Has anyone tried the new Pixel 2 modded camera app on the V20? It looks AWESOME! Auto mode is much better now and the photos look much better thanks to the post processing effects. It works great on the V20 however there is no manual mode or wide angle. I also noticed there's less of a lag when taking photos compared to the stock camera app. This could be a game changer... someone should do a comparison video with the V20 + Google Pixel 2 camera app versus a 2017/2018 flagship.
Here's the link (the only version that actually works for the V20):

Thanks to XDA developer B-S-G for the app!
There's already a discussion about this here,

It does work,,, crashes sometimes when rendering or wjen you accidentally rotate the screen... But the BSG versions work just fine... Only time it crashed on me was when rendering Burst photos
Which apk are you referring to? I have the H990ds maybe this is also a reason.

Portrait only works if you have a human face on the frame... It wont work on inanimate objects
Both BSG and Arnova apks, only Arnova has a higher likelihood of crashing than BSG in my experience
And my phone is also H990DS
Heres a photo i took, it saves both original and portrait mode
Yup, I've tried both, BSG's and Arnova's version, Arnova's crashes all the time, BSG's works fine, and takes same AMAZING portrait photos!

What settings do you guys use? Mine seems to be failing to take HDR+ pictures with pretty much any settings i set... Especially with the recommended ones from the thread

In the app settings, you have to set the 'Config camera' to something other than 'No HDR+' and adjust the other settings too (but I can't seem to get the mix right with BSG). After you do that and force close the app, you should see when you open the app, at the top of the screen, a new button 'HDR+' set from auto to on and you're good to go, if you got the settings right. It's really a life changer, takes pictures so much better than the stock camera app, but you don't have the manual controls.
I seem to have gotten right a 'recipe' with Pixel 2XL, but I wanna try to get it right with N6P to compare it with the older version of Arnova's which works wonderfully.

What you're talking about is Arnova's version, I'm using BSG's.
There's no setting for config camera, only for model.
And there is hdr+ control when you're shooting (on/off/auto).

Since there is no such thread here yet, I wanted to start discussion about using modded Google Camera from this thread on Nokia 8 (mostly what's best configuration and version).
What doesn't work:
- Slow Motion in 6.1.x
- HDR+ in 6.1.x when number of shots is set higher than 20
What works:
- HDR+ (including auto HDR with ZSL on both front and rear cameras)
- Night Sight (only on 6.1.x ports and higher)
- Portrait mode on both front and rear cameras (replaces lens blur mode from older versions of Google Camera)
- Motion Pictures (only on Oreo and higher and only with rear camera set to 16:9 ratio and flash disabled)
- Slow Motion video recording (only on 5.x GCam, broken again on 6.1.x ports)
- Spherical photos
- Panorama
AR Playground (only with 6.1.x ports, you must also install ARCore first)
Recommended for Pie (based on GCam 6.1.x): MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun.apk
Recommended for Oreo (based on GCam 5.x): GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.apk

I just downloaded the version on Apotide and I don't really see anything outstanding from the first look.
What are the main benefits of Google Camera vs stock Nokia?
Should I download a different version of Google Camera from somewhere?
Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk
Main benefit is better HDR algorithm and thus better photos in low light conditions. I also think that auto focus in Google Camera works better (it's easier to get focus on the point you want and it stays there until you take a photo) or something else that makes photos from Google Camera less blurry than ones from Nokia Camera.
As for the versions - since they are mostly made for OnePlus, some version work better, some worse with other smartphones as they contain modifications for specific models.
I really miss the HDR from Nokia / Microsoft Lumia.. The pictures were always amazing compared to my wife's iPhone.
Will give Google camera a proper test and see how it goes.
Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk
I finally got Oreo update and those colorful lines (artifacts) are gone, so it seems to be a bug on Nougat only.
Yes I noticed the colour artifacts are gone too. I have the BSC and Arnova apps both installed. I use the BSC app with high parameters for still or more detailed shots and the Arnova is my quicklaunch camera, set to 8mp with Motion Photos enabled and HDR parameters set to default. I also turn camera.faces and camera.shot_tracking on in developer settings.

HDR with the Google Camera app can yield spectacular results. A relative was out with me at a Christmas fayre yesterday evening and we both took a photo of a nice tree - him on his Samsung S8+ and me on my Nokia 8. Mine looked *loads* better.

Pixels don't have a card slot, which is why the app has no option written into it to save to SD card.
Ah good point.
This is frustrating for me but I will test the app a bit more to see if the image quality makes up for this.

You do have 64GB or 128GB internal to play with, so at the very least you could just occasionally open Google's FilesGo app and tick the 'move to SD' option, or use Google Photos' delete from device option if you're happy to have them in the cloud.
Since installing the G camera apk both stock and G camera are taking too long to open and constantly hanging and making the phone unresponsive so I have unistalled it for now.
I'll try one of the other versions later.
Google Camera producing much better detailed photos compared to Nokia camera app. For sure, the images have more noise, less sharpness and bigger filesize. But at least it has more details, more smoothness and less jaggy pixels.
When I need better images, I use my 808PV.
Using GCam 5.1 Arnova v1.0 on Nokia Oreo.
Small comparison I made. There's a big difference in favor of the Google camera.
Been using it from day 1, Back camera indeed captures better photos compared to stock app
For those who wish to be participated in Google camera mod

I've tried many roms with many camera apps but couldn't find one in which, portrait mode, hdr+ and slow motion(however slow motion isn't important for me at all) are working.
The best app that I found was the stock crdroid camera but neither does it have portrait mode plus it's hdr is very slow.
Can someone please provide me the best app that just works and has the features i mentioned above.

I think that your experience with the gcam mods might be determined by the camera sensor on your phone. I have a Samsung sensor, and most of the mods work reasonably well (sometimes you have to tweak the settings). I have stayed with Arnova8G2 v6. It does FC sometimes, but it mostly good. The settings can be tweaked for improvements over default settings ("Auto"), but not all of them work well. If you choose very high resolution HDR settings, the shutter will be very slow - but the picture will be very good. I don't really use the portrait mode, so I can't comment on that. Before Arnova8G2, I used Cstark27 mods - and they were excellent too. But I think Arnova has the edge.
In any case, you can have a look at this repository of gcam mods.

I don't know of a straightforward way of getting that information. You will need to search the forum for that.
The method that I use is not straightforward. It depends on initd functionality, and this is not generally available in ROMs. Basically, I run dmesg from an initd script, and redirect the output to a file. I then parse the file and look for any of these;
1. "ofilm_s5k3l8" (sensor=Samsung)
2. "ofilm_imx258" (sensor=Sony)
3. "qtech_ov13855" (sensor=Omnivision)
You can of course run dmesg at any time from a root terminal. However, you need to capture the output early enough (i.e., during the bootup process) or the values you are looking for would be long gone.
PS: I don't know much about Kernel Adiutor - but it may be that it can help you to run the command to capture the necessary information, even without initd functionality. Maybe someone else can speak to that.

I'm on arnova v6 now and it's perfect. The only problem is that the front camera is mirroring/reversing the pictures I take which is incredibly annoying. Do you guys know of a system-wide or app limited tweak that can disable this? Or perhaps an alternative to this gcam which has that feature but also.has portrait mode and HDR+ working.

In these apps when you take a picture from the front camera, it is saved as mirrored as compared to the camera preview screen when you're positioning tot take the picture (for e.g a face looking at the left comes as right or vice versa). There is an option in the miui camera settings to disable this and also on most other camera apps. I want to disable this here too.

Hi, this phone is pretty interesting but in some reviews all the photos looks like aquarel...
Can you post a pair of photos taken with the original app and the gcam in order to compare ?
Thanks in advance

Like the review of gsmarena, you have better results without HDR mode, also 50 mp mode is useless it justs increase the size of the photo but not its quality and details.
Gcam has a good hdr, also it doesn't apply some sharp effect on night photos. I think they will improve the stock camera in the future like they did for their other phones
These photos are with Gcam astrophotography mode, and it was 3 am, in the dark, the "dawn" effect is caused by the cities around but it was barely noticeable with human eye

Any idea how to get the ultrawide to work with any Gcam version? I checked a few Camera2api apps and the ultrawide is not even exposed to the OS.

Well, using the ultrawide is come kind of zooming. The app definitely uses the second camera then. Just put something in front of the lenses and you'll see.
Did someone tried any gcam version for the zenfone 9? The cameras of this phone are suck, over sharpness, selfie? On paper good selfie sensor but the results are poor
Oversharpening effect on Zenfone 9 is very strong. Every Zenfone 9 user should inform Asus that they aren't happy about it on Asus forums:
ZenFone 9
zentalk.asus.com
If nobody reports anything on their official channels then Asus will think people like it
Try out the latest BSG gcam mod:
BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Working front, rear cameras. Haven't test everything. But so far so good. Wide angle works too. No config applied
The stock camera auto HDR pictures are way to overexposed. This is just an example I took this morning. I prefer the gcam output.
I will post about this in the Asus forum once I have more time.
Cheers

You can try lastest Wichaya's 8.1 v1.6 Gcam:
Wichaya GCam APKs - Google Camera Port

The GCam makes photos look way better - how ever I'm not knowledgeable enough about the configs to know how to fix. The 8.1 Wichaya version seems to work the best. Though video modes still feel sluggish in the viewfinder. A lot of delay from moving the phone.
I also can't select the main 773 sensor in the noise reduction section. It's simply not there as an option.
Oh well. It seems to work otherwise. Slow motion and 50MP RAW has been disabled for now from Wichaya.
This guy evidently got GCAM working and notes improvements over native camera app.
Has anyone how things are with android 13? The Gcam is way better, but cannot be used for all purposes, I wish Asus just fixes the heavy post-processing so I can use the native app which is great by the way.
I just joined Android 13 beta program from my Zenfone 9. No ROM yet, but will let you know when they start rolling out.
I made a config for my Wichaya 8.1 and created noise model with some other adjustment to the settings
Enabled 50MP for video and slow mo only (partially working)
Just my 2 cents for wichaya.
The photo is tricky (but ugly) and the purpose was to demonstrate that the Asus process is not on par with the Gcam for color rendering and HDR.
The reds (box, chair and dress) are much more realistic on the Gcam shot. Same for the woody wall.
And look at the sky....

Did anyone get a gcam with working portrait mode? For me it doesnt apply the blur effect. I have to manually end the blur in Google Photos after

Works for me.
I'm using Wichya's Gcam mod + zenfone8/9 config. You have to take the photo in "Portrait" mode.

I'm a little new to this. How do I apply that config?

GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.6.apk
Wichaya8.1-ZF8-V5.xml
In the app, you Setting -> Advanced -> XML config -> Import XML config (and you import it).
Before it will allow you to import, you also have to give the gcam the "All Files" permission.

Oh I worked out the problem. It only applies portrait mode to photos of people, not to other objects. I remember this was the case with the original Google Pixel 1 that I had.
Is it the same for you?
It doesn't pick up my dog, which is a bummer.

Sadly, I don't have a pet to check
It works on my front and rear camera in vertical or horizontal orientation. It only works this way in "portrait" app setting (so chosen from between Night Sight/Portrait/Camera/Video/more...).
I've provided you the link to the config file too. It's an .XML file in the previous comment.

Yes I got it thank you very much. I have a Pixel 6 too, and the portrait mode on that (and camera in general) is much better so I may just stick with that for now.
@eVen123 the config you link to is the one for Zenfone 8. Am I correct there is no Zenfone 9 config yet?
Is the gimbal stabilisation then used with Gcam?
