[Guide] How to make 3D photos for Facebook

Hi guys!
Before few times i asked this question, but no one answered. Looks like I found a way through. Usually, this option is available for iOS users only.
1. Your photo needs to be blurred - Live Focus, Portrait Mode (gcam) etc, you got the point.
2. Upload the photo to https://www.depthy.me
3. You will see some kind of error. Click load and upload the same picture to create depthmap.
4. You will see the preview of the 3D image now in the next step you need to look at the bottom and click on the image icon.
5. Here you will see the Depth Image Map. Save it.
6. Rename both files to 1.jpg and 1_depth.jpg
7..Upload both files to the desktop version of Facebook.
8. After few seconds you will see new window which says Creating 3D Photo.
10.Done!
Tip:
You can set the privacy to only me if you just wanna see the result.
Here you can check the original way. I'm doing in like this because I don't use google camera as the main app.

The best working GCam for MOTO G7 Power

I have tested many of the GCam apps available from the Google Camera Port hub here
The best working one for my Moto G7 Power XT1955-4 is the GCam MOD from the developer arthur.
Test the different settings to choose what is working best for you, especially you can dig in the Advanced settings.
For example you can:
- use the H.265/HEVC format for video;
- get a RAW+JPEG control on your main screen
- get HDR+ (HDR+ and HDR+ enhaced)
- get a Night Sight shortcut for night shooting on the main camera view
- adjust many noise reduction parameters
- change and test the AWB (Default, Pixel 2, Pixel 3)
-change the JPEG quality 90%, 95%, 97% and 100%
- change the HDR+ Enhanced frames: Default=8, Medium=14, High=18, Very high=24
and many more!
You can download the latest version of the GCam back.rider apk from here
Other versions made from other developers can be downloaded from Google Camera Port hub
---
EDIT August 2020:
From some time I'm using GCam modifications made from Parrot043, it was working pretty well with Android 9 before, and now with Adnroid 10 after I upgraded my Moto G7 Power to Q.
Strongly recommend you to test the Parrot043 GCam modification
If you still use Android 9, than you need GCam version 7.0.x
If you are with Android 10, then version 7.3.x or bigger is for your OS

@lubo777 can you please tell me exact settings you have as i dont really have a clue. Just need it for good pictures and portrait mode. Thanks in advance

I recommend to test NOT the latest GCam MOD from back.rider version 1.3a but a bit older version which have better picture details and less noise GCam 2.6a
This was reported on the XDA page of the GCam MOD and I can confirm it.
Bellow are the settings I use: see the attachment.

If you like to install multiple versions of a GCam and test the differences you can do that easy with App Cloner app - for example you can install the latest GCam 1.3a and the older 2.6a and see the difference

Appreciate your help. Thanks mate

So what did anybody figure out? I'm using the latest by Sanity. I can never tell the difference between any of them other than the HDR rendering taking longer or shorter.

Thanks for the advice. Can anyone recommend a way to launch GCam using the default twisting moto-action? It's possible to do once the phone is unlocked, but a locked phone always launches the stock camera app.
I'm also looking for a way to save from GCam to an external sd card. The best way seems to be through using a Tasker (or similar) profile to automate moving photos over, then deleting from inboard storage. There's a GCam Tools app that replicates this behavior, but seems a bit buggy.
Cheers

There is a new version of the GCam MOD GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.apk which have the best results according to few tests below ...
Bellow are some day shooting examples with HDR+ and no HDR+ made with the latest version 1 of the GCam, the previous one 1.3a and version 6.1.021_N7P_test2.6a of the GCam MOD from back.rider555 made with MOTO G7 Power
My personal opinion is that the latest version is the best one according to AWB and details!

All 3 versions have the same setup, I'm attaching also my setup as a attachment below the images.

Thank you for the detailed testing and posting your photo samples. That's the most thorough I've seen yet. Personally, I feel the NO HDR+ image taken with the GCam-6-2-024-N7-P-test1-3a looked the best. Not by much, but marginally. The G7 Power images seem to have a very shallow dynamic range and the HDR+ photos from each version seems to blow out the highlights (see lower right hand corner grassy area where there is direct sunshine) more than the NO HDR+ samples. I would have expected the opposite, with the HDR photos preserving more shadow detail while taming the highlights, but the blades of grass in the NO HDR+ samples are more clearly defined.

Yesterday I discovered that I have some problems with the Focus on my MOTO G7 Power with the latest version. I don't now if there is such a problem with Nokia 7 Plus camera, probably the problem is Moto camera hardware specific ...
The problem is that in wide scenes (not closeup) in Camera Mode the focus is 100% NOT correct where I have tapped on the screen ...
In Portrait Mode everything is OK with the Focus ... very strange.
On closeup scenes the Focus is much better in Camera and Photo modes, as you can see bellow.
On all pictures the Focus is on the strawberry.
Camera mode NO HDR
Camera mode HDR+
Camera mode HDR+ enchanced
Portrait mode NO HDR+
Portrait mode HDR+
Portrait mode HDR+ enhanced
Night Sight
Night Sight

I have tested A LOT of the different GCAM Mod's and definitely 100% the best one working with all possibilities is the GCAM Mod from arthur
What in this GCAM MOD is especially useful for me:
1. The possibility to save Pictures / Video on external SD Card
2. Back and front Camera possibility to fine tune the "Noise suppression" the "Black level adjustment" and "Saturation"
3. To save Portrait pictures in the same folder with all other folders (by default GCAM saves each Portrait image in a different folder )
4. Burst mode - working perfect!!!
5. Slow motion mode
6. Exposure control features
7. Manual Focus options - especially to have focus slider on the camera screen
8. Zoom Noise suppression
9. Video Bitrate change
10. Developer Settings
In this Mode there is no Night Sight link / menu - you get perfectly working Night Sight feature on the main Camera screen in HDR+ enchanced
Below are few pictures made with this mod at night and day

I'm not using / haven't used the External Card feature, because the Internal SD Card is much faster for Burst pictures / video.

I have the same problem with that version not being able to save to the SD card. Maybe a permissions issue.
Interestingly, the main features of the app properly display, for me, in English. But, the error message items are in cirillic....

I have found another GCam MOD which have much more Camera Extended settings and is the best working for me.
I'm testing it on my phone for few days and have to say that this GCam MOD have everything I need as a fine tinning functionality.

Stock cam vs gcam (without ia /edit)

Here you can compare shots on realme 5 pro stock vs gcam (main cam) . The result are the same on x2 phone and others phone. Colors and contrast are too strong on the native app, more unatural. Thanks to all developpers! https://photos.app.goo.gl/qUoNtF34C6wEQkVx5

Hello. thank you, yes then first of all I used the xml file "anand" then I was in the advanced parameters / activate modifications of libraries / and changed the shadows to - 1 instead of 6 (dark). for the wide angle you just have to activate it manually in advanced settings.

Hello,
Would you be able to share a main camera RAW file from the GCAM and the Stock cam ?
Also, from what I have seen with the media photo samples is that the stock 64mpx mode is way better than the 16mpx JPG.
There is more color info and better sharpness on the 64mpx JPG when downscaled with software like PhotoShop to 16mpx.
Would be very interesting to compare a stock DNG, GCAM DNG and stock 64mpx JPG to see what we can find out.
Really interested in buying this phone if the RAW files are good.
Thank you and have a nice weekend !

I increased the contrast to 1,5 in the avdanced parameters instead 1 because with anand xml the contrast is a little bit too flat..

Hello, Google Photos doesn't let me download the DNG file(downloads only a jpg from the DNG - They also compress the dng files).
Would you be able to upload the DNG into another file sharing page ?
Also, could you share a 64mpx photo from the stock cam and a GCAM dng of the same shot ?
I'll post my findings here.
Thank you for the help!

960fps slow motion mod

Credits goes to the guys of this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ide-enable-960fps-slow-motion-7t-pro-t4101389
The mod adds to the stock camera the option to record 10 seconds of the video in 720p 960 fps.
Just wanted to let you know that in the normal one plus 7 this mod works as well. I am using the latest stable Android 10 firmware with arter97 kernel. I did not tested the macro mode.
The only one difference is that we need to add the values described in the topic above to camera 0 and 3, because the camera 5 does not exist for us. Please check carefully the screenshots.
Don't forget to install the newest apk of the camera from the link below, as well as after applying the mod don't forget to restart your phone.

Have fun!

Not working with my OP7, with camera ver: OnePlus Camera 3.10.17 and OOS 10.3.2.GM57AA.
After editing the .xml files when I open the camera app it shows nothing just a black screen.

How about enabling Macro mode, Did it work for any?

3.10.19 is the newest version. Download this version, edit the XML 0 and 3 by adding the values, and then restart the phone. It has to work because for me is working.

The only difference is I am using pref edit to edit xml because preferences manager is always crashes on my mobile.
And pref edit is working.
Would you please share your screenshot or suggest something.

Hi! I am the author of the original thread. First. Camera 5 id exist on our phone. Is for multi camera. As camera 0 is for dual. And camera 3 is for wide angle. Totally not used here. The stringset needs to be added on 0 and 5 for stability reasons. I would appreciate the OP to not create duplicated of the threads please. (Thanks for the credits though, but this mod is not only mine, other people deserve credits too) and not spread wrong info please.

Hi @elmarian756
With all respect, the purpose of writing it here was to inform the users of standard one plus 7 about the possibility of using this mod. I decided to write about it here because it was important to mention that the settings in the preferences manager apk has to be different. If you think that this topic doesn't make sense, please edit your topic and include the information that the standard op7 can also use this mod with the proper settings. In that way I don't mind in deleting this topic. The idea was just to share the info, not to change/share/steal the credits from the original author.
I believe that for the op7 pro there is CameraInfo_5.xml file, but for op7 there is not. Please take a look at the screenshot below how does it look in my op7. The CameraInfo_3.xml is the "highest" available number. There is also CameraInfo_2, and 1 and 0, but there is no file which has number 5 in the title. I guess that the difference is caused by the reason that the op7pro has one camera lens more (the wide angle what you wrote about) compared to op7 which does not have that lens.
For the users of standard op7 (me including) editing the camerainfo_3 and 0 brings the possibility of using 960fps slow motion mod. If you wish, I can record and share the video showing the settings as well as the sample of the 960fps slow motion.
By the way, thanks for sharing the info about this mod!
All the best,
Misiek735

I am sorry i dont want to be rude but you are just misinformed. The information you are providing is just incorrect.
You can check this yourself typing *#*#1597#*#* and check the cameras IDs.
IDs are: 0 for dual
5 multilens
4 telephoto related (not sure which mode uses this)
3 wide angle
2 telephoto
1 front camera.
Oneplus can set many IDs as they need according to use.
There is no higher or lower. Dial the code and switch between modes and you will find out yourself.
Changing only 0 id works. But crashes camera sometimes. It needs 5 too. 3, is wide angle. Totally unrelated.
That is why you enable macro support on cameraid 3. Because macro uses that wide angle lens.
Again, i dont mean to be rude. But you are calling my info wrong. Just posting wrong information. It will confuse users. And you are duplicating a thread. It will only create confusion. Please do check your info. Is wrong. I dont want to report the thread as duplicate. But kinda is. Users dont need this clarification or my info doesn't need correction. With all respect. Yours is wrong.
Cheers and all the best! :highfive:

Google camera

I found out there are some modded versions of the app, but after googling around for a while, I am completely and utterly confused. There are tons of pages, numerous versions, and total chaos with lack of any clear information.
There is a thread in apps section of this subforum, but it's just as confusing.
Can anyone give me any basic info about all this please?

Hello, happy new year
Do you have Snapdragon variant or exynos?

I have Exynos.
I have gone as far as finding Zoran mod, which should supposedly be THE one to get for Exynos, but I am totally confused by
1) the configs (which I can't find any good explanation for)
2) something called camera2 API
3) why does the camera interface look completely different than I can see on screenshots
4) why the settings look completely different than screenshots on Zoran's website as well
5) whether both rear cameras are available and how do I switch between them

Config file (important to apply before using):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ik1Gm3i3WkwyBq4kJB-uNsrKuPNIP6_o
How to Use Config:
• Create a folder with the name GCam
• Now, inside that folder, create another folder with the name Configs
• Download and paste the Config file into that folder.
• Open the GCam app and tap on the black area in the viewfinder and select the Config then, Restore.

But what do the configs do, and why would I need them?
Also what kind of gcam is this?
