Hi guys,
first, I'd like to thank to @Arnova8G2 for his development and porting of Google camera. Due to his effort, many of our phones take much better photos than with stock camera. If you don't know what the app is, please visit this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177
His app has many different settings and I wonder what are the best setting available. If we can find the best settings, we all can take better photos!
I made a small form which I please you to fill (takes aprox. one minute): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...ntry.560585008=95%+(default)&entry.1874216323
Thank you everyone!
So please fill:
Device you own (I know this is Mi5 section, but still, GCam is used by many others)
Which ROM you run and version of it (Lineage 15.1, 14.1 etc.)
Settings you use
Sample photos (at day, at night, portrait mode, video ...)
Results
Or just share it down here.
RESULTS:

Hey ! Nice initiative.
I'm running on Mi5 with Google PixelMod mod by Arnova8G2 5.1.018-v1 . Settings :
-Model : Nexus 6P
-Config : Nexus 6P
-Option HDR+ On
-HDR+ Parameters : super high
-ZSL On
This is a great idea, let's set up a spreadsheet where people can input their settings, so we can easily get an overview of what's in use?
Which fields to you think are most important? (don't want to over complicate things)

Well, probably device, ROM and versionof it, version of app and settings: Config camera HDR+, Model, HDR+ parameters, Advanced. Plus some sample photos.
IDK what else?
And I don't know how to set up spreadsheet on XDA ...
Great initiative

For sample photos we should only take on comparison photos (same user, motif, different settings) if possible. Would be easier to spot the differences. On the spreadsheet, we should also classify the most used settings as separate, named groups, to minimize clutter and find the best setup.

Hey mates, I'm on viper (nougat) with gcam v5. Is there any fix to the front camera's upside down problem? Do i need to downgrade the version or even maybe use another cam app for selfie? Cheers

Yes it is!
Go and edit this file: /system/etc/camera/msm8996_camera.xml
You can use ES_File Explorer built in Note editor.
Look for:
<Position>FRONT</Position>
<MountAngle>360</MountAngle>
and change the "360" for "270". There's 2 times on this file.
It will be:
<Position>FRONT</Position>
<MountAngle>270</MountAngle>
Now save and reboot the phone.
TESTED on MI 5 MIUI 9 GLOBAL Beta 8.2.1

just install the new apk no need to set manually

Yep thats it. the file's already modified in new version (360->270), but the problem persist.
Maybe we just have sit for a while until the next version released. Perhaps
stable rom its working properly
Was attempting to match some of the results in this thread, but by changing GCam versions I've lost my front camera HDR in LOS 14.1
Any recommendations for me? Configured for Nexus 6 Auto/Nexus 6P/High/95% JPEG. Tried the following:
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 - Previously functional, but now no front camera HDR+ and front cam portrait is upside down.
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.6 - Same as 1.5
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.7 - Not a fan of manual focus, same issue
Am I missing something? Always clearing data for version install, and stopping/starting app for each setting change.
Solved: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6 on LOS 14.1 has all my HDR+, all portrait, and no more upside-down photos. Other than the directories created for each photo; I can't figure out how to disable that.
Arnova8G2's Google Camera Port
Hi everyone, this thread is being created to share and have some feedback to help @Arnova8G2 to port the Google Camera for our soc.
I will try to maintain the thread with the latest apk from the dev, in the meantime to help more you can:
Describe your experience (mostly what doesn't work as expected)
Provide logcats: the dev does not have your phone, so logs are needed if you want him to fix stuff (How to take logcats?)
Mention @Arnova8G2 when you post your feedback
GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6-Beta17.1.apk
Tried a couple of shots with the apk and pictures tend to have a blueish tone, as for pictures attached @Arnova8G2
The "normal" one is taken with stock camera with the 12mpx sensor, as the other one is not recognised by your GCam's port

i have the same issue @Arnova8G2
For tests before the final version
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QFqNimgDUG539RsmgD_bkj7hwzKfLzTA
To make it easier for me to correct Gcam
Download the Camera2 Test app and share the device_info file.

Here you go. Honor 9 STF-L09.
I just needed to change the extension form .html to .txt to be able to attach it.
Working well on my Honor 9 with Oreo running. Thank you
@Arnova8G2 to standardise the responses and bug reporting from other users, which settings you suggest us Honor 9 users to use?
The same defaults as Snapdragon users?
Or some others in particular, given the different soc (if it can impact on image elaboration by the app)?
Is it supports portrait mode?
Hi @Arnova8G2, sorry to bother you but since you haven't posted a new apk for us Kirin users, I'm going to ask: can we use your latest updates from HERE?
Should we try first with the suggested settings and then with others or can you give us some hints?
Thanks in advance and don't worry to ask to try something, we are here to try to have a GCam for Kirins too (at least I to see if can be more improvements with the camera )

Count me in. If needed, I can also provide any help possible, because I would like to use GCam on Honor 9, as that HDR function is great
None of this app are working. Honor 9 with oreo.
I got always this error to free up space.
Please Port it for Honor View10- Honor's Latest Flagship. There are many users who want this port and many guys are into development stuff as they brought it due to the fact that it does support treble.
Btw Google released its algorithm as open source, will this benefit Kirin users?

To fix this error: switch back to system memory as primary, not the SD.
Also the anrova versione of this app do not add any benefits to the camera.
Only the msg MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.3 have some improvements on lowlight, but no portrait mode and if you edit some confing the app will not work on front camera
Let me know what You guys think.

I also live with "dot pattern" GCam mod than original cam. :fingers-crossed:
Great comparison photos! The camera has always been lacking on OP devices. You got to cut corners somewhere right?
@Kirahvi Thanks. I didn't cut or edit anything (except of zoomed in images), clear JPG's straight from phones.
Please.
Can you share the APK for Google Camera and the Settings for the HDR to work.
Thank you.

do you have found a version without the red dot pattern? Its not visible on your zoomed shots.

@Flash-User
Last photo with this pattern was shoot by old app by Arnova8G2. For the rest of pictures I used Pixel2Mod also by Arnova8G2 and it seems to do pretty good job.

Hi guy's
I had to reset my phone because of the moisture detection message error (don't even ask nightmare)
Anyways I had the excellent ORIGINAL HDR + camera app, and loved it used it for most of my pictures but cannot find it now! I've tried seriously about 100 version from here of new modded ones but most crash and don't work or the ones that do don't get close to the over egged pictures I use to love using the original. The one I had official all I can remember is it had the option to turn on or off HDR+ mode lots of the original I've tried don't seem to have that option in top settings bar, also the app logo was the black one with blue camera centre if you get me.
Just checked on my photos I uploaded to Google photos on my lost Google camera app and is as below info
20180519_092409.jpg
12.2MP 4032 x 3024 2.5 MB
samsung SM-G950F
f/1.7 1/2832 4.20 mm ISO40
Any help would be much appreciated

Got it mate ....yes more like it always had the delay for HDR processing happy with that though for results i get.....:good: many thanks will back it up closest i have got to my original but not tested this properly yet but looks good.
Outside picture effects on HDR on google camera were awesome for me
You know GCam is based on algorithm learning... In a day or 2 u will see the result... Also processing time decrease if u use zsl.
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto G9 Power come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I'm a bit disappointed here, the photos seen to dull the colors, I'm not sure if you can change some settings to get richer colors. Those roses are supposed to be deep red.
