Just a question if anybody has an idea (And if Arnova can answer that would be freaking wonderful).

Is the Gcam for Android 9 on the list of things being worked on right now, or is the developer(s) waiting for the official Android 9 for Oneplus 6 to come out first before trying (which is the smarter choice imo)?

I just want to make sure first cause I am planning on downgrading to 8.1 (which will wipe my system) so i dont want to regret doing that then find out a day later that a fix was made lol.
[Google Camera Mods] masalinasm:
It's similar, IMO it's worse than OOS 5.11.
[Google Camera Mods] romaninja:
There is any new news? The Port project died? I didn't saw any update from the development for awhile and OP6 is stuck now between the pie versions to oreo
[Google Camera Mods] Jack_Sparrow_:
I guess they are waiting for pixel 3 launch
[Google Camera Mods] athris:
i find out this version of gcam will be able to run on oneplus 6 P beta 2 version with regular hdr image. However, there's an issue with image turn out having red background.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-14b.apk

it will be nice if one of our oneplus 6 gcam developer( [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION], [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]) take a look and see if it can get it fix on op6.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
This version is broken in various ways:

Random freezes, color glitches, endless processing...
[Google Camera Mods] athris:
i know it is broken, but at least the app can run and take picture (Better than crash when app opened). that's why i am wondering will that be good starting point to see if those issue can be fixed and work on op6.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
We already have a version which works on Open Beta 2. It is also buggy, but way less than this one.

Edit: don't get me wrong, nothing against posting another version.

I was just saying that it is extremely buggy.
[Google Camera Mods] athris:
you mean the one that post on first post? (OP6_N6_GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk)

i tried this one too, it freeze within 3 pictures, that's why i keep trying different version.
[Google Camera Mods] Antretng:
I noticed that the biggest focus problem is when you shoot against lights (I am talking for low light pictures). In such situations it will never focus (while stock camera focuses without problem).

I hope that the devs can find a solution :)
[Google Camera Mods] robertusIT:
I installed [OP6_test_1.2.2_GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-Test-focus-1]

But for me in my OP6, photos are with less details than stock camera, is normal?

Live preview, so when you open camera, you can see less details, a lot sharpness, and when you take a picture, you can see less details especially in zoom.

Is normal?
[Google Camera Mods] mf117:
Really? I'm now in that port and for my is far better than stock camera. Are you open the image in the stock gallery? You should open the image on Google photos.
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
OnePlus 6 Android Pie Beta 3 has been released, and nothing seems to have changed from beta 1.

Pixel2Mod works for a few quick shots. Pixel3Mod gives a "Fatal error" and when you close the error message you can se "Can't con.."-something flash by.

As previously stated, you can record video on Pixel3Mod if you use the launcher shortcut. You can get into the settings from there. But I've yet to find anything to stop the photo mode from crashing.
[Google Camera Mods] itsmohsink:
Yeah its crashing too much hope it will be fixed soon as we are getting near to the Pie Stable release soon.
[Google Camera Mods] Jack_Sparrow_:
I'm a bit upset in op camera since open beta... It's far worse then oreo. I hope gcam port will solve this issue :(
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
At least there's absolutely nothing wrong with the pictures from Pixel2Mod on Android Pie Beta 3. I just close and reopen the app every one or two shots. It's inconvenient but the phone is at least quick to do so.

Stock cam is still a horrible mess of lost details, oversharpening and artifacts. I seriously doubt that they know what they're doing.

[Google Camera Mods] kameyojodido:
I think I don't get it

Spoiler content hidden.

So I am sorry if this is answered in one of the last 1.000 posts, but what version should I download? :o

[IMG="gcam_op6_01"]https://i.imgur.com/qFgtW10.png[/IMG]

I don't have installed the Android P beta in my OP6, so I guess I shouldn't download the first link right? :fingers-crossed:

[IMG="gcam_op6_02"]https://i.imgur.com/064hd9d.png[/IMG]

But here is my question, what is the difference between those options? Which one is the one I should donwload? :eek:
[Google Camera Mods] pepa 77:
See the description of all products and choose what you want to use on the camera.
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Those are the last and more stable versions, download and install one of them. It seems that test-focus-2 has a bit faster focus, but there's not big difference. Image quality between 1 and 2 is the same.
[Google Camera Mods] karthik1der:
This thread is almost dead now it seems. It used to be so active with dev releases every week

[Google Camera Mods] Vkboy:
Brother don't you know what happened to arnova? He came through a accident and he was the main dev here. That's why no new releases. :crying:
[Google Camera Mods] Chinaroad:
Get well Arnova
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Yes unfortunately I received a message about Arnova8G2 and his development may stop for a while, I'm guessing a month or 2 or longer. I am at my limit on what I can do for the OnePlus 6 issues myself so that is where we are at today. I am moving from the OP6 within the next few weeks anyway. I hope Arnova has a speedy recovery for his own personal sake!
[Google Camera Mods] Jack_Sparrow_:
I don't know if [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] will ever read this post, but I really wish him a speedy recovery. Get well soon mate!!!

This thread sure is going off-topic but this cannot be said enought:

Get well, [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]! Focus on what's important – your life. Thank you for all so far!

Quick question to [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]:

I've thinking about how one version of Pixel2Mod stayed somewhat stable on OP6 Pie Beta1-3. Could it be because that version is set to use HDR+ Enhanced from the start? I can't recall that it was on my old Google Pixel. Could the latest and perhaps more stable version be set up the same way?
[Google Camera Mods] daleski75:
What phone are you moving to? Pixel 3 XL?
[Google Camera Mods] Mord0rr:
I dont know you, but a little OFF here: Get well!
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Google Camera 5.2 and up (Pixel3Mod is based on v5.3) removed the Nexus 6 (and other Nexus models), which is most likely why the OP6_N6_v5.1.018 version works. I admit I haven't even looked at the crash log on OP6 Open Beta, but I don't have time for now to dig into it. There's some kind of weird feeling (lag/touch latency) with the Open Beta that makes me downgrade within 12 hours. I'm sorry.

Still can't decide if I want to try iOS after so many years of Android or get the Pixel 3 (NON-XL) and see how GCam on it can be modded. Please don't let this comment derail this thread.
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
No problem at all, thank you for clarifying!
[Google Camera Mods] xeltos:
Can we have update dates like before? In the op post I mean. So I can now if its been updated with just a glance.

Also the apk for pie beta 1 does not work on pie beta 3.

Hoping devs will soon crack the issue. Best of luck.
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Works fine here on beta 3. Make sure u clear cache and storage right after you install the apk.
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
Just installed the final and stable Oneplus 6 Android Pie update. Everything works as in Beta 1–3:

OP6_N6_v5.1.018 is working with both front and rear camera. Focus it fast (needs to be tested more, only tested indoor at night). Takes 1–5 shots before crashing and holding on to the camera for a while before it can be used again.

The Pixel 3 Mod still crashes before it can even show the viewfinder.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I believe that stable Pie and Open Beta 3 are more or less the same build.

Both have been compiled the same day according to the filenames.

And I don't think it is a coincidence that Open Beta 3 suddenly passes safetynet and is shown as verified in the Play Store

at the same day the stable OTA is released.

It is even reported that stable Pie is shown as being an older build when using the Updater within OOS Beta 3.
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
Yeah, it was odd going back to a previous stable version (with reset) to be able to update.. But they seems to have improved swiping between apps and the Google Pixel 2 Live Wallpapers doesn't crash anymore – they're just black. So I guess they did something.

I also tried installing the latest unmodified Google Camera as well (which is purely wishful thinking on my part..) and it crashed before I even saw the app open.

So it would seem that we're stuck here for a while: Android Pie with Pixel2Mod with fast focus and HDR+ Enhanced only. Or you stay on Android Oreo with slow/unreliable focus and both ZSL and HDR+ Enhanced on both Pixel2Mod and Pixel3Mod. Or you do that Pixel Experience thingy that I know nothing about..

Anyone know of an online course in smali code..? (^_^') I *might* be able to fix this with a few years of trying.
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
Hahaha count me in for that course

There is a build out there by BSG for the Mi8 that can be modified just slightly to run on the OP6. It is a bit buggy still but all hope is not lost. Oh ya, this build has Pixel ZSL AND fast focus, on Pie. Just a small update.
[Google Camera Mods] mf117:
Can work on Pie or just Oreo?

bsgfix-GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk

-Ported some fixes from BSG, he is working on a Mi 8 and some of his changes for that phone transfer well to ours

--fixes the ZSL crash on Pie for us, and the focus seems to be quite a bit better than before

--perhaps due to our device, the preview window can be a little jittery in certain scenarios when using ZSL mode (is fine with HDR+ Enhanced).

-You may need to open and force close it a couple times before it starts behaving

No, Portrait Mode doesn't work. :cowboy:

Thank you very much!
[Google Camera Mods] Antretng:
Simple hdr+ (I mean zsl) in terms of detail seems to be as good as hdr+ enhanced with the parameters set on high. :) The focus seems to be faster with less crashes. However the denoise parameters of miniuser seems that they do not work. Furthermore, the selection of Nexus 6p model do not work either (does not shot pictures when enabled). I don't know if it can help, but the latest of fu24 has working model nexus 6p but only for simple hdr+ (the hdr+ enhanced do not work).

It is certainly better than the previous version. Thank you for your work. Cheers! :D
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
I can confirm the same for auto flash.

These are "hacked" apps to work on phones they were not designed/programmed to run on. There will be problems due to that.

Nexus 6P Model hasn't worked on various phones I've had, except for the front camera. I do not know why. I'll double check a log though.

Which fu24 version? Very very few versions work on the OP6 because it needs "special" tweaks and most other mods don't have that. It's possible the app is loading a non-HDR+ config, which usually works. Please confirm HDR+ is being processed on the ZSL N6P by using an Exif Viewer and looking at the Software tag.
[Google Camera Mods] Antretng:
The 4 latest versions all worked. Now I updated to this one and still works (only simple hdr+, not enhanced).

Here is a shot from the app. https://www.flickr.com/gp/148406140@N05/m2F3Y3

According to the exif, there is hdr+ (i.e. Software - HDR+ 1.0.198487984z)
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Did you share this before in the thread? I didn't think it'd work without modifying anything but it did lol. :good:

I think it was mentioned before. Yeap, it works. But it needs some wb correction (there is green tint) and the hdr+ enhanced does not work. I hope this will help :)

Furthermore we now have working Model Nexus 6p with more detail!!! Probably the best version for Pie. :D|

Edit: I think that it shots a little bit smaller resolution than stock and other gcams (4000*3000). Not a big problem. Just for report :)
[Google Camera Mods] mf117:
Thanks a lot for the support! The camera is the best!

I'd like to comment that this version keeps crashing when I take around 3-5 photos, I'm using HDR+ enhanced, that could be a Problem? Also, I clear the cache. I attached some photos so you can see the problem

The most recent version is Arnova's latest stable version and I ported BSG's Portrait and Taimen config fixes. To get BSG's MI8 builds to not crash, one has to remove the Google Taimen lines from ihk.

Hey [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] , thank you so much for the recent update. everything is working fine(except the slow mo which is not at all a priority for now). in earlier arnova builds where portrait mode used to freeze but takes 12mp photos. in your recent build, even the portrait photos are restricted to 4mp. just wanted to let you know about this restriction and thank you for making op6 a better device :)

[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
So I think the workaround for the resolution can only work on 5.3. Unless I did it wrong when I tried it on 5.1 builds. And since the changes to these Pixel/Portrait configs are so extensive, lengthy, and incomprehensible to me, we will just have to wait. The good news is I know Arnova8G2 has already a working 5.3 build for Pie.
[Google Camera Mods] avivasaf:
Front camera perfect results, much better sharpness from op6 camera, rear camera ok, but in low light the sharpness of op6 camera is better, what is your recommended setup options for better sharpness rear camera?
[Google Camera Mods] Antretng:
Do you have model nexus 6p enabled?

In extreme low light stock camera reduces the shutter speed to 1/5 and has high sharpening. As a result, it may be better. Nevertheless, in most situations, this version with model nexus 6p, parameters super high and hdr+ enhanced gives better results. I have posted some comparison shots (look previus page).

At least now we have some nice working versions of gcam for android 9. I am more than happy with them (especially now that I can use model nexus 6p :D ). I am really thankfull for your work!

So we will wait for Arnova to fully recover from his injury (which is the most important) and then hopefully with his fixes we may exploit the full resolution of the camera. :)

[Google Camera Mods] etaPlease:
Front camera photos are only 4mp. Any workaround?
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
it has always been 4mp. It has something to do with raw output of front camera. you might get 12mp front photos if you use portrait mode in the future as it has been made possible earlier to have 12mp front portrait photos.
