I've used some version of GCAM for a while now i found worked with all three cameras decently enough but i got to it trough trial and error and now that i am flashing a newer ROM i would like to upgrade GCAM too anyways.
So what do you guys use and/or recommend?
It doesnt have to be GCAM specifically but its the only one i found to have enough features while remaining simple.
I would have loved to use Simple Camera or the GrapheneOS Camera but i paid for all three cameras imma use all three lol.
I think I could also configure any GCAM version to work with this phone but i am not sure its possible or how to.
Love yall
Here is GCam thread for this phone.
GCam for the Moto G30
Google Camera Port Moto G30 A thread to discuss the Google Camera port on this device (Moto G30). According to reports on Telegram and Reddit, GCam 7 from Wichaya and Nikita works (any apk should work): -...

Hi, my Redmi Note 5 is arriving and I want to know if I install Ressurrection Remix OS the Gcam app will have the same image quality as if I install it on Miui?
In my opinion it's even better, since you can adjust a lot in the modified versions of the gcam (look out of Arnova and saneklic.)
You can bump up the image quality by quite a bit (also in low light conditions, images can get better). Additionally you have some nice mods (like photosphere, different modis of panorama) which the others don't have. In my opinion the mi camera performs as good or worse than the gcam.
The portrait effect with the blured background can be achieved perfectly by 1 lens again, so no need to use the mi camera for that effect (since lineage snap & gcam use 1 lense only). So there is no need to use miui camera for that one.
Don't forget to activate camera2api (persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1) in the build.prop and you are good2go I hope it helped!
Edit: if you want to use the miui camera anyway, there is a thread where you can flash the .zip file and have it anyway!
I think he means that he would like to know if the gcam performs the same on Miui as on aosp Rom. In the end, is the gcam so good on Miui as the same gcam app on aosp?
Personally I think yes, because they both used camera2api, but I didn't test it.
While looking for a nice Google Cam port for this handset, the XDA Portal Google Cam Hub mentioned Arnova's port. I've also seen that there is a fix for our device so that the port works properly, and that it needs root or TWRP to be installed. Without root and with the stock recovery, I proceeded to install the GCam port and used it for a couple of days, comparing its pics with others from the stock camera app. I have a couple of questions:
I've noticed no difference in quality. Do I need to adjust something in the settings of the ported APK other than to prevent the camera from taking purple photos? Maybe I'm doing something wrong and the quality could be better, maybe on the OP5T there isn't a big difference in camera quality between stock and GCam, and I just don't know it.
Is the fix needed if I'm just going to use the ported APK to take still pictures with the rear camera? I've read that the fix just deals with recording video and with the front camera.
Thank you beforehand. Probably there are details that I failed to read when I was searching for the port, but with this GCam thing being so decentralized it's a mess.
The image quality es better, less postprocessing and HDR+ it's just fantastic and GCam always perfect White Balance
I found that some versions of Arnova has that purple thing, just try diferents versions and stick to the best one (it depends if your ROM has the libs like Omnirom Treskmod)
Just try diferent Arnova versions : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Cheers
Kindly provide link of gcam which works.
It'd be awesome if aux cam also works without root etc
Hi, I have the x51 5G which is the same phone but for the european market, and the latest Arnova stable works perfectly, albeit just the main cam.
Latest BSG works fine also, but since there is no libpatcher available in the mod, the picture quality isn't any better than stock, and I would say it is less detailed.
Arnova mod is tweakable to your liking, and is very good once tuned right.
No luck yet at getting the other lenses to work...

Hey mate, could you post Camera2 API results from "Camera2 API Probe" app from the Play Store? It should provide some information about the camera2 API capabilities, and let us know if auxiliary lenses are "blocked" from being accessed by GCam ports. A screenshot would be perfect. Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone,
So I actually decided to buy this phone (European X51 5G) and only the main & front camera seem to work in GCam ports. Portrait lens, periscope, wide angle - they don't work. They're not even showing up in the camera2 API probe. Main camera and selfie camera are both level_3.
I'm currently on the latest Funtouch version which is PD2005F_EX_A_36.7.11 (Android 11). The GCam ports that I've tried and can confirm work well are:
trCamera (Xmas release) : LINK
Nikita NGcam 7.4.104-v2.0 : LINK
The only issue I've been facing is with trCamera, when enabling focus tracking, the app just crashes. Other than that, these two GCam ports work very well and are highly customizable.
im not sure what for do u need google camera. Stock camera app does really great pictures and have most gcam feautures

Because the built in app doesn't always use 5x optical zoom. If it gets bit dark it switchs to digital 5x

Hey mate, since a recent update, I'm now able to use AUX lenses in GCam. Weird if VIVO intentionally enabled this, but it's very nice nonetheless.
I'm on Funtouch 11 Global (build PD2005F_EX_A_36.8.3)
You have the X50 Pro so not exactly the same firmware, but it's worth a try to update your phone to the latest version, and see if it works or not.
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0m (celsoazevedo.com)I'm currently using this GCam port

Yes, the Snap one.
Well that's unfortunate. Vivo must have enabled the aux lenses for the X51 5G only...

Post title.
I've had this phone for nearly a year at this point, and the main reason I got it was on my OP7P, all the nice custom roms I could try out. However, the difference between there and here is that custom ROMs on that phone had OOS Cam, they also had the ability to dualboot.
I've avoided being on a custom rom this entire time is because I don't want to give up OOS Cam, but what do you guys feel about the lack of it? I know GCam exists but you can't use 4K120/60 video recording with GCam as far as I know. Has there been any changes to the app to allow for that?
I think that more and more people are asking for it to be integrated in custom ROMs. The thing is that on the opposite of the OnePlus 7 OOS cam app, the OnePlus 9 Pro's is heavily tied to OPPO's ColorOS Camera. And from what I understood, ColorOS has been a pain to deal with for developers, as OPPO isn't as community orentied as OnePlus.
That's one of the things stopping me from switching to a custom ROM. When I've tried GCam on OOS, none of the ports are stable enough. I'm not a huge camera user, but if my camera could crash when I WANT to use it, that would piss me off.
I found somewhere in this forum port of OOS cam, photos and videos working, some features missing tho, lucky I don't use them
So, custom ROM can live with OOS cam

That camera is from OP7 AFAIk, and it's next to useless. photo processing is broken, and video fails at 60fps, so people may as well use Gcam since it's does a far better job than that broken port.
Since the OP5T is no longer supported, I started looking at ROMs.
I've never cared to use ROMs, because none of them in the past, ever had a camera app that could equal the OnePlus camera on this phone.
But, have times changed, and now there are some camera apps just as good?
At the moment I'm using e/ and it uses the Open Camera, I don't find this to be a good replacement at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, to figure out what's the best camera app for this phone.
It's always been my understanding Arnova8G2 is the best.
So I've been thinking to use 'Gcam-8.1.101.build-V6.2.211013.2305_Snap', any thoughts on this version?'

I thought I had to download the apk; Gcam-8.1.101.build-V6.2.211013
Does anyone also know if this OnePlus 5/5T Front Camera Fix is still relevant to use in any of the Developer's GCam apps? When I tried it with Nikita's GCam the phone Settings would no longer open and crash... hmm :/
