So you made a copy-paste from first post? :) Cute.. :D
[Google Camera Mods] RiTCHiE007:
I want to give the devs a big thumbs up and this gcam has become better and better last few weeks and its almost ready to use as a daily app!

Not 100% perfect yet but the future looks very good and when its fully working and i can replace my default camera app ill donate 5 bucks for all the hard work so stay strong and keep the good work going!! ❤️
[Google Camera Mods] Batfink33:
It's a great mod and pics look 100x better than stock.
[Google Camera Mods] powlemann:
I also just wanted to drop a quick thanks to the devs. Your work is much appreciated, please be sure of that.

Will donate as soon as Portrait Mode is working. Love!
[Google Camera Mods] gdk15:
I'm new to XDA... gcam mod is working really well.. lot better pics than stock... im trying to post samples here but don't know how to... thanks alot to the developers... hope portrait works in near future.. will definitely buy the devs a beer or two once portrait works... thanks in advance... You are the best
[Google Camera Mods] xmegapixelx:
App produces really good images in normal light conditions. However in low light default camera app captures much more details compared to the gcam. Any suggestions ?
[Google Camera Mods] v4uluv2004:
1st Stock. 2nd Gcam

Gcam at HDR+ and black level fix disabled.
[Google Camera Mods] Mord0rr:
Gcam is better and i confirm that too..

A BIG thanks for devs. Hope sincerely they found a solution to the Focus problem.....the biggest complain here still:silly:
[Google Camera Mods] lombyzgz:
Better? I see similar pictures, I prefer sotck in this moment.

[Google Camera Mods] Paz9:
can someone explain the differences between all the GCAM ports there is?

Pixel2Mod - by Arnova

GCAM - by Arnova

and defcomg-fix_OP6v0.3_MGC

what are the differences?
[Google Camera Mods] exaflare:
gcam is more brighter but had problem in focusing especially in this shot which is close-up stock is much sharper.
[Google Camera Mods] v4uluv2004:
The biggest issue for gcam is the focus specially under indoor lights. Once that is solved it can produce great images.

Although earlier focus was really erratic but improved a lot in last couple of updates. Hoping to see more stable update on gcam from arnova and other devs. ?
[Google Camera Mods] danilobertelli:
I do have the same question. Never know which one to install. If someone could help, I really appreciate! Thanks
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Pixel2Mod is the most stable.

GCam 1.2.2 is the most recent with more customizable options (ex: denoise parameters).
[Google Camera Mods] Batfink33:
Look at the difference in detail on the wooden post..Stock top, Gcam bottom, stock really sucks....

View attachment 4565978
[Google Camera Mods] xmegapixelx:
I can't get a decent photo with gcam in low light. First stock, second gcam
[Google Camera Mods] Cell_7:
Denoise options are SOOOOOO underestimated.
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
What's your denoise settings?

I shuffle between turning them on and off
[Google Camera Mods] Cell_7:
It really depends on your taste, I have them very very low (0.2) all of them, I want it as sharp as possible and I actually like digital noise, just my style.
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
For the front cam I keep them all at 1 except the bottom 3, keeps the sharpness and decreases the noise. Noise is more apparent on the front cam cause of the 4MP resolution.

For the back cam I usually keep them either off or at 1
[Google Camera Mods] t2jbird:
Turn off the stupid 19:9 aspect ratio, and stop screenshotting your pictures before posting them.
[Google Camera Mods] Batfink33:
They're both on 4:3 zoomed. I'm not that stupid.
[Google Camera Mods] t2jbird:
And why are you using a screenshot? Post a link to the full resolution photos. We can zoom.
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
I have the 1.2.2 pixel3mod (latest 5.3 cam on OP) by Arnova and I just can't find denoise settings anywhere... What am I doing wrong?

[Google Camera Mods] any8888:
I am noob here , can anyone help me how to install this ? Either directly install the APK file or I need to unlock the bootloader? And any settings need to be changed ? Please answer
[Google Camera Mods] alexferdean:
No bootloader unlock, just install the apk and enjoy. Do come back to check for updates though.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

In this Interview they are saying that the OP6 actually uses both sensors for autofocus.

https://youtu.be/CRhxEugpLnE

3:19

Is this maybe a reason why Gcam has focus issues?

A quick test with the stock cam didn't really show any difference in focus speed when covering the second sensor,

so it's probably another OnePlus PR bull******.
[Google Camera Mods] lutyjj:
For them it would be a great idea to use secondary sensor because it utilizes PDAF, which is FAR FAR faster than DCAF (which is used by main sensor). I mean, they probably gather data about focus from secondary sensor and than "confirm" it with data from main sensor because of DCAF (CDAF if we correctly use terminology) slowness. So their statement is not far from being true, that would be just smart to do.
[Google Camera Mods] Batfink33:
Because my baby is in them and I'm not posting pics of her in here, you can see her leg in the photo.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
Yes I also think that the focus is used with the second camera.

The problem is that OnePlus did not add the secondary camera in API2.

At the moment I have two test focus version

Correction of photo motion for the back camera and improvement of the quality of the photos.

Uninstall the previous version before installing this one. New sign works for google play protect
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Thanks Arnova8G2.

Is one of these the same as the last 1.2.2? If yes which one of them is different?
[Google Camera Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
Focus-2 apk is better a beat different from focus-1apk
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
portrait mode isn't working in focus 2 version. [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]
[Google Camera Mods] daleski75:
I agree it seems to be a shade faster when focusing.
[Google Camera Mods] faritv:
And I have colour artifacts with this version. Looks like blue scratches when zooming. How to remove?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
You can't, and it not only happens on this version, but all previous versions too. First thing I noticed.

I also believe this is due to the sensor, as these "scratches" also appear (a little less) with the stock camera.

DxO also mentioned these artifacts in their review and I can notice them throughout many full resolution samples online,

so this is a common issue which only gets amplified when using HDR+.

I must say that the OP3 still seems to produce better HDR+ shots, at least in good lighting.

The OP6 tends to get less sharp throughout the edges, which is not the case on the OP3.

I can understand this on macros, due to the wider aperture. But this also happens on normal shots and with the stock camera app.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

I can also confirm that focus is improved in 1.2.2 test 2. (I did not try test 1 yet)

Thank you for your efforts so far!
[Google Camera Mods] lombyzgz:
Focus in low light is bad in the two versions.

Noise in low ligth is much better on Gcam.

Still nowhere near as fast as the stock but I would say the test 2 ver is faster by 0.5 sec than the 24 July ver that i was prev using.

Sweet at least theres progress.

Also upon trying out the exposure optuon that popped up for me at keaat im getting green tint when i change it on some speeds.
[Google Camera Mods] AciDB:
It looks like version one is faster to me. Not completely sure tho. They are close.
[Google Camera Mods] Driver007:
For me, second version a bit faster in indoor lightning.
[Google Camera Mods] ferreinf:
running the latest beta on havoc rom and portrait takes the Pic and then brakes camera. no preview but takes the Pic ?
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
Did he say it is working? I can't see that comment here.

When he will say that portraid mode is ready, then it will be ready.

Until that it is totally unnecessary to tell people which is actually clear from the first post..
[Google Camera Mods] ravidevani:
[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

Can autofocus system from defcomg-fix_OP6v0.3_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk be ported to pixel3mod? Its crazy fast in that particular version.
[Google Camera Mods] faritv:
And last test focus version gives out 12mp photos, I cleaned cash, but it is still 12 not 16 mp. How to solve?
[Google Camera Mods] yashpatel99:
Gcam can capture upto 12mp only, not 16.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
You have to set the "resampling method" to "none" and it will capture 16 MP.
[Google Camera Mods] yashpatel99:
You're right. Just noticed it.
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
it was working completely but for me atleast it was taking photos when we press shutter but now the app crashes.
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
No, it was not working.

Let me quote you the first post:

Working:

Rear HDR+ Capture

Front HDR+ Capture

Lens Blur

Panorama

PhotoSphere

Google Lens (Only on "Pixel3Mod" or 5.3.015 versions)

I can't see the portrait there.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

Unfortunately HDR Capturing is missing when I download and installed these two test version ... Can you suggest how can I get HDR ON THESE test versions
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
I also get the impression that focus is better in test 2. Test 1 seemes to be searching..searching..searching..searching..a bit more. Focusing on fluorescent lights, close/at lamps and moving objects remains difficult in both versions.

I get a very visible flickering/blinking around fluorescent lights sometimes. My Google Pixel is broken so cannot make a comparison but I do not remember that it used to look like that on Pixel. Not sure if this related to the focus problem, but perhaps?

Quality and dynamic range seems to be quite good.

It's on by default. If you want to be able to turn it on and off: Settings > Advanced > HDR+ control.
[Google Camera Mods] daleski75:
You have to turn on the option to control HDR ;)

Need help

Hi,

I can't take successive pics with

GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1.apk on my oneplus 6.

Is there any fix ?

Can someone help
[Google Camera Mods] kyleruggles:
Wait till the Pixel 3 comes out. Currently Gcam is based on the older Google Camera for the Pixel 2 and SD835 proc's. It's not optimized yet for SD845. Just wait! it'll be even more awesome once it comes out.

My Oneplus 3 with Gcam nearly matches the 6 without.

Cheers ^_^
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Sucks that Google decided to keep the single camera, I think it would've been easier to get the port working with full functionality if Google also used dual cameras.
[Google Camera Mods] kyleruggles:
Hmm possibly! But I don't think it would be easier. Would probably be harder due to focal length variations between manufactures. , I wish they would go the dual camera route. We all have depth perception because we have two eyes, it's just more accurate. What I'd like to see is raw output with portrait mode. Now I think that's possible :)
[Google Camera Mods] hassan987:
I suspect there are other light metering complications in Oneplus dual-camera implementation as well. EXIF data especially seems to be false. It seems the exposure data values get added (summed) from both sensor and saved in the EXIF data. Hence roughly double the ISO and half the shutter speed compared to most other phones for same photo. For e.g. if primary sensor is at ISO400 and secondary at ISO600 then reported ISO is ISO1000.

Still do not understand why RAW files come washed out and overexposed?
[Google Camera Mods] itsmohsink:
Have anyone tried AR Stickers on these versions, I have tried but its not showing!
[Google Camera Mods] yashpatel99:
You should hit OnePlus for adding second camera only for portrait. Google isn't working for OnePlus. Google has done a very good job making best smartphone camera with only one camera. OnePlus needs to change, not google. Just coping apple everywhere.

How did you even become a senior member ?
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
I wasn't hitting on Google or OnePlus. I was just stating what I think is obvious that it's harder to implement and will have the developers do more work to get the port to perfection. As stated in the YouTube video Arnova8G2 shared if the faster focus was done with the help of both cameras then it would definitely help in the port if Google did the same thing with the phone that is still to be released. Specially with people complaining about focus time, which isn't an issue for me personally. Kyleruggles pointed to the focal length variation which i think is correct. What exactly did you add to the conversation?

If you have a thought to add to the forum/community you're welcomed to do so and we all can have an intelligent adult conversation about it. If you have an issue we can all try to help you sort it out. But last I checked criticism of members/developers seniors or not on this forum isn't accepted.

If you do not like the phone or the company and think they just copy apple then why did you purchase the phone. If you wish to discuss the strategy of OnePlus then you are in the wrong thread. In all cases I can hit on whichever company I damn well please. Again, your attitude isn't accepted.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
The problem with OnePlus and other manufacturer works on API1 except Xiaomi which have a perfect API2.

For focus, I wanted to add nexus 6 codes, I understood why this works well it uses API1. pixel 2017 only works on API2.

In the last version I started with the API parameters of the camera stock ( com.qti.stats_control.dual_led_calibration_result, com.qti.stats.awbwrapper.AWBCCT, org.oneplus.camera2.parameters.bokehEffect, org.oneplus.camera2.parameters.enable_Mirror, org.codeaurora.qcamera3.ae_bracket.OPmode, org.oneplus.camera2.parameters.hsDetected, com.qti.stats_control.is_drc_hdr_scene ) some parameters work, some don't.

That's why I noticed an improvement in image quality.

I will add all the useful parameters to make GCam work

The manufacturer relies on their knowledge instead of evolving. He prefers adding API1 to the OREO and PIE codes rather than learning about API2, google had remove API1 codes.
[Google Camera Mods] alexferdean:
You should definitely apply for a OnePlus job in the camera department. Maybe you can teach them a thing or two :)
[Google Camera Mods] yashpatel99:
I am Sorry, forgive me, I don't want to read this whole story. ? Only reason for purchasing OnePlus 6 was I couldn't afford pixel 2.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

Thank you for your insight!

I think many will really appreciate any information regarding your progress and difficulty in fixing GCam for the OP6

(or rather fixing what's wrong within the OP6 camera implementation).

As you said you started implementing API parameters, do you think you can improve the quality even further?

Besides the focus, which is not bad now in my opinion, the thing which is most apparent in terms of quality

is the blue/green tint in high contrast scenes compared to the stock camera.

It seems this is similar to what we experienced on the OP3 a while ago (red tint), which could be vastly improved

by editing the color calibration (black level settings). Is there a possibility to unlock these settings once more in Gcam 5.3?

Besides that, do you need further logs of any kind?
[Google Camera Mods] Mord0rr:
Any good sign with release of Samsung, to obtain Snap 845 stuff?
[Google Camera Mods] daleski75:
What do you mean?
[Google Camera Mods] Toni Moon:
I try this one and portrait mode seems to work, but dont have the deep efect like the original.

If any expert can check the quality, i dont see any diference with stock..

[Google Camera Mods] daleski75:
Portrait mode does not crash but the picture quality is significantly noisier when compared to stock and arnova8G2's port and also no hdr+ enhanced which makes a huge difference to quality.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Appears to be loading a limitedJPEG HDR+ config, which isn't the right config for Portrait, that's why it isn't lagging. No HDR+, no Portrait effect.
[Google Camera Mods] Mord0rr:
If not mistaken, this port is based on Pixel 2 835 Snap...

Maybe developer can get some "bases" on Samsung...

P.S. - Only now realease that he needs Pixel 3 and not Samsung....damm ...i need vacations!:silly::silly:

OnePlus 6 OOS5.1.9

GCAM Pixel2Mod v8.1

Stock settings, nothing changed
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Can't comment on 5.1.9 as I am using DP3, but your mentioned version worked fine on my device.

I recommend trying test 2 from this post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77272780&postcount=1427

Deinstall your current Gcam first.

Also enable the HDR+ toggle in advanced settings within the app, restart the app, then enable enhanced HDR+ in the viewfinder at the top.

edit: [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]

Could you please edit the first post with said Gcam version, as it really improves focus speed and accuracy over the previous 1.2.2.
[Google Camera Mods] xTzuyu:
Yup, that works. Strange how the main app on the first post doesn't work haha.

EDIT: Does your viewfinder flicker? Like it becomes bright and normal multiple times.
[Google Camera Mods] tylerdurden83:
Guys in the OP it doesn't say so I wanted to ask, does it require root? And does it replace the stock camera? Thank you and have a nice day
[Google Camera Mods] jdhewitt:
Root not required. It is a separate app to your stock camera.
[Google Camera Mods] phate223:
Thanks for your hard work on the cam apps!

Is there no option for raw output or did I miss something?
[Google Camera Mods] ossy1337:
Also want to thank you for your hard work!

I'm currently using the test 2 version on 5.1.9 and I'm pretty impressed. There is less smudging going on in comparison to the stock camera and as far as I can judge the white balance is better. Stock camera shots tend to come out too warm.. at least they look too warm on my display. Focusing, although its noticably slower than stock, seems not to be an issue for me and does not behave buggy in any way. I'm gonna try to use your cam as my daily driver now. Looking forward to the next updates!
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Updated. For the record, I found focus-test-1 to be better for me, but I have not done extensive tests.
[Google Camera Mods] Zooman010203:
Really big thanks for hard work!!

I'm also on test 2 cam and I'm really impressed by the work,.. Focus is struggling some 2-3 sec. but is OK when it's focused.

Didn't try test 1...is there a difference?

I'm on 5.1.9 update.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
In terms of focus speed / accuracy?

I did not test it yet, but will do so in the coming days.

Thanks!
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
focus-test-2 had the focus hunting of the older versions, but focus-test-1 locked more correctly, faster. Typically. There were still some instances of missed focus.
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
It sure is hard to test this..

After reading cstark27:s impressions I tried jumping back and forth between test1 and test2 again, doing test shots on a partly open window with curtains blowing in the wind. Outside there's a bright, partly clouded sky. I took a lot of pictures where I avoided the open window as well.

My impression:

Test1 might be a little faster indoors and around sharp contours. While facing the window test1 does pretty well but then and then again it starts to search, search, search and gives up while the subject is still out of focus.

Test2 might be a little slower but when it searches it tends to slowly make it way to the point we're the subject is in focus. But sure, there are some misses on this version as well.

Both versions have about the same difficulty with moving objects. Cannot really tell if one version is better than the other. Sometimes bright skies and florescent lights causes flickering.
[Google Camera Mods] mystique47:
Both versions fail outdoor far with low light
[Google Camera Mods] Static-xy:
What do you guys use to test these cameras. I got gcam installed. I just took a few photos with it and with stock cam. I did indoor pic inside of my apartment. Quickly looking at them on my phone I can't tell the difference.

How do you guys do the legit comparisons between the photos, and what do you take photos of for the comparison?
[Google Camera Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
From all versions released I took my time to it all and I am still in love with this version MGC_5.3.015_v.1.0.5_Tolyan009.apk, both in low light indoor and outdoor quality is awesome compared to others. My opinion :)
[Google Camera Mods] JellyPing:
I can't use front camera that's always fc, how to fix?
[Google Camera Mods] Dark Crow:
Just a question guys why is the gcam's video mode have a wider coverage area than the stock video? The stock feels so zoomed now in when making a video.

[MENTION=9361877]JellyPing[/MENTION] You have two options either switch to video mode then front video then back to photo mode or just download the Pixel2mod which has it working perfectly.

[MENTION=5893643]Static-xy[/MENTION] for me take a picture of detailed things from far away, animal fur, and faces if you really cant see the difference. Take one photo of the same thing with the stock then the gcam. 90% of the time gcam gives better details, shadows, contrast hell even color accuracy at times.
[Google Camera Mods] Zooman010203:
Can you provide a link... Thnx
