My question is in the title. I mean since the hardware is not that bad. Is it possible that a decent port of a camera application that will do a better job in the processing of the images clicked be available and possible?
Yes, it did for the op5 so surely it would do the same for 5t
Yes and no, it depends on if OnePlus fixed the issues with their camera HAL.
On the OP5, the HDR+ is causing a dot pattern in light areas which basically ruins the photos.
Also it has issues with touch focus.
This thread might help
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-camera-ported-app-op5t-t3708132/post74586647
who can verify if this has been fixed?
edit: can the user in the "ask away" thread find out somehow if something has been changed or fixed?
edit 2 (face palm): it should all be answered in the above link as soon as someone follows thru with the required testing.

I'm assuming since we have a change in hardware someone can come up a decent port that will take advantage of the second 20mp cam to improve upon low light more than what OP have already done.

as the title says, recently when I open my camera app, the rear camera is unable to focus no matter what I do, the same happens with snapchat and other camera apps. I was wondering if this is an issue within the rom or if its a general OP3 issue and if anyone could help me attempt to fix it.
I'm on SultanXda's rom with the 19th of Feb patch. (would post this on the rom's page but my account is too new to reply on that)
Thanks in advance
Even I have this kind of issue and I am using resurrection reimx ROM. The camera is not focusing. Neither in the camera app nor in the apps like snapchat.
Hope someone has a solution for this.

Just tried with rom-delieverd-snapcamera, and the focus is just working fine.
Just touch the screen, where to focus and snap.
Maybe you can give us some hint to reproduce?

sadly touch focus isnt working on my phone, starting to think it might be a hardware issue instead since it just suddenly started happening. I'm not too sure what is different from when it was working either :/ just that one day touch focus stopped working and auto focus stopped as well.
So you can wait for an update, or any other reported issues with focus on sultans rom oder you might try another rom, if it still exists, to make sure, its not a HW issue.
Ehy guyz, it is an hardware problem. U can fix it opening the phone and using some scotch to maintain in place the camera. Or send it in RMA. Or use a magnet near the camera, out of the phone's case as is possible to see in attached photo
Better use this one port
Probably you all may try and find out how to get best shots
Remember to set HDR+ mote to enhanced

Ok, I've seen that stuff before. So this is still the same line of that port where we have to dig through menus in hopes of finding the magic combo to make HDR stuff work? I had zero luck with that in a previous version. And did you use the same download link?

I used the download at the bottom of the link I sent you. Seems to be the same port you mention but to be honest, I havent even played with it yet.
Yeah, I'm definitely going to need to find the original link to this from a reputable source. Just tried clicking into the link in the OP from work and the safeguard software that usually comes up yellow/gold for sites that are not allowed came up red. That's a first for me and enough for me to not download from that site.

I can tell you a side by side won't happen. That's the first time I've ever seen that severe of a warning pop-up for a site before so I won't be going there. I did load from the this link though and it looks like this still requires some set-up to get HDR working on it. It's dark out now so I won't know until later.
I tried the google camera. However, I find GP camera app sometimes adds more noise but does not over expose as much as LG camera. However, in some cases the LG is better...Guess it just depends on the situation. Here are some sames I took in auto mode using the same focus point (touched area to make sure they both focused on same object). of course the ones with the post it GP on them is the Google Camera app. These are in low light to very low light.

ya....i have the same opinions. V30 camera app at times produces better photos, where others Pixel 2 Camera does.
Pixel 2 ZERO SHUTTER LAG is no joke though, and i'm not sure if HDR+ is occuring as since if so the HDR+ is done within a split second with no status.
Is this better or the same as Google camera NX 7.1?

I'd been looking for a working recent version for awhile. The other ones I could find were either an older version, or the updated version with all the options, but didn't work. Thank you for this! Going to test in a bit. I know it won't be Pixel 2 quality, but if I could match S8/N8 quality, I'd be super happy.
ok...so last night i was doing a bit of testing with Arnova's 5.1.014_v8.1 (Android 7+): same as BSG's v.4.0, but based on the new GCamera 5.1.x, with settings set as listed below. I do have to say...image quality as well as color reproduction is better than with the V30's camera. the difference is slight, but noticeable when you zoom into hard to focus lock area's. color reproduction is also a touch better. one thing to note though was I did run into a few freeze or hick ups with GCMod 5.1. When I'd press the shutter button, it would grey the screen, or do nothing. Would have to press the shutter button 2-5 times sometimes but it eventually would take the photo. Not always but sometimes this would occur.

Settings:
Model: Pixel 2XL (or Nexus 6P if you want more detailed images)
Config camera HDR+: Nexus6 HDR+ Auto Zsl (or Nexus6 HDR+ Auto)
HDR+ parameters: Medium (or higher)
To enable the HDR+ UI button: Settings > Advanced > HDR+ control (img)
The rest (video resolution, camera sounds, etc) is up to you.
Warning: You need to restart the app so the new settings are applied.

Droid Life today says the V30 Oreo beta is available to a select group of users in Korea. Naturally they cite "speed improvements" and I'm sure the camera software is lumped into that.
http://social.lge.co.kr/newsroom/lg_v30_os_1102/
I'd have to guess that at some point "too soon" in the V30's Nougat development, the team was forced to say "that's good enough -- ship it" and move on to 8.0 (or 8.1 -- fingers crossed) development. No sense in wasting resources perfecting an already out-of-date OS..
It's unfortunate the timing works out the way it does -- surely this results in some of the critiques the phone has received, and those blemishes can't be easily undone, even if they release a *flawless* Oreo in the next couple of months with a fully optimized camera experience.
As usual, simply having this app installed on my device causes a battery drain. Oh well. It works rather well though.

Hi guys, I just got my oneplus 5T today and i want to talk to you about the quality of the photos of this phone and how this camera setup is helping or not ?
For me, it's a waste of the second camera slot to use this "night camera module" ...
First of all i don't see the diference (using the pro mode and switch between the twos) and second, there is no other functions of the phone that use this second camera to improve anything (at least it shoud he use to combine two photos and result in a better pixel quality but since they have the same lens i don't think this helps either)
So what do you think guys ?

In my opinion, I think they should implement the same feature as the essential phone. Using both cameras to create on single and good looking picture. If they can, they could make the main lens take all the details of the image and make the 2nd lens take all of the light and then somehow merge both images to create a perfect one.
Probably never going to happen though......

They can't do it now because "the black and white sensor has had its top layer’s color filter removed. Without it, the sensor is unable to capture color, but its ability to capture light increases by 3x. This is especially helpful with low-light environments."(qualcomm clear sight)

This thread is aimed to be as simple as possible.
I found 2 apks that worked for me. I created this thread because I'm sick of scrolling through the comments on which one works, and which one doesn't. So, here it is.
*NOTES* All Pixel Gcam mods will have autofocus issues. These don't have any quality degradation from my testings.
1. @fu24 Pixel 2 Gcam v.5.2.025-Final - Everything works. But I recommend to use this only for the front camera.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-17f.apk
2. @cstark27 Pixel 3 Gcam P3v10.1 - This is the best in terms of focus hunting, when taking pics, don't tap to focus. Let the app hunt for focus until it's clear. If it won't focus on the object, just switch between portrait and normal mode. Sometimes the pic comes out a bit soft. I'd recommend you to take multiple pics and select the clearest one. Thanks to @Sonudbm for mentioning this apk. The front camera still doesn't work.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/P3v10.1_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
I will update this thread whenever there's a better version(s).
Feel free to leave any comments.

Raw capture gives you vastly more detail than jpeg (or JPG), but with the cost of lower picture quality, it can be fixed by editing the photos. I'd recommend the 1st one, if you don't want all the flashy features. If you night sight mode as well, install the 2nd one along side.

Same here :/
Neither of these updates fix the focus issue with it endlessly refocussing. Does anyone know what the actual issue is with the Mi A1 and Pie? Is a Dev looking into this specifically. This is the only way it'll get fixed. Seems like no one knows it's an issue?
Sorry to say this, but both cameras have focus issues..
Does any one know Whether there is a 9.0 pie custom rom where no focus issue on GCam.
(i won't bother about green tint issue though)
I am still on 8.1 until we get something that works perfectly, do I need to unlock my bootloader and install the Camera 2 API again or that is not necessary?
Sorry to break it to all of you, but I really personally think that this autofocus issue is device dependent. I would recommend you to try random Gcam apks from that site (that's what I did). I think every device would have different apks that works for them.

Hello people!!
There is no GCAM Port of pixel 3 (the one with night mode) that fully works on PIE on MI A1. I have tested every recent version of every developer on the page of Celso Azevedo. In almost every version, all things work, except for portrait mode with front camera (green tint present when HDR enable) This is not what we want, because there is a huge difference between portrait with or without HDR.
The only one version that I find that it is working on portrait with HDR is one for pixel 2 (it hasn´t got night mode) from ARNOVA. The version is: gcam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-v8.3b1.apk. This is my actual camera now.
I hope some developer could accomplish the same but with pixel 3 gcam mod.
Greetings !!!!

Wait, you are on latest Pie?
Hello all,
I have a quick silly question that I just can't seem to crack. While the Pie update was nice and all, I can't stand the camera. The biggest issue, for me anyway, is that I can't seem to get a great manual focus on the new version. To clarify, the old method of manual focus that I never had issue with simply zoomed in on the center portion of the screen and then let you adjust the focus. The new method has all these green lines and nonsense... and while I understand how it's suppose to function, it never comes out anywhere close to as good as what I was getting with the old method. So I jumped ship and returned to Oreo... only to find that camera app, which otherwise reverted as well, still has this new method of focusing
I used the November firmware(BRJ6) for my T-Mobile S9(SM-G960U)
Any thoughts are very much appreciated!
The green focus points for manual focus were on Oreo too
