[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sir Killalot:
Ah, thank you for your reply. Was using other search keywords (full sensor resolution), didn't know about this beta version.

However, looks to me that it's not about getting 48MP without the pixel binning, but using 12MP bursts to get there using the Super Res technique that was introduced with the Pixel 3 (didn't know this wasn't already ported?).

It's kind off able to replace 2x optical zoom and does that using the main sensor instead of a(n inferior) telephoto one. No idea if it can be as good as, or maybe even "better" than, a 12MP crop on at full sensor 48MP image that needs enough light to work.

Still great news, as at least there seems to be an alternative to the full sensor block.

Oneplus Nord gcam
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
Two updates that should work well on the Nord:

GCam 8.2 from Greatness:

GCam8.2.204_Greatness.210627.2142Release (greatness, 2021-06-28, configs)

GCam 8.1 from Wichaya:

GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.2 (Wichaya, 2021-07-01, configs)

I made a pool on the Telegram channel to see which one they liked the most and so far Greatness' version seems to be ahead.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] rael75:
cheers bud
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Thanks! I preferred Wichaya with the previous version and it seems it's better for me here too. 4K recording works at 60 fps! I thought that wasn't possible on the Nord? Official specs give it 4K@30, but Wichayas APK allows 4K@60 and according to VLC it is correct. Could anyone verify i'm not dreaming here, and it actually is 60 fps?

Greatness crashes on my Nord, as soon as i set 4K resolution.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
When I tested the Nord last year, GCam was able to record at higher frame rates.

No idea why OnePlus added that limitation or even why the front camera officially supports 4K@60FPS but the rear doesn't.

Not sure about that crash. I would test without a config and then with the config, just to be sure it's not some setting.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
No luck, when selecting 4K, Greatness cam crashes at default settings (no xml applied), as well as with every single config available. Wichaya doesn't crash so that's very nice. I'll get to work on finding good settings for my use cases now, since there isn't a Nord-specific config available yet. I get better pictures with v7.3 (no idea why), but since v8 supports 4K there's no going back. I'll keep messing with it.

Big thanks to all GCam developers!

edit: I'm running LineageOS with GCam Services Provider apk, maybe that has something to do with the crash, maybe not.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Is there a proper place for bug reports to a specific maintainer/developer? I don't know if they get read from here, but anyway:

Wichaya v8.1.101 @mickey36736

- The time and date on filenames is three hours behind, but EXIF shows it correctly. The older v7 results in time and date always the same in both filename and EXIF, probably read from the phone settings?

- Compared to Wichaya v7.3, i cannot seem to get the noise level down enough in pictures, there is always more noise in v8 and slightly less detail. I'll admit i'm a dumbass with the settings, but i'm trying all i can.

- Simply opening the slow motion option from video, and not even recording yet, results in many 0 byte "_PXL_.mp4" files in the DCIM folder.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
Wichaya has some threads here. Eg: https://xdaforums.com/t/google-camera-mod-for-zenfone-7-7-pro.4165013/

Maybe mention his username or (probably wrong) post on one of his threads for other phones.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] trampas67:
Installed that latest Greatness apk and config on my Nord (latest stock firmware) and it works very well including Playground. Video works at FHD/30, FHD/60 and 4K/30 but breaks up very badly on 4K/60. No crashes though.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
From my tests with the previous v.8 versions I prefer greatness as well (with the Fury-Greatness-V8.2-Noise-Fix profile). I'll test these new versions with the new profile and see.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
Tested the new versions. Greatness wins again, although the 2 cams are very close. I must point out though that the jpegs saved by greatness have double the size of those saved by wichaya so that should be part of the reason.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] smajlo:

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] acetone802000:
Thank's.

Wich Wichaya config file works for the Nord ?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
No one has created one yet. Right now, most people seem to be using Greatness' apk, so that's where the focus is.

I guess you can try to use it without a config? Should work ok. Then make your own changes.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
(Updated: 2021-07-21)

Fuzai updated his Fury config for Greatness' GCam 8 (posted above). This should fix the rear camera not working on the latest update:

- Fury-Greatness-210716-V1.3-Exp.xml

Base config for Greatness' GCam 8 (stock colours/detail):

- Greatness8.1-210716-NordBase.xml

And someone else also shared a config for Wichaya's (above too). No idea if it's good or not, but Wichaya users may want to try it:

- Wichaya1.3-Rodro.xml
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
The fury config is exactly the same file that I downloaded yesterday from #295. Not sure if the wrong file was uploaded or something. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, just giving you a head's up.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
If it's the same file name, then I guess it's the same file.

There are differences between this config and the previous one though:

I'm using the Greatness.210716.1733Release with this config Fury-Greatness-210716-V1.3.xml, The front wide angle cam is not working for me, I just want to know whether it is an issue or is it just for me only?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
OnePlus removed the access to the front wide camera with OxygenOS:

https://xdaforums.com/t/gcam-for-the-oneplus-nord.4137529/post-84714325

Solutions? Stay on Android 10 or use a custom ROM, which bypasses OxygenOS auxiliary camera restrictions.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] BATVIC:
Thanks for the info 😊.

Is there any way we could know which rom does bypasses restrictions?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
I never used any custom ROM on this phone, so I'm not sure, but it should work on all custom ROMs.

The only exception would some something based on OxygenOS itself. You should be fine if you use something like LineageOS.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vman006:
The front wide angle cam is not working. Im using Pixel Experience extended Rom.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
Have you tried setting the camera ID's manually?

On greatness: Settings > Advanced > Auxiliary Cameras and IDs > Enable Manual Camera ID.

Camera IDs:

- ID 0 = back main

- ID 2 = back wide

- ID 3 = back macro

- ID 1 = front main

- ID 5 = front wide

Or use this app to get the camera IDs on that specific ROM (sometimes they're different from the stock ROM):

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] RakinTheGreat:
Sorry for answering late, I am not quite active on XDA but seems like with Android 11, Oneplus has done something with video streams on Nord. If you switch to 60fps from 30fps in 4k, it works but if you directly keep 4k60 enabled and switch from photo mode to directly it, it throws you out of the apk
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
I see that there are a couple of newer releases (greatness) with the same version number. Are those suitable for the Nord? I assume they're just bug fixes,
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] coffeeoverweed:

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
Which GCam and Android version? Have you loaded a config file?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
There's a new update from Greatness:

- GCam8.2.204_Greatness.220428 (2022-05-02, configs)

Those using OxygenOS 11 can pick between the apk with the snapcam package or the cameight package. Useful if you want to have more than one version installed and still have access to the extra cameras.

Configs from the previous version should work fine on this update.

I forgot to post it here, but Wichaya also released an update for his version back in December.

Main post updated too.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
Thanks for the update but which version should we download? I have the greatness version from your previous post which seems to be (com.google.android.GoogleCamera.Cameight). Should I get the same? What's the difference?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
You can use the same (.cameight) or the version with the snapcam package.

The only difference between them is the package name (that long string). OxygenOS only allows apps with certain package names to access the extra cameras, so modders release the same update with different package names. Some work on OnePlus, others on Samsung, etc.

In the Nord's/OxygenOS 11 case, you can use cameight (com.google.android.GoogleCamera.Cameight) or the snap/snapcam one (org.codeaurora.snapcam). Custom ROMs don't have this restriction so any package name should work fine.

Having these 2 packages also allows you have have 2 GCams installed with access to all cameras. Useful to test new versions without uninstalling the current one or when one modder is better for one thing and the other is better for something else.

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
As far as I know there is no custom ROM that supports 48MP output from the sensor. For some reason OP doesn't allow it. Beyond that, I'm on OOS12 and there is no option in GCam (latest greatness) for full resolution.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yohan121:
Attaching a Config I made for OnePlus Nord use it with LMC 8.4 R18 F1

• Calibrated all cameras to achieve faithful representation of natural colors and skin tones.

• Implemented HDR+ Enhanced to ensure meticulous color fidelity.

• Enabled the default activation of location saving for seamless integration with Google Photos Timeline, you can turn it off at your discretion.

• Note that a forthcoming update will address the fix for the front wide-angle camera.

I installed AGC 9.1 V3.0 from BigKaka, It mostly works, only a couple of options in the settings menu crash. Daytime quality is good. Colors are a bit saturated but nothing extreme. Nighttime quality is worse than Greatness 8,2 which is my main camera.

V9 is focused on reducing the time to take low light photos. It does that but quality suffers. At least in this case, Maybe playing around with the settings can fix this but I can't tell for sure. Currently the only available configs are for samsung and vivo. I tried the second one.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Axel85:
Awesome ... What about the update for the front cam?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yusef Kifah:
By far the best Gcam for our device is this. Use the dedicated OnePlus Nord Config included in the config section.

BSG: MGC_9.1.098_A11_V13

Download MGC_9.1.098_A11_V13 by BSG.

www.celsoazevedo.com

Running it on LOS21, all lenses work (even depth and macro). 4k video works too. 60fps also works for both front and back cams, including wide lenses. Very natural processing overall on photos.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
I've tried it and it's definitely NOT the best GCam for our phone. It's the best 9.1 I've tried so far but v9 Gcam takes far too few frames (in order to reduce the time it takes for a photo) and the result is pretty bad in low light. In good lighting conditions results are comparable, even better sometimes, compared to 8.2 but in low light and nightshot the difference is huge in favor of 8.2.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yusef Kifah:
Well, I guess you're right. But it's a great all rounder for all features in one package. I also use Nikita's 7.4 for photos.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
Yes if you exclude the low light performance 9.1 is pretty good. I honestly can't understand why they ruined one of GCams's greatest strengths though. I tried to find a way to increase the number of frames taken but didn't find an obvious option. Maybe there's something hidden somewhere but on the other hand if there was then the person who made the profile would have probably enabled it.

I've just installed this cam on my avicii, I'm running LOS 21 and it seems to be working just fine. I was hoping for AI enhancemente option, but I can't find it anywhere in the configuration. I suppose that's a newer version of Gcam that can't be ported to avicii, because of the soc not being compatible
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
What do you mean "this version"? The thread links to a lot of versions. If you want the latest version you can try https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl216/

Not sure what features you're looking for. Personally I prefer 8.2 for the best performance in night photography.

The latest is not always the best, you need to try different versions to find the one that works best for you.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nixeus2:
Hello guys, at this time what is the best gcam ? Please and what package to use ? Snap ? I tried eng package on the lastest bsg but the app crash when I go on additional parameters. What is the best gcam for the nord please ( ac2001).
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] mythos_:
As I already said there is no "best". It depends on your personal preference. Output depends on both the app itself and the config that you use.

Regarding stability, all v8 are stable. From the v9 branch I've tested MGC and it's stable (package snap). I prefer to use v8 though.

App crashes when 0,6x is selected
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] sathya86online:
Any samples / comparisons / verdict on wide angle cameras (front and back) and macro camera? All major reviews (MKBHD, Dave Lee etc..) have called out the worthlessness of basically all the Nord aux cameras.

It's probably too early to comment, but I feel if there is no value addition by GCam to these cameras, I feel the Pixel 4a makes more sense, speaking in terms of camera performance alone?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] jon_lee9900:
I would say, the Primary cam is decent, as we all know with the Sony IMX. The GCam app does improve the colours with much more vibrancy IMA but future updates may change that.

The wide angle colours are similar to the primary stock, it lacks resolution when zooming in but takes clear photos. But who takes a wide angle to zoom in, seems counter-productive?

The Macro is a waste of space. Resolution is poor and colours are horrific. The primary sensor takes better close up/cropped shots.

I would probably agree the Pizel 4a takes better standard photos, but I would prefer the Nord as an overall phone. I don't think the 4a will last more than a year without getting bogged down and glitchy with the SD730 and 6gb. Also the tiny battery barely lasts a day now, what will it be like in years time?

If you want a decent camera for the money then buy the Sony ZV1 or A5100 camera.

In my Opinion:

Screen - Nord

Speed - Nord

Design - Nord

Battery - Nord

Rear Primary Camera - Pixel

Rear Wide Angle - Nord

Macro - 8TPro

Front Primary - Probably Pixel

Front Wide - Nord

I think with the right configuration of GCam to utilise the Wide angle and front, the Nord could compete with the pixel. That is beyond me though.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] eXelero:
I'd say that the ultrawide back and wide front are ok, besides the main cameras. but the other two (macro and depth) are really pointless.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] oOEDGUYOo:
I have tried a few different versions of the GCam from various developers, including those recommended here, and the result has been very poor.

Many are closed when there is low light or night mode is activated. And in those that work the night mode, the result is much worse than that of the stock camera. And unfortunately, it is not only worse in night mode. Daytime photos also come out better with the stock camera.

I come from a Xiaomi Mi 8, where the GCam did wonders, and the current one, the GCam in the OnePlus Nord, is very far from what it achieves in the Mi 8.

I sincerely hope that it will be resolved over time. But considering that it is the same camera as that of the OnePlus 8, that is, that it already has a good development time behind, I have little hope.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] asce1992:

Camera crash issue.

I'm using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk and the app crashes when enabled the 2nd and 3rd camera on OnePlus Nord.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Thank you

First, thank you for this thread.

Coming from a line of pixel phones, I some times get a bit disappointed about the results from the camera, especially the HDR processing and the inconsistency in the results .

I use a GCam port now, which i personally think makes quite a positive difference.

But, does anyone know why Oneplus doesn't fix the image quality in their camera app? I'm not a developer, but isn't it possible for oneplus developers to read something from the google camera app code, and make a similar result in quality since the gcam app can do it with the existing hardware?

From my perspective the quality of the phone is 100% ok, it's only the image quality that lags behind.

Thank you in advance
