Super Zoom doesn't seem to work on Pixel 1 (Photos are no different in quality than the original app with same amount of zoom).

Also, HDR+ stops working sometimes. It tries to process but then kinda fails and an unprocessed shot ends up in the gallery. Maybe it was cause my device temperature was higher than normal.

Portrait mode, night sight, focus tracking, photobooth all seem to be working perfectly.

HDR+ config changing still shows a toast saying 'EXPERIMENTAL CONFIG: Pixel 2016 Tuning'

Also, I have noticed that when I take photos using this mod and then I use the stock one to take a couple of photos and afterwards when I open photos to view them Photos starts crashing repeatedly. Deleting these photos seems to fix that.

Thanks for your work. :)

Do both of these options use PVC? Which one tend to produce better results on Pixel 2xl?

On my Pixel 2, on the October security patch build from Google (no custom room, mods, root, etc), tracking AF works in Photo mode for me. Not in Night Mode (not sure it's supposed to anyway?). HEVC also works; I checked with "Mediainfo" app.

@ cstark27 Could you enlighten us on difference between Pixel 3 and Pixel 2 in terms of below features?

Whats is the difference between Pixel 2 & 3 in terms of PVC?

Difference between camera module and lens

Does Pixel 2 using official camera app record in HEVC?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
No one knows for sure the possible difference in the PVC. Ifixit teardown revealed the same part number is used for the Pixel 3 though...reviewers were told the PVC had been "updated".

The rear camera of the P3 is a Sony IMX363, which basic spec-wise, is identical to the IMX362 of the P2. More here: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-sony-imx355-imx363-camera-sensor/

As of 6.1.013, the stock Pixel 2 app does not show the HEVC toggle.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrcet007:
Thanks for the info! I think "Spectral + flicker sensor" is exclusive to sony imx363, which enables Super Res Zoom. Doesnt look like Pixel 3 got much of a camera hardware upgrade at all compared to Pixel 2 except for the front wide angle camera.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] Does Pixel 2 use PVC for all photo processing including HDR+ like Pixel 3? As per 8 months old article from theverge Pixel 2 doesnt use PVC for HDR+. Did that change?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] MrBrady:
Impressive? What device? And are you using the P3 build prop mod?

Is this using the normal camera and zooming all the way in or is there a separate super zoom mode?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chaozmager:
Interesting... A quote I had read from launch date stated it was the same chip, just being utilized more... Could just be a firmware/software update and more usage of it?

Could anyone help me to sort the problem I am facing with pixel 3 apk... I installed apk as suggested on pixel 2.. and it really worked for the first time. But when I closed camera app and reopened it again... All the new features were gone. Same thing happened when I download another apk today.

Is there way to sort this issue...? ??

OG Pixel XL:

1. Unable to change modes (always reverts to Pixel 2016 tuning)

2. 4k recording is unusable (loosing frames)

3. 1080p works really well, AF sticks to objects like a glue, no frame loss

4. Is it just me or this apk version is also using updated video stabilization algorithm from pixel 2 and 3? It seems that panning is smoother and more responsive.

5. Night mode works well.

Cannot thank you enough for this, this is epic! Up until this realese I have had to use both cameras P3 and P2 cause something was missing, now I can rely 100% on this release of P3 and finally set it as the default camera app.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] deepakdavidster@gmail.com:
This development is remarkable, with this I think there is no need of an upgrade to pixel 3, you can compete with pixel 3 in almost all ways possible.

I never thought the Pixel 3 features will come this soon.

Really appreciate the work of developer and hope that in future he can develop an entirely different camera app that stands out from GCam and google will be forced to adopt his features in their GCam

Pixel 3 Camera Mod for 8.1 Oreo Samsung galaxy S8

Hi,

It is possible to mod the apk to make it work with my Samsung Galaxy S8 currently running on Oreo 8.1?

Desperately need that apk to up my camera game!!

please guys, do something!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] FormelLMS:
One question please. Which HDR mode I have to choose with the Pixel 2?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] noamagil:
great work!

a question about the hdr+ config,

as i understand it enables using the pvc.

i own a pixel2xl, selected Pixel 2017 Hardware Zsl, forced closed the app as requested.

1. using the pvc impacts picture quality or only processing time?

2. with pvc, using hdr+enhanced works a lot faster than the stock camera, just as fast as taking hdr+ photos on auto config.

is hdr+enhanced is really being acrivated and used?

if so, is it recommended to use it regularly instead of hdr+?

thanks for this great mod :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] x4x3:
HDR+ should fit most situations. Use HDR enhanced for very bad conditions or for better white balance.

If we speak about HDR options in settings i would recommend choosing Auto or Pixel 2018 ZSLR. Others work slower for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] willumpie82:
Wow, this is so awesome! but it is basically spoiling my reasons to get a pixel 3 :confused:

I Used the digital zoom already a lot for electronics macro shots, but because of the minimal focus distance I used to digital zoom/crop to get the shot I need

just made a super res zoom shot of some electronics on my desk. google compressed the picture when I made it into a collage but still, the difference is visible

First, thanks for the port. After every P3v5_GoogleCamera_6.1.013 shooting, when check photo immediately, instead of taking my picture, it puts me into google photos. If I wait a bit, it's okay.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 86rickard:
After playing around with the mod and the regular camera app on my Pixel2xl, the regular camera seems to take warmer shots. This is on HDR Enhanced on both.

The Pixel3 port can also sometimes blow out highlights more than the regular 2camera app.

Pictures however seem sharper on the port and colours sometimes better if it gets the white balance right.

Not sure what HDR+ option should be selected. What does Auto actually set the Pixel2xl to??

Yes it's normal. Because at that instant hdr is producing or working on the post processing of photo. So photo will be available only when its done. Dont close the camera till its complete. It takes only few seconds though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bingley:
Interesting, thanks. I'm on the same setup but I've just reflashed the ota files to try and reset anything that may have changed (though I'm not rooted) and still only get it in Night, but not in normal and no hevc. Annoying! Thanks anyway

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nickporwal:
I thought using the hardware config would be faster as it would utilize visual core chip. I find that faster in case of hdr pics. Also of hdr+ is ON, Camera automatically decides if hdr enhanced mode is required or not. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Its spanish, but google translate does its job ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nickporwal:
Oh...i guess i was not clear and said 2 things. There is an mode called as "hdr+" on the main screen of camera itself. It decides and use hdr+ enhanced wherever required. I will try enhanced hdr+ also as you have suggested. I read the article you gave. Thank you.

You were also talking about the different configurations of hdr available. I use "hardware zsl 2018".... This one use visual core chip and is faster. I think Google enabled that visual core chip for this.

Hi !

Thanks for the mod, the H265/HEVC toggle works great on my Pixel XL. It seems that the audio bitrate was updated from 96 KB/s to 192 KB/s, I would like to know if it is specific for this mod or if it was already the case with the stock Camera app ?

Thanks in advance !
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 86rickard:
On the camera or in the mod app HDR+ options??

So far on my Pixel2xl I have left the HDR+ options to Auto as I found messing with the options generated more questions than it was worth. I still don't know what setting Auto uses however.

In the camera, HDR Enhanced generates a better picture overall and has the legs to stretch into lower light. This is because it takes more pictures than regular HDR+. .. the down shot is it can be slower but this depends on lighting conditions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jinded:
I love this port, thanks for your work! The only issue I have that's preventing me from using it as my main camera app is that a few times when taking a picture in regular Photo mode the output is just a solid green screen. Strangely, the Motion part of the picture is what it should be:

Anybody want to do a test of all the hdr modes side by side to see how the photo processing differs on the pixel 2?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nickporwal:
I did experiment with all the possible configs...i found that using the default one's gives the best results. I am using pixel 3 default config.

Using hardware configs generate pink hue when used with flash. So for me default configs are better.

This mod is such a blessing for people who have older pixels. :D.

I also tried motion tracking, however it shows on screen that subject is being tracked but photos of the subject comes out blur. Not sure if i am doing it wrong. Can somebody please confirm this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 86rickard:
Not done a full test yet but so far noticed that the Pixel 3 is taking cooler white balance shots (which isn't great really and in line with a lot of comparisons online)

Also has a tendancy to blow highlights in favour of making the image have more shadow detail compared to the pixel 2 camera app.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] koax88:
i noticed that when using hardware hdr+ does'nt matter pixel 2017 or 2018, the quality a lil bit low compared to software HDR+, but nonetheless, its fast af. No noticeable loading.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cstark27:
This is a Google beta issue. I had this and had to un-enroll from the Beta and then update the app.

The PVC configs do not work with HDR+ Enhanced.

Auto: Pixel 1 (should be) Pixel 2016 Zsl, Pixel 2 is 2017 Zsl, Pixel 3 is 2018 ZslR. Should I just remove the config option, or move it into an Experimental setting? It seems to create more confusion than necessary. It is intended only for people who like to experiment and come up with their own conclusions. I do not recommend changing it from Auto.

I am still working on the next version. I got Lens to work with the mod (thanks for the tip [MENTION=7050182]MishaalRahman[/MENTION]), and I found that the Pixel 2 can utilize the new bokeh of the Pixel 3 but I need to find out a better way to enable it.

First of all, many thanks for your work. I have one question. I installed your Mod on the Nexus 6P and Pixel XL, as well on my Pixel 2 XL. Whats irritating me, is that every time I restart the App, it switches from HDR+ Extended (german = erweitert) to HDR+ with Motion Picture... No matter which option I use, this happens all the time. Interestingly this is not happening on the Pixel 2 XL. So what is the problem and what can I do, that the camera is always using HDR+ Extended instead of the normal one? I remember having this problem with a Pixel 2 XL camera mod on the Nexus 6P and Pixel XL as well. Do I have to manually change it every time?

Pixel 2 vs pixel 2 XL Portrait

Maybe I'm the only one who has noticed this or I'm just crazy but comparing this app on my regular pixel 2 vs my wife's pixel 2 XL, I notice her XL takes drastically better portraits with better bokeh than my phone. The same holds true to the Google official update on the play store. Can someone compare these two phones so I can see if I'm not the only one? I feel like the pixel 2 XL is showing the same quality bokeh and edge detection as the pixel 3.

I wonder if Google messed up the code in their app for the regular pixel 2 and cstark fixed it himself.

Pixel 2 XL seems fine however on my end. Someone else please compare and share your results.
