https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

For the RN5Pro Global/CN: If you want HDR and Portrait in the RearCam get Arnova's GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk (the most Stable port) but if you want HDR, Portrait and Night Sight in the RearCam get BSG's MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk.

and in case anybody wonders do you have to enable API 2 for them to work properly ?

The Google Camera with HDR+ uses algorithms that aren't possible to get with Camera1API, that's why Camera2API was developed. The GCam only opens if it detects that the new API is activated, otherwise it force closes.
If you have it activated and wanna see the difference between API1 and API2 download Open Camera, go to configurations, disable the option "use Camera2API" to force the use of API1, go to HDR mode and take a photo. It will take 3 pictures with different bracketing and merge them together, this process without API2 will take 5-10 seconds. After that go to configurations, enable the option "use Camera2API", go to HDR and take another picture. The process now will take up to 1-2 seconds. With API2 it's faster and the results are better.

Thanks for the explanation
just to help out people on a stock rom wondering why it immediately closes when they open it

Why no Pro Video Mode in Camera Xiaomi Mi 9 SE?

I am a big fan of my Mi 9 SE. But there are two things that disapoint me:
1. The MACRO MODE never made it (yet) to my device. I have MIU global stable 10.3.4, and there is no macro mode tk be found...
2. The lack of PRO VIDEO MODE in the camera is very puzzling to me. PRO MODE is already present in the camera, why not for VIDEO too? If Xiaomi does not intend on adding pro video, at least they could release the SDK for other devs to have access to all lenses, so we could use alternate Camera Video Apps that have full manual features....

Now that we have optimized kernel for battery, I think the weakness of this phone is video recording which is too unstable.

Still no pro mode for video even on the latest MIUI 11

[GCAM 7.x][Astro, Telephoto, wide lens, and 48MP mod][MIUI 11,12 Q][1/28/2020]

Works with MIUI 10 as well no problems, thanks for the link. The quality for Portrait mode is astonishing!

What's the reason of having gcam if it only shoots in 12 and 5 MP? Even the ones that have 48mp option they shoot 12mp

You should check the quality of a stock camera and Google camera 7, the difference is big. Megapixels has nothing to do with that but the software algorithm does. Gcam has awesome algorithm. And it's 12 and 9 MP by the way.

This gcam is the first one I realli notice a difference from stock. In others, I felt that only night sight was better, but this one is good

Those are kinda "fake" 48mp. The 12mp are better with gcam. It's unnecessary to use more megapixels.

Even with good Algorithm, 48 to 12 is a big cap :\

Thank you so much for these recommended settings, I will definitively try it out!
What about libaries? In version 6.2 it was recommended to switch from standard google libs to custom libs. Is it ok to go with standard google libs on version 7.0?

Slow Motion not working.

Not for me. I think it should turn on even when you have phone laying on table.

Do you guys also notice that this camera is more zoomed in than what you get on the stock camera with the main camera?

GCam for Oneplus 7T (15Jun2020)

Folks,
Opening up a thread for all discussion, links pics sharing using gcam mod for our 7T.
Im starting with the best working mod until now for me.
Im not rooted so dont know if wide angle can be used or not. Those who are rooted can tell me and I will update the thread.
All the credits goes to the creators/authors of the apk and xml.
GCAM 7.3 :: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3_Burial_release_beta_5.apk
XML :: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/f/2020/06/AmitBurial7.3-beta5.xml
XML is by yours truly All 3 lenses are tuned.
You can change the parameters as per your taste.

Q1. How to import XML files.
A1. Copy xml file in below folder. You need to create the folders.
/GCam/Configs7/
The top folder, /GCam/, should be created on the same level as the DCIM, Downloads, etc, folders.
Q2. Bugs
A2. Slow-mo is not working which is known issue in most gcam.
Pic facing the sun might not get saved.
Q3. 48mp mode not available
A3. Blame Oneplus [emoji1]
Q4. My tele & UW lens are not working
A4. You need root for both lens to work.

Portrait mode and night sight working fine on both front and rear camera?

I am on Huawei p30 pro. I was waiting for pixel 4 to launch. But since pixel 4 is not getting launch in India, do you guys think if op7t with gcam will be better than p30 pro?

P30 pro is an excellent shooter. If your only priority is camera , currently 7T with gcam will be very close, but it wont beat it specially in 5x optical zoom lens. Only thing is gcam development for 7T hasnt really begun, so not sure. 7T has all the required hw for camera tech, with proper gcam it can be the silent killer.

Even I was waiting for Pixel 4. But, now after comparing 7T with Pixel 3. I'm more inclined towards OnePlus for its looks and specs. 
 @amit_sen Is gcam port on non-Pixel devices gives you quality close to Pixel? I have Google Camera(had taken the backup when it used to be available on Play Store) on my OnePlus 2 but I don't see much difference.

Here is one GCam 7.0 working Mod tho it crashes while trying to zoom and still many features are to added yet.

A small doubt! why is the stock camera not taking pictures in 48MP resolution ?

any sample picture?

Enable Pro mode from camera settings. Then select 48mpJPG option. By default stock cam takes 12mp pics.

The existing one gives a bootloop.

Double tap somewhere near the capture button.

Thanks that worked. Are there any other profiles you would suggest other than the one by Savitar?

Looks good so far. I recognized that beauty mode does not work either main or front cam.

Do you know if OnePlus 7T comes with Camera2Api set to LEVEL_3 or FULL? I haven't found any informations online. As far as I know One Plus 6/6T were just FULL, but I've read some XDA threads reporting that OnePlus 7 PRO was LEVEL_3 instead... so I'm pretty confused.

On that gcam apk the camera just stays black and then crashes any ideas why ?

GCam for P30 pro - working panorama

I found this one works on the P30 pro with working panorama/photo sphere. Slow motion doesn't work, but the rest does, I think.
Hope this helps:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=10763459528675585004

The problem is that support for camera2 API on huawei p30 pro is limited. That's why gcam ports don't work or only partially.

GCam for P30 Pro is pointless when you can't use the other camera sensors.
The stock camera app is better than that old GCam version anyway
