- Color effects (mono,sepia,negative,...)
- Silent mode (no shutter sound, might not work on some devices)
- Configurable volume keys
- Wide screen pictures
- Picture quality setting (low/medium/high/ultra)
- Video bitrate selection (normal/2x)
- Configurable storage source (Internal/SD card)
- Time-lapse video recording (only 3.0+)
- Video stabilization on/off (only on some devices)
- 720p face effects (only on some devices)

Yes, I've used the latest and updated version from the Play Store. It doesn't show the 3-dot button anymore and it works without and flaw. All the option function properly, especially the 2x bitrate, resultinh in HUGE videos but, from my testing it doesn't manage to improve in any way on the stock camera's low framerate. lgCamera on the other hand is capable of overriding it, but poses other problematic issues, to me at least.

Does this just affect the stock camera app? I am using focal, would I see any benefit to this?

just curious, what do you mean by less juddering at night? like, a higher framerate when in low light situations when taking pics? bc mine's just as slow as before.
or did you mean videos? it's still shooting lower than 30fps..i'm getting around 17 or so. i wish there was a way to force FPS in all lighting
question, is there a way for you to up the quality of pics taken during recording? they're only like 500kb and i remember reading like 1mp somewhere. they're really bad.
also, how about panorama mode? is there a way for you to up that quality? panorama is really low stock as well.

Which toolchain are you using?

@op - does the flashable zip file intentionally place camera.msm8974.so in the /system/hw folder (as structured in the zip file)? i ask because on on my att G2, the file camera.msm8974.so is located in the /system/lib/hw folder. (i typically create backups of files replaced by custom mods). thanks!

Test ISO image
This is a test image one could print out to compare before and after changes.
Without having a setup that we can really 'pixel peep' accurately it's hard to determine if what we are doing is improving or worth improving.
Anyway, hopefully we can set up some tests to compare the different improvements and get this camera performing decently. My feeling at this point is that LG needed to rush the G2 to market to beat the iPhone 5s/5c and Note 3 so there are some rough spots on an otherwise nice gem of a camera. Until LG devotes some time to improving the issues let's keep up the good work!

Great to see you here Andi
Still running Slim6 on my espresso3g :highfive:
Will test this one out soon.

Since the "van Gogh" effect seems to be Camera App specific I thought it's worth spending some time on Snap to get it running on Stock OOS. Updated it the whole day, still air for improvements but good to go for now

Is there any possibility to use Portrait mode?

There's no such mode. Haven't used Snap that much, only always quick testing. I know it has a bunch of settings but idk what's added exactly and what's working ATM and what's not.
Attached a picture I have just shot of a near Cherry Coke bottle.

Sidenote, anyone knows of a button remapper app that works per-app? I'd like to set the home button as a shutter button while in the camera app =]

Working fine. Sorry for last comment

Where's the link?

Quality of snap camera is worse that Oxygen cam?

Before I buy OP5 i had OP3T and With ROM Cr Droid Nougat 7.1.1 you can record slowmotion 240FPS at 720p. They had the same camera. Could you please make 240fps?

@isko01 not sure if the Camera HAL supports.
@liver20 it's better IMO, that's why I published it here.

V.4 nice!!! It working!!!

Only 120 fps.
I've made some tests and I'm liking this camera. For now I like it more than OOS camera.

HOW TO: FIX the G5 Plus Camera (mods, tools, guides)

UPDATE: Used hide tags to organize this post better and make information easier to find.
Alright, so you've got a shiny new Moto G5 plus, which supposedly has a similar Sony imx sensor as the one found on flagships like the Galaxy S7 and Pixel2. Yet, you are somehow disappointed by the camera's quality.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Turns out the camera sensor on this thing is actually pretty darned good, and the f/1.7 lens is no slouch, however it is being held back by poorly designed software from Moto/Lenovo.
Before I got into the solutions, let me specifically point out the problems I found with the camera so we're on the same page (click to reveal content, or just skip the fixes below):
1) Overzealous Sharpening and aggressive Noise Reduction are the biggest culprits. It almost looks like a bad filter is being applied to your images, turning fine details into mush and contrasty lines like text into something bizarre and artificial looking. The camera is doing this as part of the internal capture process, so this happens no matter what application it is taken in.
2) Highlights clipping earlier than it should. I'd say this might be a function of the camera's sensor more than the hardware, but analyzing RAW data from the sensor (more on that later) in my admittedly unscientific half-hazard naked eye, I'd go out on a limb and say it seems like we're not being shown all the DR the camera is able to see. To the layman: this means brights turn completely white effectively overexposing parts of the image that should otherwise still look OK.
3) The preview/viewfinder mode is even worse at #1 than the captured image is. That is, the preview mode (the video feed you see before you capture the full resolution image) is still applying the sharpening and NR at the same level as the captured image, however since the resolution is lower for the preview, it looks more exaggerated and ugly. This means two things: A) Its hard to tell what the image you take will look like, as the preview is ugly (and you have to hope the final will look better), and B) some apps use the preview feed as their capture method. For example, snapchat and augmented reality apps like Pokemon Go. It just looks terrible.
The good news is that there is a lot that can be done to improve and fix the camera.
The bad news is that almost all of it requires modifying system files. That means those with locked bootloaders (Amazon ad users or those who are afraid of voiding their warranties) might be out of luck.
You don't necessarily need root access, although some of this can be more easily performed with root. I needed to unlock my bootloader and performed most of this within TWRP, but chose to keep my phone otherwise unrooted. I'm going to split this into sections, fixing and improving.
A) FIXING THE IMAGE PROCESSING ISSUES
If you want to remove/circumvent the aggressive sharpening and NR issues (so that apps like snapchat or other camera applications don't look over-processed, including the stock Moto cam), try the following:
1) Chromatix mod. Shout out to @defcomg for finding and adjusting the values that control sharpening and NR in the system libs. See thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/themes/modcamera-aggressive-sharpening-noise-t3604458
There are two sets of files to replace in your system. Chromatix and LIBMM. NOTE: I don't recommend the LIBMM / binning part. Binning is combining pixels together into an averaged single pixel value, effectively reducing resolution to combat noise on the sensor. In other words, instead of having a large possibly noisy image, you get a smaller less noisy picture. But you can always choose to resize the image in post after you take it with the same resulting effect, so I don't see why this would be desirable to do. I recommend just applying the chromatix mod to remove the sharpening and NR. If you're comfortable using TWRP, there's actually a flashable zip in post #9, which is what I personally did (again, remember I'm not rooted, so I needed to flash/overwrite/etc within TWRP).
After applying this mod, even the stock camera app looks better, and apps that use the live preview (Snapchat, Pokemons AR view, etc) don't have the shadow ghosting from excessive sharpening anymore either. You might want to apply some sharpening and NR in post yourself if the image requires it, but thats always something you can choose but at least you have control over it and even without doing that it looks far better and more natural than stock to me.
2) Enable camera2 API. This doesn't have a direct effect on quality, but will allow other apps to have more direct access to the camera. If you want to improve beyond the results of #1 above, you'll need this.
The stock rom, surprisingly, has Camera2 API included, however it is disabled by the build.prop file. Again, no idea why Moto/Lenovo chose to do this, but the good news is you can enable it again easily. To do this, you need to add the following line to the build.prop
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Or if rooted, via terminal / shell:
su persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
Once this is enabled, you can use apps such as the modified freedcam to shoot RAW, as found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-enable-camera2-shoot-raw-root-t3582392
I found RAW from this app particularly difficult to work with, so I'm keeping it for experimentation purposes but for practical real-world usage, I'd recommend the next item below.
B) IMPROVING YOUR PHOTOS (or, how to install Google Camera!)
Section A was all about how to avoid the crummy filters that get automatically applied to the camera. But your device is capable of even BETTER photos by using Google's magic HDR+ algorithm (the special sauce that makes the Pixel phones so awesome). Here's how to do that:
1) If you haven't already enabled the Camera2 API, you need to do that first (info in section A above).
2) Get a working version of Google Camera with HDR+ for your phone. The last available 32-bit version with HDR+ is Gcam 4.2, so if you're on the stock ROM like I am, you're stuck with only the 32-bit versions (all the new versions with the bells and whistles are 64-bit only). The image quality is remarkably better, both in sharpness and dynamic range in almost any light. I have to admit, I'm in love with the images from this, and have even printed some for my wall.
You can get the APK ported from the Nexus 5x version here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74081041&postcount=3
UPDATE: New version from Savitar on post #44!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75483974&postcount=44
Problem is, our cameras use a different focus system than phones like the Nexus and Pixel. So, in photo mode, it doesn't really work correctly. Switching over to video mode, however, DOES work (likely using contrast detection focus, which is slower but more universal, especially for video focus). So the workaround is to swipe over to video mode, focus, swipe back to photos and press-and-hold to lock focus. It's annoying, but HDR+ is that good that I still try to work with it much of the time.
For times that it would be frustrating or not necessary, I'll just resort to the stock camera app or Footej camera, since the chromatix mod makes them mostly usable now. Just not ZOMG AMAZING like the Google HDR+ does.
OPTIONAL #3) Install a 64-bit custom Rom and use the latest Google Camera HDR+ app floating around (v4.4). The recent versions B-S-G released based on the Pixel camera has options to change camera modes in settings, some combination of which supposedly focus properly. You will likely get a more stable camera app experience with this as it requires less modification to work, but you'll have to be committed enough to go off stock.
Check out the app and suggested settings to try here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74999182&postcount=19
Thanks @shanks125 for the info!
Update 1/3/18: I just heard there is a port of the new portrait mode feature from the Pixel2 that is sort of working on 64-bit roms, but I think some modifications will need to be made to avoid focus drift like previous modded gcam versions.
There is also a 32-bit version of the new v4.4 that @Aby lad came up with in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/google-camera-4-4-arm-device-t3666090
In order to make it more compatible with other devices, it looks like he has disabled the Hexagon DSP, which I think is what makes HDR+ work, so while we can now change settings and focus, HDR+ isn't working. The app still has some Google goodies like Sphere and Blur mode, but without HDR+ the real benefit of Google camera is lost anyway. Might as well use stock with chromatix mod at that point.
Hope some of you find this helpful/useful!
UPDATE 12/28/17: New GCam with 6P features on post #14.

There actually may be some alternate versions of the gcam apk with benefits the one originally linked above doesn't have. I will try to update when if/when I find them.

So if I apply the chromatic mode, do I still have to enable the Camera2 API?

It's my bad. I would like to know if there is a way to disable Camera2 api. I am on Linage 14.1 and I edited my prop.build (yeah, I know). I switched back to the original line of code, but camera app still crashing. How to revert without reflashing the rom? Thanks.

There is another way to enable camera2 api if you're using a custom ROM. You need to flash a magisk module.

Which Google camera works in a complete stock g5? I keep getting a praising error with every one I try.

Parsing error means you are probably trying to use a 64-bit or one made for a different version of Android (7.1 instead of 7.0). The one linked above will work.
However, all recent versions of Google's Camera require the camera2 api to work. That's one of the primary reasons to enable the Camera2 api in my opinion. It comes in the stock rom, but it is disabled for some inexplicable reason (G5S model has it enabled, so some people are hoping that we'll get it enabled with an update or at least when Oreo rolls around). The good news is that it only takes one line of text in the build.prop file to enable it on the G5+. However, the bad news is that build.prop is part of the protected system partition, so editing it requires root-level file access. Doesn't seem to be any way to do that without unlocking the bootloader, so either way you won't be able to do it on a 100% stock g5+ as things are right now.

Thanks i managed to get 2.7 working.
I will unlock the bootloader at some point in the next few weeks....

There is also a Magisk module in post #54 on that Chromatix thread. Really helpful!

Hi, so in search for better images from my g5+ camera I stumbled upon this place and rooted my phone to add the chromatix mods and edit the build.prop file .
I downloaded the google camera port v4.2 for the hdr+ but have been unable to install it as I get the error that package may be corrupted.
So could someone please link me to one which is good or upload it.
And BIG thanks to this community.

New gcam from savitar
UPDATE: Better gcam version from Savitar/Defcomg
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00826724446841525700
Features:
Burst Mode (hold shutter button)
Focus doesn't drift when switching from video mode (this is a huge fix IMO- old app would drift after setting focus in video mode).
Selfie cam now has HDR as well (with caveats)
RAW image capture with each photo!
Instructions for use are largely the same as the old app, but it works better / more reliably now:
WHEN USING APP FOR THE FIRST TIME, GO INTO SETTINGS AND CHANGE VIDEO TO 4K. This will prevent FCs.
To take a picture:
1) Swipe left to switch to video mode, tap to focus
2) Once focus is achieved, swipe right to return to photo mode. (Focus should not drift in this version)
3) Tap the area again in photo mode, and hit the shutter button.
NOTES:
It appears that you no longer need to press-and-hold to lock focus in photo mode before shooting. I believe this is because the focus system doesn't adjust anymore in photo mode (I'm guessing Savitar/Defcomg removed it to combat that focus drifting problem). It is already locked at wherever you put it in video mode. You DO however need to still tap the screen as if you are focusing. I think this is because the camera needs to think it is focusing, but it is anyway helpful to tap somewhere for metering / exposure reading purposes. Skipping the press-and-hold to lock focus makes it a lot more manageable.
This version of the app is setup to shoot RAW+Jpeg, so you will find your camera roll will have both a jpeg and DNG file of the shot. Be aware that the RAW DNG files are multiple times larger than the jpeg, so you may want to keep an eye on storage if you shoot a lot of them. They're really useful if you want to adjust WB and exposure afterwards, quality is astoundingly good.
Selfie Mode was broken in HDR+ on earlier builds because for some reason the front camera on our phone doesn't return an ISO value to the app (says iso is zero). The HDR+ algorithm would fail. Savitar/defcomg fixed it by setting it always return a value (he picked 100, otherwise it would overexpose in daylight). The catch is that in lower lighting, the selfie HDR+ comes out darker than expected. Thankfully you can take the RAW file and adjust the exposure in post if needed (snapseed, Lightroom mobile, etc). But there might be times it is just too dark to be useful. The difference when it works is big enough that I recommend it trying it at least once to compare.
ENJOY!
Big shout out to @defcomg for this and all his awesome mods!

Landscape gcam 6p
A modified version of the APK above is available which starts the camera off focused at infinity.
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=31694573387513766779
This was made for people who want to shoot landscapes and/or things far enough away that they don't want to deal with focusing (swipe to video mode, etc). See a beautiful sunset for example, open this app, tap the sky and hit the shutter. Its already focused in the right position.
Otherwise identical to previous post's apk. Can be installed side-by-side, as each app has its own ID.

[GCam] Camera PX for Google Pixel 1 / 2 / 3 / 3a / 4

Project Status
2021-12-20: This project is no longer being worked on. Please look towards MWP mods https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-MWP/
As you may have noticed or seen in my sporadic posts here, Camera PX development has been non-existent for quite some months now. This is mainly due to a lack of substantial updates within Google Camera, but also due to lack of interest in the project as other things in our lives have become more important. As each new Google Camera version is released, the modifications have to be re-done from scratch so this would take quite some time as we only get to do this in our "free" time after work and spending time with our families. We do hope the Pixel 5 release brings some new/interesting things to the table but that is yet to be seen, and the passion to restart the project is also yet to be seen. For now, we are releasing a minor update to "support" Pixel 4a's but since Google Camera 7.2 was not built with Pixel 4a's in mind, you may notice a quality difference than your stock camera.

Introduction
This is a Google Camera mod for the Pixel phones. The main goal is to bring newer features to older Pixels, where possible.
What is Google Camera (AKA GCam)?
Google Camera is the camera app for the Google Nexus and Google Pixel phones. It is not designed or intended to be run on other phones.
What is HDR+?
Basic: HDR+ is Google's proprietary image processing routine, and is more than just traditional "HDR' modes. HDR+ employs image stacking to control exposure, and also to preserve details, reduce noise, increase sharpness, etc. It is an all-in-one package.
Advanced: https://ai.googleblog.com/2014/10/hdr-low-light-and-high-dynamic-range.html
Google Camera Features
Pixel 1
Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) HDR+ - The Pixel 1 introduced ZSL HDR+ which means when you open the camera, the system utilizes the Hexagon DSP to constantly buffer frames and marks the time slot of when you pressed the shutter button.
* -- Quote from Marc Levoy via The Verge:
"The moment you press the shutter it's not actually taking a shot — it already took the shot," says Levoy. "It took lots of shots! What happens when you press the shutter button is it just marks the time when you pressed it, uses the images it's already captured, and combines them together."
It's a major usability improvement on the HDR+ mode in last year's Nexus 6P and 5X. "What used to happen last year is you'd press the shutter button and you'd get this little circle going around while it captured the images you need for the burst; now it's already captured those," says Levoy. "And that's big, because that means that you can capture the moment you want."
* -- https://www.theverge.com/2016/10/18/13315168/google-pixel-camera-software-marc-levoy
Pixel 2
Portrait Mode - Simulates bokeh for improved subject separation from the background. The front camera of the Pixel 2 only provides Portrait Mode when a human face is detected, and the rear camera can work on an object, an animal, a human, etc because it uses information from the Dual Pixel PDAF sensor to detect depth. Google Camera ports for non-Pixel phones can NOT do this so all ports for non-Pixel phones utilize the front camera technique for both front & rear (which means all ports for non-Pixel phones can only properly apply bokeh when a human face is detected).
* -- Advanced read: https://ai.googleblog.com/2017/10/portrait-mode-on-pixel-2-and-pixel-2-xl.html
Motion Photos - Provides short clips of moments before and after you take the photo.
* -- Advanced read: https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/03/behind-motion-photos-technology-in.html
Pixel 3
Top Shot - When Motion is set to Auto or On, Pixel will recommend a better photo to you if it detects one. Like if you captured a photo when someone blinked.
* -- Demo:
Photobooth - Automatically capture a photo when Pixel detects a silly face or a smile.
Super Res Zoom - Enhances zoomed picture quality by purposely shifting the camera module using OIS (Pixel 3 only) to gather more data.
* -- Advanced read: https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/10/see-better-and-further-with-super-res.html
Motion Metering - On the Pixel 3 Motion Metering is used in the "default photo mode" to detect subject motion and if it detects enough motion, Pixel will shoot with a faster shutter speed to reduce subject blur. The Pixel 1 and 2 get to use this in Night Sight only.
* -- Further reading (about 1/3 down the article): https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/11/night-sight-seeing-in-dark-on-pixel.html
Synthetic Fill Flash - Pixel 3 will brighten faces in selfies.
Tracking Autofocus - Tap on a subject or area to keep focus when the subject or phone moves.
Learning Based White Balance - Google's attempt to fix white balance for low light photos. Used in Night Sight and HDR Enhanced on the Pixel 3.
* -- Further read (about 1/2 down the article): https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/11/night-sight-seeing-in-dark-on-pixel.html
Portrait Mode Learned Depth - Pixel 3 improves the rear camera Portrait Mode depth detection for more consistent and more pleasing bokeh.

FAQ
Q: "I already have a Pixel, why do I need to use a GCam mod?"
A: Here are the added benefits of Camera PX:
All Pixels:
Ability to choose Camera, Portrait, or Night Sight as the default mode
Custom Lib options to reduce black crush, improve details, and/or increase clarity
Ability to choose 4K Time Lapse quality
Ability to choose zoom level in Portrait Mode of 1.2x or 2.0x (for the rear camera)
Ability to choose to enable HDR+ Enhanced for Portrait Mode
Option to have quicker access to Night Sight by "permanently" adding the little message at the bottom regardless of measured light (admittedly it disappears if you capture a photo in regular mode)
Option to increase shutter speed and frames in Night Sight for potentially "better" Night Sight photos
Option to disable the "Learning AWB" in HDR+ Enhanced/Night Sight
Option for manual shutter speed & ISO
Face warping is completely disabled
In addition to the above, these are the added features for specific devices (when compared to the stock app):
Pixel 1:
Portrait Mode (only when a "human face" is detected, does not work on objects/animals like Pixel 2, 3, 3a)
Removes the HDR+ mode reset on launch or when leaving settings
Synthetic Fill Flash (brightens faces when there is a strong backlight)
Motion Photos & Top Shot (if you have the correct Google Photos APK installed)
HEVC option
Photobooth
Adds focus button in Night Sight (Auto/Near/Far)
Tracking Autofocus in Photo mode
Super Res Zoom sharpening algorithm
Pixel 2:
"Learned Depth" for Portrait Mode which provides, usually, a more accurate depth detection and more pleasing bokeh
Synthetic Fill Flash (brightens faces when there is a strong backlight)
Top Shot (if you have the correct Google Photos APK installed)
HEVC option
Photobooth
Adds focus button in Night Sight (Auto/Near/Far)
Tracking Autofocus in Photo mode
Super Res Zoom sharpening algorithm
Pixel 3:
-Adds 60ps option to top bar in Video mode
Pixel 3a:
Synthetic Fill Flash (brightens faces when there is a strong backlight)
Q: Do I need to change any settings?
A: This mod is optimized for the Pixels to run without changing any settings. There are some advanced settings in P3 Mod Settings. Experiment at your own will.

Magisk Modules
These optional modules may provide more functionality and/or improve processing speed or efficiency. Warning: I have been informed that having Viper or JamesDSP modules installed will cause problems with the long exposure libs (GCam crashes).
All Pixels:
SELinux Permissive for Camera P3
---This reduces the processing time a small amount and may be more battery efficient. The modded apps appear to be blocked from using the DSP/PVC for Processing, by default.
Pixel 1:
Pixel 1 modified system libs for long(er) exposure times during Astrophotography Mode
Pixel 2:
Pixel 2 modified system libs for long(er) exposure times during Astrophotography Mode
Pixel 3:
Pixel 3 modified system libs for long(er) exposure times during Astrophotography Mode
Pixel 3a:
Pixel 3a modified system libs for long(er) exposure times during Astrophotography Mode
Pixel 4:
Prop editor to allow Telephoto Lens to be used past 8x zoom when using a modified APK that supports longer zoom levels.

Thanks for your great work as always, greatly appreciated.

The best Gcam mods.. thanks @cstark27

Gives me 410 gone Error when trying to Download

Amazing work ? However, there seems to be a problem if the PVC is used. After rapidly taking multiple photos in normal mode or portrait mode, there is a delay to take the next shot. In Pv7 without the PVC, this wasn't the issue.
True, PVC does help process faster though.

What's the problem with pixel 3 AWB in HDR Enhanced? Just wonder should I switch it off or not

@cstark27
Thanks a lot for this new mod. Works great!
One request:
If it is not too much trouble, could you allow the "Enable camera sounds" toggle to always appear in "Settings", irrespective of region?

This is the best app Ive ever used. Thanks a bunch for the work.

This is truly the best mode thus far. Kudos for the work, man.

Same here

open it in a browser with open link a new tab option.

I am running "PieX BETA ROM"(Android Pie) on my Nexus 5x, and I tried installing the P3v8 App on it.
Every time I use "night mode", the "Quick Step" launcher crashes when I try to quit the app.
I tried this many times, each time, after using the night mode, the launcher crashes.
Then I have to (most of the time) restart the phone to get everything working again.
Is there any trick to get this to work?
Thanks.

Yes there are still limitations to the config. I hope Google is working on improving it to match or exceed the great work they have done to utilize the Hexagon DSP, and then hopefully they make it the default method in the future. But who knows.

See "Google Camera Features" under Introduction in the OP to see what it does. Then know that the Pixel 3 applies this learning based AWB to HDR+ Enhanced, as well as night mode. Some may not prefer to have this behavior on their older Pixel phones where it may not be as accurate, and/or doesn't capture the scene as your eyes see it. This setting does not disable it for Night Sight.

I still see the strip of photos ("Shots in this Photo") when swiping up in Google Photos. Do you have that still? Recommended and Best Shot has always been random for me, and I don't use Motion Photos by default so my experience is limited. I have a link in the FAQ in the first post on how to get Top Shot working. Basically you just need the listed Google Photos installed.

I am told this happens if there are too many requests at once. Try again later or when @S4turno gets a chance to upload to his mirror website https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
