Note 8 Pixel 2 Camera APK Portrait Mode?

Anyone got the Pixel 2 Camera APK working on a Note 8 with Oreo 8.0? I am on SnapDragon.
Let me know if so...and what APK worked for you. I would love to test our a working portrait front camera like the Pixel 2. I have tested some others on the forum but nothing has worked correctly for the Note 8 yet.
Thanks!

I'd like to follow along. Once I tried the selfie portrait mode on the Pixel 2 demo, I fell in love with the camera. It has to be very possible to work on other devices, especially the Note 8!

Try this one:

Thank you all I will try it!

Dang it. It installs just fine...but it doesn't blur pictures on the front or back camera. THANKS anyway.

Literally that link posted with the Google camera app works! I can see it isn't totally perfect since it blurs the strands of my hair on the top of my head, but it's still a great one!

Oneplus 6 Camera port to Oneplus 5T??

Hi all,
Wanted to know if there is any chance of the oneplus 6 camera app being ported to oneplus 5t AND if it will produce any better photos than what we are currently getting on the oneplus 5t.
A part of me hopes that oneplus is just waiting for enough oneplus 6 units to be sold before sending out an update for oneplus 5t that will give us the same processing software and power as the oneplus 6.
Thoughts and opinions on the above are welcome from all, especially the developers who have made this website the awesome place it is today for all mods and apps.
rgds,

Gcam on the 5t takes way better photos than the 6 ?*?

Does it actually though? I've compared pictures and I'm seeing gcam has a bit better overall color from the HDR processing but there is quite a bit of graininess in mid-low lighting settings. OOS cam definitely still does have oil painting effect but it's a lot less pronounced in the latest builds than it was on release, and photos in mid-low lighting are not near as grainy as gcam photos.
Care to change my mind and share your gcam setup/5t fixes you used?

Use the latest apk 7.9.5 and the fixes. Do some research in the unified thread. When hdr enchnaced is on. Longer shutter time. The photos are incredible. Hdr on doesnt do much atm (it used to but thungs are getting fixed atm)
Just dont touch to focus in hdr enhnaced. ( you need root tho. )

please remove

Not rooted yet so haven't tried out GCam. Since i have an extended warranty and damage protection, etc... I have not rooted and frankly ..this is the first android phone where i don't feel the need to root as such. I am more inclined towards an unrooted port of the oneplus 6 camera or maybe an official update... hope it happens sooner or later.

How can it be that you do not see the need for root when you have what you are looking for with root and Gcam? There is no logic in your thinking ... One plus will not give you anything, the Indian continues

the google camera port with latest fix is not compairable to oneplus 6's software or oneplus's software in a decades

A question. I have the version 7.8 of the Arnova Pixel 2 with the libraries in Magisk V1 because with the V2 and the last Gcam I lost the facial unlocking. Is this already fixed? If it is fixed which version should I install and what mod of Magisk with the libraries without losing the facial unlocking?
Regards

Thank you very much mate. It is amazing this camera so good.
I just took some pictures and have improved more to the 7.8
Can we say that it is better than the native of OP6? I believe that yes hahaha.

of course it is there is no much of improvements in the op6 over op5t
the slightly big improvement is in low light only but still the op6's camera is far from google pixel ,apple and samsung
we get pixel quality photos with this mod so we have a top tier camera flagship degree

We probably take better pictures than the pixel xl 2 because we have a wider f1.7 lens lol

I would love to root it but it is under warranty and apart from the camera, i don't see the need to root it for anything else.
Believe me, this is the first phone i am using where my fingers are not itching to root it straight out of the box.

I'm still curious about the OP's question. Would an OP6 camera port to our phone make a difference?

What are the best settings in the latest version of GCam? (HDR, ISO......)

trade for a pixel 2xl

Been offered a straight swap for a pixel 2 XL should I do it

If you value taking photos over having a headphone jack, then yes.

yes do it or give me the offer, I will swap it

Cheers guys camera is my number 1 priority,
To be fair though I've take some amazing photos and video with the 5t

google camera has been fully ported so no need to get the pixel

Its worth several hundred dollars more. So even if you prefer your OP5T I'd trade it, sell the Pixel 2xl, buy another 5T and keep the change.

The 2 XL's camera is still superior to the 5T in every way, regardless of any mod available. Now the screen is much lower quality, although it has gotten a little better since the launch units.

Well, with latest magisk fix and dotfix GCam quality is reduced. Thats the fact. Gcam is not 100% perfect in 5T now. Since OP ****ed up their Camera hals we can't enjoy better quality.. Simply compare Mi A1 Gcam port vs 5T Gcam port with fix. U will be surprised....

I tried the gcam port last night and the noise was horrendous for low light, the oos camera was much nicer

ready to swap here.!

Bro. I am talking about general photography. Selfie and Portiait are perfect in Gcam. Other types of photos are not perfect like Mi A1 Gcam. As u know, our Camera HAL implementation is bad. One Plus ****ed it.. With dot fix the quality of the output decreased... Selfie and Portait shots are fine.. And yea i am always using latest

It's better. Really loves GCam. Hope will get a complete fix soon...

Well I will be doing the trade tomorrow ,
And will keep you guys updated on initial impressions
I use the camera alot taking mainly family photos

Got the pixel 2 xl
Similar in size to the 5t
First impressions aren't great to be fair
The screen OMG very bad 5t blows it away with colour
Very washed out even on saturated mode.
Camera is okay been very dull day here in the UK.
So far on par with 5t
And I think positive is better on 5t.
Pretty disappointed at the minute
Honest opinion

Glad ..8f anyone else in ur place
Would hav said that pixel xl is better then 5t just for their mind satisfaction ..
Also camera is ..okay ..u said really ? Coz i have been listening lot about pixel ..

A lot is said about the pixel but the photos I've took today of my son , are about equal,
The 5t video at 1080p is fantastic.
I will have a better look when we get better weather.
Maybe it's a placebo with the screen being so lackluster
Blue shift also exists

I might be swapping this pixel back for a 5t soon hahahaha

[GCam] Working Port 7.4

Got my hands on this nice phone about a month ago and so far I'm more than satisfied, but I was definitely missing good ol' Google Cam.
Since nobody pointed it out yet, here goes - Moto G 5G Plus owners are in luck. Arnova's port is working flawlessly on this phone.
I'm using build 5.1beta1.200620.1924build-7.4.104 and so far, so good.
DOWNLOAD
Everything seems to be in working order - didn't even need the "canonical" post-installation reboot - and in three weeks it only occurred to me twice that I had to reboot the phone because it stopped saving pics. And in both cases I had been using both this and the Moto camera app together, so there's that.
Quality feels good - very similar to Moto's own camera but with less compressed and with more intense colors. Calculation of ISO is where I could really see the difference - GCam is noticeably more precise at this time.
As you may guess, it does not support macro mode. Personally, I just switch between the camera apps when I need to/feel like it.
Haven't tried the most recent beta from Arnova yet, will update the thread if I do.

Nikita's 7.4 port also seems to work reasonably well - even down to being able to add and use the auxillary cameras (all bar the depth camera take photos)

Any recomendations for configs ?

I've installed Nikita's 7.4 port, does anyone have a recommend config? Either the XML or just some idea's on things to tweak? The difference between the Motorola camera app and Gcam on my old Moto G8 Plus was very obvious, but the difference (IMHO) is less pronounced on the Moto G 5G Plus but I suspect I need to change a few settings first to get the best out of GCam.

Thank you! I had to join Telegram to get the XML file but it's made quite a big difference.

Which version of Nikita do you or should I use?
There's a two different versions;
NGCam_7.4.104-v1.9_eng.apk (com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng)
NGCam_7.4.104-v1.9_snap.apk (org.codeaurora.snapcam)
And a newer version v2.0
NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0
Do I need root access?

Don't know for sure, but it most likely will. This port version works on a number of phones, and AFAIK there are not many differences in this regard between the Plus' and non-Plus' hardware and drivers.
Give it a try and remember to reboot the phone afterwards. Clean up app data if you installed a previous version.

what about version:
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk​
I installed it a few days ago and it seems to be working well so far.

Question how is the camera quality ?

does Asus rog 6 pro compete with the s22 ultra or iphone 13 pro max ?

Nowhere near.
It's definitely a league below, particularly in low light & video quality. A solid B- compared to the A-listers.
It's okay to good, for general social media requirements/ daytime photography.

I looked a lot of review, the right hardware is there, the main problem is the camera software i will try with gcam apk and/or with some other camera application from Google store. Cameras software is the only weak point of this phone

Nope. You don't buy ROG devices if camera quality is a big thing for you. It does the job - that's it.

Try this gcam from BSG and my config file. Tell me what you think. Cheers.

as mentioned by some, the hardware is there but software is bad, even with gcam the results are poor due to bad API implementation.

6D ultimate here - inconsistent performance. sometimes it can be ok, sometimes it's crap.
imprecise blurring for portraits
lacks detail
inconsistent exposure
generally favours day light, and poor with low light

Snapdragon even worse. Suffers from the exact same issues, however its just worse. It's generally accepted that the camera software is beta at best.

I'd love to see a full proper gcam port done for this phone

This whole phone is obsolete at its price. Everyone knew SD8 Gen 2 is coming shortly after the ROG 6, now it is here and every new phone out there will now smash this gaming phone AND offer a twice as good camera performance at a lower price.

Thanks a lot for sharing these files.
Does the GCam package automatically replace the standard camera app?
Do you like the improvements?
As others, I believe the hardware itself should be just fine (not sure about the lenses, though) but the software is letting the phone down regarding IQ out of the box.

Hi, it does not replace the stock app, it is just another app like any other app. And yes, the improvements are there, for sure. Try it !
