Hi Guys...
I just read on Xperiablog that a new firmware is released (55.0.A.2.314), i have personally not got it yet (I am in The Netherlands), If anyone of you have got it already i am curious is there any improvement other than the security patch??
Looking forward to any feedback.

Download the firmware using xperifirm, then use newflasher to flash it.
Or just wait for your region to get the latest version.

Lmao they tweaked sound vol higher, now my ear speaker is cracking while playing music ?
1. Is there 21:9 ratio for pictures?
2. Is there a fix for 4k video stabilization?
3. Is there 4k 60fps mode?
4. How is battery life?
5. Can we add more home pages to the left and select main screen(home)?
6. Did wifi connection improve?
7. Is the vivid mode for screen back?
8. Is the performance mode for STAMINA back?
9. Is disturbing sound when listening to music via bluetooth headset gone? I mean there is one since it is changing quality or caused by "headphones" app.
10. Are there more color options for main theme / wallpaper?

Can't really comment on the picture quality as I've had mixed results since day 1. It's usually hit an miss.... But the slow album and loading of captured images is till here. The delay between switching lenses is still there. I guess we need to wait for the next firmware update....

Slow album loading? Never had that issue for me. If your pictures are saved to the microsd card, make sure your microsd card isn't slow.
Finally Got the Update in Netherlands
I finally got the update this morning (Region R9A). My impression is the overall performance has definitely increased, it mush much more responsive. Fingerprint gets it right every single attempt, before this i kinda had given up on the FPR, and was using the pin every time.
After taking a picture it does process a tad bit faster and album do load ever so slightly faster.
Other than this i haven't really noticed any difference in camera quality or any new added feature. Maybe once they launch in US, more features maybe added (Finger crossed), also with the added number of users across the pond, we may finally have some developer who would be able to port GCAM to this phone.

I have over 50k pictures mostly whatsapp so it's kinda slow loading however on my XZ premium i never had issues.
Any new change ?
Good to know I wasn't the only one struggling with fingerprint sensor. Half the time it says 'Not recognized' or 'partial fingerprint detected'.

NO i got it fixed.
It went into the different addons and found, that with project "fluid" there are some files placed in the lib-folder which have to do with audio.
So i tried to install without the fluid package and now it works.
Then i removed the files that have to do something with audio from the fluid add on folder, and now i have, walkman, poweramp, and fluid patches working.!

Now, the last thing missing on your rom, is just a camera which has pictures with same quality than the original... Then it would be perfect
I don't want features and tools, i just need quality - i know what my camera was abled to do.
At the moment i'm using the stock android camera.
Other problem with this is, it shows always a 16:9 picture, even if i select 8mpx. The outcome is 4:3, but in the preview the picture is cut, and not as sharp, as the real output is then. So you never know if it is well focused or not, because in preview it s always not realy sharp.

Yes exactly, focal is just a FC on xperia neo. The real output pictures on xperia neo aren't sooo bad with stock camera... i just compared some pic's. Not so bad... minimal difference
Biggest Problem on stock camera: Preview 16:9, not sharp preview, and lot slower then cybershot camera.
Do you think that the 16:9 problem is just any xml or other config problem? If so, please tell me just what i need to change (or replace gallery.apk?), so that i don't need to reflash the whole rom (i've done some changes... )
Other small bug i found is (but i think its cm10 problem): GPS Problems - with Navigon it gets connection for 5 seconds, then looses, reconnect, lost and so on. Only if i start gps status tool before opening navigon, it's working. And the google maps arrow is spinnig around all the time - no idea what this problem causes.

I just flashed the v7 of this camera and as for now it seems to be a much better camera apk than the snapdragon apk.
I like how many features it has, especially the EIS.
The only bug I've found is that if I enable the "Power button as a shutter" then I have FC all the time (have to wipe it's data then).
Zooming isn't good with this camera as objects become way-to pixelated when zoomed in. Tried to do this same thing with cyanogenmod's default camera and the object was much more clearer and less pix-elated. Plus the use power button as shutter button makes the app crash all the time.
Edit - While focus works nice in both front and back camera, it doesn't show the focus ring in front camera.

Well, there's no focus mechanism in the camera, so what kind of focus are you expecting? The face detection?
---------------
I just did some low light tests.
Tbh, there's no difference in the noise amount. Both pictures look ****ty + the pictures from this camera are all white, I mean like there's almost no color in the pictures. The stock camera wins in the color reproduction in those conditions easily.

Im taking about touch to focus. It doesn't have touch to focus when using front camera, whereas cyanogenmod's default camera has. don't know about miui default camera.
It takes bright pictures in low light, but It's just too white in normal condition!
Plus,stock camera has better details. Slightly better.
One more thing, there is no 120fps slowmotion for HD resolution. and I don't know if 60fps FHD works or not.
Worse than Snap Camera included in latest CM13 build (balika). The chroma noise reduction is worst...
v22 works on miui. will be glad if you can upload latest updates here
Well this is like dream come true. For video shooting, this is the best camera app for redmi note 3 atleast. It has features like video stablisation, h.265 encoding and the best of all, it is able to save the video to sd card. (I previously tried an apk of camera next from apkmirror and it was not able to dave on sd card) . And for still shotss also, it has denoise feature, which I missed back then in camera next. Thank you so much. Now there is no need to go back to miui any more. You made my day.
Hello!
I have been working on this for awhile now.
The stock camera libraries suck. They over sharpen, over saturate, and over noise reduce the jpeg images into garbage.
I hate this.
So I decided to fix this.
With the help of @defcomg , I started to learn how to edit chromatix files etc.
I present you my initial XDA release of this mod.
It affects manual and auto mode in the stock camera and impacts all camera apps.
I have altered tons of aspects of image quality. These are all subjective changes to *my* tastes. I will continue updating this as I can but there can be weeks between updates.
Download: http://buildbox.justbeca.us/jcarlson.html
Please test out and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for this. Will this affect the ported gcam? I'm plenty pleased with its performance and quality. Difference Vs the stock cam is night and day. I wish to have the same quality in manual mode as well hence the question.
Ps. Can you add a few images for comparison between stock and after the mod?
Hmm will it work on LOS? Edit: Never mind. Seems like it's only for stock.

It's not a big deal because I've been using Gcam mainly for anything I need HDR for but if your tweaks have helped the LG cam's HDR in any way it would be nice to try since LG hid the stupid option in the settings menu instead of having it as a quick select option like Gcam
I ran into an issue that I haven't been able to replicate yet but I activated one of the shooting modes and the camera crashed and I had to clear data to get back into the camera. I'll test it out again later but I have a feeling it's a bug related to the V30 port as opposed to something you specifically changed.

Yeah the v30 port has some issues. One reason I removed it from my release. It's buggy. I prefer it to the v20 app but it does have some issues.

Yeah just for future reference, it's the 360° panoramic/Photosphere mode that kills the camera I found out. If you go into this mode then the camera wont open after you close it and you will have to clear data as force close will not help either. At least on mine running WETA ROM on H918 it does.
So do not open 360 panoramic mode.
Haven't tested out all the other modes yet so there may be another one that does it as well just FYI
Haven't really shot many pictures yet but so far it's night and day better than the stock camera.

It's fairly easy to backup the system partition in TWRP and just restore the backup. That's what I've been doing. Not quite as convenient as magisk but alot better than dirty flashing the ROM in my experience.
Can you revert back to the stock V20 camera after install of this mod? Thanks
Just flashed this and tried it out.
What would help from me to fix a fc bug?

Everything is fine

Immediately force closes

I have a zip on the site with all the stock files that should work.i would definitely back up your rom first tho.
I will hopefully have a magisk module up next week.
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!
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog924/
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?

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:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gcam-tool-automatically-photos-t3752115
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.

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.

@Dishe
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

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

Doesn't hurt to try it and let us know!
Anyone else noticed that when using original camera app and recording a video (I tried it in 4k but I assume it is same in other mods) when you switch off the sound in camera settings then the sound is still recorded??? I tried to toggle it but no matter on or off it is still recorded...
Another bug is that on the bottom of the camera settings there is an option to 'reset settings to defaults'. Well I click it and nothing happens... It doesn't work either.
Also they didn't provide possibility to take pictures in 21:9 to cover entire screen. Where 3rd party apps can do this. Maybe not 21:9 but 7:3 (that should be same) that results with 7MPx picture. Hence it's possible!
I wonder who is testing it???
Is sony testing its software at all?
Tried to post it on their original forum but currently they have 'technical problems'.
OMG this company is so incompetent and pointless.
Also recording videos in 4k is losing the frames so need to use 3rd party app to have smooth 4k recording. And they aim to be top in camera department?
With what?
They abandoned all Xperia 1 users with garbage and without updates or new features. Now even security patches are not coming on time.
Pathetic.

This sound option toggles the shutter/video record/stop sounds. It does not toggle whether or not sound is recorded

Not sure what to tell you, this option works for me. If you want to reset the program, you can also do it by "clearing storage" in the Apps section of settings.

They probably assume if you want 21:9 then you'll just crop a larger image to fit the screen. You are correct in that the CinemaPro program does take advantage of the 21:9 aspect ratio by shooting in it.

Yeah, it's pretty depressing that the Xperia 1 fails to deliver what would be expected in the camera department for a 2019 flagship model that is specifically marketed towards media creation and consumption. Especially when their mirrorless cameras are some of the best for video quality in their price point.
A little off topic, but this video does a good job explaining why Sony, though they seem determined to continue making phones forever, are doing a crap job of selling them which just hurts the consumer more and more
