I just did a test with the GCam on the Nord and shared a video with the results.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLx4ItET_c8

In most situations, G Cam managed to deliver a better image than what you can get from the stock camera app on the OnePlus Nord. The pictures from the stock app are a bit brighter, but when you take a closer look, often times the highlights are blown out and subtle details and textures aren't as clear. The G Cam's computational photography manages to capture more dynamic range, preserving a lot more of the fine detail, delivering more refined photos.

Google's camera app also has the advantage in most low light situations and that's also where its Night Sight feature truly comes to life. The Night scape mode on the Nord is pretty good, but it's nowhere near what the G Cam can deliver. On the flip side, if you're not using the dedicated low light capture more on either device, the Nord's camera performs best in extreme light light situations.

As for selfies, it's a bit of a mixed bag. The stock app seems to perform better in well-lit situations while G Cam produces crisper images in portrait mode with better definition between the subject and the background and sharper images and in low light

Tried

Arnova image quality is good but the video crashes when turned to 4k

Urnyx's no major issue, faced some crashes but not everytime
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] rbr210:
So I installed the Arnova as well but haven't had the time to explore all the options. What I was wondering though if anyone knows if there are any XML config files for the Nord that one can import?

OnePlus Camera 5.4.56 Beta

I've installed the beta OnePlus Camera from developer preview for Android 11 and it seems that it produces better quality photos than the stock OP Camera that comes with Nord.

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] romerjon:
Great news!

The developers of the Photoncamera found a way to access ultrawide and macro lenses even on cloned apps (which generally you need root for), without root. Apparently, this method should apply to all different brands. So, we might likely soon be able to access our auxiliary cameras on the OP Nord without root. :)
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
Yes, it works on the Nord. No public versions yet though.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gnonsekan:
I confirm!
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] rambus47:
But you can't choose the 16: 9 format

Why doesn't oneplus implement that?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ja_som:
Yeah, I also don't understand why you can only choose 4:3 and fullscreen.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] pranavom:
Portrait mode

I'm confused with certain settings!

1. There is something called Forces 48 in setting I'm not sure what it is

2. Does the port use the primary 48mp sensor

3. Portrait mode doesn't work on objects!

Rest all is working, tested on my nord! Thanks a Ton!
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] kkloon:
Strange just 4:3 and full screen.

Launching via screen off gesture took a good few seconds but the photo quality are much better.

Btw, how do I go back to default version if I wanted to? Uninstall camera app and restore to factory version?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ja_som:
Yes, if you open settings, apps, find camera, 3 dots on top right, there is a option to uninstall updates.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] AmoghUpadhyay:
Can confirm
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Amal Shyjo:
Huge difference

The level of clarity and details way greater than the stock camera app! and I am looking forward for the Nord specific mod

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
A quick update about GCam on the Nord:

- A dev (eszdman) found a way to access auxiliary cameras on phones with the same limitation as the Nord without root. This means that GCam will be able to use all cameras without root.

- Arnova8G2 already has a testing version that can access 1) back main, 2) back wide, 3) back macro, 4) front main, and 5) front wide. Switching between cameras is buggy at the moment, specially moving between front/back. Urnyx05 is also rewriting the camera switch to better support phones with more than two back cameras and more than one front camera.

- This is great because not only versions from them will work on the Nord, but many other modders use their versions as base.

For now, you can use a version from "greatness". The camera switching between back/front isn't good and it doesn't support the front wide camera, but all other cameras work. If you want to try it:

1. Download and install this apk: Gcam7.3.018_Greatness.Build2.1.apk

2. Download and load this config file (how to): greatness2.1_nord_timo_based.xml (99% based on a version from Timo, thanks!)

Note: this config is crisp and a bit noisy. It's good for details, but might not please everyone.

---

In a few words:

- Still early days for GCam on the Nord.

- Improvements coming from the main modders "soon".

- Aux cameras will work without root.

- Apparently, OnePlus won't fix the aux limitation on their side. Thank the dev community for this, not OnePlus.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] jadajada:
Interesting. Will try the above version.

I have tried the two version in OP. My device is rooted, so I have also installed the magisk module from here:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/aux-cameras-enabler-module/

I does work, and I can now access the ultra wide camera on the back, but it’s completely blurred and impossible to focus on anything. Has anyone else tried a GCAM version + magisk module and made it work? Do I need to add a config perhaps?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
That's probably the macro camera.

ID 0 = back main

ID 2 = back wide

ID 3 = back macro

ID 1 = front main

ID 5 = front wide
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] jadajada:
Thanks. I uninstalled and tried the camera you linked to instead, with no magisk module installed. It seems to work fine. I did not install any config yet, but it seems to work fine without it. What do I gain by adding the config you linked to?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] DailyLama72:
That's because there is no Pixel phone with more than 12MP.

So on Nord pixel binning happens, which means, it combines 4 pixels into one.

Pixel 4a 5G / Pixel 5 could be game changers: as well for Google phones (cheaper) but also for GCAM mods finally with more than 12MP :)

Usually, configs are used to load better settings/values. They're not a requirement.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] austinpinto:

This version with the provided config seems to be working well for many:

Update from Wichaya: GCam 7.3 v2.7.3

- GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya v2.7.3 (2020-09-01, configs)

This is probably the best version for the Nord right now. Load one config from this page to avoid issues.

- Cameras working (Aux Cameras): Back Main, Wide, Macro; Front Main, Wide.

- No crashes when switching between cameras.

- Front wide is noisy, probably due to it being a cheap sensor.

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] ak097:
Save the config file in the Internal Storage/GCam/Configs7. If these folders are not present, then create them.

Then open Gcam and double tap on black area near the shutter button. It will then show the config file to load.

It was a config problem. The config creator owns a OP7 and they have different camera ID's.

The wide cam in GCam is really bad... The default cam app takes a lot better shots with the wide (for now at least)

If you play with the Lib Patcher values, maybe it can be improved. It's not easy when the sensor is bad, but it can be done.

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] zaqm:
Go to Gcams' Settings/Learn more/Enable mod and then you'll find an option Mods Configs Creator which lets you enable additional cameras.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
The problem with Arnova8G2's version (and versions based on his/use his code) is that while the extra cameras work, it doesn't handle the switch between back and front well.

For example, if you switch to front wide via the aux buttons but are still in "back mode" and then close GCam, it will keep crashing when you open the app again.

Wichaya's version fixed this problem. Arnova's base is better in some ways than Urnyx's base (used by Wichaya), but the way switching between back and front cameras works is way better on Wichaya's version.

Arnova is aware and it should be improved in the future. Until then and since there are less savvy users here, I'll keep "recommending" versions with better Aux support in the main post.

I believe that's how it works on newer GCam versions.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] MrMagicPotato:
Non-ROOT compatibility

Sorry guys need to make a stupid question: are these versions of Gcam completely compatible with a stock non-rooted Nord?

No root needed or features lost if you use the versions linked in the main post.

Im on GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V2.7.3 and config Timo-Wichaya2.7.3-V1.1.xml.

How do I switch between the front cameras? Every time I try, it changes to the back cameras. Only the main front camera works.

The switch of the back cameras work, although the labeling is reversed: the "0.6x" is not the wide angle camera but the macro camera and "2x" is the wide angle camera. Can I change this?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] pigula97:
You need to switch to front camera, click on 0.6x and then again on front camera and you will have wider angle camera :) it's still early version so i guess it will be fixed.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
1. Choose the camera you want to use (eg: wide)

2. It will "restart" to that camera in back mode

3. Flip to front

The restart is needed to load the lib patcher settings for that camera.

Since there's no front macro, when in macro mode, switching to front uses the wide camera.

To rename the aux camera's names, on Wichaya's version to go: Settings > Advanced > Manual Set Button Aux Name
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Holger-:
Thank you very much, but I still only get the standard front camera.

I am on german system and have the menu "Erweitert", which I guess is the menu "advanced". There is no option "Manual Set Button Aux Name" or something similar in german.

Is there anything I have done wrong or what I can do? I even deleted and reinstalled GCam, including deleting app-cache and app-memory.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
Check the first post of this thread to see the latest stable update.

Since this was posted, a new update was released.

################

You can use this GCam 7.3 from Wichaya, which supports all cameras (no depth): GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V2.7.3.apk

You can load (how to) one of these configs:

- Focused on detail and quality: wichaya-7.3-nord-detail-timo-bsd-1.4.xml

- If the one above is too noisy/detailed for you: wichaya-7.3-nord-default-quality.xml

I recommend installing the "Gallery GO" app (similar to Google Photos, but without the service/upload stuff) and use it as default gallery app as it handles the processing delay very well. Make sure you enable the setting to use 3rd party galleries inside the setting menu if you do this.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] joshndroid:
GCam is the only real app that works for me after the garbage stock camera app just refuses to open.

I was wondering if the back main is the 48mp sensor or the 12MP sensor?
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Holger-:
Thank you very much! Now it works as it should. :)
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
Have you tried cleaning the app data?

The main rear camera is a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor. As often happens with these high MP sensors, they use Pixel Binning to improve quality in low light. Each 4 pixels are grouped into 1, so 48MP becomes 12MP, which is what the Nord (and the OP8, OP7 series, Asus Zenfone 6, etc) use by default.

Sadly OnePlus limits the RAW stream to the pixel binning value. The main rear can only use 12MP, the main front can only use 8MP (32MP->8MP), etc.

0.6x is actually wide angel lens labeling and 2x is for telephoto lens , so gcam is showing nothing wrong , you can check the labelling even in OnePlus stock camera app
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] shivam bitw:
Hey if anyone can share 2-3 images taken from the latest google cam vs stock cam, that would be really helpful. I have been saving up to buy the oneplus nord, now that I have the money I have seen reviews mentioning the cameras are weak, especially the front cam. I have looked it up on youtube but all those reviews have used older versions of Gcam. I am a student and I want to make sure I put the money I saved in the right place, so any help would really be appreciated cheers!
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] -Holger-:
An older version of gcam did the labeling on my phone wrong. I know how it should be, but it was simply wrong / reversed on my phone. The "2x" does not really make sense since the nord actually has no telephoto lens. Just digital zoom.

In the newer versions of gcam (and the right config) now everything is done right: "0.6" for wide angel, "1x" for standard/main and "Macro" for just that. :)

[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bloodimirgr:
Ι have tested 2 for arnova and 2 for witchaya.

I find arnovas to be less pixelated, kinda blurs spots where in witchayas you can see that there are pixels.

Of course that is when you zoom in!

My question is if anyone knows if the wide cam will remain that bad in gcam, or is it too early to be fixed.

Strange enough the default cam app takes a lot better wide photos.
[OnePlus Nord Themes, Apps, and Mods] S4turno:
Anyone can create configs, btw. Just play with the values inside the "lib patcher" menu to change contrast, noise reduction, etc.

When you find a good balance, I guess you could save the config and share it so other users could use it too.

- This is a big update and breaks compatibility with some of the old configs (eg: Night Sight might crash).

- I created a new configs page for this update and uploaded 2 configs that take care of renaming the aux(iliary) camera buttons (macro, main, wide), select the correct stream values, etc.

Nope, it works without root. I'm on this OOS build btw.

I guess you can try using GCam without a config. Clean install the app (clean app data). You should see the 3 buttons for wide, main, and macro (see if it works).

If it doesn't work... Settings > (under "General") Advanced:

- Auxiliary camera. Enable:

-- Show buttons

-- Telephoto

-- Wide

- Manual Set Camera ID. Enable:

-- Enable Manual Set ID Camera

-- Use these values: Screenshot-20200920-204342.jpg

(Assuming this works, for HDR Enhanced to work on the front camera; Settings > (under "General") Advanced > Enable "Override base frame index" )

[MENTION=3596050]balb0wa73[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4273325]Bloodimirgr[/MENTION] Regarding the config files, maybe I messed up. If the buttons are in the wrong place, then the lib patcher values for wide might be used by the macro camera and vice-versa. I'll try to test this as soon I have free time.

[MENTION=11127475]joserdcosta[/MENTION] Unless you enable the "ultra-high-resolution video (4k)" option inside the settings menu, 1080p is used by default. Then you just have to select 60FPS while in video mode (drop down menu).
