[Google Camera Mods] RusherDude:
I agree with everything, but even as a showoff its a good feature to have for rare occations.

I dont have the images (was a live test just checking on the screen, no more was needed..), but the next time I have the chance I will do tests with him and get the images from both phones.

How is Oneplus so bad at this, that even the MIUI lite version of the phocophone presumably does this better? (gcam appeared much faster for it if I don't remember bad so these issues were probably not found before?). It really sucks to offer a poor API. However, how come apps using the Camera2API such as Manual Camera manage to, at least visually, offer all the stuff if there is issues with the API?
[Google Camera Mods] RubenMMS2:
Oneplus 6 do not have camera2api??

It has Raw... so it must have camara2api...
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Nobody said that, please read more carefully. It is their implementation which is lacking,

which was already the case back on the OnePlus 3 (or maybe even OP2?).

Also on a side-note: The OnePlus One did NOT support the camera2api, but was still capable of shooting raw.
[Google Camera Mods] RubenMMS2:
Ok sorry did not know that.
[Google Camera Mods] Nihal @A-JAX:
Poco F1 has same main sensor as that of Pixel 3 but aperture is slightly narrower at 1.9f. It's sensor itself gives advantages at very low lights as individual pixel size is 1.4um (OP6 - 1.22um) and it has dual pixel PDAF for better focusing.

Infact OnePlus could have atleast upgraded to this latest Sony sensor on OP6T. But they didn't.....
[Google Camera Mods] mosec:
Is it possible to make Google Camera the default camera so I can launch it double pressing the power button?
[Google Camera Mods] RusherDude:
On the OP6, you can set google camera as the default camera on settings (applications -> default apps -> camera default app). Not sure if it launches with double power hit tho, it should!
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
Hi guys. Here is a little game for you guys. This is a comparison between the OnePlus cam and gcam. Which one do you think is sharper or just better over all. Bare in mind it's different scenes in each photo so try take that into consideration. I won't tell you which one its which. See if you can tell. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

Let's call the pink flower picture A and the dried up Dandelion pod picture B.

▪️

〰️ OnePlus cam 2.10.11 I think. The one from beta 6 or 7.

▪️*MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan.apk

▪️12x macro apexel lens.

UPDATE:

PS: THIS IS NOT FOR THANKS. DONT YOU DARE THANK ME!...
[Google Camera Mods] crixley:
Not to be an ahole but i kinda feel like you're posting for thanks at this point. There is a dedicated photography thread you know
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Ok, I'm a bit confused. I'm on 1.1 (most stable to me so far) and I want to get the advantage of ZSL. How should I set HDR? Just HDR+?

I dunno even if ZSL works with my version because it seems not to me.

Please help me to understand this.

Tks a lot.

Ps I read all the pages till the last post but no direct mention to my app version. Tks a lot again.

M
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
no problem, didnt know people felt that way, thought i was helping. maybe i stop helping then, dont want to come across like im only doing this for thanks, (because a virtual thanks means so much ) :D . i was under the impression people needed these. as i was trying to help where ever i can. i have the same phone. so obviously any break throughs that happen here benefit me as well. because i get to use the apk.

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

I think i fixed it. post updated.
[Google Camera Mods] crixley:
The pictures are great don't get me wrong at all. I just don't really know how a hundred macro shots of flowers relates to this thread.

You take great pictures though so don't think I'm saying that au all.
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
the only reason its flower shots is because that is what ive based my mobile photography page on. so its more convenient for me to get pics to compare and pics to upload for myself at the same time. or i would have to take time out of my day to do another whole test at a separate time. but i will try take pictures of other things for these tests then if its too much. i didnt think the subject of the photo mattered, as its the image quality itself we're all looking at. comparing results. thats why i supply stock and gcam and the after post so you can see both stages of both cameras pics. because most people edit there photos, whether its alot or a little. so final post picture is needed actually. because final product is what matters most.
[Google Camera Mods] crixley:
How is macro shot after macro shot in the same lighting of the same type of subjects while linking your Instagram comparing quality at all? Post what you want though but I'm sure you know as well as I do your reasoning.
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
ps: i updated my previous message.sorry, i think you replied to it before i could edit it.

bro i do this, because im passionate about photography and helping people. here i get to do both . if you need hidden motives to help someone then thats your issue bro. i like helping people either way, and im not going to stop. even if you cant understand why someone would like helping people. and you're wrong. i am benefiting, just not in the way you think, as i said before, i get to use the apk. if you needed other comparisons all you needed to do was ask. and i'd be happy to. because even tho it would be an inconvenience, im a nice person and would still deliver.

i put my Instagram so people can see the rest and report back if they need any information. i never boasted people must follow me, i always say "

IF

" you want to see the rest". seems to help because i get people from here, who see the post and go to my Instagram and ask me questions about the photos equipment and method used, almost everyday in which im always happy to help. so i guess im helping a little more than you think.. not just on xda for "likes" bro. what is a like or a thanks going to get me? nothing bro. not everything is about likes and thanks. just saying.
[Google Camera Mods] Gowri12:
So I think poco f2 will be the next OnePlus in price where OnePlus increasing the prices... Above 40000....
[Google Camera Mods] UzE ™:
Because Pixel 3 and Pocophone have same Sony sensor and of same size , only difference being OIS that is absent on Pocophone.
[Google Camera Mods] Ningj:
Thanks for making it possible! I wanted to test it out. However it failed install on every version listed. I have one plus 6 on pie. Any thing I am missing here? Thanks.
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Set It Just HDR+ and you'll have ZSL, you will notoce that there's no circle when you press the shutter button (unlike you use Hdr+ enhanced).

As [MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] said HDR+ Is always Active. I use 1.1 too and It seems that ZSL is working, but I use Hdr+enhanced most of the time
[Google Camera Mods] karige:
For the above reasons DomAlberts post the pictures to check the difference in our eyes.

Some of the community members are really helpful and supportive while some are simply passing by posting anything as like without going through the thread what's been going on.

Atleast be reasonable and constructive if not a developer.

For the comment on this post
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
It's okay. It's over now. I'm sure everyone got the point. I think we both went a little too far. And should never be displayed for all to see. I apologise. But what I REALLY want to know is your guys thoughts on the comparison ✌️?
[Google Camera Mods] RubenMMS2:
And why are you using the most of the time the Hdr+enhanced ? As far as i have read and watched videos in Youtube, the only advantage of the enhanced is on really dark scenarios... but in normal condition there should be no difference and you lose the ZSL...

On my S7 Edge as they explained me i always use the enhanced HDR+, and thats because i do not have the the ZSL in normal HDR+...:crying:

Hope i can buy soon my Oneplus 6 or 6T and for then a more stable version will be available with the perfect night sight. :D
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Because I don't care that much about the circle, generally hdr+ enhanced gives better shots (not only dark scenarios , even in mid-light conditions) and that's my goal.

When I need ZSL I switch to hdr+ in daylight, but it doesn't happen very often
[Google Camera Mods] RubenMMS2:
Is it possible that you could upload 2 examples of it, as far as i have seen on the Gcam mods it only worth in low light... thanks in advance and for your feedback :)
[Google Camera Mods] Gowri12:
The focussing is the main culprit in the most versions
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Hdr+ enhanced gives more detailed images. Nothin really impressive but more details for sure.

[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] I can notice that when I hit the shutter button and HDR+ is selected, the image is taken and there is no processing circle (like HDR+ enhanced). This said, as you linked to me that majestic article on how Gcam works, ZSL it's not JUST a fast shooting camera. It's about a buffering going on while the camera is opened waiting for the instant you hit the shutter. So this ain't about speed in acquiring the image, it's a complete different thing that I'm actually not capable of understanding if it works or not. What I can say looking to my experience with my little son is that THERE IS latency. To me ZSL is not actually working on OP6.

Ps: I know you know these things, just mentioned you because of giving some continuity to the discussion. Cheers

- Top Shot :

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

[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
​

Top shot works only with daydream and the pixel 3 version of Google photo (won't work with other versions). It's complicated. Otherwise you'll just see a small video with no possibility to choose a frame.
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
Yes, would be very interested to get that version of Google photo... [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] could you share a link to get it, pleasure please? Merci !

Tapatalk'ed over the intertubes from my awesome enchilada
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Will couse issues in non pixel devices. Dunno if it's worth the effort, honestly.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
But on OxygenOS the back camera does not work

[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] night mode quality is back to 1.1? Tks a lot man
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
No, but it's already better than the previous version, Google uses a new algorithm for processing to use less ISO
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
You mean that we will no more have the quality of 1.1?

Just to know because I'm highly interested in night mode.

Tks a lot man.
[Google Camera Mods] Hsmetric181:
Faster than previous version is an understatement .

Thanks a ton buddy .
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
You can install both versions to compare. I made some comparison. I prefer version 6.1.013, but when you zoom in on the picture of the 6.1.021 it is better.
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
hey arnova, thank you so much for the new update. it is the most stable version till now for rear camera but front camera in every mode crashes when i take 2-3 photos using both hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced. also crashes in night sight's front camera. also, there is no option to select between hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced for portrait mode. please enable the option if possible. thank you
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
When you talk about zooming you are still refering to night mode or super Res zoom?

How can I install both? With clone app? (Super noob question)
[Google Camera Mods] Chardoser:
How about white balance ? I think that pocophone gcam is better is there any way to make it better and thank you for HDR enhanced on portrait mode ????
[Google Camera Mods] somebob:
No need to clone or anything, they exist as two different apps.

Installing the new version won't overwrite the previous one.( At least in this case). :fingers-crossed:

P. S. Change the icons ( if your launcher supports it) or you'll get confused.
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
I really like this version! sharpness and WB are way more accurate and nightmode has been improved.

super res zoom works great too. Is lanczos or raisr resampling enabled by default?

i have been testing shots on 16.3 mp with no super res zoom available and 12 mp with resampling and no zoom (but This mod does allow superreszoom if i wanted to use it with great results) and 16.3 wins by a little ir you dont use zoom at least on my opinion)

will test the 16.3mp photos if a version with extra tweaks becomes available like your previous release. Do you know if there will be a version with extra tweaks there based on this latest release?

been testing for almost a month this photos app version, i can tell that there is no other bug than topshot backcamera itself for now
[Google Camera Mods] Nummer35:
I installed the newest version an motion photo always crashes. Do I miss something?
[Google Camera Mods] erto90:
The only thing I hate is that Google photo open when you press the preview..
[Google Camera Mods] kryshnakishore:
is there any option/way to disable shutter sound
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Really? So what's about the "unistall every previus version and clear data before installing" mantra?

On back camera won't work. Please read the above posts we just said everything about.

I am since the day it was released. I wish to know what [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] can say about it. tks

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] folder creating for portrait shots has been fixed like 1.1?
[Google Camera Mods] Dendis:
Night sight doesn't work with back camera on latest version. The circle goes 1/4 and that's it.
[Google Camera Mods] Nummer35:
double post
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
- For the frontal camera, I will work to correct this bug

- HDR+ enhanced for portrait, it is enable by default

I'm talking about both, if you take a picture without zoom and in the gallery you zoom in you will see the difference. with super Res zoom also no loss of quality.

Cleaning the app cache could fix

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

Yes this happened after the photo motion correction, I think I will add an option to disable it, if I can't find a solution.
[Google Camera Mods] somebob:
You either uninstall the previous app and install the new one, or clear data of the previous apk and install the new over the old one.

Since the dev made the 2 apk different, you can install both of them at once. You are not installing the new one in the old one's place. They are 2 different apps. It's all dev's preference. :fingers-crossed:
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
Like all new versions, I fix well bugs and add additional options
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
CONFIRMED: shooting with portrait mode will create a folder just for the 2 pics (with/without effect) inside the Camera folder.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]: I really like that in the new version i can tap on the "It's dark try night mode" popup to activate night mode. Previus popup won't do anything, I'd manually open night mode every time. Plus, now the above message is shown in my lenguage.

this is magic. KUDOS.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

Focus issue with your latest update (first app).

No issues with your first Beta 1.3 (second app).

Also issues with GCam 5.3 (third app).

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LU7nwGdMoP41V2vWHfNK9Ad7b-5qsQKV/view?usp=drivesdk

Also circle stop animation issue is back with your latest version (was fixed on first Beta 1.3).

First couple shots are taken, then the issue occurs randomly:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PqQQi-IweBlmkqykEhmENvpse0LefHs2/view?usp=drivesdk
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
Yes the problem with animation is after having activated motion photo
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Activated motion photo within the app? (I always use enhanced HDR+, so this is not the case for me. This also happens in Night Sight)

Or do you mean activated motion photo within the code? If so, I would beg you to release a version with motion photo disabled within the code.

I think a 100% reliable app is worth more than an app which randomly doesn't take a shot just to include a rather gimmicky feature.

Do you need logs on the focus issue in my video?
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
Even if motion photo is disabled motion metering remains active what causes this bug. So if I disable motion metering, motion photo and motion focus no longer works and that solves the problem.

I'm going to add a toggle to disable motion metering
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Thanks for clarification. That's really unfortunate as motion focus is a great feature. I don't know about the others, but I would still prefer the circle-animation stop issue be fixed than having the other features with a less reliable camera.

Do you think there is a possibility this might be fixed eventually? As I understand you don't really need any more logs on this issue, do you?

edit: a toggle is a great idea!

Thank you very much.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
I'll try to understand why this product, ex: if you use the front camera in the dark the suggestion to use the night mode is displayed but not on the camera back, on MI5 it is displayed .I think it's a problem with Hardware Level Supported, 5.1, I had it clean, I'll do the same thing as the 5.1
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I noticed on BSG version (and probably one you gave me based on that), there was the option to chose "UI Style" or something like that.

When switching to "Pixel 2" I got the night sight suggestion for the back cam, but only after first starting the app.

Going back to regular mode, the suggestion would not appear again until I fully closed the app and started it again.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
Yes the BSG version does not use motion photo or motion focus, there are no such bug
[Google Camera Mods] megahead34:
Ok, what am I missing here? The new Gcam version Arnova just posted is not saving pictures in google photos app?!
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Yes right, I figured so after your explanation.

But I meant the "Night sight suggestion" pop-up message.

On latest BSG, when I chose "Pixel 2 UI" within the settings, I get it also for the back camera, but only once.

There is an issue with motion metering on the OP6.

On some occasions this causes the app to not take a picture.

E.g. with enhanced HDR+ or Night Sight, the circle animation when taking the shot will randomly stop.

Once this happens -> no photo stored

This happens on ALL versions so far, except the first Beta 1.3 and BSG, as these versions have the code for motion metering disabled within the app. When disabling this code, motion photos and motion focus will stop working.

Arnova wants to add a toggle for motion metering in the app for users to chose themselves.

That's basically what the last page says.
[Google Camera Mods] megahead34:
Looks like the system is still processing HDR+, not sure how long this is supposed to take
[Google Camera Mods] Nummer35:
So I assumed correct that motion photo should work with the newest version of your camera port?! I cleaned cache and reboot the device and will test.

I thought I forgot something because I installed the app on a completely new device.

EDIT:

Google photos app is still crashing when I try to view motion photos. Would log files help? (no root)
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
I tried both versions but what I find is that 1.1 takes the better night mode shot, they are very close but 1.3 looks like it's dulled down on contrast, and I tiny bit more noisy, the noisyness isn't such a big deal as it's very minor but low contrast look makes images look a little fake. Is there anyway you can get the quality of 1.1 back in night mode?

Also by the way how to you use the super zoom detail? Do you just zoom and it happens automatically or is there a setting to do?
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
Normally the night mode should not work on pixel 2 (only 2 pixel users could confirm with the original version), so I think it's a code error

I also prefer version 1.1 for night mode, but after reading some google article will greatly improve this mode. I think we're not on a final version of this mode
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Actually noticed the contrast issue on any mode, only realising this now.

First pic is 1.3 and second pic is 1.1

As you can see 1.3 looks like the contrast has been lower and the picture does not look as nice

Edit : I don't know why the first pic rotated but you can still see the contrast issue, is there anyway the contrast could be fixed?
