Camera mod for Pixel 2 - Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Camera6 - based on build v.1.0.14 final from 10/14/18
Probably the final version on this base, tried to bring the settings menu to a more convenient and understandable form.
Use lib with reduced contrast.
The video resolution of the "Motion" function is increased to fullhd, in 4: 3 mode - the movement will be written in the same way in 16: 9 (before it was 4: 3 640x480)
It is placed as a normal application, next to the main camera.

Google Camera Mods​
Hi everyone. Finally i'm happy to say that i've successfully fixed/ported/changed 3 different version of Gcam that are fully working for our device! This versions are based on @miniuser123 , @Arnova8G2 and @oganyan-arthur .
First of all i'm not a developer i'm just a student of electronic engeneering that enjoys taking pics and that enjoys much more Google's Camera than Samsung's one!
I struggled a lot to make those apk working (that is == to waste time instead of studying for my courses ) beacuse i've never been into this field so don't expect anything more from me.
How to Install
Steps:
- Uninstall your current version of Gcam
- From smart manager clean up the memory (YES, sometimes it's needed beacuse after i tried a lots of different verisons of Gcams i messed up something more then the app cache itself)
- Install the app
- After the first setup close (or better force close) the app to apply all the settings
- Done!
V8.3b Base
Stability: Medium
v0 Features:
- User friendly version with remade settings menu and some stability improvements
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KxDUQsYJkfttKlvLDU4HAC5ciHKBPGkl | Mirror

v1 Features:
- Some extra setting (RAW funcitons, Lens Blur Nexus 6 HDR config)

v2.8 Features:
-fixed slow shutter (let me know)

-Added italian language (and soon probably spanish and french)
-Rearranged a bit the menu the have to most used stuff on the very first settings menu
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Qu_90fKH5_EiDM8v6nzCl2ATfEMPtFpa | Mirror
Stability: Good
3.1 Features:
- Added "wavegenerator" lib that allow higer ISO values

-Rearranged a bit the menu the have to most used stuff on the very first settings menu
-Added bitrate settings for video(still 60 fps don't work) you can go up to 100 Mbps
-Other minor changes
I aimed to do a no config apk for exynos s8. That means that now you don't have to restart or forceclose the app after the clean install to set the settings. Everything should be ok now the only issue i found is that sometimes, after the first install only, beacuse i forced the camera selector to choose Pixel 2017 HDR, the app may crash but just after the first install and in no other situation.

Stability: Good
3.1.2 Features:
-enabled by default "temporal binning". Can improve processing time

-changed the Very High HDR config. Now will take a fixed burst of 20/24 (Pixel 2017/Nexus 6) processing time is longer but we can try to compare the result with (8/10 burst). As always you MUST restart the app to apply those settings!!

Stability: Good
3.2 Features:
- Now you can select the path where to save the photos (doesn't work on sd card but probably can work with some xposed mod. I've tried to make it work with a magisk module and it works but the preview in gallery is broken).

- Removed custom denoise param and other settings
-Now the app will restart every time you go back from settings to the viewfinder. This means that you don't need anymore to restart the app to apply settings
-Now there are three gestures in the viewfinder:
1. double tap on the black area it will pop the exposure menu directly
2. long-press on gallery and it will open samsung gallery instead of google photos
3. long press on the switch camera and after the restart the viewfinder brightness will be set to maximum
- some minor changes and dark theme now as default theme

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why the app is not installing?
A: Make sure you uninstall first the previous version
Q: Why i'm getting "parsing error" or errors when i try to install the apk?
A: Download the apk with the browser and NOT with the Drive app or use mirror links.
Q: Why i have still pink potrait mode?
A: Follow the Install instructions.
Q: Why slow-motion/ 60fps (or whatever you want)
A: Because i don't see the point of doing videos with Google Camera Ports beacuse Samsung camera it's doing a good job on that.
This doesn't mean i wont fix them either.
Q: On the device XYZ the app is not working.
A: I only support S8/S8+. I know on other Exynos devices it works (N8,S7,S6) so maybe i can take a look for them. If you ask for everything else i will just ignore your report.

A little bit of boring theory
Introduction
Everyone in this thread is asking for what are the best options? The short answer is default. The long answer is it depends. To get the best results out of this mod you need to understand what all the options are and how they work. It is more similar to a professional camera where you have all the strange options to play with and you don't know what they do. You start changing all the values and then when you take a picture you are like "wut is this i took a picture of this beautiful panorama and it looks like a Picasso painting". To avoid that situation keep reading this post so you can understand what i'm talking about.
The basics
First of all before taking any picture you need to clean the lenses you are going to use. This seems to be trivial for someone but this are the results if you don't do it.
Clean vs. Dirty
The settings
Here you can find the explaination of what the settings do and how they work. I will add more in the future. If you don't know what shutter speed is or ISO google is your friend.
-Config. HDR+ camera
Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto: more dynamic range and quality (less noise). You can set all the Auto-Exposure modes but as downside you have the shutter lag so you should be careful to find the right time to shoot a photo with moving objects.
-Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+: (ZSL = zero shutter lag HDR+)
Less dynamic range, and more noise in low light because slow shutter mode is NOT available. However it is much better in good/medium light if you make photos of moving objects, because it processes images already taken in the background. In low light, or high contrast scenes please use Enhanced HDR+
-HDR+ parameters:
It is recommend using one of the Pixel 2017 options, because they should be more stable regarding memory leak.
"High", "Very high" and even "Default" leak memory if pixel 2017 config is used.
Description for "HDR+ parameters": for example 8/10 burst means that HDR+ operates with 8 shot bursts. Portrait mode (ZSL) operates with 10 shot bursts at most. In my personal opinion Low or Very Low HDR+ are very similiar or equal to High or Pixel values but people prefer higher values for reasons uknown.
-HDR+ Auto-Exposure mode No-ZSL:
Everything that is No-ZSL means that will not work if "Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+" is set for the back camera!
If you want to use custom Auto-Exposure and HDR+ for front camera you have to disable "Portrait ZSL mode".
"Slow shutter" will decrease shutter speed as much as possible in bad light. The result: much lower ISO and noise. Of course fast moving objects will probably get blurry more easily.
Slow shutter x8 is not stable for front camera but you can use x4 or x2. The max exposure time is 1/3 for the slow shutter x4.Sometimes you can get in trouble with x4 if you take a picture then you look at the gallery (black screen). But you wont have any problems if you take multiple pictures and then switch to x2 and look ad the gallery.
Selecting "Stock camera2 api" will get rid of rainbow effect, but dynamic range is poor, because camera can't underexpose fast enough if auto shutter control is on.
-Antibanding modes
Anti-banding allows the camera to avoid problems caused by artificial light sources that are not constant (flicker for want of a better description) these are typically florescent tubes but also multiplexed bulbs and PWM controlled LED’s (and your TV screen for similar, if not quite the same reasons) These sources cycle (flicker) fast enough to go unnoticed to the human eye, appearing continuous, they key word here being human. The camera’s eye (its sensor) can still see this flicker.
Only select 50hz or 60hz (dependig on where you live) in case of banding problems, because it can cause suboptimal shutter speed otherwise! Works up to 1/149 sec shutter speed.
-Denoise strength for HDR+ and portrait
Self explanatory. It will increase the denoise strenght for higer values.
For front cam you need to select about 2-300% to really see the difference. Back cam is much more sensitive to this setting.
-Underexposure multiplier (HDR+ dynamic range control)
Reduce below 100% to decrease rainbow effect. Should also overexpose if set to 0 with a good light source. Higher values means lower exposure.
-Samsung specific metering modes
Touch to expose is enabled by default. So won't have the touch to focus option. With "Centered" mode it will focus what it is in the center and then you can adjust the exposure by touching the area! This is a good option beacuse if you want to get the best results from HDR+ you'll need to adjust the exposure only and not the focused object at the same time.
-Samsung Live HDR mode:
Adds some dynamic range to modes where HDR+ is not available like zero shutter Portrait mode. No Rainbow effect in HDR+ mode if this is selected, but noise is encreased if isn't used in place where you don't have a good light source!
-Custom White Balance:
You can lower greens, or whatever colour you want (This would affect HDR+ ONLY). Adjust it accordingly to your taste!

What is the difference of the version 8.3 beta published by miniuser123 with the one published here?
Pixel ZSL mode now works on s8 now in this model.
If u can eliminate the processing time in s8 oreo, it would be great. Earlier in nougart it took much much less time to process afterwards. But since oreo it takes abt 10 second to process the photo after clicking.
Also if u can get slow shutter x4 and x8 working properly in low light.
Anyway thanks for your time.
Which are you recommended for HDR and portrait?
How can i enable RAW on the mod8.3b Variant ? Thanks for your hard work!
Can u add mirror selfie also.

I think slow shutter x2 forces shutter speed to 1/4 so it makes it slower when shooting it also makes the camera driver default sometimes crashes because it is not auto sensor, especially if backlight conditions are very difficult to force into a speed of 1/4 so sometimes do not want to take pictures .. btw if you want slow shutter x4 and x8 work in lowlight try to increase underexposer to 200. coz underexposer value gives the signal a dark light condition, the higher the darker the camera is to run the slow speed for the shutter to brighten the photo.
If any one dont mind then i can ask something?
What is ZSL?

In this mode the camera app takes photos continuously, even before pressing the shutter, so when you press the shutter, it just processes and saves the pictures that were already taken.
great, will try when upgrade to O from Nou on FE ^^ thanks in advance!

Can you please stop worrying about snapdragon? They have so many apks working for them.​
Currently using Arnova8G2's Pixel3Mod v1 with great stability and image quality on a G950U. The only issue is the app crashes when switching to 4K video for either rear or front camera and no ZSL feature. Everything else works including Slow Motion and AR stickers.

Themes / Apps / Mods [CLOSED] Google Camera Mod For Poco X3 Pro (Bhima/Vayu) [ Beta (8.4) ]

Poco X3 Pro is a device capable of delivering amazing photos with the help of Google-Camera Mod which has gained a lot of popularity in the past recent years. The aim of this thread is to provide the vayu community with the latest news and updates about our Google-Camera Mod.
The latest available G-Cam Mod is 8.4 version which is now in beta stage and pretty usable for daily use. All features are working very well with the exception of face retouching. A lot of work has been put into this version and many significant advancements have been made towards solving various bugs and improving the stability and output quality of this Google-Camera Mod.
Bugs:
• Face Retouching Not Working
• No Ultra Wide & Macro Lens Support Yet ( Should Be Added In Future Builds )
Download Links & Steps To Be Followed :
1.You Can Download Google-Camera 8.4.300 Beta Made By Arnova8G2 From HERE.
2.You'll Need To Import Gca File Into Gcam Now.
• How To Load:
Settings > Advanced > XML Config > Select Config > Browse & Select The GCA File
• Download The Gca File From HERE.
3.Now You'll Need A Config (XML) File To Apply The Necessary Changes To Enhance The Experience And Output Of The Gcam Optimised Specially For The Device.
• How To Load :
Step 1 - Move This File To The Following Location Internal > GCam > Configs8 (Create An Folder If Its Not There)
Step 2 - Then Double Click The Empty Space Next To The Shutter Button And Select The XML
• Download The Config (XML) File From HERE
NOTES:
Android 11 & above users must grant full file permissions to Google-Camera in order to be able to load xml configs
( Long-press on G-Cam icon > Info > See More > Permissions > Files and Media > Allow management of all files )
To prevent slow-motion/video focus hunting issues, tap to focus on the viewfinder and lock AF/AE by tapping the lock icon on top of the EV slider or DISABLE stabilization.
[ PRO Back Camera Tip ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the viewfinder for a better exposure. Focusing manually will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure the subject will be well exposed
[ PRO Front Camera Tip ]
When shooting a selfie with strong light coming from behind or when shooting in low-light, your face may be underexposed. To counteract this issue, tap to focus on your face and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure your face will be well exposed
For smoother selfies with less facial details on HDR+ Enhanced, Take Selfies In Night Sight Mode. (Hack For Beauty Mode LOL).
IMPORTANT: A clean install is always recommended prior to using Google-Camera in order to avoid possible functionality issues with the app! First uninstall all G-Cam apps currently found on your system » install G-Cam » open it and grant permissions » close G-Cam » clear G-Cam data and cache » open G-Cam and apply the settings/config » reboot device
Enjoy Google-Camera 8.4 on your vayu !

Hello everyone! It took us a while but A73 finally got some development done and is ready for GSI or ROM usage. Both of which has it's own problems. Mainly camera quality. Samsung being samsung and qualcomm being qualcomm, we don't have full access to cameras in 3rd party apps so if we go outside samsung's ecosystem, our camera quality suffers. Patrick from A73 Photography telegram group started publishing libraries and config files for gcam. He gave me permission to repost it here so I'll keep this thread updated as he updates his configs.
For anyone who is out of touch, Google Camera is the camera app of Google Pixel phones. Over the years people modded and ported this app to take advantage of many configurations being done in the background. There are dozens of developers and forks of this app but I'll focus on the versions that we have config for in this thread. Currently we have configs for LMC by hasli, AGC by BigKaka, MGC by BSG and SGCAM by Shamim.​
Not sure which one to pick?
You probably want most recent LMC.

How to use?
Spoiler: AGC
- Move the files to your phone.
- Install AGC apk.
- Click "More settings" from settings top left.
- Allow file access permission.
- Click "Load Configs" from settings on top left.
- It should give you the location for configs. Default is /sdcard/Download/AGC.8.8/configs/
- Move .agc file to Download/AGC.8.8/configs/ folder. If "configs" folder doesn't exist, create it yourself.
- Now click "Load Configs" again and you should see our config. Click load.
- Navigate to "More settings > Lens Settings > Main (1.0x) > Noise Model > Import Noise Model"
- Find .c file that you placed on your phone via pop up. Noise Model now should say GalaxyA73_S5KHM6_0_noise.c
There is a video in our telegram channel if you couldn't find the right menus.
Spoiler: LMC
- Move the files to your phone.
- Create a folder called LMC8.4 in your main storage.
- Create a folder called LIBS in LMC8.4 folder.
- Move .xml file to LMC8.4 folder.
- Move .so file to LMC8.4/LIBS folder.
- Install and open LMC app.
- Double click the empty spot between gallery and shutter buttons.
- Select CMR config and click import.
- After it is done do it again (config is too large for a single pass, this makes sure every value is used)
Spoiler: SGCAM
- Move the files to your phone.
- Create a folder called SGCAM in your main storage.
- Create a folder called LIB in SGCAM folder.
- Create a folder called XML in SGCAM folder.
- Move .xml file to SGCAM/XML folder.
- Move .so file to SGCAM/LIB folder.
- Install and open SGCAM app.
- Double click the empty spot between camera rotation and shutter buttons.
- Select CMR config and click import.
Keep in mind that name of .xml and .so file in this thread is subject to change but installation will be the same. If you suspect your quality is not as good please make sure to check if library file is loaded or not. 3rd video down below shows you how to do that in LMC.
Spoiler: Upscaling Guide (up to 164mp)
Actual photo taken by any gcam is always going to be 12mp like all other 3rd party camera apps. However with the power of upscaling you can get photos up to 164mp. Some of the configs in this thread has it set to 20mp while newer ones have it disabled. You can still enable and set it to whatever value you desire. However beware, this adds extra processing time so if you are in a hurry and require a few fast clean shots it might not be worth it. Here is a step by step guide for LMC:
-open settings
-navigate to processing functions > upscale / downscale
-flip the first switch on
-click main camera and set it's value, you can use this cheat sheet:
x1.0 for 12mp (3000x4000 (4:3))​x1.4 for 24mp (4200x5600 (4:3))​x1.6 for 31mp (4800x6400 (4:3))​x2.0 for 48mp (6000x8000 (4:3))​x2.3 for 63mp (6900x9200 (4:3))​x2.4 for 69mp (7200x9600 (4:3))​x2.5 for 75mp (7500x10000 (4:3))​x3.0 for 108mp (9000x12000 (4:3))​x10.0 for 164mp (11100x14800 (4:3))​-click front camera and set it's value, heres cheat sheet for front cam:
x1.0 for 8mp (2448x3264 (4:3))​x1.4 for 16mp (3426x4568 (4:3))​x2.0 for 32mp (4896x6528 (4:3))​x2.5 for 50mp (6120x8160 (4:3))​x3.0 for 72mp (7344x9792 (4:3))​x10.0 for 109mp (9056x12076 (4:3))​
In some configs we have upscaling shortcut assigned to long pressing camera change button so try if it's there. If it's not you can set it by choosing Upscale from Processing functions > Viewfinder settings > Long tap on Change front camera.

Samsung with 108mp and detail enhancer turned on :
LMC 8.4 R16 with this config + lib :
All the credit goes to @PatrickALVS in A73Gcam telegram group.
This is huge! It's been a long time since I used a good Gcam on my non-pixel phones. Back in the days of the first Gen Nokia 6, I was shooting like a Pro with a well-optimized version of Gcam. Later on, I wasn't getting proper versions on other devices. Now, the thing I hate about Samsung phones is, image processing got FIXED with this! I'm so much happy about that!
Waiting for more
Thank you so much for the development!!
is this for rooted phone only?
tested on non root device , it work, thank you very much

It depends on the mode you're using tbh. But here are some stuff you could do.
-HDRnet usually comes off darker than usual. To fix it you can go to settings > processing functions > exposure compenstation and hdr > main camera. Default value in reworked config is -0,4, you can change it to 0 or 0,5 to get brighter results with this mode. This doesnt affect the quality at all.
-You can also use the iso slider but iso slider only works when you enable hdr enhanced mode from top down menu. To get that option make sure HDR+net is disabled from left side then you can pick HDR mode from top menu. Only downside of this is that shutter time increases when you select hdr enhanced mode. This is great for low light situations usually.
-You can focus once by touching an object then use the exposure slider that shows up from right side. You can just max the slider out and picture comes out just as good. This is how I use it. From my experience in a well lit room samsung cam uses 500-800-1000 iso values, lmc with most of the configs in this thread uses around 200-400 iso. When you max out the exposure slider from right it increases to around 1000. Only downside of this is that light sources ruins the shot but also you usually don't point the cam at light bulb or sun so...

Night sight and HDR+ Enhanced increases shutter time to capture more details, if you want faster shots you shouldn't use these 2 modes. You can follow these 2 screenshots to shorten your post processing time however there's nothing you can do about 108mp (upscaling). It'll always increase your post processing time but you could reduce photo sizes by going into settings > LMC Tweaks > JPG Quality. Setting it anything below 90 will cut it's size couple of mbs but going anything below 80 also introduces artifacts to your pictures so it's a double edged sword.
After 1 day of use, I have some comparisons between gcam (LMC R17 REWORK) and the original camera of the device:
- Stock camera faster: if remove hdr + rnet gcam fast too but capture and zoom in photo, it is too noisy so I think with gcam we need keep hdr + rnet to make better quality when compare with stock camera. gcam slow to safe photo but we can capture many photos during save, not big problem with me.
- Stock camera's photo is brighter: we can reduce it by go to settings > processing functions > exposure compenstation and hdr > main camera , I change all to 3.2 and it nearly same stock camera.
- Color and detail of gcam's photo is better with landscape photography with hdr + rnet mode: Landscape photography is good, but when it comes to people, the stock camera is better, if it can identify the context, the system camera pushes the color up very flattering (to me, it's beautiful, suitable for sharing the network, although the details are very flat).
- Backlit photography is better with Gcam: lighter, more detail, photo from the stock camera with a black face.
I think we can use both and match for the best result
