Worth using the Gcam vs stock Moto camera?

With a hell lot of beta versions of gcam being developed daily of different variants, I just wanted to know if it's really worth a shot flashing a custom Oreo ROM and using those Gcams, instead of stock Moto Camera. What are your thoughts?

For me, not really, instead i use snap camera hdr , that app give me better results than gcam but gcam has a faster hdr algorithm that can be essencial for fast moving objects for example, or fast pictures snap. The autofocus of gcam never worked that well for me, but the portrait worked very well. On custom rom you lose slowmotion.

Dude don't listen to this duncan dude. gcam is amazing now. focus is just as good as stock camera and the picture quality is miles ahead. even portrait mode works perfectly fine. the only thing is front portrait is noisy on most camera apps. but the results from back camera are comparable to iphone 7 and s8 and pixel.(seriously- cuz g5 plus uses same sensor as pixel 2)

That sounds great, my sister has a G5 Plus and she always complains about the camera, can you tell me which rom/gcam version can give you those results?
Thanks.

RR ROM or validus or aex
I personally use crdroid

I am using gcam and it is worth a shot. Pictures are amazing using gcam. EIS also improved a lot for videos. The only drawback is slo-mo videos. Hopefully it will be fixed with upcoming Oreo update for g5 plus.......

Wow thanks for this, the pixel2mod v6 beta 11 is the first Google Camera I've found with fully working auto focus. It's also extremely stable, it hasn't crashed yet.

I had Gcam in RR but Slow motion and Paranoma didn't work
The only Benefit of Gcam over Moto cam is Portrait mode
its really good
but due to Volte Issues I had to move to Stock rom.
you can give a Try to Gcam to RR, Worked good for me

Some issues with GCam on Zenfone Max pro M1

GCam is working fine most of the times. I am using the latest recommended version V5.1 that requires no set up. Images are great albeit quite some noise, however my main issue is with evening shots like taking sunsets,the lower left corner exhibits ugly pink noisey vignetting and the whole image has a slight pink hue to it. I have enabled the toggle in the settings to fix this pink hue issue but it still persists. Please help me fix this. May be recommend another version.

Hi, I flashed pico Gapps and HDR mode doesn't work. Taking pictures goes well. How to resolve this problem?
And It works at HavocOS 26.11.18 ROM. From some verison and up, it doesn't work- no update works. It is on different custom ROMS too. How to fix it?
I'm using V8.3build of GCAM. :/

Idk. But the pixel 3 mod usually have sizes around 100mb ig. what u r talking about includes ports such as pixel 2 mod. This one also has more features maybe thats y it has bigger size. Anyway always check it before u try and always try at your own risk.

[APP] [PIE] [Mi5] Stable Google Camera

Hi everyone!
I was looking for the most stable Gcam for my Mi5 (Gemini) and didn't find newest post about it.
On testing here, GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2 shows better results and more stable.
Link to download: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk
But it is based on Pixel 2, without Night Sight.
The newest release by Arnova8G2 (GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556.apk) is really slowly and spend a lot of battery.
There is other bugs on Tolyan009 too (MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun.apk), like purple photos with NS and Noise Reduction. Other bug is green and dark photos from front camera.
I got other bugs with camcoder pause/shot functions.
Well, did anyone test another Gcam for Pie that all functions is working?

TRy MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G-based_v.0.6b_TlnNeun.apk

I've been tested almost all Tolyan/Arnova.
The winner is GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556.apk
Just one bug: inverted photos using Night sight for selfies.
Minor bug: Battery is a little used more than expected. But I don't think that is an disadvantage cause this version there isn't any lag, good integration with Gphotos and HDR+ processing is fast (1 or 2 seconds to finish).

Can't help. I did a rollback to Android Nougat 7.1.2.

Hi all,
i am still using a fantastic Mi5 Pro and the only issues that i am still having is the google cam battery drain in the pictures shots.
every kind of Gcam, 5 or 6 ver. still have this issues during the processing of the HDR features; the battery can drain 10% in a minute (with 2-3 shots), it's unacceptable....
Any ideas? Thanks

I've long been in a search for the best google pixel camera for the MI-5.
The best I've found (and am using as a daily driver) is this one:
GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk
This has/can:
- Close to 0 shutter lag (others often had 0.5-1 second)
- motion photo
- More than 3-4 photos in a burst (had this issue with others, those stopped taking photos while they were 'processing')
- Fast start times (other gcam ports often took 2-4 seconds (!!!) to start up)
(Note, this is in combination with LineageOS 16)

the rear cam photo is ok,but the front cam quality is abysmal compared to other gcam versions/ports

have anyone managed to take astrophotography using mi5? mine isn't working. I have tried many gcam 7.1/7.2 ports, none worked. It shows astrophotography on while mounted to tripod but only takes 8/9 seconds to take picture instead of 4 minutes long exposure. I'm using PE10 rom.

Are you still there?
Up to v6-v8 arnova version was the best but there isn't support for Night Sight.
I give up it cause I rollback to Android 7.
Now other person need to use Mi5 and want Gcam with that feature.
Using that:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk
oxi_arn1.4_mi5_config_v3.xml
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/f/2019/10/oxi_arn1.4_mi5_config_v3.xml
The results is great but front camera stills get green photos.
I tried many different settings but the same results (green photos on selfie).
Ths version is very stable, fast and works great with Gphotos. Night Sight is another real good feature.
And on that, I can't use this .XML.
Other versions Selfie isn't green but the quality is very poor and crackled.
Anyone know a hint to solve this?
Thanks.
@Arnova8G2

I am now using Xiaomi's Mi5.
Current Operating System: Pixel Experience Android 10 Plus Edition
Now I am looking for the best Gcam for my phone. Recently I have used some of the Gcam versions. But every one of them has major bugs.
I noticed high battery consumption and experienced various problems( green effect, saturation etc) while taking pictures.
So, I want to know if there is any version available for MI5 which
which doesn't drain fast
close to 0 shutter lag
Fast start times
HDR+ processing is fast
Good integration with Gphotos
Night mode and most of the other features are available
Able to take Perfect Selfie (Without any green/dark effect or saturation problem)
Thanks in advance!!!
Note: Camera2api is enabled in my device. But the phone is not rooted and I don't intend to do so
