Hello, I own an OP6T (A6013) non rooted and I’m following this topic for some days now looking for an advice to choose the best GCam port but it’s quite difficult to figured out as sometimes it seems each person has his own port/apk preference.

I finally started to try by myself, unfortunately after 5 different APK, the result are far from good, I know it’s still beta, but I’m a bit confused as I was thinking GCam port more stable than that.

Here my first tests:

Note: I’ve left every settings by fault and I have clean cache & storage between each camera uninstall/install

The first test with GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk

Once I took a picture where’s a bit of a sky (blue actually), the camera crashes, the HDR notification process is stucked, then it’s impossible to take a single picture.

So force stop, then clear cache and storage, restarted the camera, disabled the HDR, took a picture with the top half in the sky … same issue!

Second one: MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan.apk

The camera launch, display the options but the screen is black (empty) like something was in front of the camera

Third one: MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.1_TlnNeun.apk

The camera didn’t even launch, it crashes automatically

Fourth one: GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk

Same as the second one, the camera launch, display every option but the screen is black (empty) like something was in front of the camera.

If I select the front camera the screen remains black, but the options on the top of the camera disappears…

If I revert back to the rear camera, the Cam options are still missing

Latest test: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk

Did not test the “bluesky crash” I'm talking above, but at least the app can take some pictures

Anyway, the Slow motion feature crashes, and the Portrait mode display a black screen

So what's your opinion, am I missing something, is there any reliable GCam port ?

Thank you

GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.2beta_build.6.1.013.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-11-20) is the only one that worked on my 6T. I can't post a link, sorry.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Thing is, Arnova does not have the OP6T and relies on logs to fix issues with the OP6T.

You can ask OnePlus why the same base hardware behaves differently from the 6 to the 6T...

Or how they were able to cripple camera2api even further coming from the OP3 to the 6.

Thinking of this, I start hating them more and more.

Since the OP3 we were asking them to fix their camera implementation, and it gets even worse with every new device.

Let's add a video enhancer though, rad stuff!

I've created a comparison Album if you want to see how the OP6 with GCam compares to the Pixel 3.

Currently all shots taken with Arnovas latest Test 1 + savitar lib + 9 frames HDR+ and active motion metering.

All shots either with Night Sight or enhanced HDR+ (on both devices).

https://photos.app.goo.gl/KCaFFAaqpaStY25u5

More shots to come...

Yes, it still struggles in daylight to get a shot and has the circle animation stop issue every now and then.

Hi, every day I install, uninstall, reinstall differents builds to find the best for me... Today, my very favourite is this one:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TEa6cP3afklQn1y9_L3Ypl5traaCNhBX with google libs, colours are very natural (not too vivid, no greenish tones, more shadings...) balance is perfect whatever the light source, and above all the contrast is strong enough, shadows are a bit darker, it's really nice for me... Unfortunately, I encounter the same issue of inactive button under bright daylight.... My dream: the same build without issues :angel:
[Google Camera Mods] Slash8915:
Portrait mode on my OP6t doesn't work for me using the latest version. The picture that it saves is definitely not a portrait shot, and it only saves one picture total.
[Google Camera Mods] interfreak:
Some pictures taken with GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.2beta_build.6.1.013.apk. Only settings I changed was to switch to 16:9, enabled HDR+ enhanced.
[Google Camera Mods] Jasonlhleung:
Is the yellowish tint as regards white balance been noted and is being worked on?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
It only works on humans, nothing else (sometimes also on human like figures and statues).

Has been discussed multiple times, do a search for more info.

Hello, how would i go about getting this to work on my Mi Mix running MIUI 10, it just closes every time i open it. Thanks
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
I know that could sound annoying but I stepped back to 1.1. to me is still unbeatable. No circles, no light problems. The only issue (that is not properly an issue actually) is the shutter latency (meaning that from the instant you tap it will take a while before acquiring the image). Everything else works really fine.

You know how bad i am addicted to updates and I feel bad stepping back to an "old" version, but if you have kids, you really wanna take shots in daylight. You ain't wait for better moments.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Not annoying at all, as I am using an even older version (GCam 5.3 Pixel3Mod 1.5 Beta2) for important shots.

1.1 works fine, but I prefer the older version for image quality.

Everything else is just for finding bugs and providing logs directly to Arnova... and the occasional Night Sight Photo (savitar lib provides good detail in Night Sight).

We still have the same main-issues on all recent versions. They basically only differ in the amount of additional settings to "tune" image quality.

Luckily Arnova is not looking to provide a version with the most possible options, but concentrating on the issues first.

I know that users ask me sometimes for the "best" settings, but In my opinion this discussion is pointless until we have a fully stable apk.
[Google Camera Mods] JG:
This is very true..

Sometimes people sometimes just fail to realize that these are all still work in progress test releases, .that why they are listed as such with names like beta and test in the name. They release them knowing they are not perfect projects and release them in order to get feedback and logs usually to assist in the effort to get it to where it can be stable with the options that we all wish would work and across multiple devices which is why there is so many devs on these projects and hence so many different releases etc.. So the fact that there is quite a few of them out there, just test them and report back results by a mention to the dev or a log is always helpful.

But if you are just wishing to find which one works best for you or has the options that are most important to you and it seems stable enough, then you should just stick with that one as your fallback until a better one comes along that you can be pleased with. For me personally, it is the 1.1 version.
[Google Camera Mods] lalit_pnl:
what is the latest camera app version required for the above features to work ? and i am unable to install playground. On OP6 running open beta 8. any help would be appreciated.
[Google Camera Mods] Slash8915:
My subjects ARE humans. It's still not working.

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but what are the main differences between the libs?
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
According to the build, main renderings are differents... On my current version, google libs provides great contrast and natural colours, edzman 1&2 = neutral and softer contrast, savitar very sharp but lot of noise. (Sorry for my basic english language lol )
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
This is working quite fine on my OP6T and the results are quite impressive. What settings I should have. Its too detailed.
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Could you believe that this pic has been shooted by night? (OP6 gcam v0.6b_TinNeun_xcam_3 nightsight
[Google Camera Mods] FredC94:
Thank you, the app is there, I made some test today, and it seems working, anyway better than the last 5 I've tested previously

thank you for sharing it

However it's a bit strange some pictures are warmer on the OP6 than the Pixel 3 and on some other pics the OP6 are colder...Same app and same settings each time ?

excuse my question, but what do you mean by Google libs ? Is it required for some GCam port ? Where those are available ?
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
No, it's included in some gcam versions, you can choice your preferred libs in the advanced settings.
[Google Camera Mods] gorman42:
Nice! Thanks for the comparison gallery. I have to say that I pretty much prefer the Pixel shots in every single scene. The difference is not subtle. Wonder what's the source of such an obvious difference. Simply curious, this is not meant as criticism, at all.
[Google Camera Mods] terrorblade23:
Guys... There is any version in which night sight work ok and without that yellow green ish tint?

---------- Post added 15-12-2018 at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was 14-12-2018 at 11:53 PM ----------

Where did you find it?
[Google Camera Mods] bishal6251:
Thank u for this. The difference is really huge which is details, hue, saturation and ISO value . I think Pixel 3 just nails in the color balance whereas OP6 just ruins it which will probably be fixed in future release. However, I don't think that OP6 will ever be able to extract as much as detail as pixel does with settings tweaks...I m really thankful to devs, even though it hasn't been on par with pixel 3 yet( talking about color balance not details), mod cam is just way better than OnePlus's stock camera.... thank for all the effort
[Google Camera Mods] vikasb32:
Guys sorry for asking but I search and didn't find any ans which i am looking for. I am using gcam for past few version but for me sometimes photo save sometime it didn't save and sometime processing circle just hang up. Is any there any version which just work everytime ? I am not very hardcore user just want a gcam which work everytime I click any picture so I can completely get rid of op camera.
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
This one: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TEa6cP3afklQn1y9_L3Ypl5traaCNhBX (but issues when used in daylight conditions)

This one works everytime and no greenish/yellowish nightsight: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan-Advances+.apk

(but I prefer contrast and colour of the other one)
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
Can someone mod this camera to work on OP6T ? They give the best result for my OP3T. Better than what I am getting from any cameras on OP6T.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/f...dy_gcam_5.1.018_Mod_v6_fix.apk
[Google Camera Mods] ravidevani:
This one is the most stable as far as I can tell.

GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.4beta2_build.6.1.0210.apk

Go to gcam settings > advanced > enable pref_motion_autofocus_key
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
this is impressive.

generally I'd point out that there are 500 bucks in betwwen these two devices BUT this time I'd actually say that having a slightly better camera is not worth 500 bucks. It it better? Yes it is. HAVE TO because it's been programmed for working with that particular hardware, you can bet on it. But the price is simply waaaaaaaaaay too much.

this works on direct daylight? 1.1 does and has no circle animation so far. my choiche for now.
[Google Camera Mods] pepa 77:
Hello in the daylight I still use :

As far as i know, this only happens on the newer ports.

Haven't had a problem with this one:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TEa6cP3afklQn1y9_L3Ypl5traaCNhBX

Set front camera to Nexus 5X, then it works fine for me. All in all very stable, lots of settings and good picture quality. You can also play around and test the libs.

Well, this is where I get totally confused. I have been downloading latest gcam apps from this thread. I'm using one from Nov. 27. But I came accross list of many other gcam builds. I never tryed any of them because I'm not sure if they would work on op6. I'm thinking those other builds are for different phones.

So how does one figure out which app is usable with your phone?
[Google Camera Mods] JG:
just install and test is all ,that what most of us do until we find one usable or stable enough

and yes some are geared towards certain devices but doesnt necessarily mean they wont work for you.
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Hi friends, I don't wanna be heavily insistent, but I really love the rendering of

MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G-based_v.0.6b_TlnNeun_xcam_3.apk, on my opinion the best results by far, the most natural colours, the closest of genuine Pixel3, well balanced contrast... If our favorite modders could have a look to make this build more stable it could be marvellous...

Guys I'm have been using this cam mod for a long time on my 6t , and today cuz of this application, more than 60 photos were deleted , even from the file manager. They were all clicked with the help of this apk. Thankfully they are backed up, but is there any way to fix it and has this happened to anyone else before? Thank you

Also I'm using this version, as I find it most stable GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.2beta_build.6.1.013.apk
[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
Having tried some of the mods, I still find 1.1 works the best. I get hardly any hang ups and processing photos works a treat. There's no significant difference in any of the other version for me.
[Google Camera Mods] n8chavez:
I'm getting confused here between all these different mods. Which mod/version for the OP6T includes a working topshot?

EDIT: Never mind. It seems Google Photos updated from 4.6 to 4.7, and topshot doesn't work in 4.7.
[Google Camera Mods] doc_v15:
Nice shots.

I installed and trying it now, it does have the best balance of everything, IMHO.

But one small thing bother me, the selfie result, when I look the metadata, it says the maker is Huawei? What in the world? ?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Guys can you please share the link to this version?

Tks

Ps: works on daylight?
[Google Camera Mods] n8chavez:
It's right here.
[Google Camera Mods] doc_v15:
It works on daylight! So good
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Tks a lor mate, i went back page by page but didn't found it. Tks a lot

So selfie not working in these 2 versions?
[Google Camera Mods] n8chavez:
I have not had an issue with them, either in portrait or camera mode, with this build. But I prefer the gcam_pixelmod branch for topshot. They are taken fine, but I do have an issue with bright light or white. Reflections seem to cause an issue with the MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G branch but not on the gcam-pixel mod branch. Try setting the front camera to nexus 5. That might help.
[Google Camera Mods] marcmarshall:
Only shoots back camera at 12mps?
[Google Camera Mods] doc_v15:
Selfie is working perfectly on mine, and bright lights also working fine

[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Selfie not working confirmed. Sometimes it takes pics but often it fails or crashes.

There are many options to set but i didn't test and went back to 1.1

Hello Guys,

First of all, thanks to the Devs for the amazing work, especially to Arnova, the pics I am taking are wonderful..

All the features are working so far but the slow motion.

**Running config**

I am running 9.02ob8 and the version of my gcam is 6.1.0.21 aka MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.0_OP6test2_TlnNeun.apk.apk

I went through the first page of the thread and tried to find some leads through the entire thread but didn't find much help when it comes to slow Mo not working.

When I click on the slow Mo feature, the video is super slow like frames are missed and when I start the recording, the app crashes.

Attached the logs.

Thanks for your insight and have a great Sunday :)

EDIT: added the logs as zip as .txt limit is 500kb. ;)

[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Yes bro
[Google Camera Mods] marcmarshall:
Do you have the 16mpx print in settings for the back camera. I do not.
[Google Camera Mods] marcmarshall:
Do you have the 16mpx option in settings for the back camera with 4:3 format? I do not for 4:3. Maybe I am wrong to expect it.
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
No, it displays 12 max in settings whatever the version installed on my device...
[Google Camera Mods] marcmarshall:
I have the 16mpx option for 16:9 format. Are you shooting in 16:9? That would explain it.

I have found arnova 1.1 version still better in all different conditions of lighting. Is there any special feature in MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G-based_v.0.6b_TlnNeun_xcam_3.apk that makes pics even more better.?
[Google Camera Mods] Slash8915:
So I just installed and used the latest gcam upload, and it works VERY well! The pictures look great and night sight doesn't seem to have the yellowish tint to it. Eventhough it's technically a port for the mi8, it works fine on my OP6t.

[Google Camera Mods] Jack_Sparrow_:
I'm a bit confused lately, so many different mods, numbers... I'm lost, dunno which version works better than others. I found that some camera are not saving shots in gallery. Anyway thanks a lot for your work devs ?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
ALL

latest versions have the same issues, which all come down to motion metering (different issues with ON/OFF, RAW10 format issues)

and shots not being taken in daylight situations. More and more mods come up, but all these do is adding more options for image quality adjustments. The bugs still remain.

Arnova8G2 does know about all issues and he also knows why they happen (he got the logs for these issues). Finding fixes is a hard and sometimes long task though.

Just to let you know, the OP3/T does not have these issues. So if you want to help, complain to OnePlus for not knowing how to implement a camera correctly.

In the meantime, many already posted versions which work more reliable:

- MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G-based_v.0.6b_TlnNeun_xcam_3.apk

- GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013.apk

- GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta2.apk

All can be found here:

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

I can only speak for the OP6 (not the T).
[Google Camera Mods] SAO:
Thanks for the clarification! Much appreciated.

Just trying to pin down out of these three... Which one is recommended for the 6T A6013 9.0.7.

As many are posting here without precising which phone they have. 6 (open beta8, 9.0.3) , 6T ( T-Mobile, 9.0.7 A6013).

Would be nice for the people who are searching to clarify which model they are or add it to their signature. Thx.

[Google Camera Mods] gorman42:
Just bought a 6T do substitute my Nexus 6P. I wasn't downplaying the results, nor criticizing the port in any way. I'm actually left wondering if some tuning would entail getting closer to Pixel results. Admittingly, I don't even know whether this "tuning" is doable at all, it's just curiosity.

I'm quite convinced it's all in the software. Lens can make a difference but not in the way we see in those pictures.
