Google Camera from Pixel 3 - Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods

One of the main features of the new Google devices is the camera. The company has been continuously focusing on delivering a great camera user experience. Additionally, Pixel phones are known for being good smartphone shooters. That’s also the case with the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones announced yesterday. Now that they’re official, APKs are starting to pop up, and the first one is the camera app.

My question it will come as update for older Pixel devices or it will stay only for Pixel 3 devices?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I have a little question: I've downloaded pixel 3 camera on my 2XL device and tried to use it. But, however, i was dissatisfied with the result: IMO old camera made better shots.
Can I, somehow, rollback to previous version? I tried to install older APKs from APK Mirror, but that didnt work: system always gives an error "APK is not installed"

I think it's just a matter of time for us to get night sight and top shot.
Google could improve AR stickers. It was so much advertised but it is still so much underrated.

Go into the Camera app info screen and disable it. It will downgrade it to the factory version. Then re-enable it and you should be good to go.

How to install to android 8.1? Mi 6X

I had an issue with 2/3 videos not recording audio. I had to restart the phone for it to work. Anyone else faced the same issue?

Android/iOS
Any one else notice how the UI is just a flipped version of the camera UI on iOS??

is Pop Color enabled?

Yep! pop, depth, zoom and the new panorama, it's missing the tracked focus on video and the auto shoot on expressions

What do you think should I install Camera from Pixel XL 3?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

For what it's worth, I have had it installed around a full day with no issues. Shots are comparable in daylight. Over on YouTube user/zedomax has a quick comparison of running the app on a Pixel 2 against the old app on a 2XL and the low light performance seems to be improved in some situations.

Is there any way to install the app as duplicate so both camera apps (stock and pixel 3) can be I stalled simultaneously?

Nope.
Seems as the older camera apk has a better image. Just compared both. The older apk is for sure more clear and less noise on the 2XL.
I'll wait until the official features roll out to the 2XL users.
Thanks for sharing however.

Nexus 9 camera?

I have the Nexus 9 and happened to be in a Best Buy yesterday and they finally had them out on display. I was messing around with it and I opened the camera app and noticed that at the top that there were 2 tabs. One said Film Strip view and the other said Grid view. Mine does not show this nor am I able to find an option to enable it.
Does anyone else have this or know anything about it?
Are you sure it's using the native app?

Dual Camera not working

Open the camera app - swipe to the right - there's an option for dual camera. This allows you to take a photo of what's in front of you and behind you at the same time. It overlays the photo (selfie) onto the picture you just took from the rear camera. Well when I hit this option on my phone it says the camera has failed. I looked in the Galaxy App Store to see if it needs an update, and it is nowhere to be found.
Anybody else have this issue or know a fix?

seems I don't have this option. Which type do you have?
I have an unlocked Note8 and I don't have dual camera mode on mine. Nor does it appear to be listed as a downloadable package.
I have a TMOBILE Note 8:
Here's what I am talking about.
That mode doesn't exist on my AT&T Note 8.
Isn't available for download either.
T-Mobile here as well and i don't have that option either.
He downloaded that app from the Samsung app store

Again you have to download that app from the Samsung store like he did. That's why he has several features we don't have for the camera

I didn't download it. It probably came over from my s8+ because I can't find it in the galaxy app store
I didn't download it, and I have the US Unlocked Note 8 on T-mobile. It works for me, it opens up fine. Can't really test out since I'm in a dark car now, but I can see both cameras working fine.

Also have the Sprint version and I don't have that Dual Camera setting and I don't even have the download setting to add any either. So odd.
I was able to send my self the beauty face apk and install it and that shows up. I guess someone will upload somewhere the other apks like dual camera to manually install.

It's not available in the Samsung app store.
Only 3 options exist and dual camera isn't one of them.
According to Sammobile, Samsung is sending out an OTA update that addresses some things about the camera and about wireless charging. Hoping the update includes the missing camera modes.
I'm on tmobile and it was already there. I think from when I had it from the note 7 because it has the download arrow next to it.

Is it possible you just answered your own question? Not knowing anything about cameras, could it be our S8+'s one rear camera app is not compatible with the Note 8's double rear camera?? Just a guess.
Hope you sort this out.

Yea not here. It probably got move over form your old phone. Happen to me before with on of my phones.

[update] OnePlus Camera App 2.4.17 ( 3rd Nov 2017 )

A few days back a new version of the app was released on app mirror.
There is no official statement whether this update is for which one of the device but I've found out that it works perfectly on OnePlus 3/3T/5. Just on the 3/3T a few things that OnePlus 5 has are not present due to hardware limitations.
This update has- A complete UI overhaul ( much intuitive according to me ) and a little quality improvement as reported by few people.

This is from the leaked build of Android Oreo beta that was covered on XDA. Someone ripped it from that build and uploaded to APKMirror. No mysteries as to where it came from.

Working ok so far for me too. Has anyone seen any improvement with motion blur when taking pictures of moving objects? It's one of the only annoying things about the OnePlus 3T camera and I haven't managed to find an app that improves picture quality there...

Only the gcam port doesn't have the blur and as for me this app update has increased the blur.

To my devive all options are working smoothly !!!!:good:
Thanks a lot, I'm really surprised this works perfectly.
I did notice that in landscape if you pull up the menu, 2 of the options are cut off though.
Works wonderfully, excellent on the 3T with Android O. Only 2 issues I have are the landscape menu 2-options cut-off that the-blind-bandit noticed and also the pictures taken that show at the bottom-right when clicked on do not open Google Photos (I don't have the OnePlus Gallery installed) and so it just says No Photos when I click on that. The pics are still taken / saved and can be opened in Google Photos later. Minor annoyance, not usage-breaking.

Various Camera App Ports

First of all, this is not my work. You can find the devs behind this in the original thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/themes/mod-updated-6-11-17-google-camera-hdr-t3701190
This are the camera apps I tried and found them to be the ones that had most features working. THESE WERE ALL TESTED ON THE STOCK ROM AND WITHOUT ROOT.
Asus Camera: All picture and recording modes work, but opening the settings page crashes the app. Normal picture and video quality.
HTC Camera: All modes work except for panoramic selfies. The settings page works. Normal picture and video quality.
Meizu Camera: Works flawlessly. Manual mode only has EV Bracket control. Normal picture and video quality.
Nokia Camera: Takes excellent pictures in my opinion. Slowmo video doesn't work and settings page is inaccessible. You're stuck taking 13MP pictures and recording 4K video.
OnePlus Camera: Works flawlessly. HDR doesn't seem to work. Manual mode fully working. The app has a sharpness setting mod available in the settings page. Good picture quality and superior video recording quality in my opinion.

Edit: Forgot to mention the picture and video quality.

The only camera app that I know for doing this is FV-5 Camera, but it's kind of a fake long exposure, i think it takes multiple pictures with the longest exposure available for your phone and then combines them. Try it and see if it's of use for you. You can find it in the PlayStore

This happens the first time you open the app, then you have to close it and open it again and it should be working.

That's weird, are you on any custom ROM? I'm using the stock ROM without root. If you are on a custom ROM or on another phone I can't do anything because you're in different conditions

You should make note these are tested on stock in the op.
This is xda - users running stock are probably the minority.

As I said before, these were tested on the Stock ROM and they worked, if you are on a stock ROM there's nothing I can do in order to fix any issue because I'm not the developer of these apps.

I've been searching for the same type of camera and tried some but any has given me the same quality than stock
after going through multiple apps, I would say MWP and other gcam mods are best option.

Hi there, recently the Gcam was updated to 8.7 version with some new options but as you may know the last update the Pixel 3 has is the 8.3. I've been looking for a mod of the 8.7 that works with the office but no luck at all. Every APK from the modders team closes instantly after opening the app. Is there any version that you have tried that actually works?
