Took a few videos using this phone at my sons birthday earlier. Very disappointed at the quality. Is there particular settings I should be using when taking videos? Or is there a better app to use? Pictures are good but not brilliant. So maybe my settings are not set correctly. Thanks in advance.

It is an app, actually many apps. Gcam is the Google's Pixel camera port and it works great on Android 8.1 Oreo. Not so much on Pie though, on Pie Xiaomi broke the focus and none of the gcams can properly focus. So if you're on Pie, don't bother, it won't be worthy of your time. If you're on Oreo, go to guides section and find guides about "camera 2 API" or "cam2API". Follow them to the letter then sideload gcam apk. :good:
I'm on android 9

U need root for the perfect version. U need to install Armova Magisk Fix v2.2 and savitars Colorfix (optional) for better GCam experience.. After installing these try Arnova latest Google Camera port.

Here is the camera app of Op 6, you can try and say if there is anything different from our camera app.

Thing is I've got Camera M and the Gcam fixes installed and I get the feeling they might conflict. Anyone want to try it out?

Yea. Because thats not the latest OP6 camera. Thats old one.
The update is out for the OP6 (which includes the front cam portrait mode) and i am sure that someone will make it work for our OP5T. Just wait.

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.

Thanks for your reply. Version I'm using is GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta2.apk.
Is there a different one that's recommended? Or can I change some settings to activate it?
Try this one.

Sorry for delay. For some reason I didn't get notified of your reply
Tried this one; it's taking photos, but not applying HDR+, even with Enhanced on.

Version 7 of Pixel 3 Camera port for P1 and P2 is here.
I make this thread because many people don't know about the existence of it because there isn't a dedicated thread for it on Pixel 1 Forum.
Here's the link to the original thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78183854&postcount=696
All credits go to @cstark27 for this awesome work as always!

Not very stable.
On Pie, sometime it's ok the motion capture, sometime not. The camera app is ok. It's the app google photo who force close often when you watch a motion photo.

Motion issue is known issue. Follow the dev's advice from the link in OP.
Hi, I re-enabled the camera2 API after the latest security patch released a couple of days ago and started playing around again with the various Google Camera ports to find the best one(s). Comparing photos between the stock camera app and the ones with Google Camera I can't find big differences anymore.
Differences were HUGE before the update, both on details and on general quality (especially in low-light environments). Now the quality of the stock camera (com.android.camera version 2.0) seems to be very near to the Google Camera. Maybe is it using camera2 API, if available? Or am I crazy?

I think you're crazy Stock app doesn't use Cam2API. Your issue might be related to focus issues on Gcam. Try 16:9 on Photo Mode then take a photo, so you might see the difference :good:

To be honest, I've tried to get the OTA and install it through Magisk, as described in many guides, but it didn't work (boot loop), so I did a factory reset and reinstalled Camera2 with this guide, with the hope to avoid this problem with the next OTA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-camera2-api-t3851414

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
