This is kinda work in progress port of Gcam with hdr+ for arm devices. it's based on google camera version 4.2.035.141213305-arm.
it needs camera api 2 enabled. you can enable it via flashing the zip I've attached or add below line into build.prop.
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Stock rom is preferred, but it should work on all roms as long as above requirement is met.
Google camera apk
Please let me know if auto/touch focus works or not. happy testing :good:
Credit : @defcomg
Requires TWRP for flashing zip. or root for manually editing build.prop
Nice to see another thread on this..
Is root needed??
Also please try new Google camera APK.
Appreciate your work.
I see many devices having their own port of Google camera with more or less features, did you tried some of them on g5s? GCam ports for other devices on g5s?

Newer gcam apks are 64bit only so they won't work on phones with 32bit os like g5/g5s/g5+/g5s+ etc. this also needs root or custom recovery like TWRP to flash attached zip. i don't have this phone that's why i posted it here so others can see if it works.
slowmotion video won't work, nor i will fix it. since stock cam have that option already. this is only for hdr+.

Slow motion video works for me on XT 1806, also AEX 5.0 has the option already enabled, so you might not have to root if on a custom rom.

i don't have this phone to test, does HDR+ with touch/auto focus works or not on this phone ?
everyone talks about something different than i asked. feels like why i even bother. this community seriously sucks.

Interesting, just to be sure you have set hdr+ to always on ? how's the image quality now tho ? any improvements ?
can you post some samples with/without hdr+ ? :good:
I also tried this port. Work quite fine, on screen in live capturing there's some light/colours distortions, but in the shot in the gallery is perfect. The app sometimes crashes, but it's still usable.
Shots with her+ shows a good quality in low light with good noise reduction and details compared to stock camera app. When I'll got some free time I'll post samples.
I tried this camera, my phone is not rooted and wouldn't know about api2 able... Wouldn't mess up with system files... Anyway, I installed this camera and works... Photos have good detail on them, only problem is a bit too much noise and it creates a raw file that I never asked... Anyway, hope the developer manages to reduce noise and stop that raw file... Thanks

Oh yeah auto/touch focus works
kraatus90- Is this different from the version on the G5+ forums in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/themes/potentially-google-camera-port-t3684264
I've been playing with that one all day on my G5+ (non S variant, single camera), but the focus issue is driving me bonkers. Even the posted "workaround" which requires going to video and focusing, then going back and trying to lock focus... sometimes the focus will drift when the camera reinits upon photo mode.

I too have an unrooted phone and no, this doesn't work.
How did you get it to work without rooting and without enabling Camera2 API?

Are you on an S or regular Moto 5+? The S version, as I understand, has camera2 already enabled by default. I think the dual camera stock setup uses it internally so it was always there. As far as it working without root- the app itself doesn't require root to run, however if you have a phone that lacks Camera2 API, you'd need to root in order to fix that.

I have G5 plus. Yes, I know that app itself doesn't require root; indeed, I was referring to enabling the Camera2 API.
I guess I'll have to wait for Oreo update which will have it enabled by default :/

What makes you think that? Api2 has been around since Lollipop, I think phones leave it disabled when it isn't needed by the stock camera. For example, the G5S plus (which this thread is referring to) has it enabled, even on Nougat, and I think that's because the dual camera thing required some fancy magic in the stock app to make it work, and that was accessible via api2.
BTW, I'm not rooted, but I unlocked my bootloader and changed the build.prop through recovery to add the line. Still mostly stock on my G5 plus (non S variant, like yours).
moto has opted for 32bit operating system and apparently the google camera port only works with devices with 64bit os
Awesome HDR+ Shots..A Big Thumbs Up for porting This...??

I gave this a try. Honestly I'm not seeing any difference between the stock moto camera and the google camera after I added persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 to my build.prop
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I dunno. I'll try taking some photos outside.

Also there are so many settings in the camera app it's tough to tell which ones actually make a difference. I'm pretty underwhelmed by this big goose chase for a better camera. Any help anyone?

Thank you. I'll give those settings a try. How did you come about those settings anyway? Are they posted in another forum elsewhere?
Does anyone know if there's a version of the GCam for Xperia X?
No. You could unlock bootloader and use a custom ROM with Camera2 API enabled though, that's the only way.

HDR+ works you just have to use the latest GCam mod and follow the recommended settings.

Could you please elaborate more? Which exactly "latest GCam mod"? And what are "recommended settings"? Unfortunately, I can't read thoughts...
Forget HDR, can you get Motion Photos that way or whatever they are called?
Google's implementation is the closest to Apple's Live Photos there is, there is no contest otherwise. Trust me, I looked around.
Also, there is no "latest GCam mod"... There's a LOT of Google Camera mods.
Here, have a look: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Yeah... I know... And don't bother ctrl+F-ing "Xperia" or "Sony"...
Funny how we Xperia X users all know that the stock camera app sucks balls, but there is nothing really out there in terms of gCam to fix it.
Sidenote: really unfortunate that Google is not supplying gCam to anyone anymore. The added features are in parts the things people will miss from iPhone and the typical argument that with Android you're free to mix software and hardware gets a huge blow.
It'd be less annoying if Pixels had an SD card slot.

I think it's because of some limitations in hardware related resource availability or permissions. We dont have the Camera2API working on our device.
And by the way I couldnt get the sense of what youbwere trying to say with the message above

Will any senior member please answer why GCAM MOD or any GCam doesn't support on honor 5x!!?? I have tried many of them but only Gcam version 2.0 supports in it. It is very much earlier version (for android kitkat).I don't know the reason.
N.B: I also enabled camera2 api and hal debug with buildprop.editor ; but still it doesn't work. very annoying....
Gcam won't work, because the camera's hardware limited. You can install the camera2.api, through a module( forgot which thing I'm using, magisk, or xposed). It still won't take, because of hardware. I've got it to install, and load , then it closes when the camera starts to focus.
"I have been using the pixel experience for quite some time, really miss the stock camera as nothing works perfectly as of now!
Can someone provide stock camera port (or APK) for custom roms in Mi A3?
Any help will be appreciated, thank you! "
__________________________________________________________
So with the release of the incomplete android 10 for miA3 (although rolled back, someone still might be having the fast boot rom), all of us now have the stock camera app (android 10 supported) that can be ported for any other rom, (the pro mode does not work but, we have everything else working and we can leave the pro work to the pros (i.e Google camera) ).
So if anyone succeeds in doing so, ported stock camera app will be a gift for mi A3 users. although google camera is unbeatable, but it is also very unstable and i cant rely on it for daily use! (for this phone) and ANX lacks portrait mode and slo-mo
Totally agrre I am also a very happy user of Pixel experience (great rom) but I also would like to install the original stock camera of the Mi A3 because of the ultrawide lens.

Just installing the app from Stock OS will not work; however you may try ANXCamera, it's a Magisk Module that installs MiUI camera on any OS, support of all features not guaranteed.
Available at the link below:
https://camera.aeonax.com/
It's possible to use GCam if you want to use ultrawide without MiUI camera; for that GCam must be installed into /system/priv-app or you have to change SELinux to Permissive, I recommend to set to Enforcing right after using the camera, it's more secure. You must use a compatible GCam, one that includes aux camera patches, you can find them in Xcam, Fu24's port and several more.

Thanks a lot man!, will flash when i get back, gives me a lot of hope!.
also, ultrawide on GCam is very buggy and has a lot of noise! very bad compared to the stock, also very slow in terms of post processing.
also i can't seem to find the thanks button that adds to your "thanks meter" (not used to XDA forums)
GCam for A10s
Hello guys, just a quick post here. I am sharing a confirmed working GCam on the A10s
Now, let's get one thing clear. This is a very old GCam of course because of this phone, up to date GCam is pretty much impossible as this phone uses 32bit camera libs
Does this camera app take better photos than the regular stock camera?
Maybe, maybe not
With very little testing, we've found that it tends to not overexpose photos like the stock camera does, so that may be something good for some of you!
Also, I want to say that I did not make this GCam, nor do I develop or work on it. This GCam was shared for J6 (another a64 device) users in a J6 group, so I just went ahead and tried it on the A10s and to my surprise it works.
If anyone knows the original developer for this, please let me know or tag them here to give proper credits, as I have no idea who it is.
Anyway, here's everything you need to know (taken directly from J6 group)
Features!
HDR+
Night Sight
Lens Blur
Bugs!
Stretched viewfinder, just enable HDR+ by default. It won't affect the final image.
Video recording is broken. Viewfinder is also stretched but can be fixed by setting res. to 720p.
Purple tint on bright parts of images. Try messing with camera values.
Camera sometimes doesn't take pictures (usually when tapping on areas)
Links!Download
Original website
Instructions!- After installing, enable and disable night sight to get the viewfinder working.
This MAY work on other phones with 32bit camera libs, so you can try it out on other devices if you like.
Please don't ask, "Does this work with my device?". Just try it out and leave a comment if it worked. It only takes a couple of minutes
thanks.
it work my device A10s A107f/ds
thanks.
it work my device A105f but I can shoot videos but the photo does not work

No, nobody is interested in the A10 or the A10s. This is simply something I found for my other device (J6) and decided to test out on the A10s. This GCam was not intended for this device and will probably never get an update, so I wouldn't really say that A10 or A10s has development to it.
Cant download it
Works on a Moto G7 Play
This is the only GCam I found to work with a Moto G7 Play (XT1952-4) running Android 10. This phone runs a 32-bit OS. There is no flash option. It is grayed out.
