Google Camera port with HDR+ and V30

Better use this one port
Probably you all may try and find out how to get best shots
Remember to set HDR+ mote to enhanced

Where's the original thread this came from? I'd like to do some more reading up on it.

Ok, I've seen that stuff before. So this is still the same line of that port where we have to dig through menus in hopes of finding the magic combo to make HDR stuff work? I had zero luck with that in a previous version. And did you use the same download link?

I used the download at the bottom of the link I sent you. Seems to be the same port you mention but to be honest, I havent even played with it yet.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to need to find the original link to this from a reputable source. Just tried clicking into the link in the OP from work and the safeguard software that usually comes up yellow/gold for sites that are not allowed came up red. That's a first for me and enough for me to not download from that site.

I can tell you a side by side won't happen. That's the first time I've ever seen that severe of a warning pop-up for a site before so I won't be going there. I did load from the this link though and it looks like this still requires some set-up to get HDR working on it. It's dark out now so I won't know until later.

I tried the google camera. However, I find GP camera app sometimes adds more noise but does not over expose as much as LG camera. However, in some cases the LG is better...Guess it just depends on the situation. Here are some sames I took in auto mode using the same focus point (touched area to make sure they both focused on same object). of course the ones with the post it GP on them is the Google Camera app. These are in low light to very low light.

ya....i have the same opinions. V30 camera app at times produces better photos, where others Pixel 2 Camera does.
Pixel 2 ZERO SHUTTER LAG is no joke though, and i'm not sure if HDR+ is occuring as since if so the HDR+ is done within a split second with no status.

Is this better or the same as Google camera NX 7.1?

I'd been looking for a working recent version for awhile. The other ones I could find were either an older version, or the updated version with all the options, but didn't work. Thank you for this! Going to test in a bit. I know it won't be Pixel 2 quality, but if I could match S8/N8 quality, I'd be super happy.

ok...so last night i was doing a bit of testing with Arnova's 5.1.014_v8.1 (Android 7+): same as BSG's v.4.0, but based on the new GCamera 5.1.x, with settings set as listed below. I do have to say...image quality as well as color reproduction is better than with the V30's camera. the difference is slight, but noticeable when you zoom into hard to focus lock area's. color reproduction is also a touch better. one thing to note though was I did run into a few freeze or hick ups with GCMod 5.1. When I'd press the shutter button, it would grey the screen, or do nothing. Would have to press the shutter button 2-5 times sometimes but it eventually would take the photo. Not always but sometimes this would occur.

Settings:
Model: Pixel 2XL (or Nexus 6P if you want more detailed images)
Config camera HDR+: Nexus6 HDR+ Auto Zsl (or Nexus6 HDR+ Auto)
HDR+ parameters: Medium (or higher)
To enable the HDR+ UI button: Settings > Advanced > HDR+ control (img)
The rest (video resolution, camera sounds, etc) is up to you.
Warning: You need to restart the app so the new settings are applied.

I've tested the front cam with the port at the above settings but LG's own camera comes out better every time. Does anyone have a different experience?

Droid Life today says the V30 Oreo beta is available to a select group of users in Korea. Naturally they cite "speed improvements" and I'm sure the camera software is lumped into that.
http://social.lge.co.kr/newsroom/lg_v30_os_1102/
I'd have to guess that at some point "too soon" in the V30's Nougat development, the team was forced to say "that's good enough -- ship it" and move on to 8.0 (or 8.1 -- fingers crossed) development. No sense in wasting resources perfecting an already out-of-date OS..
It's unfortunate the timing works out the way it does -- surely this results in some of the critiques the phone has received, and those blemishes can't be easily undone, even if they release a *flawless* Oreo in the next couple of months with a fully optimized camera experience.

As usual, simply having this app installed on my device causes a battery drain. Oh well. It works rather well though.

[APP] Modded Google Camera

After trying many versions from the main thread in op3 forum, I found a version that works best for the nextbit robin. Considering it's running on an 808, decent performance with HDR+ even in low light.
Credits to B-S-G at 4PDA for the mod.
Settings: screenshot
APK: mirror

can't seem to get the decryption key to work.

You probably copied it wrong. Blame xda for not allowing links to be posted. Excluding http prefix seems to work around it.

The version from this post seems to work as well on the latest LineageOS. The "Config camera HDR+" setting should be "Nexus6 (Max = High)".

Can the HDR+ parameter actually be set to High though? Several versions I tried could only do Medium. The version I posted came directly from the thread on 4PDA.

Yes, the "High" setting works in that build.

Works great so far on AOSPA. Thanks for sharing.

Does this camera have slow motion? I have been trying to find a camera that offers slow motion for the Nextbit Robin. So far I've been unsuccessful. Currently I am stock, but would be open to flashing something like RR or Lineage if its stable and I dont lose any functionality...i.e.. fingerprint reader and everything else works.

I haven't yet seen a version with working slow motion on the Robin. 60fps works, though.

The latest 5.1.016-based mod from B-S-G seems to work as well, using the "Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto" setting. Unfortunately, I've had no luck getting any of the 5.1.018 versions working.

Can you please post a screenshot of your settings page? Thank you.
Any other setting you changed/tried that work well?

The settings I'm currently using are:
Code:
Model: Nexus 6P
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto
HDR+ parameters: High
As I understand it, the "Model" selection tweaks certain algorithms that affect the final image, though I haven't seen any definitive explanation for that.
When installing updates to this app, it's often necessary to clear all data for it, or else it may crash.
EDIT: Oh yeah, running latest LOS.

Settings I was using
Mode : Pixel XL(corr)
HDR+ : Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto
ROM : OmniROM
This was working fine for about 10-20 photos in 2-3 days. Until one day(yesterday) suddenly while taking a photo it crashed the app after clicking the image (image wasn't saved). And it kept doing it even after relaunching the app. Odd thing was the same thing kept happening on all camera apps. A reboot fixed it for other camera apps but didn't fix it for this app.

After the above happened I cleared the settings before uninstalling and reinstalled this app and used the settings you suggested. Now it doesn't crash but it won't finish the Processing HDR+ thing and never save the image
I have tried changing to various models. I guess I will have to try a few different versions with different settings.
Any suggestion as to how to make the process of finding the right setting & version by trying various versions quick and less time consuming?

Interesting. The crash you described sounds like a hardware or firmware issue. I've not used OmniROM, so I'm not sure what camera APIs they've implemented. I know that there was a period of time when LineageOS had a lot of camera API work done, so that may have affected overall app compatibility. Also, while I hate to suggest this, you might consider doing a factory reset via TWRP, because it sounds like something might have gotten into a bad state since reboots aren't helping.
The best way I've found to play around with the settings isn't particularly great. I pin the app to my home screen for easy access, and do the following:
Launch the Camera app, test it out
Make settings changes
Go back to the main camera screen
Kill the app by hitting the Overview (square) button and swiping it away
Go to step 1
Hope this helps!

I am not sure if its a firmware issue or not because after the reboot other camera apps work properly.
Ha! I guess there is no other good way to test it out.
btw were you able to get burst mode working? I never was able to get it working even when it was working.

I've never seen Burst mode work on the Robin.

I guess for burst mode I will have to go back to my usual camera app.

Anyone got this working on stock?

Nexus 6p would probably be a better choice for the config, it has a 64 bit snapdragon 810. Seems to capture faster than selecting the pixel 2 or nexus 6.
Although I took a comparison HDR shot between open camera (on camera2 API) and this modded camera, open camera had better HDR post processing and didnt take as long to apply the changes. Ill probably keep this modded camera for the panorama though.

The version that Arktronic posted (latest 5.1.016-based mod from B-S-G) works fine for me in stock 7.0 with the settings:
Code:

HDR+ parameters: High
I have not tried to play with any other settings, nor tried it in stock 7.1.1.

After installation, go to settings --> About --> enable 'Enable advanced mode', or you cannot see anything in screen.
Also, you need to set the saturation value manually, or the photo taken will be in low saturation level. Steps: Settings --> ···HDR+ Control --> Saturation adjustments. Set the 'Hightlight Saturation' to 2.0 and 'Shadow Saturation' to 2.2 (This value can be set again according to your own preference).
Then you can use it normally. Hope this helps.

i used this apk suggested by you for quite sometime, but i found it to be color inaccurate, it recognizes pink color as red. let me know if you have the same issue.
anyway the one by the sain1ty is working great for me. colors are represented accurately and night node is also improved a bit.
here's a link to the apk i've tried,

after installing go to settings>F1 mod settings>enable "AI awb in hdr+ enhanced".
you can leave the saturation settings as it is.

Yeah you can configure really a lot of stuff, though I didn't test the raw mode.
But I created a config with some moderate changes to image quality and general configuration for the different lenses of the device since the provided ones didn't work properly for me.
Could share, if you like.

Sure, many thx! I'll try to dig in the raw story, because this sensor definitely has more potential then the 8bit jpegs.

Here it is!
A few notes: The most relevant options I changed are in Settings -> Modules.
For the lenses to properly work I had to set the option "Session of photo modes" for each lens to 61448 OR 61444 (both work).
You can tune every lens individually there, which is a pretty nice option to have. Most changes are really subtle. I spent a lot of time with the night mode and the HDR/Image Processing settings. Its really just a base config on which you can build up.
Easiest way imho is to only change one option at a time and take test photos. You really can get lost in there but I rather enjoyed it!
Enjoy!

You're footer mentions Xiaomi Mi 9, but since you are asking here I am assuming you are using an A52s?
MGC 8.4 is not so interesting because it lacks many image quality features that the 8.1 series has. So MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix is the way to go with MGC.
For the A52s viewfinder freezing is a known issue that you have to work around. And in later 8.1 series they slightly changed the way it is fixed, which means older config files don't apply the fix correctly.
I think the config file shared in this thread earlier was very similar to the common luke config file, so I attached a version of the luke config file that also fixed the freeze on the GV1zfix version. You can load it by double tapping next to the shutterbutton (or from Settings|Configs|Load in the app).
(and there is endlessly more discussion about gcam on A52s in this thread).

Thread closed. Please continue your discussion here.
