Google camera mod (UPDATE)

Bworking versions https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/..._N6_GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19cdbZ_TlhhynmLdZterd1zxdBN4hLSVD/view https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/..._N6_GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk VERSION WITH VIDEO WORKING! Update.from 8.8.30 till 8.9.3 Miui version gcam didnt have "washed out" colors.unfortunately from 8.9.4 they return....but thanks to NatronCH and extremegreat we got the solution from version 8.9.4 and after. flash this fix for washed out colors
https://www.filedropper.com/polarisfixgcamcolors theres also a magisk module for color fix also. https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4591757&d=1536468359. BEST WORKING NEW VERSION. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.3.015_MI8_V1a.apk

I have tried several on MIUI China Dev rom. Whenever you activate any of the HDR functions, the camera starts to lag significantly and it is not possible to take any pictures. I think that someone reported it working on the P preview rom though.
Edit: I have just tried some latest version of Arnvoa Gcam port and portrait mode works perfectly.
Although the HDR effect does not apply, the portrait mode works for both front and back camera.
The only problem is a blue-ish tint on the front camera. But it works!

Nice to hear this. Does HDR+ works on both Rear and front camera?
Does the front camera go up side down?

HDR+ works on both front and rear cameras. Front camera does not go up side down.

The versions mentioned are not working with hdr+ mode. When you shot and try to see the photo is missing the "hdr proccesing" msg. Any other version i tryied its just lagging the camera when try to setup (ie nexus 6 or pixel2)...

Not work hdr+ on mix 2s( checked for MIUI and Android p. Two options: the photo is taken without HDR+ or the camera application is closed

Xiaomi Mix 2S IMX363 sensor have very similar spec comparing to Google Pixel 2. I think if the Google Camera Mod is fixed, it would give the very close result of what Pixel 2 get. Just like the Mi 5s got the same sensor as Pixel 1.

I tried most versions with my Mix 2s on Global ROM 9.5.18.0 and when I try to use portrait mode it freezes and stops working. The portrait mode on the default cam app sucks hard!

I agree, it is REALLY bad. The camera overall can take pretty good pictures but the portrait mode shots look terrible when the subject is a person. There's a ton of detail lost and their faces look washed out and smoothed out somehow.

Someone can post me a link to download the miui camera app?
I've the dp2 ROM and I've forgot to backup it
(You can simply use amaze file manager and go in the app manager menu to backup it)

Same result here... No version of gcam is working properly for my mi2s... What the hell...

I agree. The stock camera uses the tele photo lens above the standard lens to make portrait mode pictures. I've only found great/acceptable results taken portrait mode fotos in broad daylight. Anything taken in doors are useless. Shame, as the standard sensor is so much better and comparable to the pixel phones in terms of capabilities.
Hungry for Gcam port to 2s that works as good as they do on the Mix 2.

How to get HDR+ in GCam for selfie cam?

I've been using GCam on my Mi5S with great success, taking some incredibly photos with the back camera, but I'm certain the selfie/front camera isn't making use of HDR+.
Has anyone managed to get it working? I can't get the option to show up when I switch to selfie mode, and the dynamic range is way too low and noise too high for HDR+ to be activating.

It requires android 8.1 and up. Almost all gcam modded app works on our device.

Oh what the. But... I definitely had HDR+ working on my GS7 on both front and back cameras, both on Nougat and Oreo.
So if I flash an 8.1 ROM on my Mi5S, I should be able to activate HDR+ on the selfie camera?

Update: Flashed LOS 15.1 but HDR+ still doesn't work on front cam.
Anyone else got any suggestions?

What version of gcam did you used? Almost all gcam mod works on our device.You can try arnova's or tolyang's. Those versions works well with hdr+ on front.

It's initially for the S10 but it worked on the S9, I have downloaded DAY version and I modified the settings as said in the website. Portrait is working well on my S9.
And finally go to developer settings and check them like this screenshot below.

Does the Portrait mode works on Front camera? inst working for me on my S9 SM960F [ EXYNOS]. Despite this, the rest of the functions work perfectly. I have already installed and configured more than 10 different versions of GCAM for Exynos processor and I did not succeed with portrait mode with the front camera, does anyone know which one works?

I really don't like de blurry effect and the lack of HDR and definition in the stock Samsung camera app. Iam on the june patch and really miss the Gcam app. The gcam app still works fine on my Galaxy s7 edge (one UI Pie custom Rom), but no way to work on the S9 with stock rom.

Oh, I thought he was talking about the selfie. The stock camera app is sharper than gcam and HDR is much better as far as I've seen, gcam just darkens all the shadows and the processing looks overdone.

I know a lot of people used to think the stock camera was oversharpened, personally I think some images look a bit soft on auto, but pro mode especially using raw and editing in lightroom you get an amazingly sharp detailed photo

Forgot about that, you're right!
This is beyond strange, still working for me. Try to take another picture with front camera and check like a minute later if the pic is showing in your gallery. It takes a bit for our A2 to proceed the selfie. If it's still not working idk?

Still no luck. Can take picture in normal mode, not in hdr. Have you changed any settings, developer settings?

Does the focus on Android Pie work?

10.0.14.0 HDR not working on the front facing camera, everything else works I believe. Also i think there was a version that could shot 1080 60fps video, not really sure, this version only shots at 30 fps. Thanks for the apk!!

the focus is very unstable

On my phone it won't even install, even though I have camera2 api. Other GCam's (version 5 and 6) do work.
It is this one, right? GCam_7.0.009_A_005.apk

Indeed, after uninstalling both the V5 and V6 GCam, it worked. Thanks!
Too bad i have to manually switch HDR off when using the front cam, and back on again when using the back cam.

There are focus issues as usual. If someone can specifically build a GCam version for Mi A series, that would be great.

I didn't meant the settings thing, i want the feature, while shooting in night mode there should be the cuttlefish mode, this mode have a very long exposure time like 1 min or so and u have to keep the phone steady for that time. This mode ultimately create more sharper image than the previous night mode, also can detect stars.

Thanks for the link.
We are gratefull to the developers.
Just I tried it with video on rear camera.
I am not happy with it.
- The image stabilization doesn't working on it.
- There are issues barrel at super wide lens, the default xiaomi camera has a better algorithm (probably) that corrects the barel issue that normally have these lenses.

Sure!
There is an upload video on youtube about this .apk on Mi 11 Lite.
The version is 8.1.101.345618084 the same like us.
The compared photos seems the good work of GCam.
If you see at the end (07:55) the video image stabilization of GCam is wrong.
I have tried the following, but I have some crashed all the time:
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk

Why use the 8.3? Its in beta so a lot of stuff doesnt work. Use MGC 8.1 the latest stable version. You can also use a config to make everything work including slow-mo.

Think you should be able to load this into the app. I got it from the BSG gcam telegram. If you dont like 16:9 you can just change it from the dropdown settings menu quickly.

Thanks a lot for the config.xml.
Actually I'm not able to load it inside the app. I made a folder GCam/Configs8 and put the xml inside - however when I double tap near the cam shutter button, the import dialog doesn't show?
Maybe it's the Gcam version, I downloaded the one from the first post here.

Use THIS link to download the newest version. Download any of the 3 first apk. If it helps I usually use ENG apk but snap also works fine. It should have an option to add custom xml files in the settings. Just point it to the folder where its located (can be anywhere on the phone).

Great, that was the solution.
I'm very happy to have a fully functional Gcam on my phone now.
Thanks again!
