As a lot of people said, the main objective for arnova, cstark and savitar now is to bring the best possible camera to take photos. They are already working hard to make HDR+ and the focus work on SP845 devices. Videos in 60fps are one of the last things that is probably going to be fixed, after more stability to the rear camera and front camera, portrait and maybe AR stickers.
[Google Camera Mods] v4uluv2004:
Yes I had this on my oneplus 3 and pictures indeed came super fine after scaling it to Super high. Don't remember using it on oneplus 6 though with gcam.
[Google Camera Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
This is still the old version of 5.1.18
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
The version is just a number. The final picture quality is more important.

But what's about

Enabling in the dark will lead to tint ?!

I still can't get the front camera to work. Every time I switched to the front camera the app crashes, I can't even use the stock camera app. Restarting the devices fix the issue, but still I can't get the front camera working. What did I do wrong?

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] so either we need to enable and to disable according to the environment?
[Google Camera Mods] JimRockford:
[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]: Ok, thanks, I'm experiencing the same. But your photo with stock camera, you did it with "HDR on"!? If you change it to "HDR Auto" or "HDR off", it will be like the first GCam photo.
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
I'm not getting a tint anymore in all the same environments I was getting tint at since 1.2.2.

[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
You can disable in all the environment it works well.

I use HDR auto mode, I'll do tests with HDR on

[Google Camera Mods] prokiller1199:
how about slow motion?
[Google Camera Mods] Paz9:
any comparisons between this and the stock app
[Google Camera Mods] JimRockford:
Great work so far. But I hope it will be possible to fix focus and zoom. At the moment, GCam is no daily driver for me because focus is laggy (although it is better than before) und zoom is sometimes unusable.
[Google Camera Mods] qvert:
for the portraid mode,

maybe we need something like this available for the op5/5t etc?

to install via magisk a customized camera fix?

[Google Camera Mods] panthimanshu:
I agree... superb but for me focus is really giving me a hard time. Most of the time it don't manage to settle on the subject. I am using version 5.3.015.199570961.
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
dude...arnova,cstark and defcomg are well aware of this fix. ?? . front camera hdr+ wasn't working without root but in op6, front camera hdr+ does work without root. maybe we can get portrait mode without rooting

[Google Camera Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
The constant cashes of Fc is annoying, do u change the settings from 0.4 and 1.7?
[Google Camera Mods] Zurhal:
Front camera in my opinion is better than stock. Faces have better colors and more details. Rear camera do more black photos and more noisy. Fist stock secound gcam (zoom)

But you must know that i am not expert :D

Thanks Arnova for your hard job.

[Google Camera Mods] noheadphonejack:
No settings changed, and front cam never crash for me.

So figured out a way..

1) Open Gcam and click 2 random photos from rear cam

2) Then just simply switch to the front, and it should work normal.

IF crashes, then open camera app again (not from prompt) and repeat steps 1 and 2.

This always works for me (on the latest versions)
[Google Camera Mods] Dark Crow:
To get around the front cam crashing (which happens to my Gcam version occationally) i just install 2 of these camera apps. The 22 july Op6 i believe is what i am uaing now (from the 29 june build) the front cam works there perfectly so i use it when i take selfies.
[Google Camera Mods] zer0xp:
Focus is greatly improved in the latest build. Great work OP, thank you very much
[Google Camera Mods] Fayad_:
Thanks a lot for this one. I'm using it mainly for the front camera. The stock selfie camera has become a mess now, they ruin it with every update.
[Google Camera Mods] Batfink33:
Stock camera is a mess front and back. This is almost a dd if focus gets sorted!
[Google Camera Mods] Lord Alpha:
[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] I'm still having tinting issues. I'm using the latest build with these settings. I also have Camera.enable_micro unselected. Though I doubt if it makes any difference. Please help.
[Google Camera Mods] Dendis:
I have a question

Do any of you guys use Gcam as main camera already? Or you still prefer the stock one?
[Google Camera Mods] Dark Crow:
I never owned seen or held a pixel device before so can someone tell me how fast it Auto focus is say compared to the galaxy S9?

Im just curious i thought it takes longer to focus bec it processes pictures more.

Right now for me this app is so close to being perfect. Only if the AF is faster, doesnt lock up if you stay in camera w/o taking pics and succesively take pics without locking up.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

[/COLOR]

I actually use 3 cam apps interchangeably right now. The gcam for still/static photos, stock for moving or need a quick capture and some selfies and the other Gcam ver for selfies (the reg gcam front cam freezes on me at times) [/QUOTE]
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
disable "fix blacklevel".

For OP6 you just need to install app and use it, there are no more settings to make or to display the HDR + enable "Option HDR +"
[Google Camera Mods] alessa:
Hello.

Thanks for your great work!

I have a Nokia 7plus and your app work perfectly , but i have 2 request/question:

1. Its possible to add the audio OZO or just boost the sound captured with the caméra?

2. Its possible to add the zoom X2 fonction with the second caméra .

Thanks.
[Google Camera Mods] VibolFTW:
Your question better be ask at Nokia 7 Plus forum
[Google Camera Mods] NoobSHISH:
This is not the thread for the Nokia 7 Plus, so don't post anything about it.

1 - it is a very device specific feature so probably not, this port is more or less compatible with the sp845 which your phone doesn't even have.

2 - maybe there could be some modifications in the future using the multiple camera API but I guess it will take a lot of time if it is even possible.

And please, stop posting about other phones. This is an OP6 only thread. Post about other devices only if requested directly by the devs to help them.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Pixel 2 focus is as fast as the stock OP6 camera app (ie, really fast).
[Google Camera Mods] Dark Crow:
I see, thanks for the answer.

It was kinda embarrasing. the other day we had this guy take a photo of us and i used this app. It started not focusing properly and locked up in his hands lol ended up using the stock :\

Heres me rooting then for a near stock AF speed then.
[Google Camera Mods] zer0xp:
The Pixel 2 laser autofocus is incredibly fast, and it seems to be on point every time. I would say it's the fastest AF I've ever seen on a mobile device. OP is quick but is nowhere near as a fast or accurate as p2xl.
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
You can try the third APK linked in the OP (the MGC one), but I find it rather unstable compared to Arnova's latest versions. It has faster focus however.
[Google Camera Mods] itsmohsink:
I just hope Portrait Mode will come soon!!

Cause on Note 8 portrait mode was awesome while using GCam.
[Google Camera Mods] JimRockford:
Indeed! Focus is fast, seems to be stable and accurate.

But why? Is it not possible to get this solution for the two "OnePlus-APK"?

Anyway, as you said, it is very unstable...

By the way: Why are there so different options in the settings of these three apps?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
It uses the Nexus 6 config. Somehow each config effects focus differently for each phone. But probably more importantly, motion photos is also disabled which fixes it in Arnova's Pixel2Mod, but it's unusable as the viewfinder freezes. BSG makes the MGC version with his own take on settings, and Arnova makes the top 2 versions but they are based on different Google Camera versions. Each GCam release has wildly different code and methods so every new setting has to be adopted to the new versions. It's a lot of work.
[Google Camera Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
I am currently using this https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.3.015_A7.0+.apk and indeed the pictures quality looks better just as the new release of ArnovaG82 latest version

Thanks for the clarification. honestly i really like to own a pixel device its just that its too expensive, huge and not that pretty.

Because pixel and nexus have 12 mp or less and Google camera is made for pixel

You read my thoughts, I managed to make portrait mode work.

The preview is still slow, but the capture after pressing shutter works with both photos.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

I recently got the red OP6 myself. Do you need more logs to improve/fix the focus speed?

Any progress or clues regarding that?

As the selfie camera is limited to only 4 MP with this mod, is this the same "cause" as on the OP3T?
[Google Camera Mods] vrda08:
Good progress in latest update.. only hate focus..
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
For the focus I try to add that of the config nexus6 that works well.

For the front camera, RAW format is limited to 2304x1728

Edit:

For those who want to take a test the portrait mode

The preview is still slow, but the capture after pressing shutter works with both photos and adding auto exposure

I really would like to know opinions from others. Thank you!
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
hey arnova, in op5/5t, when we take portrait photos from front camera, the photos are in 16mp. It is only when we take normal photos, the resolution is restricted to 4mp. can similar be done to op6 where we can have 16mp front photos in portrait mode atleast?
[Google Camera Mods] rzozaya1969:
No. It's not stable enough. For taking pics of people, I use the default camera because gcam is still slow to focus, and sometimes it won't work. If I lend my phone to my wife or friends to take a pic of us, I use the stock camera. Also, it can take around 5 or 6 pics before it stops taking more and I need to go to gallery and back to take another one.

What I would need gcam to have to use as a default camera is being more stable and improving focusing speed.
[Google Camera Mods] NxPleXy:
Think you're forgetting this is for the OP6
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
I like gcam for the details on the pictures that stock doesn't have.

Make comparisons.

[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
Portrait mode uses raw mode for processing is save in jpeg format (4000x3000)
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
nope...i am not...since op5 had same 4mp restriction as op6 which later got solved in op5/5t,i thought the same can be done for op6, but it was just a wild guess. i am not saying that it should be possible.

I use 1.2.2 as my main camera now, back camera is perfect as long as u know what u r doing (of focus takes too long just tap to focus). Front cam is so much better than stock, specially with the denoise settings, it crashes every once in a while in bright light but works again right away.
[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
At the moment, portrait mode does not work, what works is the ability to capture pictures in portrait mode.

I post them in test version and to use the Auto Exposure mode, not in a version usable with portrait mode, but for test.
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
install apk,clear cache and data,reboot the device,switch to front camera and then switch to portrait mode. your viewfinder will be stucked,but you can still press the shutter to take the photo. hope this helps

talking about portrait mode, thank god we do have 12mp front camera photos now. the 12mp is not a gimmick or something like that. the quality is legit and superior to that of 4mp front normal hdr+ photos. thank you arnova. btw google camera often crashes whenever we switch to front camera and the focus hunting is still there. If this 2 starts working, this will be the perfect one and will be my daily driver camera app.

I fear that the problem with tint isn't solved completely.

Here are three pictures (I cut them out, these are not the full pictures, nevertheless the problem is obviously).

First stock, second GCam (Arnova v1.2.2 without blacklevel fix), third Gcam (with blacklevel fix).

Stock is alright, GCam without blacklevel fix is too dark and too blue, GCam with blacklevel fix ist too red, but brightness is ok, comparable to stock.

The building / landscape outside is alright on all three photos, focus was always on the building.
[Google Camera Mods] JimRockford:
The pictures:
[Google Camera Mods] CommanderROR:
The second one looks best to me. First is yellowish and overblown. Third one has blown out highlights and a reddish tint.
[Google Camera Mods] JimRockford:
But in reality, there was more yellow than blue ...
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Yes it's the same for me too. Happens on really high contrast scenes.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

Maybe this could be tackled by implementing black level calibration like some 5.1 mods used to have.
[Google Camera Mods] xeltos:
I just got my OP6. Updated it to 5.1.9 and then installed the GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1.apk

It worked fine till night when I was on the street and tried to take photos. It just was not able to focus at all. All I can see was blobs of lights.
[Google Camera Mods] zer0xp:
Focus hunting is still a huge problem with the Gcam mod on the OP6
[Google Camera Mods] xeltos:
In the first post it says known issue as portrait mode locking up. That's why I installed it. Sad. Would have to wait for it.
[Google Camera Mods] Mord0rr:

[Google Camera Mods] eldar9208:

[Google Camera Mods] mvedanth:
:svetius: that's a step up!
[Google Camera Mods] kyleruggles:
This is great! but still doesn't capture HDR in my eyes, compared to Gcam on my OnePlus 3, it still beats it on the 6. It's more of a "look" that's replicated with this versions release but without much of the benefits of true HDR.

Can't wait till the Pixel 3 comes out, when Gcam can make use of the SD845 proc.
[Google Camera Mods] sarus_b:
My thoughts exactly .. The google cam ported from pixel 3 will make lot of difference. Current GCam is optimised for sd820/1 and is suited for that system. Stock camera clicks way better than HDR pictures than the ported one.

Cant wait to see magic when Pixel 3 Gcam gets ported :)
[Google Camera Mods] kyleruggles:
Agreed! Oneplus did tweak their HDR algorithm quite a bit though, does kinda have that pixel look now, in my eyes. HDRa is good, but HDR on is such a blotchy mess I think.

Honestly I don't need gcam now, but we love to tweak so! Can't help but be interested.

I just wish we tweak the noise reduction more. I'd love if oneplus just gave us more control ya know? At least a toggle to go from simple to advanced mode for peeps who really want to tweak, like jpg compression, sharpening, noise reduction, color profiles etc.

Anyhoo I'm babbling heh
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Oh I think we need this port very much, especially when taking photos of people.

The stock camera is ridiculously bad in this regard and the only thing making me still use it is the buggy focus with Gcam.

Proof

https://photos.app.goo.gl/94dHG3Jf2uzRBnow8

She wasn't even moving!

And I must say that HDR+ processing is actually on par with the OP3 when using similar settings

and getting the focus right (often way too hard).

As already pointed out above my post, OnePlus did a good job with dynamic range and when shooting static objects it does a good job. Add moving subjects and fine details and all you get is blur.

[Google Camera Mods] robotzki:
Colour reproduction is near perfect with latest build for me. Gcam beats stock when it comes to detail and contrast, low light images are on a whole other level in comparison to stock , but still show some amount of noise.

No more tinting issues for me.

Focussing has improved with latest build, but still needs more improvement.

Stock 2nd
