This one i take from Stock Camera and Gcam Camera..

Zoomed from compare app.. and screenshot...

Gcam offcourse way better..
[Google Camera Mods] Hsmetric181:
Hospital? I thought he's out for personal work.

Hope he get well soon.
[Google Camera Mods] Dendis:
Thank you! So do you like Gcam more or what?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
From his comparison shots with custom denoise parameters, it is obvious that Gcam is better.

Although I think that the stock camera "can" (!) produce good results for landscape photography,

its main issue is consistency, the abysmal HDR mode and shooting people is absolute trash.

There are often instances were you won't notice that much of a difference when comparing stock to Gcam,

but then again stock tends to produce subpar shots quite often, Gcam does not.

[MENTION=7845725]Antretng[/MENTION]

It seems your device does not have the issue were overall sharpness is reduced to the edges of a photo due to the subpar lens OnePlus is using.

Or is it just not that visible in your given samples?
[Google Camera Mods] Dendis:
[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION]

Thank you for analyzing, but then again, practically every photo coming of my device is through Gcam. Should I use it for everything or no?

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]: What is the difference between "N6PbsgfixPortrait-GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk" from September 27th and "GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3bfix.apk" from yesterday?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
What I noticed is that Arnova's version is finally fixing all tint-issues I had in high contrast situations.

--->> GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3bfix.apk

In my opinion it is the best released version so far.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] Pure gold! You are saving this device for many. Huge respect for you to dive back in that shortly after your accident!

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] Thanks for helping on the mod, including the n6p lib and sharing your work!

[MENTION=4333509]Dendis[/MENTION]

Currently I'm still in my testing phase during everyday life were I shoot with both stock and Gcam to compare them.

but I will be on trips with friends shortly, were I will rely on GCam mostly, especially now that the tint issue is fixed.

Once people come into play, stock is a huge

NO

for me.

Also keep in mind that the current release only supports 12 MP output. Arnova is currently working on Pixel3Mod which already supports 16 MP.

So prepare yourself for even better results once that's fully baked.
[Google Camera Mods] eroigaps:
Thank you so much! Finally have motion photo again :laugh:
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Great upgrade. Thank you [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]

Sometimes the app just closes without even an error message. Anyone with the same issue?
[Google Camera Mods] b00ster:
Wow, the difference is so huge... GCam is much better
[Google Camera Mods] deezid:
The 12MP output of gcam makes OPcam 16MP output look like 2MP in comparison lol
[Google Camera Mods] karthikraobr:
Setting flash to Auto, enables the flash always, even in bright conditions. Anyone else faces this issue? Thanks.
[Google Camera Mods] mariotme:
It used to happen on the previous build. But not anymore on

[Google Camera Mods] Vuska:
is Arnova v8.3fix also have N6P enable and potrait mode run?
[Google Camera Mods] Subhojit:
Yes.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Yes, it has every most recent fix and change. Portrait Mode works just fine.
[Google Camera Mods] Chinaroad:
hi guys, first of all thanks again for the devs for this app because its waaaay better than the stock one, but is there any way to disable the hdr, cuz disabling it will make it impossible to take a picture, also the bug after taking 3-4 pics make the button grayed, and am i the only one who thinks that the colors are a little bit burnt compared with what's on screen before taking the pic(maybe the hdr effect)

In anyways i want to rush the devs or looks like that i want thos bugs to be fixed as soon as possible, i just wanted to mention it (even if they might were on privious posts) and to see if the others noticed it or no

thanks
[Google Camera Mods] CelsiusOne:
Hey guys, I installed the version from the first post and I'm running pie, every shot I take comes out in black and white and portrait mode is hanging. Tried clearing data and rebooting. I just installed the APK, is there any other step I'm missing or something?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Uninstall GCam completely and install this version:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77763616&postcount=2039
[Google Camera Mods] Dark Crow:
Whoa thats dedication for you.

So this works for Androud Pie right? Sorry Im still in Oreo so i just wanted to make sure.

And what do you guys think, the current pixel cams are still a few leagues away from being perfect but the Pixel 3 will be releasing shortly.

How likely would there be another development to port that cam to 845 devices? And would the Pixel 2 cam just be dropped?
[Google Camera Mods] LazerH:
Sorry for asking directly, but reading 207 pages might take a little long.

I used gcam alongside the nolimits ROM and liked it a lot but since the project is stopped, I'm not using it anymore.

So in short terms, which APK to use being on ob4 (pie) with magisk 17.2 and flash Kernel and is there anything special to take care of.

Thanks in advance

[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION]

Which [MENTION=7845725]Antretng[/MENTION]g settings do you use with the latest version?

Edit : with [MENTION=7845725]Antretng[/MENTION] after few shots, the shutter button stops working, have to restart the app
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
[MENTION=4333509]Dendis[/MENTION]

I have yet to find the perfect settings for me. Sometimes specific settings are great for one, but worse for another situation.

I think the balanced configuration he mentioned in his initial post does a very good job for various situations.
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
On the latest version everything works absolutely great except the camera force closes on front cam. It's random, sometimes happens on the first pic and sometimes after 5 pics. Literally tried everything I can think of. Anyone with the same issue or know how to fix it?

Edit: doesn't happen with front portraits, just regular HDR+ and HDR+ enhanced.

Could you guys please confirm whether you have the same issue or not so I can try to pin down what's the issue?
[Google Camera Mods] Antretng:
Yeap. The third set up seems the most balanced one.

However you can always reduce noise with post processing. But you cannot restore lost detail...

If someone wants even less noise, then fu24 with model nexus 6p is the best. (better detail than default denoise settings on the n6bsgfix)

I will try the new arnova version and report back regarding detail/noise.
[Google Camera Mods] Zknafein:
Burst mode dosnt work. Classic burst neither. If i disable HDR completely, camera doesnt take any picture. Is a general problem por just my phone? (OP6, pie final)
[Google Camera Mods] osm0sis:
Signature mismatch with Arnova's previous build, must be because you added the modded lib? Presumably Arnova will also add this lib in his next version?

This is also the best Camera mod for the OP5T. :D
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
I decompiled the version he sent me and added the lib, yes. I sent him the lib but I think he just wanted me to add and distribute it due to his limited connectivity.

To those who asked, the builds from this past week and probably for the foreseeable future are targeted at Pie/Pie issues. Please do your own testing to find the most suitable version for your needs. Everyone has different requirements. Generally you want to use the newest build posted on the OP.
[Google Camera Mods] Antretng:
I notice that sometimes GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3bfix.apk starts shooting a picture but at 1/10 of the circle stops.

My settings are with model nexus 6p. It reminded me the issues that I had with earlier versions and nexus 6p.

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Ok some more comparison. The latest of arnova (8.3.b) vs n6bsgfix vs fu24 vs stock

All with model nexus 6p, super high and default denoise parameters (I mean with the denoise settings off)

stock https://www.flickr.com/gp/148406140@N05/78cGE7

fu24 https://www.flickr.com/gp/148406140@N05/yURF86

n6bsgfix https://www.flickr.com/gp/148406140@N05/403SM0

arnova83b https://www.flickr.com/gp/148406140@N05/XDH8n9

To my eyes, fu24 still has better detail.
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Thanks for the test man.

I've found that with the same noise settings applied to both Arnova8G2's version has less noise.

With my testing Arnova8G2's version has better details of people's faces.

Maybe that's what my eyes prefer.

Do you get any force closes on the front camera after taking multiple pictures?
[Google Camera Mods] manudhomra:
Last few days have been very good in respect to the development for gram for Oneplus 6. Many thanks to the developers. Keep it us guys.
[Google Camera Mods] robotzki:
No limits ROM, is not discontinued. There was just released an update a few days ago. But nevermind... Use this version, it's the most updated GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3bfix.apk

Activate nexus6p model for best results
[Google Camera Mods] Tantan93:
Low light

I get very under exposed pictures with gcam vs stock. Gcam: ISO 9600 1/33

Stock: ISO 6400 1/6

Is it supposed to be like this? Thanks.
[Google Camera Mods] Niklasg85:
Great work!

I have been using your camera ports with my children's nexus 5x and Xiaomi a1 phones. Works great! I see clearly better images with my OP6 phone!!

I Really preciate your hard work!
[Google Camera Mods] Antretng:
Enable hdr+ enhanced.

1/33 is when you have simple hdr+ (zsl).
[Google Camera Mods] Tantan93:
Oh yeah ! That made sense thanks! I really appreciate this community. I imagine if we eventually get the pixel 3/sd 845 version and 16mp it will be truly an amazing improvement from the stock cam. It already is.
[Google Camera Mods] Dendis:
Do you use hdr enhanced or just hdr+?
[Google Camera Mods] Polhek:
Burst mode not working?
[Google Camera Mods] Niklasg85:
I can't take multiple photos.

If I take one photo I have to open gallery app and then go back to the camera to take the second photo.

I can't just take one photo, then take another. It's just won't take the photo. I can tap the focus but nothings happens with a second shoot.

Is there anyone else who is getting this error?

Regards
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Make sure to wipe cache and data of the app.

Back cam and portrait mode back and front work flawlessly with me. However front cam on HDR+ ad HDR+ enhanced force close, sometimes on the first pic sometimes after 5 pics, playing around with all the settings and restarts don't fix it.
[Google Camera Mods] :
Anyone have a link to good settings? I'm using the Sept 30 version on Open Beta 4.
[Google Camera Mods] rafa10pj:
I have the same problem, but not with HDR enhanced. I've found that if I take one picture with HDR+, then one with HDR enhanced, then every subsequent picture with HDR+ works flawlessly.
[Google Camera Mods] hyddro:
Camera takes forever to take a picture with flash on... Like a good 4-6sec, especiales in low light... Is this normal?
[Google Camera Mods] Dendis:
Wow! Nice workaround you found. It works for me! Take one with zsl, then with enhanced and then take as many photos as you like with zsl!
[Google Camera Mods] xeltos:
Have the 30th Sept version 8.3.

The flash issue is still there. Too much time to take a photo. And auto flash turns on even when there is plenty of light. Have to manually disable flash.

Haven't tested other aspects.

The hang issue is mostly gone. (did not encounter hanging in one hour of testing)

Also what's the deal with ar stickers? Does it not work at all or it needs some Magisk module to work?
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
AR works, download the AR app from the okay store then get the AR stickers from app mirror. You can find a post about them on this thread if u do a search.

Did your test include the front camera? It usually crashes with me randomly.
[Google Camera Mods] ravidevani:
clear storage of the app.. AR works without magisk..
[Google Camera Mods] Polhek:
Does slow-mo work for anyone?
[Google Camera Mods] Hsmetric181:
[Deleted]
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
It crashes instantly once I tap on it with me. It was a known issue with previous GCam builds btw.

Does the front camera crash with you or can you take up to 10 pictures in a row without issues?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Hey guys. If you experience any types of crashes, please also provide the respective logs along with the description of the issue.

Also make sure to give the exact version you are using.

Easiest way to get logs is to use the root app Matlog and choosing "file" -> "record", then recreating the bug/issue in GCam and going back to Matlog afterwards and stop the log.

Then it is best to zip it due to its size (OnePlus still did not fix their Pie log-spam...) and share it via Google Drive for example.
[Google Camera Mods] xeltos:
Using OP6 open beta 4.

30th Sept build. I have the Ar stickers app. I have ar core installed. When I click on ar stickers. Nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? (of course I cleared app storage)

Edit: nevermind. I need nodded ar stickers. Downloading now.
[Google Camera Mods] RusherDude:
Awesome mod! last version (8.3fix) works like a charm (except slow-mo as always).

I've been having front camera crashes randomly happen, sometimes when I try to take the first shot and sometimes after 5-6 shots.

The MGC_5.3.015_MI8_V0 is released. Can you take a look? Maybe it can be ported too.

Thanks in advance!
[Google Camera Mods] dragos281993:
Everything works pretty well on the latest version. Portrait mode is a bit buggy sometimes in the sense that it's not always gonna capture with a nice blur effect but just a normal picture with a very slight blur, almost unnoticeable. But it happens only in some specific scenarios.

The only things that's not working at all is the "60" FPS video recording. I mean the video is recorded at 30fps even if it's set to 60.

Other than that, the app is getting closer and closer to working perfectly.
[Google Camera Mods] kryshnakishore:

Hi thank you so much for posting this. I am really loving the app. Just a question, why does the front camera only captures pictures in 4MP? And is there a way to change it? I know in the settings it says 12MP, but still captures the image in 4MP. Thanks :)

[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Portrait Mode freezes the viewfinder for me. Toogles continue to work. I will add a log in a bit.

Edit: it seems that back camera portrait mode actually records a shot, but the viewfinder isn't refreshing but showing the last thing it displayed before switching to portrait mode.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rBu5tAVU01GNAtGjWncFkrE_OG35vSkF/view?usp=drivesdk

In the log I switch to portrait mod (back camera) and take a shot. The viewfinder is frozen the whole time.
[Google Camera Mods] MattNoblett:
Likewise for me too - Portrait Mode crashes.

I can upload a log if you can advise how I do that?
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Same for me, portrait crashes and with regular shots I get random app crashes on both front and back cameras.

[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Yes, now it works. Well done guys!

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

The link is the same as before, from the cstark post
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Works fine now, thanks a lot!

What I already mentioned to Arnova8G2: when using enhanced HDR+, after the initial shot-taking circle animation there is another spinning circle animation

for the duration of background processing, which hinders from taking another shot until background processing is finished.

In the past we could disable this additional animation in the developer settings (cameraprogress_overlay), but the toggle has no effect anymore.

Another thing: ZSL HDR+ only takes the first shot when quickly tapping multiple times and only continues taking another shot when the initial processing is done.

Also trying to take too much shots will eventually crash the app.

I already provided the logs to Arnova for his previous release, do you want me to share them with you too?

Besides that, for me this is already daily-driver material. I shoot with enhanced HDR+ all the time anyway and didn't have a single crash in almost a week of testing.

Only thing is the circle animation, but I think this will be tackled eventually.

Just use the same link again and re-download the file.

There is no updated link, but the file on drive is updated.
[Google Camera Mods] mf117:
Is it better use this version with HDR+ enhanced or just hdr+?

Btw, keep it up guys, you all are doing quite well!! Everyday the camera is having a lot of improvement!!!
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Currently I do not have a lot of time or desire to dig into issues with GCam, but if I get time I can reproduce the errors reported and provide my own logs. Thank you though. I can reproduce your report on v5.3.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Sure, take your time. I can't imagine how time-consuming this might be. I'm already pretty satisfied as it is. Thanks again!
[Google Camera Mods] manudhomra:
That's true, currently its a huge improvement in the latest development, and what's matters the most that portrait mode is working tremendously good. Good luck [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] for your future builds. Hope to see slowmo working soon.
[Google Camera Mods] pretender17:
Thanks for the testing. Quick question. Are you just using the app as is or making any changes in the settings? Thanks
[Google Camera Mods] :
is there a version in which the bokeh effect works?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
- I enable the HDR+ toggle within the settings, so I can enable enhanced HDR+ in the viewfinder.

- Shadow saturation set to 1.4 (more true to life in my opinion).

- Resampling method set to "none" to take 16 MP shots with the back camera. Front camera is fixed at 4MP (OnePlus fault).

- Tuning back cam setup according to these posts:

You can also play with Auto-exposure to achieve better results in certain situations.

But if you don't really know what this is for, simply keep it at auto.

Latest arnova (pixel 3 v1.3) vs fu24

Both model nexus 6p. Arnova version has lower noise reduction in settings (the "best all around"). Fu24 has parameters on super high. Arnova version does not have setting regarding quality (e.g. low, medium etc) and fu24 does not have working denoise parameters.

I set the best settings for each camera regarding detail.

arnova_pixel3_v1.3 https://www.flickr.com/gp/148406140@N05/L30Bv9

fu24 https://www.flickr.com/gp/148406140@N05/w6vZJg

I know that it is not a fair test since the pixel3 version does not offer settings regarding parameters (e.g. low, medium, high etc) and obviously it is set to its default, i.e. low.

fu24 seems to perform better in low light because of the "super high" parameters
[Google Camera Mods] deezid:
Version 5.1 from September 30th produces way cleaner results with less artifacts and much more detail in low light.

Version 5.3 produces watercolor like images. Will upload some examples soon.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
If you take a closer look you will notice that the details in the 12 MP portrait mode shot aren't really better than with a regular 4 MP HDR+ selfie.

It is not real 12 MP.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] thank you for the recent activity with all the new versions.

I personally feel the image quality, details and noise are better on the latest 5.1 version than the 5.3 version.

5.1 works flawlessly with everything so far except for some reason I get app crashes on the front camera, not sure if it's just me or not.

Hi guys,

When I take a picture with front camera. For example: I tilt my head to the right. But the picture show that I tilt my head to the left.

Anyone run into this situation? If not, how can I fix this?

I installed version 5.3. And noticed that when zooming during a shot, the size of the image is small. At maximum zoom, the photo size is only 0.3 MP.
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
That's up to you to decide mate. I usually just use HDR+ enhanced cause of the better image quality.
[Google Camera Mods] Dark Crow:
The 5.3 does crash after 2-3 pictures on Zsl mode and I mage quality is set on High.
