It depends on what your starting point was in terms of initial gcam install. There have been a lot of developers with modifications to a GCAM base. As long as you stick to a "family" chances are a newer version will be just be treated as an update. If however you try a version from a different "family" there may be enough difference in the base underlying code that causes an issue with Android's package installer.

Personally I stopped back at the MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun_2.apk (12/30). Is it perfect - no but it works for what I want or need.

Since 12/30 there have been probably 50 additions to https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ from at least 5/6 different developers.

Most are probably compatible with each other but there will be exceptions that require a "clean install" (i.e. uninstall old version and then install new)
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Be happy guys, Xtreme confirmed he's still working developing xcam!
[Google Camera Mods] pacum88:
Yes! Happily I was wrong to say that he was unlikely to carry on development for OP devices :)

Xcam beta20 is already out on Telegram but not yet upload do Celso's website.

[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
I was waiting for manual focus sooooooo baaad! Can't wait to try it.

Expecially in night mode it's impossibile to focus on close subjects (even setting the camera for "close" subj).

[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
man, beta20 is sooooooooo slooooow in taking photos.. back to beta19.
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Hey I downloaded the latest beta 19 and installed it, and downloaded an xml file by arnova, but I don't know how to activate it, I made those folder and placed it in there, but holding down below capture button doesn't do anything, no message pops up or anything

Edit : Got it working, I read it wrong, I was holding instead of double tapping
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Library on arnova version and xtrme version are different. I don't think that an XML done for arnova will work properly on xtrme and vice versa.

If you are on xtrme use Marian XML.

All the other XML out there are mostly just copied from Marian's.

Ps: just saw a couple of new releases from arnova. Very nice :)
[Google Camera Mods] Vexylle:
The new Arnova version looks promising. Night Sight takes good pictures(colors are pretty accurate without the yellowish tint).
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Where do you find these xml files? Also how are people still finding new releases from arnova? I thought they would be in this thread if he was releasing more? Also checked the download location where you find lots of different versions and I couldn't find any new ones by arnova

Sorry I'm really confused by all this ?

Edit : Ok, I found the XML for Marian's but I don't know how updated these are, I just searched this thread and they where there several posts back.

Is there a better place where I can know if this are the newest ones that everybody is using, or was there only 1 release of them?

Also when I downloaded them I got 2 XML files, one is

Marian---XLib2s---N6P.xml

And the other is

Marian---XLib2s---P3XL---AWB.xml

My question is which is better in your opinion? I'm going to test these out to see the difference but would like to know from somebody which is better, I see the P3XL one is AWB which I'm assuming mean auto white balance? Does that mean the other doesn't have an auto white balance? (Cause I'm thinking with auto white balance would surely be better)
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Those 2 files are the lastest. You'll be massively thankful to Marian, trust me bro.

[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] :laugh:
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
It is great I do like it a lot but one problem I have with it is it's almost too blue tint

Here I have some examples

The first one is stock settings, and it's actually quite accurate to the yellowish lights I have here.

The second is Marian's XML, it looks perfect, as if it was daytime, that's what my house looks like in daytime when it's natural light and not my yellowish lights. But in terms of which is more accurate to what I'm seeing right now, the default is pretty accurate. It's a slight bit over yellow but is more close to what the situation is than compared to Marian's XML.

A mix between the 2 would be perfect.

I will see if I can mess around with the settings and get a perfect medium
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Try the other XML from Marian. The difference is in AWB. So one will always be a bit colder that the other. Make a comparison between: no XML (you have to clear cache and data of gcam), Marian---XLib2s---N6P and Marian---XLib2s---P3XL---AWB.

Then use the one you like more. :)

Ps: gcam must be alt least xtrme beta19

[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Some of you who were playing around with RAW (DNG) files on the OP6/T probably noticed that these are somehow "wrong" in terms of whitebalance, exposure, and are also heavily desaturated. This makes it quite hard to even make these DNGs look like their JPEG counterparts.

A while ago Savitar was very helpful and gave me a quick tutorial on how to patch these DNG files created by GCam.

This way all mentioned cons are eliminated and you end up with a DNG which is much easier to edit out of the box.

So all credit goes to Savitar!

This patch is looking for DNG files stored in pictures/raw (default GCam raw folder).

It will not create new files, but keep the existing ones.

What is needed for this:

- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.al.exiftool

- https://drive.google.com/open?id=1idHkkSaEavevLQz-r5g04pTcIXzaAXsK

The files from the zip need to be extracted to your device's local storage main directory.

When all is setup, start exiftool, tap on the advanced settings button at the top right, select "Execute command" and insert this code:

(add it to favorites for future use)

Depending on how many DNG files you have stored on your device, patching can take a little while.

When the process is finished you will get a summary log.

Keep in mind that this patch does not detect already patched DNG files. There is no harm in reapplying the patch once more, other than it taking longer depending on the number of files.

The results speak for themselves:

Before and after patching the DNG files. All screenshots show unedited raw output after loading the DNG into Photoshop Express.

[Google Camera Mods] Denisuu:
From this site I downloaded these files from the devs recommend section. Do you guys agree with this? Or better to use B20 or B19 with differrent config files?

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

"MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_V1.3.030119.0645.apk"

With these 2 config files:

"arn1.3-cel-base-config.xml" "arn1.3-cel-quality-config.xml"

I had the GCam version from the first post installed without a config file and noticed no difference with stock.

[Google Camera Mods] 1N1ghth4wk:
there is no "official" gcam for OP6. These are all ports from Google Camera (GCam) exclusive to the Pixel phones.

But the ports are pretty stable since a long time. I use xtreme beta 19 and never had the problem with not saved pictures.

Hey I'm using beta 19 but was wondering does anybody else have issue with low resolution front camera, it's only taking pictures in 1728x2304 which is only 4.0mp, in the older version such as arnova 1.1 that I used to use I would get 12mp
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Yes it's 4mp and it will always be because of oneplus limitations. Front camera resolution will never be more than 4mp. Said so many times here.

It's been said many times that the 12mp of arnova's 1.1 portrait mode was just a software upsampling, not a real 12mp image. It was a 4mp just larger via software upsampling. No more details, just more file size.
[Google Camera Mods] xterminater07:
How do I get my s9+ profile to you? Also did you look at the logcat foe my vivo x20+? Or that phone will not work since camera2api is not enabled?
[Google Camera Mods] morpheus620:
this version has no color tint.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...leCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8Final-test.apk

hdr+ does not work for that :-/
[Google Camera Mods] xterminater07:
Gcam works bc of hdr+... Without it, it is useless.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Did you turn on the Force HDR+ option as mentioned?
[Google Camera Mods] xterminater07:
Funny thing about hdr+ enhanced... It crashed on my s9+ lol. The screen flashed to the tint issue we been having and pretty much made the viewfinder becomes that color and that is it. If you press the shutter again, it takes a photo in normal color but no processing.
[Google Camera Mods] markokrstic0507:
I have active hdr+ but still it wont take pictures outside, image procesing is not finishing
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
It's a specific option in Advanced>Fix Camera2 API.
[Google Camera Mods] markokrstic0507:
This?
[Google Camera Mods] moarfish:
Happy to know that it works on Mi 8
[Google Camera Mods] kottyz:
Yes, and I've done tests but it doesn't make any difference to me outside with that option on or off.. the result is always endless processing (that I can only put in the bin and not even delete)
[Google Camera Mods] markokrstic0507:
Same me
[Google Camera Mods] dgunn:
So I downloaded the camera app and took a few pictures. Every picture I took I had to force close in order to take the next picture. Now all of the pictures I have taken are stuck in my gallery. These photos are not showing up in the folder at all. Yes I have cleared cache of the gallery app, restarted my phone ect ect however these photos remain in my gallery as blank.
[Google Camera Mods] kottyz:
Yes I get the same result with 80% of my shots. What you can do is to install Google photos and move the photos in the bin. I'm sure there is another walkaround from file manager but I'm too lazy to go that way lol
[Google Camera Mods] dgunn:
I have already tried Google photos and still they remain. I've even downloaded other gallery apps and the pictures show in there as well and still do not delete. I cannot remove them in root browser because they are not showing up. I even deleted the thumbnails for the camera and gallery. Been working at this for over an hour now with no solution.
[Google Camera Mods] kottyz:
Did you try to move them to the bin on Google photos and then delete them from there after some hours? That's the only way that works for me. It doesn't work if I try to "delete them from device". The bin step is necessary..
[Google Camera Mods] dgunn:
Yes I did this after you suggested. Still no luck
[Google Camera Mods] ravidevani:
Clear app data and cache.. uninstall and then try to delete from Google photos
[Google Camera Mods] x2damon:
Accurate colors!

Hi All,

Just wanted to share, with the following Manual AWB settings I have been able to get colors on par with the stock camera. Test out and let me know your thoughts .

Red 1.1

Green 0.8 for both

Blue 0.8

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Correction all white photos turn red. Good otherwise so far.
[Google Camera Mods] kottyz:
Yes I experienced the same. If you set good colours for indoor, then you try with bright light and it messes up everything with colours so it's quite difficult to have a good set that works with everything..
[Google Camera Mods] ShepardSR:
The problem is not to find a good configuration of colors ... the objective of the developers is that the same configuration works well inside and outside.

But the quality of the images when the colors are well calibrated is spectacular. I appreciate the work of the developers here.

I will update the album on Flickr with new images.

Sorry for my English

Update with night photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/162885973@N04/albums/72157698025182814/with/29245438098/
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Ok, but how come they did look better, front cam images did look sharper and better in 1.1

Maybe it's not because of resolution and quality had gone down for another reason?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
To be honest I didn't notice any appreciable difference in quality. I liked them before and now.

Keep in mind that 1.1 was a couple of releases ago. Maybe Google changed something. Or libs are different (in the last 10 betas they were updated and modified so many times). Or maybe both reasons.

If you like more 1.1 just use that and swap to beta19 for night mode. Also the tint issue is now fixed.. before it was everything greenish like "the wonderful wizard of Oz" city.

Also 1.1 selfie was soooooo buggy.. I mean crashes were a normal thing. I'd shoot a selfie like 4 or 5 times before having a file saved in my gallery. It was so disappointing. With last betas crashes are an issue no more.
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Yeah I do prefer this version for it's stability and night sight.

Also you did say Marian's was the best XML file and it is pretty good, but I recently downloaded SG-28-2-XTRME20 XML file and they are very alike in colouring but I have to say it is very sharp detail and I prefer it because of this, I tested doing many comparisons and it just comes out sharper every time

Edit : Also since you seem to know a lot about GCam mod I'll just ask you, but is there a way to turn off manual focus in beta 20? I would like to use the manual focus in night sight only as it's hard to auto focus in dark but for daylight shots I'd like to use auto focus. For some reason when I put the meter back to auto it still won't focus for me and was just wondering if you know a way to do this or do we just have to wait for an update to fix this?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Can you share that XML? I'm curious to test it (even if seems to be compatible with beta20).

Keep in mind that Marian XML denoise parameters are set to rear camera only. This means that they just won't affect your selfies in any way (giving you a stock processing).

Another reason that jumps in my mind for the difference in selfies quality could be related to the stability of the app itself. At one point devs understood that front camera crashes was due to RAW_SENSOR setting. Crashes were fixed by automatically swapping to RAW10 when going to front camera.

This means that if you use 1.1 with RAW_SENSOR (I was not) image processing could be different from last betas (using RAW10 on slefies for the sake of stability).

I was using RAW10 with both 1.1 and recent releases, so this could be the reason why I can't honestly notice any appreciable difference with latest versions (automatically using RAW10 for selfies).

Regarding your last question: I had many issues with focussing with beta20 and I just went back to beta19, that could be named as FINAL to me.

Hope this helps

Pink tint on the pictures taken with front camera. Is there a fix or something that I should\ shouldn't do?
[Google Camera Mods] bohemist:
I had a similar problem but was fixed by disabling "Fix Green Ting on Front Camera"

You can find it in Settings / Advanced / Black Level.

It is in the same section with "Max BlackLevel offset".
[Google Camera Mods] Gugus38:
After several tests I find that Xtrem beta 20 works best with the settings attached. Could not manage to get slow motion working with urnyx version.

Slow motion works, motion photo works, everything works and quality is superb.

Capture is instant, when in darker or more complicated situations, enable hdr enhanced to get even more details (but the scene has to be without moving subjects).

So here is my profile for those interested... Did not waste time tweaking noise models tho... Don't know if it's worth the time.

Why don't you just not use the zoom?
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
Because if you press it by mistake, for example while specifying a focus spot, then it'll screw up your resolution without any indication (till you restart the camera process). This happened to me once - I found that a bunch of photos I took eneded up 12 MP.
