When my motion photo is on and i click a picture the camera app crashes should i change the Google photos version ?

And also facing A r sticker alignment issue initially it worked once or twice snd asked to collect surrounding and then set a grod but now it doesn't ask to scan and align my camera

cameraP3 for Pixel 2XL

All works fine and surprisingly the RAW images can be played in a lot of ways... but the glass part of the Pixel 2 XL is kinda getting heat up due toh continuous use of potrait mode, and how to acess "top shot"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rajarshi10:
What does this mean?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] EnTg888:
Huge thanks for this update!

Pixel 1 owner chiming in. The v7 P1 version has fixed most of the issues with v6 - 4k and slow-mo videos work now! Motion Photos still occasionally corrupt, causing Photos to crash when trying to view them. I think the only stable Motion Photos camera is Camera NX (still old UI) - but for everything else, P3 cam is now a superset of the stock camera!

Imagine flashing a bright yellow light at someone and seeing the actual person lit up without the yellow tint of the light. I didn't take the regular photo but you will get the sense of it.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] parabvidit:
Please check your phone's thread....

And the error is popping up because you probably don't have Android 9.0 yet

Is there a version for Samsung Note8?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] eelsid:
When Galaxy Note 8 gets Pie maybe somebody will port it. This thread is for Pixel devices on Android Pie. Would all please stop polluting the thread with irrelevant questions?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rajarshi10:
I get you. So this app does it and the stock camera app doesn't? Or what are you trying to say?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
The stock app only does it on Night Sight for the Pixel 2. The Pixel 3 does it on HDR Enhanced and Night Sight. The P3 Mod brings that functionality to the Pixel 2.

Good news. I enabled the Pixel Visual Core config and the HDR+ Enhanced capture bug is fixed on this new version. Still working on the next version. I really hope Google is working on getting the PVC to work for the Pixel 2 by default. They are adding new code/methods for it so it's promising. Remember, they had the PVC config on Google Camera a year ago then removed it for a whole year until just recently.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] schizophrenia:
thanks a lot. so looking forward to your new and improved version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bingley:
Wow! Does this speed up night & hdr+ enhanced processing by much on the P2?

Are you able to capture the night sight raw?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pramuda:
Does it mean that this config also works on Pixel 1 without PVC?

Thank you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] coolsid8:
Is it different from PVC config you added in v5 ? At least google is ahead in hardware than software for once. They put the chip in but didn't feel like writing software to support it then :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
ZSL HDR+ processing is much faster. Night & Enhanced is maybe 1 second faster (~3s vs ~4s).

Nope. If you enable it on the Pixel 1 or other phones it will capture a picture without any HDR+, or may even crash.

In this new GCam version, Google fixed an issue where when the PVC was enabled, it wouldn't do HDR+ Enhanced. It seems a bit better for shutter lag too, compared to old PVC configs. Actually, it may be practically the same. Maybe the way I turned it on before was faulty. Sorry Google engineers hiding and reading this. :o

This will be an experimental setting, please keep that in mind that some aspects of it may be worse or broken.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bingley:
Awesome! I use hdr+ enhanced always ( not the zsl '+') so I assume this will be boosted somewhat. Awesome work, thanks man!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pramuda:
Also about low ISO at day and dusk.

When i need low ISO shot, i turn on Night mod and take shot. Observe in this case shots gets with low ISO (50-150) and long exposure (sometime even 1"-1/4").

Only need good fix phone, really stable in hands and no shake. This is important, because phone use Accelerometr (Hyroscop). The less shaking, the longer the exposure. On a tripod even more. Verified

Also observe in your mode P3v7 WB is more right, more natural, than stock. Google sad in Pixel 3 use AI (Machine learning) AWB, and Pixel 1/2 not have it. May be you turn it on too!!)) Thanks

Does Top Shot work on a newer version of Google Photos?

Or is there any way to make it work?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
Only in the latest version of Daydream is it working.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ThePhenomenalOne1:
Does it work on the latest version of Daydream?

Because it seems like I'm using an old but it works on that one

Can I update it it will still work on that version?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] defet:
Can confirm that Synthetic Fill Flash does not yet work. There's a noticeable pleasant orange glow to human faces on the Pixel 3 Gcam, and the difference can be observed when using a PVC-enabled app (e.g. Snapchat) that doesn't apply Synthetic Fill Flash. The difference can also be seen with Pixel 2 vs Pixel 3 GCam, but that's not as good as an example due to sensor/processing differences.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
Have you noticed on the Pixel 3 that when there is a very bright background (ie overexposed window), your face is really dark? But in "normal" lighting, the face is brighter? This was an issue I faced when all Pixel 3 features were enabled. Someone on Reddit posted a similar experience, using a Pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tomofthepops:
Using HDR+ enhanced on this mod version makes the pictures look grey/ washed out compared to the stock camera with the same settings. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] Does Pixel 1 have Portrait mode from Pixel 3 on front camera in P3v7 mod? How do I can understand that it works?)

Thank you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] onesolo:
it has but only works on humans. I think that in pixel 2/3 it works on all objects
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pramuda:
[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] as far as possible, add to your mod HDR quality toggle. Maybe hide it somewhere deeper in the menu, so that only understanding people can touch it l.

Also tested with BSG 6.1.021 mod. What you did in the last mod leaves no chance for the BSG mod.

to As I can see, in BSG mod Super Res Zoom not working. Photos taked with this mod are smooth.

Also observe, that Pixel 1 with you last mod process photos very quick, really. Night and day. Really good work! Almost all others moder mods process photos much longer on Pixel 1.

Whaiting HDR+ quality toggle and use only you mode. Because it include what I need in the best way.

Thank you

Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pramuda:
As I know, for this Cstark27 needs to have device like yours or your application logs for debugging and creating mod specially for your device.

This thread for Pixel phones. As I understand, Cstark27 has Pixel phone and directly create mods for him.

I found out that stock app is sharper than cstark's , even night mode is better ... But zoom is amazingly better in cstarks one
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] slyfox8900:
It's some weird bug with the touch to focus. You have to touch to focus once then tap it off and then tap the same area again.

I've noticed this awhile ago. I think it's due to the motion tracking auto focus.

Is there a way to turn it into a touch and hold to turn on motion tracking?

I don't need it all the time and I find it's not reliably focusing on objects compared to stock touch to focus

Portrait mode works for me. Front and back cams.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] FaxAches:
Just unspoof build.prop (ie: change it back to Pixel 2 Xl, taimen, taimen) and reboot. Portrait mode works (along with everything else) on both front and back cameras with no crash after simply reverting back to the stock build.prop after installing this mod as outlined in the OP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
Thanks, Yes, i know this, i am not asking him to tune it for my device, i just asking him to make it just to work because now it is only working on pixels. For example i was using his gcam mod for lg until no long ago in my nokia and xiaomi. Maybe it is easy to enable it to work on other devices.

Flash plus night sight!!

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]

BSG enabled flash with night sight mode (for Xiaomi phones)... Plz do that for the pixel 2 mod.

I know the purpose of night sight is lost that way, but it will be interesting to see if it comes handy in certain situations ( specially human subjects in the dark)

Dude, just stop pestering the developer. Either make it on your own or spam in your device's thread. Browsing this thread becomes difficult because of your spam

Something like this? Unless I'm mistaken, this just seems to be an exposure issue. Can reproduce on the Pixel 2 as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bwyan Benton:
That's not an issue. That's how camera sensors work. It detects all the light from the background therefore underexposing the actual subject. This is why we have exposure compensation people!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gregzi:
Once for all:

On page https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

move into section Developers and take a look for which phone individual developer is porting / modding the Gcam to.....

If you won't find it, then you won't get it. You might try some of the versions on your own (get familiar with what hardware you have) . . . and best of luck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
I allready know the page, i have tried all 6.x gcam mods and no one works well or as good as the stock one Cstark port in the first term and was enabled to use in other device by other user. That is why i made this question for him.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] D-m-x:
I hope he keeps it Pixel only. Adding support for different Devices just makes everything messy and will eventually introduce problems which otherwise wouldn't exist.

Shot

Hey guys,

In MGC 6.1, I have noticed that when configuring HDR + at maximum frames (36), sometimes the apk closes after the circle ends spinning. .

Does it happen to you?

I have the impression that it may be because of the Z3Z process
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] defet:
The point is that cstark claimed it was an abnormal issue on the Pixel 3 and on his GCam port when enabling certain features. However I think he means something else, because as you said it's typical camera behavior.

In Pixel 2 version not working.

For the rest, everything seems to be the same.

I very happy, that you kept simplicity and functionality of native gcam.

HDR working fine for me in portrait mode. P3V7.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] wbgenetic:
How do you know If hdr is working in portrait mode or not?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bwyan Benton:
1. After you take the photo, view it right away and you can see it saying "processing HDR"

2. The end result. Highlights aren't blown, when before taking the pic they look like they're going to be. Dead giveaway.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] wbgenetic:
Right ... haven't really paid attention to this ... but I feel like the portrait has always used the HDR mode then ...

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bwyan Benton:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
Pixel 3 Forced mod on the left, stock Pixel 2 on right. The viewfinder on both apps showed a properly expose face with a blown out background. I'd take the blown out sky over a dark face. That's just me though.

I'm almost certain you cannot get Portrait Mode without HDR+. The 2 are tied together in one config. Pull your notification bar down right after capturing a Portrait photo of a human face and you should see the Processing HDR notification.

On pixel 2xl when I try to take picture in potrait mode the camera app crashes. Error says "cannot connect to camera"

Can anybody please suggest a fix.

tldr

I am struggling to make potrait mode work on the back camera on my stock pixel 2 XL

I have tried few different apk from 5.1 thru 6.1. Phone is unlocked and rooted.

Whats weird is on Bliss ROM it worked. But because I am on Sprint and on can only get LTE to work (prl update) in stock rom.

So now I can use all feature of the pixel 3 camera except potrait mode. Which I really want.

Anybody have seen this before.

I don't get that, but v7 portrait mode is totally unreliable for me on the 2xl back camera. Took a bunch of Christmas card shots yesterday and none of the v7 portraits worked while all of the stock did.

Disable the pixel 3 spoof magisk module, if you're using it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] baalho:
I installed magisk from twrp, but also have the magisk apk installed. However I dont have spoof magisk module installed (if that is a separate module inside magisk).

I did edit the build prop to spoof my pixel 2xl as pixel 3xl as per the OP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] veetoe:
That's probably your problem, the rear portrait doesn't work with the pixel 3 build prop edit. The op is a bit outdated. Check a few pages back and get the latest camera mod app from cstark27 and change the build prop back and you should be good to go.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] wbgenetic:
Yes this does require a separate topic with cstarks cam mod as the prime star and an up to date op... Question is if someone would and has the time to maintain this?

Hmm, sometimes I get very different result from CameraP3 and stock on Pixel 2. The colder photo is from CameraP3, both shot with HDR+ Enhanced and focus on "IPA":
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
HDR Enhanced on P3 Mod has the "AI" AWB enabled, like the Pixel 3. The next version will have a toggle to disable this for HDR Enhanced if someone desires. Haven't got as much time as I wanted to work on it this break unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] parabvidit:
[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] I'm just posting an observation here.

So I downloaded the v5 mod again, set hdr+ option to pixel 3 zlsr and kept motion photo on. With this setting, top shot is working with the auto recommendation.

And the auto recommend images are 3mpx.

Thanks for the mod ? cheers!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] b1g1an:
Great idea, the AWB is staggeringly good at turning interior lit images into daylight but sometimes you want a pic just how it is.

Thanks for all your great work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlfaSierra92:
I noticed that, on the Pixel 2, good zoomed photos are captured only when phone are "shaking", for example due to hand natural tremor. If your hands are too steady, Super Res Zoom doesn't work well due to lack of forced lens movement of the pixel 3.

So, if you want good zoom, don't use tripod.

Edit.:

Another thing, how is the battery consumption of this app compared to the stock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pramuda:
Yes, you are right. Test both versions for P1 and P2 results looks like the same, but in version for P2 Portrait photo look little bit nice.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] about menu of HDR+ parameters.

I am for the simpleness and grace.

Suggest to create simple HDR+ quality parametrs menu, including just:

Original (fastest)

Best(need more time)

Maximum (longest)

What do you think?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] DMart9406:
I wolud also like a menu with saturation , but ... Fotos are fine thia way but i would like to change it the way i like
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] arshu16:
I guess this would defeat the purpose of a simple point and shoot camera. I personally hate too many options and I see no point of choosing the hdr+ quality parameters. It may be useful for phones other than the pixels where one might sacrifice quality for faster processing. Since we have PVC, Google's default parameters should suffice.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] dmrainspb@gmail.com:
follow the autofocus tracker on P1 please.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Those parameters will improve with each shot, as that's the entire purpose of the Pixel Visual Core and its AI. So it's easy for me to see why the setting was removed. And while it's easier to not have the menu at all and rely on Google defaults, the dev if desired could modify the app and have it generate the menu based on the device. For example, if installed on a Redmi device the menu would appear while on a P2XL there would be no menu.

While I have no dog in this hunt, as a Pixel 2XL owner with the stock app and with no interest in Top Shot, I personally wouldn't bring the menu back. It caused way more issues for the dev than it solved.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] wbgenetic:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] wbgenetic:
Tbh I've only really used it once...

It has worked for me with all versions after v5.

You just need to get the p3 photos app and it should do the trick. Granted motion photos is on (or works only for those that have the motion photo. If motion photo is on auto only those pics captured with this triggered will work. Also works for older photos when you browse back in the gallery.

Also the recommended photos is a bit of a hit and miss. Just scroll around and get the frame you need ?
