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
2018/01/22 – GoogleCamera-PixelMod
ChangeLog :
Fix green picture in front HDR+ for Moto Z
Add toggle "Improve photos in low light"
Setting of the parameter menu
Add About by respect of the developers
Other code for the HDR+ of the front camera (OP3/OP3T/OP5/OP5T)
Version tested on MI5 Android 8.1, This version replaces the original version of google and BSG.
---
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.
Please @Arnova8G2 can you fix this? Thanks!

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

No the ROM itself doesn't have api files for codes to work, example: for nougat we have an patch made by z2+ devs only for zui nougat, same like that try to get patch for zui Oreo rom
No slow motion in this camera..

Hi OP,
I'm testing ZUI Camera on AEX 6.3 Android 9 and it works partially.
• Works Slow Motion
• Works Time Lapse
• Works Mini Video
• Works Photo
• Works Video
° Doesn't work Night Shot
° Doesn't work App Settings
The first of the latters saves the picture but crashes the app.
The second crashes directly the app.
It would be nice to have this app working on custom ROM especially on Android 9.
Best regards.

I have tried this one:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556.apk
That is from Arnova.
Things that don't work are:
Front cam:
- Portrait.
- HDR
Back cam:
- Sphere: force close
- Slow motion.
Working:
- Night sight. You need to exit cam and open it again if you will be taking more than one pic. Otherwise it will keep processing HDR forever.
- Portrait with back cam
- Panorama
-Video recording with back cam at 60 fps
- Video recording with from cam
- Regular pics.
Everything else I have not tried or forgotten. I am on havoc. Btw, night sight... Wow.. excellent.

same problem bro
Latest parrot's 7.3 working all ok on android 10, even slowmo.
Only thing not working is selfie portrait, and for regular selfies you have to disable HDR else ir doesn't works.

Can Anyone Give me Google Camera GCAM APK for Redmi Note 5 AI version ? Thanks
The version I'm using right now (GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-17.apk) is the only gcam that works with everything on the AI version.
What makes this version awsome and the only gcam I will use is that the front camera has non of the bugs and crashes that all of the other gcams have on the AI version, pics work regardless of light condition, no tinting of images, HDR works on front camera, portrait works flawlessly and with hdr enabled.

I am on Oreo ( resurrection remix) which I didn't mention in my earlier reply. If anyone isnt getting the results I am, this may be the reason as most have moved to Pie.
If you want to try the latest version of GCam 7.0.009, you can download below. Requires atleast android version 9.0
Not stable requires some tweaking.

Seems to be working fine. What tweaking is required? Thanks!
I was not able to set up in my smartphone
The app opens on my G6 running PixelExperience. I can even open the settings without crashing, the apps I was using before crashed doing that. Changing cameras to selfie works, but after you press it again it wants to open wide lens, the app immediately crashes.
Hello nice link. But the picture is very noisy compared to the cstark27 version (maybe the iso is too high and the exposure is very very short)
Is their an older version for LG G6 users stuck on Android 8 (Oreo)?

and its working great so far but remember that u need to go to the app settings and enable the wide angle camera (do NOT turn on the telephoto or your gcam will enter in a crashing loop, just the wide angle) and enable the astrophotography too, if u want

Hi. I have a question about the camera, in the front camera, do you also get blurry photographs? I have tried many versions, and with almost all of them I had that problem. I currently use Hypercam_R6, and it works well with both cameras.

Yes I have the same issue
I dont recommend 7 version on G6, try Arnova's 6.1, 6.2 or cstark version on his XDA post, in every version front camera sucks, u look weird, green, saturated, ugly, etc, but by now this is my top 3
Is there any version that supports both Timelapse and SloMo?
How to turn on wide camera?
Pixel Experience
This gcam is buggy
How about you stop spamming this **** 4+ times on the same forum section?
I tried these Gcam 7 versions on my LG G6 with Havoc OS 3.3:
> HYPER-NEXCam_7.2.10_V1.0_NEW_LIBS.apk
> GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk
So far these versions work quite well beside the front camera. The front camera is blurry even when the preview is sharp. Any fix for this?
