@Arnova8G2 I'm using 1.4beta2 and everything works using the Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr+ config and Pixel 2XL model including Portrait Mode. I tried version 1.4 linked above and portrait mode selfies do not work. It doesn't take the picture and gcam crashes. I've attached a log and hope it helps.
Also portrait mode selfies are much better using the Nexus 6P or 5x model but then HDR does not work. Using the Pixel 2XL model, the selfies are a little blurry.
It would be great if we could use a separate model for the front cam vs. the rear. Best of both worlds then...

Can anyone tell me which is the most stable orea rom for portrait mode right now ....Also did aex support aex?? Thanks
Best rom for Portrait mode
I have tested many roms for Pixel 2 portrait mode, best of them for portrait mode are
1. Pixel experience Rom (Google lens working on Google assistant and google photos after inserting pixel 2 XL in built.prop)
2. Aex Rom (AR Stickers Working perfectly)
I have flashed GCAM with AR Stickers version 7 magisk based. (You will find the link )
My settings for camera are:
Model : Pixel II Walley(Google)
Config camera HDR+ : Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr+
HDR+ parameters : Super High
Lens blur megapixel : 12
Final jpg quality HDR+ : 100%
Portrait mode on all models : on
Increase the detail of HDR+ in front camera : on
*After these restart camera again then you will find portrait mode
in Advanced turn on HDR+ Control for HDR+ ( Amazing photos with HDR+ and amazing night photos)
turn on face blocks in developer settings of camera for full blur control.
(My device : Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus, and now I am in love with it)
I m new here, for any mistake, apologies. Thanks

[GCam] [Wide Angle] LG G5,LG G6,LG V20,LG V30 - v4.2

Disclaimer
I am not a developer but I have tried my best to create a port that has most of the basics working on my LG V30. I cannot promise I can fix any bugs for other devices but if I have time, I can try to look into some. This version is based off Scrubber's [4PDA] and uses information I've learned from using and looking at Arnova8G2's, BSG's and others versions. All their work is much appreciated and is the only thing that makes this possible.

Introduction
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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMa1H97zUQ8
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.
* -- Advanced read: https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/11/learning-to-predict-depth-on-pixel-3.html
This is how the V30's Camera ID's are laid out. My normal lens app uses ID 0 and 1. My wide lens app uses ID 1 and 2.
Camera 0 "LENS_FACING_BACK"
Camera 1 "LENS_FACING_FRONT"
Camera 2 "LENS_FACING_BACK" (wide angle)
I cannot guarantee success on other devices, especially if the phone does not even report all cameras through the Camera2 API (use Camera2Test app to verify your device info). If you are on LineageOS, please consult your dev to see if they can alter the camera ID's to properly match LG stock roms, if my version does not work.

cstark27 v4.2
cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3.apk
If you have issues, Clearing App Data is recommended. Open "Camera"> Settings>About>View App Settings Page>Storage>Clear Data
-If device has more than 3+ camera sensors, displays a new side menu "Wide Angle"
--Click this item and it opens Settings and displays a message "Switching rear Camera ID. Press back to complete." So just press the back button when you see the settings menu pop up. I can't figure out a way to do this programmatically.
--On first install you may have to click this twice for it to start working
--After this is toggled the side menu will say "Default Camera" to indicate you can switch back
-The Camera Switch icon is green now to try to indicate you can Long Press this to do the same function as above (alternate between rear camera ID's)
v4.2 fixes:
-Resolution for main and aux lens separated thanks @fu24
v4.1 adds:
-Add LG G6 Lineage Toggle
-Add Advanced>Default HDR+ Mode for Normal and Wide Lens options
--Switching rear cameras will change the HDR+ to the specified mode
--Usage: If you want the regular lens to usually be HDR+ ZSL, but the Wide Angle to always be HDR+ Enhanced. You can also select No Change (default) so HDR+ mode is not changed by the system and will keep what you choose when switching rear cameras

cstark27 v3.8
If you have issues, Clearing App Data is recommended. Open "Camera"> Settings>About>View App Settings Page>Storage>Clear Data
LG G6 Lineage users can use the toggle in the wide angle APK to fix their camera ID issue. You must force close the app.
-Renamed standard lens package name to avoid interference with other versions (uninstall your current version)
-Set Use_Photos on by default
-Ported Camera relaunch after going into Settings from namok/SerJo87/Arnova8G2 (no longer have to force close when changing a setting)
-Changed Frame Count to have a faster setting (may be useful for photos of children)
-Added toggle to remove Portrait Mode default zoom level
cstark27 v3.7
-Added Advanced>Disable ZSL Toggle (this switches between Pixel 2 HDR toggle and Nexus 6 No ZSL HDR toggle)
-Added Advanced>Model so users can experiment with phone Models (only for the rear camera). You do not need to adjust this if you don't want to, the default setting is the same as before (AUTO).
-Added Experimental>Use Hexagon DSP and set it to No by default. This used to be "auto", effectively, and on most Snapdragon phones it would be using the Hexagon DSP in previous versions. In my testing I have found better performance when taking multiple photos quickly, by turning this to "no". Let me know your results...
cstark27 v3.6
If you have issues, Clearing App Data is recommended. Open "Camera"> Settings>About>View App Settings Page>Storage>Clear Data
LG G6 Lineage users can use the toggle in the wide angle APK to fix their camera ID issue. You must force close the app.
-Added 5 Exposure Time settings for Adaptive Shutter Speed. "Super Slow" is the same as V3.5. "Very Slow" is about 2x faster and so on and so forth. On my phone "Slow" is not actually Slow and matches normal HDR+ Enhanced speed. But it may change depending on device so I left it.
-Normal APK: Save HDR+ choice after going into Settings (credit Miniuser123)
-Organized Settings>Advanced by grouping all HDR+ Enhanced stuff into a section. Changed a couple strings so they'd be translated to other languages.
-Skip Color Fix if Adaptive Shutter is enabled
-Removed Slow Motion menu item unless you have a LG G5, G6, V20, or V30. BUT, you can enable it in Settings>Experimental.
-Wide APK: Change HDR+ Config to Taimen so ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag) is back, but I've defaulted HDR+ to Enhanced. This won't change until you clear app data or go into settings though.
-Wide APK: Remove Slow Motion menu item
cstark27 v3.5
-Clearing App Data is recommended. Open "Camera"> Settings>About>View App Settings Page>Storage>Clear Data
-Added Advanced>HDR+ Enhanced Portrait Mode : This forces Portrait Mode to use HDR+ Enhanced which will offer better dynamic range but you lose Zero Shutter Lag (Thanks Arnova8G2 for this cool trick)
-Added Advanced>HDR+ Enhanced Adaptive Shutter Speed : This is the Slow Shutter mod from miniuser123. I would say this is "beta" for LG devices. I know on my V30 some tuning is needed to the parameters but I want your guys feedback first. It only affects HDR+ Enhanced. The shutter speed will slow down the darker your scene is. You probably want a tripod or something to prop your phone against, for best sharpness. In normal lighting the shutter speed seems to be the same as before so I don't think it would be a negative to leave this on - but it's your choice and needs testing.
-Added LG G6 Lineage Camera ID Fix toggle to Wide Angle APK so there shouldn't need to be separate Lineage builds for G6 anymore
-Optimizations courtesy of Arnova8G2
cstark27 v3.4
-Added Lens Blur Mode on side menu
-Added Advanced>LG G6 Color Fix from cstark27 v3
-Removed Zero Shutter Lag option from Wide Angle due to issue with very over-exposed highlights. Will be brought back when this issue is fixed.
-Removed Disable ZSL toggle as it did not fix anything and caused more problems
cstark27 v3.3
-IMPORTANT: CLEAR APP DATA after installing. This version changes the configs a little bit so more problems may happen if you do not erase app data.
-Fixed Wide Angle HDR+ Processing with Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL)
-Improved Re-focus after touch to focus
-Added JPEG Quality toggle
-Added Disable ZSL Config: switch between Pixel ZSL or Nexus 6 No ZSL configs
-Adjust look of settings and add About section from Arnova8G2
LG G6 owners: There may still be a purple tint in shadows in low light when using HDR+ Enhanced. I am still working on a solution but it is hard to find without having the device. There are apps that provide a black level offset to correct this but in tests we have seen that only the first HDR+ Enhanced photo is usually purple tinted but remaining photos are fine. Tapping to set focus and exposure also seems to help. I would also try the "Disable ZSL" setting and see if that helps. Huge shoutout at Mefiboshet for all of his testing and letting me pester him with test versions all the time.
2 Separate APK's (download both, they do not require each other though so you can use a different normal lens version if you want):
Download Standard Lens + Front Cam cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.3
Download Wide Lens + Front Cam cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_wide_v3.3
There is no model or config to set, you should be good to go after installing. But here is the setup:
-Normal Lens APK Config:
--LG G6
---Rear Model: Nexus 6 (shamu), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
--All other devices
---Rear Model: Pixel 2 XL (taimen), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
-Wide Lens APK Config:
--LG G6
---Rear Model: Nexus 6P (angler), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
--LG G5, V20, V30
---Rear Model: Pixel 2 XL (taimen), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)

FAQ
Q: I'm on Oreo and my device constantly reboots?
A: Follow the steps in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77133433&postcount=1069
Q: Do I need to change any settings?
A: This mod is optimized for the LG G5, G6, V20, & V30 to run without changing any settings. Some settings in the Settings>Advanced menu will provide higher quality, with their own downsides. Experiment at your own will.
Q: What devices does this work for?
A: The normal (not wide angle) version should work fine on devices that have a decent Camera2 API support. Snapdragon Galaxy S8, Note 8, Nokia 6, Nokia 8, Essential PH-1, HTC U11, etc.

Oh nice! Already using one of your previous versions. They work very well. Will try the new ones out.
MOD EDIT: OP quote removed
Working great!
Woo you da man
Subscribed ?
It's working great. May I ask if this version has some kind of implementation that reduce the blurriness?
Also I'm using it right now, and I do see that its less blurry? Maybe it's a placebo effect?
Anyway it works great on LG V30
Also thank you very much for your hard work!

I haven't put anything in yet, intentionally, to improve subject blur. But the normal lens is using a different HDR+ config this time which fixed a refocusing issue so it's possible it has other benefits as well I would guess - but I can't say for sure.

Hi Sir, can you add manual/custom blacklevel for front camera?

I think that's it because before when I try to tap to focus I seem to get more blurry picture than if I don't tap to focus.
Does it make your pictures also less blurry as well?
Just a quick T H A N K :good: Y O U !
Thanks very much for your time and effort. I am using both cameras and have had no problems on the V30.. ?

I have not seen the same. I have seen it before on different ports though. Did you clear the app data?

@cstark27
I found 2 buges.
1. It always cycle till HDR complete the process, so it takes time to capture another picture.
2. It shows "Saved Metadata" when we immediately go to picture after shooting.
Thank, pls help to fix this!

Hi,
Thanks for your mod it works best on my Nokia 6.
I have only one question: There is no video stabilisation toggle in the settings. Is it enabled or if not could you add this feature?

I'm seeing a toggle for video stabilization in both the regular and wide angle version. It's in the same section as the video resolution.

Can you port cam for moto g5s plus?

Portrait mode is not working with front camera

Hii All,
I am unable to use portrait mode with front camera on my Redmi Note 5 Pro. When I click to portrait mode it automatically switches to back camera & there is no option to switch it back to front camera.
Kindly help me.
portrait mode option is next to hdr in front camera
the potrait mode option for the front camera is on the top
Thanks guys. It shows "Depth Effect"; that is why I was confused. I got that now.

portrait mode gcam not working

when I capture a portrait photo in gcam with back camera... background is not blured
any solution??
Gcam portrait mode blurs the bg only if it detects a face. Use lens blur for non human things instead, or miui cam's portrait mode.

(All these Crash occurs only when configs are applied and I tested with all the three configs and it crashed in all of them but without configs it doesn't crash in any condition ). Otherwise I loved it especially the ultrawide camera.
I can't apply the config file , it always says config not found. Please help

For Moto G60,
Do all these XML are for different work, or the newer Version covers the previous updates too ? For example, does V9 also has features of V8 and previous ones, or does it just have only V9 features ?
And can I use the App only for overall camera uses or should I use XMLs ? And if yes, then which Version of XML is best for overall camera uses ? like a all-rounder XML.
Thanks to respective Devs,
GiGa Chad

What update you need. Gcam or that dslr xml?
I'm a total noob in terms of GCam functionalities. So, reading this, I was just wondering what are those xmls all about, and how to use them.
I got the answer here.
So, in case anyone else has the same question, there's your answer. It would probably be a good idea to include it (or include some sort of instructions on how to use the xmls) within the main post.
Otherwise, thank you very much for the updates!
