[Q&A] Camera Mods and Ports on OxygenOS

For example, "ColorOS Camera for CM11s", "Another ColorOS Camera Port", and "CameraNext Modded."
The developers for these camera ports and mods are explicit about what they do and don't support.
None of them currently support OxygenOS. This bears repeating--"None of them currently support OxygenOS."
It is counter-productive and messy for users of OxygenOS to keep posting in the developer's threads about how their camera ports fall short of the expectations of those who are trying to plug the cameras into rom's for which they were not made.
Please come here and help each other, or be quiet, and leave the dev's alone.
If and when there is support for a camera on OxygenOS, the news will travel like lightning.
I have so far run some superficial tests with "ColorOS Camera for CM11s", and here are the results..., so you can know what to expect should you install it on OxygenOS.
You may add your observations to this thread as you wish.
So here's a list of what did and didn't work in OxygenOS.
What worked:
Normal worked just fine--all I did was leave settings on auto and pressed the shutter.
Burst worked, however each burst photo is only about 1/3 size of Normal photo in megabytes--this might be by design.
GIF worked.
Picture Plus worked.
Beautify worked.
HDR worked.
Colorful Filter worked.
Double Exposure worked.
What didn't work:
HDPicture did NOT work--it took only Normal sized shots at 13mp.
Super Macro did NOT work--it snapped a photo that turned out to be some sort of thumbnail.
Colorful Night snapped a photo, but terribly out of focus--tried several times..
Slow Shutter did NOT work.
Professional worked, but NOT using the timed shutter. I didn't try all the settings out.
RAW showed me the jpg, but I could not find the dng in OxygenOS native file manager app (Files), nor see it in Android Quickpic or in Windows.
Been testing out CameraNext Modded.
HDR worked.
Normal worked.
Macro worked however became difficult to focus when very close to subject, as I've not yet learned the proper place on the screen to tap to offset the parallax.
Variable shutter did not work.
That's as far as I got
Also, in the Normal settings, the only resolution options were 13mp and 10mp--don't remember if that's intentional.
COS12S CameraNext On OxygenOS:
Normal works, focus-Macro works.
Panorama makes a very tiny file, about 500kb.
Slo-mo 1080 @60fps worked. Grainy, but worked.
It might have been the medium light which was fine for 1080, or maybe that's just what happens.
No Slow Shutter available in Scene modes.
ColorOS Camera for CM11s/COS12 on OxygenOS
Video: 4K and 4K DCI recorded at 1920 x 1090. Slo-mo at 1280 x 738, and HDR at 1920 x 1090.
Thank you.

Darn I used HD more all the time.... hope they update it..i doubt it though...

Ya, me too. Give it time.
P.S.--you are welcome to post your experiences with the different cameras here and help fill in the blanks.

10mp (16:9) doesn't work
1) I normally prefer taking pictures in wide resolution. I guess oxygenOs has removed the support for wide resolution at higher mp.
The setting 10mp (16:9) in the camera setting for Colour OS app doesn't take pictures in 10mp, but in a very small resolution. Only the 2mp (16:9) and 0.9 mp (16:9) settings work.
2) Beautify doesn't work on my phone.
Seriously hope someone fixes this.
Thanks

Clear data.

Go System->Apps->the ColorOS camera app (might be called "Camera") and clear data.
Likewise for the plugins.
Try Beautify again.

ChronoSnap
Just now tested ChronoSnap on OxygenOS. Indeed, as the developer states, it seems to be a very simple and intuitive timelapse camera.
On OxygenOS though, it snaps only thumbnails.

@Android-Andi
This is information about SultanXDA's ROM regarding the camera.
SultanXDA ROM thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/onep...-12-1-t3120259
From the other thread I've learned to NOT flash another camera HAL, that ColorOS Camera has mirrored preview with selfies, and that ColorOS Camera will not show the 1080 selfie option.
Mirrored preview ColorOS Camera:
"sultanxda--Not a real bug. This is an issue with the ColorOS camera, not my HAL. The ColorOS cam was designed to be used by the CM/ColorOS camera libraries, and it's not a part of the actual ROM (it's an outside closed-source app), so I will make absolutely no effort to try and fix it."
1080 front camera ColorOS Camera:
"CameraNext and all other camera apps have the option, but ColorOS doesn't. Have you tried scrolling up in the video size list?"
Also, someone reported a bug switching from camera to pano or sphere:
"macimeister--Photosphere and Panorama mode in google camera app does not work. It is expected to improve this?
sultanxda--Just tested it, and this bug only happens when switching directly from camcorder mode to photosphere. Switching from camera mode to photosphere is fine.
There seem to be other bugs with Google Camera as well. I'll look into fixing them."
Since sultanxda states that many of the ColorOS camera features are closed-source, I gotta figure that for the most part, ColorOS and Another ColorOS will not be fully implemented.
Otherwise, seems to be fine camera-wise.

Improving camera quality

Hello everyone, I will be getting my Mi A1 in a week or two and I'm really looking forward to it. Well.. l maybe not the camera as I've seen it get some harsh reviews, especially in low light. That's why I want a thread here on how to improve the image quality. Looking into the matter it seems like google camera with hdr+ is the best bet so far? However can we share settings and tweaks here to improve it further. Also posting pictures for comparison versus stock would be great. :highfive::good::good:

I have an Mi A1 as my moto broke and needed one staright away. Being in Asia for work I had easy access to it.
I have used dark cameras for. Long time and can see that the algorithm to bump up the iso could do with a bit of modifying.. I have not had much chance to take shots.. took about 10 in total..
I will take a few shots in differing light and then import them into PC Lightroom and push a few shadows and raise iso and see what is the best result.
That info might be useful to those involved.. of what I have seen, the focus is okay, but high iso is a killer.. will report here again in a week or so.

It helps if you Untick "Enhance low light images automatically" under Settings and then shoot pictures under low light conditions with HDR on. The HHT or Hand Held Twilight mode doesn't help much also..

I don't use HHT .. isn't of much help..
Hdr is on
HHT off
Untick enhance low light images..
I tried every combination, thats the best one, if u keep the camera still.. at least the ISO problem is partially reduced.
But if you use manual mode . You can really get some good shots

Here are is a sample on manual mode. I used a light source, an led torch.

Thanks a lot: I will try, also in manual mode.
Anyway did you try Google Camera, and what is your opinion about it compared with stock camera ?

MI A1 DETAILED REVIEW AFTER COUPLE OF DAYS OF USAGE.
Pros :
1) Potrait shots are exceptionally well in good light conditions.
2) HDR works pretty well in Daylight.
3) The Dirac Sound built in is fabulous both in terms of speakers & on headphones.
4) Build quality is amazing.
5) Voice quality is very very clear.
Cons:
1) Night mode is really really bad.(Too much noise & Shaky pictures are captured ,loses focus most of the time)
2) Lack of image stabilization while clicking pictures in HDR mode as well as normal mode.
(Slight shaking of phone loses focus in HDR mode and makes pictures blurry)(MUST NEEDED IN NEXT UPDATE)
3) HDR mode in artificial light feels too much exposed over bright light and image feels too artificial.
4) No Electronic image stabilization (EIS) while shooting video its too shaky & not upto the mark.(MUST NEEDED IN NEXT UPDATE)
5) 2X shots are not that great when zoomed even 50% and also are much noisy at times.
6) The UI is smooth but feels at times having less transiston.(Forced swipe has to be done from up to down & from down to up)
7) Selfies are bit artificial at times want it more natural and too much beautification is being applied.
8) In phone app while clearing the call history the app crashes and doesn't clear the call history. It force stops.

Shots by stock cam, with optical zoom 10x and our 2x optical zoom. In last pictures I used digital zoom, too.

[Updated v3.6] Google Camera HDR+ Portrait (Selfie & Back) fully working

I have been following this website which upload all of Gcam versions. Recently a developer from the Russian forum 4pda (scrubber) uploaded APK which fixes all the problems of portrait mode and HDR+ for the selfie and back camera.
The Gcam doesn't require any configuration it's already set to the Nexus 6p model which gives the best details and the outcome of the pictures is amazing looks like it was taking with Pixel 2.
Direct Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/scrubber_GCam_5.1.018_25.apk
Thanks to @leomedeia
cstark27 version got the best white balance instead of the blue tint that was on scrubber's version.
Direct Link: Better Low Light v3.6(20/3/2018)
Latest version website: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I can't post pictures right now cause im traveling but please check it yourself

Working fine, thanks!

I've been following these ports for a long time too and I'm currently using "scrubber_GCAM_5.1.018_25". It has portrait mode on both the front and back cameras and works like a charm. Plus you don't have to configure anything since it's already done. So I suggest you try using that version.

I'm using the one you are suggesting and yes it has portrait mode but what about lens blur;

There can either be Portrait mode or Lens blur. If you really want Lens Blur, then the stable version that I used before, for Lens Blur was "GCam5.1.014-Arnova8G2-v9.1".
It produced some great results with Lens Blur and ofcourse with HDR+. Tho it depends on what config you use in the settings.

Why rear camera shows maximum resolution as 12 megapixel instead of 16 megapixels.
Please add the advance setting in ths app,so that we can swap between portrait n blur mode.

Its because google pixel 2 has 12 mega pixel in its rear camera resolution

Scrubber's versions were made to work on his Xiaomi Mi Max 2. It's a "install and forget" app, that's why you don't see an option to enable/disable Portrait Mode and probably the reason why you can't go past 12 MP on the back camera (that's the max resolution on his phone).
Try Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 instead. You will need to configure the app so HDR+ works without any issues. I have the OnePlus 3 and for that reason can't tell you which settings are the best for this phone, but try the ones compatible with the Nokia 8:
Model: Nexus 6P (or Pixel 2XL for less noisy, and less detailed, photos)
Config camera HDR+: Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr+ (ZSL available with Auto HDR, not with forced HDR/HDR enhanced)
HDR+ parameters: High
Or try some very stable, but limiting, settings:
Model: Nexus 6P (or Pixel 2XL)
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Auto
HDR+ parameters: Default
Some of the settings inside the "advanced" menu may not be compatible with this device. If the app starts crashing, you might be using incompatible settings or have enabled some incompatible feature.
This port is always evolving, so with time Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 will became "old". Keep trying his apks and the ones from B-S-G. Or just use these "install and forget" apks... they work too.
By the way, I have this telegram channel for update alerts. When I upload new apks to the page linked by @sayedam, I also post them on the telegram channel.

I have also been following the gcam development and almost test each update on daily basis on Nokia 6 (2017)
Till now(as of January 16,2018) the best camera for Front and back portrait working flawless is the

While using @Arnova8G2 's latest mod......GoogleCamera-PixelMod-Arnova8G2-5.1.018-v1...... Just like all previous versions i have tested. For Nokia 6 although this camera gives exteme details and good photos with any configuration we use but one and only issue comes that front camera picture whether its Normal capture or portrait mode from front camera have blue tint on pictures
Otherwise this camera is the great in picture quality.
Tagging dear @Arnova8G2 here so that if he can look and if he can help us with that ?

Sorry i was editing the post and you answered really quick... Brother its pixel mod v1 ...its previous version also had same issue.. I have tested all the previous versions gcmod5 as well.
For gc5mod the pictures from front camera contain no details i.e. look like 0.2 MP pics. But also they have no tint.... Right now i am again checking the mod u link to confirm it...
Give me just 120 seconds to confirm it

Dear @Arnova8G2 brother
The GCam you linked behaves like this here on Nokia 6
Back camera normal mode.... Black screen
Back camera portrait mode... Works perfect
Front camera normal mide... No tint.. but pic quality is like 0.2 MP camera
Front camera portrait mode... No timt... Same low pic quality
To be honest pixel mod is best only tint is the issue there. That's all

Works great, thanks. Btw, is there any chance to hide slow-motion from the menu, since it doesn't work?

@Arnova8G2 Is there a way to circumvent the 12MP limitation and get PDAF to work since the Nokia 6 has a 16MP PDAF sensor with a nicely working Camera2 API?

Camera2Api

Why everyone need camera 2 API. Miui camera is best, I test on miui 9 Google camera and it is the same. Only advantage of camera api it is possibility to write RAW file, but only some people want it

No, Gcam produces better dynamic range, better color production, less noise. In daylight difference not that big but especially in low light gcam is far better. Only bad thing on gcam you have to wait too long for shoot a photo. Also stock camera on selfies is literally garbage, doesn't use all capabilities of the sensor.

No, Google Camera is absolutely better, especially on the night photos :highfive:

I not tested front camera on camera 2 API.
Back camera is near the same imo

Gcam generally produces better images, the result is worth the added processing time. Portrait selfie is a lot damn sharper and that one is nowhere MIUI camera can touch.

Guys, join the petition on the official MIUI forum. Here's the link, we want our Camera2 API back on our Mi Note 3!!
http://en.miui.com/thread-3737375-1-1.html

Done

Config about Camera from Miui 10 has difference from Miui 9 which Mi 10 has not Level 3 but Mi 9 has config Level 3
you can install app name : camera2 Probe and droid hardware info from play store to check your config

So we are staying with miui 9 until xiaomi unlocks this?

The image quality of the camera is a LOT worse than advertised

Hello there, other S10e owners,
Recently, I took advantage of an early Black Friday sale to get an S10e, the phone I was craving for a while. They said the image quality is on par with the Pixel 3 after the May update, but in reality, it's just as noisy and "oil-paintingish" as my Xperia Z1 Compact from four (!!!) years ago.
The samples are in the attachment of this forum post; the first and the third image was taken with the Google Camera app, and the second and forth one with the Samsung Camera app. The first two images were taken with HDR, but the latter ones without HDR.
As you can see in the non-HDR pictures, the Samsung Camera picture has less noise, but cold, washed-out colours and less detail thanks to the aggressive noise cancellation.
On the other hand, the Google Camera image has the correct colour representation and more detail, but with the sacrifice of noise cancellation.
With HDR+, though... Things get even worse. The Samsung Camera app now blurs out even more detail and the Google Camera app just cranks up the ISO to levels that make the image too bright.
In conclusion, the image quality is not on the promised levels, but I hope there's something I can do with it (like a good setup.xml file that can fix GCam to shoot exceptionally good images in both sun- and low light or fixing the Samsung Camera app). So, in order to fix this, I need your help. Please give me advice to pimp back up the image quality to the levels I saw in camera reviews.
Edit: Oops, I forgot to mention that I have the Exynos version.

If you can do something with it, here's the link: GCam Exynos APK
In sunlight, it should theoretically work with the stock settings, but they say it's recommended to change the auto-exposure correction to 1/2 sec, the Night Sight correction to 1/4 sec and the exposure compensation to -3,0 to get the best out of daytime GCam photos.
For Night Sight images, it's recommended to use the mackytravel-nightsight.xml file without any changes for outdoor night photos and for indoors, turn off auto-exposure correction and exposure compensation, change the Night Sight correction to 1
or 2 sec (depending on the level of darkness) and in the Advanced drop-down menu, turn off the ISO limit. This way, you can get more detail out from the S10e's powerful camera sensors.
Lastly, if you'd like to shoot something with the wide-angle lens, just change the auxiliary camera switching method to the long-press method.
You can find my GCam config folder with all of the said configuration files at the link here.
Just install the GCam apk, copy-paste the config folder to the root of your internal storage (/storage/emulated/0/) and double tap on the black area around the shutter button to choose between the three configuration files.

I've noticed a similar thing with my camera on my SD 855 model where images taken using the camera just don't look very natural or realistic. They look very much like a painting!
Currently I get better results with HDR on and scene optimiser turned off.
My iPhone 7 photos still look a bit more natural at times but obviously less detailed.
