Hello crew!
I started this thread, to track on one place best working Gcam for HTCU12+.
UPDATE #1
Just found version from developer @potter of gcam for Moto G5+ that works nice on U12+
it's MGC_6.1.021 version with NIGHT SHIFT!
UPDATE#2
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2.apk
aux switch setting (if enabled it works like switching front/rear camera) - THIS ENABLES TELEPHOTO CAM ON U12+
Turn on BUFFER FIX for Viewfinder fix.
try gcam versions from this link https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-san1ty/
Working versions:
Best in my oppinion:
BSG: MGC_5.1.018_MI8_V1b.apk
Arnova's v7.9.9: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.9.apk ( Portrait mode front camera is slow)
BSG: MGC_6.1.009_MI8_V1a.apk ( Portrait mode front camera is slow and blurry )
In my testing latest versions are slow (low frame rate in camera viewer) and i' think the reason is ZSL turned on by default (when HDR+ is turned off - frame rate is normal).
My question for @Arnova8G2 or @cstark27 @Tolyan009 can you devs check this for us U12+ users... because we have great camera and full working GCam will bring us even better one.
Also when we get update to 9.0 things will be more compatible ( i hope somewhere around new year )
Put your expiriences,findings,test here, and let's all try to get better Gcam for our beloved U12+.
Regards!
I confirm, on U12 + the MGC_6.1.009_MI8_V1b.apk version works properly, selfi pictures are very green and fuzzy.
The MGC_6.1.013 version does not work with HDR +, it is very stablina, sometimes you can not take pictures.

The original HTC
Hey guys, what's the latest stable version with all the features?
Especially @5m4r7ph0n36uru I saw you posted informations about our smartphone on arnova thread, have you got a good app iteration?
I have tried one which gave me great Night Sight capture but the viewfinder is green so it's pretty unuseful when you don't have the time to switch between options to get the shot you want.

Are you using it on stock rom or Venom?
Because on stock rom on my U12+ Nightshift has lagy viewfinder,
and portrait mode with front camera is blury and green (green fix, fixes green but picture is blurry) =/

HTC will probably upgrade it's own camera app with P: they said they will focus on the HTC U12 + in 2019.

And now? Doesn't mean HTC is worse than OnePlus. Actually if you look at their software, it's quite bad. Like one of the worst RAM management (exists since nougat or Oreo on their devices and few others things. So who cares if OP5/t has Pie already. We better wait for a properly working and bugfree system, then having bugs on pie which many other OEM have too and which google doesn't fix and let it do others ?

SO I tried Gcam on the U12+, but it doesn't work with the telephoto camera and it is very laggy, unusably so.
Is there a stable build yet?

The viewfinder I got, but it is buggy. The aux doesn't work at all. The zoom is just based off the wide angle.
You were fast to snap for me to read, but not so fast to answer that the mod actually doesn't use the telephoto camera at all, simply relying on digital zoom with the wideangle.

Hopefully, and I hope for more control over the telephoto mode. I say "mode" because it appears to have been omitted in all reviews and discussions here:
-when in 2x/telephoto mode, even in sometimes moderate light, like on a shadowy street during a bright day, the camera will automatically revert to using digital zoom on the wideangle lens to sort of approximate the telephoto. I think it's BS. I was shooting in Malta last week where it's super bright, went into a shadowy street that was still bright and the telephoto went to wideangle crop. So I lose pixels and the noise looks worse.

You know this isn't a MUST HAVE, but it's nice that there's development, but not necessary at all. It's not like I can't shoot with the stock software, or use my u11 with zero issues, or buy an S9+ or a Pixel 2.
I tried different versions and so night sight laggy. does anyone know the solution? i have buffer fix enabled etc. Pocco f1 have fix for this, i not install this because not have twrp(warranty)..
Ps. Sorry for my bad english
If you're in Europe, you don't loose warranty by unlocking Bootloader, TWRP, root etc...

Using Camera Zoom Fx...... seems good.
Stock seems fine to me, used ProCapture before.
Stock just keeps getting better for me.

Really the only thing I'd like is a burst mode. I like that when taking pics of the kids playing. Otherwise I used very few features of my old sammy cameras so the stock app is fine for me. I don't suppose there's any way to add a burst mode to it - any mods or anything?

Same here. I've purchased quite a few and none beat this combo for IQ. We really are at the mercy of the hardware.
Just got Lollipop, retried FV5, and definitely love its manual iso and exposure time control, as well as raw dng support. Processing the dng files with PS express, I get great results in low light, noticeably better than stock hdr+. You can browse thru the dngs with slingshot and share/ send them to PS express
Camera FV-5 only support PNG (for now), not DNG.
I hace FV5 v2.23, not sure whether it is beta still, but it does support everything I said in full resolution on lollipop nexus5.
Check their website or Facebook:

I turned on manual focus via google camera and all has been good for me. Stock 5.0.
Anyone else having trouble with their camera. I can't take anything with the front camera anymore. It doesn't work in any app, including stock camera app. I've tried third party camera apps. No luck. I even tried some Google camera ports. All that works is selfie camera.
Am I the only one? Any suggestions?
Hello, I have no problem with the camera. I'm on android one 1.10.401.4

Have you tried any of those?
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I am using the Arnova8G2 from 2018-02-13 and it works.
Had issues with another version.
One thing though, as it is a pixel App, you can't save pictures on the SD-Card.
Making better pictures than the built in Cam.
Supposedly it says that the max MP Setting for the front (Selfie) Cam is only 5MP instead the U11 Life is capable of 16MP.
Still the Arnova seems the make better pictures, but might be subjective. Didn't make an exact test yet.
Try one of them, hopefully it works.
Good luck!

So you returned/sold the U11 Life, because of Cam Issues and such?
Moto5gs should do a good job.
How's the cam? Will probably work better.

Installed but FC'ed for me as well. Guess we need to wait for ports.
Works fine on my Pixel 2.
Fc'd here.
Arnova just dropped his first port for it.
Works perfect for me so far.
Check it out on the GCam Port Hub website!
Edit - Still lots of bugs, especially with tap to focus and the integrated Google Lens implementation. Camera randomly stops working and while there is Lens Blur, there is no dedicated Portrait mode yet.
Yeah tested Arnova's port this morning. He did mention that it's just to test the new UI. Very promising though!

I tried his "test2" version. Seems to work pretty well. Slow Motion video doesn't seem to work at the moment.
Any news on an updated port? I've been looking since the last release and now with the Night Sight I'm definitely interested in a port for the PH-1

Just installed. Wow. G-cam was always good in the daylight. Now the low light performance is some of the best I've seen. Just need to be patient with exposure and processing time. Small price to pay. Very impressed.
Been using the camera posted to the front page and wow! Night sight is amazing. Some of the pictures you capture with it is unbelievable.
So far it is fantastic! Only thing I can't go work he slow motion video.

I'll post pics later for comparison, but the pics on the Gcam are much better. Colors and dynamic range are way better - low light is no competition.

Check out this post in the Q&A section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/gcam-mod-7-pro-t3930459 That seems to be where most of the activity is for gcam.
Did some comparisons here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/camera-comparison-gcam-vs-stock-t3931423
All seem working well exept the front facing camera where resolution is 4mp and 12 in portrait, also in portrait mode some underexposure and lack of focus.
I pm Arnova with same info, hope will have a new version soon.
I was thinking about open a telegram grp like s9 to be more convenient.

I found actually the Google Camera that was released for the OnePlus 6 works.
What I like about the Google Camera is the Augmented Reality, I would assume they work for the new OnePlus 7 Pro specific Google
Tried a newer APK, still does not run all the Playground content but otherwise is ok
Thanks guys. The mi9 gcam mod works flawlessly. I tried the R7pro mod, but it has a habit of freezing and capture delay at around 0.0017s

Then lower the frame capture rate... It's gcam.... And it will only be slower like that in low light... With the way I have it set you will get good quick captures outdoor and slower but better quality indoor or low light situations without needing to use night sight.
how do you get playground working..i don't see that option?
Got everything to work with your setup but is there a reason the back cam is set to 8.3 megapixels?
Pics come out too Cool
So, I've tried these different mods, and while sharpness is better with them, I feel like the colors come out way too cool and not true to real life at all. Complete opposite of what I get with my Pixel 3XL. Anyone experiencing the same, or perhaps has gotten a GCAM mod they are really happy with?

Here are some example I took on my OP7P. I used gcam and stock camera. I have to say that the stock camera is pretty sad.
I love the phone, but I am very disappointed in the camera.
The night photos were taken with Nightsight on GCam and Nightscene on stock.
GCam seems to come out much cool indoors, not staying as true to the colors sometimes. Stock is definitely not capturing the details.
