This is more of a test version for the purpose of getting feedback. I added selections for camera model and denoise multiplier for front and rear cameras. I would really appreciate it if you share your recommended camera model and denoise setting combinations here with photo comparisons/samples. Out-of-the box the defaults are set to Pixel 3 XL model for both cameras, and 100% and 400% denoise for rear and front cameras, respectively (which is, in fact, the default settings of the previous test1).

Just to share my initial trials this evening, the Pixel 2 XL model was the best for my taste. That's just me, and again, I'd appreciate if you share your settings here with photo samples.

GCam_6.2.024_N7P_test1.2

Changelog vs test1.1:

- Added front and rear camera model selections.*

- Added front and rear denoise multiplier selections.

*only Pixel 3 XL model supports Pixel 3 AWB.

NOTE: Fresh install or clear data after installation is highly recommended.

Known issues:

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

- Manual white balance in camera mode doesn't work, but it works in other modes, typically with tap-to-focus.

- If Google Photos app lags, try clearing the app cache.

Download:

GCam_6.2.024_N7P_test1.2

P.S. I'll be taking a break from coding for a while. I have to send my device to the service center since its loosened charging port is getting worse. I've no idea when the device will return, but in the meantime your feedback and photos are very much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the gcam port. I'm really appreciated :o

Quick test on front camera model and no green tint with Nexus 6P model. Other model give me green tint on zenfone 5z.

In the past, gcam 6.1 doesn't work in some devices if the front camera model was set to 'Nexus 6P' by default. The app will crash when open. It seem to be very specific camera sensor problem. (omnivision?) Only works with 'Pixel 3' or 'Pixel 3 XL'.

But now in gcam 6.2, every front camera models now work including Nexus 6P. I don't have to switch the camera app to use for the selfie.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] arvs47:
Yes Omnivision has problems .
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
About the nightsight on the front camera... no hope... noise in blacks insists no matter what and nexus model is a big downgrade.

on low light there is even more noise on nexus in 6.2 than in 6.1 so it has something to do with the 6.2 port itself and not with the current settings.

So for night selfies flash should be used

Night sight rear camera, i think the Pixel 3 is fine, couldn't see differences on my test field compared with 2.6a and pixel 2 model.

Thanx for the test version back.rider, we tried.

PS Reminder to all: This is a Nokia 7+ port and topic, so don't ask for fixes of other brands, dev just works for N7+ here.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Taken with pixel 3 base, 18 frames HDR+ & stock Google lib. Green tint to the left side of the cropped image. Night sight didn't have the green but the same area just had tons of noise
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
NS
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Stock Nokia app with HDR no flash. I think Tomar is right I believe 6.2 itself has the issues. Best ports around are all 6.1 ATM. Thank you for the work tho will keep testing in different lighting
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
1st this afternoon 2nd just taken now with night sight, same settings as above post

Night sight on latest test Vs nokia stock app with HDR!
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
[MENTION=5860496]carlosthwaites[/MENTION] i tried to reproduce your green tint issue, went to a real dark spot with minimum light , no green tint to be seen.

Take note that 6.2 has more sensitivity and catches light from sources out of the viewfinder in low light.

I was wondering why my hair went green in a bar and it was a little fire exit lighted sign on the ceiling.

A little tip, you can edit your post and add more pics to it so you don't flood the topic.

Also comparing photos from GCam and Nokia app is useless, we all know its crap after sunset...

What i did was comparing pics from 2.6a and the latest one to get my results.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aleksey777z:
so what's with the results between 2.6a and 1.1?

[MENTION=8980633]back.rider555[/MENTION]. Good job brother ..

Tested and I just need you to bring back Xtrme v2s lib please . Ai hope u can do it ..
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
The noise reduction algorithms I added here are exactly the same as in test2.6a and earlier, so this is yet to be addressed as the codes are completely shuffled in 6.2. But noise is significantly reduced here vs the first 6.2 release, so that's a good step for now.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Modifying libs is an entirely different thing from modifying apks. Since all libs in 6.1 are incompatible with 6.2, we'll just have to wait until compatible (and updated) libs are developed.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] nemo07:

Hi! Thank you very much for your work..I am a mini a2 lite user anche this cam works perfectly in it...maybe because of similar hardware..

Only thing not working is her+ in front camera...and I suspect it is because of hexagon DSP not working with front camera...shutter goes on and picture is not taken ...

I know this thread is for Nokia users and I am sorry for asking here..but would it be possible to build a special test version with DSP hexagon disabled just for front camera for Yami a2 late users?

I ask this because the only other camera that has her+ working in front camera has no hexagon DSP enabled ..

But your version is perfect in everything and I'd like to use yours..

I am sorry for asking this here...hope you can be kind and help me

Thanks a lot

You need to watch your mouth kid !
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
And it will never be. Nokia has its “tricks” that makes the stock camera produce 16MP, and no other 3rd party app can tap into that “trick”. Kindly read the OP’s F.A.Q. section ;)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Last time I checked, focus ring is a bit buggy on the first run after installation. Restarted the app and the focus tracking is working fine since then. Is your Focus tracking setting turned on? If not, check the changelog for more details on that toggle.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
Thanks for answering, yes, it is on! After taking the picture the ring dissapear until the hdr+ process in the backgorund is gone! Try to take a photo and inmeditly focus on other point and the ring is not showing! It is not something terrible anyway, it is just a little thing.

This gcam port is the best thing that's happening to Nokia 7 plus.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
Hello.

the latest version has a big bug.

when I want to take a picture the camera does nothing.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
I was checking pictures that i had taken when i buyed the phone like 7 month ago and comparing them with the actual pictures and i can see a clear lack of detail and sharpness compare with the old pictures. I don't know if it is related with the noise reduction settings, the model, something in particular or with the updates on the camera module from Nokia. For example after the module updates the 2x lens give unusable pictures when before was bad but not that bad. I feel like every update from Nokia make the camera worse. Maybe i need to compare with older gcams ports to check, probably i will do it later.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] streetw1se:
I completely agree, the image quality of these recent versions of the Gcam don't even come close to the version released in December (GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test1.3). Nonetheless, great work by back.rider555, keep it up dude!

[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Try pixel 2xl for back camera & nexus 6p for front camera and if your using custom lib try stock Google lib
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
Did some test with an old 5.1 version and with Cstark CameraP because is one of the more "pure" and have different package name. In CameraP everything works but nigthsigth that crash when post processing. If it could be fixed would be amazing.

The difference is quiet noticeable. No detail and nor sharpeness. Is this model based in some Tolyan version? I quit usint his mods because when he started touching noise reduction parameters the same happened. I think the problem comes by that side, as a suggestion it will be nice to turn off the noise reduction tunning and check if that fixes the problem.

Another thing i noticed, the jpg quality is set to 97% but the picture size is half as the CameraP size. Another user noticed this also.

I am uploading a zip with 3 pairs of pictures to see i it is easy to notice for all, to know wich model is each one you can look at the size of the file.

Thanks for the support!

PD: Pixel 3 model and Pixel 3 AWB on for both.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
I dont know if its the right topic to write about this, but check the differences on the exif data, there is different ISO and exposure time for each example.

Could this make the difference of the filesize?

i also dont get which version is the CStark Camera5.

Agreed about Tolyans versions and noise reduction, its killing sharpness on our phone.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
Hello!

Iso and exposure time only change the exposure but not the size. The size normally is related to the size of the picture and the level of compression. The size es 12mp for both so i thing the compression must be bigger on this version, but don't know why.

To see wich one is CameraP see the size of the files, the bigger is CameraP. If you zoom you can notice easy the difference in detail and sharpeness.

This is CameraP but nigthsigth is not working:

Thanks for the app,it's great!

But I have a problem with kernel DFkReborn-v1.0-4.4.178

GCam sometimes haven't work,it takes a all-green photo,but stock camera is ok.

If I reboot nokia 7 plus,try it again.

Gcam is fine!

How could I fix it?

I tried to clear data,not works,must be reboo the phone.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
-I think Pixel 2 model works best for rear cam. Specially in night sight, there is a big difference. Can this be because N7+ has the same sensor as P2?

-Front cam is a debate, pixel 3 uses the P3AWB, Nexus 6P seems to be the choice of many.

-Back.rider said that P3AWB is only working on pixel 3 model in latest version, in unix 4.0 mod it works on Pixel XL, 2, 2XL, 3, 3XL

There are also some libs found in that mod (haven't checked them though)
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
On most of the ports I use p2 for back and 6p & p3 for front. How's 4.0 going for u?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Haven't used it much, rear cam in HDR is ok. Front cam nightmode also has issues. Thing is there are too many settings, i just used the basic ones.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Are you using 2.6a now?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
Im on onyx but i will probably roll back to backriders previous version for my next trip, i need solid night sight on both cams.

off topic, meanwhile, this happened today https://xdaforums.com/nokia-7-plus/help/camera-overheating-t3927599 i think i killed my cam from much testing lol

GCam_6.2.024_N7P_test1.3

Changelog vs test1.2:

- Added separate and more granular noise reduction controls*

- Added options for face warping**

- Added Pixel 2 AWB config

- Replaced Xlib 3 with Eslib 2.1

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

- Fixed crash when used by 3rd party apps

- Fixed autofocus bug when motion autofocus is disabled

All information about each added/changed feature/s are documented in the GCam settings info page under About.

* I'm gonna need your input here. The noise reduction parameters for front and rear cameras are disabled by default; but if enabled, the default values are based on my personal tests. You may or may not like my defaults, so feel free to change the values and please share your settings in this thread, along with sample photos. The descriptions for each setting are in the GCam settings info page.

** Face warping is when the app automatically fixes lens distortion when face/s is/are detected in the photo. Check the app's GCam settings info for more details.

*** Both features can't seem to work simultaneously, so this is the best way I know to have both features existing in this port.

NOTE: v6.2 seems to have problems with setting default values after fresh install. Thus after installing this version, I recommend you do the following: Clear Data -> Open app and accept all permissions -> Open app settings -> Force close app (swipe up in Recents) -> Restart app. That's my workaround for now until a fix is made in the future. Other than that, the app seems to be working just fine.

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.

Many thanks for all the help from fellow GCam modders :)

So what's face warping again ??
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
Overall upto how id say this 1 was 1 of the best ports from backrider. Having the jpeg quality at 100% with it actually producing big file sizes seems to have give the overall port more detailed shots than non working 100% jpeg previous ports. The shots seem to have more zoom before losing quality were as before I'd say the pictures would look ok till u zoom a little. Some of this may sound silly but it's something I've picked up on with all the ports I've used. Haven't tested other noise levels yet and still need to test night mode but upto now this is a good port [MENTION=1511643]backri[/MENTION]der will keep testing. I'm sure [MENTION=7851657]Tomar777[/MENTION] will go more in depth

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Also once I've got a fair amount of different scenario shots from the port I will share. Had to reset phone and I didn't back up my pictures from previous ports (as they save to internal and Google photos sync was off) so as far as comparing them to previous backrider I can't but I'll have a good idea about the difference

The new version is giving me "fish eye" photos ?

Even in viewfinder, the corners are all getting distorted .. on default settings ... Everything which is at some distance is getting elongated.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Also, playground is not saving videos

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

I think there's some issue with Playground .... I tried several cameras and none of it is working. Anyone can confirm this ??
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Yep. But the charging port is still a bit loose, connection is fixed though. Now I have to be more cautious from all the plugging-unplugging ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
How long did them take to fix it? Mine is totally ****ed up.

I am happy you are back!

Does this version fixed the quality and detail problems? You found the problem? When noise reduction is turned off it uses google default values or it means there is no noise reduction at all? Is this version based only in Arnova or is also Tolyan?

Thanks a lot, we were waiting for you!

PD:

Tried the mod against CameraP3 again and can't see any improvement. Lack of detail and sharpness, also color is less intense. To make quality par i need to put jpg quality to 100%, getting files of 8mb with same quality of 3mb in CameraP3 or Arnova.

I don't know what can be happening :(. Maybe i have to try older versions to track where the problem started. I checked pictures i took months ago with this mod and quality was at par with the others. :( :( :(

Now this is a great example showing where we are and where we should aim to get to with the settings (as close as possible i mean). Nice work Carlos.

Please send me those settings used on this pic to start with, i will start testing soon.

Im really curious how the night pics will be. I have 2.6a loaded, will make a comparison.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NahuelMS:
When you upload a picture to XDA it gets terrible compressed, it is almost imposible to compare the details like this. Anyway the second picture is a lot more flat for my taste that the first.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
pressing "view in full size" on a pc lets you get a little better idea of how the pics are.

Contrast, saturation, and white balance, are better in first pic.

Also noise reduction is a bit high on second one, details get lost in the rear.

For high res you can use flickr to upload pics.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] back.rider555:
Thanks for this, although don't you think it's a bit unfair to compare a Nokia's GCam port vs a Pixel 3 where the GCam is actually built for? ? Also is it just me, or the white balance in our device is a bit weird? I tried this port in a different device and colors are different (even better, IMO). Even the stock camera and other 3rd party apps inherit this kind of AWB.
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomar777:
To see how weird the AWB is on n7+ take a pic on a cloudy day, and use google auto fix. Then do the same with lightroom autofix (on the original photo)

In some cases pic gets so yellow you think you are on Mars lol. Specially with P3AWB i get funny color autofixes.

About Pixel 3 comparison, its a good way to see where the port has faults and try to improve settings, not a bad thing! Of course we will never get P3 Quality, but we can try to get to this direction
[Nokia 7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlosthwaites:
I'll test more with pixel 3 if I can (it's my sister in-laws lol) I did a few shots on pixel & Nokia to try to get a good idea of how many tell tale characteristics are brought from pixel to our phone with a half decent port lol. Nope [MENTION=1511643]backri[/MENTION]der555 it's not really fair we all know what wins but it's something to look towards and see if we can at least play around and pull the very best settings & quality as possible lol. I believe with your ports we can get something sweet ?
