I don't think any of us know what all those settings do or mean, but it doesn't mean you can't fiddle around with them to see what they do .if you screw something up you have the option to wipe the apps cache and data and start over.I am glad that others post their settings in hopes to help us improve ours, but reading his post, I think he just meant to build upon that and find what is optimal for you. That's all..He shouldn't be expected or have to report every change he makes to his settings for the rest of us, it is our jobs to find what we think works best for us, whether we fully understand what they do or not. These are ports and sometimes things need to be tweaked on a per-device basis to get the optimal settings and that work best for the individual.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
totally agree.
[Google Camera Mods] lijun0326:
Thanks for your project. But I it seems not working properly on my phone. It just exit after asking for permissions. I'm using OOS 9.0.2. Any solution?
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Did you unistalled properly other version? Sure you dl the good one? https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_Final.apk
[Google Camera Mods] crokicio:
I installed the version for op5t. But if you take pictures with a front camera, you'll see purple liee
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
This was exactly my intention with my post. Thanks for your response.

[MENTION=9520625]MetalSir[/MENTION] (and anyone else asking)

Don't worry, I don't feel offended or disrespected by your posts.

Same as for you, it is basically trial and error for me. I don't always know what these settings do and some of them aren't even meant for our device.

Remember, this is a collaboration-apk by BSG, TlnNeun and Arnova8G2, each working on another device.

You just have to remember certain things (settings and what they cause) at some point by reading, trying, reading, trying and lots of reading.

For example things like motion metering, RAW setting, and the basic app-setup are "set in stone" for now, until some major fix happens.

Either by the devs or OnePlus. So what I call the "base-setting", these I don't touch anymore.

Don't worry, once something changes within the app which needs new settings, I am always happy to help and share the news.

Another info to my settings: RAW10 fixes selfie crashes (from what I experienced so far), but causes greenish tint on the rear camera.

That is due to a limitation with YUV. Arnova said there is a bug with the YUV format, which is the format the Pixel 3 is using by design.

That one also works without issues on the OP3, but not so on the OP6. If this was working on the OP6, we would have basically no issues.

It seems like only OnePlus can fix this at the moment. Savitar was trying to fix this according to Arnova, but so far no luck.

RAW_SENSOR does not have tint issues, so that's why I use this setting.

So to the meaning of my initial post, I was only talking about denoise parameters. At the moment I increased them from 0.1 to 0.4.

If you want to be up2date with these settings, you can always join my Photos album (as some already did), I will always comment on potential changes.

For the denoise parameters

luma = brightness

chroma = color

Each is divided into three values for high / medium / low ISO.

This means you can edit them separately, thus increasing noise reduction for lowlight situations only for example (high ISO values).

Unfortunately we don't know the specific ISO range these values apply to. [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] Is there something in the code which might give a clue at which ISO they work?

This all needs repeated testing. But to be honest, I only do this every now and then.

So I invite you to join me finding the best values for different situations.
[Google Camera Mods] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Thanks, the biggest problem is that I have Exynos version, thus almost nothing works except old v5 without new goodies :)
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Thank you, this was very informative.

I learned a lot from this reply.

:)
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Thank you very much for this post. This is the kind of post the forum needs to make things clearer for a lot of people!

I've taken few shots today try to switch values (google libs) between 0 and 0.5 and I didn't notice real differences.

With those values results are similar to Savitar libs, maybe a little bit denoised (I like it more).

I'll try 0,0,0 config these days and see if I can find improvements or not with my taste
[Google Camera Mods] markdulce:
I am experiencing blockages in this final version that I have to close all over again, they have started at once when doing selfie in normal mode.
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
Well that one is "easy". In order to obtain HDR a bunch of pics with different iso/speed combinations are taken. Some will be very dark and thus capture details in bright areas (and the rest is black-ish) some are very light and therefore get details in the dark areas of the image, the rest being "burnt" ie white. The HDR is then a process of combining these multiple images in order to rain details in both dark and light areas while maintaining a somewhat realistic look.

You have the option to determine how many of to use. A small number will be fast but may make the image a bit "artificial looking". More frames will make the whole thing more natural looking but... will increase processing time and possibly blurriness (the frames are captured quickly but if they are many and it's not super ultra bright things might move in the picture during that time, the algorithm will adjust but that causes a bit of blurriness)...

So 3 frames is quick and a tad shaper but may be a bit artificial looking, 36 is very slow and will capture more details in a more natural way. That is IF the scene is uber contrasted. Else that's just doing to be slower for no benefits.

[Google Camera Mods] Antretng:
No one knows them. We experiment with them and find what is suitable. Especially the denoise parameters behave totally different on each device. Even gcams themselves affect the device differently. For instance, now I am using a V30. On v30 gcam may result to muted device and you have to reboot (a simple wipe of the background is not enough)

Note that noise reduction is a matter of personal taste. You may increase detail but you will also have more noise. So, what is suitable for me is not necessarily good for you. At least, when I had the device, I posted 3 different settings to try. Why don't you experiment a bit and share your settings and results with some comparison shots? This is how is done. We help each other to improve the performance for our device and our understanding regarding those settings. :)

P.S. The number of frames affect the quality. The more frames it shots the better the more efficient the noise reduction (in other words better results). This is a rule that applies on stacking in general (e.g. photoshop-median). However, as you increase the frames you increase the delay of the shot. Furthermore, if the number of frames is high enough, there would be more cool time from shot to shot. Personally I never exceed 15 frames. Otherwise it is too slow for me.
[Google Camera Mods] ProudRed:
Thanks for the clarification. So going by the fact I use GCam for business purpose to capture photos of people in motion most of the time what are the minimum number of frames that would be ideal for my use ? The quality of the photo has to be good.

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

I am just trying your denoise parameters that you posted and in your google photos album I found only one set of denoise parameters to be used. What else have I missed ?
[Google Camera Mods] lijun0326:
Yes, I'm sure I uninstalled all other version and install this one.
[Google Camera Mods] Beso:
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This "MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_Final" is must have addon for "GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk " ?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
HDR+ actually always takes photos with the same exposure. Each shot is underexposed and uses the same shutterspeed and ISO.

These are stacked to remove noise and afterwards brightened.

This is done to not have the same artifacts as regular HDR methods (ghosting e.g.).

[Google Camera Mods] JG:
No. it is not an addon. it is a replacement
[Google Camera Mods] Beso:
Thank you. Is it a better replacement for OnePlus 6? Do I need to delete GCam first? thank you
[Google Camera Mods] JG:
yes , but before uninstalling the app .be sure to wipe cache and storage in app settings of the gcam .then uninstall old and install new.

Hi, I'm testing fervently all the settings of the latest version. It's fantastic the improvement capabilities offered and image quality you can get ! Again a big thanks to the devs ! I share my settings on the link below, those denoise settings are customised especially for google libs, to avoid the oily effect and have a better sharpness with it. The pic has been shooted by very low light conditions with Eszdman libs.

[Google Camera Mods] :
Hi guys..plz help me..

I tried almost every build of gcam ver 6.1.021 for 12mp front camera pics on raw sensor setting but none of the build produces 12mp. Is there anyone who got 12mp selfies on gcam 6.1.021 build..? Please share info and settings too..

My device OnePlus 6

Thanks in advance.
[Google Camera Mods] xeltos:
It's not possible to get selfies at 12 mp on OnePlus 6/6t.

Oneplus has blocked access to nearly every app except Facebook.

May be possible on a custom rom. But I am not sure. I asked same thing.
[Google Camera Mods] EstherTakumi:
Weird, I'm using Open Beta 9 now, using 12mp without any issue here, Arnova already fix that.

Working great here, using latest Final build that Arnova give. Default setting, I've change nothing.

[Google Camera Mods] Dragos2023:

[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
front camera pics are limited to 4mpx by oneplus and secondary camera to 5mp with stiching or something.

there is no way you can get 12 mp photos with front camera unless you use portrait mode. Or did i miss something?
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Select "nexus5x" for front camera in advanced settings
[Google Camera Mods] Dragos2023:
Guys, Arnova have a GCam final app and 3 fix versions, which one shall I use with a 6t?

It is confusing...
[Google Camera Mods] EstherTakumi:
I see, didn't notice that, my bad, since I'm using potrait all the time. The only way to get 12mp is only potrait, just get a second picture without blur if you want 12mp.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
These shots are not real 12 MP but simply upscaled from 4 MP. They do not offer any more detail.

Portrait mode is 12 mp but it is super sampled. As in 4 mp up scaled to 12 mp. Please share the one with working 12 mp.
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
There are no verions with REAL 12 mp front camera.

It has been said many many times, it is due to a OnePlus restriction.

If you see in portrait selfies 12mp they are not real, is a 4mp image upscaled to 12

It seems like GCam don't work correctly.
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
Explain what "worst" means for you.

Each of us has different tastes and opinions. Maybe you don't like sharpness and prefer more denoise, or are you talking about colors, temperature?...

Imho Gcam is so much better than stock, better details, less denoise (oil paint effect), better nightmode

As I told in daylight shots once better stock once gcam (aesthetic inpressions for me, I like more sharper photos) but night mode is very bad in GCam in my device. I don't know why, but when I looking for comparison for example on YT GCam is much better. Therefore I think this is some wrong. In free time I will try to send some samples.

As I have mentioned several times the last gcam 1.2final is not as stable as I was supposed to since I see that more people are going through it ...

I have tried all the gcam since I follow the thread and you only realize all this failures if you use it daily since when you install everything it seems to work but when you use it most it is when it crashes. My opinion is still more stable gcam 6.013 ...

OnePlus is doing a farily good job. If they manage to improve the "oil painting" effect, improve the skin colors and the muted colors at night as well as the slow shutter speeds in medium to low light (blurry shots), they are right up there with the best of the best. If you look at all the comparisons between the Pixel 2/3, Note 9, iPhone X/XS and the OnePlus 6/6T, they are on the same level and not as bad as people make it out to be.

Not perfect, but quite good. Although Nightscape sucks, just looks super muddy and oversharpened.
