S7 portrait mode app

Hi Guys,
Which is the best and stable camera app to be used for portrait mode in the S7? And can it be used with the front camera? I tried many but they all crash every now and then.
Thanks

You can use selective focus mode on stock camera app. It produces portrait-like photos (back camera only) but the downside to me is the size. The image will be about 20MB in size but if you edit it again using any photo editor app it will decrease. IMO the stock selective focus mode is better and faster than lens blur on Google Camera.

Yes it is good but like 90% of the times it will say that subject not detected. And the size for me is normal like 4-5mb per photo. Any other modded/ported camera app for the S7 for this purpose? And can it be used with the front camera?

You can check the @miniuser123 version of the Gcam app. I think it's the best (far away) portrait mode for us.
Better than our cam but still don't work the face cam.

Thanks. This is what I have selected-
Model: Nexus 6 Shamu Moto
Portrait mode on all models: on
camera.af.debug.show: where is this setting?
camera.faceboxes: where is this setting?
The app crashes if I select the first icon in the app.

Set somethings:
- Don't change the HDR parameters. Set it to default.
- Unmark the "Use Nexus6 HDRPlus Auto"
- Mark "Compress RAW (*.DNG)
- Mark "Portrait Mode in all models"
- Unmark "Smartburst Enable"
The "camera.af.debug.show" and the "camera.faceboxes" are in Settings>Developer Settings. But these are optional.
Hope I helped
*EDIT - check and follow the thread (here in XDA) about HDR+ for S7. The better place for try new cam apps and discuss about that

Using the app that I told you, the quality of portrait pics is amazing!
Unfortunately the HDR+ is not good at all, but some versions you can get more of this feature.

This is a problem with the image processing (the heating and the battery drain). Some people says the cause is the app use all cores for processing the image (HDR+ and portrait)
Anyway, there's a new version with front camera working with portrait.

Thanks!! The settings is a bit different but I only changed the model to Nexus 6 and everything is ok. It's still crashed when I switch back to rear camera from front cam while in portrait mode. But portrait mode is still only available on the rear camera, right? Because it's not working on front cam.
Oh right, actually the heating was only a couple times after installing. Now it doesn't heat anymore.

Oh, no. This version that I sent works the rear and front camera in portrait mode. Using without the portrait the front camera is terrible.
And even at portrait, the front camera has a bug with high exposure changing the color to something like pink exposure.
I attached my settings. Remember to close and reopen the app totally for apply.

Changing the model to pixel 2 xl did enable portrait on the selfie but yeah it got some pink on high exposure. But the result was still great. Without portrait the front cam is blurry and the edge was too much sharpened. It's terrible.
Also, is HDR+ enabled by default? There's no HDR+ setting on the top row but there's some sort of delay (like when applying HDR) when I take pictures so I thought it's still there. The photos taken with rear camera is also better now I guess.

Yeah, this version is near to perfect.
I never, anymore, take pics o' people without rear portrait camera -hahaha
The delay is borring but minimal. You can take a lot of pics and check them later. You don't need to wait between the shots.
If you wanna HDR+ setting, go to: settings>advance>check the option: manual HDR+ control (my app isn't in english, but is something like that)
*You can't increase the HDR+ parameters
**Just a obs- my app crashed sometimes at older version (I didn't try the newer properly) and my app didn't take pics. If it happen, just "force stop" and it back.

Btw i was checking on the source thread and found that there's a newer version uploaded early today. This version fixed the pink stain and the HDR menu is back on the top row. I think this is much stable since there's no heating or crashing at all.

Daily driver Gcam for whyred!!!

I had installed pixel experience rom on my whyred and was wondering to get fully stable Gcam on it to get complete pixel rom on my whyred,then tried with BSG's gcam but it offers limited features so I turned to find a stable Gcam with almost all features and came across this Gcam mod : MGC_5.3.015_v.1.0.5_Tolyan009.
It can be used as daily driver as it almost fully stable.
What's Working in it.
1.Slow mo.
2.Portrait.
3.Google lens.
4.Video at 1080p 60 fps
<auto focus working with video stabilization>
5.photo sphere.
6.panorama.
Problems with this:
1.lens blur is bit choppy and is advised not to use it.
2.Run and use this as it is with default settings change in settings may results in app blunders.
3.there is 4k uhd option but it's not working.
THIS MOD IS TESTED ONLY ON PIXEL EXPERIENCE ROM.
YOU CAN USE ON MIUI BUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT WORKS.
Download link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MyJk3LM9oa18UvhB56U_pwV_UVmjdZoE/view?usp=drivesdk

For this to work make Gcam as default camera app.
Everything is working fine in my phone after making it default app and disabling snapdragon camera app.
If it still not works try clearing data and rebooting phone.

Like in stock camera, selfies look like when you are about to click the picture.
But one problem I found in all gcam apps is after clicking the picture, selfies don't look like just before clicking. They are flipped sideways.

On lineage front camera works

I just tried this with the new RR 7 (RR-P-v7.0.0-20190203-whyred-Official) and it works fine.
⌐At first the images were monochrome for some reason, switched config HDR+ to pixel 1 and the images came out normal and with HDR+. Turning it back to pixel 2 after a while
and magically nothing changed. Images were still in color.
⌐There are a few random bugs like the ones in OP and some others like there being 2 lens blur mode options.

New HDR function in Photo mode

HI, I've a CLT-L29C432 with FW 8.1.0.156(patch3)
I've noticed that now, but in the photo mode only, there is a powerful HDR on by default, and cannot be selected if on or off, the only way to have a "clean" shot, without HDR, is to use the PRO mode.
It works only with main sensor and not with Front camera nor with the tele-zoom camera.
This photo+HDR mode maybe is available by the last firmware update (156-p3) because I never noticed it before.
I don't know if this feature is known or not, so I decided to open a specific thread about this.
I've done some shots to demonstrate the differences
the darker shot is in pro mode ( the nearer light condition to real vision )
the lighter shot is in photo mode (+HDR hidden future) and you can see is a little more blurry than others
the in between shot is in Night mode , less blurry but also with less light and a better color handling.
there is also a shot in HDR mode from other presets page that has less light but it's sharper than photo mode + HDR
I think that this powerful feature is a little ruined in night shots during the camera status " don't move - sharpening your photo" message ( that also usually causes blurry photos also without HDR)

Other shots indoor scene

Are you sure it's not the AI that kicks in and the second picture is not using the night mode as it was triggered as I said by the AI?

Its not some hidden hdr feature. The iso now jumps all the way to 1lakh in low light hence producing very bright pics.

This happens only with 10mp camera (never with 40mp camera).
This is because the 10mp camera also use the black and white sensor to retrieve more informations and give you a boosted photo.
I don't like most of the time these photos.
You can't disable this!

Yes : I forgot to say that it works only in 10mp (like almost everything)
Photo mode is intended for a sort of point and shot if you don't want this you can use pro mode that has no AI or HDR and you can take very nice auto pictures or twick them manually.... And 40mp as well
PRO mode should be the default mode for an advanced phographer.
What I think that huawei should only let the user be able to set by default the preferred mode ... But not eliminate this hdr future or AI at all

In .156 patch 3 firmware, you loose the 4d predictive focus. The .157 firmware coming soon but don't fix the 4d predictive focus according to Huawei customer service.

Hehe, guys, it's there since .131.... Huawei is constantly working on it, the camera got lots of improvements since the release. Yes, they mess up the 4D focus from time to time but it's working great in the Android 9 Beta. So stay tuned!

Wow, I have speak with other guy in this forum and for him also not working. It is very interesting because few people complaining regarding this issue on. 156 firmware. You are very lucky then. ?

This is actually not HDR although the results look similar. What you are looking at here is the full effect of pixel binning in action, where four pixels are stacked together into one which in effect is boosting the dynamic range of the sensor by some clever algorithms. The end result is that highlights are rescued from being overblown and shadows are also rescued from being too dark. You end up with a evenly balanced exposure which has the same look and feel of a HDR. But this is pixel binning as it should work.

we don't have this update on the stable pie

Thanks been waiting for this, didnt want to update to beta 6 just for the camera..

Does this run fine on Oreo or does it require Pie?

Try it. Not sure if it checks the SDK number or not. Worst that happen is you remove it and restore the camera backup you should make before removing old and installing new camera apk

Be aware that while it does install in stable 9.0 OOS, the nightscape thing doesn't do anything to the final photo (already did comparisons). I've read reports of it working on OB6 so stable users have to wait for an update.

It freezes the camera app for me. Uninstalled.

New stable OOS is out. Thats inside now.

Do we have to use with flash?

I'm having some issues with the new camera on 9.0.2. The night mode actually looks worse because it seems to apply a weird oil painting effect and it blurs out details. Aside from that the portrait mode edge detection and blur quality is absolutely garbage. There is no way to change the "beauty" filter now apparently (the slider for it was removed?). And I can't get the studio lighting feature to work.
Can anyone help?

Night mode is what it is and can be further improved, it's just software. About beauty mode, yes the slider is still there. If it isn't for you try to clean flash. Studio Lightning is, from what I've read, something that happens automatically for portrait pictures, meaning it isn't a mode/slider/option.

Are you sure the beauty mode slider is still there for rear camera? I have it for front facing camera, but for rear camera it's just "on-off". I tried wiping cache and data of the camera app but that did nothing to help.

You never specified which camera you were talking about so how would I be sure? The answer is no in that case. Slider isn't there but then again, if this is a feature request or a missing feature report, you should post that information in the official stable thread for OOS.

Lowlight vs preset. (Updated)
*•*photo 1. standard auto hdr.
*•*photo 2. iso :2000 shutter at 0.4 with manual wb at 4200+/-
*•*photo 3. iso : 400 shutter at 5 and wb at 4060k.
*•*photo 4. iso : 1600 shutter at 8 and wb at 4060k (extreme low light conditions)
Tripod used : Tripod was used for shot 3 and 4, I used a $5 one with a $1 phone mount. Something an everyday consumer would be able to get.
*Update*
(salt attack prevention)
added shot for gcam too.
Gcambuild: GoogleCamera_6.1.013.216795316-debug2.apk
Onepluscam: 2.10.5
OOS : 9.0.1
Rooted.
*Update 2*
Added* Extreme low light conditions test shots.
Comments:
obviously leaving the shutter open draws in more light but it also captures more yellow. so i just manually tune that and save it as a preset. because night photos usually need to be cooled. I tried to use as low iso as possible in the settings to try reduce any unnecessary noise caused by high iso.
photo 2's settings are nice if you dont have tripod. as you can see the noise is significantly decreased and has way better sharpness. but still kept relatively the same exposure.
then for settings of the 3rd photo are my favorite. you need a tripod. but i mean it cames out amazing. even beats low light mode.
The 4th photo and settings are for extreme low light conditions and you'll need a tripod too.

You are saying this. I am thankfull that it is working properly. All the mods which i tried previously were all crashing they were messing with my settings. Every time when i was installing those mods i had to uninstall them because there were some features which were not working then and then restart my device every time. Now i can say hdr is working that was the biggest problem in kirin devices that hdr was not processing. Now only this little blue tint is the issue....
Some one has to work for it now @Urnyx05 my friend this gcam is working now on my honor play without crashing. Every hdr is now processing. i will mention the link below so that u can try it on honor 8 pro and do the settings mentioned above this post...
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+.apk

I m using honor play COR-L29 8.2.0.132(C432GT).
I have followed all the instructions.
I get a blue tint all over the photo when HDR+ is enabled on back camera

I am using honorplay I tried this after installing 3.9gb system update
Downloaded->clicked on install -> but it says app unable to install , and in all apps I saw that the app is installed but when trying to open the app it doesnt perform any action and comesout directly.

I appreciate the work but i think it only works on emui 8.2 and as i m running emui 9 so it's not working for me .The moment i press the shutter button it crashes.?

Not working
Portrait mode not working.

Im no honor stock camera fan but
Stock HDR is miles ahead of (this) gcam hdr mod...
I really wish we could get something for front camera... Its absolutely ****ty... (its emui 8.2 issue) front camera is **** because we can touch the screen and make the viewfinder adjust exposure and this makes everything crap... At the same time honor 10 running on emui 8.1 CANNOT do this... The exposure is automatic (you cannot touch a light source and adjust the camera exposure)

Honor play
Potrait mode not work proper in honor play

U should be thankful that this much is working otherwise not a single developer is working on kirin devices...??

Doesn't Work on EMUI 9 BETA

boys i have good news for you. I have found a gcam where hdr is now processing smoothly without any blue or pink Tint even now portrait is working. I will suggest you the settings
Instructions:
1. Download link
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash.apk
2. Install the app;
3. Give all permissions,
4. go to settings --> Saturation Adjustment --> Highlight Sat to 2.5 and Shadow Sat to 3.5
5. Go to hdr white balance -> turn on Apply custom white balance multipliers -> set the blue option to 70%
6. Go to Advance Settings -> main camera -> manual fixed black level offset -> turn it on
7. Close your app and reopen app [needed]
Enjoy Google Camera on your Honor Play you can check it on other devics. i have tried on Honor play

Features working:
- Camera (HDR+, ZSL, flash, zoom, raw, etc on back camera )
- Video (at 1080p)
-Panorama, Photo Sphere
-portrait
Features NOT working:
- Slow motion
- Due to hdr, front camera is not working properly and there is no option to disable it. This is due to limited hardware access
There is a toggle for manual hdr switch on and of that works sometimes but sometimes not...
! Tip to use front camera use lens blur.

Guys tryout the new ? mentioned above. Its working

Blue tint in main camera.
Fix blue tint plzzz

Someone has to work for it now it is the perfect gcam for kirin devices but only one option we want now is to disable the hdr on front camera. This camera takes better images than the stock camera without hdr. @saneklic can you give us the option to disable hdr on front camera. So that we can take the Normal pictures with portrait and face retouching.
It is impossible to work hdr on front camera because of limited access of hardware. So what we want now is to disable hdr on front camera.
Guys this is the best gcam
