Google camera port with Hdr+ (abandoned)

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:
Credit : @defcomg
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.

Autofocus works great. Many thanks!
@kalyansundhar
Can you add this to los14.1?

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.
No mather if stock or linageOS.
Only Footej Camera is able to record video. Anyone else?

After enable api cam my device stock camera showing error what I do

search in build.prop this line:
HTML:
camera.hal1.packagelist
put the package name of apps that are not working well with camera2api, like this:
HTML:
camera.hal1.packagelist=com.whatsapp,com.instagram.android,com.vsco.cam
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?
PD: I have stock room
( Sorry for my English)

Sorry I don't know enough about that things
I've downloaded the app and installed but he's crashing when starts
I didn't install that file ( enable_hal3.zip) because I don't know what it is and how to install it
Can someone teach me how to do it
(My cellphone isn't rooted)

Thanks for give your important time for moto g5s device

How I can make rollback after zip? The original camera has stopped working, after several shots others cams.

Can we pls have latest versions' port
As Oreo received by the device is 32-bit

Google Camera with Portrait Mode

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.

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.

Working GCam Mod?

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?

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

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
