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.
Anyone else using the Google camera app on their s8 or s8 plus, specifically the snap dragon models? If so what is your opinion of it versus stock camera?
So far from my brief usage of the app I think it far surpasses the galaxy camera app.
Hold on, Getting Google Camera right now.
I have it with a pixel hdr mod and it's great here's some sample photos
Way worse than stock imo. Poor processing, less detail, worse colors. I think it's terrible honestly

Wow. I've taken several photos and compared them side by side and each time the Google camera app has better colors and all around looks better, even my wife and kids think so. I guess since they look so different it's throwing you off, but it is by far not terrible at all, at least in my experience.

Hardly. Are you saying it from the point of view of someone with photography experience? If not, I respectfully disagree entirely to put it lightly. From someone very into photography, it pales in comparison.

Photography experience or not I think it's safe to say and widely agreed upon that Samsungs camera oversaturates images and leaves them far too bright. In my experience tons of details are missing from the s8 stock camera app as opposed to the Google camera app. Perhaps your experience is different for whatever the reason may be. I can't speak on that.

Argue all you want, or go ask someone else with experience. Regardless of your opinion on color saturation, examine more than just that. Blow up an image and zoom in. Fine detail is slaughtered in the Google camera app. You're neutering your camera in order to avoid color saturation lol

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.

All seem working well exept the front facing camera where resolution is 4mp and 12 in portrait, also in portrait mode some underexposure and lack of focus.

Then lower the frame capture rate... It's gcam.... And it will only be slower like that in low light... With the way I have it set you will get good quick captures outdoor and slower but better quality indoor or low light situations without needing to use night sight.
how do you get playground working..i don't see that option?
Got everything to work with your setup but is there a reason the back cam is set to 8.3 megapixels?
Pics come out too Cool
So, I've tried these different mods, and while sharpness is better with them, I feel like the colors come out way too cool and not true to real life at all. Complete opposite of what I get with my Pixel 3XL. Anyone experiencing the same, or perhaps has gotten a GCAM mod they are really happy with?

Here are some example I took on my OP7P. I used gcam and stock camera. I have to say that the stock camera is pretty sad.
I love the phone, but I am very disappointed in the camera.
The night photos were taken with Nightsight on GCam and Nightscene on stock.
GCam seems to come out much cool indoors, not staying as true to the colors sometimes. Stock is definitely not capturing the details.
