Hey [MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION],

This is really strange and never happened to me before. I was trying to install this version on my OnePlus 6, stable pie and it says 'App not installed'. I have [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] latest port is installed. Do you think I need to uninstall it and clear the cache and then install it again or something else you suspect. Kind regards.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Uninstall Arnova's version and install this version. No need to wipe cache.
[Google Camera Mods] Jack_Sparrow_:
You have to uninstall Arnova's first, then install this one. This will work ;)
[Google Camera Mods] panthimanshu:
Done... really a must-to-be-resolved issue.
[Google Camera Mods] Chardoser:
HDR+ still not working as well on new version please fix it:crying:
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
- which version

- regular HDR+ or enhanced HDR+?

- not working as well compared to what exactly?

- what exactly needs fixing?

Be more specific please.

If you are talking about BSG GCam, be aware that he doesn't even own a OnePlus 6.

He is only porting for Xiaomi Mi8, nothing else.

The fact that it works on our OP6 is pure luck, so providing any bugreports and especially requests for this version doesn't make much sense at this point.

Let's wait until we get news from Arnova8G2.
[Google Camera Mods] pargas:
You could try with appcloner , I have both installed+ 5.1 and 5.3.

Appcloner was removed from play but you can still find it on the web.
[Google Camera Mods] doc_v15:
What about so that OP stock rom could support GCam natively just like MIUI?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Please elaborate. As far as I know MIUI 10 needs a magisk module for it to run GCam.

Do you mean fixes for the camera2api implementation?

We have been begging OnePlus to fix their stuff since the OP3, good luck with that.
[Google Camera Mods] panthimanshu:
In BSG version, pictures are not dark and what is best in his port is the option to disable the shutter sound :victory:. But I still prefer Arnova's version as the images are more sharp. Although I feel images were more sharp and crisp in previous versions (5.3 beta 2). I wish he will solve this dark image issue.
[Google Camera Mods] doc_v15:
Yes, I meant the camera2API. Did you know that the MIUI 10 developer edition, the newest one supports google camera, they have the camera2api within the rom.

Oh we have been begging hey? Well, looks like no hope at all?:D
[Google Camera Mods] dgunn:
Maybe to show that even with a flash turned on you cannot capture any light coming in through the camera.

I have posted pictures in the dark and not said the flash was on and someone has asked, why didn't you turn the flash on?
[Google Camera Mods] Chardoser:
Front facing camera OnePlus 6 . On portrait it doesn't work at all . On regular shot it focus on background and make my face to dark

Why? Only because you tried to help him and he doesn't bother to answer even one of the questions you ask? :eek:

I have to admit that I was surprised that you even tried to help him... because meanwhile I just ignore all the "it doesn't work, please fix now!" posts.

Hopefully you just give up trying to help these guys and not giving up to test the GCam mods - as you are one of the few guys doing real testing and giving valuable feedback! :good:

Have a nice weekend!
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
No longer working.
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
Has anyone seen an improvement in the stock cam and it's night mode? Since the update to 2.10.8.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
No. Just added some kind of "night sight effect" and BOOM. That's the brand new camera app.

To me photo's quality is even worse than the previous versions. 2.7.38 still better than ANY recent update.

I'm just disgusted by oneplus policy.

They did a MEGA thread on camera issues and they JUST totally ignored any question just claiming "BIG IMPROVEMENTS" [REFERENCE].

This is what we got, the same app with a barely, pixel-wannabe, night mode. And, I mean, everything's alright, nah?

hope this one reachs the right eyes becouse this is how community feels.

[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] (don't get it personal, you are the only here that can bring the message to op devs.)
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
Thanks for your research and links bro. Appreciate it ✌️
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
man, believing or not, i was VERY active (maybe PROactive) on OP forum. Then I just got that NO ONE care about the communuty.

and this is why i moved here, because maybe I can really give some kind of contribution here to develope something outstanding.

In OP forum I was just wasting my time.

[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] my call on OP team is: hire [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] to fix that camera app. he's doing MAGIC.
[Google Camera Mods] Funk Wizard:
Thank you for your honest feedback buddy, i acknowledge the fact that there are lot of issues with processing of pictures and also [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] has been doing great behind the scenes. I will forward my recommendation, hopefully there will be substantial improvements in the times ahead :good:
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
tks a lot for your reply. you know OP could "just" take back the quality to 2.7.38 (last stable on h2o 5.1.11). THAT was amazing. maybe not the best app in the world but worked good. not TOP quality app but it was literally lightning fast. So it was a smart (to me) compromise since my son was 4 mounth old. I did some of my best photos back in 5.1.11 days. And please note that I print my photos, with enlargment, and I put 'em in a frame on my house's walls.

Quality was good and the app was so fast that a photoshooting with a 4 months babe was like charm. Not one defocused pic. No need to "double-shot" any photo, because the FIRST shot was THE shot.

Now the quality is massively riduced and camera speed ain't speed anymore.

Yesterday I did a couple of selfies with my son, did 1-2-3....7 shoots! No one survived. All the images were somehow defocused or not shot in the "right" moment, due to camera lag.

I mean, do I really have to fight with a crashing selfie mode (last gcam is VERY unstable) in stead of my stock app? Did all this really make sense?!

please man, do something.

tks a lot

[Google Camera Mods] neeko92:
Same here with my boys. When the app crashes because of selfies, I reopen it and 75 % of the selfies get recorded. Its frustrating, especially when you get THE picture in the right moment and it doesnt get saved.

But compared to stock cam, gcam selfie quality is way better (I was able to see the imperfections of my skin on gcam, couldnt see it on stock)

Arnova, keep up the good work, we re already grateful for what you have done !
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
I am sure that he would try to help us, because he was always nice with the community, but believe me, Oneplus won't do anything with the camera.

I think they are not able to do that. They just simply can't. Out of their knowledge. :(

Fortunately we have Arnova and BSG and Google ofc and they will do the magic.

First image Huawei P20 Pro night mode, second OP6 Gcam from Arnova. This is insane and it's not Arnova's fault because stock is even worse!
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
P20 Pro is a different world.
[Google Camera Mods] chevic:
So what the Leica lens makes the difference?
[Google Camera Mods] mullemulle86:
I sold my P20pro because all the pics looked artificial and fake.

Maybe Night Mode ist good but most pictures looked like plastic.
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
That's due to the Ai mode. You don't have to use it.

On OP6 you will lose many details compared to P20 Pro pictures.
[Google Camera Mods] mullemulle86:
Even with deactivated AI. On a mobile phone i want Point and shoot. And for me the 6t with gcam ist better then the P20pro.
[Google Camera Mods] chevic:
You mean take pictures in RAW mode?
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
6 and 6t takes decent shots, but in overall, Huawei is better. Mate 20 Pro fixed the Ai and oversaturation issues I believe.

The only problem that it is too expensive. At least it is over my phone budget.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
This is exactly how I feel. Maybe to many people could sound strange, but when you have kids, ALL your gallery is about your kids, and losing just ONE pic feels like you lost something.

Man, money can buy EVERYTHING. Programmes are everywhere nowadays and most of them would give a kidney just to have the opportunity to work with a company like OnePlus. So.. c'mon OnePlus, just spend some money in something more useful than removing the jack plug from a flagship.
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
They won't spend more money than what they need to spend to sell as much phones as possible. They are doing well the sales.

Looks like the camera is not that important for the average customer, I mean they can't see the issues, or the big potential in the sensor..
[Google Camera Mods] Funk Wizard:
Thread cleaned,

Please follow the forum rules and please don't ask for any ETA and disrespect the developer, countless hours and efforts behind development.

Thanks,

Funk

[Google Camera Mods] HFidalgo:
Not sure about this... They're growing, hence more customers = more demand to get things right.

Even though I love photography, I'm not that of an expert to evaluate some more technical aspects, but I have to admit that OP's cameras have been evolving... Slowly, but evolving.

Try to compare point and shoot photos between - say - OP3 and OP6... You'll see remarkable differences... Even with OP5, that already came with rear dual camera.

Just my opinion...
[Google Camera Mods] doc_v15:
I downloaded the 2.7.38 from apk mirror and tried to install it and it failed. How can I do it? Any advice?
[Google Camera Mods] Tomatot-:
I think guys you underestimate the efforts necessary to make a proper camera app. If it was so easy to achieve Google's software quality, every company would do it. But look at the facts: no company manages to get as good software as Google and still, they have a lot of money to spend in the phone & camera department. Look at Huawei, Apple, Samsung, etc. Sure OnePlus is a little behind but they don't have the same experience and expertise. And their phones, even though they get more and more expensive, are still significantly cheaper than the other flagships. So it's not hiring one or two dev that will change the world for their camera app.

What Arnova is doing is beyond expectations and I have no idea how he manages to fix so many things for so many devices, but porting and tweaking an app is still not as hard as building a camera app from scratch. I don't think he would be able to make wonders using the OPCAM app. Don't make me say what I didn't say.

The only "reasonable" solution would be a partnership in between Google and OnePlus, at least for the camera. Google should allow other manufacturers to use their camera software, but it probably won't happen since otherwise nobody would buy their Pixels.

But think of the positive aspects about OnePlus being "independent": I think we can say overall we have better software optimization (OnePlus performs much better than the Pixel 3, in terms of RAM management for example), and we get a lot of features Google would never implement (because they simply don't like giving options, for some reasons). Look at the notch implementation on the 6T or even on the 6 compared to the Pixel. There's not even an option to make the status bar always black.

Long story short: don't expect magic from OP in the camera department, and be patient about GCAM and be confident about Arnova's work. :highfive:
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
if we cant ask ETA, would it be okay if i ask what being worked on at the moment?
[Google Camera Mods] osm0sis:
No. Just wait and be patient.

Arnova doesn't owe you status updates. He'll give them when he gives them.
[Google Camera Mods] BIGWORM:
Asking for ETAs is against forum rules. Let's just all assume that nothing is being worked unless the dev explicitly says otherwise. Or just assume the dev is working on something, if it helps you through your day. Thanks.
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
Other OEM's evolving faster. Look at the Xiaomi. With the latest updates the Mi8, Mix 2s and Mix 3 are real photography beasts. Actually all of them are cheaper than OP.
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
I am not gonna buy oneplus 7 for sure. Mi mix 3 is so much better than oneplus 6t and is also cheaper than oneplus 6t. Also, after MIUI 10 update, camera2api will be enabled and we can use google camera without rooting and it is actually quite compatible with google camera too. Xiaomi knows how to write camera2api so good, even better than oneplus. oneplus really need to impress me with oneplus 7 or I'll go with xiaomi's next mix series mobile.
[Google Camera Mods] Filikun:
Can I ask if there is any way to get a notification when a new update to this port is available? I'm using the xda labs app but can't find it amongst apps to track.
[Google Camera Mods] interfreak:

Hey guys. Just some photos from the gcam. Latest one.

Let me know what you think. I think the new gcam works great. Gives you a good clean slate to work with.

Instagram: Dm_alberts if you want to see the rest.
[Google Camera Mods] Tomatot-:
Xiaomi and OP have very a very different approach I think. OnePlus only sells flagships whereas Xiaomi prefers to sell many devices in all the price ranges. So it allows Xiaomi to sell more devices. Their politics is also to have very low margins.

It's like if you go to a small specialized supermarket, you'll have good stuff but way more than expensive than in the huge international grocery store a few miles away.

And it's a circle, because they sell so many devices, Xiaomi can make great deals to buy components.

So yeah, OnePlus will never be as competitive as Xiaomi in terms of hardware for example but on the other side I feel like you get a more polished experience on the OnePlus. And to cut prices xiaomi is including adds in their own apps now so I'm not sure you want that anyway!
[Google Camera Mods] saurabhmaurya70:
Hay everyone i wish to use both gcam mod op6t and mi8 at same time but they have same app signature so its not possible now.

This time my exam so i m so busy can anyone change sign of any mod for use both in same time plz
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
My wife has Mix 2S, I have OP6, so I can see the differences.

Some days ago I flashed the latest Xiaomi.EU ROM on her phone, and it is very snappy and responsive. She doesn't have any issue with that and it is more closer to AOSP than it was ever.

I think Xiaomi realized, that the western market doesn't like the crowded MIUI, so they made it lighter.
[Google Camera Mods] doc_v15:
You got it wrong, as far as I know, Xiaomi.eu is not related at all to xiaomi as a company. Its just a xiaomi fan based ommunity that cooking and tweaking their own custom rom based on china rom, to make it better.
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
I know that, since I am the one who maintains her phone.

But seriously, now we have a discussion on XDA, where the unlocked BL and ROM flashing is basic knowledge. :)

If I need to flash a new ROM to make it better, I will do that. I would do the same on OP6, but actually we have no good custom ROM's. OOS based ROM's are nothing special, 3rd parties has very weak camera implementation, so I just flash magisk and customize it according to my needs.

I really like the Oneplus, but I don't like the direction they are going. 6T is a step back for me. They removed the notification LED and they have no proper AOD support in OOS, which is funny.

Hope the 7 will be better, or my next phone will be an upcoming Mi Phone.

BSG Gcam mods are also a good reason to use Xiaomi.

I had a pocophone and I really hated the MIUI experience.
[Google Camera Mods] blogbytes:
Does portrait mode work? No matter what I do it doesn't work on the op6t
[Google Camera Mods] alexferdean:
Pixel Experience is a very nice Rom for the OP6, and GCam works as good as stock (but no portrait front facing camera), only Google Pay does not work on that Rom.
[Google Camera Mods] mullemulle86:
Portrait Mode works fine.

But just on people. You cant take pictures of thinks with bokeh.
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
All 3rd party ROM's has different noise reduction. Even on stock cam.

I tried it, much weaker photography on 3rd parties.
[Google Camera Mods] blogbytes:
Why only on people? Is that a limitation?
[Google Camera Mods] alexferdean:
Because it only uses one camera. That's why.
[Google Camera Mods] tibcsi0407:
Since Pixel has only one sensor, it can't measure the depth information like the OOS cam does.
[Google Camera Mods] blogbytes:
How can the sensor measure depth on a face but not let's say a brick? Makes no sense to me.

On the actual pixel it can measure depth on any object.
[Google Camera Mods] Tomatot-:
It's because Google can recognize a face and its limits, I think. It's not about the depth but about what's a face and what's not.
[Google Camera Mods] alexferdean:
The answer is in software. It does not measure depth difference. Because it uses only one camera and it's been trained to do this effect on people.
[Google Camera Mods] blogbytes:
Yet on the pixel if you snap a portrait of any object it will create the depth effect. So it's not just software then?

Sorry not trying to argue, I just want to understand the logic behind it.
[Google Camera Mods] alexferdean:
I don't own a Pixel, but Google never claimed that you can snap objects with portrait mode. As far as I know it does not work even on the pixels, or it's working but not that good like on portraits. On the iPhone X's (which also uses only one camera, you get a message that no face is detected).
[Google Camera Mods] raj.ayush78:
in the actual pixel depth is also measured using the dual pixel pdaf and that depth information is given at the api level(or driver level whatever its called)itself. in other phones the depth informarion is not collected and thus gcam cannot access that. Potrait mode on other phones gcam is actually using the front potrait mode of actual pixel camera(which solely requires machine learning and ai to detect person). Just fyi front potrait of pixel also does not work on objects because no depth information in there in actual pixel also
[Google Camera Mods] gagandeep007:
Does your front camera take normal picture or with green tint??
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
The Pixel 2/3 can in fact take portrait shots with the back camera with bokeh from all objects, not only humans.

This works, because google Google found a way to use the dual pixel autofocus to obtain depth information.

edit: too slow, see post above.
[Google Camera Mods] alexferdean:
Yeah, that's right, I guess I forgot about dual Pixel.
[Google Camera Mods] Ippolito1971:
Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to Arnova for all of this incredible work. You are truly appreciated by many. For those that can't see the dedication in your efforts and mock your work please ignore them. They have no idea what is involved in development. I look forward to Future work and if this is the last update, I sincerely thank you for all you have done! My OnePlus 6t is better for it. [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Since it was the "last" stable on oreo (oxy 5.1.11) I dont' think that you'll be able to install it on PIE (oxy 9.0.1+). You can't downgrade. I'd rather opt for that version instead of the last (I honestly don't care about nightsight, I'll go for gcam if I need it).

not understimating the complexity of the thing, otherwise every phone would have the same p20 pro photo quality and we know that they're not.

To be honest I really liked stock camera before PIE and I'd always opt for stock as my primary camera. As I said, I did some of the most beautiful photos to my little son with the stock app. I just "want" that "before PIE" quality back. Don't asking for anything that OnePlus wasn't able to achieve, since camera WAS doing very good until PIE.

It was (IMHO) a majestic and smart compromise between quality and speed. I just "want" that back.

Mention to [MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] as main link between XDA and OP community. Hope this do not disturb you, mate :good:
[Google Camera Mods] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
Guys one question. Is night sight supposed to be also working for selfies in GCAM? Am wondering because night sight is available in stock camera when taking selfies. I just want to know if this happens only to me or if this is normal? Im following the forum since day one and I didn't see anything related to this matter. So please don't blast me if I am wrong. Just asking. Thanks!
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Should work.. I did some nice photos with my son. You know the animation works and the app seems to aquire the image correctly I can't honestly say If is just an HDR+ enhanced shot (since they are so good too in low light conditions).

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] I noticed that when I shoot with front camera and night mode active in the image infos i'll get "LGE ONEPLUS A6003" in stead of "Google ONEPLUS A6003". See attached image.
[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
Me too, good idea.
[Google Camera Mods] chevic:
What is night site in this article :

https://gizmodo.com/googles-incredible-night-sight-mode-was-worth-the-wait-1830432540

Is it the same as night mode in Arnova's Gcam or somethingnew?
[Google Camera Mods] osm0sis:
Old GCam for Nexus 5X also used to let you move the phone vertically to try and compute depth for a bokeh on any object. You could even pick a different object after the fact and adjust the amount of surrounding blur. No idea why Google dumbed it back down in more recent GCam.
[Google Camera Mods] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
Hey Bro. Thanks for replying. But was that picture taken using night mode in front camera? Front camera works great for me on GCAM but it does not have the option to shoot selfies in night mode only stock camera has it.
