Hi all,
I've located probably the best Google Camera for our devices so far. The main thing being working portrait mode on the rear camera only. This was found on the S9 forums.
What is working?
- Regular photos (obviously) - quality appears to be pretty decent and would probably be better for anyone running a Lineage/Treble ROM
- Slow motion
- Panorama
- Photo Sphere
- Portrait mode - Rear camera only
- Front camera - takes photos but no portrait mode
What isn't working?
- HDR/HDR+
- Portrait mode on front camera
If I've missed any features out I apologise as I haven't had time to test extensively.
In regards to key settings I'm using, they are as follows:
B-S-G Mod Setting:
Model = Nexus 5 (only one that works)
HDR+ parameters = Not applicable without working HDR
Portrait mode on all models = on
SmartBurst enabled = off (will not work due to required pixel or Nexus6P config)
Camera resolution = not tested anything beyond default settings
Video resolution = Can record 4k video but not in the 30fps setting (video is 4K res but very stuttery)
Developer settings I have switched on:
camera.use_photos (I use Google Photos as default)
camera.diet_burst (can't remember what this does but I had it active on my Samsung phone)
camera.faceboxes
camcorder.fastswitch
camera:gcam_enabled
cameraprogress_overlay
camera.enable_vesper
camera.raisr
Most of the above is default. I will play around with more settings when I get the time.
In the meantime here is the file for download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zLMlPYUe8o3MV0DbtH176KsjjDeCe5OP
If anyone is able to develop this further to optimise it for our devices that would incredible. I will report back with anything new that I find.
Thanx mate ,but where is portrait mode in this camera ? Should I paste these in build.prob . or is lens blur is a portrait mode ?

Are your settings exactly matching what I have posted above and what OS are you running? I should note this will most likely only work on Oreo devices.

Yeah I think that's just an issue with the Google Camera itself tbh. It was the same on my Samsung device.

Must be to do with camera module then rather than chipset specifically.
One thing I have found when using various Google Camera mods. If you're rooted you can add the following line to the end of your build.prop: persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
This activates the camera api2. Restart your device and install a Google Camera port. There's a huge list of them here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Backup your build.props before you make any edits! I will not be responsible for anything that goes wrong.

Not every mod will work. Correct me if I'm wrong but Google Camera is oriented to snapdragon processors right?

Hi! I'd like to get Google Camera app with HDR+ on my Xiaomi Mi A1, but the official XDA port doesn't work. I've heard of some people using the app in SD625 devices, and the Mi A1 has the 625 SoC, so in theory it may be possible to port the app... I can't code, so does anyone know something about a download link that works on Mi A1 or can mod the XDA apk to work on the Mi A1?

If you are rooted you have to add below line in build.prop -
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
after that reboot. you will have working gcam with HDR+. although the slomo option won't work. and you will have EIS too in gcam.

i think Google camera hdr+ need a snapdragon 820++ isn't it?
@thewarrior2 It doesn't, it needs a 64bit OS and a snapdragon SoC packing a certain Hexagon DSP
Can anybody post comparison pictures of hdr+ and stock xiaomi camera app? I am really interested in seeing the results before buying this phone.

If you cant find the difference by looking at the samples posted, then you dont need HDR+.
But the fact is the difference is night and day!
Google is primarily known for software, which is what HDR+ is all about.. It uses the camera h/w, takes many pics when you click the shutter button, each in different contrast, and applies some kick-ass machine learning algorithms on every pixel of each groups of pics it took, fuses all of them, to get awsome looking pics.. Thats all it does, and thats all that no other stock camera app does from any other manufacturer. Thats why it beats even iphone.
So basically, google does more through software , what all others achieve through multiple h/w.. Reason why pixel 2 still has single Camera.

This is kinda work in progress port of Gcam with hdr+ for arm devices. it's based on google camera version 4.2.035.141213305-arm.
it needs camera api 2 enabled. you can enable it via flashing the zip I've attached or add below line into build.prop.
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Stock rom is preferred, but it should work on all roms as long as above requirement is met.
Google camera apk
Please let me know if auto/touch focus works or not. happy testing :good:

Requires TWRP for flashing zip. or root for manually editing build.prop
So the moto g5s doesn't have the api enabled by default? The file can't be downloaded BTW.

As it turns out.
Camera stopped working right on start
Nice! Works here.
But, I got some problems at my first test - Google Camera apk from OP link;
- Back camera resolution: in the app, the res are 12.1 (16:9) mpx, in face of the real 16mpx (4:3)
- Slow mode crashes every time
- Panorama seems don't run as well
Anyway, I feel the focus are, now, amazing! I had a Moto G5 - Cedric in the begginin of 2017. Now, I got the Montana, but, always the same problem: Strange focus. In macro, i mean.

HRD+ works really for the images, but there seems to be a tint when capturing images without HDR
Good thanks, but there's one issue:
as soon as camera api 2 is enabled Whatsapp, OpenCamera, Moto Kamera report "media format is not supported" at recording video, guess there's a codec missing then.

put the package name of apps that are not working well with camera2api, like this:

the listed apps will use the old api
I can't record video with neither gcamera nor stock camera. I already delete the cache and data, but still doesn't work. What can I do?

hi, sorry for my stupid question.

thank for the answer
I've heard that this version from Arnova8G2 works:
- MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun_2.apk
You need to load this config: Realme_3_Config.xml (guide: how to load config files).
I don't have this phone, so I don't know if it comes with the camera2 api enabled. If it's disabled, you have to enable it first. I'm sure you can find a guide by searching online.
You can also find more apks from Arnova8G2 on this page and follow his thread here on XDA.

I was testing 1.3c version on my new phone, but it was fail taking photo.
Only panorama and video were operating.
But, today I installed the configs file and now camera is fully operating.
After first HDR tests and quick analysis stock camera render better (Chroma boost disabled, not needed!).
(I use a standardized position from my seat to a sunny open door in the middle of the room. )
I already tested panorama in outside situation and it is GREAT, much better than stock.
Not tested night and video.
Overall comment: This phone is a top gun. No need to spend million.
Just waiting for usable root.
but whenever i click on the video button it closes the app

(I use a standardized position from my seat to a sunny open door in the middle of the room. )
I already tested panorama in outside situation and it is GREAT, much better than stock.
Not tested night and video.
Overall comment: This phone is a top gun. No need to spend million.
Just waiting for usable root.

Bro i also have the same problem with my realme 3. After the update, the video mode on gcam doesn't working. If u got the solution. Also help me.
Good news, I have found a working config for the latest update. You first have to download the apk from
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-fu24/#apk873
This is the apk called "fu24: MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_4lens_V1.3.030119.0645-02j.apk". Then use these configs I attached.
Night mode, portrait mode, video , slowmo are working.

Bro Thanks for the post. But the problem still doesn't solve. Every thing is working fine but the video is in 720p. But if we switch into 1080p, the gcam stops and automatically closes like the previous one. If u have this problem, plz anybody fine the solution or any modified config.xml file for this problem.??
Thanks.
Does our phone supports video recording with 60fps? If yes what app?

Yes 60 fps is recording in this config. I don't judge the result.

Thanks for this configuration !
Everything is working in good day lights
But, both back and front camera's performance is very poor( like a 2mp camera) in LOW Lights and ARTIFICIAL Lights.
Kindly fix this issue !
Try this apk

Thanks harischeong! Your Google camera is working good in daylight but it takes pictures only in 8mp.
I have already found the best one which clicks pictures with full 13 mp on both front and back camera. (Use Nexus 6p on both cameras for better photos and You can change some settings as per your understanding)

Is there any working GCam mod available for the MI 9 SE?
I tried several versions, only some of them work partially - night mode is lacking as hell.
Reminds me of the MI8 before they implemented fixes for it in the official ROM.
Did some1 have any more luck with a working version?
Camera2API is enabled and fully supported says Camera2API Probe app..
Found one on 4pda.ru

tried it just now, sadly the camera doesn't even launch (Chinese rom)
this is the only one that works,You have to adjust some settings.

Do you know what those settings would be?
Go to BSG mod settings-->Fix
Sett buffer fix to On
Image format JPEG (Need mi8)
Add aux to camera switch On
This is what I set
thanks, it works with such settings. I tried a night mode photo and the quality is improved a lot respect to miui camera

Thank you it works. Any ideas how to switch to the wide angle or telephoto lens?
Yeah, a wide lense support of the gcam as seen on the MI 9 and the LG Series would be really helpfull!
any news on this topic ?
try this, works for me
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1gDWU6OSkvlpQsV0NzrG--g
thx will try it.
a general question: how do we ensure that there is no nasty trojan or spyware in those apks ?
is there a way to sandbox those apps ?

I would like to post some pics but somehow I cant
so... no progress here, right.
i tested tons and several of modded gcam.. with none of them night mode is working properly. it just struggles around after 2sec and is not usable.
strange the the normal mi 9 has a working version.
is there something missing in case of firmware xiaomi has to patch to make it work? just asking because this was the case on mi8 and mix2s.. after a patch from xiaomi gcams were surprisingly working..

cmiiw, mi 9 se required gcam that has 'Frame Buffer' fix on it. Maybe that was firmware problem or maybe something else... ??*
uhmm no. not correct. buffer fix works indeed for normal gcam usage.. ut the buffer fix doesn't apply to night mode.
Can someone do a little comparison between stock camera and GCam? With some sample. This could be awesome.

I'd also appreciate this. From what I gather too, the gcam works fine in all functions other than night mode?
A quick comparison from my sofa.... both shots attempted to hold same position, with the focus on the nearest point of the lip of the cup.
Xiaomi.eu 9.5.9 shot on 48M camera mode - link
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.apk shot on 48M HDR+ camera mode - link
The default settings with Xiaomi camera produced 6000x8000 13.5MB JPEG, on gcam 3000x4000 2.0MB.
Colour reproduction, contrast and detail is so much better with HDR+ processing using gcam camera. This is typical of what I find when comparing gcam to xiaomi camera app.
