Question Gcam horrible portrait shots - Google Pixel 6 Pro

Earlier gcam used to click good portraits, but now the portrait mode of the gcam has become so useless that the portrait mode of the stock camera looks good next to it.
If anyone has solution for this please let me know.

1. Sending email to Google Camera Team and push them to improve it;
2. Trying to install Gcam Mod and tune by yourself.

The "stock camera" **IS** "gcam", so this makes no sense.

LSC (Lenovo Super Camera)

I found it on 4pda but i think developer was from this forum.
I dont take any credit, i didnt port this camera nor was in the process in any way...
Dont ask me for porting something else etc...
This is flashable zip, go in TWRP and flash, reboot, voila
This camera is by my opinion one of the best for custom roms, based on Nougat.
Snapdragon stock camera records dark videos and panoramas so this is good alternative...
For OREO i advise to use OnePlus camera because of API2.
Im on AEX 4.4 rom 24.07 build, using Heliox kernel 15.10 build, flashed camera blobs extracted from stock nougat.

Doesnt work:
Panorama mode
Panorama selfie
and some other options which are specific to Lenovo phones.
PRO mode is working, you can set manualy some parameters, really nice options...
This is a comparison of OnePlus 2.5.12 camera and this LCS camera:
Tested during night:
Video recording is better with LSC camera, in low light. Also Lenovo camera has option to take pictures during recording. Zoom is faster with LSC when recording.
For pictures I give advance to OnePlus camera, faster autofocus, also it has feature to brighten the image, like iPhone.
But I think picture details are better with LSC. When you zoom you can see the difference. Also double the size of pictures for LSC. But focus with LSC can sometimes be missed. For focus advantage goes to OnePlus.
Selfie definitely better with LSC, with OnePlus pictures are yellowish.
Tested during daylight:
Video autofocus is much quicker and less noticeable in LCS camera, OnePlus zooms like its taking a picture and defocused period is much longer than on LCS.
Pictures have warmer colors with LCS, and more details, but OnePlus is definitely winner for autofocus and sharpness of an image... You can achieve that with LCS but you have to get used to it and see when focus is not right and manually tap for focus. Or move away the phone to let it zoom again and take another picture. LCS focus is not bad at all but Oneplus camera is much faster and more accurate.
Here is also latest gcam that works without API 2
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...06-126161292-2-android-apk-download/download/
I think is creates the best panoramas. Needs more testing...
Today i saw it creates dark images in low light but panorama stays light.
This app is only for PANORAMA mode.
Thanks for sharing mate.
Currently I'm using this and the Camera from OP5. Both seems to be the best alternative cameras for the Custom ROMs

Absolutely. They have their cons and pros but combined makes camera perfect . Only slow motion doesnt work good with any camera... But i can live without it.
Oreo ZUI is out for our phone btw, i hope camera on custom OREO roms will get even better and that zui developers enabled api2 finally....
HDR+ google camera makes really nice photos...
Bad news, looks like ZUI devs didn't enabled API2 even in OREO rom...
I asked few guys which installed the rom, HDR+ cannot be found. But they say camera is much improved...
Is there an .apk version?

[Request] Port Oxygen OS Camera from 5T for Custom ROM

Just a humble request to all who have knowledge to port apps.
Please port the oxygen os camera from OnePlus 5T for Custom ROMs.
The already ported camera is not working in 5T due to differences in camera lenses.
I know many of you will saying use Google Camera it is better than the Oxygen OS, so i agree with you but none of the google cam is also working fine in 5T.
Some google cam has pinkish images, some has broken front cam, some has black screen on front cam, some doesn't has HDRa in rear and front and some has camera crash ui error so, some doesn't have touch to focus ability.
I saw in Oneplus 5 forum, the ported camera is working fine with Portrait mode even front camera is also working. But that camera is not working in OP5T.
You again requesting here to port Oxygen OS camera from OnePlus5T for custom ROMs.
Note: Please do not compare google camera with Oxygen OS as you already know google cam is not stable enough in OP5T.
Just hoping for the best.
Thanks.
I'd like that as well ! The only reason why I'm keeping OOS is because of the camera (and the portrait mode that I use a lot) but as soon as it's ported I'll change
I also want this port. Hope some dev soon port this.

Yeah with the OnePlus 5T. It was working fine on the 1st day but was severely crashing on the next. I take back my recommendation on this. Sorry. I believe there was no portrait mode.

U can get portrait mode on the 5T with Google mod camera. I've used it on at least 4 ROMs and it worked flawlessly and also has front facing portrait which OnePlus cam does not have. I had HDR, HDR+, front and rear portrait, burst, lens blur, everything. Read up a little about the gcam mod and get it working. It's well worth it and portrait mode works great.

Alright so this is by my far my favorite one and the Urikill versions have been for awhile. Now, others work, u just have to play with settings. First off, you have to flash this for front camera portrait mode fix and HDR in front can to get It working. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...sk-front-camera-fix-oreo-4MP-op5-5t-v1.1.zip. There's other methods to besides this zip but this is the easiest way for me. Second, here is the camera I use, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.1.018_Urikill_vXXII.apk. I will attach some screenshots of my settings, but again most of these can be tweaked and changed to your liking. I have HDR working for front cam in portrait mode. Regular front cam doesn't work, but you don't need it because portrait mode front cam takes the blur photo and regular, both HDR. Also, I have HDR working on regular can as well. Regular HDR and HDR+ enhanced if needed.
I stress again, that many of the camera apks work, this is just my favorite and right for me. I also stress again that many of the settings can be tweaked and changed to your liking. If it breaks something, switch it back. You have to play, and play, and play. I did for a long time until I found the perfect setup for me and all things working. Anything there is not a screenshot of is default. Hope you get it working. If you have trouble or questions the original Google cam mod thread, and there is also one specifically for the 5T has a lot of answers and help, that's where I got it. Also this page, has all the info u need off the most part, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk195. This is probably the most help I can offer, lol.

So, here is the conclusion... Front cam not working ... The only way to work with front cam is portrait mode... And that's the thing I don't want.
Thank you for posting your comment and you proved it us right as Google cam never be compare with Oxygen OS camera untill google cam get fix.

Update.from 8.8.30 till 8.9.3 Miui version gcam didnt have "washed out" colors.unfortunately from 8.9.4 they return....but thanks to NatronCH and extremegreat we got the solution from version 8.9.4 and after. flash this fix for washed out colors
https://www.filedropper.com/polarisfixgcamcolors theres also a magisk module for color fix also. https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4591757&d=1536468359. BEST WORKING NEW VERSION. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.3.015_MI8_V1a.apk
I have tried several on MIUI China Dev rom. Whenever you activate any of the HDR functions, the camera starts to lag significantly and it is not possible to take any pictures. I think that someone reported it working on the P preview rom though.
Edit: I have just tried some latest version of Arnvoa Gcam port and portrait mode works perfectly.
Although the HDR effect does not apply, the portrait mode works for both front and back camera.
The only problem is a blue-ish tint on the front camera. But it works!

Nice to hear this. Does HDR+ works on both Rear and front camera?
Does the front camera go up side down?
HDR+ works on both front and rear cameras. Front camera does not go up side down.
The versions mentioned are not working with hdr+ mode. When you shot and try to see the photo is missing the "hdr proccesing" msg. Any other version i tryied its just lagging the camera when try to setup (ie nexus 6 or pixel2)...

Not work hdr+ on mix 2s( checked for MIUI and Android p. Two options: the photo is taken without HDR+ or the camera application is closed
Xiaomi Mix 2S IMX363 sensor have very similar spec comparing to Google Pixel 2. I think if the Google Camera Mod is fixed, it would give the very close result of what Pixel 2 get. Just like the Mi 5s got the same sensor as Pixel 1.
I tried most versions with my Mix 2s on Global ROM 9.5.18.0 and when I try to use portrait mode it freezes and stops working. The portrait mode on the default cam app sucks hard!

I agree, it is REALLY bad. The camera overall can take pretty good pictures but the portrait mode shots look terrible when the subject is a person. There's a ton of detail lost and their faces look washed out and smoothed out somehow.
Someone can post me a link to download the miui camera app?
I've the dp2 ROM and I've forgot to backup it
(You can simply use amaze file manager and go in the app manager menu to backup it)

I agree. The stock camera uses the tele photo lens above the standard lens to make portrait mode pictures. I've only found great/acceptable results taken portrait mode fotos in broad daylight. Anything taken in doors are useless. Shame, as the standard sensor is so much better and comparable to the pixel phones in terms of capabilities.
Hungry for Gcam port to 2s that works as good as they do on the Mix 2.

Did anybody try this? Are the photos as good as Pixel 3 especially portraits?
Thanks OP. It works great. No crash yet. The rear and front cam portrait work good and way faster compare to gcam mods on my old S8+.
The night option shows a bank screen.
I tried as well. The regular HDR+ shots handle light sources much better than the current 6T stock hdr. Taking a picture of a dark room with a television with text (high contrast) but putting the focus point below on a dark object, 6T stock cam blows out the picture onscreen, where as pixel cam port keeps the text legible. I have the same issue as well, with Nightsight on the port just rendering a black screen in the viewfinder and locking the app. Great first start though, massive potential here, maybe oneplus dev's could decompile and take a few pointers

And use AR CORE application? I want to buy this phone but I will wait until camera performance will be equal to pixel (I can't root my device because of bank application and other app that does not work with root or unlocked bootloader)
Can also someone provide information about API camera level support ? is Level 3 or just Full ?

How long does it take to snap a shot in HDR+ Enhanced on the OP6t? I had the gcam port on my OP5, and that phone always took a good 3 seconds to actually take the picture once I tapped on the shutter button.

Less than a second.
This app shows that the camera hardware OnePlus is using is way better than the stock camera app software is letting it be.
The camera on the OnePlus could be great with better stock software.

That's awesome, thank you! Do you still have to manually change all of the settings in the Gcam port, or is it good to go as soon as you install it with the exception of enabling manual HDR?

Well ar stickers works just fine
However I am not able to use Marvel stickers and playground 2.0
Pretty cool to use once installed. The selfie camera in regular and portrait mode is 10x better. Still use nightmode on my stock 6T camera of course and the regular camera on the back is much better through this pixel app.
Few things though: The camera will take a photo and sometimes crash when you go to look at the image and the photo doesn't save. No biggie because this is happening to Pixel 3 users lol. The other things is, I don't know if any of you have taken time to notice, but the portrait mode on the back camera doesn't work from what I can tell and a few of my friends with extensive photography knowledge said they felt the same way when examining this. We took multiple photos with the regular back camera and the portrait mode back camera and the focus was the exact same, but because it's focus on the object is so strong it might appear like it's blurring out the background. Also, not sure if this proves my point, but these cameras will save both the regular photo and the portrait mode photo to give you the options which only happens when I take a selfie in portrait mode, but not on the back camera in portrait mode. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Thanks for the hard work guys, this is still great!

I wonder if I could pull what is needed to make Marvel stickers and playground work off my Pixel 3 XL?

I just tried the back portrait mode and it definitely saved the original and the portrait mode.
Edit: it works on people, but it doesn't seem to be working on objects. My Pixel 3 LX does portrait mode on both people and objects. For some reason the port on the OnePlus 6t is only working on people for portrait mode.

Do you see a big difference between the pixel 3 and the 6t gcam in hdr+ mode?
Thanks in advance!

Here are three different photos, first one taken on my Pixel 3 XL, second one taken on my OnePlus 6T with the Pixel camera port, third one taken on my OnePlus 6T with the stock camera app.
To large to add all three to one post so here are the Pixel 3 XL and OnePlus 6T using the Pixel camera app. I'll add the photo taken with the stock Oneplus camera app in the next post.

Best GCam (6.2.030) for Android Pie (July updates) with fixed FOCUS and Night Sight

Google Camera (GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.1) tested on Android Pie (July updates) with perfect focus for Xiaomi MI A2 Lite.
Bugs found so far:
- Don't disable HDR, because photos will be in lower resolution than 12 MP (for main camera).
- You need to disable HDR for front (selfie) camera
- Photos taken in Portrait and Night Sight mode in front (selfie) camera won't be saved.
- Photobooth.

For Mi A2 Lite I found that the front camera won't save photos in portrait and night sight mode. Everything else is working including touch to focus which is really good.

Even if I do this, in Portrait and Night Sight, it won't work. But It works well in the "camera" mode.
Nope, tap to focus doesn't work for me. Stock pie.
can someone confirm that the autofocus is working with this gcam on the a2 lite with stock pie?
works on device without root? I installed it but it closes every time I open it
Tanks

Sorry bro. I'm using the XDA app from play store, so I didn't see your fully comment.
Tutorial how to install:

Gcam 6.2.30 on S10 plus looks fine in viewfinder but after processing there's a green yellow tint to final images, tried all manner of settings, stock app is sharper and more natural on this Snapdragon variant I have.
