Bump cuz it works and my first impressions is this that HDR in google's software is godlike.
I'm still liking the NX camera modified better as processing time is much faster. But I'd love to see some comparison shots.

I've been using this for a few days now, and first impressions are, I love it! Aside from a few crashes here & there, it seems to work pretty well.
Just in cast, this was updated last week(?) Speed of processing was fixed as well as crashes.
Found an even newer version than I was aware of:

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.

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.

Did anybody try this? Are the photos as good as Pixel 3 especially portraits?
Thanks OP. It works great. No crash yet. The rear and front cam portrait work good and way faster compare to gcam mods on my old S8+.
The night option shows a bank screen.
I tried as well. The regular HDR+ shots handle light sources much better than the current 6T stock hdr. Taking a picture of a dark room with a television with text (high contrast) but putting the focus point below on a dark object, 6T stock cam blows out the picture onscreen, where as pixel cam port keeps the text legible. I have the same issue as well, with Nightsight on the port just rendering a black screen in the viewfinder and locking the app. Great first start though, massive potential here, maybe oneplus dev's could decompile and take a few pointers

Is it as good as Pixel 3?
Also try this port GCam_6.1.013_stable_OP6.apk https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk518 this is nice but does not have night option, can someone also try to import the stickers? And use AR CORE application? I want to buy this phone but I will wait until camera performance will be equal to pixel (I can't root my device because of bank application and other app that does not work with root or unlocked bootloader)
Can also someone provide information about API camera level support ? is Level 3 or just Full ?

As good as that.. Just try out buddy it's just an APK
How long does it take to snap a shot in HDR+ Enhanced on the OP6t? I had the gcam port on my OP5, and that phone always took a good 3 seconds to actually take the picture once I tapped on the shutter button.

Less than a second.
This app shows that the camera hardware OnePlus is using is way better than the stock camera app software is letting it be.
The camera on the OnePlus could be great with better stock software.

Oh wow. Less than a second using HDR+ Enhanced? This port has come a long way since the OP5, then.

That's awesome, thank you! Do you still have to manually change all of the settings in the Gcam port, or is it good to go as soon as you install it with the exception of enabling manual HDR?

Well ar stickers works just fine
However I am not able to use Marvel stickers and playground 2.0
Pretty cool to use once installed. The selfie camera in regular and portrait mode is 10x better. Still use nightmode on my stock 6T camera of course and the regular camera on the back is much better through this pixel app.
Few things though: The camera will take a photo and sometimes crash when you go to look at the image and the photo doesn't save. No biggie because this is happening to Pixel 3 users lol. The other things is, I don't know if any of you have taken time to notice, but the portrait mode on the back camera doesn't work from what I can tell and a few of my friends with extensive photography knowledge said they felt the same way when examining this. We took multiple photos with the regular back camera and the portrait mode back camera and the focus was the exact same, but because it's focus on the object is so strong it might appear like it's blurring out the background. Also, not sure if this proves my point, but these cameras will save both the regular photo and the portrait mode photo to give you the options which only happens when I take a selfie in portrait mode, but not on the back camera in portrait mode. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Thanks for the hard work guys, this is still great!

I just tried the back portrait mode and it definitely saved the original and the portrait mode.
Edit: it works on people, but it doesn't seem to be working on objects. My Pixel 3 LX does portrait mode on both people and objects. For some reason the port on the OnePlus 6t is only working on people for portrait mode.

Here are three different photos, first one taken on my Pixel 3 XL, second one taken on my OnePlus 6T with the Pixel camera port, third one taken on my OnePlus 6T with the stock camera app.
To large to add all three to one post so here are the Pixel 3 XL and OnePlus 6T using the Pixel camera app. I'll add the photo taken with the stock Oneplus camera app in the next post.
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.
* -- Advanced read: https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/11/learning-to-predict-depth-on-pixel-3.html

-Add Xlib2 (another reduced contrast option) and modify to support Pixel 3 Portrait bokeh on Pixel 2
-Add Portrait and Night Sight App Shortcuts from back.rider555
Known Issues on Android 8.1:
-Tapping to focus breaks autofocus. Exiting camera or switching modes/cameras fixes this.
-Night Sight will crash the very first time you use it after installation. It appears to run just fine after that until you Clear Data of the app.
P3v9.1_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
-Disable HDR+ mode resetting for Pixel 1 when opening Camera
-Add "reduce contrast" option which loads a custom lib by Savitar to reduce black crush a little bit. I have not tested in all conditions. Feel free to test at your own discretion and provide your thoughts with comparison pics.

P3v9_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
-Revert default color accent to Google Blue by popular request
-Fix HDR+ mode resetting for Pixel 1
-Exif fix (big thanks to @Arnova8G2 for helping)
-Fix Night Sight for Android 8.1 (big thanks to BSG)

P3v8.6_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
-Change default color accent to Google Green
-Add P3 Mod Settings>Permanent Night Sight Suggestion
--Provides an always on button to enter Night Sight
-If P3 Mod Settings toggles are changed, the camera will restart automatically to apply the changes (be careful if HDR+ is Processing) (thanks @fu24 / namok)
Known Issues on Android 8.1:
-Tapping to focus breaks autofocus. Exiting camera or switching modes/cameras fixes this.
-Night Sight will crash the very first time you use it after installation. It appears to run just fine after that until you Clear Data of the app.
-Night Sight viewer is black. There is a fix for this but then it requires Flash to be set to Auto/On for it to work properly. I don't use Flash ever so this is not a good option to me at the moment. I opted for the black screen until a fix can be found. Thanks for understanding. Wait until the focus ring is gone, or choose your focus in the Focus Option on the top right, then click the photo.
P3v8.5_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
-Cleaned up P3 Mod Settings. Settings not relevant for Android 8.1 are removed, and PVC toggle is removed for non-Pixel 2/3.
-Add P3 Mod Settings>HDR+ Enhanced for Portrait toggle. This increases dynamic range, at the cost of shutter delay. Force close the app is required for the setting to change. (Credit to BSG for the method)
-Tried to adjust some stuff for Wear remote shutter support but I need a proper log if there's issues still.
P3v8_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
Must uninstall old version due to signature change.
-Support for Android 8.1 (referenced BSG's latest versions)
-Settings>P3 Mod Settings
--Toggles to switch Photo viewers (Classic or Google Photos), Enable Pixel Visual Core for ZSL HDR+, Disable Learning Based AWB in HDR Enhanced, & Disable Tracking Autofocus. The last 2 options only work on Android 9, so the toggles don't do anything for Android 8.1

P3v7_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
P3v6_GoogleCamera_6.1.013.apk
Uninstall old version. This has a different package name (to fix Lens). The new app is in your app drawer labeled CameraP3.
-Lens option in More
-Pixel 3 Portrait mode (which seems to only improve the rear lens Portraits, so no improvement on Pixel 1 probably)
-Removed HDR+ Options for now due to bugs/instability/confusion
Only tested on Pixel 2. I don't have a Pixel 1 to test with to offer fixes for.
P3v5_GoogleCamera_6.1.013.apk
-Add workaround for Pixel 1 rear Portrait (only works on human faces)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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/

Hi all,
I plan to get an OP 11 . Had an OP 9 before for a very short while so very new to OnePlus. Is there a GCAM app availaible ? & how good is it?
Also interested in this as I am in the same boat and the camera software/quality is all that's holding me back.
I thought I heard that GCam support stopped a few generations ago, however I could be misinformed as I have been out of the loop recently. Also I imagine that could have been talking about "official support" or smth (?), which luckily means nothing here as unofficial ports and apks are plentiful.
Gcam does work if you use a codeaurora variant from some of the popular modders featured on Celso Azevedo's Gcam Hub. Interestingly, I haven't been able to get any of the aux cameras working even with tinkering.
I suspect this is not intentional though. OnePlus acknowledged a recent update that broke Gcam compatibility with the oneplus 9 and eventually came out with a firmware update restoring the compatibility. They are definitely NOT anti-gcam. Im assuming the devs with Gcam mods will have aux working fairly soon.
I can confirm that gcam by By Shamim SGCAM_8.7.250.XX.44_STABLE_V4_ONEPLUS_PACKAGE.apk works. if any one finds one that is better let us know..
After rooting op11, I installed gcam By Shamim SGCAM_8.7.250.XX.44_STABLE_V4_ONEPLUS_PACKAGE.apk works well for main camera and front camera but none of the other cameras works.
I heard that OnePlus restrict the other cameras. Is there a magisk modular to fix that ??

It took a long time to get an "enabler" for the 8Pro/9R series.
I think we will also have to wait a long time for the "11" if we get to it at all.
For the 8Pro/9R it is here:
Camera Unlocker for the OnePlus 8 Series and OnePlus 9R
A Magisk module for the OnePlus 8 series (8, Pro, T) and the OnePlus 9R. It fixes/enables/improves the following: Removes the 1/30s shutter speed cap for third party camera apps, allowing GCam to use up to 1/8s in ZSL mode. Enables 48MP RAW10 capture support on GCam, both on Main (8/8T/9R) and...

What I really don't understand is that OnePlus recently brought back Aux cameras access to the 9 Pro with recent updates but then the 11 doesn't allow Aux access. It's like they haven't had the chance to fix the Color OS restrictions yet since they copy pasted the code. Kinda frustrating.

Yep I tried flashing the old one and it didn't work. Both Gcam and stock cam kept crashing.
I guess we have no choice but wait. Thanks for the reply at least I know I am not missing anything.

OnePlus got to realize there is no value in restrictions. The reason most of us choose android over iOS is the freedom to customize.
Made for LMC8.4_R18, for the Oneplus 11. Based on Matteo's M23 libs.
Instructions:
- Download and install the APK from the link above.
- Download the lib file (.so file) and the XML from this post.
- Place the lib (.so file) in Internal Storage\LMC8.4\libs
- Place the xml file in Internal Storage\LMC8.4 (load it by double-tapping the black area around the shutter button)
Modes:
Leica - Vignette effect.
LDR - Low dynamic range.
B/W: For Black & White photos with the main camera.
Main: Main Camera.
UW: Wide Camera + Macro mode
B/W2: For Black & White photos with the wide camera.
Based on Matteo's M23 libs. Tuned for the Oneplus 11.
Created to capture natural colors and much details without over sharpening the pics.
Set tone curves and gamma curves.
Set a balance between noise reduction and details.
Pics may have a bit of noise, but that is configured to capture the most amount of details.
For macro shots use wide lens with 2x zoom + set manual focus value to 40.
Notes:
- The viewfinder is customizable on LMC. You can disable all extra features in settings if you prefer a cleaner look.
