You can use selective focus. Will do the trick.

Bump

samsung teased something - I think we are getting this with an early (2018?) update on our s8

I have a dream that one day some awesome dev will be able to port pixel 2's camera and give us the ability to take portrait photos!

just install the new oreo beta and try by installing google camera from apk mirror. If i'm not wrong pixel 2 came out with oreo. Also we can have more chances to make it work because s8 have a dual pixel camera like the google pixel one. I've read somewhere that maybe pixel phone has a second processor to process all the extra info given by the dual pixel camera but i'm not really sure about this. I think someone should make a try and report here..

3rd Party Camera apps

Is there any 3rd Party camera apps that work as good as the stock app for the GS7 but with better HDR? I was looking at the play store but there's hundreds of apps and I don't know what really works good these days. I have tried other apps in the past on other phones but never got used to them or liked them. What are others using?

I also tried a lot of camera apps (Note 4 + SGS 7 Edge), but in my opinion no 3rd party app can ever match the picture quality of the stock camera.

plus i haven't found a 3rd party camera android or ios that will let you take pictures while recording video like the stock cameras do nowadays.
Always found stock to be best, even with my S5
One of the reasons I didn't stick with custom ROMs for long

So getting the Google Pixel probably isn't the best thing to do then if one wants a better camera then googles "simple" camera. I prefer getting a good phone with a good stock camera from experience with other phones, moto Razer HD and HTC One M7.
after reading and watching tons of reviews and reading forums, so far the GS7 is about the best phone for me at this time overall. I guess i'll stick with it till the next best thing next year. Now if i can get a camera app that does HDR as good as the Pixel.

The Google Pixel camera will be optimised to it's own camera app, afaik reason stock camera app for the Galaxy phones is best, is down to the camera drivers and algorithms it uses, other camera apps can't produce the same quality
Especially when you are not running a TW ROM (as experienced with Galaxy S5)
Using the Galaxy stock camera app on a Google pixel probably wouldn't look great either

I was looking for a app that rivals the burst mode of the S7 at full resolution and speed. I have found nothing yet in the play store. Wish there was a way to keep the stock camera on. It cuts off after about 2mins on it's own if you don't touch the screen.

I do use Snapseed when i want something edited in a hurry before copying everything to the computer and editing with photoshop. i find it tedious editing on the phone though and when i have thousands of pictures to go through. it's easier on a real desktop monitor to see how good things look to know if i want to delete or not. I love Snapseed but like any other app on the phone they don't have an option to resize the resolution. i copy the originals to the computer for eventual burning off and pick favorites to edit and copy back to the phone.

Gcam mod

Hey can anyone please try gcam mod by arnova/cstark and tell if they make a difference in shots as compared to stock cam?
There is a thread over at the OnePlus forums - long story short, it`s not working properly on all SD845-based devices at the moment. Which includes the OP6.
^^ yep, it looks like we'll have to wait for Google to update Gcam for the SD845 and then it can be ported. Worst case is when the Pixel 3 will arrive.
A very capable dev called Arnova8G2 will receive his OP6 soon - he will likely keep using this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/themes/oneplus-6-google-camera-port-t3797544/
Keep an eye out, if we're lucky he'll put something out in the next week(s).

[Discussion]Note9 AI photography to S9+

Samsung already unveiled the Note9's camera ability to take incredible pictures using the same set up as S9+ but with AI implementations. I wonder if Samsung will release AI for the S9+ as well? Both devices are literally the same with the exception of the pen, larger base storage, and the screen able to use the pen. If Samsung do not officially release it, is it possible to port over that AI function, I'm guessing base on the camera app of the Note9?
In theory, this shouldn't be too hard if the cameras use the same hardware.

If the hardware is the same then nothing can stop it.
Also for one: Gotta stay positive. Two: based on my experience with various brands and years of seeing and applying different modifications, I would to believe that we will get that function eventually. As i recall, my old Xperia Z1 got 4K recording ported from the z5... How cant the s9 get the Ai?

previously, all the note apps and stuff did get ported for non Note phone. But as far as camera, samsung has never implemented anything from flagship to older I don't think. Samsung was never known to be sharing as you can say.

Well, let's hope for the best
AI in the camera isn't all it's cracked up to be. The P20 Pro and the G7 both have it and both suck at it. The Note will suck at it too.

Nokia smartphones may soon get Night Mode...

Read the news HERE
Lets see how much "improvement" there will be... And hopefully to all phones...
Any news or leaks to when it will be available, would be nice to have a good nokia camera update haven't had update on a long time and the update still made it turd

I don't think that's the new Nokia Camera as the one which is torn down on NPU.

Is it possible Nokia developing on Gcam port? Who knows...
i dont think Google is going to give its precious algorithm to other manufacturers. It would be a disaster for sales on new Pixel 3a/XL.
But HDR+ is mentioned on this article HERE so its pretty much going that way. How good it will be, we wait and see.
You can read why the APK crashed on N7+ in the article, libs are missing.

I'm sure Google won't just give algorithms because that's what makes Pixel a "Pixel". Same with Google Camera, it's their own branding so technically Nokia can't just modify a port and sell phones with it. Sure it's open source that's why devs can modify them, but there's just a lot of tech going on there. HDR+ though has been used in other phones already (Zenfone 6, I think?), so let's see where Nokia is going with this.
My highest hopes, though, are on camera quality fixes especially with the current awful white balance. P3 AWB mod of GCam is the closest workaround, but it'll be nice if the device camera module or driver (or whatever) itself gets corrected.

Google camera

I see the other thread was closed. But with pixel 4 out and GCam 7 are we going to just kill the option of it coming to our phones or what's the deal? I have the 6.2 and love it but would like wide lens without root. TIA for all replies and input
