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?

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.

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.
Which version of Google Camera are you using? Original or a mod version?

Samsung S8+ on the right, Nokia 8 with Arnova Pixel APK on the left. No modifications.

BSC? Arnova? Never heard of either apps. Unless with BSC you mean B-S-G. Never mind, just didn't look at the OP closely enough.

Is there any way to make Google photos save to SD card?
It's putting everything on internal and I want it in my normal SD card folder.

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

Thank you for your partecipation!!
I've done exactly as you said and I did various test.
With that version you can take a photo with hdr+ selected but it won't be a real hdr+ photo because it doesn't process the 3 photo like in supported phones. It takes a normal photo, a good photo, but not an hdr one because in the settings menu the hdr is disabled.
I've tried really a lot of the Google camera ports and not a single one can take an hdr photo.
The ones that try to take a real hdr photo crash, the ones that have some option that disable the her processing don't (even if it's selected into the camera option).
I really hope that with the Oreo update Samsung will activate the camera 2 api to a "level 3" settings because I don't want to root or unlock the boot loader to force the api activation.
I wish there's some programmer which could make an app to click pics in portrait mode from this phone, Please this phone just lacks that one thing.
hi, i need to ask you a question, a friend have galaxy A8 but can't record 4k videos, with Open Camera (with cameraApi2? it's possible to do it?
FInally I can make portrait photos by using gcam version 8 by mini user
in setting just disable all front cam Hdr+ & portrait mode coz it isn't working on my front cam (hang & push to restart), only working for rear one
in setting also enable fix black level offset (to prevent your portrait photos become red or pink)
below are the link,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
for the sample please look at this link (portrait mode),

I can record 4k (30fps) video with cinema 4k (I downloaded it at play store)
the result you cant play by using samsung video player so you need to download MX player
cinema 4k also doesn't provide to storage your video on sd card,,,,
I ve tried open camera & enable camera 2 APi, but the video resulution is only full HD (1080p)
perhaps this app also work for your A8 2018
With the last minuser version of the port, 8.2, I can too do real hdr+ photos. It elaborates the image after I take It, file dimension is big around 7 mb and quality is good, a lot better than the default camera for the rear cam.
If you disable the front camera hdr fix it disable the hdr in the rear camera too.
I think I'll stick with this version because it's the only one that has real hdr+ working.
the latest version 8.2 of @miniuser123 works fine, but you have to deactivate the flash, otherwise the app crashes and the phone restarts. From the settings you only have to activate fix black level offset to prevent the portrait photos are with a lilac patina. The hdr setting for the front camera leaves it unchanged, otherwise it also acts on the rear camera. So much for the selfie is great for the Samsung app, considering that the Galaxy A8 has 2 front cameras.
With the 8.2 the difference between the stock camera and the gcam is enormous.
It seems as if Samsung limited the quality of the post processing so this phone, even with a good (and advertised 16mb 1.7) rear camera, couldn't even go near the s8 in photo quality. I've compared a lot of photos I took simultaneously with my a8 and the s8+ of a friend of mine.
With the stock camera the s8 wins hands down. If you compare the a8 pics taken with a working hdr+ gcam the gap is a lot smaller. They come close, but the s8 has always the lead.
Anyone has a portrait mode working on rear camera?
Thx

Hopefully some developer make mod for stock camera make it real 16mp result back overall phone is good the real disappointment for me is the rear camera specially in night or low light too blurry to shake
Did anyone managed to get raw file support working with some of these versions ?

So True! The Phone is fantastic but with stock rear camera settings could be better! Fortunately miniuser and his gcamera port fixed it.
He released an 8.3 beta version. Stable on our phone as the 8.2.
does anyone knows how to make the front cam working? pressing the shutter button didn't do a thing.

You need to disable the "hdr+ front camera" setting. But then you won't have hdr+ on the rear camera anymore!

Can confirm that the Arnova8G2 based mods are working on my new Nokia 7 plus.
Yesterday a new version (GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod) was released, with some UI and speed improvements (at higher HDR+ parameter) I noted.
XDA link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76235335&postcount=3541
The Nokia camera app doesn't come even close to the results of the gcam mods.
I noticed often a very high exposure in daylight and much more noisier in low light (agressive ISO ramp up) settings.

Like the Nokia Camera I can only choose between different resolutions of 4K, 1080p, 720p but not the framerate.
I didn't find any setting in the dev options either. Maybe there is a tweak within the gcam mod I'm not aware of, to change the framerate (chipset should support this) but the testvideo I recorded is at 30FPS.

@RolloBollo, Would you mind if you could make some shots at night or in evening, so that we can clearly see the differences between the GCam and Nokia Camera Pro at low light condition?
Is there any reason to believe that the Pixel camera app apk would also bring 4k video stabilization to the table on the Nokia 7 plus in a usefull way? This phones seems to tick every box except that one...
I`ve seen a video of stabilization via the pixel app done on the Xiaomi A1, but the results were merely meh. The nokia however has a more capable snapdragon 660.

Can do, first set is 30min before, 2nd set 25 min after and 3rd set 40min after sunset with slight light from apartment above.
All shots were made free hand in auto mode with HDR forced.
The nokia cam tends to be more inconsistent over follow up shots, the best out of 3 shots were choosen.
Lighting to the real thing is always closest on gcam, but both are overexposing in low light settings, bringing in more light than in reality was.
Can we directly install gcam APK in Nokia 7 plus or we have to enable camera2api to get access of it if so how to enable camera2api

From the set of photos you have taken, It seems for me that there are still have noisees and losing details once you have zoom into the photo. However, it seems to be better than Nokia 8.

I got the same error using the link directly from Google Drive. I downloaded the apk via browser and I installed it just fine.
The Pixel2mod and the Pixel3mod version gave me strange color artefacts in every picture(but not in de live viewfinder). The previous version, named GCam, works however just fine.
There are a few contenders for best smartphone camera of 2017, and many would argue that the Google Pixel 2 & 2 XL were the best mobile shooters. That's thanks in large part to the phone's exceptional combination of camera hardware with Google's prowess in image processing software as seen by their famous HDR+ technology.*
Ports of Google Camera with the HDR+ technology have been shown to dramatically improve the picture quality of budget phones like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and flagship phones like the Essential Phone. The Pixel 2 camera experience is largely an iterative improvement over the first generation Pixel, though it adds some polish with features such as Motion Photos, Face Retouching, and lastly Portrait Mode.{From xda developers}
Both front and back camera portrait mode works.
There are tons of apps out and i'm not the Developer of this app, i just found out this app and which one supports the best on the phone and thought maybe i should share this link*below.*
sometimes the camera app crashes because of incorrect settings so ill put my settings which works for me*best.*
BEST SETTINGS
GO TO CAMERA SETTINGS>>
Tuning back cam>>Pixel XL
Tuning front cam>>Nexus 5X
Back cam photo resolution>>6.0 MP
Front cam photo resolution>>5.0 MP
Advance>>HDR+parameter>>very low
config camera HDR+>>Pixel 2017
Lens blur MP>>12 MP​Using the app in as much lower parameter of settings is always better and your app will work smoothly ( in lower settings)
Download*: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mnMyFHRXhc5eWFrBMtlMyn__YulO20Z6/view?usp=sharing
IMPORTANT: It is important to clear the Ram Before, every time you open the app because the app needs lots of memory
If app crashes then Clear Data Force Stop then open again then Update Settings
OTHER APPS (Root user only): HIGHLY RECOMMEND
*These app force Stop the unwanted background apps which are running in background also clears the phone memory to significant Max limit.
1.Root Booster: "Use In Speed Boost mode" Link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N9tw9wLjeUhBPeFOWPkbZL8d7ehSlI5W/view?usp=drivesdk
2. Speed Up Swap:"Use In Very High" Link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YnJ_Wku5NU2xcqzTihYfGnQuWpi59MH0/view?usp=drivesdk
using this app drastically increased the performance of the Google Camera app
And Also I'm using Noble Nought S8 port 5.1 AlexisXda (This Rom allows to change the screen resolution, i use the app in 1280x720 resolution uses less memory whereas the default s6 resolution is 1440x2560 uses lots of memory)
take that for whatever its worth.
Although i think it should work just fine on any rom because its the hardware which matters

I agree, the default settings are very noisy. Even the stock camera takes much sharper image in low or medium light. Would like to know the best settings for S6.
This camera is from here
Google Camera with working portrait mode V8.2
Here is my version of Google Camera based on BSG's original port. Although I aimed to get it working only on Galaxy S7 Exynos, there are reports that it is working on other devices like S7 Snapdragon, S8, Note 8 etc... Working list on S7...
forum.xda-developers.com
UPDATE: I haven't really followed this thread since I don't have an S10 anymore, however, just a heads up telephoto now works with the Snapdragon S10/Note 10 series and Gcam! Gcam can be downloaded in my S20 thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam-working-with-s20-ultra-telephoto.4200277/
Now with Wide Angle and Telephoto Camera Support!
All credits go to Arnova8G2, CStark, Fizwiz, Xenius9, Urnyx05
Benefits:
Gcam offers less aggressive noise reduction and oversharpening. Under daylight things might not look too different but it's a lot better for low light, especially for finer details like carpets, hair, fabric texture. I've attached some comparison shots. The file names will indicate which camera was used for the pictures.
Regarding 6.1 vs 6.2 vs 7.0 vs 7.2:
6.1 could be more stable and allows you to save profiles that you can swap between (for instance if you have a setting for indoor and outdoor). However 6.2 is faster, possibly better processing algorithms. 7.0 is faster still and even better algorithms. 7.0+ also ads astrophotography option which is night sight but even better! 7.2 works on Android 10 only and should improve upon 7.0.

Did you guys apply the XML file after copying it to where it needs to go? Detailed instructions here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
Followed the instructions and it seems to be working fine so far on my S10, although I haven't done extensive testing.
How do you switch between apertures? It doesn't seem obvious to me.
Any reason this wouldn't also work on a Snapdragon S10+? Thinking about giving it a try now...

Installed and verified basic functionality on my S10+. Took a couple of night sight pictures and they turned out good. Will do some more testing. Thanks for the information.
Update: I'm seeing issues when switching between different modes. For example, the picture freezes whenever I go into portrait mode. Other modes work sometimes, but display a black screen other times. The app doesn't freeze or crash, and if I switch to another mode then switch back, sometimes that resolves it.

To fix portrait mode freezing, go to Settings (top section, mod settings) -> Advanced -> FIX -> Viewfinder Format. Then select YUV-420_888 (default).
Very good. The viewfinder fix seems to have worked for portrait mode, and helped with all other modes as well.
Any other settings changes you would recommend making to optimize performance?
Which photo is from the stock cam vs gcam?
I took a few pics just now outside with default camera and then with Google night sight. Google cam pics definitely a little brighter, and much clearer, with more detail than the default cam. Quite pleased.
Got it to work thank you. Had to restart my phone, now everything works.
Snapdragon?
Yes i have the s10+ with snap

Night sight is phenomenal. To the point where I use it almost exclusively even in daylight on my Pixel 3. Can;t wait for S10 with gcam port.
How is the shutter delay using the gcam port on the S10? On LGs where I have used gcam, the ZSL would not work and that was the only downside.
When i took picture with night sight.my phone restart it sekf.
I envy you guys. I have got the exynos version and stock cam quality is ****. Miss my pixel 3.

I will check the shutter delay today when I have time. I've only used it for night shots as of now since that was the primary advantage it has over the samsung cam software. I know as of right now, this version doesn't support the wide angle lens, which means it's necessary to keep both sets of software. HOwever, I read in another thread (here or on reddit) that there is now a gcam version that works with JUST the wide angle lens. So hopefully they can combine these and give us a fully working port in the near future.
thanks i will try soon.
On the snap my stock cam sucks also. This google cam and open camera destroy it
Hello, i just want to say that the latest Google Camera 4.3 by Urnyx05 works amazing! It has much better results than stock camera. Pictures taken with Google Camera have much better dynamic range, more details & more natural color representation. Night photos have much more light, thanks to Night Sight mode & optical image stabilization. It has more noise which can't be easily seen until you zoom in. Sometimes white balance can be a bit off depending of the scene, but all in all, much better experience than stock camera. Selfie camera, pretty much the same experience as back camera, much better.
Video quality is not that different, maybe little better because you can set bitrate up to 100mbit vs (40mbit on stock camera) which works, i verified it in MX Player video info.
You need Android 9.0+ custom rom if you want to use Google Camera.
Everything works well. Only bug it has is front camera video & fast motion not working.
Settings: HDR+ Enhanced, Nexus 3 AWB on, 25 HDR Frames capture, 16:9, Full resolution capture. I disable face retouching for selfie camera.

Night Sight works here, and you see aloooooooooot.
Oh, you don't see anything on the screen when shooting, but take a photo, and you will see the end result.
Do you have the stock camera apk? i want to install it on android 9.0 but i didn't find any source for it.
UPDATE! Urnyx v2.2 works well!
Thx!
Can you update the link in OP?
