Anyway - is there any option for making good "selfie" - pictures during running, mountain biking or something else with a self-timer?
Maybe someone can recommend a good app?
I would appreciate any help!
Best regards =)

Just in case most of you have not received their phones, yet... Any apps that you have in mind which I could test?

Just guessing here,u can try some of the g cams modes for op 5T/6,cause of dual cams,maybe it will work, also good info for me
Mostly from Arnova or SerJo devs.... Would be nice info here,have not seen anyone tried that.

so I tried the OP6 2.5.33 and hmmm cant see any difference. But its 21:00 and its getting a little bit dark (tried to hit some driving cars). With the pro modus you cant handle f - too dark or too bright, only "auto" is working... but I need to manage the aperture to make some acceptable "moving" snapshots.
So at this moment OP6 camera isnt an option

Yeah, I also tried andropan once, man, it was UGLY.
Sent from my CDMA Hero, sucka!
yep.. thats the name of it.. i remember seeing some BS samsung or LG phone that came with this feature stock and it looked good, so its hard to believe that someone hasn't made a good working panoramic picture taking device...
Hi,
I'm the developper of Andropan.
Can you tell me what is UGLY in my application?
So I can make it better and better
Which device do you use?
Thanks for your help
The Epic's camera app has panorama built in. Im on the Evo myself but my family uses the hero. Glad I lurked on this thread, hopefully the Epic's camera app can be ported over sometime
try vignette. is the best camera.

1.Starting the application into a black screen is a bit - distasteful and not user friendly. Add the buttons that you have when pressing menu here.
2. The Plumb and Level indicators are a bit hard to get right, you should probably think about over laying a set of arrows to tell the user how they need to move to get level and plumb.
3. Typical camera uses the trackball to snap the picture instead of menu or a screen tap (at least on our heros) This would make it more fluid.
4. Not sure how you are storing/retrieving GEO information, but its wrong...at least for me it is
5. Just in my office - it seemed like one picture would have a different light saturation than another frame in the picture.
6. Your stitching of the pictures seems like it has a VERY low error tolerance, and you might try looking at other ways of matching and stitching pieces together so they are seamless.
7. After you have one panorama, instead of showing it at the beginning, have a gallery button, this way they can come into a screen of buttons and actually navigate with out having to use hard keys.
The above was meant to be constructive - please don't take offense, I think you have a good starting point with the app. If you need help with any of it let me know, I have a pretty decent Java/Android background, just no time to make my own apps.

I didn't understand the difference between the two different options for creating a panoramic pic (I don't remember what they were called, manage and auto I think)
I also didn't understand the point of levels
Also it would be nice when the stitching occurs if the app looked for overlap and then removed the overlapping parts of the pic.
Another suggestion would be that when you take a pic that is part of the panoramic shot that you leave it on screen and then overlay the camera view over it so you can better line up and tell where the next shot should be.

camera test
Will you please try downloading gcam and see how it takes pictures with gcam? both using HDR+ and regular.
GCam is the camera app from the pixel phones. there are versions of it for different phones (unofficially) here in xda.
I want to see how different the pictures are. i heard that they were using the S7 Edge camera sensor. that leads me to believe that the camera is potentially not bad. Basically that would be a win for all of us if true. will you put that to the test? thanks man. also i was looking to buy it to root as well but im not sure if you are up to go that far but if you do, let me know how it goes. thank you very much!

Gcam with hdr+ does help a ton! The camera is still a little slow but the ceo for razer said updates to address the camera are coming.
Is brightness as big an issue as some claim it to be? I dont often use my phone under the sun or even outdoor, but it still got me worrying.

IMHO,a resounding NO........
The display is plenty bright,adjust to your liking.
Adaptive lighting/auto brightness,I have both turned off.
I have yet to use a phone that suits me using either,always being too dim,this one is no different.
Crank it up to your liking manually & it's more than bright enough,with plenty to spare.
No phone is going to be as clear/bright/legible outdoors vs indoors.
From my experience/usage with many,many phones,there's negligible,if any,difference under sunlit/outdoor conditions from one phone to the next.
I'm sure you could detect negligible differences in a side-by-side comparison,but,that's not real-world usage,just for the bloggers/websites to have something to talk about.......
Rest assured,the screen is plenty bright,go ahead & dive in..................... :good:
Music player

I have used neutron for a while now, the gui is not the best, but it does have really good sound.
Has anyone tried emulating ps2 games or Wii yet i have seen videos of game play on the galaxy s8 . Curious if the hardware makes it more playable

It does have a music player Google Play Music is the default.
Does the included USB C DAC work with other USB C phones? Please list what phones you tested with if you do.

I rarely do video (almost never) on phone. So cant really tell.
But the most notable improvement was the auto HDR logic.
Previously (on .106 or .103), we wont be able to get an HDR picture without actually turning ON HDR mode. Thus when being compred to what we got on Pixel (i own pixel 2 as well so i can compare as well) we will find that P20 pro pic has less dynamic range, both on highlight and shadow area, which cause a lack of details.
On .107 the auto mode (Ai ON, Photo Mode -not night, not pro) do have better detection of what kind of scene being shot. When it detect that the highlight or shadow area are both quite strong in contrast, it trigger HDR automatically, and the result are much much better compared to older firmware result. The detail are coming out nicely, and there is less clipping on bright area.
You can notice when the HDR processing actually kicked in, by seeing, if the camera notify you to hold still the phone for a bit after pressing the shutter, you know the result will turned out better than you imagine.
sometimes it (the HDR) didn't kicked in though, i think its due to where i pick the focus area at. I have a more consistent result when i place a focus/metering to the dark area.
i'll attach 2 pictures in next post. one when the HDR automatically kicked in, and one when it doesnt.

Here you go :
1st picture is when HDR didnt kicked in (on older firmware, i can assure that most of the time the result will turned out like this, unless i enable HDR or night mode manually)
both picture taken almost at the same time.
please note that these was taken behind a dirty tinted office windows, so there would be details lost and flare/ color fringe all around. but it serve well for comparison
Good news! Thank you guys for sharing it.
Hmmmm, i'm on C636 as well, didn't get the 107c update till today....
Think u have to flash manually or wait until official release

am one of the earlier customer i guess, been using it since all my previous huawei, and 1 update only take 1 credit, so it wasnt that expensive.
for each huawei phone, i mostly do 2 or 3 updates (only when there's major update)
and normally i changed device already by the time another update come. (just like in mate 10 era, by the time 3rd update rolling out, i already moved to pixel 2 xl) :silly:

First I want to THANK YOU for this FANTASTIC explanation. Thx you so much!!! I search for someone on xda to tell me but no one know tell me the really difrence.
So now HDR is much more better on last update then before. And it is work like Pixel HDR.
I hope when next updates relise you will write difrence.
One more time THX YOU A LOT!
Hi folks - quick question. I have a CLT-L29 8.1.0.106 (C605). Firmware finder lists several firmware including a CLT-L29C605B121a
I am in the US and purchased the world unlocked version from sobeonline on eBay. Will flashing the 121a firmware from above screw up anything and does it wipe my data?
Been a long time since I messed with flashing firmware (back in the Nexus 5 days!) so thanks in advance for explaining.

Is there any GCMod with motion photo for OnePlus6 now?

I have tried many APKs at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk195 and some others for OnePlus5/5T.
They are not working.
Anyone have a solution for this problem?
THX.
Also didn't manage to find a working app that gives the same quality like I had with gcmod5 on OP3 before yet
MGC_5.2.022 yields pretty good results for me.
Gcam doesn't work properly with SD845 yet.

Does MGC_5.2.022 have dots on photos?
m really confused, wheather should i go ahead and buy op6 or should i wait for improved op6t !!
at oneplus experience store, i clicked a lot of pics, but certainly i am not satisfied with the quality which we used to get in op3t !! with a gcam mod. It just blows away. M using IP7 as a spare phone and camera is pretty good, m not a iphone guy. hopefully someone find out to make camera better. specifically, portrait mode ported from google pixel 2 ! fingers crossed.
Any version of Gcam I tried doesn't work on the 6. HDR+ seems to be nonfunctional. Maybe it really just isn't compatible with the SD845

It is not working.
After selecting model. either Pixel or Nexus and restart the app, it pops up with error.
If you do not select any model, HDR just don't running.

With SD 845 doesn't work HDR+; so it's usefuy, for now.
I got Urikills version of gcam to process the HDR+-shot twice. After that, no go. Tried to reproduce but cant make it happen. Settings were Pixel / Nexus 6 auto hdr+ / super fine.
Just saying that there is hope.

Tried the new GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-V3.apk today. Instant crash

Can you edit the intesity of the blur in portrait mode?

And if so, can you do it later?
Doubtful as that is in the post processing I believe. The reason people are looking for the Gcam port, or they would just adjust the current camera software.
Being a post-process is exactly why you should be able to do whatever you want woth the background. So is it a yes or a no? Can you do it with stock camera?
Actually I meant that it's done in the OnePlus algorithms. Meaning you'd have to be a camera expert to even know what does what. It's not like taking an APK and porting it. You'd have to rewrite it or know what to rewrite. At least this is what I'd expect

If I'm right its not possible with the current stock camera app
But if Oneplus tries and puts some effort on camera app ,they can
I really wish we could shoot in RAW format in portrait mode, does anyone know if that is possible? Or is it with the Gcam mod?

Wow, that's...that's game breaking for me honestly. I heard amazing things about OnePlus (5t and 6), especially in terms of gaming performance, and i was really looking into buying one (plus 6 ) in the near future. But i love taking pics in weekends and holidays and edit them later to my leisure.
I'm keeping my eyes on news of some update that fixes this limitation that shouldn't exist in the first place

If you're that worried about raw, you should be shooting with a dslr camera. These are point and shoot that has been given a manual mode but these are still not a replacement for a regular dslr.

I agree DSLR is best but it would be nice still if we could shoot raw format pictures in portrait mode still, I mean why do they give us portrait mode but can't do much post processing with it?

To me since I am a photography enthusiast (fairly serious) that the portrait mode is still just for quick snaps to give a more focus point of view on the subject, not for wedding photos and such. I get your point you still want to maybe do some editing. But I guess my point is if you like the phone for enough to want to buy it and raw photo editing is a thing, it sees that the OP should have looked for that from the beginning and not be shocked it's missing that feature 3 months after release in a forum post. Just my opinion
