[UPD] Super-Pack of Google Camera MODs for OnePlus 8 Pro! - OnePlus 8 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello OnePlus Addicts,
Here is a Custom-Made SUPER-PACK of some of the newest Google Camera Mods available out there, which contains the work of several developers such as Greatness (Rakin), B-S-G, P.Z.D, MTSL, LMC and Wichaya.
Please, keep in mind that I am not an app developer, myself, just an enthousiastic end-user happy to share the good stuff!
DOWNLOAD (APKs + Custom Profiles): https://gofile.io/d/OCsHTd
[ LMC R15 is currently the latest GCAM Mod included in this Super-Pack ]
>>> The included XML configuration profiles are made for ONEPLUS 8 PRO ONLY! Using them on another device may result in some serious bugs, crashes, and it will definitely not bring you the same user experience... <<<
1) Just download the file above, unzip it (using the provided password), then install the apk file of your choice on your device.
2) Extract the appropriate xml configuration file, as well as its folder, onto your phone internal storage.
3) Then, just start the app, give the necessary privileges, double-click on the lower black area near the 'shutter' button of the app, it should allow you to load custom profiles. Select my xml, press ok, done!
Some of these mods come with Face Detection, Face Retouch (both Front & Back sensors), great color reproduction, low noise, excellent details (especially on the main back sensor), FHD & 4K videos @ 30/60FPS with OIS/EIS stabilization, Night Shots, Astro-Photography, Portrait and more...
However, there is still no Distortion Correction/Fix on Ultra-Wide sensor, on any GCam mod I have tried sor far actually. This might come in the future, but it seems to be quite hard for devs to implement in their respective mods. This can be fixed by some apps in post-editing anyway...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some 'hidden' shortcuts in some of these GCam mods! For example, with Greatness, P.Z.D, MTSL and LMC, you can access the (very useful) Exposure/ISO menu by long-pressing the circle 'gallery' button on the lower-right of the main app screen, which will provide you with a choice of ISO settings, as well as Exposure choices. The lower the ISO, the better the final picture quality, but it will take more time to 'capture' your image. The same goes for Exposure; the longer the time, the better your image (and the lower iso at the same time), but you may have to be steady if you go lower than 1/10s.
A long-press on the Camera-Switch button (on Greatness Mod), on the lower-left of the main app screen, will directly bring you to the App Settings.
Double-Press the viewfinder itself will zoom 2x to what you want to shoot, and will display the Zoom Bar at the bottom, so you can finely adjust it!
There is also a 'Sunset' shortcut on the main screen/viewfinder (Greatness Mod), just above the 3 back sensors, which should theoretically bring better color reproduction and lighting to your sunsets.
Also, one personal advice when using some, if not all of these mods: You will get BETTER EXPOSURE as well as LIGHTER SHADOWS when selecting your focus zone MANUALLY (within limits of your focus zone of interest, obviously). This goes for Daylight shots, as well as Nightshots, and another advice would be to try to select either a Dark area of your image (when shooting in daylight) OR one of the Brightest zones (for example, some streetlights at night), and then take the shot. The App should then do a better job at adjusting your Exposure, Contrast and Shadows, and this will greatly reduce risks of Under-Exposing or Over-Exposing your shots. When taking snapshots of people, in case the app can't detect their face, make sure you select it manually, you will definitely get brighter, more detailed skin results. It may be one extra-step, but I personally found out that it was usually worth doing!

Hey,
If you feel frustrated by the low-light performance of your new OP8 Pro, , just give a shot to this new GCam release, with support for most recent OnePlus/OPPO (Nord, 8 / 8 Pro...) flagships, great AWB and awesome night mode.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam7.3.018_Greatness.Build2.0.apk
I've managed to get wide-angle and tele to work perfect with our 8 Pro, as well as great quality from those 3 lenses, especially the primary one. Front cam works good as well.
[N00b m0de 0N] I made an XML that you could load to the app to get everything set perfect, so you can play with it immediately, file is attached to this thread. Make sure you have created a 'GCam' folder in your internal storage, as well as a 'Configs7' subfolder, and copy the xml file inside this subfolder. Then just load my file by double-clicking on the black area of the GCam app, near the shutter button. [N00b m0de 0FF]

Nice to see! Kudos

Always excited to try a new GCam and Config against the stock camera. When sampling a couple captures, I am noticing a yellow tint vs stock in low light. Anyone else with the same result / suggestions on tweaking to correct for this effect?

Hi names,
Not getting any specific yellow tint in 'normal' low light on my side, except maybe in extremely dark / near obscurity which gets slightly orange (not the normal night scenery you would capture, anyway). It's definitely related to the AWB, so I suggest you try some other options in the settings if you get this yellow tint, but it might also be that the device lens cannot even "guess" the white balance if too dark to capture. However, if you don't get this yellow tint with stock, as you mention, then it's definitely something you may want to tweak in your GCam AWB settings. Good luck and please share your results with us

Thank you. However, I'm not the developer, just a user who provided the xml file
If the developer brings full support for our device's AUX modules, then I'll update my post accordingly.

That's still good of you to do. In regards to your XML file is there any way to change the grid layout to 3x3? I can't find the option anywhere

As far as I could see, it seems to work fine, but I didn't do side-by-side comparison between stock camera app and this GCam release.

Gonna give her a test drive with your settings.
Edit: some photo comparisons. I believe I've uploaded in the proper order so as to tell which camera is which.

Have to say, video in the dark compared to photo is awful on the 8pro camera, be er noticed it before , Superb in the day but at night it's pants.
Thanks for adding this..will give it a shot. Cheers
Edit: installed, working well. Will test tonight.
Never seen that photosphere before, that's nifty. Anyway to actually view them images though? Gallery just shows like half an image.
Great camera though

Hi, thank you for your feedback and for adding those pictures, interesting to compare. As you can see, contrasts are slightly boosted, which results in a bit darker photos, something you can counterbalance to some extent by adding +2 brightness in your settings. It depends on people's preference though, and I personally tend to prefer photos with more contrasts in general, which makes them look a bit more 'dramatic'.
But where this GCam will shine compared to the stock app is definitely in low-light / night-time scenarios, so I invite you to compare both apps and check the results carefully. You should be able to see how vastly superior GCam app is, in terms of noise, dark areas coming back to life, details. As some say, it's like switching on the light in the middle of the night, but better see by yourself

I have another GCam version and if this one is like the one I use it's great in low light compared to stock. It's not even comparable at how bad stock is (everything is red).

Ive used any gcam but i found stock always better...on any condition..
Or maybe you have a magic gcam

EIS is not working on this mod, only OIS.

Any reason why pictures not showing.
Just show a black background

Use the new Google camera instead of the stock Sony camera?

Google just released a new camera app on the play store and it works for every device that has KitKat, have you guys tried it? How are you liking it? Can you still take 4k videos with it? How's the quality of the images? Can you take 16:9 or just 4:3 pictures?
www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/16/breaking-google-releases-stock-camera-app-to-the-play-store/
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
You can only take 4:3 photos with that app......I wouldn't recommend using it.
I think that app is really for nexus 5 users who were (understandably) appalled at the sub-standard cam app that came with that handset.
You'll get the best results with sony's home-grown app. The software algorithms will be optimised for the z2's sensor.
Also, as always, for best results one needs to familiarze themselves with manual control (i.e. ISO and white balance)...which that app completely lacks..... so it's pretty useless for Z2 users in my opinion.
Google's Kitkat camera SUCKS! And it's one of the biggest reasons why I changed my phone.
Does anyone know if the camera app can be installed separately? Because I'm definitely not planning on using the stock ROM any longer than I really have to, but the camera seems really nice.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently someone already did the work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667341
EDIT2: Apparently it only works with the stock ROM *sigh*
Just tried it last night, while it may not be a bad camera app I don't think it fares anywhere near the stock Sony camera. Too limited in functions. It will be great for Nexus users though.

Yeah, that's why I'm afraid of, and it sounds logical, Sony's app will be tailored to the phone, anyway google's camera app was released just yesterday so there's room for improvement, let's hope for the best, I'm sure more options will be added in the future.
By the way you can tweak the white balance, you just need to enable the option on settings (weird )

No no, that's the white balance for the SCREEN.
There is a camera white balance that should be adjusted dependant on what lighting conditions you're shooting in. I haven't seen the Z2's options, but it should have the usual four: Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent & Incandescent.
They actually make a significant difference to the colour tones and how similar to the reality of the scene your shot ends up looking. In my experience phone cameras CAN NOT be trusted to calculate this correctly themselves (and I used to have a lumia 1020!).
Yeah this nexus app will be good for the n5 crowd but you're never going to get as good shots with an app like that (or apple's) without having the ability (and learning) to alter ISO and white balance manually.
Of course in proper photography the shutter speed and aperture are also important but unfortunately it's very hard to control these given the current CMOS limitations in phone implementation.

I'm not sure but maybe you could take 16:9 shots if you decreased the resolution to 8 MP? Like in manual mode, you can only take 4:3 shots in 20.7 MP so I think the app is taking photos with the maximum resolution and that's why it's 4:3

[Camera Tweaks] Increased Camera: Audio video images quality as note3

Hi everybody I want to share this mod I made following the next thread:How to increase camera stats
All I made, after some testings, increase almost all values regarding to camera quality(encoder decoder audio video and image), and set it up as high as Note 3. The results are good, as I saw.
10/08/14 v1:
I doubled the audio quality from 128kbs to 256 kbps for all resolutions. High resolution is up to 288kbps
Increased video bitrate
Increased image bitrate
I able support to wmv and wma
I set estero channel to recording for all resolutions
Increased back and front camera values
And many more goodies I don't remember
11/08/14 v1.3:
Increased a little bit more bitrate values according to video
increased a little bit image quality. I think it's the max possible, but I keep trying to increasing it, to see any difference.
14/08/14 v1.5:
Increased audio quality to 320kbps
Re-adjusted values
added different FPS mod versions
--This is version #1 because I didn't increase all the low values. I installed it in my own phone, and everything is working superb.
Next release I will try to set it higher, as S5 and see what happens, if it's working or not. But by now we have achieve something good.--
Here are some previews: here you can see a little differences regarding to standard values vs. increased ones. Using HDR - strong. Stock Note 2 camera! I realize that after made the modifications the pic is more weighty. I hope you can see the difference in the previews, because I have to low the quality to upload it faster, in tinypic. Sorry.

I didn't test the flashable zip, I only moved the file to "/system/etc" using root explorer and setting permissions, but you tell me.
The idea brings to my head, after testing S5 camera. When you open camera you can see an image super clear and in a higher quality, but when you take a pic, the quality was lower.
TO DEVS: PLEASE BEFORE YOU TAKE ANYTHING, PLEASE ASK ME FOR PERSMISSION. IT TOOK ME A SUNNY DAY TO MAKE IT.
REMEMBER THAT THIS WIILL NOT MAKE ANY MAGIC JAJAJA BUT WE HAVE SOMETHING ALREADY
ENJOY AND HAVE FUN!!
THANKS!
Will it work on 4.1.2 roms?
I will try. I use DN3 v5.2
Great work @Austtin
I was for so long looking for a way to get better camera quality, because I don't know why but after the camera firmware update within the 4.3 the camera quality seemed lower than 4.1.2.
It was more of a disaster to take pictures and I can't carry my cameras everywhere.
So thanks a lot.
Wish something like this could be done on AOSP too, the picture quality isn't as good as touchwiz

yeah, I read that it could be placebo. But increasing the bitrate, the image is more weighty. taken the same pic, at the same place and same thing it increase from 2.xx mb to 5.xx mb. So it should increase the quality. The increasing of audio is something real, you can notice the bitrate when you play some sound recorded using camera. And in 480p I increase the (don't remember exactly I should check it) the heigh or width too. In a few days gonna see if I can add support for 4k pics, or if it gives me some forceclose or issue. And also I want to increase the camera values as high as S5, and then test and try again the s5 camera, and how it looks. I think some modification of the camera app, should be done. So this is the beginning.

Guys!! this is really amazing, take a look at this photo I just take: it's about 5pm here in my country, and using the day light (sun light, not the inside of my home) the pic looks really really great. Now we can compare to the photo taken before. In the previews 1 of the pics was taken during day(with sun light-I'm not talking about the camera effect if not the light of the day or sun jaja), and the other one was taken during night inside of my home using artificial light, the ones inside of your home (sorry I'm still not good enought with my english), so now I can confirm that this's really working!! the bad thing (or contra) is that now the pic is kind heavy weight (about 5 mb) but the quality is higher as you can see. I rather higher quality and weighty pic than poor quality.
that's why 1 of the pics looks kinda yellow and the other one looks whiter.. in OP

Knight at first sight of your file, I can see some differences between your values and even sammy ones. For example, in lower res you have 3gp as video file format, and in sammy we have mp4. And many more differences, but I can adjust it for you and AOSP users. Let me check and I increase all values. The bad thing is that I'm not on AOSP rom, so I can't test by myself
I don't know what could happen if I change the file format, but at first I can play with values, leaving the rest as you have, and then you can test.
I'll test out and report.
It's 2 am in the morning here, so I guess it would be better if I go to sleep, hahaha
But don't worry, try making both version and I'll test it out thoroughly. I can deal with the errors and all. In always keep a backup of my needed stuff on a daily basis, so nothing can stop me from being a mad flashaholic

It's just ready, download it. It's not heavy weight file. it's 211kb zip file!
edit: I increase it as note 3 values, in sammy and, now with your help, aosp. Notice that the pic is more weight than before. In the next days I'm gonna try to increase values as S5, and even see if I can config the correct values to use s5 camera. It's all a matter of give it a try and test.
I try stock note2 and s5 camera, the result: I can assure you, note 2 stock camera is taking better quality photos, after my configs, than s5 on my phone. So I think to use s5 camera, and take photos with a high quality, it needs some configs to do. I'm really enjoying note 2 camera, with this tweaks. The photos are more clear, and are more detailed, than before. I surprised by myself. I realize about it, when I make zoom in photos in gallery app.

(Portrait/night sight) Google Camera Port Fully Working!

Hey Guys!
After trying many Google Camera ports and playing with the settings I found 1 which is pretty stable, so far everything seems to work (if not please respond and I'll update the OP).
How to install and apply my settings :
Download the app from here (Not my port, credits to the original Dev) :
Better version, quality improves but slower with starting the camera. Faster processing!
Old version, slow at processing. But starts much faster (2sec difference)
Download my config.xml (New config from 10 March) :
config for the new version (11March)
Config for the old version (10March)
After downloading both files do this :
1. Install the GCam port (like a normal apk, no root or anything is needed)
2. Copy the config.xml to /Internal Storage/GCam/Configs (if this folders don't exist, you should create them yourself)
3. Open GCam and allow the permissions
4. Double tap somewhere in the down (next to the shutter button
5. Now a menu should popup asking you for a config
6. Press restore
7. Enjoy your GCam!
Share your pictures in this thread
When I'll have time I'll add pictures (comparing stock with GCam)

If you can PM me some pictures (Stock vs. GCam), I'd wanna include some in the OP to show people that the quality really improves.
In my eyes :
GCam gives richer colors and less noise (especially in low light situations)
Thanks already!
Is night sight working? I'd love to see some pictures that please! See how much it improves the quality.

I'll today go out and about and will click a few pictures for comparing stock and GCam. Please wait for that
And I'm interested in how she behaves in the night shooting

Here's a example of how Night sight works with GCam vs Stock Moto camera.
Stock got the watermark in the left down corner
GCam doesn't have any watermark
Both were without flash
Pretty impressive!
Is there any way I can control the shutter speed in gcam? I shoot a lot of sports and I would love if I get sharp photos with moving objects.

You can try it with mine for the G7 Plus, I can't create one for the G7 because I do not have this particular phone. The only downside could be that taking a picture is a bit slower due to the Snapdragon 632 (G7P got the 636). But in general it should be working.
Let me know if it works, if so I'll add this to the OP ^^
Thanks!
Some example photos
I have tested this mod on my new 7+ and have to say the results are very good. I tested just the Night Sight and a few photospheres as the stock moto cam is probably best for everyday use in everything else - fast and easy to handle, great picture quality. However in some situations there is not such a big improvement at night with the mod - it really depends on the ambient lights and their uniformness in the scene.
Lets see:
Round one https://photos.app.goo.gl/qnfYeXaD4fgGagNTA, https://photos.app.goo.gl/wxNK9MAqQ1ShPSXL8 (taken with phone on solid support )
Round two https://photos.app.goo.gl/2pxSHSteaE64sHoNA, https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ygc4ZsDDcNNCZEeXA (taken with phone on solid support )
Round three https://photos.app.goo.gl/ATs2x7UnAyrsJot99 (just handheld; no stock image in this case)
Round four https://photos.app.goo.gl/x9yCfcdoKbWo78Sc8, https://photos.app.goo.gl/9pzQGJa4DXgLs3hp8 (handheld)
Round five https://photos.app.goo.gl/Kif1YWhRt6bCACG99, https://photos.app.goo.gl/HL4LKe9c9yQddZk3A (taken with phone on solid support)
(first is always stock automatic, second is gcam with settings from the xml file)
I have also noticed that the camera name in google photos viewer is different for both camera apps which is very good because it allows to distinguish
And yes, the photospheres struggle with straight lines (which is to be expected, as the distortions in handheld shooting angles are substantial). Otherwise they are of better or worse quality, depends on how one looks at them - a few examples:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/PEDWhbpbWpio33G98, https://photos.app.goo.gl/ACmzBHdkgkTHXAD48, https://photos.app.goo.gl/EFhJq4zvSuCqcHji8
Regarding the photospheres I wouldn't mind if they were of higher quality even if the shooting and processing takes more time (maybe some setting?) and the file will be larger. The processing happens in the backgroud anyway.
I really appreciathe the work that was done here! :good::good:

Processing takes long because our processor will do the job, and we got a SD 6xx SoC so it will take a bit longer then a 8xx SoC. But like you told, it will work in the background
I tweaked the settings to get the maximum quality without having to wait like 10 seconds when taking the pictures. I can make it process faster, but this will be a lose of the quality, it is personal preference
If you want me to make a config like that I'd be more then happy to do so ^^

So, if you managed to extract maximum that is possible (at whatever computational cost) than I'm happy with it Personally I don't mind waiting those 10 seconds, it's not everyday that one shoots photospheres and even so you don't usually need 20 of them in one minute.
Maybe if the mod creator added some setting so the user can decide by himself if they prefer speed or quality and they dont need to load up a configf file each time

First of all, I am not the creator of this port. I clearly stated this in the OP, I just made these configs and shared the download links. If you load the config once your set up and don't have to load it anymore, unless you play with the settings and want to revert it like before.
Short :
Install apk, set config and you're all set. Next time you'll open the camera config is already loaded.
Works very good! Thank you!

Super resolution camera! (take 48mp or 96mp+ photos)

Hello you all!
I always look for the best posible resources to squeeze more from my phone. In this case I was looking for ways to improve even more the great camera the Poco has and so I searched the internet for super resolution applications (cameras) possible of taking multiple photos at once and then averaging them to create a higher resolution image the sensor is capable of taking, with less noise and more detail.
So I came across this old page where some scientific-like group called Almarvi has an imaging department dedicated to photography processing and there it was an super resolution demo app ( a camera app) capable of testing the algorithms of super resolution directly on Android. For those who knows about this technic, normally it is done with Photoshop o gimp, needing a computer to do so.
So I'm happy to share with you this discovery I made, I couldn't find any blog posts about it or even Reddit nor here in xda.
The app is really basic, pretty unstable, and sometimes it closes, but I must say: In various situations it beated the Google Camera port in term of details and lesser noise.
What it does is take multiple photos (you can choose how much, but normally I suggest you use less than 20), then you can preview a small crop to see the final result and adjust sharpness (as well as changing mode to median or mean, and using averaged colours or not). After the processing, you end up with a 48mp averaged photo (if choosen x2 factor, 96mp x3, etc!!)
I leave the link where you can download it for free
http://zoi.utia.cas.cz/mobilesr
I think is pretty good for taking still landscape photography or non moving subjects. Gcam is still gcam, but this app if used well can give a sharper and best looking image.
All this been said, I found more than 96mp (x3) is not worthy because of the file size and image doesn't improve more than 48mp.
Sorry for the long post, but I think this is a very rare app, people should know it exists besides the well known gcam.
Try it and tell me, and remember, steady hands!U
Update: You can change exposure value with the volume rockers !
To clarify, it creates a real 48mp image (or more), I tested zooming in and you can zoom deeper comparing to gcam, and you can check the information of the photo to see the dimensions. When zooming in you can see less compression and better details than gcam in most situations, difference is very clear when you see it in a computer screen.
It works. How to make it bigger than 48mp?

Touch the 3 dots in the bottom right corner to open the menu, and touch in "SR factor" to change it, 2.0 is 48mp, 3.0 would make an 109mp image, you won't notice much of a difference though but is fun having such large image (use 10 or less photos or it will close probably)
It mention it uses yuv format acquired images, thought poco wasn't able tu produce this kind of images because of lack of full level 3 camera api

Pretty good results (see picture), but at 100% the quality betrays this technology. Anyway, there is place to improving. I'll follow this thread.

Yes, it's pretty limited since you can't zoom or change the exposure for example, but I think it is useful for some special situations, like a landscape
This app still work in progres or not? Probably have update?

It looks like it won't be updated because the app is basically just a demo they used to test the super resolution algorithm they created, is a shame because it's the best implementation I could find on a mobile phone, and any phone with camera 2api enabled could improve a lot their photo quality with this app, specially those who don't have a gcam port. I tested the app a lot , for several months, and I've found that In terms of quality it beats the gcam most of the times, but it doesn't mean it produces a better photo, gcam is well know for taking great looking photos in just one click, but if you zoom in and compare the two photos side by side you will see this app bringing a lot more detail and less compression artifacts, noise is in several cases equal or less than gcam aswell.
In the end, I want it to share because it's another good option, and maybe if someone wants to print their photos taken with their phones then this app will help a lot thanks to the super resolution

Actually the gcam port is not 100% functional, for example it doesn't have a working "photo booth" or "top shot" specifically because the pocophone camera drivers won't support yuv format which is needed for said features

Are you sure? I know there are features missing but that doesn't mean necessarily that it can't take yuv photos, at least in this app I can, there is an option to save yuv files and they appear in my files when I take the photo, I think this app only works using yuv pictures to make the super resolution, if Poco doesn't support them then this app should throw some error (like the one you get if you try this application on devices without camera 2 api enabled.) Please check that information

EDIT: I accidentally found how to change exposure values in this app but I think it isn't working, only works for the preview but no in the final image, by using the volume rockers.
EDIT 2: I tried again this time activating the option use lowest iso possible and then you can adjust exposure using volume rockers!, it changes the shutter speed, so now it only lacks zoom and a better stability, but pretty good alternative and best of all free!

It might be the best of the free apps but is there a paid app better than this one?

Guys, the app is good. I tested it thoroughly and tested also the upscaling of Photoshop, which is far worse than SuRmob's.
My example of SuRmob capture: link.
The upscaled Gcam picture using Photoshop's best algoritms: link.
And because my rebel neurons wanted to test also the result from RAW picture upscaled using Photoshop, I also made a collage with two crops (100% scale) with SuRmob result vs RAW jpg upscaled with PS. See it attached in the link below.
Those who got bad results I advice them to let default settings. I only modified ISO (to low), 10 captures instead of 5 and never use sharpness over 3.

I searched everywhere, but in Android this is the best I could find. The only one paid app that does this is cortex camera, but I tried it and it hangs when trying to take well lit scenarios, it's really buggy and abandoned in early stages by the dev, but in iOS there are 3 cameras, the same cortex (much better than Android and updated one), Hydra and other one I can't remember.

Exactly, those are the settings I recommend too. After months of testing it I can say you need to experiment with it to get the best results, but the best about this camera I think is the far more natural looking photos it produces, and very noticeable quality improvement when looking on bigger screens or printed.
I also tested against raw and gcam and, while gcam is still the preferred choice in a lot of cases, when needing take a more detailed photo or cropping I use this app, so, the best I think is to leave it installed and use it when you like it.
This was my secret app so show some love , I think is a really great discovery, not only for this device, but for everyone with camera2 API, I think if xda developers found this app they would write a post about it because it is really good
Isn't this the same as almalence's "Super" mode in thrir "a better camera" app? Never tried that app on the Poco, but I think that app checks the devicename in the build.prop regarding the super mode. This feature was only available for the Nexus 5 and a few other devices, so probably "Super" mode won't show up on the Poco. Anyway, thanks for the demo app link!

Detailed info I found on Google for the app:
What is the lib patcher?​Libpatcher - is a custom setting where you can set all the settings to your liking
Radius Temporal changes the graininess of the image by affecting noise, the higher the image is more blurry and less noise, the lower the more noisy, but more detail
Tone Curve is where you can adjust dark points, white points, shadows, highlights. It is recommended to enable and leave the default values or tweak them (advanced users)
Sharpness allows you to control the sharpness of the image. Zoom in for low-light shots, and zoom out for selfies.
Luminance Noise Reduction is what controls the “graininess” in images caused by high ISO. Decrease it to get more detail at the expense of high noise, or increase it if the noise is unacceptable to you
Color Noise Reduction: Controls color spots. There is usually no need to adjust it as this will not improve the quality, but you can increase it slightly if you see colored spots in the dark. Too much chroma noise can cause a decrease in saturation. Also known as color noise. Be careful with this setting it can mess with the fine details of an image.
Contrast settings allow you to control the contrast of the image. Increase it if you want darker shadows, and decrease it to make it brighter is the general idea. This is again a personal preference
Saturation is what allows you to control the saturation of the image. Increase it if you want more saturated colors in your photos. Obviously decrease if your HDR is getting too saturated. This is again a personal preference
Now there are some advanced settings. These affect the morphological processing. Naturally thats a very basic overview. I took the course while finishing up my engineering degree. It was difficult stuff past the basic level. I wont get into what these settings do beyond a decent generalization.
Warning to all these settings can absolutely have a drastic negative effect on your images. A lot of testing would be necessary by the end user​Luminance noise reduction levels
Level 1 (Detail) changes the photo very slightly, slightly smoothing out small elements in the image.
Level 2 (Rough Surfaces) seriously alters the image by smoothing grain
Level 3 (Edges) doesn’t change much. Smooths edges slightly
Level 4 (Smooth Surfaces) radically alters the image by making it posterized by smoothing out large areas of the same color. Avoid magnification over 1.0
Color noise reduction levels
Level 1 (Detail) fine textures, but the same applies to rough details
Level 2 (Rough surfaces) fine textures, but the same applies to rough details
Level 3 (Edges) Edges are mainly defined by the contrast between one object and another
Level 4 (Smooth Surfaces) Smooth surfaces are generally uniform areas of the image. Like wallpaper with few small details
​Tips:​If you notice a certain color of spots on your low light photos. Check its frequency spectrum. Look where its at in the photo and go to the specific wavelet reduction setting and tweak it. See if you can remove it. More often than not these settings are used to improve astrophotography, low light and high detail images.
My sensor has more higher frequency color noise than others. Ive seen some XDA users where they had to turn down denoise. It really all depends on a lot of stuff. Its fun to tweak and squeeze out what you can.
YMMV​Will post occasional pics displaying some of the modded apps performance on occasion​Why didnt your wavelet settings work for me​
Factors that affect settings
Your phone
When it was made
The chip itself
The silicon in your sensor
Ambient weather conditions
The image processing firmware on the Pixel Visual Core
Other properties of silicon unique and intrinsic to your device
FAQ​Why are your colors listed as frequencies?
Light is an electromagnetic phenomenon and as an RF engineer its easier for me to refer to spectra as a frequency but one could easily refer to it in wavelengths or color (but color wont be accurate as thats up to perception)
What are wavelets?
A wavelet is how we define a center frequency and some deviation. We use wavelets because a color is not just one frequency its a range see here : Spectral color - Wikipedia 10 Its also an entire subset of mathematics used by anyone who works with the spectrum (i.e RF engineers, optical engineers (fiber stuff), biomedical engineers). They are helpful because we can take the average of a color spectrum (say blues) and convolve it with the signal to find the center frequency of blue or the blues in a subset (image). It basically the magic behind the IM processing math.

Just tried a sample of my night time “light bleed” mode and its okay. It still need more tweaking but heres an example of what tweaking your denoise settings can do. The image is far better than a stand night photograph (even with some longer exposure)
Keep in mind you wont remove all the noise. In fact it sometimes takes noise to remove or smooth noise (dithering). Dithering is a process where we add a bit of noise to a data set in an attempt to constructively perturb the signals we want to convolve, isolate and amplify over the average.

I forgot exactly where on here I read and applied these settings via lib patcher, but with these settings, detail is far greater preserved than stock cam. there is a bit of noise but the detail preserved is worth it to me. the over the top denoise and sharpening is really evident on pets. give these settings a shot and lemme know if you can figure out how to preserve the detail with less noise!
first pic stock. 2nd gcam w settings posted previous to this post.. heavy noise and detail loss on stock. lil bit more noise but much greater detail preservation.
Can someone explain to me how to restore a xml i saved earlier? Thanks

Stock looks better. Too much noise on other.
even in great lighting situations, the stock cam denoises so much and loses so much detail in post processing.. for me, the little extra noise in low light is well worth it. I'm trying to find some pics of another dog outside and it's really evident how much post processing stock gcam has regardless of available light, but I may take more later. you can always play with the lib patcher to increase/decrease post processing
I have tried to increase the details to the max, and the mod does exactly what it is supposed to do, increases details and increases noise
It is now time to look for the best compromise. But I think the Google denoising algorithm is not so bad, I have seen far worth on Huawei phones
Why on my stock Pixel 6 the lib patcher options don't show up? It needs root?

I am not root. In the settings, goes to Mod Settings and you should see a Lip-Patcher option, above the gestures

Sorry it's completely my fault, I installed the wrong mod now it works except for the faces based autofocus which crash the app. Any workaround for this?
I got it to become the sorta default camera. I copied all the files from the new gcam into the original gcams app folder meaning install new gcam and then copy it's contents over. I
made a backup of the stock camera and opening stock apk now is the new gcam. I am trying to get self illumination working on the face unlock app lol haven't been able to get tnsg working yet. Edit I removed the gcam because face unlock app was messing up.

if you're taking photos of stationary objects, I find the best results paired w the mods I posted earlier, and changing the max amt of frames HDR Enhanced mode uses to 25. then use HDR enhanced as opposed to just HDR+. takes a second to capture won't work well with moving objects but takes a lot of noise out
I tried with Nyolsson's settings and it is a very nice compromise
