Just the Verizon 2.4.025 os working
any news?
Good morning, very very long time xda luker here, years in fact, so thought I would jump in and join this topic.
Obviously like most of us I've loved using the gcam port on my SM-A530F and now after the 9.0 update I had to go back to the stock samsung camera. So did a bit a of looking around and found this.
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk
It works. Well I say works, it's extremely buggy, so maybe someone here with a little more knowledge than me can have a play around with it and hopefully (fingers crossed) get it usable.
I'm getting hard restarts when you take a second photo while hdr is processing and in low light conditions it will sometimes crash.
From what I've seen, though I could be wrong and my settings need a tweak but you can't use flash, you can't use front facing camera, and you can't enable motion photo.
Also sometimes when processing hdr it will freeze and you will have to force close and start again.
I'm only after a decent hdr+ back camera, I don't realy care that the front isn't working as to be honest the stock a8 camera is fine for a selfie etc.
Thanks guys, I hope this has helped a little or it might not help at all, but I thought I would share this as it's a version of gcam that doesn't crash on startup and does take photo's we'll sometimes it takes photos. ??

My friend, i found a gcam that works. It can take photos, but after every shot you need to change to video and back. Its zoran gcam. The thing is, the zgcam its just for donators. Look for the telegram group [Galaxy] Official Google Camera and ask for Egoist. He will explain you how to get into the zoran group.

The version I mentioned above does the same, you have to go to settings then back to photo before you can take another shot and also wait for hdr processing to finish.

Hi All,
This is my first post but i think some one will find it useful. Ukrainian developer going by the username B-S-G has modded the google pixel hdr camera app to work on snapdragon x820-x835 processors.
i have tested this on the leeco tv max x820 and it works perfect.#
but first i had to remove the stock camera via root uninstall system apps (see playstore).
i have attached a link to the camera app below.

Hey guys and girls,
just wanted to know if the gcam mod for op6 will get better when Google releases the official gcam app for the pixel 3. or will it be easier for developers to get better results for the op6 gcam mod?
will the devs of gcam mod stop their work on the present mod because it is based on the sd835 gcam app? if so then why do the devs even work on the mod now and up until the official sd845 gcam app instead of saying "there will be no gcam mod for the op6 until Google releases the official gcam app for the pixel3 (sd845). we will begin working on this project once the 845 app is available".
are the devs working on the gcam mod just because they are so kind/helpful/... that they spend lots of their free time just to get a working mod right away instead of waiting for the actual app that Google will release shortly? or will all the development into the present app help the devs once the sd845gcam.app is out?
And when did Google release the gcam app for the pixel 2 last year - together with the phone release or was the software available before the phone release?
lots of questions,
would love some clarification!
thanks so much,
v.
The whole thread belongs in the original thread. How a forum should work, so you speak to the developers directly..
1: it might
2: it might
3: they would probably stop using that base.. But keep some things in the code. (might)
4. Well... There are things you just don't know if they even will work properly or not when developing something. There are people in this world that just want to TRY make stuff better or just have fun with it. It's like saying there is no need to save people from starving because we will never succeed... And we therefore don't even care for trying..
5. Sigh... .. Peace out.
thx for answering,
I did think about posting my questions in the thread you mention. but I figured it's too much off topic. I didn't want to interrupt the actual development thread as I'm not helping the thread with useful info regarding the mod.
thanks for your reply,
v.
Well, it's good but the autofocus is slow and not accurated, sometimes got tint pic and the Portraid Mod is bugged (crashed and freeze). Other than that, the CameraAPI is not used so no full features like 4K 60fps etc. and more scalable resolution for photo camera.
This is a very important question, to the point if i keep the phone or not....

Why is camera API not used ?
On old days of OP1 they ported from Find 7 (Camera 2.67)...
Maybe from Oppo R15?

Because they need to be included by Arnova8G2 in next build.

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!

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.

What no one has mentioned yet is that Samsung broke some of the code that supported Gcam in the Oreo firmware update for the A8. Now, when you install Gcam the HDR option does not even show up; and it crashes the phone if you try to enable it (by forcing all images to be HDR, for example).
I'm thinking of rooting and using Magisk and the Camera2API enabler module -- has anyone tried this?
Edit: You also can't rollback to N using Odin because of changes to the bootloader
There are a lot of working GCam for A8 2018. I tried several of them. The one that works every time would be iDan's Gcam 3.2.9. Portrait, HDR and RAW works. As of now, I am trying out newer gcam with Night Sight hoping one would work. I report a new Gcam working in the A8/A8+ 2018 Telegram.

A GCam port you might be interested in is another IDan GCam port, dated 2018/09/12 and version 1.8 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77603383&postcount=170 (based on GCam v5.1?)
It's running okay on my A530F (v8.0, October 2018 security patch) and I've been able to capture front and rear camera videos and photos (though the front camera didn't seem to like the wider angle shots). I've not had time to test the other features, though at least this port doesn't appear to reboot the A8.
