[Google Camera Mods] panthimanshu:
Your message brought back all our hopes.... I wish you are perfectly alright. Respect brother.
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
just tried 6.1.013. There's no white balance issue in nightmode i guess. there are some bugs i found in that version.

1)hdr+ in both front and rear camera doesn't work after we take 7-8 photos in hdr+

2)sometimes hdr+ enhanced and night sight in rear camera doesn't take photos. doesn't complete the circle.this happened 1/10 times.

3)front camera randomly crashes.

4) mobile heats up quite soon. mine heated up after clicking 3-4 night sight photos.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] please try 6.1.013 and see if you can find the same bugs.
[Google Camera Mods] dante_nfs:
Mate. It's good to see you back. But in app section of andorid which user can see version number of app. It still shows 1.1, is it just me. Or it's just a typo. (for 6.1.13 version)
[Google Camera Mods] xgunax:
Thank you God Arnova
[Google Camera Mods] Urnyx05:
Thank you as usual for your hard work. Could you try to port Antibanding mode on the Tolyan-and-Idan based version, please? It was ported by Miniuser for the first time

GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3beta_build.6.1.0210 no photobooth for me. edit:I managed to make it work by reinstalling the apk and restarting the phone several times.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3beta_build.6.1.0210 crashed at the beginning then it got a little more stable. Photoboth is working fine.
[Google Camera Mods] Kaushikpatowari:
Hi all..this might be obvious to a lot of you..but help a brother out..

So m currently on the original nightsight version released a couple of weeks ago I guess .If I need to update..do I have to find every beta version step by step or I can directly jump to the latest version..also is the new version better in terms of night shots compared to the original 1..I have read front cam isn't working but I have the Gcam 5.3 installed too(which does crash often on front cam but does the job for me).

Thanks in advance :)
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] tks so much. Seems incredible but I jumped here today for asking if everything was ok with you and BOOM! Got your amazing post full of news.

Hope everything is ok mate. Peace.
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
Just install the latest one.

If anything weird happens, uninstall all gcam and then reinstall the latest.

[Google Camera Mods] Tomatot-:
Wow man thank you so much, what a great news. It's 1:23am here and you already made my day! :D No matters I didn't read any feedback yet, it's great to hear you're working hard for us. Cheers.: highfive:
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
You need to unistall every previous version before installing the new one. Crashes you are experiencing could be highly related to the fact that you have multiple versions of the same app installed in your device.

Remember, unistalling previous versions is not enough. After unistalling the previous versions and installing the version you want to run, You have to clear cash and app data (of the Gcam just installed) and reboot your device.
[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
Working for me fine!
[Google Camera Mods] mullemulle86:
Thank you very much for your great work!

I tested the 1.3beta on my 6T

These are the things I noticed:

-Motion is not working

-Photos with deactivated HDR are not working

-Rear Camera shoots in 12 Megapixel

-Front Camera shoots in 4 Megapixel

-Picture Preview is working great (no switching to Photos App anymore)

Do you need some Logs or something else I can help?
[Google Camera Mods] Dele Petco:
Comparing the night sight between the two new versions

Pic is from GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3beta_build.6.1.0210

I can see that the 6.1.0210 version has bluish green tinting but it also takes the shot all the unlike the 6.1.013 version which has that 1/4 circle bug
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I can confirm that both 6.1.013 versions still have the circle animation issue where shots are not taken quite often.

This seems to be fixed with 1.3 Beta.

This alone makes 1.3 Beta the better version in my opinion as it is more reliable.

What needs improvement in 1.3 Beta is the blue/green tint in shadows/lowlight/night sight.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
>-Motion is not working

Works but Gphoto is disable in this version, I would activate it in the next release

-Photos with deactivated HDR are not working

Does not work since version 5.1

-Rear Camera shoots in 12 Megapixel

I would add Resampling to use the maximum resolution

-Front Camera shoots in 4 Megapixel

For the HDR+ (RAW) is the maximum resolution

Yes the night mode is awful, there are a lot of new code compared to 6.1.013
[Google Camera Mods] riffmachine93:
I'm. Sorry but which one should I install in the above links?
[Google Camera Mods] joshdigit:
Thanks! You are awesome!
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
thanks arnova! the op6 camera quality has been hugely improved with the latest version of gcam. Super res zoom is amazing now, Photobooth works great and i love all the extra tweaks now available.

i have only 2 doubts regarding features.

1. Has anyone managed to make topshot work with back camera without crashing the

daydream google photos app?

i know it works on pixel experience roms and i dont want to leave OOS. perhaps there is a fix i can try and report results if anyone knows. im currently on ob7 root and magisk. front camera topshot works great. back camera seems to take motion photos just nice but galery crashes when tries to load pic details or the motion photo itself (i know this was mentioned on previous posts)

2. is burst camera gone for good? i found myself using this feature too and kinda overlaps with topshot feature as well. im still trying to find a way to get this two features somehow but latest gcam port is too awesome to replace with an old version.

EDIT: super res zoom works when you use resampling and results are very good but leaving it on also limits all photos to 12mp. turning resampling off gives you 16.3 mpx
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3beta_build.6.1.0210 and GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.2beta_build.6.1.013 are similar to the google version

MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4 is a version with more parameters.

Otherwise they work on OP6
[Google Camera Mods] Dele Petco:
Again I'm a million times thankful for what you've done with the camera, I appreciate your work and I hope my feedback has been even the slightest helpful to your work
[Google Camera Mods] DarKAngel1234:
MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan-Advances+.apk

seems to be producing some very nice shots, and they are 16MP as well, and not overly compressed as you can adjust this, which is nice.
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
nd hdr+ issue? is hdr+ working for you after taking 6-8 photos?
[Google Camera Mods] hartleyshc:
Tested 1.2beta on 6T

Motion is working.

HDR off isn't working (didn't in previous versions either)

Rear shoots in 16.3mp

Front shoots in 4mp

Picture preview working fine also.

Cross posting this info in the 6t thread.
[Google Camera Mods] pretender17:
Any recommended settings or just sticking with default? Can you share your settings?

Thanks!
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
If I can help with logs please tell me the version you need me to test first. I have a couple of hours to dedicate to the cause.

Cheers man
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Didn't test this and am already back on beta 1.3.

I've been switching between these versions a couple times by now and won't do once more.

I really think improving this version is the right way.

Working on multiple versions will probably delay all of them.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

Could you please provide different package names for different Gcam versions in future releases?

Makes it much easier and quicker to compare them in the same situations

App cloner is telling me it can't clone Google apks.

Thank you!

Edit: selfies seem much more stable on beta 1.3.

Not a single crash yet and I have been literally hammering the shutter button 20+ times in a row.

In comparison 1.5 Beta2 (Gcam 5.3) crashed right at the second attempt in the same high contrast situation.

Will keep you updated on this.
[Google Camera Mods] se7ensde:

[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
hey, i am sorry but in my case beta 1.3 is not so stable as compared to beta 1.2. following are the problems i faced with beta 1.3

1)sometimes the shutter button doesn't work and viewfinder hangs. happens in both the hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced cases.

2) viewfinder is lagging sometimes.

3) front camera is more stable than that of beta 1.2 but it has the problem of shutter button not working after some clicks in hdr+. it never crashes atleast

4) after taking 11-12 clicks, the processing circle never disappears in front camera hdr+ enhanced.

5)I found the portrait mode to be very stable. took a lot of photos and never faced any problem.

[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] please confirm if you're facing these problems or not.

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

@Arnova8G2

in beta 1.3, portrait mode is very stable. No problems there. Hope this observation will be useful to figure out the bug in normal mode.
[Google Camera Mods] prasanth_sharkzzz:
Wow great

I miss u Soo badly
[Google Camera Mods] kryshnakishore:
on latest beta 3 version, seem to be very stable.

1. pls improve flash brightness

2. update AR Stickers.

stock VS Gcam in full dark room
[Google Camera Mods] knox58:
Im also having the same problem in 1.3..(night mode photobooth stays black)

1.2 works fine..front potrait Selfie doesn't work force closes

Note : im using pixel experience rom latest build 15-11
[Google Camera Mods] alexferdean:
I didn't see this in the changelog. Does superzoom work now?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
So most of your points are actually in favor of beta 1.3. (3, 4, 5)

What I actually see is you overdoing it big time, trying to take loads of shots at once. You know that the phone also needs time processing them, which eventually WILL pile up as can be seen in your results!?!

Of course the viewfinder starts lagging if you force the app to process multiple shots in the background up to the point were it won't let you even take shots anymore.

HDR+ relies on multiple frames being processed, you are basically filling up its "cache" with the way you use it. Especially in low light this might happen even quicker.

That said, I do not have most of your "issues". I get a slight lag sometimes in the viewfinder, but nothing which would break the app for me.

I know it is always good to get a second person confirming certain issues, but I won't be sitting here taking multiple shots just to "break" the app on purpose.

I did so once for the selfie camera before I posted the info, but that was just to stress-test it. No crashes whatsoever.

From what I see in your post, the app is actually REALLY stable as it appears it did not even force close once for you.

I stand to my opinion that beta 1.3 is the most stable version so far. Takes EVERY shot and doesn't crash on selfies anymore (fingers crossed).

The only "issue" is the blue/green tint.

Thanks [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]!

edit: after re-reading my post, I actually sound pretty rude. I really mean no offense towards you.

Probably phrased it that way because I'm hungry. Sorry^^
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
So, for you 1.3 is the one to go. anyone gave a try on the MGC mod?
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] , I think I found the bug of this green tint. SENSOR_INFO_WHITE_LEVEL is missing

I did a test with the TlnNeun version by activating "minimal smoothing", I reproduced the same thing in night mode.
[Google Camera Mods] AzzyC:
Hi I'm on a GSI on S9, trying to run your v0.4. I'm getting FC upon opening app (Log attached) Happy to test any available apks ?
[Google Camera Mods] se7ensde:
hardly anything works for me on 1.3 beta. I find mgc to be the best option

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

photo booth works on 1.2 for you?
[Google Camera Mods] I_m_animesh:
Did u got playground access
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
well, the shutter button doesn't work and viewfinder lags even when i click 2-3 photos, sometimes even one. so that's not clearly overusing it i guess. viewfinder lags sometimes just after opening the app. It's strange that I am the only one having those problems. if there is anyone else facing these problems, please do let me know.
[Google Camera Mods] zevral:
Tested 1.3 a bit.

HDR enhanced is still too dark in low light, when using TinNeun+IDan with +0.2 exposure it's better.

Here is a comparison of stock, HDR enhanced and night sight (both on 1.3)

The brightest is night sight, the darkest is HDR enhanced
[Google Camera Mods] mystertom:
1.3 beta keeps either crashing or giving me black viewfinder
[Google Camera Mods] Ceramictortoise:
I tested version 1.3 too. Viewfinder freezed after 5-8 seconds and crashed shortly after. However, version 1.2 does not seem to have this problem
[Google Camera Mods] mystertom:
The brighter image is night mode on version GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013. this version so far for me has been the best

[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Anyone else notice that 1.3 night sight is a lot worse quality?

1.2 is working great for me but not 1.3

I also notice that in 1.2 and 1.3 night sight shadows are a little less contrasted making pictures looks a little more fake when compared to 1.1.

The pictures just look a little more dull. I've reverted back to 1.1 for this reason
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Testing 1.3, until now no crashes, no fc. Everyth9ng seems very stable, selfies, portrait and photobooth.

Need more tests for night sight to say of it's better or worse than before.

EDIT: zsl on (Hdr+) workshop only with motion off, otherwise shutt3r button turba to grey.

Besides Hdr+ enhanced (that i always use) works great.

OP6, OOS 9.0.2, unlocked, unrooted.
[Google Camera Mods] raul-_-flores:
Having the same problem here on OP6
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I know this doesn't help, but I can reliably take multiple shots in a row with HDR+, enhanced HDR+ and Night Sight on my OP6 (beta 1.3 with Open Beta 7) without anything breaking.

No crashes or black screens in good and bad lighting on front and back camera.

Yes, I also encountered a spinning circle a few times after taking a multitude of selfies for testing purposes, but I actually prefer this instead of a randomly crashing camera at any moment with lost photos.

Of course the other versions don't have the tint issue (although whitebalance is still wrong on them in night sight) and I personally still keep GCam 5.3 (1.5 Beta 2) on my device,

but every version available has the circle animation stop issue. This is only fixed on Beta 1.3 and BSGs version.

I had many occasions were GCam would not take a shot due to this bug, no matter how much I tried.

So seeing this fixed is gold.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

Motion focus is not working on Beta 1.3.

You click on Photobooth when selecting modes.

Ok. Thankd
[Google Camera Mods] markdulce:
I have detected that in photobooth the camera application is blocked in 16: 9 formats.
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Really do you not find any issue, on gcam 1.3 beta, with zsl mode and motion Active? I've tried to uninstall and re-install, wiping data and cache, but It often freezes viewfinder and doesn't shot!

In MSG version this doesn't happening but It Is more unstable, expecially front cam.

So i switched back to 1.3 using only Hdr+ enhanced
[Google Camera Mods] meiax93:
For me, everything works, except Motion and Slow-motion . :D
[Google Camera Mods] silencermuto:
Op6OB7 using 1.3Beta.

after first shot the snap button freeze. front and back the same problem happen. gallery just black. that few problem i face . Anyway i appreciate the work you do. keep up your good work. I'm going to use 1.1 until new update.

new update: i try uninstall and reinstall and the camera function as normal no more problem with snap button and gallery. Going to continue using 1.3. im sorry for my post.
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
1.3 is good with everything except night sight quality is worse than 1.2. Has anybody else noticed this? Test in a really dark area, it's got a blueish tint and not as good quality especially around the blacks
[Google Camera Mods] Ens0:
Agreed that 1.3 is pretty reliable so far. no crashes on back and front camera for me either on ob7. Only issue is the spinning circle after few shots but it's gone after switching modes (temporary fix after few shots). Night mode is stable too but quality is okay as Arnova mentioned.

MSG version is kind of good too crashed front camera once, sometimes it has that 1/4 shutter bug and if you set HDR to higher than 9 frames camera won't start. It seems quality is better in low light but a lot of noise which I still need to play around in miniuser settings.
[Google Camera Mods] boobathi07:
Beta 1.3 doesn't have the 1/4 circle bug in night sight as well as in selfies. I can confirm it has been the most stable of all versions till now. Tint issues have been there. But developing this further is the right way to go.

Problems I have noted so far (all in night sight)

1. Tint issue

2. Viewfinder is a lot darker in night sight, hence focusing is difficult in night sight

3. Auto pop up for suggesting night sight isn't working

4. Lot of noise.

Edit : the auto pop up is working for front cam. Not working on back cam though.

All on OP6 OOS stable.
[Google Camera Mods] socom67:
Version 13:

Photo booth is force closing on my OP6....non rooted Oxygen 9.0.2
[Google Camera Mods] hasan4791:
It would be great along with test results kindly mention the rom version. OOS Stable or OB... Coz ppl who are in stable are having problems.
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
I noticed the same thing ✌️
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
Nope.

Stable OOS 9.02 here and all is fine (for betas, that is)

I find that MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan-Advances+ give the best all round performance, night mode works well, portrait as well, motion and photobooth too...

Sure there are few rare occasions where either the app crashes or no photo is taken but these are really rare,

You guys really need to read the entire posts by [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] . He clearly stated that he knows of the issue and is working on it. I'll highlight it for you and put it in RED
[Google Camera Mods] megahead34:
What do you mean you uninstall and reinstall? Did you have to do anything else? I noticed the same thing, camera snap button not always working.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
to be honest I'm on 1.1 and after more than 10 days of intense using I have NEVER had the "circle animation stop" issue. Never.

Yes it's pretty unstable and lost photos are WAY more than any other version I have tryed, BUT no such a issue so far.

Totally agree with this. At least put it into your signature.

Man, this was really a golden post. KUDOS.
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
that was an old post, been updated on the issue many times since then, but thanks for your red highlight...
[Google Camera Mods] panthimanshu:
Hello Mates,

I can confirm [MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] explanation. To confirm here's the test scenario:

I turned on HDR+ Enhanced, stood in bright daylight and started shooting portrait one by one. After few shoots shutter got grey... but it got activated again in a second or two. I again clicked multiple portrait shoots and as shutter turned grey I jumped to gallery. I noticed out of 16 pictures there were only 7 pictures in the gallery and as I was wondering if image disappearing issue is back, I noticed one pic appeared, then another and finally all 16 pictures appeared.

So this is true... it take time to process image in background before they got saved in the gallery. So certainly multiple random shots might consume all the available cache which ultimately halt the system until cache is freed with some space which appears to us as a lag. I think 1.3 beta is the right version to proceed with the development although MGC version have lots of settings which I didn't get time to test.

I still feel images are not enough sharp and dark in shade/shadow in 1.3 beta. Please check and confirm, if it is happening with me only.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
To be honest, if you go to page 464, the first quote to arnova message already got this issue as bottom line. plus no edits from arnova to the original post so far.

not to be harsh but I just double checked because It was something I remembered to have read yesterday (It's the feature I'm interested in most). :)
[Google Camera Mods] DetectiveVinc:
I tested both of the new versions...

The 1.2 heats up my phone, the 1.3 not as bad atleast...

Photos from the 1.3 also are definitely much more detailed and are better processed, especially when using nightsight in "not completely dark" scenarios, it brings a lot more detail to the table than 1.2

In completely dark scenes with some lightspots however it really crushes the shadows down to pitchblack...

That can look cool, but id rather have more detail in the shadows and if even do that by my self in post...

Good work so far!!!
