Feature request

Hello all! :)

I have tested many different GCam MODs recent weeks and definitely can say that the latest test1 version is my favorite!

I love the quality and the speed especially that in good light I can shoot very FAST and many pictures with good quality with HDR+ turned OFF.

I still keep in my phone the older 1.3a and 2.6a versions of the MOD but I'm not using them at all anymore :)

Many thanks to the developer for the good job and the time spend in this project!

:)

I have a feature request for 2 valuable functions which I'm using in the marlin-ku GCam MOD

1. Video Bit rate change option (check the attachment)

2. Auto-Exposure HDR+ settings

This 2 options are very well working in the marlin-ku GCam MOD

and I think that they can be valuable features in my favorite GCam MOD here! :)

Good Luck to all!

I don't think you own Nokia 7 Plus ?

At least the screenshots tell a different story
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] lubo777:
I'm not hiding the device I have ... :) :) :)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
forgive me, but I see soap. Beautiful, but where are the details ??, the inscriptions are not readable. Or so it seemed to me?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
The latest. I'm just that typical point-and-shoot kind of person who likes to keep things as simple as possible :)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Here's a minor update. Just a couple of fixes and a little quality improvement.

GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.1

Changelog:

- Fixed beauty mode

- Fixed underexposed front camera with HDR+ Enhanced and Night Sight

- Attempt to improve Night Sight for front camera (thanks BSG for the codes): front camera Night Sight should have lesser noise now; however, you should keep the phone steady a bit longer especially in really low light.

NOTE: If the app is lagging or acting weird, just clear app data and follow the installation instructions described in the previous version. This has been a very stable build in my device.

*I read a comment at the Nokia 7 Plus PH group about the greenish tint in Night Sight. While I haven't experienced this, you might wanna try playing with the Pixel AWB setting.

Known issues:

- If Motion autofocus is disabled, manual white balance works with tap-to-focus but white balance resets every time the app refocuses. Tap-to-focus again to re-apply manual white balance.

- Tap-to-focus in video mode breaks autofocus; switch modes/cameras to get it working again.

I think this version is switching very fast and it's faster at UI mode than any other version.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Danilo Pantelić:
Nice version, GCam settings info in about section is also nice touch! :)

GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.1 Test

HDR 14, Night S. HDR 20

Jpeg 100%

Pixel AWB off

Rear Cam

Something funny with the black levels as mentioned before. See attachments, on the left of the painting darker spots come out pitch black.

Edit: Tested night sight outdoors, it has more detail than 2.6a and just a little noise. Well done!

Front cam

Great job! noise went away without killing detail!

Pixel3awb now gives a little pale skin color in low light HDR/nightsight .

First pic HDR auto, second HDR forced third Night sight.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Few test shots from latest 1.1

14 frames HDR+

Pixel AWB always on

100% jpeg

Jumped from 2.6a to test can say that this port is definitely going in the right direction. Will test for a day or 2 so I can test night sight and see if I can reproduce the issue mentioned above from [MENTION=595870]Tomar[/MENTION]. Also selfie quality I really like, it definitely got better
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
The 3rd picture of the egg is usually a awkward thing to capture. Besides it been near the window it is a weird area of the room to capture anything decent so definitely fhubs up upto now
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Few more from 1.1 same settings. Last 2 shots was normal then ns
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
What i find strange on 6.2.030 is the p3awb behavior. Pale skin color on front cam, better results without it on sunny conditions, better result with it on cloudy days (rear cam). This is getting tricky...

Back.rider what has changed on 6.2.030 affecting white balance compared to previous versions?

Tip for nightsight: Tap to focus on a dark point brings a bit overexposure of highlights. Better tap on some medium lighted spot or dont tap at all.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] volka_.:
Hello,

Is it possible for you to add a selfie camera mirror to prevent selfies from being flipped.

If yes, would be glad to have it.

Thanks
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Later versions of GCam seem to have worse black crush vs older versions (v5 and older?). I'll check real soon if there are newer libs already developed, I've been quite outdated now.

I have been tweaking P3 AWB since 6.2.024_test1.3, and the latest one's a bit different too. I don't use P3 AWB that often, only in situations when the phone's stock AWB fails miserably. I'm on tight schedule right now, I'll check on that soon.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
On the latest I don't think the AWB is as harsh tbh. Noticed in earlier ports in lowish light especially outdoor that the p3 AWB was quite aggressive. As I've had hold of the pixel 3 itself and shot several shots in different scenarios I've seen how the pixel 3 handles white balace. Still testing latest port tho, so far so good ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
I copied the P3 AWB algorithms from 1.3a specific for the front camera (rear cam AWB seems fine, so didn't touch that). The value changes are subtle, but it may produce different results in actual practice. Try it out and let me know.

EDIT: posted an official version update here.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Success. Tested front cam non HDR, auto, forced, portrait, nightsight under various light conditions, no more pale skin color. :D

About black crash on the rear cam, i first noticed that on 6.2.024 , did not have it in 6.1.021.

And about rear cam P3AWB, i took some difficult sunset shots with a lot of bright/dark points, had to use autofix to bring up darks afterwards, got better pics on the ones without. As said its tricky, use as you wish.

Video stabilization option not available?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] kevin.kvik:
Last option in Video section
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Few more today from v1.1

HDR+ 14 frames, p3 awb always on

100% jpeg. 1st shot of the white car here came out very good compared to other ports with the awb on. Usually bin this lighting with it on it would of usually been alot more blue & I've noticed the same around the board upto now too so love that about this 1.1, will try find a example of the white car shot were the AWB was too strong
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
More from 1.1 same settings from above. Love the colour
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
Did you compare 1.1 with 1.3 or 1.3a? I will not say in good light, but with poor sanctification, I see fewer details and do not understand AWB, while luminescent artificial sanctification bardyurs went to some strange purple. I have only two questions to this mode, the details and AWB did not figure it out. While removed and tested another mod loya nokia 8.1. I like it there in detail, but the front one is very noisy in the dark with color noise. Here in 1.1 frontalka does not make noise, well.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Done a few but give up after a while. Noticed this tho. 1.3 left & 1.1 to the right. Noise on 1.3 was slighyhigher in the shadow than 1.1 in this screenshot of zoomed pictures
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
1.3а - 1,1

first and third 1.3a. the truth is 1.3 a noise cancellation is not 0.05 a 2, as I noted above, that the noise was added to me, but the details with a value of two are more .... Sorry, the translation doesn’t express my thoughts exactly here.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
but some kind of purple instead of white, strange .

this is a bad consecration, difficult shot.and I understand it is P3 AWB, if I was not mistaken in the settings .. so I usually do not use P3 AWB
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
this is a bad consecration, difficult shot.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
6.2.030 Nightsight with 20 HDR frames

The auto focus and tap to focus played some tricks not focusing right on the palm tree (pic 1)

I used the focus setting "far" to get it right (icon for this setting is on the top right corner over the viewfinder, in case somebody missed it)

Also the exposure on pic 2. I had to take several shots tapping at different points to get a balanced exposure. This is a difficult shot, many lights and shadows.

Think i should use the slider for this.

Pic 3 low light and not many light sources, 1 shot and it came out great.

Also comparing HDR auto and HDR 20 i got better pic with 20 frames on NS.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] lubo777:
Yesterday I discovered that I have some problems with the Focus on my MOTO G7 Power with the latest version. I don't now if there is such a problem with Nokia 7 Plus camera, probably the problem is Moto camera hardware specific ...

The problem is that in wide scenes (not closeup) in Camera Mode the focus is 100% NOT correct where I have tapped on the screen ... :(

In Portrait Mode everything is OK with the Focus ... very strange.

On closeup scenes the Focus is much better in Camera and Photo modes, as you can see bellow.

On all pictures the Focus is on the strawberry.

Camera mode NO HDR

Camera mode HDR+

Camera mode HDR+ enchanced

Portrait mode NO HDR+

Portrait mode HDR+

Portrait mode HDR+ enhanced

Night Sight

Night Sight
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Google AI Blog has a sample tutorial on exposure compensation with Night Sight here. Might be useful :)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Repost (kinda), just to make it official.

Change/s:

- Small adjustments to the front camera P3 AWB. Nothing else. Thanks [MENTION=7851657]Tomar777[/MENTION] for the testing and verification.

GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.1awb

*I've been seeing comments (in Facebook) saying the latest versions are lagging. If it does lag on your device, simply do a clean install and follow the installation procedures as described in previous versions. I gotta tell you, it's working perfectly in my device :)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
I finally decided to install your application (this latest version), and I admit that this a very very good application.

The night mode is very good, the speed of the shots is really good and everything works nickel. Bravo?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Went to the beach for a few hours & grabbed these from v1.1

Same settings as above posts
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
at first glance it is very beautiful!) but how to see the original? How do you think the sharpness, the details? If I send mail later send me?)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Sharpness seems ok, I did take a few of the same shots on the nokia app and the gcam just killed the stock app so aslong as that happens then I'm happy
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:

Video mode auto fps like 6.2.024 missing

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

30 and 60 fps only
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rubens95:
Nokia 7 plus can only record at 30 fps so any settings is useless
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
For me 1.3.a quality was really bad, is not even worth to compare with 1.1 that works amazing. Also i think it is using less battery and processing faster.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
and compare to the latest version?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
I do not understand how, only I have one in 1.1 sharpness and clarity at night and with poor consecration in less than 1.3a ??? I kind of did the tests, but I had no opportunity to compare head-to-head. Probably again have to install the mod and test. I would like settings, as in 1.3A, add and exposure and exposure settings, I saw modes where these double-tap settings open immediately, conveniently.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
If you read back.riders post you will understand that he is trying to make a simple port (raw) for everyday use. if you need all this extra settings, you should look for another port.

------------

Guys sorry that i will be the bad guy again, but

filling this topic with useless posts

makes it hard to follow and look for info.

Post test pics when you have found or set something different, there is THIS TOPIC for just posting pics. It is enough for every new version to just post 3-4 pics with your settings,the rest is spam.

Reminding again, this is a Nokia 7 plus topic , developer can't an will not fix anything for other phones.

Ps Back.rider thanx for the slider tip on NS, it helped alot
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
I read and remember which port it does and I do not require a bunch of settings, but I just expressed a desire for a couple of settings, ISO, shutter speed and noise, as in 1.3a. ISO settings and shutter speeds. but in general, I write and ask about sharpness, details, and you are personally silent and for some reason do not answer a simple question. I say that I have less details than in previous mods, the developer himself asked to test and participate. I attached the screens above in comparison. I am personally interested in your opinion on 1.1 your conclusion, and you are silent with vyvrm. Is this port better milking you than the previous ones or not? I will install it again today and will check it. I have the same as your 7 + .. Good to you.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
My friend, sometimes i dont understand your posts because of bad translation. its hard to guess what you mean. I like the sharpness of the latest port. Its better than the 2.6a.

I did not use the 1.3x versions at all because of the front cam noise, i just tested it 5 minutes and uninstalled it, so i can not tell you about it.

It is nice that you participate and test and show results of testing of course. The second part of the previous post was not referring to you.

I am using the latest port of back,rider all the time now. GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.1awb is my choice.

i just like to point and shoot, dont want to mess with "pro mode" all i do is taking pics on the move.

If you have any other questions about 6.2.030 i will try to answer.

PS i am not an expert, all i learned about mobile photography came from forums.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
I'm using the 1.1 now just not the AWB version I find that it's a great all round port. The spamming is probably me ill have to remember the thread is for testing and reporting in differences lol.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
we understood each other, thank you. I installed, I will try again. I trust you both. God bless you.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
I try the new mod 1.1 again and see in the evening.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
Version 1.1, 1.1a and 1.1wb are quiet similar, just minor tweeks. For me they work amazing! I think it is the version to use for sure.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] taurnilf:
Firstly, many thanks for the hard work.

It kinda stutter when in night mode.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
I installed the last 1.1awb last night and installed a 2.6a mod. Compare them in the forehead. Almost everywhere, 2.6a lags behind by a bit in sharpness, clarity, but mostly in the evening, at night, with no bright light. However, these modes with the sun are almost indistinguishable. There are photos, where and with the increase, I do not see the difference. And a couple of times the night priuel was better, lighter and more natural was 2.6a. AWB did not include, and I do not really like it. Good day to all. 1,1awb is not bad), thanks).3awb I don't like him very much))
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
But what exactly does AWB bring? And this is useful under what circumstances?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
I think the AWB is best used in lower light but sometimes can help in other scenes aswell. In my opinion (other too) the default AWB if the 7 plus is all over the place lol. With AWB it's a personal preference I think some like it default and some like it with p3 awb. Earlier ports the p3 AWB was sometimes too cold (usually in night time shots with street light) I compared a earlier 6.2** port on 7+ with a real pixel 3 and the p3 AWB on the port was handled slightly different from what the real p3 was producing but then again we're working with lower end hardware and missing parts from the real p3.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
On this quick comparison here the AWB always on (left) and always off (right)

With the tree it's not a great deal I don't think but with the rose wich was inside the awlways on is definitely the more accurate image to what I see with my eyes. I think it's definitely a case of what the individual prefers. The white petals were not cream (as seen in AWB always off) and the red rose color came out more accurate on the AWB always too. Not a great comparison but ATM I'm not out to take more to show
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Edit..... This was the AWB always off rose
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
There are a few things I find a pity on the cam group, it's the bokeh effect. It is very good for portrait but to take an animal, an object or a complete person is really not terrible... shame.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
The Auto white balance work like **** on Nokia 7 plus, is ultra mega buggy, missing half of the time. So it is almost imposible to make a port with a good auto balance when the camera module works like sht. Is Nokia who must fix it! The same with the second camera, is terrible, unusable for anything. I think Nokia has been worsened the camera with every update.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Here's a couple of examples. Not the best examples, but anyway here they are. When disabled, the default white balance config does an okay job in capturing the actual color (temperature) profile of the photo. Check out p3awb_off and _on (the building) below: It was a cloudy day and blue tints everywhere, and that's the reality. P3 AWB ON does a really good job on removing those blue tints, bringing out the "real" colors; however some people may like more realistic colors, so again you can play around with the settings.

P3 AWB also becomes useful to compensate for our device's problematic white balance. Check out cropped samples p3awb_off_2 and _on_2 below: reality is the ON photo, while in OFF the camera terribly struggles with white balance and gave a blue tint (other devices I have does not show any blue at all).
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] lubo777:
This GCam version definitely have focus problems in Camera mode on MOTO G7 Power device, but I don't think that this focus problem is hardware specific ...

As you can see on the pictures below the

Point to focus in Camera mode

on a specific place of a wide shots

is not working as expected

, the same picture made in Portrait mode with focus on the same place is working OK ...

As you can see there is a difference ...
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
The auto white balance uses Nokia's white balace I believe. To turn it off all u have to select always off or u will get terrible white balace. This is down to Nokia but somewere in the close future there's going to be a update for the camera app for some Nokia phones (no word of what Nokia handsets as yet I don't think) but all been well the new update will fix the AWB mess out and that could reflect on how it manages the AWB in these ports too.

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

Unfortunately [MENTION=1511643]backri[/MENTION]der is building these ports for Nokia 7 plus only so if there's any issues with other devices he probably won't stress to much to fix it. If it works on different devices then that's a bonus I guess but if not then it's probably better to seek another port. Have u tried bsg or tolyan009 ports ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Same complains with [MENTION=7139748]NahuelMS[/MENTION]. And to be clear, Always off means disabling P3 AWB entirely, therefore you'll be using the device's auto white balance (which again is half terrible). High hopes HMD fixes this issue in a future update.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] lubo777:
This subforum here is a bit funny :)

If you ask just a simple question here at best way you will receive a "advice" from a local advocate who is answering with the default mantra: "this mod is build only for ... bla bla" and your question is completely ignored. Probably because in the subforum here the rules made from somebody do not tolerate out of the box thinking.

This nonsense, of course, has no meaning in the xda-developers.com Community.

Probably this rules are suitable for the USERS in a Micro$oft / Nokia .... forum?

:) :) :)

I'm testing many different Google Camera MODs and many of them are working so good (with correct focus) and they are so rich with valuable settings.

Especially the MGCam_v.3.5.2_R4X !!!

The GCam MOD here in this subforum is limited in functionality and I cleaned it from my phone.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
You stated that I'm your case you was facing focus problems in your device (Moto g7 power?) This sub forum was created by [MENTION=1511643]backri[/MENTION]der to share his work what he's developed for the Nokia 7 plus device. We install these ports he's made for us nokia 7 plus users and give him feedback and help him finesse his port. I'm not sure what suitable answer you were looking for. The app we use here (v1.1awb for me and many others) was made & tweaked by backrider for the Nokia 7 plus & with all the feedback and testing with different settings (because older ports from backrider did have more settings ie base model ect) but we tested as well as backrider himself and he now has set certain settings which can't be changed (only newer ports). I'm sorry if you didn't get the answer you were looking for. If you require further settings maybe try older ports from backrider and see if u can make a nice setup for your device. Have a good day sir
