Some great mind ( or is it me ?) once said ... " If its a software.. then there will definitely be a hack " ...
Pixel 3 xl may haven't shipped yet.. but software bits like pixel 3 xl launcher, wall paper, etc are out.. and with that came out its amazing camera apk...
So why not run it on pixel 2/ 2 xl.. yey.. it did run.. and most of you have already installed it.. right? Beautiful ui.. ( iphone.. we literally dont want to copy your ui.. but ... ) And then raw + jpg support..
But.. we did miss that extra things .. right? Those software bits.. which google added to the cam .. exclusively for pixel 3..
Me too...
And lil disappointed.. so i give it a try.. nothing to loose ??
And guess what.. the app showed up with all those "hidden" features..
Dont belive.. take a look at ss from my pixel 2 xl
so all you have to do is...
1. using a root file explorer, edit build.prop form system folder ( not vendor folder)
a) ro . product . model=Pixel 3 XL
b) ro . product . name=crosshatch
c) ro . product . device=crosshatch
use "blueline" and "Pixel 3" .. if you want to keep your device as smaller Pixel 3
2. reboot , now your phone model will be pixel 3 xl / pixel 3
3. install the pixel 3 camera apk mentioned in this link https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-pixel-3-apk-download/
4. enjoy your new camera
NB:- this is a proof of concept hack, which i managed to get from a 10 min digging on last day's sleepless night.
NB :- to make portrait mode to work, first swich to front camera ( using camera switching icon) and then switch portrait mode from there. quick test gave me result that all ( or most) features are working, except the bug in switching directly to portrait mode fc the camera app( since we dont have two sensors for front camera. ), colour pop and depth adjustments work, h.265 encoding works , if you find something wont work, report. so that we can fix it hopefully.
I didn't check the rest, nor camera quality, nor anything else.. i am not that much into code writing or things.. may be some of you can pull out more..
Thank you.
What extra feature have you got to work? You get all of this by just installing the application.

everything works bro. i gave it a check, and edited the op. check
It's amazing for me.
Good work, I wonder if someone could do a magisk module to get the same affect so that you would have to mess with the build.prop file

I don't think so. The only down side is that all your apps will think you have a Pixel 3 XL but I don't think that would really cause a problem. I wonder what we would need to update in order to get things like the call screener to work.
Nothing new, you get most of this just installing the app, minus the HEIC codec

Have u tried it bro? I did.. and there are lots , which are missing. Either u haven't checked whats missing or u haven't checked whats gained.
Cool! ?
The new features seem to be there, but:
- Photo Box doesn't take a picture when I smile. Does it only work with multiple people?
- How can I enable top shot? Or does it turn on automatically?
Edit: Photo Box only seems to work when I switch to the selfie camera first and then activate it. When I activate it as long as the back camera is selected, it doesn't work. May be coincidence, though

I think top shot has replaced the burst mode. So you just keep pressing on shutter button.

This is great, what about Focus Tracking ?
Focus tracking works. H.265 works.... Guys.. just keep in mind that ... Some features need dual front cam.. so some of those might not work in our devices..
Google lens in real time works, no need to select it, works directly in the viewfinder.
The new ar stickers (playground) still don't work.
Automatic frame rate when recording video works
Portrait mode closes cam if u switch to rear cam or choosing portrait mode on rear cam.
If u switch to front cam and using portrait, it works, but if u switch to rear cam again, it closes.
Super zoom is to use like normal zoom, yes?
Is there any chance to get a working Gcam mod on Pixel 2 XL with all features unlocked without rooting the device?

Thanks to @2CanSan. He reported this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/themes/magisk-based-gcam-port-ar-sticker-t3730837 in the AospExtended ROM V5.2_V4.6 by @NFound.
I have been doing test with the GCAM magisk modules. There are 7 versions 15A to 15G. I started with G version but the configuration is fixed and I can meke the cam work. The F version is very configurable. I have done a lot of test and I have achieved the frontal cam HDR+ and Potrait work.
It would be great someone with AEX(Oreo) test this module and report the results.
Steps:
0. ROM Resurection remix Oreo(8.1). It can be found in the AospExtended ROM V5.2_V4.6 thread
1. Install Link v15F
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754461390
3.Open the Gcam(installed with the point 1 module) and follow this steps:
Note: back camera is working but hdr+ is not working, is like a normal camera apk.
3 in Settings/B-S-G Mod setting
- Select Model Pixel II.
- In Manual fixed black level offset select 63.
4. Exit from setting. Close the app and Remove the gcam from the tasks.
5. Open the camera (become black because the back camera is not working) and change to front camera.
6. In Settings/Advanced options enable HDR+ control.
7. Disable Movement, Disable flash and enable HDR+ improved. Test your results against the rom camera. Attached mines.
8. Test front potrait mode. Works almost fine..there are some arifacts.
Note. if you change the app setting and the app crashes and don't let you change the settings, remove app data and start the configuration from the beginning.
Tha app allows log so maybe our great co-phone developers can make the back camera work. It would be great!!!
Video of steps https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iYKZiAHyvqngkWgZY_eLAiXNEu818Krk/view?usp=drivesdk
In mode of magisk the S.O Crash and Reset in AEX
only Install in Recovery, You are warned ...!!!
It works even if those color bands did not come out in the photos, it would be excellent: D this I had seen before, there is a dedicated thread of the essensial Phone and version 7 is the only one that works with Axon 7, I had tested it in the OrderKriegger ROM but I confirm and confirm that it works with AEX.
The normal selfie camera works as well, but I feel that the portrait mode has more quality in the image ... the bug made it to lose. If you like selfies this is your app ... if the front camera as in my case you have it more ... better looking to improve the rear camera! : D
I have posted this in the magisk gcam module:
Hello all. Firts of all thanks for your sharing.
I have an Axon 7 with Resurrection Remix 6 (Android 8.1 based on LOS). I have flased the 15F version and selected Pixel II in "Model" and Auto in ·Config camer HDR+".
I have Front camera hdr+ working on front camera....Incredible improvement of quality in special at night!!
But back camera is not working (only work when I remove gcam data and "Model" is not selected).
I hava compared the logcat on front and back camera opening and the error in the back camera is this:
E Camera3-Device: Camera 0: sendRequestsBatch: RequestThread: Unable to submit capture request 2 to HAL device: Function not implemented (-38)
I know our device camera has not Google camera API 2 implemented, but why front is working and not back? Any advice?
Thanks!!
HDR+ is working but portrait has alot of blue and red artifacts on front camera back camera dosent work unless changing the model i hope something gets a workaround soon

You don't have HDR+ enhanced. Of course. I could also take pictures with the back camera, but HDR+ enhanced actually takes a bunch of pictures (an 8 shot burst i think) and puts a loading circle for half a second in the middle of the screen while it does. after that, when you open the gallery it should blend them all together. If you actually see a huge difference then it works.
Use the front one and choose HDR+ enhanced, you'll see what it does if you have it configured correctly

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 to all,
I faind that moded Gcam last version 6.2 from bulkin043, web site:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bulkin043/#apk907
Is half way working. Video, timelaps , panorama is working in Mate 20 Pro. Other things just stopped work. I think that someone who know can fix this and make this application works very well.
On this web site you can faind moded Gcam for LG V40 or V30 so that means you can use all 3 camera lense. But still someone need to fix this application.
I would like if someone can contact bulkin043 for help. Or just make the petition if we need it. Or whether bit it will be fantastic of we have Gcam on this very strong camera hardware.
P. S. When you open the camera turn off "motion" and then swipe to the video or oanorama or more otions.

Strange I installed and could only get lens blur working the rest just freeze then fade to black
i have got this version works for back camera photos but you to use these settings and steps:

2. hold press on the camera app icon, from the pop up choose take a selfie ( the app may crash in the first time)
3. Allow for all permissions.
4. swipe for more, settings > advanced (the first one) > Base > Config > Pixel2017 HW Zsl Hdr Intent(need YUV) also 2018 is working
5. Go back for the in the same advanced menu and go to FIX > Viewfinder Format > YUV_420_888 (Default)
6. Optionally turn on HDR+ Control ( in settings > Advanced (the last option in the main menu)
Notes:
- the app will crash everytime you go settings after you apply previous settings.
- the app will crash when you switch between front & rear camera ( if you need to take a selfie just hold press on the app icon and choose take a selfie )

Thanks for your work!
It's hdr working? Because I tried a lot of version and someone takes photos but no one with hdr
Does portrait mode work on any of these mods??

Thanks for sharing, but all of them are quite unstable and besides HDR (I didnt see difference from normal mode) no special mode is working. As for normal camera mode I found postprocessing (PP) from huawei camera better->more natural with all 3 cameras working with Night mode ofcourse and STABLE!!! On the other hand Gcam on samsung S7e (I sell it yesterday) produced much better PP and functionality with HDR too. But is there any need for Gcam in these days when huawei is so good? Just my thought...
edit: I tested 3rd Gcam 6.2 side by side Stock camera (pro mode) and I have to say, in good light stock camera destroyed Gcam but when it comes to lowlight, gcam won every single shootout (with NO night mode) Ive got amazing noise free shots with good detail

Did you config the Gcam? If so, what did you change in the app?
is there any news for gcam that work for emui 10?
We finally got a version of 6.1 with the updated libraries and features (Night Sight, etc) that doesn't kill the front camera!
I've been working on this with DefconG and Cstark for a while now, trying to figure out how to fix the noise profile / black levels in the front cam so we aren't stuck with 5.1 (and its arguably inferior image quality and sharpness), and this seems to be the first major breakthrough!

It says for Pie, but don't worry. It will install fine on Oreo. You may need to uninstall other 6.1 ports if you are having trouble installing it (on my device it conflicted with a 6.1 Arnova installation).
Front cam and both rear cams are fully supported with HDR+ Enhanced now. Night Sight is also an option. Some new funky feature too like zoom enhancements and other fun things that aren't entirely documented. Use the attached settings XML for the best V20 experience.
Definitely looks sharper, much more config options to fiddle. But after taking more than 2 photos it crashes, both with hdr, hdr enhanced, hdr off and hexagon dsp disabled.
If going for version 6 this looks like the choice.
Thanks for the good work.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do I apply the xml settings?
EDIT:
I think I got it. Writing steps for others here. Thanks man! You're the hero we need.
1. A quick search led to this: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
2. Downloading the xml seemed oddly difficult, so I downloaded it on my laptop and transferred it to my phone. It seems to be working fine

Double click the any empty black area near shutter button, it will as for the config. But be sure to copy the xml file to your \gcam\configs directory first.
I'm guessing no 7.0 support?
Night sight seems to be crashing now.. on the main cam especially. Anyone else facing the same?

As far as I know, any GCam after 5.1 needs Oreo or higher, and any GCam from 6.2 on needs Pie or higher.
Sadly doesn't work on H990DS Oreo, I have version mismatch maybe because of that.
Have to go back to 5.1
Hello everyone. First off thank you so much for your work and development. I have been playing around with the 6.1 camera and I think I have everything working, but lens blur keeps force closing while processing the image.
I did download the XML file and double tap in the black area next to the shutter button change to the correct config file. But I'm still having the issue with lens blur is there something that I'm missing? Also, is there a way to make it save directly to the SD card? And any way to brighten up lens blur?
Thanks again for the awesome work. It would be really nice to only need one camera!

Haven't tried Lens Blur yet, but regarding directly saving to SD card, that's not a feature since no Google Pixel phone has an SD card slot. You'll have to rely on an automatic process to move the files for you via something like Tasker or a specific app that someone made:

In Settings I changed both front and back cameras to be 16:9. However if I press the camera switch button then the settings does not stay. It goes like this:
Main Camera (16:9) -> Front Camera (16:9) -> Wide Camera (4:3) -> Front Camera (16:9) -> Main Camera (4:3)
Is it possible to fix this behavior so that switching to the Wide camera doesn't remove my Main camera settings?
Apologize for my ignorant. Does this app need root? What is the xml file for?

From my experience:
1. No root required
2. Xml file sets the settings/parameters which are optimal, and also somehow save the app from crashing.
Someone else might be better informed though.

Thanks for your work, really appreciate it
I've noticed that the link goes straight to the Joker version. I've tried latest one: "eldiablo" and it seems to be working fine. Should I stick with the joker version or eldiablo is just fine?
I'm on h990ds with lineage 16
Just installed this on my H990DS. Is there a wide angle option?

There's a couple of ways to toggle the cameras which can be set in the settings menu. One is to long-press the front/back toggle button, the other is to alternate each time you go from rear cam to front cam. The long press seems makes more sense on paper, but in reality it then pauses as it resets the app. Toggling to front cam and then back to rear seems to happen faster so you are ready to take a picture sooner. But then it is confusing because taking a selfie and then back to rear you forget which camera you are on now at first. I wish there was a toggle that worked like in the stock LG app, but the quality of Gcam is so good its worth it.

I haven't tried it yet- I'm just reporting info as the guys tweaking LG cams are filling me in.
The V20 is my wife's phone, and while I spent a considerable amount of time trying to make it take awesome pictures for her, I haven't tried the latest updates. She doesn't always like me stealing her phone to tinker. Let us know how it goes?

Quality of this camera is rather impressive, better than the other 6.1 I had. Is it OK to use eldiablo version or should we use joker one? Thanks
