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.

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.

Dude I just checked. Selfies are getting flipped after clicking the picture.
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.

I am sorry for that but in my case it is working properly without any problem so I am not able to scratch this.

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.

I have tried several settings using GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk and:
- app stops when switch to front camera
- if not crash immediately, app stops when I tap to take a photo
- only with HDR totally disabled camera shots a photo but it is BW with some stripes
Any suggestions?

I'm using this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash.apk
So far so good. I like the personalization menu of this one better than the Arnova one.
Didn't test it thoroughly, but in both versions portrait camera works and so does slow motion (this two were the most reported bugs I saw).
Anyone trying diferent versions, let us know so we can compare.

Works perfectly with Camera2 API Enabler by P1N20.
Thanks a lot for sharing ! With HDR on quality seems better !
And Google panorama feature is a must

Thanks for this guide.
I'm currently using Arnova's v8.3b1 Google Cam, and I also noticed that sometimes after taking a picture it takes forever to process HDR images. The front cam with HDR on force closes when you take a picture as well.

It's working for me. But if it's not working, I suggest (,reinstalling or,) trying the one it's based on (check my previous post). And if still buggy, try others posted here. Or go for the arnova ones. They act like regular apps, so you can try and try.
Also, I've noticed they treat the colors in a diferent way. If anyone with time wants to compare the actual pictures, it'll be nice

Could someone that has followed this guide and enabled camera2 API download this app from play store. Camera2 probe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.weis.camera2probe
And post your screenshot please
I have not enable camera2 API yet and was curious if that physically changes the hardware level support.
Thanks in advance

For the front cam, the flash thingy (white screen of death) causes a crash. Disabling it will let you have a front cam that doesnt take pictures lol

@adriakus thanks for the report bruh. Tried the one you shared and front cam works! Updated the post for others. Thanks man!

@fake__knv Thx for the credit! I'll keep trying other versions from now and then and I'll post them here if I find any differences.

Pixel 3 Camera APK (works on Pixel 2)

Not taking any credit for this. I initially found it posted on reddit and was surprised to not see it here yet..
Here is the link to the Pixel 3 Camera APK.:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-6-1-009-215420794-release/
I can confirm it works on my Pixel 2. No rooting required. Just install. Updates existing camera app.

Thanks for sharing!

great, confirm working on my pixel 2, no root, updated my pixel cam app.

I found if "Pixel 2 Blurry Panorama Fix" magisk module was installed and enabled, this new camera apk would force close.

i use that link ;
https://download.apkquick.com/file/Google/Pixel3camera/Pixel3Camera.apk.html

Look's good but picture quality it's the same or not ?

I feel like it doesn't capture as fast

Is there any way to revert?

Turn off the motion setting. It's the setting that makes a short video and a photo.

I'm struggling to get RAW images to open in Snapseed. No idea if this is a problem with the files being created in the Camera app, or Snapseed...

It's enough. But still the colors are not that accurate. U can change the rear camera model to pixel 2 xl, to tinker around.

I tried but filters doesn't work in portrait mode. Filters just work in camera mode.
Like in camera mode (hd off, hdr+enhanced, hdr on) filters will work.
But portrait mode filter doesn't work in (hd off, hdr+enhanced, hdr on).
Please solve this issue. Because some pictures are more detailed in filter.

Front cam colors need to be tunned
Good work

Thanks, this solved the freezing issue.
This bulkin version is producing more accurate color profile/ saturation than the san1ty build. Also the lens blur seems to be working normally in this.
Downside: it is more resource intensive than the san1ty build, but nowhere near the xtreme build level. Seems good.

Whatever can make my phone take better pictures while a real Gcam mod is available for this phone.

Does anyone know what the settings do? I noticed that disabling the settings above and below the setting with the chinese characters slows down taking photos, but also slightly improves the photo quality.

I have tried this in my Mi 9 Lite, but I don´t see anything happen, nothing with the folder and no more settings. I already had all settings shown in your pic.
Maybe I misunderstood what you mean by "force close". Could you explain'?
Edit: Disregard from above question. English is not my native language, so I had a confusion on terminology. Still, nothing happens when I force stop.
