I am using Miniqueta V5.0 and it's really GOOD.

But recently I updated to Android 11, OOS 11.

OOS gallery ignores photos taken by Miniqueta, not showing them at all.

Android 10 works good, 11 not.

Photos are in DCIM/Camera folder, but Gallery not showing. After phone restart, they are vissible in gallery, but restart is not solution. I wiped all app data, did't help.

Are you using stock gallery, or what is your choice?

Any tip how to show Miniqueta photos in gallery?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pablo.x:
You'll have to use another gallery app.

This is a known bug on Android 11 ROMs.

The other way it's to use a new version of GCam, like BSG 8.1 or similar that doesn't have those problem.

This is due to using an old GCam with A11...
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gborg3:
To be able to use Photos or whichever gallery with the photos that disappear, I use Simple Gallery. I select the new pictures taken that will not show up, and I share them to FB Messenger in a chat with myself. Once they are sent, received, and downloaded they will all show in Photos or anything else. Since this is necessary when using Miniqueta, Miniflex on A11 I typically use BSG camera. It has less scene modes but it works great and pictures automatically exist in all galleries.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nsane457:
For OOS11, I'm using MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1k_MGC.apk. It has all the features and hasn't crashed at all. You need to tweak the settings to enable it, though.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Eighthourblink:
Is there something special I need to enable to get any of these camera apps working?

Reason why im looking for an alternative then what the default camera app is that, flash functionality doesnt seem to work for night shots. The phone takes the picture, flash is enabled, but the picture turns out dark.

Looking into alternatives, i have tried couple.

7.4_GCam_MJL_v5.0_Miniqueta-fix1.apk

MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1x_MGC.apk

MGC_8.4.300_A10_V0_MGC.apk

Each time, the app instantly closes / crashes. Earlier today i did update to the newest firmware and LineageOS update that usually comes out on Thursdays.

Thanks,

I've had issues with camera apps too. I now use Open Camera with the Camera2 API setting turned on, or else there will be issues.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Eighthourblink:
Thanks for the information. My camera flash issue has been resolved. (after turning on Camera2 API) Settings
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] phr0zen:
I'm sure my gf will get pissed but oh well... Here's a picture with the gcam in portrait mode. Think it turned out pretty good if I don't say so myself.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jackennils:
My phone didn't ask me. It's always launching OP camera. How can I change it to GCam?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DirtyShroomz:
Clear defaults on your stock camera. Mine works just fine even after reboot.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ultraman666:
Yep mine as well no issues at all
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] roter$baron:
How do I edit the boke effect after I took the picture like on the pixel? Or is that not possible?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ScOULaris:
Not possible on anything other than the Pixel devices at the moment, I believe.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] gagan1491:
If you are looking to edit Depth (bokeh) or apply color splash on portraits, then use Google 'Photos' app for the human portraits taken via gcam app. Edit the portrait photo using default editor for Photos app. However, if you shoot portrait photo of an object you won't find Depth option in edit there and it seems the portrait feature with gcam doesn't work on objects..
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DJVendetta86:
What do you mean?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DirtyShroomz:
Go to your settings, apps, op6 camera and then defaults> clear defaults. Next time you double click power it'll ask you what app you want to use. Click gcam. Exit gcam, double click power again and this time gcam should be the main option with "always" underneath, click that to set gcam as your default camera. Now every time you double click power gcam should automatically launch
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] coolguy:
It resets eventually..
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DirtyShroomz:
Hasn't for me and it's been a couple of days. Hopefully it stays put. Will report if it does.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] phr0zen:
May not be what you're looking for but an interesting feature nonetheless...

After you take a portrait (blurry background), go into the edit screen and choose Color Pop. Normally this keeps the background blurry and turns it grayscale, while keeping the person's in focus, in color.

If you select the background, the person's will now be blurry and the background will be in focus and the entire picture stays in color.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] afgeeek:
I do not have color pop as an option. What version of Google photos are you using?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:
If you folks want to try something new the latest gcam for the mi8 final from bsg works on the 6t. It also let's you set 6p specs and 100% hdr quality. Shooting at 4000 x 3000 but file sizes even zoomed in are much more detailed and remaining high.

Front cam not working.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mjnoles1:
The Pixel 3 XL still takes better photos than the 6T with Google Camera Port, in your opinion?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:
Just for an example. With stock or the normal gcam it was destroying image quality when zoomed and file sizes less than 2mbs. Now look at this. This is just a 50% zoomed section of a recliner. File size stays at 7.22 mbs.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] coolguy:
Just tried it. The front cam potrait is not working.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.013_MI8_FINAL_V1b.apk
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bp328i:
Absolutely, and don't get me wrong the OnePlus 6T does take good pictures. I'm using it right now it's my daily driver but I have a couple of cruises coming up and I will be taking my Pixel 3 XL.

Even using the port there is a noticeable difference between the pictures. I'll post some up later when I get home comparing the two and tag you in it.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:
I haven't tried that. Only interested in in the back cam really.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DJVendetta86:
Has anyone had this issue:

My stock gallery suddenly can't load pictures taken on my gcam. Mostly portrait photos..... This just happened today and honestly I hate Google photos app. I prefer stock... Anyone got a solution? Thanks

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

I did. They showed up grey on the thumbnail and wouldn't open. Ended up deleting them (which showed they did not delete), then clearing the data and rebooting. Luckily I had sent the pictures to someone through Google photos before doing this as I lost them.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:
Pic of the pup. She's not happy plus she's sick with cancer. Shot with the Mi8 cam. 4000x3000, 7.03mbs.

For comparison. 1.1 Gcam port. 4656x3492, 4.39 mbs.

Both are face focused, but once you zoom in even though the 6t gcam resolution is higher it's missing tons of detail and shows by the file size. The detail missing between this port and the stock is the main question.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Another example of the zoom resolution error in gcam and stock. Sitting 10 ft away, 42% zoom. Zoom in on the pics to see the full difference.

6t Mi8 gcam, 4000x3000, 6.05 mbs

6t gcam 1.1 1526x1144, 572.06 kbs. That's how much the zoom cut down the resolution and file size.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ultraman666:
What settings are you using on the MI8?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] davemuir:
Only certain users have the option.

It's a stunning effect, I'm not sure why it hasn't been rolled out to everyone yet.

edit: try taking a portrait photo with the Gcam app, then edit it in Photos
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] edward78:

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mjnoles1:
Does the Gcam have the Super Res Zoom that the Pixel 3 has?

Also, does the Gcam have the feature that you can take a picture of something and the phone will pull the item up online?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jackennils:
Google Lens is included, yes. Super Zoom? Haven't seen anything like this.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] coolguy:
Yep only potrait photos show color pop when editing in Google photos app.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ultraman666:
Ok I'll try this settings
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] coolguy:
Isn't 6P inferior to pixel 3 setting in the gcam app?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Popsicle toast:
hey, so can someone post like side by side comparisons of the stock vs gcam
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:
Not sure you can try what you want. Just the 6p settings historically gave large file sizes and nice detail. And I had a 6p so that's what I use.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

I'm hoping that someone can compare the specs of the Mi8 cam and figure out how they are getting detail and zoom to work that doesn't work on stock or the gcam designed for the 6t

that's not true for all banking apps! unfortunately :/
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nosferatu.:
I double clicked power button phone asked me which of my 3 camera apps to use (Gcam, Stock, another I have installed). I clicked GCam it works. I just rebooted the phone. It loads the stock camera. If I close out and re do it again and again and again it loads the GCam. Then I did it again it went to stock camera. It seem to go back and forth between what camera it wants to launch.

Good to know. Regardless not a deal breaker for me personally but yes I agree annoying.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bp328i:
On the second and third page of this thread
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DirtyShroomz:
Stock first, gcam second
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DirtyShroomz:
And again, gcam first, stock second. This time both on hdr+ manually focused on white Adidas. This time op6 wins (maybe, I feel it's a bit washed out) when manually focused. Night shot Google wins hands down 100% of the time. I'll have to do some more comparisons now that I switched op6 to hdr all the time
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DirtyShroomz:
This is night shot. Stock first, gcam second. As you can see a lot more color from gcam
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] doomsayereh:
Anyone have the issue where portrait mode only works on ffc? Works amazingly well that way, but doesn't work at all for rear cam.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] hartleyshc:
It's mentioned many many times. Portrait mode only works on faces, front or back camera. It's the way the feature is ported and it's not going to change.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ProudRed:
Need the Nexus 6P configuration one G Cam. Details are missing.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] phr0zen:
Yes the gcam has more color, but are the colors the most accurate? This has a lot to do with the color of your lightbulbs as well, vs natural lighting. My experiences have been good with it.

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 AM ----------

This may be true with gcam, but the stock camera uses the depth sensor to see close items, so you can use portrait mode on things other than human faces.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] hartleyshc:
Oh sorry, I thought this was the Google camera app thread.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] t2jbird:

4th GCAM Night Sight
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nicelysedated:
I really think the stock camera app looks better in both of these examples.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] phr0zen:
It is. I simply stated that because everyone is comparing the 2. It's nice to have knowledge of both apps than none for either.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] t2jbird:
OnePlus designed their camera for scenarios like this (street lit buildings), but Google designed theirs to take overall decent photos in terrible lighting of a variety of subjects.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] t2jbird:

2nd GCAM

Edit: I don't know why those 2 are sideways
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Razertje:
[MENTION=5418612]t2jbird[/MENTION] In your scenarios al like Stock NightScape the most.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] phr0zen:
I agree. The stock regular photo looks better as well. Gcam is too dark on regular, which it's night time sooo...

But the gcam night mode looks overexposed/washed out.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] harveydwijs2:
I have a weird problem with Gcam. When i am trying to open the photo i just took it goed automatically to my Google Photo's instead of the picture u just took. If i use the stock cam and i click on the photo (in the camera app) i just took, it opens the picture instead of the gallery. Anyone else have this problem and knows how to fix it?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jackennils:
Seems to be a bug when using this GCam version. As this is no official app, things like that happen.

I can confirm this behavior.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ScOULaris:
This only happens if you try to view the picture while it's still processing. If you wait a second or two before switching over to the camera roll it won't kick you out to Photos. Only way around this otherwise is to install GCam as a system app with root privileges.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jackennils:
Interesting, thanks. I'll try that!

Edit: Nope, no success.

Edit 2: Does anyone know, why GCam only shows 12 MP in the settings as the maximum for 4:3?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] IKnowIRock!:
Works great!

For those who are looking for adjusting the portrait blur, take the portrait from Gcam and go into Edit using Google Photos. There you can find the Depth option. Works flawlessly.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] pychobj2001:
But can the stock camera do this! Selfie night mode gcam. We only had a street light that was far away lighting us.

Night mode does over expose for night sky line pictures sometimes but captures more detail then stock 6t camera. The 6t one only drags the shorter and stacks a few frames. Google drags the shutter just a bit and stacks a bunch of frames and does it's AI stuff with those frames and the long shutter picture. So less noise because of the lower value iso it will use and the faster shutter. I took a picture under my blanket. Stock 6t camera night mode. Unusable mush. Google is really nice. No mush. I'm excited to see this port get tweaked but so far I love it to death!!!
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] superiscch:
Anyone knows why I always get message 'app is not installed' when I want to install this camera? Tried different apks.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] synapsesburned:
Are there any gcam 5.x ports that work on the 6T?

I've tried a ton of them and they all either seem crash when opening (typically can't connect to camera / fatal error) or have a black screen in the viewfinder (adjusting support level override doesn't fix it) or will capture but not HDR+ at all (even if it says it is).
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] GloomySVT:
Stock camera has some bizarre image compression going on. Can see it when zoomed in. Wonder if anyone can figure out how to increase the jpg quality to reduce/remove compression on the images. Might get rid of that weird oily looking pixels mess.

What's the difference in version 1.1_build.6.1.013 and version 1_build.6.1.013 ?

Yes, that is what I meant by this comment:
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] pychobj2001:
I'm thinking that's the noise reduction at work, not compression. Could be wrong tho

Hi Guyz,

Can you please help me here. I am an iPhone user and have very limited knowledge about android phone.

I am thinking of making a switch to OnePlus 6t and one of the main reason is its Google camera porting.

Can you please help me and confirm if I can install this Google Camera APK on T-Mobile version of OnePlus 6t ? I know that has bootloader locked, does this means I can not install any APK apps other than Google Play store ones ??

Thanks,

S
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ultraman666:
There is a new one released today it fixes the front camera in night more
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] noneabove:
The latest one for today just keeps crashing whenever I take a selfie and the front camera doesn't capture anything in night mode (looks like it takes it, says "hold still", nothing is saved)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Quasar:
You can install the port on the T-Mobile variant. You can also install APKs with the bootloader locked all you want, no problem.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] afgeek3:
I found out that I can get the color pop option when editing a photo. the Photo as to be taken in portrait mode. This also works on the iphone as well. I also found out from testing that the picture has to be edited (in google photos) on the phone you took the portrait from. you can not take a picture in portrait mode, share the picture with someone, and have then them try to edit it and get the color pop option. must have to do with the metadata
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] 787Dreamliner:
One quick question: whats the most up to Date Version of the GCam Port? I searched through 5-6 pages, I think just to ask is better. The Version I got is two weeks old. (6.1.013)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] twinkyman90:
Yes. You can install this on the T-mobile variant. I am using it now on that phone. It still has some bugs but it works for the most part.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Looks like others have already reported that the portrait mode doesn't work on the FFC, just wanted to report that I have the same behavior. Tmobile Variant.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jackennils:
This did not work for me. You sure it should work?

Also, GCam only shows 12 MP instead of 16 MP as max image size in 4:3. Does anyone else have this? :confused:
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] twinkyman90:
Yeah in the thread someone mentioned that it's actually still 16mp even though it says 12. I can't confirm that this is true or not.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] aakashmaji16:
Hey chill!

The photos app shows wrong details about the image captured through gcam.

Clear data or restart the device. It will be fine.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:
The front cam on the Mi8 port is broken. And I don't think the input settings are working on the latest c version as the file sizes are small. I'm back to the b version which is great.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ScOULaris:
Yeah. It is. Here are the picture details for a shot I took with GCam on the 6T.

It says 12MP in GCam itself, but the pictures are definitely 16MP.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:
Couple more pics from the Mi8 b version.

Maggie. 7.34mbs

And the crappy weather recently. 12.39 mbs

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Just for the info the Mi8 gcam is shooting in 12 mp but file size and detail is far superior. Neither the stock cam nor our gcam port are functioning correctly on the 6t.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ScOULaris:
Very interesting, indeed. The detail in those pics looks far more in line with how 12MP pictures turn out on actual Pixel/Nexus devices with GCam. That being said, those file sizes are enormous. 2-3x that of both stock OP camera and the GCam port right now.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:
That's been my issue from the beginning. The stock cam and our gcam port look fine on our devices screen but once you zoom in you see just how poor they really are. Either the noise reduction / file compression is working overtime or the software is just not using the cameras properly.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] T-Rex:
Hey man can you please provide a link of the Mi8 camera because the one that i used makes the camera force close. Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill3508:

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] saccentekennedy:
It's saying it's installing as an update to an existing app... So we can't use this one and the one on the OP side by side?

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ryanfraser38:

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] oneplus6t:
im a new owner of a oneplus 6tas well and wanted to install this on my unit. but the problem is idk if all i need is to download the nov 8 update on the gcam then it will automatically install the app? (this is my first android phone, so i have no clue. thanks)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Krsmqn:
You will download what's called an "apk" file, which you will be able to install as a normal app. You may have some permissions, and settings to set in order to complete the install. Read everything carefully and there shouldn't be any issues.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Quasar:
As the post above me states, just download it, and tap on the notification that says "file downloaded", if it doesn't go to the install screen automatically. It might then give you an alert box saying something along the lines of "this source isn't allowed to install unknown apps". Tap on settings, and allow the source to install apps, and then install.
