Is there any app or hack to get access to the b/w mode like with the P9?

Okay my bad. I meant the b/w camera. B/w mode in honor 8 still uses the color camera.
I think even p9 uses same method as honor 8, that is filtering..
Whoever got p9 device, try covering the mono lense with finger in monochorome mode..if its showing popup that covering the lense, than that mono sensor just used for sharpening and details.
The honor 8 can't get solo access to the bw camera, it's just a filter for the colored lens. The p9 bw is the real deal

I did a little poking and digging with the "large aperture" jpegs produced by Honor 8. Because you can change the focus and fake bokeh afterwards, the jpeg has to contain extra data in addition to the final image (large aperture jpegs are much bigger than normal ones).
It turns out that those jpegs contain actually two jpegs in the file. First the fake-bokeh result, and then the original jpeg shot with the colour sensor. But there's almost a megabyte of data in addition to these jpegs. I tried to find out if that data is directly an image from the monochrome sensor (which is used to ccalculate depth information for the fake bokeh), but didn't manage to figure out the format of that data (and ran out of extra time).
IF that extra data is directly a monochrome image, then it would be easy to write an app which takes a large-aperture jpeg and extracts the monochrome sensor image from it. However, if the data is processed (into depth-map or similar), then this approach wouldn't work. I'll see if I can get anything out of the data when I'm less busy.

That's what I've heard about the Honor 8 with regards to the monochrome lens.
I'm wondering if you could do something as crude as flash a custom rom for the P9, and then just flash the H8 stock boot.img to maintain the kernel? I need to unlock my bootloader so I can start playing around.
*#2846#
Actually, you can acces and only test RGB and Mono camera in Honor 8 using some built in hardware tests by typing in *#2846#.
And no, it's not using bw filter. Try covering one lens while testing.
So, if that app can acces both bw and rgb cameras individually, maybe someone can write a simple app using code found in that test app.
You can just use the monochrome mode and it only uses the b/w lens.
They patched it in a few version ago, can't remember precisely when.
Right now on B394 it works fine

Google Camera Port by BSG and @sannn111ty for the Poco f1
If you don't really know why you are here, You can download Gcam here. Gcam is short for Google's camera app that ships with the pixels. Google has been making incredible advances in camera software that they put on their Pixel devices. Most of the magic of the camera quality of pixel's reside in the High Dynamic Range google algorithms. However, this software is not officially available for other devices. BSG is the first developer to have adapted Gcam for other devices. He now has a MI 8, which is very siùilar to the Pocophone, so his ports actually work pretty well on this phone.
Here is a list of the features that make google's software stand apart from all the other stock and 3rd party camera apps. (Not all of them are available in the ports, but more appear with time).
HDR + and HDR+ Enhanced: That's what most people want Gcam for. The app takes multiple pictures at different exposure levels and combines them to get even lighting. This photography technique is available on many stock cams, but Google's custom implementation of it is generally regarded as highly superior.
Super Res Zoom: That is a "usebug" feature. When you're taking a picture, unless you have a tripod, you can't hold the phone perfectly still. Google uses this slight movement to take multiple shots, which are then combined to make out more detail for the final image. Where other OEMs add a second camera, Google gives better results with just one.
Night Sight: where HDR combines multiple under-exposed shots, Night Sight does the same thing with over-exposed and longer exposed images. This produces impossible-before shots with way less noise and blur in very low-light conditions. In Daylight, Night Sight Mode also applies Super res Zoom to the image, giving a lot more detail to your pictures.
ZSL HDR+: ZSL stands for Zero Shutter Lag. As HDR uses multiple pictures, you need to wait for the phone to snap those multiple shots. ZSL essentially means your phone is always taking pictures and has a couple already buffered when you hit the shutter, so you don't need to wait.
Portrait Mode: That's blurring that background of an image behind a face. this is a trend on smartphones, and most OEMs implement it by adding a second camera on the back. the two sensors produce a slightly different image and you can calculate from the difference where to blur the image. But Google has decided not to add a second sensor to their phones. The way they pull it off is by local Artificial intelligence to detect faces and blur the rest.
Photosphere: This is essentially a 360° Panorama. You point around you and the phone takes, then stitches together, multiple images in a sphere around you. You can then view the pictures by moving them around with your fingers, or moving around your phone like a window around you.
Panorama: That is self-explanatory. like everything else, Gcam takes excellent panoramas.
Video Recording: Gcam Records video at up to [email protected]
Slow-Motion: this port can take slow-motion videos at up to [email protected]
Top Shot: Google's AI is now so good it know what a good image is like. If you hit the shutter too Soon or too late, Google will suggest another shot. It will actually take a dozen out of which you can choose, but will also suggest the best one.
Photobooth: As the camera is continually shooting and waiting for you to tap the shutter, why couldn't it do this for you too? Once Photobooth is on, you just leave your phone and it will take the picture on its own when it "sees something interesting", like a smile. Essentially, it's an AI photograph for group shots where everyone can fit in and lets you use the back sensor instead of the selfie cam.
Tracking Autofocus : As the name implies, once you click on an object while filming, it will keep the focus on it however it moves.
I am not a developer, but the subforum is for gcam ports, so here is the one for the Pocophone, with instructions and
Go to this thread, wich always has the last version up.
You are welcome to post your amazing pictures here :
These ports are specifically made for the Pocophone F1. They might or might not work on your phone.
If you find that our APK's work well on your other model, you can open a thread for your phone to help others find a working APK faster and discuss model-specific issues.
If you have bugs, something isn't working correctly, please don't just post "Not Working !!!!" That doesn't help. Give details :
- The model of your Phone, your ROM if you're using one, any fixes installed;
- The name of the apk you're using;
- Screenshots or video recordings of the bug if you're able to;
- A logcat if there's a crash;
- Steps to reproduce the bug/crash;

Try flashing twrp fix bro. It fixed my issue.
Try installing MIUI 10 v10.2.2.0 or higher , it should fix most of problems with gcam
Love this camera ...
I installed gcam and flashed twrp fix. I was using 10.1.3.0
After 10.2 I updated it and flashed twrp fix again for the lag issue.
Now I noticed that portrait mode is not working in stock camera. ?
i downloaded and it seems fine ...
Confused a bit, what is the difference between this and the one here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/themes/b-s-g-google-camera-port-developed-mi-8-t3843130
Update to miui 10.2.2.0 i installed the same version of gcam on miui 10.1.3.0 and it didnt work i manually updated to miui 10.2.2.0 and it worked to install it just use android studs guide
Maybe a dumb question.? How is "Motion" in GCam working? Is it working at all? I have never found any of these short videos. Where are they stored? I'm using a Pocophone F1.
Thank you
Working fine with poco rom stock mui 10.3.6
As seen in review Redmi note 7 pro comes with camera2api enabled out of the box.
So technically we can get full manual support like
Shutter speed of 30 sec,iso,manual white balance,manual focus and most importantly RAW and DNG support. It does have the the camera hardware and processor to handle this things.
Can you all test apps like Camera -fv,Open camera or Bacon camera to see the device performance:
1:Low light
2:Light trail
3very important and the main reason of this post)
Astrophotography or Milkyway shots
Main task take photo at night pointing at the sky with stars around and take a shoot with this setting
Iso( lowest setting possible)+30 sec or more shutter speed+focus infinity( save the image in JPG and DNG)
AND PLS UPLOAD THE RESULT

Welcome bro, and I added 18 more photos to the album. Dude the camera blows!!! This the most expensive phone I have purchased in my life and I could not be more happy.
In one particular photo on 48 mp, supersampling went wrong and the photo has color bands or spots.

Can u use a tripod or use headphone so that the camera doesn't move
Then go to pro mode and select this setting for stars picture
Point the camera to the sky make sure stars are visible to u
Focus (infinity)+ISO(100-400)+Shutter speed(30 sec)+ white balance auto
THEN TAKE THE PHOTO
NEXT SETTING
Focus (infinity)+ISO(1600-3200)+Shutter speed(30sec)+white balance auto
Now try camerafv 5 or bacon camera it doesn't matter if those app doesn't support the 48 no resulution and take photo with above mentioned setting just take photo in DNG(RAW) formats.
(you can google that and get some idea how will it look or what to expect)

I don't have a tripod but I'll try out what you said. And this camera really captures even the smallest of the details. If you download and zoom in some of these building photos you can even see sunlight reflecting into spaces in the societies parking area. Even the farthest objects can be looked at closed with good details. Very surprised.

Here you go buddy.
It wasn't very dark location and Milky way wasn't up , but you can se the big dipper.
ISO 1600 , Shutter 16s . I tried shutter speed of 32s but stars were trailing at that so used 16s.
I used stock camera on purpose because I wanted to see without any special efforts how is the quality.
And I can say I am impressed.
Straight out of camera image. No modifications whatsoever.
will try milky way in upcoming months.

The stock camera reduces sharpness on human subjects and boosts color to look pleasing to the eye even with beautify, AI mode turned off. So it's better to try some other camera for true experience.
If you want a proper stock, download Gcam and capture picture in RAW format.
A word of caution, the RAW images will look dull because no processing has been done on the images and they will be very large in size. Use Lightroom (Pc and Android Both) to fit it according to your need.
Added one more picture

The photos are awesome!
Can you share the exact camera settings used & whether you used the usual point and shoot mode or used pro mode?
If so the iso and shutter etc settings to get such perfect shots?
Also, were these captured on 48mp mode or default mode.?
Some issues:
My phone is just a week old while I have no issues with anything, whats bothering me is rear/main camera capturing daylight images with a yellow tint.
If I shoot anything indoors using an artificial light like cfl or led bulbs the shots come perfect and real in colors or textures and lighting.
Also, again the Red color seems isnt captured to the perfection. It is either captured as pink or orange.
I hope these are software issues or if the camera lens parses the light more in yellow.
Any expert to comment on this.
Very nice photos by phone

Hello guys
The BSG versions of the Gcam mod works really stable on our device. But there aren't optimized configs available, so the colors do need to get a little bit tweaked. In the newest versions, it's possible to save and load configs. So it would be nice if we can test some settings out. I also tried it, so you can use it as a base if you want.
Some notes about the changes:
SlibP Custom lib
some settings in "Additional modules settings" (much more to try out there, that's the main place to play around)
activated instantaneous hdr+ enhanced (hdr+ enhanced but without loading time [ZSL], but viewfinder lags a little bit while rendering the final image because of the phone's performance)
Location to place config file: \Download\MGC.8.1.101_Configs
Used Gcam version: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl16/
There is also a thread for the A52 5G. Because both devices use the same cameras, it would be great to have one place to tinker.
Which is the apk I have to download? Why are there so many options?
Is it OK to download the fist one?
Wierd, the Samsung cam has way more HDR.

Some manufacturers only give access to the cameras for specific package names. With the Samsung ones, you should be on the safe side. You can also install different versions with different names to make tests

Try to disable "instantaneous hdr+ enhanced" and make sure hdr+ enhanced is activated. I think the google stock libs are a little bit brighter, so it should also look more like HDR. There's also a setting to change how many pictures are combined for a HDR+ image, try to increase the value. For me, too much of an HDR effect makes the image unnatural
Do the app always need to restart everytime changing lense ? And I got weird flashes on screen while trying to take a picture.

I actually agree that Samsung's pictures look better (as in more accurate to real life) when in bright conditions. GCam has slightly lower noise, but no matter what HDR mode I choose, Samsung still has better HDR and the picture looks brighter overall. GCam's night mode is much better, though.
First one is Samsung, second is Gcam. Samsung's colours are closer to life. Keep in mind that the houses are brightly lit, as this was taken in the morning and they're facing East. For example the flowers in the pot in the balcony of the left house look very bright and vivid IRL. (The sharpness of the shadows near the roof is likely due to clouds moving)
First one is Samsungs, second is Gcam HDR+, third is Gcam HDR+ Enhanced
Both Gcam HDR+ Enhanced (7 or 15 frames doesn't do much), but first one with Google's AWB (like the previous ones), second one without. The second one looks much better, but a little over-saturated. One thing I did notice in the configs is that the AWB is set for a Sony IMX686 sensor, which I don't know if it is correct. I've been unable to find details on the sensor used in the A52. In any case, It seems that the takeaway here is to keep Google's AWB off.
These were all taken using @phoberus 's config file.

Thanks for the testing. I can confirm that the brightness and colors are not quite good yet. But almost everything should be adjustable. So we still have to test a bit. The sensor I got from gsmarena.com, but is just a guess from them. By default, Pixel2 would be active, which is certainly not correct, but also worked.
Brightness correction: Additional modules settings > Lens x > Exposure compensation
saturation: Additional modules settings > Lens x > Ram Patcher > Saturation (off means it gets the variables from the lib, there are also other nice settings there to create our own lib)

phoberus' config crashes my GCam viewfinder. I can't test the actual image quality yet since it's the middle of the night here as I'm posting this message.
So I tried Nikita's version, in terms of Color and HDR (default) it's the closest to the default camera app. I'm still playing around with the settings, so pictures to follow.
So, M51 has a similar camera setup with A52 so I thought I'd use a GCAM version from the M51 GCAM thread. Just testing Night mode and it's very clear that GCAM (right) works better. I'll edit this post to include more samples later.

I actually tried a version of Greatness' GCAM and produced better daytime pictures, color was somewhat natural but it had better details (not noise). Unfortunately, I can't get the wide-angle lens and videos to work so I scrapped it.
I honestly don't mind the issues regarding color/hdr issues since a quick application of a vibrance filter is almost indistinguishable from the default cam. I mean it could be what the default samsung camera app is doing.
Edit: Also strange thing, low light (outdoor dusk scenario) and I get plenty of noise on GCAM compared to the default cam.
