a bit off topic but i modified a case with a holder that can clip apex camera lenses without blocking secondary camera or flash when no lenses are clipped of course. (it still looks ugly but is a prototype in progress) i find this more practical than the standard clip

i thought you may find interesting how capable this camera is! so i attached some wide angles shots and some telephoto shots. super res zoom helped a lot using this.

Hi [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]

the latest camera mod clicks normal slefies in 4 mp and portrait selfies in 12 mp on oneplus 6. Can it be fixed..?
[Google Camera Mods] Tanzia:
I see. Thank you. Also the beta version on 11/27 has a big chance of failing to save photo when the motion is on. After snapping the shot, the photo won't be saved to the gallery.
[Google Camera Mods] joshdigit:
Thanks for your hard work and research!
[Google Camera Mods] habylab:
1.1 is still the best build for me. 1.3 I can't get motion photos to work.
[Google Camera Mods] joshdigit:
4mpx is a RAW restriction on OnePlus devices for front cam. Can't be fixed.
[Google Camera Mods] pretender17:
It was same for OnePlus 3, then there was a magisk module that fixed it. Hoping we can have same for OnePlus 6 once someone cracks it.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
It was different though.

The OP3 did not support raw on the selfie cam at first, which caused HDR+ not to work.

All the Magisk module did was fix this, but it had no resolution issue and always produced full 8 MP shots.

The OP3T had the 4MP limitation, caused by OnePlus using Pixel binning same as on the OP5/T/6/T.

I don't really know anymore if this resolution limitation got fixed on these devices.
[Google Camera Mods] krishcutee:
I'm not able to use top shots. After taking the photo, in Google photos daydream app, I am not able to select top shots. Error message" trouble loading shots" . Any suggestions?
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
You can try clearing cache and all for that daydream photo app. It solved a problem with crashes for me... Could help you.

Tapatalk'ed over the intertubes from my awesome enchilada
[Google Camera Mods] krishcutee:
Nah, it didn't work! Please see the below screenshot, top shot isn't loading.
[Google Camera Mods] pretender17:
Yes it was fixed on OP3T using the magisk module. I still have the 3T.
[Google Camera Mods] Mord0rr:
I still have problems of taking a fast photo, and on gallery nothing...

Insisting with camera, kind of freezes and only see a black scren...

OP6 + PIE 9.0.2 Stable and root
[Google Camera Mods] markdulce:
In the latest version top Shop works but randomly stops moving photos so there is no top shot, others if it even gives the recommended ones and others simply do not show them but if you click they are there. Another thing I notice is that the portrait mode is now very slow so most of the photos are not good in all other versions this was not a problem. In general I see that it suddenly becomes very unstable so when you need it the most you do not shoot, at least it's happening to me.
[Google Camera Mods] aneesh12:
okay guys, here are some key points about how top shot works.

1) after taking a photo, if you see the recommendations and if you save those recommended photos, it will be of 3.1 mp, just like pixel 3 and any other random frame which isn't recommend will be of 0.8 MP of normal quality whereas 3.1 MP photos will be hdr+ processed

2) crash is subjected to some specific photos only. google photos crashes for that particular photo only and i don't know the reason.

3) even before you go for selecting a frame from top shot, the recommended frame will be selected automatically and will be shown as 'original' .

[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION]

and [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION], i got an idea. I don't know if it is possible or not. can you port the portrait mode processing to normal one too so that we can get 12mp photos even from normal front camera mode? for example, portrait mode clicks 2 photos, one normal and the other one portrait. so can you port this 'Normal' photo processing to normal front camera mode?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
[MENTION=4447339]AcmE85[/MENTION] [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] or anyone else who's pretty familiar with this project. I updated the OP to be a little more consistent with my other thread in the GCam forum (this thread will be moved there). Let me know if I need to add more info to the FAQ. Thanks. Tag me so I don't miss the post.
[Google Camera Mods] Gowri12:
So this thread no longer work... if so Where it will be moved... give link...
[Google Camera Mods] Menace66:
Hi there. I tried your suggestion and switched motion off. But it's still the same. HDR+ Processing msg pops up and the shutter button stops working. I rolled back to 6.1 stable and its still the best one for me so far.
[Google Camera Mods] Lonzo_SGS2_506:

[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
regular updates will still be here? or we will have to access a different thread?

by the way, the faq talks about the "telephoto" lens of the op6. but it is a regular depth camera
[Google Camera Mods] Gowri12:
So this thread will no longer active?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
There will be no change to the thread. It's just being moved to a different section on XDA Forums. All previous links to this thread should redirect automatically so don't worry about anything. You probably didn't even notice that it already moved to a different section (the wrong one though, waiting for that to be fixed).

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]

Noticed that if you take a photo and immediately click to show it from the button at the right-bottom hand side, it would jump directly to Google photos, but clicking after waiting for like a second or two keeps that from happening. Is this something intended?
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Sorry if you guys can't post. It seems there's a misunderstanding of the post restrictions on this new forum. Hoping the mods/admins get it fixed soon...
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
its also valid to point out in that in GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk if you take a motion photo back or front camera and you install the daydream photos app you will get the high resolution pic, the animation that you can export later as gif, and also topshot will pick and suggest two extra frames in 3.1 MPx resolution as "recomended shots" and the rest of the frames will be 1024x768 resolution .

in MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan-Advances+.apk with daydream app you will not get the two extra recomended frames. Only the original pic and all the rest 1024x768 (but you can increase this a bit in the advanced options).

for those who doesn't want the daydream photos app, the topshot strip on the picture details will remain hidden. Full resolution and animation will be available. Cam crashes and hdr+ stuck process bugs wil behave the same regardless this (at least in my case).

its fixed! couldn't post before but i can now! thanks
[Google Camera Mods] osm0sis:
It was kind of a nice break! :p

What would be cool organizationally is if there was a main release thread in which only Arnova/you can post that holds the downloads and changelogs, etc., then people reporting on each device would post about them in these device threads as usual.

That way those who only want release notifications could choose to only subscribe to the release thread, and not get bogged down in the daily pic comparisons here in the device threads. :)
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
This is a majestic idea. We could have the opportunity to have all the logs version by version. Could be a monumental thing.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
I'm not authorized to restrict commenting in posts in this sub-forum, and getting the threads fixed and moved here has already been a pain to be honest.

But for this OnePlus thread I'm going to edit the OP later to include links to Arnova's posts with the releases, instead of straight to the DevDV Downloads, because there's no history there ever since I stopped contributing to the thread. In the OP under Downloads is a "Previous Versions", unhide that and most of the old versions show the changes right below it.

What does clicking "Follow Project" do [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] [MENTION=9520625]MetalSir[/MENTION] ?
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Already following this.. and I got email notifications as follower.

I was not questioning your contribution to this cause, just suggesting a (maybe) more analytic way to go through all the updates. Right now is very complicated to find a changelog for a specific version.

And this somewhow generates spam.

Again, not here to judge someone's else work, just telling you my honest opinion.

Good to see everyone back to biz ;)
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
Go to the first post and look under the "Download" (in the text, not the tab at the top). Most of them will have the changelog, or bring you to the post with a more detailed change.
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Woah! Majestic man! Kudos!
[Google Camera Mods] xeltos:

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] for great for this update of this thread.

For Motion Metering in version 6.1.021, Based on the codes Motion photo also uses it to have several recommendations for the best capture in top shot, but is not used in 6.1.013.
[Google Camera Mods] Gowri12:
Excatly same problem
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
That explains everything. i'm sticking with the 2 versions for now to use all features. Thanks man! camera improved a lot thanks to this port. I'm refreshing the thread checking on updates as a crazy man lol
[Google Camera Mods] cstark27:
To be clear [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION], you are saying that Motion Metering must be enabled, before you get Recommendations from photos taken with GCam 6.1.021? Therefore, as of right now, only a Pixel 3 would do that, yes? I have not been able to enable it for the Pixel 2, nor have any versions I've tested. It's weird that Motion Metering can be turned on and off so easily for Night Sight, but not the other modes.

Edit: [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] maybe I misunderstand what you wrote. Just wanted to mention on P3 mod v7, with Motion On and the right Photos version, Recommended / Pick a better shot, works on Pixel 2. Oh, you know Motion has to be Auto or On for it to work right?
[Google Camera Mods] joshdigit:
GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.4_beta_1_build.6.1.0210.apk with BSG fixes.. It's real? I have it and can share link where are it from (comment from BSG itself). But the file is byte-identical with GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk And have same issues...

[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
Motion Metering analyzes each image captured by motion photo (to avoid having blurry photos), on version 6.1.0.13, I have no or rarely a recommended capture, but on 6.1.0.21 I have 2 to 3 recommended.

Top shot works without the use of Motion Metering , but for better recommendation google had to add it .

Edit:

> Motion Metering must be enabled, before you get Recommendations from photos taken with GCam 6.1.021?

No, but we shouldn't move too much with our device

> Therefore, as of right now, only a Pixel 3 would do that, yes?

No, Works on all hardware level 3 devices ( To run on Op6, I try to work around some code, but that causes other bug)

I believe it must be compatible with this YUV_REPROCESSING on the front and back camera
[Google Camera Mods] osm0sis:
I believe following a project means that when the DevDB page gets updated then a notification/email goes out. However that could also be accomplished but with normal thread subscriptions with my thread idea. TKruzze and I did something similar back in the day for our TK GApps project and it was badass to have the release posts all in one thread that was otherwise locked, and then discussion in another thread to keep them organized. I know you've got lots of moderator help around here, so maybe they'd be willing to set that up for all? Just thinking out loud! :)
[Google Camera Mods] megahead34:
Not trying to complain, I have also donated here. I've been trying so many versions, nothing is stable on the OP6T on T-Mobile. I'm trying to see if others are seeing the same issues.

- photos don't capture, tried HDR, HDR+, HDR off, etc.

- photos don't save, when a photo is captured, it looks like it's saved, i go to Google Photos, don't see it

- selfies crash - this is very frequent, both photo and portrait mode

- videos are not stable

- slow motion not working

- night mode is inconsistent, photos are usually grainy

Improved camera capture performance;

Adjusted autofocus behavior ;

Improved camera shutter performance.

About photo not saving issue, a fix I found is to take another photo then the previous one is shown in the photo app.
[Google Camera Mods] sanderbos:
All of a sudden I am having a lot of problems with GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk, I do not know why it has started now, I have used it as my default app for over a week now.

The problems are the familiar ones, that photos are simply not stored (so I do see the shutter action on screen, but no picture), and in some cases but not always the HDR processing notification without progress.

This is on a stock OnePlus 6 OxygenOS 9.0.2, with motion on turned off.

I have stopped_app+removeddata+rebooted several times. MGC_6.1.013_TlnNeun-based_v.0.4_IDan-Advances+.apk does not have any of these problems.

It appears that the problem occurs more frequently if I take a very bright picture, so e.g. one directly aimed at the sun. Once a picture is not registered subsequent ones are also not registered.

I captured some logs with matlog, see attachment. I think this includes 2 succesful pictures taken, and then 3 that failed.

15.9 Mpx / 3.8 Mb

PHOTO #3 : GCam v1.1 night mode => my fav, awesome details & colors

16.3 Mpx / 2.5 Mb

PHOTO #4 : GCam v1.3 night mode => poor contrast compared to GCam v1.1

https://i.imgur.com/ZtXH1uq.jpg

12 Mpx / 1.9 Mb
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Only real difference I see on my Desktop PC between 1.1 and 1.3 is in resolution.

Well, of course I noticed the difference in colors and contrast, but that's personal preference.

"Awesome details" is relative when comparing 16 vs 12 MP. There is not much of a difference in terms of details to be honest, at least in these crops.

Stock isn't worth losing words about, trash...
[Google Camera Mods] :
Let me explain myself a little bit :

What do I compare : PHOTO #2 (stock) and PHOTO #3 (gcam 1.1) both in 16 MP

Why I speak about awesome details : look at the doll's hair... how different it is in terms of detail

Also, it's just my personal opinion
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Then I fully agree with you.

Stock loses against both GCams, it is as you describe. I was reading it wrong, my bad.
[Google Camera Mods] luclepianiste:
Hi from France, this is my very first message on xda, please how do you get 16mpx on gcam? (OP6 stock 9.0.2 / gcam 1.1)

nothing special,

on gcam 1.1 the outpout file is 16 MP

on gcam 1.3 the outpout file is 12 MP

How I got the topshot function

I finally decided to test the topshot function today, and it turned out to be much easier than I expected. Here are all what I did:

1. Download the latest version of Daydream and Google Photos (Daydream) from apkmirror.

2. Install Daydream.

3. Install Google Photos (Daydream).

4. Reboot.

5. Clear the cache of Pixel3Mod 1.3

Now take a picture in Pixel3Mod 1.3 with Motion (which implies with ZSL not HDR+ Enhanced), open it in Google Photos, swipe up and tada! The topshot strip shows up with 1 Original and 2 Recommended pictures.

This works for both back and front cameras. This also fixes the problem that opening a motion picture taken by Pixel3Mod 1.3 in Google Photos leads to a crash, which I encountered earlier.

Updated: Google Photos sometimes still crashes at some pictures, and I cannot find the pattern... Some pictures cause crashes while some don't. I attached a log created when I failed to open a motion picture. ( [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] for issue related )

log (in google drive): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Y9YAANcFP3ZKgcczBTpmtnlDN3biY5SU

I am currently using OP6 with OOS 9.0.2 and bluespark r58. Hope this helps anyone who wants to try topshot. Good luck!

Edit:

Forgot to mention that I already had ARCore (from Google Play) installed.

Also credit to [MENTION=7328026]elmarian756[/MENTION] for the initial guide.
[Google Camera Mods] n8chavez:
Thanks for this! I can how see, and select from, the photo strip and not just an animated gif. The only question I have is, when you use topshot does it actually recommend a photo for you? I think that was how it was supposed to work, but I can't get it to do that.
[Google Camera Mods] kagwind:
If you meant whether the app automatically recommends a photo after the shot, then no.

However, I am pretty satisfied with what the devs have achieved. Both the quality and the functionality are impressive! Big thanks to cstark27, Arnova8G2, BSG, defcomg and others that I fail to mention!
[Google Camera Mods] n8chavez:
Oh absolutely! Now if the next version could provide the megapixels of 1.3 with the features of 1.3 I'd be thrilled.
[Google Camera Mods] p0nkr4t:
Got a force close on 1.3 v6.1.021 after setting a timer on 3 secs and taking a photo with front camera.

Or sometimes it doesn't crash, it just doesn't allow to take photos
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
great work! perhaps it will be awesome to keep this guide in order to add it with download links in op when the next versions on gcam polish all the details regarding motion. (to me it works great, but some users reported a few bugs here and there)
[Google Camera Mods] Mmohsin:
OnePlus 6 Gcamera

Pixel count in the settings goes to Max 12 megapixels? Is there a fix
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I will quote [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] on this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/co...ale_16mp_to_12mp_or_does_it_crop_the/eabzwjx/

If I understand this correctly, OnePlus needs to fix this in their OP6/T camera2api implementation.

For example: My OP3 with the latest GCam is showing 16 MP as max resolution in the settings.

But if you want to know if we can use 16 MP with Gcam on the OP6/T, this is already possible depending on the version.

Although max resolution displayed is still at 12 MP, actual resolution is at 16 MP according to exif data.

For 16 MP photos, the app needs to have resampling disabled. Some versions offer a toggle for this.

A side-effect when disabling resampling is that super-res-zoom will stop working and you will end up with low-res jpegs

when using digital zoom. Arnova8G2 is working on a fix which allows to use 16 MP, while maintaining super-res-zoom.
[Google Camera Mods] Jasonlhleung:
Has anyone found that the current gcam. I.e. version 21 fails to take the photo sometimes, takes pictures in only 12mp, fails to focus at night (which makes nightsight pretty useless)? If so, do you know if Arnova is working on all these issues?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Yes these are all known issues and he is working on them. Some are caused by motion metering (focus, circle-progress stopping).

I don't know what causes the shutterbutton not to work in certain situations, but I was able to provide some logs for this issue.

The 12 MP resolution is due to enabled resampling and not a bug, see my post above yours.
[Google Camera Mods] Jasonlhleung:
Thank you. I've just upgraded from a OnePlus 3 that had the exact same version of the app. I noticed the OnePlus 3 colours are nicer than on the 6T, despite using the same app. Do you have any idea why this is the case?
[Google Camera Mods] joshdigit:
Hey [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] can you merge MGC_6.1.021_B-S-G-based_v.0.1_TlnNeun.apk with your fixes please?

Arnova8G2 + B-S-G + TlnNeun = Best Collaboration and final result.
[Google Camera Mods] Jasonlhleung:
What are the benefits of each app?
[Google Camera Mods] elmarian756:
the arnova version is the main app. Some advances settings remain hidden on his versions such as saturation advanced settings, jpeg final quality, autoexposure correction, resampling, etc.

on a previously released version arnova uploaded a second app with those extra tweaks available. (bsg, idans, miniuser123 settings)

playing around with those improved picture final output (at least on my opinion)
[Google Camera Mods] Joseba123:
I followed every step and downloaded all the apps mentioned by [MENTION=6048392]kagwind[/MENTION], but the Google photos app still crashes when opening picture with motion.

Any other suggestions?

Edit: If I am fast enough, I can turn the motion off on the picture on the photos app. Then it crashes, but when I open the picture again, motion is off and topshot works bc I can see the suggested options by swiping up.

I'm using stock op6t with the latest update ( non TMobile) and the latest gcam.

Also, the XDA app wouldn't let me post anything when I tried to quote somebody.
[Google Camera Mods] joshdigit:
Tolyan009 makes amazing work with organization of all advanced and additional settings. But his mods only for 3/3T.

Arnova makes awesome work for correct GCam working on 6/6T

BSG.. What he did and does we all know clear.
