Hi :)

Big thanks for this apk :P

So for me it works but i have some issues :

1- Delay between video/audio when using stabilization to ON but this time stereo is correctly recorded at the right place not like stock camera where it's reverted.

2- 4K recording is stuttering.

3- HDR seems not working or i didn't see the difference.

4- In video if i do a focus (touching the screen) this make the auto focus not working anymore and to have it back, we need to switch to photo mode and back to video mode, so auto focus works until touching the screen.

Having these as well on my M10 pro.

The lack of options from the original app is also kinda annoying, especially the missing RAW and pro settings are kind of a deal breaker.

Has anyone tried the latest bsg or arnova
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] madphone:
It's simply a very old version of the Google Camera. For those who report anything is working: it's not. It is just taking regular pictures.

The only thing we have right now is an almost working portrait. The pictures are blueish and lack saturation but it can be fixed easily in Google Fotos (warmer White Balance and boosted saturation).

The difference in quality is unbelievably huge. Huaweis stock Portraits look like crap compared to it, although they use two cameras. The only people who liked those portraits or selfies were some Chinese friends. But for my standards they look like the pictures were taken with a potato. Tried with the p20 I reviewed, same issue.

See yourself and give it a try:

I decompiled it and tried to find the classes responsible for color management but couldn't find anything. Maybe someone here will find it. Forwarded everything to arnovas threads but no reaction.

You havn't mentioned which is which of those 2 pics but at a guess pic1 is gcam and 2 is Huawei. The difference is indeed extreme. Its a real shame no one is actually working on gcam for Huawei, instead we get the barely working hand me downs from other devices. The hardware is obviously very capable but being let down by poor software implementation

You do realise theres a very good reason why nothing works... no one is developing/modifying this for the mate 10. Its very likely we will never see this working properly :rolleyes:

I'm well aware of the lack in development on emui devices. This isn't my first one. But let's face it, the real issue isn't emui, or the lack of support, but the SoC. The Kirin is terrible in a lot of aspects and it's a surprise we can get some things working at all.
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] garvani:

working hdr+ on my mate 10,non-pro. Apk from first post

Well working in that it takes a photo. I don't know how to tell if hdr is on or not.... Poor photo skills. I can take sample photos if you tell me what to take it off to show hdr+ is working.
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] 0alfred0:
Take one with hdr on and one with hdr off, compare them. simple
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] eyeb:
what do I look for? I'm partially color blind... so color isn't going to tell me anything since it all looks the same

I don't really understand what HDR does/is either. does it make photos sharper? or does it make colors pop out more? <--- I can't tell the difference so... if it does this, I can't tell
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] 0alfred0:
Just post the pics here and we will tell.

Just Google it then. Basically it means high dynamic range. The dynamic range is the span between the darkest and the brightest point of the picture. The human eye has a far higher dynamic range than cameras. It means, that we can see the details in the shadow although it might be a bright day.

Here is one example. Basically the image looks closer to what our eyes see. You can see more details in areas where the picture is dark and also in bright parts with a lot of light don't over expose (just bright light).

For cameras there are many different ways of achieving this effect. Google has a very good one so everybody wants to use it even if they don't have a pixel phone because it is mostly software not hardware. Basically you camera shoots a lot of photos (like 8-10) with different light exposure (from very dark to very bright) and then combines the parts of the pictures that are perfectly exposed. This ways you get one picture and all the parts are well exposed and you see a lot of detail.

BTW. Why are you playing around with apps and features if you do not understand what it is? I don't get why you are curious about it if you don't know what you are playing with
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] eyeb:
why not play with it if I don't understand it? That's never stopped anyone from doing something...

I'll find something to take a photo of and post back in a day or two when I'm outside and free to find something interesting

thanks for explanation/example though

with your description of HDR taking multiple exposures, how is this different from other camera apps that have "exposure bracketing"? sounds the same except HDR seems to be faster

but then again, I don't understand slowmo/time lapse setting either. I get that slowmo = higher framerate/second and timelapse = fewer frame rate/minute or hours. But if I could control frame rate, why do I need either of those settings instead of changing the frame rate directly?

[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] laxmateg:
Guys, if anyone wants to play with HDR +, use the version for exinos, everything works there, but the quality is not at its best, inferior to the stok camera in the RAW.

I tride many versions, compared pixel-by-pixel and came to the conclusion that the stock camera shoots better. Alas, but from GoogleCamera and the HDR+ mode, it's not worth waiting for.

HDR+ not working on Honor Play
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] leoni1980:
In case anyone isn’t sure what this is, it’s an ancient version of GCam that *happens* to install on Huawei devices and works with the Kirin CPU as far as basic photos.

It doesn’t take better pictures than the stock camera. In fact they look basically the same to me, if not worse.

HDR+ *DOES NOT WORK* on any model, so don’t even bother looking. The toggle works but the actual HDR processing never takes place. Some people seem to think HDR is working just because the toggle is on.

There is no Portrait mode option to test if this works because this version of Gcam is so ancient that it didn’t even exist.

As far as I can tell the only reason to install this is to use the selfie camera with less beauty smoothing. There is nothing else about this app that offers any advantages over the stock app and none of the reasons you would want to use the Google Camera work in any way at all on this version of the app.
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] johnnyman25:

For the life of me I can't get the colour balance right. I have a red ladybird thing I'm here and the camera wants its tone to tend to yellow rather than blue. If I adjust the blue it still stays a yellowish red but everything else goes blue.
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] leoni1980:
Basically we need a developer to look into this as the working HDR+ in the linked version on this page is a breakthrough, however the colour balance is completely borked and no amount of adjustments can fix it. Either way, the auto colour temperature adjustment doesn’t do anything when you select a different one - eg cloudy - so even if you get the colour balance ok (and OK is about as good as you can get it) then as soon as you change into a different lighting environment it just looks bad again because the software isn’t making any changes to account for the change in lighting conditions. I would love it if Huawei devices got as much dev interest as far as the Pixel camera goes as other devices do. Even Redmi have their own dedicated mods.

Some of the other mods for the 6.1 (Pixel 3) APK also launch and show the camera. They also appear to have working HDR but the camera stops working until you reboot the phone whenever you take a picture.

[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] leoni1980:
I would disagree on this. There’s a lot more detail and less blowout with the Pixel APK. The Huawei camera app exhibits a lot of smeary image processing and in my opinion produces pretty poor photos that don’t live up to the hype it received last November when it launched. I’ve compared two cropped photos taken on both apps at the same time taken within a second of each other and the difference in detail in the Pixel app is astounding. Unfortunately the colour balance in the Pixel app is a a complete dumpster fire :(

@urnyx05 sir, can u tell me difference between snapdragon Hexagon DSP and kirin NPU both perform the machine learning and Artificial intelligence tasks.

Prerequisites of gcam is hexagon DSP that's present on snapdragon processors and kirin has NPU. If both perform the same tasks like ML and AI then y is gcam not compatible with kirin processors
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] ThoroSOE:
Wow. The pixel camera gives WAY more detail! And I have only tested this in low light yet. THIS is the camera performance I expect from a 2018 high end phone.

One thing in the settings I have to add: I also did some changes in the Saturation Adjustment section. Images were way to bland and off without that. I put Hightlight Saturation on 2.0 and Shadow Saturation on 3.0. But I will have to experiment with that in other lighting conditions.

Here is a nice example of the difference. Both pictures (that I took those crops from) were taken seconds apart from about 0.9 m (3 feet) distance in the same light (yellow-greenish by Philips Hue, generally rather a low light scene with no natural light). Both apps were on full auto from the same distance. The default app was on 20 megapixels (as this seems to give the best results mostly).

First (more greenish) image is from the stock camera app, the second with the pixel app.

And now tell me again, that the stock camera app does better. Even the color is more true to life on the pixel app (though also not spot on). I got the same result from pictures with our cat, a bookshelf (man, does the overprocessing of the stock app murder fine font details on the books!), ... I am very curious, how the pixel app will do with grass tomorrow.

Edit: The EXIF and file infos of both original images

Huawei App: Mode: cof, ISO 320, 1/33 Sek., 5120x3840 pixel, file size: 3,08 MB

What version?
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] ThoroSOE:
The one linked earlier in this thread: 5.1.23_R4X

My phone is a BLA-L29 Mate 10 Pro on firmware 8.0.0.157

It so far only crashed, when the Motion Mode was on. Everything else looks great so far. Even properly stablilized 1080p 60 fps video works and looks way better than the default camera output. Also portrait mode with the main camera works great so far (not that I will use this gimmick often ...).
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] Grumpy Cat:
Tried that version earlier but remembered it gave me quite a few issues, seems to be working better now.

What I have noticed so far is that the motion mode does seem to make the app crash also if you are zoomed in with the flash on, there is also a very long delay with the front camera if flash is on and you can't change the resolution of the back camera. I haven't fully tested the app yet but when I get a chance I will report on my findings.
[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] ThoroSOE:
Another example of the difference in detail. These are the upper left quadrant of pictures taken from the same spot, so the lower right corner is about dead center of the full image (had to make crops, because XDA scales even the full images too much). First image is pixel app, second is stock app. You cannot even guess the titles on the green books on the stock app photo, even though it has a much higher resolution (20 MP vs 11.8 MP). Amazing!

Note: The original sizes were: 5.42 MB for the pixel app image and 4.15 MB for the stock app - and that with the stock image being 20 MP and the pixel image 11.8 MP (not surprising, as high compression is one part of the problem).

[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] irshad wani:
If other apps are running smoothly like Google photos which works on snapdragon works same with the kirin. When update comes that comes to all the devices.

I am also a student of Computer science doing BCA . Now in this semester i am studying android. Now the thing is i am using Gcam from a year on a phone that had worst cameras ever after that i installed Gcam on it. The camera improvement was from zero to hero. So now i have purchased honor play so the phone is very nice but the problem is i can't install gcam in it. So i am curious about it why it is not compatible with kirin processors. I am not that type of developer yet who can do these things but i am still studying android. Android is like an ocean. You just see the android studio that too is an ocean.

In nutshell i think those processes which depends on the Hexagon DSP has to be changed in order to get that work on kirin NPU. Yesterday I was checking the files and libraries of Gcam but couldn't do anything. Now i think i have to accelerate in order to learn Android. But we have only basic of android in our college and i have to study something extra then I can do anything in android.

[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Themes, A] Urnyx05:
You can't compare Google Photo with GCam. GCam needs specific architecture where to process HDR+, you can't just say that NPU and Hexagon are similar because they both process AI. And, Google Photo is made to work on every phone, GCam is made to work only on Pixels.
