Google Camera APK for Galaxy S9 SM-G9600 (Snapdragon 845) - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello guys,
Can anyone tell if there is a Google Camera APK that works on the Galaxy S9 SM-G9600 (snapdragon 845 processor)? I looked for all possible sites and found for version with Exynos processor, which worked in Galaxy with snapdragon, except the portrait modes, which left the application with very leg and sometimes crash in the app.
Anyone who has an S9 with snapdragon could indicate some apk that actually works? I do not really like the native app, I think the colors tend to be yellowish and poorly sharp, the google camera application does a much better job.
Thank you.

I wanna latest version for S8 plus Exynos

I found a working one for my Unlocked Snapdragon S9+ today. Go to the site I linked and grab the first One Plus apk. That one worked for me. Be aware that the front camera portrait mode doesn't seem to work. Lens blue does though and produces a similar bokah effect.

Idan's builds works best for me on my Snapdragon S9+ https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-idan/
Give it a try, and if that doesn't work, try one from another dev.

Idan's build crashes on startup for me and the phone reboots. That's why I suggested the build that I did.
My phone is also a Snapdragon S9+.

Just ran the security update that Samsung pushed out and now the IDan build works for me as well. It's confusing that it says it's for Exynos processors, but it's working on Snapdragon.

For me it did not work the apk developed by Idan, I will try the apk made for Oneplus 6. I also did not receive security update from samsung, after that update I will try again the apk of Idan. I have a gakaxy s9 128gb (sm-g9600).

Actually, portrait works, but is live view is very laggy.

Camera Comparasion - GCAM S9 vs Stock S9
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BhEcmoGRzR_Cc-sa6CRZi-YEMaMZIphV
- Do not forget to zoom in to see the details of each photo!
- I do not know why, but the angle got more open in the photos taken with the google camera app.
- Portrait dont work for me, much laggy!
I made a comparison to see how the google app is far superior in selfies.
I used the last Idan apk, as it was made for Exynos processors. Portrait mode dont work, just Lens Blur mode.
I did not edit any settings, because the app closed when something changed in the congifurations, but it was possible to make the quality much better if I configured HDR + for Pixel 2 XL, 100% HDR quality, etc ...
See how even in Lens Blur mode, the cut is much better than the Samsung app, the colors are much more natural and the difference in sharpness and contrast is far superior.
The rear camera for me the quality is very similar, gcam has less exposure and a bit more detail while samsung app over exposure and a bit less detail.
I hope someone creates a stable version for the galaxy S9 and S9 + with snapdragon processors .
@IDan1109

The portrait mode does work, the live screen is laggy, but as soon as I hit capture, it takes the picture. The crazy part to me is even though I'm on my couch, you can see that it blurs it out. So, it's not trying to emulate a bokah effect as you would get on a high end camera.
(I don't know why the upload came out rotated, it does up correctly in the gallery)

For me the portrait mode does not work, when I click to take the picture the app does not work and sometimes it closes.
Testing some apk by IDan, practically all showed to be the most stable for Galaxy S9 with snapdragon, some could configure everything at maximum.
I think there is little left for these IDan apks to work on the Galaxy S9 with Snapdragon, as overall it's just solving the laggy problem in portrait mode and in some cases it looks like the photos are not saved.

Could someone help please?
Please, if any developers are willing to develop a google camera apk for Galaxy S9 with snapdragon processors, this apk is the most stable:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76929647&postcount=477 by @IDan1109
@Arnova8G2 @cstark27 @SKULSHADY
Using the default configuration (I did not make any changes, I left it the way it was when opening the apk for the first time), Problems I encountered:
1) Portrait mode with a lot of laggy, some report that even with this laggy the pictures are taken, in my case push the button to take photo nothing happens. The lens blur mode works great.
2) The battery is drained with this apk
3) Slow motion does not work.
The rest have been working very well apparently, panoramic mode, sphere mode, lens blur. I had no problems with the HDR +, it worked very well in all modes in this apk.
I think people are looking for this app to take pictures with the front camera, because it is much superior to the native app in S9, especially portrait mode! If someone can solve the problem in portrait mode, it will be a great help!
I tested with a Galaxy S9 128GB (SM-G9600)
Thanks!
Edit 05/07/20118
I tested this apk by IDan and I thought the best experience so far in my Galaxy S9.
Pixel2Mod V7
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76345648&postcount=78
I put all possible options at most, I realized that the function exposure slow shuter makes some visible difference in the quality of the photos.
The portrait mode works with a lot of laggy, as long as it does not try to focus manually with touch screen, I let app focus alone.
Improved HDR + mode sometimes does not work, but it worked most of the time. I didn'r have problems with HDR+ acitivate.
I don't know if it's normal but the post processing leaves the skin whiter, I wish it would look like the app shows on the screen, but that's an irrelevant problem for now.
The beteria was also drained, I believe it is a consequence of this app, which consumes a lot of battery even, because everyone I tested heard this problem.
I found the best experience for being able to use portrait mode, which was not possible with the app I tested earlier.

my device is an S9 plus snapdragon, and no app can run the HDR +, sad.

Try this apk, I think it will work. The "improved HDR+" may not work if you force the app to close and try again. The portrait works for me pretty laggy, as long as you do not try to focus manually, patiently let the app focus on its own.
You can enable: Auto-exposure mode: Slow shutter / HDR + Super high / JPEG HDR + 100%. Don't forget to force close after enable this settings.
This is the best apk for Galaxy S9 with snapdragon, I hope someone can develop based on this app a stable apk.

State: INACTIVE - GCAM APK
@IDan1109 @Arnova8G2 @cstark27 @SKULSHADY
Is that a problem? I noticed that when I try to use portrait mode, it gets very laggy and it always appears this:
AF Focus: Continuous_Picture State: INACTIVE
roi:? lens: 10.00 sc: false
When I use normal camera modes this does not happen. Appers this:
AF Focus: Continuous_Picture State: PASSIVE_FOCUSED
roi:? lens: 3.70 sc: false
I'm using apk Pixel2Mod V7 by IDan
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Fz08xDKUDUCVzSU3uDXxlgdw0ThBG4Ar

another mistake I noticed in the version of Idan 3.2.9 was that the photos do not work with Flash

Is not a mistake. IDan does not support s9 or s9+. Don't expect any of these to work right, and we don't need every little issue you find to be reported here. Not until someone actually does a s9/s9+ port is that stuff helpful

miss you s8 kkkkk

friend ... I could not make HDR + work in this app ... only in the newer Idan version, do you have any special settings? I just managed to make this app work by going into selfie mode, changing the settings for Pixel 2017, and putting HDR + quality at 100%

Google Camera Port

I'm hoping this is the correct forum...
I downloaded the Google Camera Port from XDA, and I was wondering if anyone knew what the best settings were for the HTC U11+?
Support level override
Supported HW back camera
Buffer size
Etc...
Cheers
i used gapps camera apk,but i crashed when using the slow motion.
anyone had an idea to fix the issue.thanks.

Same here actually, thanks!!!- I hadn't used slow motion yet
I'll see if I can find a fix and let you know if I do
new version have portrait mode
hope u11+ can have a port :angel::highfive:
https://www.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-portrait-mode-port-non-google-android-oreo/
Scroll down after reading and click non pixel devices. Download and install. Slow mo doesn't work I believe.
For some reason I can't see the pictures that the app takes.. All it shows in the bottom right is a black circle.
Use Arnova's 1.3 version (marked with red text and bold) from today on U11+ from here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I am using the front camera HDR+ version and it has portrait mode as well, which works great for rear camera but not so good with front camera. Front camera with HDR+ is way better than the front camera of stock HTC app. So, its my daily driver now except for the slow-mo mode.
Thanks, I have downloaded this, and will check back in after testing
It seems v1.3 is no longer in red and bold, it's stable now (unless I've got the wrong one.... first in the list?)
thanks, at least the arnova verison seems to work! however, can't really see much of a difference between portrait mode and normal mode?
Portrait mode works a treat for me
I think you have to be fairly close, 2- 3 feet or so
Also, after taking the shot, it shows you a before and after portrait effect. Maybe you're seeing the before effect. At the bottom of the photo review screen the are two thumbnails, you can switch between to show before and after

Any dev can port Pixel 2 camera to Samsung S8? Edit: Camera Link available

https://chromloop.com/2017/12/apk-enable-portrait-mode-nexus-5x6p-og-pixel-phone-google-camera-mod/
As google pixel 2 camera is ported to Pixel, 5x and 6p
I wish any dev can port it for Samsung S8 also that would be really great
We dont need secondary camera then for portrait mode and less intelligent selective focus also.
Not My work just sharing in Main post as user don't have to search the entire thread -
Here is a link to the camera mentioned above:
Camera: MGC_5.1.016_7.0+C2API_v.1.3d_AllinOne.apk
Settings:
Model: Pixel 2XL
Config: Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto
HDR+ Parameters: Super High
Final JPG Quality: 100%
I would like a working port of that aswell. The results of the HDR+ port are already amazing.
We could call out a bounty for port-development. I for one would be happy to donate some bucks for a working port.
Talking about the exynos version of course
Edit: A Version with portrait mode is already running on Galaxy Note 8 with oreo beta.... of course it´s snapdragon only

yup first exynos than snapdragon
I Appreciate To see pixel 2 xl camera app on s8 with new vr effect ( i want r2d2 near me )
I wish for that too. I love my S8+ so far, only missing feature is portrait mode. I wonder why Samsung doesn't officially push a software update with software blur added like the Pixel 2. And also I highly doubt any such ports will be made for the Exynos variants, Snapdragon probably.
@Arnova8G2 - Will it be possible to support the Samsung s8 with your mod? I tried Version 1.3 but it didn't seem to work.

Only front camera working in normal camera mode and video mode. Portait mode not working, and back camera only in video mode. S8 exynos.
Portrait mod is working on s8+. its bit buggy right now. Few crashes and stuck.But it worked for some times and the outputs was perfect. Will be looking out for future updates. 2 images will be saved. image with blur and without blur. I am still on nougat.
We have this portrait mode ever since but with a different name and it's called selective focus.. idk why people keeps on whining about the portrait mode..

Not the same. Selective focus is not very good at seperating the background.

Working Pixel cam with HDR+ and standalone portrait on s8 (exynos-nougat)

This is not my work. I'm only providing links of others work, and hope someone can develop the app further for s8.
This is the version I found that has working front and back camera included tap to focus.

Config cam: Nexus 6 hdr+
Hdr+ parameter: High

My findings: Great detail( good for portraits), preserves highlights, some more noise, pinkish/purple edges in very low light, some halo/rainbow effect in some pics, fast shutter (great for capturing movement out and indoor).
Update1. Portrait
Working Portrait mode for back camera only. In this version tap to focus i slow.
Tip for the full experience is installing this version with AppCloner app (change name to portrait) and have both versions installed at the same time. Use this version just for Portrait mode.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75118407&postcount=252

Is the the latest version of Google cam or the old version of Google cam?
Yes, One of the latest working cam on s8. You could try newer versions ( se "Kisakuku" s other uploads and see if it works). There seem to be small difference in photo quality among different versions.
Thanks
There is a newer versione with portrait mode. but here on my G950F don't works. Hope to get it very soon. Probably it's working for snapdragon version.. hope we will get on exynos too!! https://www.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-portrait-mode-port-non-google-android-oreo/
Try this mod with your setting. I worked very well but very slow when i took the picture. Due of the hdr + is this normal ? Sometimes the image is freezing or black for few second.
Yes,hoping for a working portrait mode. Also that some of the other issues mentioned get fixed.
The app isnt perfect but I'm thrilled it works so well on an non pixel/snapdragon phone. One downside is the processing time and shutter lag. That isnt the same as slow capturing the moment. The shutter is fast when taking picture and freeze movement more often than on stock. The pics for me turns out great. Even better results than the same app on s7 (installed on my girfriend's phone). Both picture quality and the image stabilization function. I now even use this app more than native S8 camera.
A tip is to install BxActions and use doublepress on the bixby button to open the camera.
Yep i wanna try some shoots someday for comparisons.
Honestly i don't even know we can capable working hdr + on exynos.
So thanks for this ?

Can confirm Portrait mode is working on the Oreo Beta on rear cam only (based on the settings in your attachment). The results I have to say are brilliant. Not sharing any pictures of my ugly mug with you all though haha!
But why works only with faces?
R U kidding me? It´s called Portrait Mode and a Portrait ist per definition a photo of a humenbeing! Why don´t you use the selective focus from the stock cam for other things you want to shoot?

Nokia 7 plus GCam mod for Android P (9.0) Dev Preview

Greetings fellow 7 plus users!
I've seen some requests here and (mostly) on Nokia community forum for a working GCam port on Nokia 7 plus Android 9.0 Developer Preview, which is a pretty fair phenomenon, since the stock Nokia camera is still a bit unpolished (ridiculously high exposure and lack of shadows for me). While there weren't 100% working ports, today I found a nearly perfect version on a GCam port repository website (URL: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/). I tried many apks, but this was the single one in which I couldn't find any major bugs. Also worth mentioning that portrait mode and HDR+ works fine as well. There is also well-functioning portrait and slow-motion mode. The only minor bug is a small "5 second burst" pop-up text always visible in normal camera mode, but that is an acceptable compromise in exchange for the working functions. Also, sometimes the photos are a bit brighter than they should be. I guess it requires some tinkering in the settings, but I didn't have too much time to actually find out what causes it. As soon as I find the fix for it, I'm going to update the post.
C R E D I T :
The port was made by @fu24 based on @Arnova8G2 's port. Colossal thumbs up for them.
P H O T O S :
Also, I attached 3 sample photos. The first one is a normal image in Auto-mode taken with the stock Nokia camera app, the second is also a normal photo in Auto-mode taken with the GCam mod app, while the third is a portrait-mode shot. As I said, the brightness is a bit too much, but the details are fantastic. Hint: it's worth taking a look at the sky and the reflections on the car when comparing the two images.

I've seen some requests here and (mostly) on Nokia community forum for a working GCam port on Nokia 7 plus Android 9.0 Developer Preview, which is a pretty fair phenomenon, since the stock Nokia camera is still a bit unpolished (ridiculously high exposure and lack of shadows for me). While there weren't 100% working ports, today I found a nearly perfect version on a GCam port repository website (URL: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/). I tried many apks, but this was the single one in which I couldn't find any major bugs. Also worth mentioning that portrait mode and HDR+ works fine as well. There is also well-functioning portrait and slow-motion mode. The only minor bug is a small "5 second burst" pop-up text always visible in normal camera mode, but that is an acceptable compromise in exchange for the working functions. Also, sometimes the photos are a bit brighter than they should be. I guess it requires some tinkering in the settings, but I didn't have too much time to actually find out what causes it. As soon as I find the fix for it, I'm going to update the post.
C R E D I T :
The port was made by @fu24 based on @Arnova8G2 's port. Colossal thumbs up for them.
PS.: If you find a better alternative, or you find a good configuration scheme for this one, go on and share with us!

I think maybe someone wants to try to use the second back camera. You can switch lens with the "Toggle back camera ID".
But I can't guarantee that it is suitable for Nokia 7 Plus. I must explain that I am just a beginner with limited ability. I really don't have the ability to fix other problems.
To use the second back camera, if the phone does not even report all cameras through the Camera2 API ( Includes second back camera ) (use Camera2Test app to verify your device info). You need to install the zoomfix module.
I tried that option, but it resulted in force close. :/ The highlight/shadow saturation options might refine the photos though, I'm going to try them later today.
Edit: Tried it. Increasing both value made just the perfect photo.
Also, unfortunately I can't install zoomfix due to the lack of bootloader unlock possibility.
I posted in another thread what I probably should've posted here, but I didn't see this thread until later.
I think the 7 Plus has the same camera sensor as the X4 (based on research and sensor data).
Here's the variants that work best for our sensor. I'm thinking you may have luck with the following versions of the Google camera:
This version is excellent in low-light and general photography. This is the best version as far as noise and color accuracy go, it's superb. It's also very easy to set up. Simply set your desired HDR+ quality, and that's it.
And this second version I use as a backup, because sometimes the other camera port will drop shutter speeds indoors for better lowlight performance.
If I'm right about our sensors being identical, you should have good results. The lens on the 7 Plus is even better than the X4, so I'm excited to see what images can be captured. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be completely Android P compatible (of course, since it's just a dev preview). Slow-mo crashes the app, and sometimes portrait too, but other than that it's a working version with nice results.

Gotcha; that worries me for once P lands on my device. Stock vs. the Google camera ports is no contest, and I don't see that changing. Good luck with the 7 plus.
Which version work's for you guys on P beta?

Known issue. We need special port.

It's not working, the Portrait mode is not capturing the bokeh effect. When the motion is on, after taking snap the app gets crashed.

Finally a new working Google Camera app..?

Arnova8G2's Google Camera Port got updated days ago with a new version : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79011638&postcount=1333 - I'm on Oreo Stock.
When i install it (not the TinNeun version, the other one), the app doesn't crash but screen is black.. Perhaps a little tweak and it'd all work?

Wanna know as well
Here is a full working Google Pixel Camera V.5.1 with HDR+ and 4K Video Record (30FPS) for the S7 Exynos modded by IDan1109 :
Video only works in 1920x1080p (Full Hd) I also set the Picture Quality from 97 to 100 and Picture back camera to 16/9 and i set "Remove the ISO limit in dark conditions" - on
FOR 4K VIDEO RECORDING and Hevc activate hevc in devloper options from Gcam app and install the Magisk Modul Samsung UHD Camera2 Fix and ARCore from Playstore
Tested on S7 Exynos! Dont change to 60 FPS in video Mode otherwise you must uninstall and install the app again for video to work again. The pictures with HDR+ are much better compared with Zero Camera Mod HDR.

The 6.1 gets forced closed when i open it and it does not have all that options (settings) like V.5
I get a v. 6 to work but compared with v.5 the quality in 5 is much better!
Please tell us which v6 fully works for you (night mode..)

--If the camera lags or crashes, go to settings > advanced > FIX > viewfinder format > change it to YUV_420_888.
I can't even go to settings : it crashes at launch..! I'm using stock oreo. Do i know to install some patch (magisk or else)?
I am currently quite impressed by the GCAM xenius0 mod version provided by ExpressLuke. I guess it is still based on 5.1. Nevertheless, night shots look great. Besides Lens Blur, all works fine on my S7 Exynos (stock ROM). Here is the download link (scroll down to Google Camera Port): https://expressluke.ml/pages/extras.html
Best, maris

Interesting, never heard about that one before, i hardly imagine a v5 better than Irdn though, would you mind telling us what's better with it?
My feeling is that pictures at night are less noisy, and flash-light indoor picture are more homogeneously illuminated. I am using the default settings.

I have been taking pictures with this version for a while, I would recommend setting ON the "reduce contrast" for better shadow detail and adding in "Advanced setting HDR+" options, 1.2 in highlights saturation.
Just test it.
