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

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?

[PORT][19/12/2015][V 2.14][Mi3/Mi4] ColorOS Camera

Hi Guys,
ColorOS camera is a really good camera app coming from oppo find7 device. It include a lot of features using plugins.
Actually a port for 1+1 device exists, you can install this port but you'll get really low resolution pictures.
So I took this port and modified it with the help of the original dev @BOOTMGR (a huge thanks!) to fit Xiaomi Mi3/Mi4 camera resolution (13.1MPx instead of 13MPx).
As Camera apps with custom roms gives bad quality this app improves photography experience a lot!
Working features :
-Video (480p, 720p, 720p slow motion, 1080p, 4K)
-Some plugins (Double exposure, Expert mode with manual controls -except manual focus, still working on it-, GIF camera)
-Front Camera
-Incredible fast burst mode up to 60 pictures (keep shutter button pressed)
-Changing resolution
-HDR now thanks to @linuxxxx
Not working features :
-Some plugins (50MPx shots, Panorama, Beautify, Slow shutter, RAW Capture, refocus mode)
-Tracking focus
-More than 2s exposure with Mi3 (Hardware limitation)
To do :
-fixing improper preview that is 16:9 with 13MPx instead of 4:3 (really hard) that shoud fix incorrect thumbnail size (thumbnail are deformated)
How to install? :
Install OppoCamera2.xx.apk as normal apk
Install plugins as normal apk (I'll provide only working plugins, and some that I'm unsure)
Inside camera app if plugins are not present clic on the circles (bottom left) and add them within "Camera Shop"
Changelog :
2.14
-Finally totally get rid of the camera autoclose setting
-Added a new version for Ivan's AOSP Marshmallow rom as max resolution was different than lollipop, previous version lead to 170x146 output picture size (Correct capture preview size/ratio)
2.13
-Removed auto close setting as it wasn't doing anything
-Set default auto close to 24H (as 3 minutes was not enough for a time lapse)
-Added Timed Shots steps ( 1000 2000 3000 4000 pictures and removed some small numbers, just kept one that can be useful for group pictures and added higher values for time lapse)
-Added Time Delay (to allow long exposure time lapse, example 9s for 8s exposure)
-Creating a new apk that set jpegquality to 85% for both normal and fast burst shot filename is OppoCamera_2.13_jpeg85.apk
2.12
-Fix crash that was occuring when you close and reopen the app.
-Removed denoise option as it wasn't doing anything
2.11
-Bug Fixes from Infinityplus
-Added Wavelet Noise reduction toggle (need some tests)
-removed redeye reduction toggle as it’s not working (always double flash even when disabled)
-removed chroma flash as it’s not working (took comparision with MIUI chroma flash)
-change ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag) toggle comportment to work without closing and opening the app again. Now it need just a dumb capture to disable or enable the option (can’t do more)
2.1
- Rebased to latest ColorOS app
- UI tweaked for smoother response
- Added latest changes from andriman's app
- Added a few fixes from bootmgr
- All plugins updated to latest versions.
- Filter plugin preview bug fixed

2.04
-Max burst mode capture set to 60 pictures (speed is around 6 capture per second)
-Default back camera resolution set to 2Mpx to avoid small output resolution on Mi3
2.03
-Chroma Flash toggle added (testing)
-Tap shutter toggle added (tap screen to focus and imediately capture a picture without touching shutter button)
-Set jpeg quality to 100% for normal capture mode (instead of 85% wich is system default value) and fastburst mode (instead of 75%, tested it doesn't makes fast burst slower), pictures are bigger but better quality
-Removed some useless icon (like ISO HJR)
2.02
-Switched to @infinityplus port from @andriman tweaked Oppo app : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/coloros-camera-port-t3034148 More option, more toggle in quick setting, smaller apk
-Added some resolution for front camera
-Antibanding Feature
-Video quality setting

Link :
GDrive folder
For latest Marshmallow rom users HDR might not work anymore with this app, you can flash this zip (and each time you update your rom) to get it back working with this app and Snap Camera (it will break AOSP camera and Marshmallow google camera, but still work on Lollipop google camera.
This zip also detete ZSL forced off for other shot than HDR, so you can use this setting again.
Here is the link : GDrive
All credit goes to @BOOTMGR for this thread and his very appreciated help.

Weird it works for me, maybe because Mi3 and Mi4 have different sensors.
Edit : see screens hit for next version, possibility to set picture resolution. Will try to get more stuff working.

Btw I'm still a newbie with app edition.
Edit : can someone else test and report. I may have made a bad modification in one translation file.
Edit 2 : try to change your system language (exact English, from us, UK...?) . And tell me which one you're using. I may know where error comes from.

Make sure the resampling is enabled.
"Experimental Settings:

The image is postprocessed (interpolated to 13 mpx) check the taken photo size. Yes, interpolated but is still better than 8MPX.
Camera front
when taking a photo with the front camera it looks like blurry and ugly, even with the hdr + or without the. and the portrait mode looks fuzzy and purple or green
Thanks
This one is more snappier and more optimized than the previous GCam 5.1 i used
Slow motion doesn't work but I'm fine with that
Most of the fancy stuff like manual focus, HDR+, Portrait and Lens Blur does work
Edit: the Built-in camera app does have slow motion, so there's that

You're welcome.
It seems there isn't setting to change save location of the picture(or video).
It use internal memo, kinda need to save space.
Is there any method to change the save location ?
Works great. Thanks for the recommended settings. Much appreciated.

Working Gcam 6 with manual focus and long exposure!

Mar 12th, 2019
So it has been awhile since I tinker with Gcam, and now that I have finished the modding of it and no longer have my Mix 3, I will upload the final copy of Gcam. As usual thanks to everyone from defcomg, cstark27, san1tyy, xtreme, bsg, zoran.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rBUkxfz2IlG_0SGaTlJ2G6mL-16Bx8LY
Changelog:
-added corrected black level for most shots. Bl corrected for 1/30 shutter so you will have slight tint on slow shutter at extreme low light conditions.
-modified xlib2 to remove tint, and noise
-new menu and icons
Bugs:
-sometimes hdr+ enhanced at 40 frames or 36 frames will not save the first shot, but shot afterwards will save. Tried to find a fix but cannot so use lower frames for most stability, ie.. 25 or so.
Feb 7th, 2019
Update: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IKGyubiBrdqWVp_gQfmTLaA8HErtoyk7
-added lens blur mode courtesy of san1tyy to take picture of objects and animals
Recommended settings:
-Rear camera set to Pixel 3 XL
-Processing set to 2018 zslr hdr+
-set frames to 40 for min and max for best low light shot (will take some time to process), or set to 20 for both for quick shots
-hdr+ enhance and night sight set min iso compensation to 1/3 or 1/4 s for best shot, but hands have to be still as possible
-exposure compensation to +0.6
-chose Xlib for lib choice
So several have stated that shutter isn't working on global rom, and some other Mix flagship such as Mix 2/2S doesn't work so with help from san1tyy, metadata was cleaned up and should be working now
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hu9tm0ZSMI3F645rSr2wXq3HhMRP5DUp
Feb 4th, 2019
After bunch of trials and error, lib modding here and there, finally got a working stable version with some new changes with help from Zoran, Savitar, Xtreme, and San1tyy . Lib modding for awb using different calibrations from various devices would not play nice due to either unsaturated or nuclear saturation, especially from S9 series, so I just left it stock for now. Here's the new apk: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1scOaLD8_eeZEdlaR6q1lCXzUSLtb6miB
Changes:
-added compensation exposure
-new lib (Xlib) with sharpened decreased
-frames changed to 40 instead of 45 due to exif cache size error and won't save image
-qc color awb works finally without the yellow tint, thanks big time to Savitar
-UI changes
enjoy guys and donation are welcome so I can get more devices to work on. Paypal: [email protected]
The iso slider had an issue, and wouldn't capture. Also sabre and pixel 3 awb was not included so this version is updated to include it
https://drive.google.com/open?id=11ORyhdqIjFXNlZFsdfA0NDEW8auU3aNr
So sliders had some issue of not triggering for both iso and focus. After multiple test trials, san1tyy and defcomg pulled through again and got it working! APK is also cleaned up to only include Edzman v3, savitar v2, and stock google libs. Enjoy guys.

Make sure you are on the latest global beta from Xiaomi, or the latest beta from xiaomi.eu for camera not to lag in viewfinder and processing HDR+. This mod is based on BSG's latest version with working telephoto lens. Thanks to the great defcomg, xtreme and san1tyy over at telegram, here are the changes:
-added 45 frames, and 50 frames. The 50 frames will cause viewfinder to flicker like crazy but it does works.
-removed ISO limit of 9600 because stock camera can go up to 19000+ iso
-long exposure added for up to 32 seconds in hdr+ enhanced and night sight
-manual focus sliders and exposure sliders
Slo motion should work, motion photo do not work because of lib issue from xiaomi. For configs, use Pixel XL for rear camera, processing use 2018 zlsr+, front camera can use Pixel 3 XL. Using Pixel XL gives correct awb vs Pixel 3 XL which gives a true to life color at night time with low lighting (ie.. 5 to 10 lux).

global rom will do this, you need to be on global beta or xiaomi.eu rom or chinese beta rom
Any news on the global stable update?
I find the Xiaomi forums a pain to navigate otherwise would check myself heh.
Hi xterminater07, Thanks for your work! Its impressive! I use this version of gcam for my LG G6 and works great but I have some doubts about the 32s long exposure. Could you tell me what file inside the gcam package can I modify to try other configurations? I decompile the apk but I cant find where the parameters are for the amount of seconds depending on the lux. Thanks!!!
PD: Sorry for my bad english
All the lags and slowness disappeared after the latest global update (received the ota and updated an hour ago), now when I tried night Sight, taking multiple shots in a row etc etc there are no lags whatsoever anymore for me!
I was just about to flash the EU rom to fix the lags but no need anymore!

Does any one find that you have to tap twice on the camera button to take a pic? Very annoying
Thanks for this great port! Is it possible to implement the option that the portrait photos wont be saved in a separate folder? In the port for Pocophone it is...
Thank you again!
How do I enable the telephoto lens?
Sorry, just figured it out. Enable Aux camera in BSG settings, then double tap change camera icon (the one to change to front camera). It changes from back normal > front > back telephoto.

Does portrait mode work on your Mix 3? When i select portrait it zooms-in and only makes one photo while it says 'burst images'. When i disable zoom on portrait the only thing that seems to change is the zoom, but no acutal portrait shot. Well.. it seems the same as a normal photo

I noticed that it does not work for small objects, but works well with people. I guess the subject has to be far enough for portrait mode to actually work.
Regarding the telephoto lens, there seems to be no noise reduction applied to it, unlike the main lens. This results in very grainy photos especially during the night. Can you add noise reduction, or an option for it for both lenses in the settings? Thanks

have you tried clicking on the resulting image, if you open it, you will see a blurred one and the non-blurred editions.
so the resulting image is like a folder that when you open, it will have the blurred edition inside it.
Ive discovered that the newest Gcam port from the Pocophone thread also works on our Mix 3! It has more options like save in camera folder when taking portrait shots and so on... Everything works, is there any downside using it?

Working GCAM for Snapdragon w/ Telephoto!

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.

Thanks for this however how do I know if the XML file you posted is the one that's actually being used
I have downloaded this but nightsight doent work but the base camera does. Some of the other features crash the app. Im using s10+ snap.

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

Google Camera Port Info - Share your findings/photos!

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

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.
