Plz Upload your official camera apk !

Hey plz can someone upload the official camera apk of oppo find 7a ! I would like to use it on other devices !

It won't work, most probably.

Download ROM file, extract camera Oppo and his librairies and try to test on your device...

Since I created a topic with the camera apk some time ago and it's just a few topics below this one, I consider that solution unnecessary...

Download the Nexus5/oneplus one camera apk... Works pretty good w/CM11 and Find7

Even better, try the Lenovo Super Camera.

Woah, why is that apk 52MB?

Dunno. It has a ton of features, and includes a gallery. Originally it had some reading-sms permissions, a popup thing and a QR code reader, which have been removed.

is the google camera app any good? I have heard mixed reviews

It's not too bad, but zoom on it has been horrible in my experience. Very pixelated.

The LOS camera, i.e. Snapdragon camera, is great, probably better than Sony stock camera.
Alternately, you can try OpenCamera, very good too.

I've no such problems with LOS camera on my Z5.
To force external-sd saving, you can use the magisk module Magic Folder Binder

thanks a lot for your reply!
can LOS14.1 cope with other camera ports? is it worth trying to make camera quality better using port?
you are talking just about camera apps. i'm sorry if something is wrong from me, but i dont know much about it.
and one more sorry for my english..)

There are several HTC camera ports available on XDA, you can try them (anyway always backup first...)

Do note I have an Xperia Z5 so results may vary for you, but I've found best results using the ProShot app, it's worked amazingly on several different phones I've tested so I'd imagine it would work well on a Z1 as well. Definitely worth looking into.

From what I understand, you're trying to install the APK on OnePlus 5. It won't run on OnePlus 5.
The APK itself even after installing on Sony stock ROM can only be accessed through Sony camera app.

I don't think it's that simple or maybe I'm not aware of it. But the background defocus app works by taking two photos to get the blur effect since Xperia phones are not yet equipped with dual cameras.
Since OnePlus 5 is equipped with dual camera, you can use Google camera app (Given that OnePlus has enabled Camera2 API). By doing this you'll get superior quality images compared to background defocus app.
People using Xperia phones are worried because Sony has not enabled Camera2 API fully. You have a dual cam and most probably Camera2 API enabled. I suggest you to try Google camera.

Ignore! [MOD] Arnova8G2's gcam mod 6.* for Pixel

This thread is no longer relevant. Please use the infinitely better alternatives our there, for example cstark's.
MODs , please lock this thread
For Android 9 only.
Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xiWoktC_T_fnTOBeSNENWGwLQd2WJNMp/view?usp=drivesdk
If you try to install Arnova's version, it will fail due to conflicts with the original GCam. This is just a cloned app that can be installed on Pixel/Pixel XL.
All credit goes to @Arnova8G2. All bugs/functionality from that app are also present here.

Hi, I'm curious what is different from Official Google Camera from Playstore, the Pixel 3 Camera APK, and Arnova's version you linked, and these?

Arnova's version has some of the pixel 3 functionality enabled for other phones (like portrait mode and focal length changing after taking a portrait mode photo). If you install the non moded version, you don't get portrait mode or h256 encoding for videos (and more).
None of the v6 based moded gcam apps on the site you link work on Pixel due to their manifest, which is exactly the same as the original app (preinstalled on pixels), forces an update of the original app, update which fails as it recognizes that the moded version is not really a qualified update for the original one

I installed it on Pixel.. CameraNX captures much more beautiful photos.
More saturated and brighter

Working great . Thanks for compiling it.
Will you update whenever Arnova updates or wait for stable builds only?

Does it has top shot, night sight, super res zoom, motion auto focus, photobooth, etc all the features in pixel 3??
Will it ever get it?

There is no trick involved.. may be your download is corrupt.

how is it possible to modify the apk so that you can install it on an pixel.

Dont Start. Not for this device and wants to Install App cloner.

Apk from apk mirror installs perfectly but This Arnova mod is not. App cloner seems to solve this problem.

Newer version available. Nothing exciting yet. It's more stable than the previous version. Night mode and photobooth options are there but not really doing anything. Also I am unable to get topshot to work so if anyone has been able to kindly share.
Note: Use App Cloner from Playstore to install
Can't share the link since I am new here. Just Google 'Arnova GCam' and download GoogleCamera_6.1.009.215420794-beta-1.apk

Silly question, but is it possible to download the newest Arnova app without updating the stock cam and without app cloners?

I updated my stock camera with the 6.1 APK taken from the Pixel 3 that can be found on APK Mirror and it replaced the one that came with the system.
Then I downloaded the one from the Google Drive link on the first post and also works and installs as CameraP, but has a little bit of an issue with WB.
Do the new releases try to overwrite the stock Camera?

Yes.
So you have to install using AppCloner. I can't share links or otherwise I would have shared the apk with you guys.
The newer version is much more stable. Seems almost perfect except for the zoom. You have to tap the plus button to zoom, if you pinch zoom it will crash. Also, HDR+Enhanced is giving some next level low light shots. Portrait mode seems better than Camera NX. No Top shot, night sight, Photobooth for now.

I never used AppCloner. Does it require root?
Edit: I've checked over the Play store and there are a lot of app cloning Aps. Which one do you recommend?
Can you provide either a play store link or the exact name of the app and Dev so we can try this new GCam port.
Thanks!
EDIT 2: Never mind the link. I got it from APK Mirror. I installed the camera but the viewfinder was really laggy and the phone started getting really hot. So I just uninstalled both, the Camera and AppCloner.
Did something similar happen to you?

I don't like the idea of installing app cloner. Hopefully there will be a way to install it alongside stock app

Not really. Pixel does get hot occasionally though. And both cameras you mentioned are working pretty well on my side. I am loving the Arnova's version and can't wait for the next release.

Get all google pixel 3 camera features

Hi,
I installed the Bliss rom based on Android 9 because is the only recently updated Pie rom based on which I can install and run the official google camera version 6.1.021.
It works fine with video, camera, night sight but there aren't others pixel 3 camera features like the portrait mode / bokeh and photobooth.
Why?
I read on a blog that changing the device info in build.prop file to:
ro . product . model=Pixel 3
ro . product . name=blueline
ro . product . device=blueline
The camera app recognize the device as a Pixel 3 and it enables all missing features.
I tried to do this but the app crashes when I open it.
someone tried this method? I'm not interested to use other camera mod as workaround to get this features, i'm interested to get them on the original camera app.
Someone have any suggest?
Thank you guys!
Bye :highfive:

How about "Buy a Pixel 3"?

How about "I don't want spend hundreds dollars to buy a new phone until mine works perfectly and I may have all features of the new one just with few little tricks"?

Well, you may not want to, that's fine, not making your decisions for you. But even if you do get the original pixel gcam on your n5x, the performance will be bad. So it's better if you either use the available gcam mods, or just buy a pixel 3.
