Gcam mod - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

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).

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..

Any non-GSI ROM builds in development?

This phone has been out for quite some time now and the lack of developer support is pretty shocking.
Are any developers working on builds of ROMs for Polaris? Outside if Mokee, I haven't seen anything, and I still haven't seen a single AOSP build.
Better get used to MIUI...
Wouldn't have bought it if I knew the situation would end up being that desolate.

Same here - I may end up selling at some point. I'm very disappointed in the level of support, which is likely a result of people not buying the phone.
I bought this phone because of its great hardware and a reasonable price.
I disliked miui from the beginning so I installed pixel experience and I am happy with it for now. I don't rely on manufacturers anymore to update devices rather I come back here and get what I need.
Would be nice if this device would get more love from the devs but I hope that, with the number of sd845 devices surfacing and being popular in bigger markets like India or China, some devs will port the pixel experience pie ROM to our device.

My main issue is the Camera. Pixel Experience, and Benzo GSI work very well on my device, however the picture quality of the camera is pretty bad comparatively.
Images look very grainy when zoomed, and overall the MIUI camera does a much better job.
I'm hoping at some point that a dev is able to port the camera app over. They did it for the RN5.

I use the BSG Mod camera MGC_5.1.018_MI8_V1b which works really well. Portrait mode is good, low light pictures are good too. I'm not into 4k slowmo Videos so that's not the deal breaker for me.
My biggest concern is that this device is not as popular as many other lower priced devices by Xiaomi and therefore no dev will appear and make some good roms. And if someone builds them I hope they will be maintained.
One inmate here made a pixel experience for our device and I was really excited. But he or she disappeared and was never seen again. No sign of life since months and no feedback to PM's or in his/her own thread.
Maybe the pocophone with the same soc will push development further. Maybe someone can port a pixel experience rom for our device.
I'd even be happy to donate money and I'm not talking about 10€ but far more to anyone who builds an almost bug free rom with all the hardware support the device needs with all functions working as they should.
I hope there will be some developments soon, or at least a dev that can kill the bugs in the GSI roms. Most of the things are working perfectly fine with GSI's, there's only some annoying bugs that have to be eliminated.
We have a well known dev who makes Los for our device, if you join our telegram group you can test his releases, however he lost some time because he accidently damaged his phone so it will still take some time until he publishes on xda

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.

Pixel Feature Ports

I know everyone has been all over the gcam port, but I've always been curious if anyone has figured out how to port other pixel-specific apps/features like the Ambient Services? Probably not, but figured I'd check. Some of those features are pretty cool, and it's one of the few things I miss about my pixel.
There are so many aosp roms for the s10 series now go check ond out you might find what you want. If you are looking for pixel festures chances are you dont care about the samsung apps/ui anyway

Question Best op9 cam?

Hi, recently I got my new op9 and it's awesome about fast and fluidity, but I can't say the same about pics taken Id like to ask the community of any gcam or any similar cam app which improves oscam for more detailed or processing sw photos.
Thanks!
You must have the TMobile version. I've read many complaints with this version. I have a global unlocked op9 and adore the camera without Ois even. G-cam for our devices is awful. This is the reason I've stayed on stock. Oos cam hasnt been ported yet to aosp. It's still a wip. My opinion though.
I have chinese version LE2110. I have read many times that gcam is awful for our op9, but instead for me I prefer it.
Started with t-Mo 2117, but wiped and installed LineageOS. Sad about losing the OP9 camera. Gonna start trying all the free ones in the Store, then...
