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.

So would you say that the Essential Phone w/Google Camera is better than the OnePlus 5 with either cam?

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.
So randomly, I'm sitting here enjoying a nice Belgian Ale and the thought popped into my head, "Check the LineageOS Gerrit site!"
I did. And I got an exciting surprise!

don't you always lose image quality when switching from stock to custom rom, no matter if it's a Sony, Samsung or OnePlus?
many OnePlus users still return to stock rom because of the worse image quality on custom roms.
I've never heard anything different than that.
correct me if I'm wrong.
It's for almost every brand the same: AOSP never came completely up to stock, because of the framework and optimization from the original builders: The OEM. But since we have many good devs around, porting the Google Camera to fit for our device, at least non-pro shots will be equal, if not better than stock. You can come close with several other apps too:
• Open Camera
• Snap Camera HDR Pro (Smells a bit abandoned, to be honest.)
• A Better Camera Unlocked (Also smells abandoned, but works fine. At least for now.)
• Footej Camera Pro
• Hedge Cam 2 (With the correct settings, you will get par to better photos than with stock. Based on Open Camera.)
For normal, I'd list Manual Camera and Camera FV-5 too, but both are too old and are for sure completely abandoned.

Micky,
based on solely the image quality - would you prefer a custom rom on the op5/5t or the stock rom? and even though you probably don't own a crystal glass ball, what's your stand on this when it comes to the op6?
thx!
I was and I ever will be a user of CyanogenMod / LinageOS. At least, you should switch one time back, because of this:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/open-ears-forums-key-actions-update.865969/
When this fixes come out, OxygenOS should really become obsolete in terms of image quality. But spoken of this: Isn't there a nice, working Google Camera port already out for the 5/5T? I skipped the 5/5T, because OnePlus really pis... me off for reasons - another story.

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.

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!

I tried the latest version, night sight lags more than usual, I'll be waiting for next releases and try again (Mido device). Thanks.
Tested on my rooted Redmi Note 4X running Pixel Experience ROM.
Video mode doesn't work. I only get a dark screen. Other modes work fine.
Edit: slow motion and motion tracking (both auto and on options) doesn't work. Sometimes the video mode works after clearing the data but the camera, night sight and portrait stops working. It can't shoot at 1080p60fps though just 4k/1080p at 30fps. Even if you choose the 60fps option it will still be at 30fps.
Does it work with Syberia 9.0(Pie) ??
At night with flash, it does not save the photo in memory.

As a suggestion, as I don't know which rom are you using.. After September update (los16 by aryan, which includes latest zeelog camera HAL improvements) my cameras reduced a lot, if not all, any possibility of crashing. I tried almost 20 takes one after the other under high sunlight conditions, using latest parrot 6.3 v9, one before latest Arnova's 6.2 and even parrot V7 mods. V7 beta is, despite being uncompleted and with functions not totally implemented, practically impossible to crash it. So, I'm telling you my experience, yours may differ. My Mido uses both Samsung sensors, Omnivision and Sony may behave different.
If your ROM is not using the zeelog's tree, I would suggest you to try any Gcam v7 and see what you can achieve.
Cheers!
Excuse me. I use PE plus. 9.0
Both sensor are Samsung.
When I turn on the flash it is not working
Please, update.

Definitively the most stable gcam for the Samsung sensor, working perfectly with the latest Havoc OS pie, no crashes at all

I got the update to android Q yesterday. This is full review for that update.
1. Performance: Performance is the same and in some cases Android Q is a bit faster and better.
2. Battery: The Screen on time is almost the same for me(only few minutes worse)
3. Main Camera: The quality is the same on Stock app. Haven't tested GCam
4. Front Camera: The quality is a bit worse and yellow on Stock app. Haven't tested GCam
5. Storage: I had the same free space on Q as i had on P
6. Gaming: Same performance and a bit better FPS on some games.
7. Boot-up Time: Almost if not the same as Pie
8. App Launching Time: Quite faster in some cases.
---------------------------------MIUI PROBLEMS AFTER UPDATE--------------------------------------
I noticed small lags and studders when opening the recents menu and when i opened a folder
General Performance is fine but the poor front camera performance and the small lags
annoy me a lot. I will most probably flash LineageOS 17.1 Android Q from "coderz" to resolve
all of the issues i encountered on MIUI. I will inform you if i notice something else.:good::laugh:
Camera quality is lower than before
Thank You for this short review. I've just got the update notification and now I'm not going to install it. I'll wait some time to see others users comments about it.
Currently iam having miui global 11.0.8.When will i receive the new update..
I installed the update. Results:
Camera quality is the same. I didn't experienced that yellowish on front so the front camera I have the same quality as before. Performance is little bit higher. More smooth system responses. I consider this update as great. No bugs I noticed
No notice no difference in quality of photos.
Applying to both, front and back
