Since a lot of you had been commenting about noise reduction, here's a minor update. In this one, I only added master switches (see Screenshot) for all the noise reduction codes that I remember were added to this port.

GCam_6.2.024_N7P_test1.3a.apk

Again, just follow my recommended installation procedure for test1.3.

It looks like HDR+ denoise multiplier settings have a large effect on noise reduction while the other denoise parameters are more on fine tuning, but feel free to explore.

Let me know what settings combinations are working nicely on your part, and share sample shots too :)

Few more pixel 3 & Nokia gcam comparison. Left been pixel right been Nokia. Will test both night sight later
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
I think for further backrider testing I'm going to try with default AWB because that's the 1st thing I noticed on these pictures, the AWB on port is cooler than the p3
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Pixel 3 1st shot & latest backrider with default AWB 2nd

Might be pointless but worth the few minutes if testing to see lol
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Also since the pixel 3a & 3a XL are now officially out dose that mean ripping a Google camera from that instead of the flagship would maybe be better for ports especially on mid range ? Daft question but really intrigued
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Ok here's a few night sight on latest backrider. Back camera set to pixel 3. 1st shot normal HDR + 18 frames on default AWB, 2nd shot night sight with default AWB, 3rd shot night sight with pixel 3 AWB. Not sure why the last ns with pixel 3 AWB is more warmer than default AWB ns but here it is
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Ps this is test 1.3 not 1.3a. also I've not got the pictures mixed up that's definitely in the right order
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
And for sh1ts & giggles here's pixel 3 normal HDR+ & NS
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
1st HDR+ 18 frames default AWB, 2nd NS default AWB & last NS pixel 3 AWB. I'll stop now ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Switched rear camera base model to pixel 2xl now. Will test that tomorrow. In the mean time I'll wait for [MENTION=595870]Tomar[/MENTION] verdict
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
There's only one Google Camera for all the Pixels. And actually there are already codes pertaining to Pixel 3a/XL since the first release of 6.2, but it's almost no different from Pixel 3 (except that Portrait mode for Pixel 3a is a lot more zoomed in).
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Thanks for these comparisons, the photos look great! Also thanks for sharing it side-by-side with Pixel 3 results; you're right, it's a good idea to see the results from an actual Pixel device. Our device's AWB is odd in the first place, but at least it's consistent lol. Have you tried P2 AWB?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] kos25k:
hello.can u please add option to disable camera shutter sound?

congrats this is the most amazing Gcamera ever for my Xiaomi RN5 Pro!!!
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
I did try pixel 2 AWB yes but in my eyes the pictures was was just coming out very similar to pixel 3 AWB lol.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Actually I remember seeing a port with pixel 3aXL as a base option so now it makes sense why it was there. I seen on the verge or gizmo that as the sd670 dose not have the Google visual core so they tweaked the processing pipeline or something for the next mid range pixel series and said they won't lose a head to head with the flagship pixel 3 (3a XL also has same sensor as pixel 3 apparently) so forgive the noob question but would it make any difference to our ports if we were to have a pixel 3a XL base model? This is 1 sample I seen btw from pixel 3a XL & a normal pixel 3
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
I did see the reply saying there's no real difference from p3 to p3a XL btw lol. Just I quick thought
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] arvs47:
In my asus max pro m1 after some days of usage night mode not working ie no photo saving and shutter button not working .. After restart its ok ..

I tried belkin's043 port. And i got issue with the portrait mode same shutter button not working .. Any one who has this issues
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
The new 1,3a is good, only the noise reduction settings are not in my language, so I haven’t yet configured it, I want a little more details. compared with 6.2.024_MK_038 marlin -ku

the latter has a bit more detail. frontal and portrait very good!) Thank you.

This tread is for backrider version, you have the other one to post the new rest of the mods. Please don't spam!

Some of you who were playing around with RAW (DNG) files on the OP6/T probably noticed that these are somehow "wrong" in terms of whitebalance, exposure, and are also heavily desaturated. This makes it quite hard to even make these DNGs look like their JPEG counterparts.

A while ago Savitar was very helpful and gave me a quick tutorial on how to patch these DNG files created by GCam.

This way all mentioned cons are eliminated and you end up with a DNG which is much easier to edit out of the box.

So all credit goes to Savitar!

This patch is looking for DNG files stored in pictures/raw (default GCam raw folder).

It will not create new files, but keep the existing ones.

What is needed for this:

- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.al.exiftool

- https://drive.google.com/open?id=1idHkkSaEavevLQz-r5g04pTcIXzaAXsK

The files from the zip need to be extracted to your device's local storage main directory.

When all is setup, start exiftool, tap on the advanced settings button at the top right, select "Execute command" and insert this code:

(add it to favorites for future use)

Depending on how many DNG files you have stored on your device, patching can take a little while.

When the process is finished you will get a summary log.

Keep in mind that this patch does not detect already patched DNG files. There is no harm in reapplying the patch once more, other than it taking longer depending on the number of files.

The results speak for themselves:

Before and after patching the DNG files. All screenshots show unedited raw output after loading the DNG into Photoshop Express.

About the red coloration in Pixel3 AWB , i read it in some other device forum, it is suggested to turn saturation down to 0.7 to get natural skin color and no overexposure of reds. Try it out

I edited the OP and added an F.A.Q. section where I explained the respective purposes of the GCam settings. Hope that helps.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
I appreciate that you share these info, but I have a couple of requests:

The quoted post above is relevant to the other thread. As with your previous and perhaps later posts, try to make it as relevant to this port possible. Thanks for the heads up, though.

Please include the link to the original post/s where you got the information you're sharing. The user/s will appreciate the acknowledgement.

This seems to be an issue between GCam ports and Google Photos. I too have no idea why this happens nor how to monitor and fix it. It plays perfectly fine in desktop or elsewhere, though.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Ohh sorry about your situation. The fact that it consistently happens across different GCam ports, the best thing I could think of is a hard reset, but it's up to you if you wanna do it.

Bug while taking multiple Portrait photos

I have noticed that when you take a lot of Portrait photos one after another, the camera would lose some of them while saving/processing. Viewing them in Google Files/Photos shows some corrupted files and it also doesn't appear in the classic photo viewer. I tried turning off "Save directly to /DCIM/Camera" and I think it lessened this bug from happening. I just want to let you guys know and also hope to get this fixed.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Can you please share some comparison shots showing that this port produces, say, better quality?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
This looks like a bug with the "Save directly to /DCIM/Camera". Sorry about that. I'll mark the OP regarding this bug. For now, I suppose it's safest we keep the toggle turned OFF. Kindly be patient, too, as I can't promise that I'll fix it real soon. Thanks!

Few more while heading to kids school. Weather ain't very nice but maybe get some brighter ones tomorrow. Pixel 2 base & default AWB
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Started testing a bit.

Rear Cam tested, day landscape & indoors. These are the settings that gave me a good landscape result

-Model Pixel 3

-Custom Noise Reduction Enabled with backrider settings - its a headache to fine tune those, i leave it to you.

-AWB default - its optional and a matter of taste

No custom lib - didn't like it

Jpg 100%

HDR 24 frames - was necessary to get more details in the field. Although its making app slower.

Some users said there is a loss of sharpness and detailon latest ports, i see it now in the distance on landscape fields, and i dont think noise reduction has something to do with it. Even with 24 HDR frames i didnt get the detail i used to in the distance.

FrontCam

Pixel2 model used

Noise reduction on with backrider settings - this helped a lot but still getting noise in night sight

Night sight still to be tested but i see the same lack of details and sharpness already indoors. Strange is that if the light is enough, HDR does better than night sight, are we missing something there? Some special night sight settings maybe?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
Pixel 3xl is the best for me, good on the front camera...
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Pixel 3 base.. 1st default AWB. 2nd with p3 AWB. 3rd Nokia app. Default AWB & Nokia show closest to what my eye see . Last image just to be curious was took of wife's p20 without ai. P20 is turd here. About to start testing 1.3a next. Also will have a try with 2.6a like [MENTION=595870]Tomar[/MENTION] uses

[MENTION=5860496]carlosthwaites[/MENTION] bro, i love your samples! Keep posting more and pls tell always what cam base, awb and hdr you are using.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
All will be with 18 frames HDR+ and probably pixel 3 or pixel 2 XL base model. I'm going to try keep to default AWB now as I've come across more realistic white balance images while at default. If pix 3 AWB has a purpose its maybe in certain lighting like just before night or maybe even night. Will do what I can just don't want to spam too much lol
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
both NS on pixel 3 base. 1st with pixel 3 AWB 2nd default AWB
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Pixel 3 base again all NS. left images pixel 3 AWB & right images default AWB. This will be the end of the AWB difference now as I've already seen mentioned it's personal preference ?. Again thank you [MENTION=1511643]backri[/MENTION]der

[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
You may try disabling only HDR+ denoise multiplier while keeping the other two (back and front) camera enabled. My initial speculation is that it's the multiplier that causes the blurriness of photos.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
I can try but anyway i am not sure is that, maybe was just casuality. I think anyway it is imposible to recude noise and don't loose some detail. This gcam is based on arnova? Another that may be good if it is posible is to change package name, so it will be easier to compare.

Thanks!!!!

---------- Post added at 07:02 ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 ----------

Yes! Anyway i didn't test enough.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Suggestion:

I got a little tired of testing and trying the new 1.x versions and returned to test 2.6a which is

a good all arounder

.

Would be nice to give this port a final polish (fix the jpeg quality thing and add options that can improve quality like in latest port) so we have a great working port, instead of rushing to every new version and trying to make it work. Despite of small jpeg size, this port served me well with in most situations.

On daylight photos, i almost dont need autofix anymore and that's a great point.

Jpeg quality is fixed at 1.3/1.3a?

- JPEG quality now works (NOTE: this only works if Face warping is disabled)***

And I can confirm that it's fixed.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
And i am talking about 2.6
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
6.024 works a lot of better! Is faster, is not getting stuck like 6.0.21 does when you take to much pictures. It is not crashing when you switch modes.

I think 6.0.24 is a lot superior in everything than 6.0.21. It just need more fine tunning. I need to compare with other versions but it seems to me that 1.3a with noise reduction off is almost like cameraP from cstartk.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
Can you more precisely about this trip? Where exactly and how? I want to check. Thank.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
Here some pictures, the WB in 1.3.a is weird, i think the problem is Pixel 3 WB, it makes the picture look tinted. The only way i managed to fix it is using Pixel 2 XL with pixel 2 wb.

I use always CameraP to compare because it have a different package name, so i can use both cameras. I don't see big difference between the picture quality with NR off. Next time i will try with same WB to compare. Now, if i put in front camera Pixel 3 and in back Pixel 2, with WB = default. It is supossed to use Pixel 3 WB with the front and Pixel 2 with the back? Thanks!

In order: Camera P, 1.3a withour NR, same picture fixed with google photos automatic.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Strange is that nobody else is reporting the bugs you have mate. Also in previous posts. All i get in 2.6 is some delay if more pics are taken with NS. No crashes.

Could it be you have other versions installed too and causing conflicts, although they have different ID? I always have only one GCam installed.

Did you manage somehow to kill noise in front cam low light without killing clarity? HDR+ or NS, when lights are down cam gives massive noise.

About AWB i use P3 in combi with Xlib and get good colors in 2.6a.

In 1.3 when noise reduction switch is "off" it just uses the standard noise reduction settings that came with the port.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
I'll admit, the growing number of settings is overwhelming and bothersome. With that, I just want to point out that things in 6.2 doesn't work the same way as in 6.1, so I have to make adjustments and compromises: jpeg quality, for instance, only works if face warping is disabled. Why I'd stick with 6.2 if anyone's wondering: performance and stability, something that I found difficult to achieve in 6.1. But of course feel free to use whichever version or port you want ;)

Can I see more of your impressions about noise reduction settings? I can’t figure it out a bit and translate the settings in my language.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Sorry I missed this question: it took about a week I think. And if anyone's wondering why it happened--- I was constantly picking up my phone during GCam modding to test the app while it's still connected to the pc. Guess the phone didn't handle my rigorous movements lol. I was very much aware of this charging port issue as it was everywhere in the Nokia 7 Plus - Philippines group (nagbabasa naman ako haha), and unfortunately it happened to my device. Oh well, now I know what and what not to do when the device is plugged in ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] gawthamgdath:
can someone suggest me the best settings of backrider.555 version 1.3a of gcam?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] AthulSubash:
Everyone's having the same problem with charging. Plz do share if u get it fixed.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
Normally i used backrider version since months ago, only version installed. For me 2.6 worked ok but more laggy. All the versions of this gcam, not only backrider, worked buggy for me. For example if a took a couple of pictures with HDR+ and try to switch to another mod it got stuck and close. Sometimes quiet often. I tried with a lot of mods and all the same problem. I use it really intense anyway and was on cold weather, but i am sure is not my phone. In the other hand, if you don't have any problems you can stick to 2.6a that had things ok.

Talking about noise reduction, it is always a compromise between detail, sharpeness and noise. In my case i prefer detail always, it is quiet easy to kill detail and take out noise with post processing app but quiet difficult do it in the opossite way. Also i prefer better pictures in normal ligth and more noise pictures in Nigth sigth. A almost no ligth picture is never going to be tood enough in a phone to use it, you can make almost ok pictures sometimes.

Talking about front selfie camera, it makes sense maybe to not need so much detail in exchange of less noise, but i think the priority must be always back camera. In any case low ligth selfies for me are never so good, specially with this phone!

edit:

I left here my instagram where you can check my pictures, they are all with gcam and since backrider released his first mod are all with that mod. They are edited of course:

---------- Post added at 01:50 ---------- Previous post was at 00:54 ----------

Thanks for the info, i can't stay one week without phone so i will have to pay for the fix!

Talking about so many settings, i don't think they are too much, if someone don't know how to use them they just can use it default and is going to work for them. The ones who prefer more fine tunning can use it the way they like. I think the problem with to many settings is when a lot of different devices use the app and you need to insert the settings manually. In our case i don't think it is a problem. Anyway is my opinion, maybe other people thinks different.

Thanks for your time!
