A review yesterday posted that they used the Google camera and results were much better. Question is if both cameras are being used
Here is a link To the one from the XDA Article just to make things easier.
And This is the latest version on the Russian thread that I saw.

Thanks. Another thread pointed to a v2.2 at this link . Not sure what changes there. Will continue to play with this.
What is the difference in the versions? Will things like auto HDR work?
I don't know the change, you'd have to reference the Russian forum and even with Google translate I haven't quite tracked the dialog. aHDR is working fine, based off another XDA thread the slow-motion camera isn't working.
Hey guys, sorry to give you a screenshot of the picture comparison but I'm a bit lazy today and forgot to turn off the geo-location tags. Hopefully i get some more shots in later this weekend and post back later.
I'm using the v1.4 the original GCAM app from the XDA article. I can't say that I trust the v2.2 from the Russian site at the moment so sorry again. If it gets updated and the XDA article says it was updated I'll be more willing to try the v2.2 app.
What you see is the Essential app on the left versus the GCAM app on the right. I prefer what I've seen from the Essential app but in actual usage the GCAM works much faster and believe it or not feels more stable. As you can see there is definitely a difference in picture quality especially around the glass and text. Mind you I'm coming from a Pixel XL so that is my frame of reference as far as what I should be expecting from both apps. From looking at the picture versus what my eye is seeing the GCAM is more true to my eye, however I find the light/dark balance more pleasing on the Essential app. Personally I really hope Essential gets it together because from what I've read the GCAM software doesn't make use of the monochromatic lens and I think that if someone can combine the best function of both apps we as the users would be the real winners.
If I can get more shots without the metadata in it I'll be sure to post them up. Otherwise I'm subscribed to this thread so I can keep up with the latest updates for the GCAM app.
I cannot get this to install for some reason. The when screen is unresponsive when I try tapping the install button.
Edit: toggling unknown sources again seemed to do the trick
Just messing around with my Essential camera between GCam 1.4 (aHDR first) and EP (HDR second)... You can clearly see the difference in low light...
Neither are great but GCam turned out better.
The next 2 are from my OnePlus 5...GCam 1.4 (aHDR third) and then OPO (aHDR last)
Man OPO looks worse (and even GCam is somehow worse on it as well...) also it looks like OPO goes to the pink side with Gcam but not its stock cam. The EP Cam just look bad all around lol.

Honestly I don't think Essential is better. :-/
I think I'm going to return mine.
The download links are unable to locate mirrors so I cannot try either version of the camera app listed in this thread. Am I missing something or were these files already taken down?
Got mine 2 days ago and installed the 2.2 Gcam. Personally I don't notice too much difference but then again I'm a colorblind old man. Just had this happen when I opened the Essential Cam and a reboot fixed it. I haven't been able to reproduce it yet.
I tried the 4.4v with zero shutter lag that B-S-G had posted on another forum here. So far it seems to be working quite well, it's nice to have the google interface again and it seems to take better photos, though I'm terrible at photos in general so it's hard for me to tell.

The name is a misleading, the variant linked in the article is 1.4. "4.4" I believe refers to the Google versioning of the app, not the port versioning.

Is there a Google Camera for OP6?
Anyone know where to start testing?
Thanks!
I just got mine today and I really like it.
Tried the new GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-V3.apk today. Instant crash
Tried the latest version of the above and had the same issues too.
Compared to my Pixel 2, the stock camera really isn't as far behind as some make it out to be. I'm a pretty big stickler about things like that too.
EDIT: Did some further testing and other than bokeh, this camera really does lag behind the Pixel 2. Link to some examples here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UqbINgpI8nmVaOR33

Have test MGC_5.1.018_tolyan009_v1.4.1-test6.apk gcam today. Crashing......
Hey guys and girls,
just wanted to know if the gcam mod for op6 will get better when Google releases the official gcam app for the pixel 3. or will it be easier for developers to get better results for the op6 gcam mod?
will the devs of gcam mod stop their work on the present mod because it is based on the sd835 gcam app? if so then why do the devs even work on the mod now and up until the official sd845 gcam app instead of saying "there will be no gcam mod for the op6 until Google releases the official gcam app for the pixel3 (sd845). we will begin working on this project once the 845 app is available".
are the devs working on the gcam mod just because they are so kind/helpful/... that they spend lots of their free time just to get a working mod right away instead of waiting for the actual app that Google will release shortly? or will all the development into the present app help the devs once the sd845gcam.app is out?
And when did Google release the gcam app for the pixel 2 last year - together with the phone release or was the software available before the phone release?
lots of questions,
would love some clarification!
thanks so much,
v.
The whole thread belongs in the original thread. How a forum should work, so you speak to the developers directly..
1: it might
2: it might
3: they would probably stop using that base.. But keep some things in the code. (might)
4. Well... There are things you just don't know if they even will work properly or not when developing something. There are people in this world that just want to TRY make stuff better or just have fun with it. It's like saying there is no need to save people from starving because we will never succeed... And we therefore don't even care for trying..
5. Sigh... .. Peace out.
thx for answering,
I did think about posting my questions in the thread you mention. but I figured it's too much off topic. I didn't want to interrupt the actual development thread as I'm not helping the thread with useful info regarding the mod.
thanks for your reply,
v.
Well, it's good but the autofocus is slow and not accurated, sometimes got tint pic and the Portraid Mod is bugged (crashed and freeze). Other than that, the CameraAPI is not used so no full features like 4K 60fps etc. and more scalable resolution for photo camera.
This is a very important question, to the point if i keep the phone or not....

Why is camera API not used ?
On old days of OP1 they ported from Find 7 (Camera 2.67)...
Maybe from Oppo R15?
yashpatel99 said:

Because they need to be included by Arnova8G2 in next build.
Has anyone been able to get it to work?
I see Max Lee has it, but only for the 6p. And older pixel phones...

Installed but FC'ed for me as well. Guess we need to wait for ports.
Works fine on my Pixel 2.
Fc'd here.
Arnova just dropped his first port for it.
Works perfect for me so far.
Check it out on the GCam Port Hub website!
Edit - Still lots of bugs, especially with tap to focus and the integrated Google Lens implementation. Camera randomly stops working and while there is Lens Blur, there is no dedicated Portrait mode yet.
Yeah tested Arnova's port this morning. He did mention that it's just to test the new UI. Very promising though!

I tried his "test2" version. Seems to work pretty well. Slow Motion video doesn't seem to work at the moment.
Any news on an updated port? I've been looking since the last release and now with the Night Sight I'm definitely interested in a port for the PH-1

Just installed. Wow. G-cam was always good in the daylight. Now the low light performance is some of the best I've seen. Just need to be patient with exposure and processing time. Small price to pay. Very impressed.
Been using the camera posted to the front page and wow! Night sight is amazing. Some of the pictures you capture with it is unbelievable.
So far it is fantastic! Only thing I can't go work he slow motion video.

Send a love letter to Essential support requesting the H264 video thingy?
can someone post a few sample night shots? Looking to get this and trade my lg g7 - but if there isn't a huge difference in camera quality, i'll probably stick with the g7.
thanks in advance!
Installed latest are0zer0 magisk mod and installed front page camera. No slo motion. Don't have any AR stuff running, so no stickers.

I just recently updated to 9.5.7 and definitely notice the effort OnePlus puts in to make our 7 Pros all we expect them to be. While poking around on APK Mirror, I noticed the OnePlus Camera apk is version 3.3.8 (dated 6/9/2019). The camera app installed with OxygenOS Update 9.5.7 is 3.2.105. Does anyone know what the differences are or if this is even for our phone?
Link it and I'll test.

I wasn't worried about installing it. I just know my limits and know I don't understand enough to point out the differences. For me, XDA is a place to learn and I appreciate all the advice and knowledge shared herr

It works fine here. It didn't even change any of my settings when I installed it.
I gotta agree. There seems to be no discernible difference other than the obvious version number. Haven't used it enough to compare quality. I'll report back if there's a noticable difference.
I didn't notice a whole bunch of difference. I took a bunch of pics this past weekend after downloading the update. However, I didn't take many before. So I can't quite compare the before/after quality. Overall seems like the people are ending up soft. Faces and such. But my only comparison taking side by side pictures is with my son-in-law's Mate 20 pro. Which takes amazing photos.
Hi there! I'm just sharing this Gcam version I accidentally bumped into on the port hub. This means I cannot provide any support or bugfix.
Tested and almost every aspect of it works except for slow motion and photo sphere.
Tested and working:
Front:Selfie:✓ normal shot✓ normal shot✓ normal video✓ normal video✓ night sight✓ night sight✓ portrait shot✓ portrait shot✓ lens blur✓ lens blur✓ time lapse
✓ panorama
✓ photo sphere
Definitely not working:
✕ Slow motion
The picture quality pretty good but there is no 48 mp. I'd say 12 just like on the Pixel phones.
16:9 ratio resolution is: 2160x3840
4:3 ratio resolution is: 3000x4000
Further testing needed.

What? I was kind of frustrated how only 6.1 Gcam works on our new device so I was downloading all sorts of gcam versions from the gcam port hub. Before this one worked, I installed 12 gcam versions of Gcam 7+ and none of them worked. For 13th try this one worked. This has nothing to do with your post or whatever.
Ctc. Then why did u post thanks it works.
You know what, just leave it. These things are just discoveries which no one else should take credit of other than the developer. Huge shot out to the one who created it. Over and out with you.

Because that one worked? That's why I thanked. Still nevertheless I was disappointed how we only get 6.1 gcam while there are 7+ gcams out there so I started downloading 7+ gcam versions hoping one of them will work. I'm really in love with up to date stuff. So as I said I really stumbled upon this version and nothing it has to do with your share. Only that the version you shared was too incomplete for me and made me want a newer version. That's why I found this 7+ verison because the 6+ version didn't satisfy me. Why should I have mentioned your posts while your post barely had anything to do with me finding this working 7+ verison? It's not like you made that Gcam verison or I made this one. These are just shares and we share them so others will be able to use their camera to their fullest. It's not like I stole from you or anyone, or I took credits for anything.

Oh, sorry. I mistook you for someone else.
This was the only post that I saw about gcam for the device. I thought you were the OP of that thread. I didn't ever see your post with 7+ gcam. If I saw I wouldn't made a double with the same version. After seeing the 6.1 version I went to celzoalvedo or what site, I mean the port hub and started looking for a newer working version. I don't even know what's going on.
Indeed I thanked in that thread but for op's post, not yours I slipped over your version share. If I saw it, I wouldn't have downloaded 12+ versions from the port hub and saved myself from a lot of annoyances. Now I understand what you're talking about. Now I understand why you asked if I'm a developer, I guess. I was just happy that the 13th version of gcam I downloaded from the port hub worked and in that sudden spike of success/joy I shared on xda for others to use too. Sorry for being ignorant and not seeing your previous comment on that thread. I'd not even have made this thread if I saw your post.

Try clearing the appdata and setting it to default again.Or try switching between the gcam default and medium saturation a few times. Coz mine also started out pretty desaturated but sort of corrected itself after fiddling a bit and restarting the app. I would have shown samples but its not letting me to.most probably because mines a new account.
