[Updated v3.6] Google Camera HDR+ Portrait (Selfie & Back) fully working

I have been following this website which upload all of Gcam versions. Recently a developer from the Russian forum 4pda (scrubber) uploaded APK which fixes all the problems of portrait mode and HDR+ for the selfie and back camera.
The Gcam doesn't require any configuration it's already set to the Nexus 6p model which gives the best details and the outcome of the pictures is amazing looks like it was taking with Pixel 2.

I've been following these ports for a long time too and I'm currently using "scrubber_GCAM_5.1.018_25". It has portrait mode on both the front and back cameras and works like a charm. Plus you don't have to configure anything since it's already done. So I suggest you try using that version.

I'm using the one you are suggesting and yes it has portrait mode but what about lens blur;

There can either be Portrait mode or Lens blur. If you really want Lens Blur, then the stable version that I used before, for Lens Blur was "GCam5.1.014-Arnova8G2-v9.1".
It produced some great results with Lens Blur and ofcourse with HDR+. Tho it depends on what config you use in the settings.

Why rear camera shows maximum resolution as 12 megapixel instead of 16 megapixels.
Please add the advance setting in ths app,so that we can swap between portrait n blur mode.

Its because google pixel 2 has 12 mega pixel in its rear camera resolution

Scrubber's versions were made to work on his Xiaomi Mi Max 2. It's a "install and forget" app, that's why you don't see an option to enable/disable Portrait Mode and probably the reason why you can't go past 12 MP on the back camera (that's the max resolution on his phone).
Try Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 instead. You will need to configure the app so HDR+ works without any issues. I have the OnePlus 3 and for that reason can't tell you which settings are the best for this phone, but try the ones compatible with the Nokia 8:
Model: Nexus 6P (or Pixel 2XL for less noisy, and less detailed, photos)
Config camera HDR+: Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr+ (ZSL available with Auto HDR, not with forced HDR/HDR enhanced)
HDR+ parameters: High
Or try some very stable, but limiting, settings:
Model: Nexus 6P (or Pixel 2XL)
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Auto
HDR+ parameters: Default
Some of the settings inside the "advanced" menu may not be compatible with this device. If the app starts crashing, you might be using incompatible settings or have enabled some incompatible feature.
This port is always evolving, so with time Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 will became "old". Keep trying his apks and the ones from B-S-G. Or just use these "install and forget" apks... they work too.
By the way, I have this telegram channel for update alerts. When I upload new apks to the page linked by @sayedam, I also post them on the telegram channel.

I have also been following the gcam development and almost test each update on daily basis on Nokia 6 (2017)
Till now(as of January 16,2018) the best camera for Front and back portrait working flawless is the
cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v1
Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...Cam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v1.apk
Development record Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Which is based on @scrubber 's work.
This camera is the best install and forget app yet for Nokia 6
Front and back cameras both have portrait mode working.
I will attach the camera results ASAP.

In this version GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta2 the problem does not exist?
By your answer I could correct on the next version

Sorry i was editing the post and you answered really quick... Brother its pixel mod v1 ...its previous version also had same issue.. I have tested all the previous versions gcmod5 as well.
For gc5mod the pictures from front camera contain no details i.e. look like 0.2 MP pics. But also they have no tint.... Right now i am again checking the mod u link to confirm it...
Give me just 120 seconds to confirm it

Dear @Arnova8G2 brother
The GCam you linked behaves like this here on Nokia 6
Back camera normal mode.... Black screen
Back camera portrait mode... Works perfect
Front camera normal mide... No tint.. but pic quality is like 0.2 MP camera
Front camera portrait mode... No timt... Same low pic quality
To be honest pixel mod is best only tint is the issue there. That's all

Works great, thanks. Btw, is there any chance to hide slow-motion from the menu, since it doesn't work?

@Arnova8G2 Is there a way to circumvent the 12MP limitation and get PDAF to work since the Nokia 6 has a 16MP PDAF sensor with a nicely working Camera2 API?

Dear @cstark27 brother, can u make a version of rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen with more camera resolution of back camera i.e. 16mp
Nokia 6 has 16 mp back camera and 8mp front with camera 2 APi enabled by default
Your camera is already awesome but if more resultion can be supported, we will be very very thankful to you brother

For photos? I am not sure. My LG V30 supports 16mp with the mod I made so that's weird.

[MAGISK] Fix for slow motion in Google Camera (let me know if it works for you too)

Install these Magisk modules:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-hevc-60fps-slomo-gcam-op3t-5-t3666287
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75642355&postcount=2
Slow motion in Google Camera won't chrash anymore but you might have BIG lags while recording at 120fps.
To fix it do the following:
start Google Camera (any working version)
tap slow motion
press home button and minimize app
start stock camera
tap on video icon
press home button and minimize app
resume Google Camera
Now recording in slow motion should be smooth. You should be able to use flashlight while recording slow motion videos with no issues.
HEVC is also working if enabled in developers settings.
This is 100% working with my phone.

You really shouldn't use OP3 fix because it will replace media_profiles which is a device-specific file.

I know but i don't have necessary skills to make a module for magisk to add profiles for slow motion videos. Maybe you can do it?
By the way thanks for your hard work made for our phones. :good:

It works, but in the slowmotion you have a digital 2x zoom, any fix for that?

I think it's an hardware limitation. Slow motion is limited to hd (720p) resolution even with stock camera.

Couldn't get it to work with dotOS ROM.
It force close every time.
Anyone managed it to work on a custom ROM?

Steps to enable slowmotion on Pie:
-Install @SerJo87 Gcam (1.6 rc3)
-Install his Tele lens module
-Select Wide (not zoom lens)
-Go to video
-Select slowmotion from hamburger menu
-If lags open MiA1 cam ang go to video
-Return to Serjo's Gcam
It's a bit tricky but (for me) it works.

Working BSG Pixel 3 GCAM No Crash

BEST CAMERA I TESTED [15-01-2018]
If you want to shot using pixel 3 camera, you may need this mod
BSG Pixel 3 GCAM Mod : MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a
Download on celsoazevedo (all link at bottom post)
I tested it. Just enable Buffer fix and disable Google photos in setting, it can shot 10 photos HDR continuously (I don't test above it) but there will be a pause each shot (about half second). When I open gallery it showing 7 photos queued, 2 photos processing, and 1 photos processed. Whenever it crash, HDR still process, so you won't lose your photo. But until now I never rarely crash. Don't ask front camera, it won't work on pixel 3 camera, take pixel 2 camera for front camera.
This is my setting, and it's work perfect:
I install camera patch v2
Motion: for smooth off, for enable top shot auto/on
Video res: 4K (cannot record on low light)
Stabilization: on
Advanced: dirty lens off, HEVC on, HDR control off, RAW off
BSG MOD setting:
HDR+ Parameter: min 2 max 7 (change whatever you like, I use 2 for faster process)
Photos: disable
Libs: Savitar
FIX: Motion on, Buffer fix on, viewfinder motion and AE on
How to get top shot:
Install latest daydream and Google photos (daydream) from apkmirror. If you cannot update app, uninstall photos update first.
From here, your motion photos will get top shot selection by go to picture info

Front cam doesn't work mates,

Hello OP, I tried V2 patch. It is terrible. When I chose to capture video, i feel like I'm zooming in. I have to revert back to V1 patch. Even with V1, I can have front camera work in gcam 5.1 and night sight in G cam 6.1

Better camera quality on Oneplus 2 with Oneplus Camera M [PIE/OREO Custom ROMs only]

I found that Oneplus 6 Camera M Mod works (mostly) very good on Oneplus 2 and gives better image quality than most GCam versions and stock OOS Camera.
Here is the link to the thread by txx1219 : OnePlus Camera M For Oneplus
It won't work on stock Marshmallow or any Nougat ROMs since its minimum SDK version is 26 (Android 8.0), I have tested it on ArrowOS Pie and AOSPExtended Pie ROMs (haven't tried it on Oreo ROMs but it should work).
Pro Mode doesn't work if you flash OnePlus Camera M using TWRP/Magisk; to fix this, install the apk inside the zip file located at OnePlusCameraM OP6 2018-09-23.zip\system\priv-app\OnePlusCamera\OnePlusCamera.apk . This won't need root but if you have any other OOS Camera installed you must uninstall it.
Go to Camera settings and turn Edge Mode and Noise Reduction OFF , it'll give images with tons of color noise in low light but you can get rid of it with Lightroom
It has quite a few bugs on OnePlus 2:
1. Camera bugs out when stutter time is more than 1/3 in pro mode
2. RAW mode brings out images with a red tint
3. Images seem a bit too overexposed and bright
4. Portrait mode doesn't show up as an option
5. Slo-motion just takes regular videos
6. Normal video will record but can't be playedback
What seems to be working:
1. Auto photo mode
2. Panorama mode
3. For recording video, use 1080p in slow motion mode (4K Causes green lines)
Laser AF also seems to be working

Nope, portrait mode doesn't show up on the app.

I found out that you can also just install the apk inside the Oneplus camera M zip file , pro mode also seems to work with this method and you won't need root. The apk is located in OnePlusCameraM OP6 2018-09-23.zip\system\priv-app\OnePlusCamera\OnePlusCamera.apk

@Hashir295 Good to see that you recognised my reply here.
Just a suggestion if you add tags to your thread it can be found even more easily. To add (or to edit) them, just click on the small icon left of "None" in your thread's title.
Spoiler: Screenshots

Everything works good. But I have one question. Is there a way to make camera launch faster? Because sometimes it starts normally, but sometimes it takes half a minute to start.

I don't know why its a port version remember Google pixel use a separate chip for photoprocessing our cpu not enough powerful so ti takes sometimes

Green tint disappears when HDR+ model for primary and front is selected as Pixel XL.

Put the fps of the video to 60 so its not lagging
