1.Open gcam setting

2.save custom setting to

3.enter ur config name without .xml

4.after u save it will automatically create a folder inside ur root folder/GCam/Configs/yoursetting.xml

5.replace the xml file with new one

Or u can manually create the folder GCam/Configs at your root folder (sdcard), and put the xml file there.

To make sure you load that setting, double tap at black area outside cam view (around shutter button), and click restore.
[Google Camera Mods] Kazliux:
For this config by default gives 12Mpix in settings. Is it correct?
[Google Camera Mods] TerrorApple:
I have the issue that the viewfinder cuts off the image in the preview. I see much less of what I'm trying to capture in the viewfinder, than later after the photo is taken. Is there a setting I am missing, so that I see the complete image in the viewfinder?

I'm using MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_V1.3.030119.0645.apk with this XML: SG-28-2-XTRME20.xml (for OnePlus 6 obviously). Both from here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog371/

Please see attachments for reference. In the viewfinder for example you can't even see the backpack on the left, in the taken photo you can. I believe this wasn't the case with earlier versions?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
wow, massive difference. It doesn't happen with xtrme beta19 (still best porting, so far, IMHO).
[Google Camera Mods] Gugus38:
Indeed I just saw that, well I guess you just have to enable hdr then... ?
[Google Camera Mods] chavocarlos:
You shouldn't use XTREME20 XML (form GCam Xtreme version beta 20) with Arnova GCam version.

In this Telegram Group https://t.me/gcamxmlshare you should find properly XML for GCam Arnova 1.3 version, the numbers like 28-2 (SG-28-2) should mean the date of file, in your case you have a XML file for Xtreme GCam beta 20 with creation date on February 28th.

[Google Camera Mods] b4bass:
Hi I'm trying to use gcam as the default camera app on my Op6.

I've changed the setting option to default and I've disabled the whole op stock app completely. Unfortunately I can't have it to work from the shortcut icon in the lockscreen.

I've read that it had to be installed as a system app but I don't know how to do it.

I'm on oos pie with root.

Thx
[Google Camera Mods] Urnyx05:
New version of GCam 6.1.021 from Urnyx05 is out!

Changelog:

- Added shortcuts (thanks BackRider and Arnova)

- Added the option to show/hide manual focus slider

- Improved a bit quality in low light

- Cleaned up code (don't worry, it hasn't become the new "General bug fixes and improvements" XD)

Here is the link:

https://mega.nz/#!ouJ0TIDD!u4kBaeYF7ybtw_ta-1h9RZ4IXlPWxDBGWW4HNpOpi7s

WARNING:

- Photos on HDR+ Enhanced won't work with Black Level Offset to 0, use 150.
[Google Camera Mods] knnniigit:
I'm using OP6 with:

MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_V1.3.030119.0645.apk

SG-28-2-XTRME20.xml

Two questions:

- In Configs > Advanced > Base; the model of the back camera is set for Nexus 6P

Why not Pixel 3, for example? What is best about nexus 6p?

- Also, HDR+ parameters is set for 9. Why not more?

Besides these, are there any other interesting config I should be aware of?
[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
What's the optimal settings .XML to go with this? Cautious that with the code cleanup some things may have changed.

Hello there !

I am not that knowledgeable person but someone please guide me which is the best Gcam out there? Especially the stable one that doesnt crash. and could you please share the download link too.

Thanks in advance guys !

After a while I can't take pictures anymore unless I restart my phone or reset the app. I'm using v6.1.021 with default settings on OP6

Thanks.

PS: Everything else is working, except photos.
[Google Camera Mods] samsz:

[Google Camera Mods] Hellsigh:
Any idea what's the difference really between the version?

I mean there's like 3 main dev's version... Arnova's, Xtreme and Urnyx05.
[Google Camera Mods] KamoPL:
Can someone say if the Google Camera (xtrem beta 20) is better than OnePlus camera app? If yes, how much better?
[Google Camera Mods] samsz:
Okay, the issues are gone after disabling motion pictures.
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
GCam is clearly better in light other than daylight, and the same or better in daylight. The reason is the algorithm - GCam continuously shoots, and when you press the shutter button it processes the shot history to give you the best bits. It's impossible to tell how much better because stock cam very much depends on the version. Eg I liked 3.0.21 for picture qualuty but in 3.0.32 they decided that an insane level of NR is a good idea.
[Google Camera Mods] KamoPL:
And when it comes to manual/pro mode? What would you use?
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
Still GCam. Imo pro mode has a little less NR but this is still too much for my taste. Oneplus, of course, could expose it if they cared about customers.
[Google Camera Mods] Yiouuhh:

viewfinder false zoom

I'm using OP6 with:

MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_V1.3.030119.0645.ap k

SG-28-2-XTRME20.xml

I have one issue. The screen's image (viewfinder?) is much cropped than to the photo I take. The photo captures a lot more in comparison to what I saw in the screen before.

Any way to fix this?
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
I had the same. Try this config (not whats on screenshots), which is said to be good. The pictures shot with it are excellent - here are examples.
[Google Camera Mods] knnniigit:
Thank you. I am unable to download the xml from that forum, can you please post it here?
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
Previously I also managed to solve the viewfinder crop problem with some old xml called OP6.
[Google Camera Mods] knnniigit:
Thanks man. I actually had that same OP6.xml as well, but figured there would be a newer one, perhaps better, by now.
[Google Camera Mods] Crazy32:
Hey guys, i have one question. uses the gcam the optical zoom of the op6 back cam? with the original op6 cam app i can tap on the 1x-button and the zoom changes to 2x optical zoom. is this possible with the gcam? and if i manually zoom with the 2 finger gestures, uses the gcam the optical zoom to 2x?
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
Over the weekend I did some comparisons of my Op6 to my old Op3 using the latest stock camera version. I am deeply dissapointed: Op6 cosnistently gives worse quality than Op3. Shame on you Oneplus!

[IMG="Comparison"]https://dl.xda-developers.com/4/7/2/6/7/9/9/Op3_vs_Op6.jpg?key=YnuK0nFAELw7JSoEW9KE_g&ts=1552983685[/IMG]
[Google Camera Mods] Jerewie:
You should disable the HDR option (activated by default) on the OP6, you will gain in every parts... essentially sharp and realistic colors
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
This is a video comparison. The HDR toggle has no impact on recorded videos.
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
Yes, there is no option to switch off HDR for video. I wonder how they got a reasonably high DxO mark for video. Probably after a chunk of money went the way of the website.
[Google Camera Mods] Jerewie:
My bad ! I was focused on picture mod xD

Then you right ! It's look better on the op3 !

Did you try with 60 fps ? cose the IES may change the quality ;o
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
I did - same result.

60fps is the only reason I am playing with stock cam. If GCam supported 60 fps, I'd happily ditch the stock.

In 4K the video quality in stock cam is obviousely better than in 1080p. But 4K makes too large files (1GB per min) and is limited by 5 minutes. I did not compare Op6 4K of Op3 4K though.

My theory is that the video is processed at half resolution and then upsampled. It definitely looks this way on my crop. Why would they do it, when the phone has plenty of power, is beyond me. Maybe by mistake. Anyway the person responsible for Oneplus6 camera app is either blind or stupid. This is obviousely a software issue cause GCam videos are fine (just not 60 fps).
[Google Camera Mods] GeoVali99:
Fun fact: With Arnova's Advanced 1.4, you can switch to the secondary rear camera, which honestly takes incredible pictures in low light, but it limits at 5MP and there is a weird dotted texture on the photos (In normal lighting, at least)

Take a look here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uW164ihVnF5W1WkDA
[Google Camera Mods] robertusIT:
Better version link for my op6 ?

[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
Every time I click on a photo after I've taken it, using any version of the mod, Google Photos crashes and goes back to the main screen of Google Photos, and not the photo I had selected. Is there a way to fix it? Not a complete crash, which is weird. I also frequently have motion photo crash a photo loading. Pressing play in Google Photos crashes some photos, others are fine.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
I've just disabled Google photo as image viewer. Use the preview visualization, it's faster, never crashes and you don't need any fancy options when taking photos. Google photo just won't work stable and properly.

So go to options and disable the troggle called ENABLE "GOOGLE PHOTO".

Im using MGC_6.1.021_xcam_5_beta20 and using your xml config. But i encounter problem sending videos recorded using your xml. Do you have a work around for this?

Found it. Just untick H. 265/HEVC format
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Beta19 Is the best port out there. No other devs got the gcam working to that level. Just use Marian XML and you be amazed. I tried beta 20 but I went back to 19 because it works perfectly. Never crashes, no lost files, top quality
[Google Camera Mods] dnnsmrnd:
and by marian xml you mean Marian---XLib2s---P3XL---AWB.xml?

but i must say beta20 is really snappy when taking pictures.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Yes and the N6P too. Both last XML.

I'm so happy. I think that will be very hard for me going to other releases. Beta19 works ALL THE TIMES and does a wonderful job.

The only issue in beta19 is focusing with night mode. But, every release have that problem. So I set my mind to: "if you don't want that issue go get a pixel3". LMAO.

I'm very happy right now.

So when i talk about gcam (every version i have ever tested) I only refear to photos.

[Google Camera Mods] selw0nk:
Have you tried Xtreme beta 20.3? New libs were added. Still I use xlib2s.

Srgb lib in 20.3

20.x all without manual focus

20.1 xlib2.1 and xlib2.1s

(but they are bad on op6/t)

20.2 eszdman3.1 and savitar v5

20.3 changed savitar to srgb
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Your thoughts regarding the comparison between beta19 and 20.3? I'm mostly concerned on speed and stability.
[Google Camera Mods] selw0nk:
Beta 19 stable and fast, 20.3 seems the same with added new libs that I do no use. You can test it for yourself and see what you think. These are the final version since the dev moved on to the Xiaomi Mi 9. I feel like xtreme is outdated now. Arnova and SG update their XML's in every new release.
[Google Camera Mods] kermirz:
In my apk work too, but when i open video on gallery, it is crashed
[Google Camera Mods] selw0nk:

Hello everybody....

I have a couple of bothering questions about gcam in oneplus 6

Green Tint keeps coming back

Hey everyone! The app works great, except for one small thing.

Every time I open the app (after having it closed) the interface seems to have reset to the Nexus 6P interface. Instead of portrait mode I get 'Lens Blur', and everytime I try to take pictures with my front camera I get the green tint.

The only fix I could think of is to go into Advanced Settings, change the Front Camera to something else and then come back to change it back to Nexus 6P. This fixes the green tint and interface.

It's kinda annoying to have to reset my settings every single time I open the app, does anyone have a fix for this? That would really help! Thanks!

I'm on the 6T.
[Google Camera Mods] oneplus_tester_21:
So, now we should use GCam for photo and stock cam for video? 'cause 60 fps in GCam not working even in 1080p. beta19.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Yes I do. Video stabilization is way Better in stock camera. Just Open the camera and try to do and video while you are walking and make a comparison.
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
But the clarity of video in the stock camera is just crap. I did comparisons here and here.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
If I need quality I'll use a professional camera I own. For WhatsApp video sharing stock camera is the better option since I'm not filming landscapes but my son running wild and climbing everywhere. Stabilization is a must for me and stock is way better that gcam even though the quality is lower. Incidentally I'll use 720p even on stock. So quality is not really a concern to me. I don't have any interest in having 1,4gb for just one video. With my son I do photos and videos all day long. They must be reasonable in file dimensions.

Guys everyone has different needs. Just try out what's works for you.
[Google Camera Mods] ahacker:
Something tells me that you never checked the option "Video stabilization" in GCam.

I too value stabilisation, but my impression is that it is similar in GCam and stock. I am pretty sure that the hardware stabilisation use is the same by GCam and stock (camera software cannot control this hi-speed process). It's, however, possible that the stock camera does additional software stabilisation, and therefore needs to halve the resolution. And thus we get crap quality that is lower than three generations back.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Yes it's checked. I told you: open both camera apps and do a video while walking. It's nothing impossible or worth andegree.

[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Someone told me good things about beta20.3 but to be honest I'm very happy about 19. It's stable like the original pixel release and image quality is wonderful if you use Marian's XML.

Hope that someone will eventually do magic with 6.2 but, to be honest, at the moment I don't feel any urge to change version. Beta19 just works 100%.

I had only one very rare issue making viewfinder freeze when switching to front camera. But you just switch back and forth and it's solved. Again, this happened like 3 times in months of very intense using. To me could not even be due to the gcam app.
