Google camera mod with portrait mode and hdr+

Hello, we have so great phone, but i want to sell it! one reason is that - word is talking about Google camera, which have amazing Hdr+ and Best portrait mode... Developer @B.S.G ported this camera for Xiaomi and after other develepers made mod versions for other phones (this mods is working almost at all phones), and this two amazing Mode (portrait, Hdr+) is working great and bad cameras with Gcam mod are shooting great pictures! We have so good smartphone, but camera is not so good that it must to be! And we can't use Google camera mod, because our phone have not full support of Camera2api And no one can to Port this great Camera for XZ Premium users But maybe there is someone who can help us to enable camera2 api and make Gcam mod version for us, it will be great and I think it will be work at our device very good....
I'm sorry for my bad English and I hope sony will make better smartphones, with better camera and design!

Believe me, sell the Xperia. Buy a 150€ Xiaomi, and I am totally sure that with Google Camera you will have a super camera, better than any smartphone, near to a reflex... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Come on man!

Yo dude google camera is indeed improving the picture you took with your smartphone, in fact it's a lot. Take a look at this video comparing <€150 Xiaomi phones with stock camera, Ported google camera, and Google pixel 2, and you can see that the result is night and day compared to the stock camera app, and even matching the photos taken with the Google pixel 2! So don't underestimate this app, it's ported and wanted by many community for a reason, it's not just a ****ty apps in play store, this is the app that makes the google pixel known for its camera.

If this is so, what version are you using? And does HDR+ and Portrait work?
Is your bootloader unlocked or your phone modded?

The google cam version is 5.1.018.177470874.
HDR+ thing doesn't work, in fact the app is detecting my phone's rom as custom ( my phone is NOT unlocked or modded... Yet)
There's no "Portrait mode" but instead the "Lens blur" mode which is actually the same? Correct me if im wrong
The app itself runs smoothly, no crashes. Just like the stock camera app. Just tell me if you want the link though. And i'll try to make comparisons between the stock camera app and google cam app soon. (My connection is so bad rn i can't upload images)

Yeah i forgot about that. It is funny that the primary cameras max is only 8mp but the secondary cam is 13mp max

There is standard google camera, but hdr+ and portrait mode is not there just lens blur and it's take time to take portrait or something. I found thread about unlock camera2api, anyone tried unlock it?

Sadly you need root for that , which is not attainable right now without unlocking the bootloader.

Lack of RAW mode is a real turn off on this Phone, my old Lumia 950XL took amazing photos and had an insanely powerful flash. If I'm completely honest, the camera and flash are the weakest part of this device so I can easily see why folk want to try and mod it. Actually, in an ironic twist, the screen delivers a brighter flash then the actual flash, to bad its the wrong way around to help the camera.

It is very sad that such a good smartphone would turn into this huge disappointment. Most of the camera apps that I've used are Laggy and use only 8mp

Maybe there is someone, who can active full camera2api? And make gcam mod for sony?

TRIPLE BOUNTY THREAD :: S9 Exynos version only google camera development

Bounty Thread :: for google camera s9 (exynos version ) with pixel 2 xl as model and pixel 2017 as processing parameter with both front and back hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced working along with potrait mode.
With superb camera hardware of s9 we could make it a superb camera phone, surely better than all of its rival:fingers-crossed:

Bounty 2 and 3 is very very highly to zero chance of happening as you need samsung proprietary code to do so. Even charles chow cannot get his nexus 5x and 6p gcam port to work on non human faces.

Brother first thing is this nexus 6p and nexus 5x doesnot have dual pixel hardware needed to support for potrait mode like pixel 2. I hope you got your answer. Without hardware support you cannot make a software to execute

I understand that but there are many other devices out there that have dual pixel but cannot work already. Those devices are cheaper and easier to work on than our s9+ regardless if it's exynos or snapdragon, but no one has been able to reverse engineer google's codes.

That is true also. Fingers cross

I'll contribute $20 for the first one as long as zsl is working.
Edit: canceled as of 9/5/18, I'm selling my S9 to get the OP6T

may be looping in gcam developers will help here i guess..

please adress the flash issue, can't take a picture with flash, there's a lag between the shutter and the flash.
I'm in with 20 bucks.
I've instaled the GCam and followed the sugestion of the user drexxie1962:
"Settings:
Model: Pixel 2XL
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Hdr+Auto
HDR+ parameters: Super High
Final jpg quality HDR+: 100%
Developer settings, checked camera.faceboxes"

Huge mistake, had to factory reset the phone. So there's that, beware when using the GCam for exynos as its seats.
Count me in with mine 20$

Why it would be needed ?? All things works on s7 and s8 exynos , only s9 exynos version is not supporting pixel 2 zls and potrait mode on front camera otherwise potrait on rear works ( although laggy). Why do we need image segmentation like thing. Its pretty basic and has not been implemented yet so would be a very difficult and lengthy procedure for a dev.
If a thing is required is usage of dual pixel technology. As this will give power of potrait shootings on non- face subjects

not more people interested ?

Guys great news. I was able to run pixel 2 as model and pixel 2016 zls as processing settings. I dont know what triggered it. But results were awesome much better than nexus 6 as model. But now its not running and keeps force closing even after several tries. I ran it on v3.4a of cstark27. Lets hope somebody will figure it out how it got run. Also news for front camera hdr+

Has anyone got any good news??very said that it is taking so much long for our devices. If possible somebody please reach miiniuser123 as he can do miracles for us just like he did for other exynos based samsung devices:fingers-crossed:

Oneplus6t camera on oneplus6?(960fps)

Hi,i am new to xda and i am sorry if its wrong to post a thread like this but i am curious to know if its possible to port oneplus6t camera on oneplus6.

We've been told that the 6 will receive the same camera features. Hardware is the same for 6 and 6T.

OnePlus 6t also features 480fps at 720p for one minute same as the 6.
960 fps if introduced, will be limited to very short duration but it will still be a fun little addition for this device.

How to switch from China version to global?

I have China version of the Huawei mate 30 pro 5g. Can I switch version to the global one without unlocking boot loader? If it's possible, can anyone share the link?

Can't

Instead of shouting at us read properly, you are in the MATE 30 PRO section, go and vent your frustrations in the proper section.
And as for your complaint, I had - my wife has it now, a mate 20 Pro which came with android 9 and with each update that phone got better. Update to Android 10 whent flawless so it looks like you have a defective device.

even on p30 is the same android 10 is total crap .. 9 was gold

i had p30 pro and i sold it .. crap curved screen .. camera not that good as they all say

Its all relative...how high are your expectations and in how far do you believe all the you tube reviews on new phones?
Huawei does like Samsung and Apple a good marketing with the aim of you believing them and buying their devices and this every year.
I had a Mate 9, Mate 10, Mate 20pro and now the Mate 30pro and the only one which I was not happy with camera wise was the Mate 10. The pictures from that phone looked often like oil paintings. I disagree about the Mate 20pro, it improved after upgrading to android 10 and its camera was - is good. Cannot judge the P30pro.
I do agree that some people will never be satisfied and always find excuses to complain, I am sure that these people have nothing better to do than complaining. These people should understand that if you want to take good pictures you buy a proper camera and not a phone with a camera but then we talking again about expectations.

Gcam for Find X2 Pro

I have been using a few different versions of the Gcam on the Find X2 pro and all of the features seem to work.
I'm not sure if portrait mode works very well though. However, one think I can't seem to get to work is the Oppo Find X2 Pros optical 5x zoom.
Does anybody know if there are any working versions of Gcam with the optical zoom working?
Thanks.

Your ultra wide works?

Ultra wide also doesn't work. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

no doesn't work, it's locked for the moment, but you can follow the op7 or op8 groups on telegram to get more info. as the op8p and x2 pro use the same sensors. Or go on the dedicated threads here on XDA. Once i get mine on wednesday, i will dig deeper into it.

Would love to give gcam ago if we have a good port to use.
