Crash at launch means it's not functioning at all?
Is there any other gcam which is working?(maybe mi8 or mi mix 2s camera port)

None of BSG, Arnova, cstark, arthur work.

We will wait for the s845 pixel 3 to come out then we will have a fully functional gcam

Did you guys try out the one given in this video description?

@Arnova8G2, @shubham.bhavsar, @SH3H1
Camera samples from Arnovav7 beta test9 are aweful. Please look at samples from Poco F1 (V7 beta test9) vs Redmi Note 5 Pro (v8.1 beta3)
Redmi Note 5 Pro - 7.9MB
https://image.ibb.co/j2iG9e/Redmi_Note_5_pro.jpg
Poco F1 - 1.9MB (For some reason, it does not capture beyond 2-2.5mb) and hence loses details in images

Sanjav, photos are again bad with 7.9.7 APK. I have a Redmi Note 5 pro, and Poco is not able to match the photo quality. As I said, we would require @Arnova8G2 to look into our phone. I am ready to donate $10 if he is willing to help us out. Other members could similarly contribute generously for his efforts.

Damn, I didn't look at the file sizes and thought MI improved the stock cam optimization a lot as it was capturing a lot better than Gcam. So it's definitely capable of massive improvement with Gcam. I hope it isn't hard for Arnova, Serjo & BSG to port stuff as the camera sensor is closer to Pixel 2 and other phones like MI 8 would also be benefited from this. We can tag Arnova & BSG after the sufficient logs are gathered.

You have to enable the camera 2 api firt then the gcam mod will work

Google Camera with HDR+ ported. Finally!

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported/
Works on Redmi Note 4X (SD625)!
Tested on Redmi Note 4X running official Lineage OS 14.1, Camera HAL3 enabled by default
- Photo Image Stabilisation through HDR+
- (Often) more accurate exposure
- (Often) more accurate colour rendition
- (Often) sharper and more detailed shots.
- Far far more usable images in low light.
- I can actually capture some still pics of my kids! (with HDR+ turned to ON instead of AUTO)
Problem is the port is still quite buggy. Certain modes don't work. Hopefully it will be ironed out somewhere down the line.
doesn't work on omnivision sensor... Picture taken have a pink layer...
On samsung sensor,
Some captured pics have green tinted on it.
I say man , HDR+ works pretty well.
Only i had that kind of problemo
How does one get any update for the modded APK?
With sony sensor on MIUI 9 the app crashes on open.
Crashes on startup on Redmi Note 4X Snapdragon, MIUI 9
It crashes because you did not enable Camera2 API, you must add persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 to build.prop, save it and restart phone.
Then app will work.
Already a good thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/themes/google-camerawith-hdr-mido-t3656196
i'm using this right now, my device have a samsung sensor if you turn off the hdr+ the photo will have a green tint on it, also slow motion is not working, i have seen a post from mi 5s users they don't have the slow motion as well but someone made a flashable zip that made the slow mo worked, i don't know if we can do that as well on our device because the mod is actually made for 820+ devices, but because of this app i never went back to miui photos are way better that miui cam

Google Camera with HDR+

The Google Camera Ports with HDR+ are out for a while now. Lately they got more attention because of HDR+, Portrait Mode and even versions for Samsungs Phones with Exynos.
Now since the U Ultra shares most of the relevant components with the Google Pixel (same SoC, same Sensor but with OIS) i would have expected that most of the stuff works.
But for me it doesn't. Let's discuss configurations and experiences so far with the u ultra and the ports:
Download Collection
Modders: Arnova, BSG, Ivanich
In generell compared to the original port Camera NX from Charles_I all those other ports have more configurations but are much more buggy and slower. But in some configurations it's ok, and some amazing hdr+ pictures are possible.
Especially in low light. Compared to the good old Nexus 6p everything looks a bit more washed out but less grainy. thanks to the OIS 10 i found an app which has working portrait mode even on hour device:
Download
Settings
Model: Nexus 6
Use Config only Nexus6HdrPlusAuto - enabled
Portrait Mode on on all models- enabled
Not working:
Portriat Mode with Front Cam
Hdr+ with Front Cam
Well for some weeks i am also testing different versions and here is my experience:
1. Arnova's builds give much better image than everything else i have tested.
2. Most stable build that i currently use is Arnova's GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.2
3. I use following settings:
config camera hdr+ - pixel 2016 zsl hdr or pixel experimental features
model - pixel xl(corr)
hdr+ parameters - default
in advanced i set jpeg quality to 100%, activate hdr+ control and activate ZSL
This way it works good but still occasionally crashes. Newer arnova versions work very unstable for me (including 1.5)
Thanks for sharing~?
I also tried again to play with arnova's 1.5 and 1.6 versions but could not make it work stable enough. I needed ti use very different configuration with these builds - nexus 6 auto was the only working config for hdr+ (other give black screen). ZSL is not working also with this config. As a whole application looks more stable but at some point it just stops working. It show picture and focuses but just does not save anything. I am going back to 1.3.
I am suggest gcam this version off MGC_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__A7.0-8.1_MI5S_v2e and it's great working.
B-S-G Mod Settings:
Model: Pixel 2XL (Taimen) for smoother images; Nexus 6P (Huawei) for more detailed photos.
Use "config Nexus6 Hdr+Auto": turn on if the app crashes when taking pictures (better compatibility). Nexus6 Hdr+Auto NoZsl or Nexus 6P or Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr
HDR+ parameters: "Default" or higher settings. Medium for a balance between all options.
Manual fixed black level offset:set to 64 for fix pink tint
Adance setting
HDR+ control:enable
Portrait mode on all models:enable

thanks! Finally there seem to be some versions with working HDR+ on the front cam. now you finally can see that its a 16mp sensor. the difference is like night and day. unfortunatelly i haven't found a version with working HDR+ on the front Cam AND working portrait mode. with your settings the portrait mode stays black, on both cams.
You must not set config hdr+ parameter first.
Step setting
1.choose model>Pixel2XL/Pixel2
2.HDR+ parameters: "Default" or higher settings. Medium for a balance between all options.
Manual fixed black level offset:set to 64 for fix pink tint
Adance setting
HDR+ control:enable
Portrait mode on all models:enable >close app
3.you must open app again for setting config camera
Use "config Nexus6 Hdr+Auto": turn on if the app crashes when taking pictures (better compatibility). Nexus6 Hdr+Auto NoZsl or Nexus 6P or Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr>finish
Hmm, followed your steps. But no chance. Portrait mode doesn't work.
Good news!
With this apk everything seems to be working.
HDR+ on both cameras and portrait mode on both cameras. but everything is pretty laggy. i think this won't change till android 8.
For me arnova's v1.3 still gives best image quality. By disabling battery optimizations for the app crashes are significantly reduced.

I don't have Oreo yet, i will test in some weeks (months?) when it comes to europe. But I would try this one: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...amera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-6_1.apk
Arnova is optimizing it also for the HTC 10 with Oreo so i would keep an i on its development.
Would be nice if you reported back how it is on your Oreo phone? Did the processing speed increase? Is it more stable in low light? Is the viewfinder still laggy as hell?

Google Camera Port Info - Share your findings/photos!

I'm currently testing a Google Camera port on the ASUS ROG Phone 3. I am using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0_Wichaya_snapcam_V2.2 by Wichaya. Here are my observations so far with respect to compatibility:
id 0 = main camera 16 mp
id 1 = front camera 24 mp
id 2 = ultra wide camera 13 mp
id 3 = macro camera 5 mp
id 4 = main camera 64 mp raw
Observations:
All 4 lenses work, including the two rear auxiliary cameras (wide-angle and macro.) You have to go to Settings > Advanced > Auxiliary camera and enable them there.
64MP unbinned images can be captured, it's ID4. Aggressive denoising seems to remove a lot of detail. Play with the Luma denoise and Chroma denoise values in Settings > Advanced > Lib patcher.
HDR+ enhanced works with 64MP capture.
Max video recording is 4K60. 8K30 not available.
Slow motion crashes, so no 4K120 available.
Current issues:
No distortion correction for the wide-angle camera
Selfies are always 24MP, no pixel binning
I will get camera samples at a later date.
Thanks to Wichaya for their assistance!
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya v2.3
Based on Urnyx05's 7.3.018 v2.1. (Thanks Urnyx05)
- Optimize apk by uncompressed apk and clean up code (Thanks Arnova8G2)
- Added set auto exposure target frame rate range for viewfinder (works on some phone)
Download : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1281/
One thing that amaze me is a lot of high resolution stuff such as 64 mp, 8k video resolution and 4k slow motion are in id 4 instead of the usual id 0
The camera2 api is similar to Zenfone 6 and Rog Phone 2 but with separate ids for high resolution
Thanks Mishaal for testing :good:
How are the photos compared to the stock camera?
I would buy Asus ROG Phone 3, but the camera does not satisfy me 100%... so I'm much interested to GCAM "mod" Asus ROG Phone 3 results!
This one was captured by gcam urnyx modded for rog2 the xml configs also from rog2 , I'm using a normal lens with hdr+
Sorry I had to make another comment since my mobile data is so slow right now, same gcam same settings but this one is a night mode one.
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V2.5
Now no longer use specific package name for aux cameras thanks to new code
Package name : com.GoogleCamera.Wichaya
Based on GCam 7.3.018 Urnyx05 V2.1 (Thanks Urnyx05)
Changelog
- ? Aux cameras working on most phones without root apart from some exceptions. (Bug on Rog Phone 3 crash when switch lens from 64 mp mode to front camera. Change lens to main first before use front camera) Thanks a lot to Eszdman and Arnova8G2 for the code shared to me and others.
- Added OPPO and Experimental opmode (Thanks Arnova for the value)
- Adjusted some menus in the settings
- Press lib patcher icon bring to lib patcher menu, hold awb icon bring to awb menu, hold exposure button bring to exposure compensation menu (Thanks Overwhelmer)
- Added Gamma Curve, HDR Range Control and experimental lib patcher thanks to Julian Tsependa aka Tatchan for finding the address and Arnova8G2 for the new lib patcher
- Fixed black screen aux video mode on some devices
- Added new option to choose viewfinder buttons layout between old left side or top near the drop down menu
- Added no restart when no setting changes (Thanks Arnova for suggestion)
- Adjusted viewfinder buttons size based on screen dpi (Thanks Overwhelmer for suggestion)

I think the 60fps video recording is not 60. The video recording with stock camera is much much smoother. Can anybody confirm amd is there a solution?
Hey guys. Just checking in to see how the gcam is going for this device, is it a great improvement over the stock cam?
any working gcam ports??....mine force closing whenever i launched it luckily im not a camera enthusiast but having a working gcam port is assuring though....gonna have to wait few month more i assume
Gcam works good on rog
Using Posted GCam, and its definitely better than stock, but i do get issues with focus on GCam, it hunts. I expected the cam to be better on rog3, vs rog2, buts its not. ASUS needs to invest more time on its cams. They are pretty bad.
but then again.. this is a gaming phone. and they are investing more on the gaming features

That bird is a cormorant. It stood there with its wings like that for a while. It does it to dry its wings. Or so I've read online.
Thanks for this app. GCam works faster, when I take pictures at 64 MP with Asus cam app it is pretty slow. But GCam pictures quality is lesser than Asus app.

Gcam quality is lesser? WTF? Dont use 64 mp, thats the magic in Gcam, the pixel binning. Unfortunately the cam on the rog3 is very bad, and not much will fix it.

The cam is not that bad. I had no bad shot with this phone, it sure is less good than the note 10 + of my wife but nothing wrong with the cam while using Asus cam app. Can't say that about GCam that is even after modding it, optimized to use with Pixel phone.

Here are some more samples from stock cam and gcam. The stock cam pics are the ones on the left and top.

[9.0+] Google Camera with working HDR+ Enhanced

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.

Thank you very much for fast responce and URL. I downloaded and installed "GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.6.apk" and it work!
Some minor issues with opening photos on gcam app (but work in gallery app).
Video quality the same (as I saw). But photos like pixel (I have pixel 3a xl).

Question Gcam for zenfone 9?

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

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?
