Title days it all, here are my specs
OnePlus 8 pro Android 11
Rom: crdroid 7.4 instantnoodlep
Gcam version:GCam 7.3.018 Urnyx05-v2.5
Config: nrG--Urnyx05-7.3.018-v2.0
On stock OnePlus rom the slowotion camera worked fantasticly, I happened to use it quite a lot. Since going to crdroid and using gcam I notice though I can set videos to film 144fps, as soon as I try to use the slow motion feature on gcam it will pause for a second and visibly drop frames while filming. Checking out the footage is even worse since, ya know, a 20 fps video slowed down is basically a slideshow. I've included an example and a matlog just in case, but does anyone have a workaround for this? I'd hate to go back to stock for something so arbitrary
Edit: literally won't let me upload the text file for some reason, so here's the logcat
GCam cannot do slow motion. One of the reasons the OOS camera getting ported to AOSP /Lineage type ROM's, amongst others

That's a shame, would you happen to know if there's a port for crdroid floating around in the ether? I can't seem to find anything

Check the OnePlus 8 unified forum, it's in the OnePlus 8 section.
Evo X I'd recommend.
It has the OOS camera with working slow motion and wide angle, plus Google photos provides unlimited back up for free at original resolution

I actually lucked out and just installed the newest version of crdroid, turns out they just slipped the port in there at some point and it works great now

As per the thread title, by all accounts paranoid android have released their camera with an anti shake feature.
With our phones not having OIS could this help at all for those shots or videos which we may take that would require a steady hand ? ..
Has anyone tried it on the oneplus 5? Does it even exist for us yet ? I don't fancy the entire Rom but the camera sounds interesting.

Ah yes that's the older one mate..it doesn't have the newer features like image stabilization..
The last few posters seem to have been asking for it too.
Thanks all the same though mate.
Is it true that an app can make all the difference for picture quality? How good is the stock camera app that Ph-1 comes with? I'm not photo expert, so there may be a go-to camera app that everyone uses but I don't know about so I'm stuck using the generic stock one.
Thanks.
Use Cstarks Google Cam port. Much better performance, IMHO

Cstark 3.6 is the one to start with IMHO. The others may or may not work
in low light the difference between the stock camera app IQ and one of the GCam ports (I use Arnova's V6) is quite noticeable, I use the stock app for monochrome shots, and the GCam port for everything else, as the IQ is just better.
I installed the very top/latest APK from that page (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk) on this PH-1 running Android P beta and photos look pretty great. I'm comparing it with the camera app that came with the beta, and it's much better. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, I tried the same and it is really great. Even with latest update, I was very disappointed with the burst mode of Stock Camera. Most of the shots came out blurry when taking moving objects like kids.
This one does a much better job. Pixel and One Plus 6 are very fast. They take 20 pics in 2 seconds. PH1 takes around 5-6 seconds.
I am yet to test anything else.
Every version of the gcam apk I have downloaded scans as malware. May be a false positive but is enough to keep me away.
I am wondering if any camera apps in the play store offer improvements?
@arsenal74 what are you scanning them with? Where are the dls from? Have you read the security statement on the site linked above?

I use Nvisio https://apkscan.nviso.be/ and also virus total. Scans as malware/pup
As is noted on the site. It's up to you but a pup is only highlighting something if you didn't put add it yourself.
Your scanner is full of Bull. I use Malwarebytes and no issues with gcam apks.
It is an online scanner that uses multiple services, for this file only 1 of the services flagged it as suspicious, go to the link above and try it on the apks that you have.
I have no idea what Babable PUP.HighConfidence means but it is enough for me to think twice about installing.
Read the security notice on the gcam APK website... That's exactly what it says!

I have seen a similar warning when looking at similar versions of this port before so have steered clear.
This is the GCAM from Pixel 4/4XL/4a ?
Well on my crusades of random youtube videos tonight custom of the pawn of video talking about g cam 7 and Astro photography. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in a newer g cam APK but I found one of the newest Google camera that works on our devices. My only suggestion to get rid of some green tint this to go into settings and change your viewfinder to the one beginning with YUV. Link posted to save y'all the trouble of going through the pop up process.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Download the first one. 7.2.010 it's by Xenius9
Also in advanced settings is where to turn on Astro photography. All modes seem to work, what I've listed is tweaks I've done. Hopefully I've helped someone upgrade their GCam because Lord knows I love to stay in top of things with what's probably the best camera app on Android ??? cheers. Any questions you have let's work it out together and he'll each other folks.
Update: I've discovered that this set up actually gives me the best images. No discoloration blotches or anything. They've all come out crisp, great toned and all.
This only works on pixel devices...what about rooted android(samsung) handsets!?

Well I did say I've only done it on a snapdragon since that's what I have.
After a bunch of tests I find that the stock camera is much better than this port. I don't see the need for the scam with this phone. But it does work well so I guess there's that

do you have any astrphotography sample shots ? i was looking forward to exchange my pixel 3 for a note 9 but the camera was holding me back. If there is a working gcam with astro i might actually pull the trigger on the note 9

I'm using the one above and noticed every night shot is ungodly noisy. I don't remember older versions being this bad so it's probably a setting I'm missing or something, but it's unusable and I saw ISOs of 5000+.

Im using this version also (N9600). I have tested a couple gcam versions and this seems to be the best one yet.
16:9 is not working (not a big deal for me)
Astrophotography takes a regular Night Sight picture. (i really hope they fix this since I LOVE this feature)

Have there been any updates since this post?
I went here to track what updates have appeared: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/#apk1625
Downloaded this release which was published on June 20 2020 https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk
It seems to work just fine. I have some use cases where I've been missing my Pixel .
One thing I do find annoying about this gcam is that motion photos are on by default, both versions I've installed have been in that mode and I had to disable it.
Can anyone help me with working Gcam 7.3 for Samsung Note 9 Exynos Variant not rooted.
Tried couple of mods but not working at all. App crashes immediately after opening the App.
Thanks in Advance.
Running Android 10.
I have had no luck. A few packages have installed for me and opened, but the pictures it takes will only display as a gray screen. Most, like you, just crash.
The same problem here
The latest version from the zexynos Telegram group works well, way more natural looking results compared to stock cam. Install it, then create a Configs folder in the Gcam folder and put the xml file in there. Then open Gcam and double tap in black area below shutter button and then select the XML you put in the configs folder, tap restore. Then close Gcam, go to settings, apps, camera, force stop, clear cache, reopen GCam and you're good to go.

Mine is rooted, but I finally found one that kind of works. No "night sight" that I can find, but:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/
Scroll down to Note 9 Exynos. Have to be able to install APK files.
The one at Zexynos Telegram group works well, designed specifically for S9 N9 S10 N10 Exynos.
Thanks. Already got one. It's an old version. But working.

Which one did you end up using?
The one I listed is old and apparently does not have Night Vision... probably missing other features, too.

I just created a thread about finding a stable GCam 7.3 version by jairo_rossi. I'm on the Snapdragon variant of the Note9 though, but I'm not rooted.
The version isn't perfect but for most of what I need, it works well and is stable enough as a main camera app. See if it works for you.

I've been running LineageOS 18.1 for my S8 (SM-950FD) and it's been working fabulously ! However its stock camera is just not the best. I have tried other camera apps as well, like GCamera and Open Camera, but nothing is as close as Samsung stock camera. I chose not to go back to Samsung stock ROM because I love the experience of Android 11, while the original rom only supports till Android 9.
Is there any other Custom ROM than LineageOS that comes with a great camera app ?
There is Project Sakura (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...5-1-official-monthly-updates-vanilla.4261403/). It is based on LineageOS 18.1 and has an integrated camera app called Footej Camera. Not the best name, but it feels a lot like the Stock Camera. I believe you can also download Footej from PlayStore but it probably costs a few pennies.
Good Luck on your Search!

Hi, thanks !
I have read the whole thread from Project Sakura that you provided, apparently there are issues with hotspot (not working) and camera itself (few people mentioned the camera just stucks after a while). But this ROM looks interesting, I'm gonna keep my eye on it and see its updates.
Well, the further custom roms move away from the stock rom, the more bugs appear. I'm surprised you have a working LOS 18.1, which one is that if I may ask?
You could check out ProCam X, it's in the Playstore. Great app with lots of features. Some people complain that the image quality is worse, but that's probably because they accidentally set the post-processing to low quality (NR).

I'm using LOS 18.1 from Stricted, check the first comment here. Yes, it's working surprisingly well, battery drains a little bit faster than using original stock ROM though, but everything works fine. I'm aware some people mention wifi / hotspot are problematic on their LOS 18.1, but I can use wifi & hotspot sharing just fine on my phone with this custom ROM from Stricted. They have September update for their ROM which I haven't tried because mine is already working well and I figured the camera quality would be the same anyway.
At this point, I'm focusing on looking for an alternative camera app, or waiting if someone would generously come with LOS 19 (Android 12) for S8, haha. In the meantime, I'll try your camera app recommendation, thanks !!
Thank you! I will check that out. One last thing comes to my mind. You probably know it already, but maybe you don't or anyone else is searching for a solution, so:
It is very important for high quality photos to activate the Camera2 API. It can simply be flashed and offers an interface for more complex camera controls. If the API is activated can be checked with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector&hl=gsw&gl=US
If it misses, here is the zip file: https://www.cyanogenmods.org/downloads/camera2-api-enabler-zip-file-download/
Good luck and happy photographing!
