Actually not. They explained to me that some kind of oversampling occurs making the 12mpx image not better than the 4mpx, just bigger.

I'm not sure how this can be possible since if I have the SAME quality on a much larger surface this means more pixel per Inc.

I asked a couple of times to clarify this point. I'm very interested in this. Tks in advance

FYI, OOS camera was updated to v3 (3.0.6 atm)

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera/

Will do some tests to check for improvements.

EDIT: Nope, still this **** painting effect on portrait and much much less details in general than gcam... did not notice anything different

Dear [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION],

As mentioned in the previous posts, Motion is causing problems in the latest version (GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk). Attached are two logs taken by adb commands.

The first log is created when I opened a motion photo (taken by GCam 1.3) in google photos and then google photos crashed.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W86-L1QE4OKoll7OBdVoO0zjm9atjxLy

The second log is created when I opened GCam 1.3, took a motion photo, opened it in google photos, and then crashed.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1m5_zQKkIrzIIKT0hxR0gu1f8Ow8HtmZg

There was only one time that GCam stuck at "processing hdr+", but I did not catch the log.

Thank you very much for your time and efforts on porting GCam to OP6. I hope the logs can help.

Device: OnePlus 6 A6003 (6GB, 64GB), OOS 9.0.2
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
i myself compared the images and i found the 12mp photo to be much better.
[Google Camera Mods] trinianouk:
Ok so I'm not alone, was beginning to think I have the OP6 out there that these Gcam apks don't work....So many others having no problems, and taking wonderful looking pictures.

I'll continue to monitor this thread asthe developers continue to release updates. Thanks for your reply and thanks to [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] for all the hard work :good:

Cheers!

Here a little comparison between night modes and txt detection at approx 1mt distance. The room was quite dark, I couldn't read anything with just my eyes.

In the "all work and no play" sheet the numbers indicates the font size (from 24 to 9).

Please do not take in consideration the yellowish tint since street lights here are actually that color here.

1 - stock camera 3.0.6 (just released)

2 - Gcam 1.1_build.6.1.013

3 - Gcam 1.3_build.6.1.021

HERE the HD images

I feel like Gcam 1.1_build.6.1.013 wins with no doubt this one, but I really wish you guys to share what do you think. Tks in advance.

Hope this hepls

EDIT: cannot understand why drive folder doesen't shows the images inside. - LINK FIXED.

LMAO if I grant the persmissions to the folder BEFORE I upload the files THEN I'll need to grant the persmissions for EACH file ONE by ONE. what a troll.
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
Sadly, no Gcam mod seem to work with Android Wear. Even when you have a Gcam mod on a Pixel phone it always opens the stock Gcam app instead.
[Google Camera Mods] milav:
Damm just got new fossil and i cant even use it as camera shutter. Good going wear os.....
[Google Camera Mods] ReynaldoH:
I just installed Pixel Experience coming from OSS Beta 7. Works great. Give me a shout if you need anything.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I honestly can't really tell much difference between both GCam shots.

Downloaded both and compared them at full crop.

Any differences might be due to a slight shift in focus.

Exif data is also nearly identical.

Stock loses big time though (it is not too bad though, but I noticed no improvement with the latest APK).

Thanks for your comparison!
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
And also the 1.3 uses resampling, I want to disable resampling, but I'm looking for the zoom code for if we use it we activate resampling...
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Wow, I did not even check the resolution. You are right. 16 vs 12 MP!

I think once we get the motion metering toggle, resampling option and further options,

the latest version will be a beast.

Questions to you:

Does motion metering also affect focus performance?

As you fixed the hue in 1.3 stable, is it also connected to motion metering?

Edit: good luck with the zooming / resampling code! Fingers crossed.

Thanks for all your efforts and work you put in!
[Google Camera Mods] rech509:
I didnt quite understand , so you mean without resampling ( using 12mp ) is better than 16 mp in terms of quality?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
don't know.. the spreadsheet is almost impossible to read with 1.3, while i can distringuish all the bold lines in 1.1 version.

op cam seems slightly better than before but there's still no game with gcam.

EDIT: also, if you look at the borders/edges of the sheets and at the shadows there's a big difference to me.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
No, I meant that both GCam shots in the comparison on the previous page are nearly identical,

even though the latest GCam currently only uses 12 MP due to enabled resampling.

Read again...

Sorry, but I can't confirm this at all. The difference you see is the difference in resolution.

I fully zoomed in at the same position, took screenshots of both, switching between them back and forth.

One is slightly bigger due to the 16 MP, but I can read both the same.
[Google Camera Mods] rech509:
Yeah i get it now thanks ! :)
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
This happened to me trying to look and zoom in the pictures using the Drive link.

Then I downloaded the files, opening them in Photos I found no such big differences between the two gcam shots, just like said [MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION].

But I agree with you on stock shot, too blurry
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
you welcame man, I asked to you because I care about your thoughts.

I downloaded the images in my PC (where I am right now) and the comparison via PC shows quite substancial differences IMHO.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing with you, just sharing some thoughts.

Peace

EDIT: [MENTION=5646088]PiraTan[/MENTION] I'm actually using drive, let me try to browse them with photoshop. tks a lot

EDIT2: [MENTION=5646088]PiraTan[/MENTION] [MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] did the comparison through photoshop on my PC, sorry but I can notice substancial differences as I said before. To me 1.1 is still superior (and I would say that's completely normal because of resampling, as [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] just said).
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Thanks for the praise, I can only return it.

So you triggered me, I fired up my PC and checked the shots again.

I still stay with my initial verdict.

In fact: I took the v1.1 16 MP shot and resized it to 12 MP with irfan view (best possible compression settings).

There is basically no difference at all to the v1.3 shot.

Even without resizing them, I can read both shots as good or as bad.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
I just made the comparison with files as they are, no resize. Dunno if this changes things.
[Google Camera Mods] wicked245:
delete..
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Which tool are you using to check the shots on your PC? Windows 10 Photos app? If yes, it is known to screw with picture quality.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...somewhat/29b79fea-889b-48e4-8368-1a2d2922dd0c

As I also said, I checked them without any resizing too at full crop.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
--- Does motion metering also affect focus performance?

Yes, by disabling it, what happens in your video no longer does.

--- As you fixed the hue in 1.3 stable, is it also connected to motion metering?

No, it's related to black level
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
Yes, it is annoying but the Android Wear app is linked specifically to Gcam. On Pixel 2, when I start a Gcam mod and try to connect with my watch it loads the stock Gcam app instantly. And when I switch back to Gcam mod the connection to the watch is lost.

Guess the Android Wear app has to be modded as well, and it probably has to be modded for the specific Gcam mod.

I wouldn’t think a simple app could make such a difference about final photo quality. It’s amazing and makes OP6 so much better in this domain. God bless you guys to bring this to us.
[Google Camera Mods] fred_gaou:
I confirm this is frustrating and OnePlus team needs to get pushed to solve it.
[Google Camera Mods] Tanzia:
Photos won't be saved while if the HDR+ is under processing. And HDR+ processing takes very long time...
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
That's when the app has crashed... The computations for HDR+ shouldn't take more than 5s. If they do, that means the app is bugging, Force stop it and then try again, all should be fine and the processing time should be not too long (and the picture is actually or less saved even before the calculations are done!)

i don't know who uploaded this version to the op6t forum, but in this version topshot works for both cameras on open beta 7.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk

only thing not working are best photo suggestions.

it would be interesting to see why and how to port it to latest versions, just for you to know.
[Google Camera Mods] GeminiDude:
OnePlus 6, OB7. Installed latest port, face lighting in night mode doesn't work and causes app to crash. Photobooth doesn't work, and of course slow motion doesn't work either.

[Google Camera Mods] nikola1970:
Quoting myself here...
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
i see.. good to know, this is the second version they upload claiming to be an update..

so should changelog include that topshot works on back cam? i'm going to install and compare this two versions but if md5 is the same the files should be identical. will report in a few minutes to confirm this

EDIT: uninstalled and installed arnovas original version. topshot FULLY functional on both cameras. suggestions and all
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
i installed arnova's latest 1.3 and also installed google photos daydream but for me only the front camera topshot is working. can you tell me the step by step process of what have you done?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
HERE I am. I'm on MacBook pro, osx10.8.5, Photoshop CS5.

HERE the comparison made with cs5. Jpg quality set to maximum.

I have to say that with cs5 differences are not so big. Please let me know your thoughts about this. Tks

Hope this helps.
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
sure thing. i cleared cache and uninstalled ALL (all gcam versions and google photos app)

then installed idans and arnova latest version with miniuser settings. (i use this as regular cam, i really like the tweaks and resampling options)

then i installed daydream google photos app. daydream app, and vr services app and set up everything.

then i installed latest arnova gcam app

at this point. topshot still didnt work on back cam.

wiped cache and uninstalled arnovas latest gcam

then i installed the supossedly latest "update" from 6t forums wich another user sais is exaclty the same app checked with md5.

now it did worked! but with no best photo suggestions

uninstalled this version (forgot to clear cache) and installed back arnovas latest.

everything works as regards topshot on both cameras and photo sugestions

hey its all good, no hard feelings and deleted my post as well. i am actually with you on that. i don't see how this procedure can possibly work and there is probably a good explanation that in between all of the apps version installs posted above, something made it work. (i dont know where the other app came from but another user checked via md5 and confirmed that are the same) it looks like it started to work for other users too so we will figure this out. right now i am still with arnova and idans app for main camera (i like the nightmode, 16.3mp, sharpness, resamplers and tweaks) and the latest arnova app for topshot on both cameras mainly.

I can add a 4K resolution, To make the test

It's the same as pixel 3 but it uses 4K, I didn't add this resolution because motion photo is not yet stable

sure that would be great! i am willing to test it if you want.

[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
Updated to that version and now topshot also works on arnova and idans app! i am attaching a video here:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/VdEi9EDKG1QwZAEw9

As you can see in the video, changing motion photo resolution actually works so probably 4k may work if the resolution is added. i'll be happy to test this in future versions.

EDIT: The video was taken with resampling on, so thats why 12mpx photos. Tested it too at full 16.3MPx and also works
[Google Camera Mods] dragos281993:

[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
i haven't test it a lot but i think that even if you choose 60 fps, the video recorded is not. other users had reported the same.

sure, here you go: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/....1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan-Advances+.apk
[Google Camera Mods] sanderbos:
I was experimenting a bit with the topshot/ motion on stuff, when I also ran into this continuous hdr processing issue and unable to take further shots. So depending on what you want it appears you can try:

- Using MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan-Advances+.apk from the celsoazevedo link in the first page of the discussion instead, in that one motion on works (for me) without any further supporting apps installed.

- Continue to use GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk, but without motion on. So stop the app, clear cache and data for the app, reboot, and make sure you turn off motion on (from the top buttons in the camera app) before taking a shot.

- If I understand the discussion correctly, you can also use GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk with motion on, as long as you also install all the daydream related stuff that is discussed in other recent comments.

I am personally not yet willing to go through all the daydream hoops, and I think as long as you do not do that it makes no sense to have motion on since then you cannot pick the top shot anyway. But then you (well, that is what I found) still have to 'reset' the 1.3_6.1.021 cache and storage and then turn off motion on before you can take pictures.
[Google Camera Mods] Vuska:
sorry for noob question...

what is actually do?

i mean, that daydream... what i can do with that app?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Very interesting. Overall which one you'd suggest? I mean as stability for everyday using.

Tks a lot
[Google Camera Mods] sanderbos:
You can install GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk and MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan-Advances+.apk both at the same time!

And this is what I have done (renamed them both in my (Nova) launcher). I now use Pixel3Mod 1.3 as my default pick, have set up MGC with some special options (it has advanced settings, for higher jpeg quality for instance), and still use the OnePlus when I want sharpening or burst mode (since I do not want to go through the daydream route for top shot).

Other people have said that the .013 releases have better pictures than the .021 release, but I personally do not see that difference. And the .021 is easier on CPU (time for shot, and battery/ warmth).
[Google Camera Mods] dgunn:
What is that mini settings thing you were talking about???
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
there are two menus added for front and back camera by miniuser123. They allow to tweak fine parameters of the cameras such as denoise on diferent enviroments. i can't provide you much more info about this settings because i couldn't find more info about what thing does on which circumstances. but on that version of gcam you can calibrate other things such as saturation parameters, Autoexpusure, resampling and final jpeg quality that makes the difference
[Google Camera Mods] dgunn:
Link to this please?
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
I went so far as to say that the use of 4k records an image in high resolution is not the case.

Motion photo works in 4k but it is Gphoto who records the recommended capture in 3.1Mpx.

I will share a more stable version than the previous version, Now the resolution is 16.3Mpx and in zoom mode we use raised 12Mpx.

I am preparing to send this version
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Great news. Thanks for all!

I think the Verge said in their Pixel 3 review that top shot frames are limited to 3MP on the Pixel 3 (XL) by design.

So that's probably only so much you can do without additionally modifying GPhotos.

Edit:

https://9to5google.com/2018/10/18/pixel-3-top-shot-photo-resolution/
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
great! is there any chance that we get it with autoexposure and saturation tweaks enabled like some previous version you posted before? i found very useful to change some minimal values here and there from that options in the past version, improved the picture quality a notch even further in my opinion.

thanks for all the hard work!
