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.

tried it, portrait mode doesn't work. frontcamera doesn't work in low light. i think there will be no progress anymore with those android 7 backports.
came the screenshots of your settings. did you clear the cache before the launch? the camera chose pixel xl?

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?

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.
GCAM 6.1.0.021 Base
Download Arnova's Advanced 1.7 here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/
then download the XML config attached to this post.
Instructions for applying the XML file can be found here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
What works:
- Aperture switching for main camera (settings > Samsung CameraAPI2 > toggle "Switch to 2.4f aperture)
- Motion photo (have to use google photos as gallery and only limited to 1080p resolution)
- Night Sight
- Portrait mode
- Wide angle camera (hold the toggle camera button to switch between wide and regular rear cameras, press to switch between rear camera and front camera)
GCAM 6.2.030 Base
Download Arnova's Advanced 2.2 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=31714
Go to Settings > About > Enable Advanced Features
Settings > Enable AUX
Settings > HDR+ Control > Image Format > YUV_420_888
Quality HDR+ > Super High
Custom Libs > Eszdman v3 Beta
What works:
- Aperture switching for main camera (aperture icon at the bottom right)
- Motion photo
- Night Sight
- Portrait mode
- Wide angle camera (toggle button at the bottom left)
GCAM 7.0.009 Base
Download Xenius9's GCam_4.0.191101.0729build-7.0.009_x9_s9s_mod_0.43.apk here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12qfHQ-oq4vrHCWFkNaP6lNHMoDB31SNy
To enable astrophotography, go to settings, developer settings and make sure nightsight.extended_tripod and nightsight.extended_iterable_burst is enabled.
What works:
- Aperture switching for main camera (aperture icon at the bottom right)
- Motion photo
- Night Sight (with Astrophotography)
- Portrait mode
GCAM 7.2.010 Base for Android 10

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...
---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------
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

I have been testing it (with default settings, HAL3 enabled and gcam front camera fix) and I found some bugs.
Sometimes, the shutter does not respond correctly and when I move the camera I can appreciate some lens distortion. I also noticed that the pictures taken with the rear camera are saved with a lot of background noise. It is normal?
If I disable HAL3 (into /vendor/build.prop), replace libmmcamera_platina_imx576_sunny.so (into /vendor/ lib/ ) and restart the device to be able to use the front camera, it takes photos but camera interface freezes instantly.
I am using Pixel Experience Pie (aosp version 2019 05 08) with Acrux Kernel 1.0.1 Stable

Put beauty mode to 0 and then you can shoot with front camera without freezing, noise is there, but pictures have much more details in comparation with stock mi 8 lite camera. I will post new version with night mode and longer default shutter speed soon, also i find how to fix beauty mode. Lens disortion is associated with cameraservice lib, stock lib from mi8 lite make lens totally distorted and wrongly oriented. I will try to fix disortion if i can. Miui camera from Pixel expirience don't use second lens for depth ??

Try to flash module with magisk, if camera app don't get installed you need to delete other camera apps manually via root file manager and flash again. With some roms camera won't get installed and after flashing you need to extract module and copy from priv-app miuicamera folder together with other libs in miuicamera priv-app in your phone

Use lib form my post, disable camera2api, and add this line to vendor/build.prop persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=0 Every app should work then with Pe, there is no benefit from Gcam if you broke everything with camera2 api enabled. Miui camera taking great photos now and portrait work perfect

persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=0 to disable cam2api?
Prefer front cam from miui 24mp, and back cam from gcam, but i will try..
Exactly, copy lib in vendor and turn off HAL3 to 0, and everything will work perfect, but Gcam will be broken.

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
Here are some pics I've taken:

How do you take a picture of a bird moving with 2 different cameras and the bird looks in the same exact position? Unless the picture is taken out of a book or magazine
In other more info see the other bird behind has moved, :laugh:

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

Just adjust the exposure compensation to your own value. The rest works fine for me. Hope you can use it
Hi, this might sound very naive but I'd like to learn how to port google camera to another phone. I know some basic programming skills. Could you direct me to some resources I could read to better understand the process. Thanks.
THX for this port !
A note, the 60 fps video mode does not work, and records in 30 fps. And the slow motion crash mode.
Also I don't see a big difference between HDR + and advanced HDR +, are there any?

You need to change lens to 64 mp for 60 fps video and slow motion to work
Hdr+ enhance usually works better with high contrast, medium and low light scenes. In a good daylight, hdr+ on (Zero shutter lag) works well

Thanks! However I'm having issues with taking any photo with the Front-Facing camera. It crashes every time I take a selfie.

Unfortunately no, choosing the 64PM sensor and 60fps does not make 60fps video but still 30. The slow motion mode no longer crashes with the 64MP sensor, but the video rendering is really weird, as if there were 1 images per second.
Hdr+ enhance (compare too Hdr+) works great with low light scenes effectively, thx

Found this APK in another thread.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_ASUS_V2.3.apk
Using the "mydev-config.xml" in this thread and everything is working as expected. Thanks for the config! ?

Turn off sabre for front camera. I made a mistake enable sabre for asus devices.
Or load the config from the main post
Can you tell me how to do that?
I cant seem to download the xml file in the first post, it says 404 not found

Just discovered that the 60fps option in video mode doesn't make 60fps video (only 30 fps) , but turn on the stabilisation
Strange issue, let's have a look.
