Some example photos

I have tested this mod on my new 7+ and have to say the results are very good. I tested just the Night Sight and a few photospheres as the stock moto cam is probably best for everyday use in everything else - fast and easy to handle, great picture quality. However in some situations there is not such a big improvement at night with the mod - it really depends on the ambient lights and their uniformness in the scene.

Lets see:

Round one https://photos.app.goo.gl/qnfYeXaD4fgGagNTA, https://photos.app.goo.gl/wxNK9MAqQ1ShPSXL8 (taken with phone on solid support )

Round two https://photos.app.goo.gl/2pxSHSteaE64sHoNA, https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ygc4ZsDDcNNCZEeXA (taken with phone on solid support )

Round three https://photos.app.goo.gl/ATs2x7UnAyrsJot99 (just handheld; no stock image in this case)

Round four https://photos.app.goo.gl/x9yCfcdoKbWo78Sc8, https://photos.app.goo.gl/9pzQGJa4DXgLs3hp8 (handheld)

Round five https://photos.app.goo.gl/Kif1YWhRt6bCACG99, https://photos.app.goo.gl/HL4LKe9c9yQddZk3A (taken with phone on solid support)

(first is always stock automatic, second is gcam with settings from the xml file)

I have also noticed that the camera name in google photos viewer is different for both camera apps which is very good because it allows to distinguish

And yes, the photospheres struggle with straight lines (which is to be expected, as the distortions in handheld shooting angles are substantial). Otherwise they are of better or worse quality, depends on how one looks at them - a few examples:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/PEDWhbpbWpio33G98, https://photos.app.goo.gl/ACmzBHdkgkTHXAD48, https://photos.app.goo.gl/EFhJq4zvSuCqcHji8

Regarding the photospheres I wouldn't mind if they were of higher quality even if the shooting and processing takes more time (maybe some setting?) and the file will be larger. The processing happens in the backgroud anyway.

I really appreciathe the work that was done here! :good::good:
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffreyvh:
Processing takes long because our processor will do the job, and we got a SD 6xx SoC so it will take a bit longer then a 8xx SoC. But like you told, it will work in the background ;)

I tweaked the settings to get the maximum quality without having to wait like 10 seconds when taking the pictures. I can make it process faster, but this will be a lose of the quality, it is personal preference :D

If you want me to make a config like that I'd be more then happy to do so ^^
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lupask:
So, if you managed to extract maximum that is possible (at whatever computational cost) than I'm happy with it :) Personally I don't mind waiting those 10 seconds, it's not everyday that one shoots photospheres and even so you don't usually need 20 of them in one minute.

Maybe if the mod creator added some setting so the user can decide by himself if they prefer speed or quality and they dont need to load up a configf file each time
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffreyvh:
First of all, I am not the creator of this port. I clearly stated this in the OP, I just made these configs and shared the download links. If you load the config once your set up and don't have to load it anymore, unless you play with the settings and want to revert it like before.

Short :

Install apk, set config and you're all set. Next time you'll open the camera config is already loaded.

Works very good! Thank you!

in step 5 no option appears asking to restore.

Can you force it?

na etapa 5 não aparece opção pedindo para restaurar.

tem como forçar?
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] shaDNfro:
If you do not have any configuration stored at the right place It will just say: no configuration available.

What I did was saving tha actual config (in the settings). Then replaced that one with the one provided. Then Step 4+5 worked fine

(I used the recommended version)
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] artwisbr:
Is it just me or this gcam doesn't have the option to take multiple shots while pressing the shoot button, like the standard camera software can?

Loved the software, the nightshots, but taking multiple shots is something I like to do....
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] washoq:
It works for me. I use GCam from below link:

Portrait / Night Sight kind of not entirely working?

Hello,

Thanks for posting this - I didn't know much about GCam before but recently got a new G7 Plus and tried it out mostly based on this post actually - quite an inspiration. GCam is quite amazing and can produce beautifully detailed photos. The colour quality and rendering has that nice "Google" look to it, and far superior to the built-in camera which is over sharpened IMHO.

I've successfully installed using your instructions and loaded your config.xml (new ones) and am generally very pleased but have had two small spots of trouble - others here don't report, so I guess I am doing something wrong?

1) Portrait mode seems to be exactly the same as regular camera. The stock app gives me a slider to control background blur effect amount but I don't get this slider in GCam - the photo taken just looks exactly the same as with regular camera. Other people have posted portrait shots on here, so it definitely *does* work but I can't figure out what I'm missing. Does it need to face detect to enable? Or should it work with objects too? (I have only been trying objects, but the stock app again works fine with that).

2) Night Sight is really cool but after I take a photo with it, the viewfinder display goes very choppy (overloaded CPU?) for several seconds. If I take another picture once it goes back to normal then, it gets worse for the 2nd picture and/or refuses entirely. Kind of locking up the app. Killing Night Sight back to regular Camera and then back again seems to make it better but the handling is really poor vs the fantastic smooth/flawless experience the regular Camera mode gives.

Wondering if this is "just me" or if other people have the same issues?
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tomahawk1306:
For some reason I only managed to take like three pictures and then app just refused to take any more. Night mode is working perfectly though.

GCam on Moto G7+ stopped working

Hi Jeffrey,

I downloaded your version of Gcam and config about 5-6 weeks ago. It worked great for about 4 weeks, but then stopped dead. The app opens, but nothing happens when I press the shutter button. Has there been an update since this original one? Thanks!
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] washoq:
Hi, I use this one and everything works great:

Hello,

I was able to install the app from the link here. I also downloaded the config, but I can't find the gcam folder on my phone. Where to copy the config.

What do I do wrong?
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] CAB42:
See first post:

2. Copy the config.xml to /Internal Storage/GCam/Configs (if this folders don't exist, you should create them yourself)

Hi guys, I see Google Camera ported to a few phones, may I ask, what is so good about it? Is it a lot better than the Moto stock camera app?
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] IgorMG4:
Did someone find a working gcam 6.2 for the moto g7 plus? I only found the 6.1 versions.
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] emerel:
Try this https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/Gcam_6.2.024_Advanced_V2.0.190420.0415.apk

or https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.2.apk

Both works nice on G7+
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mrkarisma:
Hi, very nice test and images! Could you please provide some raw files for download as well, preferably taken outdoors in both good light and bad light.. I cannot find dng files from the Moto G7 Plus anywhere online and need to test them out before I buy this phone.. Thanks!
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mrkarisma:
Hm.. in 100% the gcam shots look better than my full frame Nikon dslr at the same high iso.. I cannot believe this.. Is this for real?! ?
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] TigerCourage:

[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vishnuisgod:
Hello Gents,

Im looking to make a lateral move from a G7Power to a G7Plus. Ive had very good success with the GCam mod.

I do a lot of time lapse filming and I'm looking to upgrade with something that will shoot in 4k.

My Questions are:

Does the G7Plus shoot timelapses in 4k (at 120x)with the native camera app?

And/or

Does the G7Plus shoot 4k 120x timelapses with the GCam app? (The G7power crashes at 4k with all the GCam apks I've tried).

Cheers

Immediate crash of GCam after Start of app

Der Community,

I've installed the newer GCam App on my Moto G7 plus running on lineageos 16 (thanks to Jleeblanche) with latest TWRP and Magisk and without Google Play.

I also put the xml-file to the recommended directory. The file reads: g7p_new_cfg_jeffreyvh.xml

Everytime I Start the App, it shows a black screen with a small camera icon in the center and then immediately, within one second, it crashes and is gone.

Do I have to change any further settings before first start oft the App?

I've tried three times (previous version uninstalled), always with the same result. :crying:

Regards,

EthyRider

Processing HDR+

I'm getting the notification of HDR+, but it just stay there. Doesn't load anymore. Anyone else? I'm on Android 10.
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] vetlemakt:
When I follow your instructions, I am told " You don't have any configs!" upon double tapping. My language is Norwegian, could that be it? (Instead of "Internal storage" my files are in "Internminne")
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] abrucki:
Yes, i can confirm that issue on Android 10. Android 9 hasn't that issue
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] matiasrepo:
I tried this.

1- take the photo, wait a litte bit.

2- go to google photos, open the app and let it stay there a little bit (the normal time that would take to process HDR+ on android 9)

3- new photos will appear.

I suggest to turn off gcam notifications so you wont get HDR notification stuck there.

Does the timelapse record in 4k at 120X?

Most dont, and for me thats a deal breaker.

tia
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitaljeff:
120X @ 4k timelapse seem to work for me using the latest from Parrot043 HERE and the config from HERE, make sure 4k video is turned on in gCam settings. Now i havent done extensive testing, long shots etc, but checking file info shows 3840x2160 and there are no issues in saving, nor app crashes.

EDIT - must be on android 10 for the above gcam to work
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vishnuisgod:
digitaljeff, greetings from Victoria!!!

oh... Android 10,,, I guess thatll have to wait.... till next month when I have some time

which Rom are you using? My phone isnt picking any ota updates... Im thinking keep it simple and use lineage (Im most interested battery life)
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitaljeff:
Heyo fellow BC friend! I'm rocking stock ROM, un-rooted RETLA. I get ~36hrs on batt with 6-7 hrs screen on time.
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vishnuisgod:
RETLA??

How are you getting a Gcam 7.3 running on stock?!?!?!?!?!?
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitaljeff:
Didn't have to do anything special (I am on 10 however ), tried a few different gcam mods till I settled on parrots versions that seems to work great with no issues . Did you try the version and config I linked to above ? Edit: guess your still on android 9, in that case you can try his most recent gcam 7.2 or 6. should work .. might need to try a couple versions to find one that works for you. The linked config will work for any version.
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vishnuisgod:
Ive tried googling RETLA... Ive surmised it has something to do with the updates... but other than that Im not 100% sure. I see software channel RETLA in the phone, but other than that... not sure what else to do. Google isnt much help.

Ive tried the parrot version above, but ya, Im still on 9 (what am I supposed to do with the config files?). Im dying for 10... I just checked the updates on the phone and its still on a Feb update.

cheers

and TIA
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitaljeff:
Yes I was referring to the software channel of my device

For the config file follow the info located here on where to place it on the root of your sd card https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/ as the location is different if your using gcam V6 or gcam v7

After the config file is in the correct location open up gcam and double tap the black space anywhere near the shutter button and it will open up a menu where you can select the config
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vishnuisgod:
thanks for your help on this...

however Im still stuck

I installed the app (Ver 7.2) and (Ver 7.3) but im still on 9. (Im phucked right?)

I created the folder GCam/Configs7

I put the files motog7plus.xml and river7.3.xml in the Configs 7 folder (which config file are you using?)

I started the app.

Double tap exactly where the gif in link you posted and nothing....

Ive tried both ver 7.2 and 7.3 and neither open for config choice...what am I not getting
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitaljeff:
Oh that's my bad, I took a look at the link I gave you again and its incorrect for where to place the configs for gcam 7 . I just checked where mine are and they go in a folder called ConfigsCamera7 on the root of your sdcard , not gcam/configs7. Give that a shot. Also I use the motog7plus.xml config .

Hopefully that clears things up for ya bud. I read anything above v7.2 won't work on 9, however if v7.3 works for you great. I ran a v6 gcam on 9 till I got 10 and then went straight to v7.3 so have never actually tested it myself on 9.

When HDR is turned off, taking photos stops working completely, that is, in the gallery just grey rectangles show up and then they are deleted. (Android 10)

your using a pretty old gCam version (6.1) try using a newer version .. I'm using the latest from Parrot043 (7.3.020) HERE and the config from HERE . i've run into zero issues so far with any mode i've tried. if your having trouble loading the config read a few posts above, i've explained where to place it on the sdcard as its a different location thatn gCam v6
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] mstepanek0301:
Everything works fine, thank you!
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] DuffyBank:
Thank you for your work on this. I've loaded the same parrot043 and config file in the directory you outlined on the latest Android 10 update. My issue is with slow motion video not working.

Any suggestions? Thanks from the Kooteney/Boundary
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitaljeff:
Hmm 'i've actually never used slow-mo so never knew it was an issue till you mentioned it, but I also am having the same problem as you. Fail's after about 4 seconds with error "something went wrong, part of this video may not be saved". I played around with the config a bit with no success, so may need to look at another gCam version from another developer (on the same site where you grabbed parrot's ver). I guess in the meantime the stock cam will have to do for slowmo. When i have a chance I'll snag a few different gcam copies and see if I can find one that works all around for eveything.

If your not running stock rom and don't have the stock cam, Deivid_21 posted an apk HERE.
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] DuffyBank:
Thanks, yes, I'm on stock 10. Mine will record, but only plays back audio, video remains as the 1st frame still. I've copied the video to pc and the video and audio will play at regular speed, but looks odd.
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitaljeff:
here ya go! UltraCVM mod by UltraM8 is freshly baked and has working slow-mo. I haven't fully tested all features , just slow-mo and HDR, but haven't run into any dragons yet.

Utilize the existing motog7.xml config, however you will need to put it in a different location this time. \GCam\Configs7 on the root of intenral storage and load as per usual. This can also be installed alongside your existing gcam

[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] user288432:
I found out (the hard way) that upgrading to Android 10 broke my previous GCam old version (Uryx 6.1.021) which produced nice images. Now sadly it gets stuck with "Processing HDR+" and won't save photos. I've concluded it's dead.

I tried Parrot (7.3.020 V5) but I cannot seem to load configs anymore from sdcard ConfigsCamera7 - double-tapping the blank space does nothing? Dunno, clearly I am doing something wrong.

Without the config file, the camera seems to work and is responsive but photos have a green cast and serious white balance issues (e.g. correct with Snapseed to see). This makes it unusable for me. I also suspect that OIS isn't working either. I hope if I can get the config file to load, those problems will go away...
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitaljeff:
This is so weird, I updated to v5 and couldn't load config like you mentioned. Downgraded back to v3, also couldn't load. Uninstalled and blew away the configs folder and started everything from scratch and still cannot load configs. This is very strange as just last week I was writing some config files and loading them just fine that way having them in the ConfigsCamera7 folder. I even went back to v2 to see if maybe I was mistaken and had that version initially, same problem. Unable to load configs .

For now I've been using ultraCVM and that seems fine, give that a go , I posted a link a few posts back.

But yeah...I have no idea why configs are no longer loading when I know for a fact I was loading them just fine a week ago. Makes no sense to me but I'll keep playing around and see if I can figure it out .

Edit: still no luck w/ parott's but am definitely liking ultraCVM and the extra stuff it includes . No issues so far and the images are looking great , especially night site
[Moto G7 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] user288432:
Thanks for the hint. I will try when I have a chance and let you know.

I found with Parrot also (a) switching to video crashes GCam but on the plus side (b) disabling auto WB "fixes" the green tint/nasty color problems I was having. I say "fixes" here because I do not get the really nice proper GCam WB but instead quite a flat/neutral picture but it at least has no tint. So that makes it at least not 100% useless. Still images do not have that nice "Google" look so much but it is still light years ahead of the Moto Cam.

Me neither, it is a mystery. I found on Urynx's thread here on XDA (sorry don't have the link) but I think he said that he disabled this as the stock version was good and didn't need customization so much on 7.3. I don't know, seems others are the same. I cannot install his 7.3 package ("Package installation failed" - no idea why, others are fine). The "official" site just says that customization is "maybe" supported by "some versions". :p
