Since everyone on the huge OnePlus 3 thread gets tetchy if you raise queries about other phones, I decided to start a discussion thread. What have your experiences with these mods been, and which variations work best for you?
Personally, I've opted for the recent Google Camera Pixel Mods by @Arnova8G2 as they seem to give the best all-round functionality on this phone. I can switch between the various mods and configs without a hitch, and portrait mode works a charm. I find that the main Arnova mod (GCMod5) doesn't seem to work well on this phone in Portrait mode, either failing to take a pic without HDR + or giving greenish selfies with HDR+ active; his Pixel Mod, on the other hand, works perfectly.
Google Camera Pixel Mod links: Original version (more options in advanced); v1 (improved video stabilisation).
Recommendation: If you want detailed main and selfie cam pictures, set the model config to "Nexus 5x" instead of "Nexus 6P"; I was dissatisfied with the selfies on the latter config, but after reading this by B-S-G, I switched and all was well. The main camera config, as with the actual Nexus phones, is exactly the same.
UPDATE (11/2/20):
Recommended cams:
Oreo: MGC_5.1.018_tolyan009_v1.4.1-test6.apk
Pie: MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e+.apk (no libs)/(w/libs)/(dark menu w/libs)
10: MGC_7.2.014_Parrot043-v3.apk ; MGC_6.1.021_mi6 edition _v7.7a (6.1 interface, plenty of libs, XML compatibility).

Has anyone tried to rename in built.prop the line "Z2 Pro" with "Z2121" and checked after restarting if problem still occurs?

I tried and the max recording fps still 30 - I think is something related to the camera driver. The dev of the ROM's need to fix it
Edit:
New Cam Mod Released by @Arnova8G2

Other code for the HDR+ of the front camera (OP3/OP3T/OP5/OP5T)

I tried on my device with Cosmic OS from 20/01 and everything works except for the portrait mode on front cam where the shots have some greenish effect.

This "Pixel2Mod" doesn't work as well for this phone as the "PixelMod". Greenish front HDR+, followed by crashes; plus, all the model/HDR+ configuration options are gone.
@Arnova8G2, if you could add a toggle to fix the greenish/pinkish tint on the back camera's "HDR+ on" mode, and perhaps stick in your "improve photos in low light" toggle, the original "PixelMod" would be the best GCam mod for this phone, hands down.

Everything working except for still greenish effect on front camera portrait mode, and no hdr+ on front camera.
I suggest you guys to do a clear cache/data on every install.
may I ask in which ROMs Google Camera works properly ?
I know that it works on AEX 5.1 but that ROM seems to be buggy for me , I did not like it. I use RR v5.8.3 for a long time since it is very stable and battery life is good but I tried to install Google Camera in that ROM , no luck..
Does any of the Nougat ROMs for Zuk Z2 Pro supports camera2api ? anyone knows?

I don't think any Nougat ROM for this phone supports Camera2API. It was kinda a big deal when it was annouced for AEX 5.1. What version of 5.1 was "buggy" for you? The latest official version has issues, but the New Year's Eve beta works great.

The last version works really slow for me.. for example double tab to wake feature works with 1-2 seconds delay. Same as pressing power button to wake device up works with delay.. Wifi toggle also same.. I mean in general feeling ROM was quite slow compared to RR Nougat ROM. I saw your post about new year's eve version in another topic , I downloaded it and tried to install but somehow same gapps which was working in latest version did not work in new year's eve version.. Can you tell me which gapps (with release date of gapps) did you flash exactly?
Last 2 days I keep switching between ROMs to check which one is most stable.. I should say that definitely Stock ROM with Android 8 is the fastest and most stable one. But it is very frustrating that you can not use Google Camera in that ROM , such an annoyance.. howcome ZUI developers did not include camera2api in Oreo version , i could not understand

This will be a dedicated thread for the different Google Camera ports working for the Xiaomi Mi A1 since other threads are not being updated by their OPs and I will try to maintain this one like the OnePlus 6 Google Camera Port thread. These are the most stable GCam ports for our device and I'll be updating this thread each time a new port is available.

Thanks! Added to the OP
Rom version: Nitrogen OS 9.0
Gcam version : GCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013
Feedback : front photo green
Photo captured :
Here some sample for comparison,
App: MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+
Rom: Stock 8.1
Darker ones are shot with HDR+ enhanced mode and Brighter ones are with Night Mode
Everything is working fine in Arnova8G2 GCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013 except front camera. All the pictures taken with front cam are greenish and blurry. Night sight working like a charm. I'm on LiquidRemix 10.0.1 pie ROM. Here are some samples.
GCam with HDR+ GCam with Night Sight
GCam with HDR+ GCam with Night SightGCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013
Appreciate the feedback guys! Keep them coming!
Great thread! Quick question tho, anyone still getting the dot pattern bug when shooting bright blue skies and bright colors? It shows when zooming in photos taken with hdr+
The front camera will be fixed in the next version, i talked to aranova and he will fix it.
The arnova pixel3 version works a bit slow/laggy for me, also no live picture in night mode, although it works/produces the image. BSG version works better, except for the annoying "hexagon" popup.
Side question - which is the best/most stable gcam version with ZSL/motion stills/slomo? I used a pretty old one, I wonder if there was any progress to this day - will try the ones in 1st post tomorrow.
p.s is there any way of having several camera apps installed? Usually it wants to overwrite the current one, although id like to test a few ones parallel.
cheers,
j.

Did not test this with the BSG mod I installed, but the front camera is green. And it says "hexagon failed" when taking a portrait or night photo but it still seems to work. Could you edit the post and add this? Thanks

All 6.1+ versions still have front cam issues if you'd read previous replies.

The 625 is weak and zsl and other features would be too much for it.
Some launchers can rename apps. App cloners should also be able do it.
Great to join this thread..
hope front face camera will be fix soon
Thanks bro

I download ARCore patcher in Magisk, download newest ARCORE from google play and Minecraft Earth from google play, Is there a way to turn on AR in minecraft, when I want to build somethink this show me blue screen with instruction but camera doesnt work. Same with Special Delivery ( Fnaf Game ) Camera doesnt work.
Find AR Playground or AR stickers (old name), install it, and also make sure your google camera is walking on your phone. After you installed the playground, in google camera > more, there shud be a playground for AR stickers and make sure it works too, and you are done.
I'm using the GCam version from here (NGCam 7.4), along with the Nik-1.5 config, dotfix v5.7, and "GCam Enable Aux All Device" v2.1, and Gcam still crashes when taking a picture with one camera, then switching to the other (main->aux or aux->main).
I can't really find any updated GCam info (that doesn't just point to that version), so I'm wondering if anyone's got a working GCam setup?
I'm on Resurrection Remix 8.6.3 Android 10, rooted with Magisk.
EDIT: It turns out that if I wait ~8 seconds or so after taking a photo, switching to the other camera doesn't crash it. So I'm guessing trying to switch during the background saving/processing of the image is what causes an issue.
Hi guys, I need xml config file for Motorola Edge 5G, now I use Gcam 7.3.018 Urnyx05 v2.3. It works very well, but if it is possibile, I would the xml file to make the photos better.
Thanks.
8.2 works better. You get motion photos with that. Go to gcam updates, look for 8.2 greatness. There are config files, meant for other phones, try to look for ones with the same camera sensor(GW1 sensor, made by Samsung).

There is no direct config made for the edge in gcam. I use natural, because it's supposed to be less phone critical (specific). I tried the A52(samsung) config, it didn't go well. You may have to try other phone's configs, if natural doesn't do it for you. I've switched to the latest ngcam and added the greatness "natural" xml config with it, seems to work well. Gcams, are like a " box of chocolates" , you never know what you're gonna get.
8.3 v~ will install, will work for a little while, then will close upon start . It worked so good, then crashed. Seemed to be the only one, that didn't need a config file.
