working on it too, so I don't think we have to be be sad.
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Hey guys, it's been a while since I've viewed this post. But just wondering what's changed, last version I had was arnovas 1.1

But now I'm seeing a lot of talk about xml files and stuff like that, could someone please catch me up on what's going on?

Arnovas 1.1 was the best for me, I stuck to it as every version I tried after that had a slightly dull contrast that I didn't like, has this been fixed.

Also could someone point me to the lastest version, and how do we use these xml files?
[Google Camera Mods] castrum_doloris:
xml files are just exported configurations/setting of GCam, which you can import if you want (you don't have to)

Put them into /sdcard/GCam/Configs (you have to create the folders by yourself)

Then you have to double tap the bottom bar in GCam (empty space around shutter button)

I don't really know about the differences between your (quite old) version and the latest GCam releases. You have to test it by yourself. Until now, the latest beta 19 from xtrem is often recommended, it is very good in my opinion.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-xtrme/

But appearently he won't do any further releases, so urnyx05 took over and just released today a version for OP6 (Which I've not tested yet)

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/

Just try it, maybe you like them :)

If the contrast still doesn't fit your taste, you surely just could play around with settings a bit to make them fitting
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Thanks for the response, I'm currently downloading beta 19, will see what it's like

Are there any xml file you would recommend over the others?
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
Do you guys use default Noise Reduction settings that come with beta19 or additionally tweak NR by using, say, the Antretng's values?
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Beta 19 is great for fixing the orange tint, it's no where near as bad, but in extremely dark situations as you can see the blacks are no where near as nice/natural

The first one with the orange tint is 1.1 and the second one is beta 19
[Google Camera Mods] nsauro79:
The second one has better colors, but higher noise in black areas
[Google Camera Mods] iad77:
When trying to install beta 19 do I have to uninstall my previous version as it keeps saying installation failed... I'm using this version with playground, not sure if all versions have it now, also with the version I'm on I can't load custom config files. View attachment 4713434
[Google Camera Mods] DAVECGC:
Best practice is to

a) before uninstalling the old camera - go into app settings and clear data - this makes sure there are no settings in the caches

b) uninstall any existing gcam versions

c) install the new one
