How is the photosphere quality from Google camera

I want to buy the honor 8 but I am not sure if the photosphere images from Google camera are good. This is the most important thing in a phone camera for me.
Has anyone tried it yet? The photospheres on my current Redmi note 3 are a blurry mess
Also can anyone please share a photosphere picture here from the phone so anyone who is on the fence like me will find it useful

looks good imo

I must be dumb, how do you find the photo sphere feature ?
I'm running EMUI 5 on my Honor 8, can't find it. Also tried the google camera app, but it crashes when I launch it...

Oh thank you ! I was really dumb, last time I used that feature was so long ago (on my marshmallow nexus 5), at the time photo sphere was directly integrated into the camera app.
Anyway, thanks

Hi, this picture was taken by my honor 8!

I will say good, it didn't give a result that I expected but, it's acceptable

Is there any GCMod with motion photo for OnePlus6 now?

I have tried many APKs at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk195 and some others for OnePlus5/5T.
They are not working.
Anyone have a solution for this problem?
THX.

Also didn't manage to find a working app that gives the same quality like I had with gcmod5 on OP3 before yet

MGC_5.2.022 yields pretty good results for me.

Gcam doesn't work properly with SD845 yet.

WOW, I also installed this one. But I didn't get motion photo and portrait mode. Is there any setting for this version to open them?
I though it is suggested setting when u install it.

I think SD845 has been released for a while==
When will we get this feature.

Does MGC_5.2.022 have dots on photos?

m really confused, wheather should i go ahead and buy op6 or should i wait for improved op6t !!
at oneplus experience store, i clicked a lot of pics, but certainly i am not satisfied with the quality which we used to get in op3t !! with a gcam mod. It just blows away. M using IP7 as a spare phone and camera is pretty good, m not a iphone guy. hopefully someone find out to make camera better. specifically, portrait mode ported from google pixel 2 ! fingers crossed.

Any version of Gcam I tried doesn't work on the 6. HDR+ seems to be nonfunctional. Maybe it really just isn't compatible with the SD845

It is not working.
After selecting model. either Pixel or Nexus and restart the app, it pops up with error.
If you do not select any model, HDR just don't running.

Maybe after the Pixel 3 release.

With SD 845 doesn't work HDR+; so it's usefuy, for now.

I got Urikills version of gcam to process the HDR+-shot twice. After that, no go. Tried to reproduce but cant make it happen. Settings were Pixel / Nexus 6 auto hdr+ / super fine.
Just saying that there is hope.

That is reasonable

Maybe someone will find a workaround...

Tried the new GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-V3.apk today. Instant crash

Arnova8G2's Google camera 6.1 working night Sight (Front camera HDR+issues)

The ports by Arnova8G2 for one plus 6 and 6t (use the 6t)
Works on our device. Normal photo, video, panorama,etc working. Video with HVEC ALSO WORKING!.
Tested on October security patch.
Hope someone can get the night sight, photo booth etc.
All thanks to you @Arnova8G2
Here is the link to the original thread

Update
It is seen that bsg version works great on our device too please see posts below for links

Can anyone test it and compare it to the previous version, please?

The latest BSG mod works with video and night sight. Stock Oreo 8.1 https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+.apk

Oh wow !

Will try out and post results....! Thanks!
Also the one I mentioned in the thread has a problem with the front camera processing! All the images turned out green!
Hopefully the one you mentioned should work well!
And tanks a lot for pointing it out.

Yeah, they're green and app crash when you want to see picture.
But if you disable HDR everything is fine, normal picture and no crash when viewing it.

Oh cool! The bsg version got night to work flawlessly!
But still I noticed a green hue applied to the front facing camera images when hdr+ is turned on

Hm, I'm having "hexagon failed" error with Night mode (stock 8.1) and BSG V1b - it takes a picture, but after a couple of seconds shows the error and doesn't save anything. Anyone else experiencing the same?

SerJo's version has working night sight too! Front facing camera takes green shots on all versions I guess

Everything is working fine in Arnova8G2 GCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013 except front camera. All the pictures taken with front cam are greenish and blurry. Night sight working like a charm. I'm on LiquidRemix 10.0.1 pie ROM. Here are some samples.

Here I'm on Liquid Remix ROM and this one is the only version that is working great (except slow motion and front facing camera issues)

Bsg 's version works great... Some early samples attached

Can someone try to fix the front camera her+issue? I've tried changing the device model to nexus6p, pixel2, 5x and no change.

The front camera will be fixed in the next version, i talked to aranova and he will fix it.

Not sure what exactly helped, but it saves photos now, despite the hexagon error. And I can definitely see the difference between HDR and Night sight mode, it's like magic. Amazing technology.

How is the Gcam App?

Let's be honest the 7 Pro is not a very good camera right now. We all know with OnePlus it will take a few updates to get the camera where we want it. I was wondering if the Gcam apk is a better alternative right now or is it still in development for the 7Pro??

Don't know about you guys, but I been taking really good photos with it. Stock app and not even Nightscape.

There is a gcam thread further down the page.

The camera is brilliant, came from Huawei P20 Pro and did a blind test between them for some friends. The Huawei scored 0.

Pixel 4 Camera

Hey guys.
I tried nearly every Gcam 7/7.1 port on my RN6PRO.
but none of them worked, it installs normally, but as soon as I open the app and give all permissions, it gets force closed.
It doesn't even reach the viewfinder.
Running pre-latest HavocOS /Pie.
Tried some magisk modules/ some zips that claim to enable pixel4 camera on any device but with no luck.
If any one could run latest gcam on his RN6PRO/Pie, please share how could you run it kindly.
By the way I want to share my experience with TrGcam port.
Its the most stable and takes noticeable better photos than other ports(for me at least) try it and thank me later

Can you give a link to TrGcam port mentioned?

Working perfectly fine on mine RN6 with Cam2API enabled.
I didn't root it.

its not work properly because,Redmi note 6 pro doesnt have 32s shutter time or 16.Gcam only use high iso rates on this phone.i dont understand.Why xiaomi not allows that option? That will be works verry verry verry good if xiaomi allow this function.

At least this version can take normal and night sight photos.
But sadly when it detects tripod and starts astrophotography scence, it force closes immmediately.
Btw, looking at package name shows that this version is based on TrGcam.
Thank you thats a good headstart.
Edit 1:
Can you please post some astrophotography samples taken with your rn6pro?
Edit 2:
No, this port has nothing to do with trgcam, sorry dont blame me, blame ES File explorer

Actually, normal night sight takes photos at 0.5s exposure time, which is not possible on stock cam.
I know that night sight will not be very promising with this locked-exposure sensor, but I have some free time to do some of those out of risk experiments with gcam.
Btw, thanks for your information, 10s night sight are much better than nothing.
For now, I couldnt achieve more than 4 seconds of night sight (I mean total night sight photo takes around 4 seconds to capture, not 4s per frame)
Edit:
And for Xiaomi not enabling this feature, how would they convince you to buy their next redmi device?
Actually, if I bought an RN7, camera will be the reason.
