hey,

i tried various settings in the camera , also tried the default settings but i cant get the back camera to shoot in 16 mpx. When i go to the google photos and tap on details of the photo, it still shows 12 mpx only. Would you mind sharing your camera settings please?

Also to be clear i am using MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G-based_v.0.6b_TlnNeun_xcam_3.apk
[Google Camera Mods] JG:
I edited the last post with a question in regard to that other one you mentioned .

But ,

Yeah none of them are perfect of course right now,But I was downtown Chicago last night at Navy Pier and it took some pretty nice shots with 1.1 of the buildings skyline and lake Michigan and they were pretty nice and a few with the stock cam . The shots looked nicer on the gcam 1.1 but zooming in the shots I still think the stock does a better job on zoom in comparison, but overall I would say the gcam shots are much better. I would post the shots but since the wife liked them so much, I moved them off of my phone and onto my wife's computer already and didn't think of keeping copies.But if I get around to it today ,I will share them if she lets me get back into her computer that is .lol

I meant MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.1_TlnNeun_xcam_0.apk

I think i found it on this thread somewhere. Sorry messed up my shareable link

you can find it here : MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.1_TlnNeun_xcam_0.apk

6T A6013 9.0.7
[Google Camera Mods] JG:
I can only;y speak for the 6T ,but if I remember correctly they all pretty much do just 12mp in portrait mode but most of them will do 16mp in camera mode with exception to a couple of them I tested,not sure about the one you mentioned.Did you try both camera and portrait mode and see if they are different as far as 12mp vs 16mp?
[Google Camera Mods] SAO:
what model / firmware?

if on 6T try the one above it does 16mp MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.1_TlnNeun_xcam_0.apk

you can also try the MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.1_TlnNeun_xcam_1.apk but that one didn't work out well for me.

OP6T A6013 9.0.7
[Google Camera Mods] JG:
Yep ,didn't know about that one in particular, but thanks for the link,I will check them out.
[Google Camera Mods] Ditroiz:
This version works pretty well on A6000 9.0.2. Do you have any custom setting to małe photos even better?
[Google Camera Mods] JG:
Here is some comparison shots from 6t stock camera vs the Nov 7th GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013.apk from last night both with default settings.

1st shot is gcam regular and 2nd shot is gcam night mode . 3rd shot is oneplus stock camera regular camera mode and 4th is oneplus stock night mode.

they come out much better on the phone ,but they are night shots from very far away probably couple miles away are the buildings
[Google Camera Mods] Timmmmaaahh!:
Gcam did a really good job there! Even captured the bright star nicely. Thanks for testing.

I really like this version but I'm on op6 with newest official Oreo and when I put it into night sight, my viewfinder is completely green. The picture is ok but I can't see what I'm talking a pic of until after. Any fix for this or is this 1.1 exclusively for the 6T? At least ar stickers are working fine on it!
[Google Camera Mods] somebob:
Why are you still on Oreo?!!

If you are on official rom, why not upgrade to pie? It's been months since the stable pie was released.

If you want better compatibility use the latest official ROM or pixel experience rom.

These problems that you are facing are not present in the pie. Almost 99.9 % the new updates of Google cam will be for pie. So,

Upgrade to pie that's the only fix !

New version being tested looks promising for color temperature correction but the images posted in the telegram chat looked a lot more out of focus than the stock cam. Washed out looking.
[Google Camera Mods] KethG:
Does slow mo ever work on any of these versions?
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
It works... But for that to happen you need to

1. Force stop the camera

2. Start it again but by long clicking the icon and selecting "take a video"

3. When you're done force stop the camera again and it'll be back to normal for usual pics and videos.

Latest version, MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun-Fix

seems to be working fine for most things but I can't start the "night sight" mode. Selecting it in the "more" menu simply closes the app...

Oneplus 6, OOS 9.02, rooted with FrancoKernel r13...

Well that's (the crashing if the app when opening night sight) only happening when motion picture is enabled by the corresponding toggle switch, it seems... That was my previous config so that sticked. Un ticking it solves the crash... But removes the focus tracking.

GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013.apk is still a better version for daily use. Because of bright light bug.
[Google Camera Mods] SAO:
What ever version I am using....when I want to take pictures of my kids, in any situation : inside with flash, inside without flash (but good lightning conditions), outside for a quick snap, or even my face (not front camera) with or without flash....the colours are great , the border between blurred background and face is almost perfect.... But the faces are ALWAYS slightly out of focus/blurred. Unless there is 0 movement. But even I tested on myself, not moving, with flash the picture never comes out crisp.

Is this happening to any one else?

As that is my primary use, it's annoying. This also happens with the stock app. I would love to see a manual mode, or at least a setting to adjust the deafault shutter speed/iso combo. Like for example "adjust shutter speed +1/100" and" adjust iso +20"
[Google Camera Mods] Beso:
To bad there is no "sport" mode...?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I don't have this issue in appropriate situations. Of course when motion is involved, focus can sometimes be less quick or accurate, even more so in bad lighting.

The OP6 has a sensor with comparatively small pixelsize. It will by design need slower shutterspeeds/higher ISO to capture enough light / the same amount as bigger pixelsize sensors (basically any flagship these days).

Indoors this means quite often 1/30s or even lower with already pretty high ISO levels, which is simply not enough to capture a moving child sharply. In comparison to my Pixel 3 workphone, this is substantially worse!

But also keep in mind, by design all current phones prefer lower shutterspeeds to keep the ISO low.

Sometimes the camera prefers to focus on the background rather than the main subject, but a tap-to-focus usually fixes this.

What's focused on is usually sharp and crisp for me (not counting in blur due to handshake or slow shutterspeeds in lower lighting).

I just did a quick test with regular and enhanced HDR+ indoors and my face is as sharp as it can possibly be (almost too sharp with savitar lib).

As for a manual mode, you can already force specific shutterspeeds in more recent versions and force 1/100s for example,

but this will only be applied to enhanced HDR+.
[Google Camera Mods] baazellbub:
Does on the latest version the rear portrait mode still works only on people or is it updated to work on objects too?
[Google Camera Mods] SAO:
Thanks a lot for your reply and clarifications. Seems logical. Thus I see on the note 9 and mate20 pro some come out really nice....but they are also hit or miss.

I use eszdman2 as like you I think that savitar is way to sharp and isn't that natural, eszdman2 seems the best balance for me.

I just can't find the shutter speeds configuration.. would you mind telling me where it is.

I'm using the latest version, MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun-Fix on 6T A6013 9.0.7

Thanks before hand.

---------- Post added at 10:01 ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 ----------

For me it seems to also work on objects, but doesn't offer you the two different frames options. So it works without working.

Edit : indeed I just looked at pictures I took yesterday M20P Vs 6T Gcam , for the same picture 6T Gcam takes pictures at 1/33 with iso of 1344(!!) And the M20P at 1/24 ISO 800. This is for sure the sensor , correct?
[Google Camera Mods] chevic:
I am using for more than a month GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013 by Arnova. It's stable and I'm satisfied with the results. I'm not a photo expert just an amateur so the result are more than OK for me. Only in the night mode I was surprised to see what a Huawei P20 Pro can do compared to Oneplus 6. So when I saw "luclepianiste" ' s night picture I was amazed. I downloaded the apk mentioned by him MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G-based_v.0.6b_TlnNeun_xcam_3 and I made some photos to compare. Seems that Tineun xcam 3 is more or less the same with Aronva's 1.1 both better than stock. So I'll stick with Arnova's 1.1 for now. Bellow the photos, you can compare them.

[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
It is called "autoexposure correction" in this version.

If it takes only one shot, it definitely does not use portrait processing. What you are seeing is probably natural bokeh when being close to the subject.

Take another shot in regular auto mode and you will probably get the same result.

This exactly. The sensor is mediocre, and it shows in slow shutterspeeds combined with high ISO. The M20P is using a slightly slower shutterspeed, but the ISO level is noticeably lower in comparison..

In my opinion the OP6 can still manage to get quite good results in the 1000-3000 ISO range, but there is basically no leeway left to increase the shutterspeed in these situations or you will end up with ISO 6000-9000!
[Google Camera Mods] SAO:
Indeed....if only we could port oxygen OS to the mate20 that would be too good to be true :D

Thanks for your answers mate.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
To be honest, I don't like Huawei's image processing in daylight and also in their nightmode.

Almost any fullsize sample I see online looks kinda overprocessed and bad to me.

Doesn't matter whether AI was used or not.
[Google Camera Mods] SAO:
I tend to agree with you here. Personally the p20pro had better pictures....I'm just torn between which flagship phones I should take on Xmas vacations...note 9 m20p p20p or this baby.

But that's another subject.
[Google Camera Mods] Beso:
Best result for moving object? How an with which app take a picture? Thank you
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
On OP6 and OP6t it will NEVER work on objects. It is an algorithmically created fake bokeh added around the subject, which again is identified algorithmically. As all objects are objects an algorithm cannot know that a thing is your subject and distinguish it from other things

It works on pixels because they use multiple pixel focusing (or whatever the name) which is a different sensor tech not present on the OP (they have two cams for that).

But if you want "portrait mode" on objects open your GCam with the "take video" shortcut and you'll see that instead of the "portrait" mode you have "lens blur"... That works great on objects as the depth is intended with one single sensor that moves, not two sensors or multiple points on a single sensor like in the recent pixel...

[Google Camera Mods] thejase:
I'm still on Oreo because I have TWRP , bl unlock, and magisk. In addition, I have Xposed for magisk that I use. I was under the impression that pie loses some of this functionality. I don't want to lose any of it since it's working so well. Also, the last time I updated to Oreo I had to erase all my data. I followed a guide to the letter, and still lost everything. The a/b partition system really makes things difficult. For those reasons, I'm afraid to upgrade.
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
No problem with bright light on the last one... Arnova8g2's fix solved it (at least for me...).

It's so far the best I've tried in terms of always taking a picture, image quality, colours and settings... The Savitar lib it offers is fantastic as it denoises very little and you get details that would disappear otherwise. And option to control denoise if you find that too noisy (it really isn't)...

problem with bright light is still there in latest version
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Bright light issue still present for me and many others according to other forums and Telegram.

That's a known "issue". Without HDR+, no processing at all will be applied to your shots, which will result in noticeably worse shots than what the stock camera produces.

We are all using this mod strictly for HDR+, which still has issues in some situations.

So the priority isn't really in fixing "no HDR+" at the moment.

This was exactly the issue I was having, and made a post a week or so back. Portrait mode was also so laggy that it wasn't usable. I had been avoiding installing the OTA OOS 9.0.2 update to Pie. I can confirm that the update was smooth, I've had zero issues, and the gcam (GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013.apk) just started working perfectly. I didn't even have to reinstall it. I also have GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk installed (via AppCloner) and it also went from laggy in portrait mode to no issues.

Edit: The Pixel2Mod version is force closing /crashing upon opening. I thought it was working, but perhaps I didn't check.

I haven't rooted or used Xposed since my Nexus 5x... Totally stock. So YMMV.

Currently on version GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013.apk

Is there are way to ditch the folder where portrait photos are saved?
[Google Camera Mods] AbMike7:
few bugs that im facing.

So, I've been using the latest Gcam apk that was released on 27th nov on my 6T and following are few of the things that I'm facing.

1) After taking a photo it takes a long time for it to get saved into the gallery/google photos.

2) The front cam portrait mode is slower than the previous version for me.

3) sometimes the pictures won't get saved even after clicking atleast 2-3 times.

rest it's really faster than the previous versions but for me the previous versions were much stable than this one.

If anyone can help me out with these bugs then I'd be grateful.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
1) If you wait slightly longer before tapping on the preview image, it will open up the fully processed shot instead of first showing you the Google Photos gallery

(more recent versions have Photos removed by default and are using the previous gallery)

2) Can't say anything about this. Do you have enhanced HDR+ enabled for Portraits?

(depending on the lighting situation, this can be slower, but sometimes provides better image quality and dynamic range)

3) I think this issue was first introduced by Google Camera

6.1.021

.

There is no apk available yet which fixes this issue on said version number. (basically all recent mods are based on this version)

Try this one, it should not have this issue yet:
