[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
I'm actually running 3.0.13 ( should be last version on beta for 6T) and night Scape is noticeably better than any previous version.

I hope that the "new" version is better on normal mode than 3.0.13 because we are really in the mud right now.
[Google Camera Mods] m0rf0:
Well, mid and low light conditions cover 2/3rd of situations. So a camera software that severely underperforms 66,6% of the time is a bit of a joke, I'd say...
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Quick comparison gcam 1.2 final vs stock camera in night mode...
[Google Camera Mods] zevral:
If you would have watched the videos you'd know that the OnePlus performs quite well in those situations, outperforming some of the top devices now and then.

But not always, because it's still not perfect and 100% consistent.

The other phones also have their issues. Pixel often underexposes, especially faces are not always properly exposed. iPhone messes up as well, producing noiser and flat images with poor Whitebalance in some shots. Samsung overexposes quite often and can mess up the colors here and there. None of them are perfect. That's what I am saying. And people seem to love to bash the OnePlus stock camera, but it's not that bad at all. The issues i mentioned are the ones that plague quite a few high end phones, because those are tough conditions and the camera must decide between faster shutter speed or a cleaner image (which might produce blurry subjects, like my cat which just won't stop moving). Same with skin tones in low light. More noise and better details or less noise and less details. There's always a trade off and every phones handles certain situations slightly different. Google is doing great for the most part (apart from crushing shadows and underexposing quite often). Their processing is great, because the stitching together of multiple images works so well that it manages to produce sharp images even when subjects move a bit. They are a bit ahead of everyone else in that department, but as I said the GCam is not perfect.
[Google Camera Mods] m0rf0:
To be fair, I come from using a Pixel 1 camera heavily for the last 2 years so I'm still a bit shocked at the moment. I'm used at being able to shoot and get decent takes under most conditions, but as you say you can't always get it all right (although my old Pixel seems to).

Anyway, the gcam port is quite amazing as far as I can see. If only it stayed as the default app on the double tap power button, haha.
[Google Camera Mods] zevral:
If the HDR+ (not enhanced) shots (too dark and noisy because the shutter speed seems wrong) and the front camera crashes with RAW_Sensor get fixed, it'll be a great alternative, especially because of the night sight mode.
[Google Camera Mods] doc_v15:
It does work as a default on mine bro. You just gotta chose always and pick gcam.
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
Amazing. May I know your settings please ?

Also have you tried the latest stable of Arnova ?
[Google Camera Mods] RASTAVIPER:
No problems with night sight at MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_Final
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
I shared my settings here : https://photos.app.goo.gl/o5qWBxGhBh35e5vx8

I use the final 1.2 of december20, I didn't yet upgrade to another
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
Yes I am using the same. You're using them with Google Libs right ?
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
not necessary, I select a lib according the situation, if I need contrast I use google libs, but if I need neutrality and crisp I select Edszman2 or Savitar on bright light conditions..
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
Okay so for shooting only in low light conditions you recommend Google Libs.
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
I guess that's personal but I find the Google libs do unsharpen the image and do denoise too much. Savitar's doesn't denoise much so that's perfect in strong lights conditions and Eszdman V2 works a treat in most conditions. Night or life light included. Unless I'm fine with having a bit more noise but I want as much detail as possible and use Savitar's.

Si for me it's Eszdman V2 by default, Savitar when it's bright or when I prefer more details to less noise. YMMV...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17pzXuxV41aajHj0QLlN9RkhJn6jobjtf/view?usp=drivesdk

"Arnova8G2 (Morka):

Stable version

Slow Motion now works

Added a toggle to activate Lens Blur by portrait mode"

Really hope he comes back posting here too ;)
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
True, but you can reduce the denoise in the settings, to give a little bit more sharpness with Google libs...
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
[MENTION=9596756]luclepianiste[/MENTION] Shot them with your settings on Google Libs.
[Google Camera Mods] somebob:
This is not stable as MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_Final.apk

It crashes if I tinker with the settings ( this doesn't happen in 1.2 final apk).

By tinkering, I mean the initial adjustments like

1) disabling sound

2) enabling golden ratio

3) increasing final jpg quality to 100

4) in portrait { toggling 'enhanced hdr +', ' remove zoom', ' save to DCIM\Camera ' }

5) toggling maximum brightness

Etc

(And yeah I tried clean install)

:eek: :silly:
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
I'm still testing, but until now no crashes or FC, except front camera. To solve It set Raw10 and It works fine.

And I also changed many settings (denoise, portrait options, libs...) with no problems
[Google Camera Mods] JG:
have you guys tried this one posted a day or 2 ago a page or 2 back??he released it on Telegram.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Mm, so it's quite official, arnova ain't posting here no more. I'd join the telegram channel if only that "Hercules" bot would stop spamming welcome messages all day long.

Ps: just upgraded to 9.0.3.. guess what? The camera version with "improved image processing" is the same I was already using 3.0.13. LMAO. We still in the mud [MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION].

[Google Camera Mods] somebob:
This works like a charm!:D Thank you:good:

Does increasing HDR+ parameter improve the details(clarity\crispiness) or the over all color range or both?

What's your optimum value for taking pics of people?

Logically speakingg, I should keep the frames low since it takes time & any movement might cause blurriness. Yet increasing HDR+ parameters might improve the over all dynamic range. But is it worth the trade though?
[Google Camera Mods] ace0603:
Confirmed

Confirmed working on Moto X4 unlocked. Also reconfirm latest build works on Essential phone.

No miraculous imho... Processing is very different in night mode, all pics are blur-shaked...

Update 9.0.3 for op6, don't expect miraculous improvement, nightscape is henceforth unusable without tripod, and nothing change about texture, same problem of oversharpening and oily effect... It's a pity, contrast is good, vibrant warm colours, flattering appearence, but destroying processing...

Gcam port is essential in op6.

Can someone please recommend a GCam that doesn't have this issue on the Oneplus 6? Or maybe a fix. Thanks in advance.

So my GCAM on OP6 seems to have quite bad dynamic range... If I focus one darker object, it completely blows the sky. This does not happen in Oxygen OS camera.

[Google Camera Mods] Only399:
Would someone explain why the camera zooms in in portrait mode, regardless if I'm using the back or front facing camera? This didn't happen in the previous version that I was using. Is this intended? If so, why? I lost quite a lot of FOV.

There is a specific option for this.

Guys did anyone experianced portrait mode disappearing? I'm using the latest gcam build from Dec 20, 2018 on op6 android pie. I think this is what I was doing when it happended.

Going back to take some more pics thats when I saw that portrait mode is not shown.

To bring portrait back I had to clear the app from recently used apps.

Hey everyone,

I'm using the latest release (MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d+_TlnNeun.apk) with the suggested configs for OP6T. It has been working great but even with said configs I'm still getting a lot of noise on shadowy conditions. Has anyone noticed the same?

Thank you to all the devs for the effort!
[Google Camera Mods] gorman42:
I post here because the arnova thread is a mess of people asking where to find the configuration folder (which you need to create...).

I'm using MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d+_TlnNeun.apk with the OP6T.xml configuration file that was first shared on Telegram (now linked in the arnova discussion).

Could somebody be kind enough to clarify what these functions do and how to activate them?

- Motion photo :

This I understand it creates some sort of sequence of photos, similar to a GIF. If I activate "Motion" function in advanced settings the control appears in the viewfinder but is greyed out and I can't select it. A blue toast appears with "motion is enabled", then I activate the shutter and there's a lag... then a single picture is taken. Sooo... I need some explanation here.

- Top Shot :

--- Back : Works on custom rom with GooglePhotos (Daydream) ( Oreo /Pie )

--- Front : Works with GooglePhotos (Daydream) ( Oreo /Pie )

I'm not rooted, so I guess I'm out of luck with this one, right?

- Face retouching : Works ( Oreo /Pie )

Can't see how to activate this or what it's supposed to do.

- Motion Auto Focus : Works ( Pie )

Should this activate automatically? Earlier I was in a restaurant and I was using a previous version of the app (1.2 something), motion auto focus activated on her face, from the rear camera. Now with this new version I wonder if I need to be doing something in order to have it work or if it's automatic.

- Super Res Zoom : Works ( Oreo /Pie )

How do I access/activate this? What is it?

- Slow motion : Works on some device. ( Oreo /Pie )

The shared config file has this deactivated, I activated it in settings and it seems to work. Don't know why it was deactivated.

Portrait/Lens Blur

Do I get it correctly that Portrait works only on faces and Lens Blur on any subject? Any reason to use Portrait? Does it provide better results with people?

Edit - Forgot about this: since back camera on OP6T has 16MP is there any way to save pictures with full resolution? In settings I see options up to 12MP.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
1 ) Motion photo

Normally it is not compatible with Snapdragon 845, but I use a hack to make it work ( force use on ) and this causes a closing bug on the front camera.

2 ) Top Shot

Works if "motion" function is enabled

3) Motion Auto Focus

same bug as photo motion, Works if "motion" function is enabled

3) Super Res Zoom

Works well, just zoom in

4) Portrait/Lens Blur

> Any reason to use Portrait ? Yes it is better, even when you move compared to the lens blur

> Does it provide better results with people ? Do the test, but the use is a little weird (lens blur is the father of portrait mode)

the maximum resolution compatible with gcam is 4000x3000, Gcam mod uses the resolution of the raw format 4656x3496
