What's wrong with the second photo?
EDIT: Never mind, the phone on the stand was hard to notice

Is everything else working including slow motion? And is there any lag compared to the unmodified systema's camera speed? Cause I've experienced those in 7.0, and a lot of crashes

Yes. You need to be rooted and have Camera 2 API turned on

It works well on Oreo with root!! Thank you

As this is not your original work could you also link us to the original thread so incase there are issues we can find them there. Also it's a good thing to link the original thread and not just the person whose work yours sharing. Thanks for the video mate.

I worry that the Pixel camera is not optimized for the Mi A1. Are there any comparison shots to see if there is a difference in picture quality?
PS: I know that I am suggesting that the current camera app is optimized, which is a little ludicrous if you consider the low light performance

The current stock (A1) camera is a king in daylight. Both rear and Portrait ... But in low light its not. Pixel camera won there. .. For example if u like to take a Portrait shot in extremely low light in A1 then Pixel Camera will help. With Flashlight also....
I don't have any comparison shots now. But i can tell u its worth. 200% worth

This is great news, thank you! It makes me hopeful that the low light performance in the vanilla version of the A1 will improve significantly with software updates... fingers crossed

This is Epic! It's wonderful how Google proves to be a portrait maestro without dual cameras!!
Same lights (none) and still portrait mode acheived with flash from front camera. I am so happy to have a phone running on Oreo and to have stumbled upon this post. Thanks.

Fails to load on Codename Phoenix - with Google cam already installed.
Is this worth installing? Any improved features etc?

It starts and is able to capture pics on OOS OB2, more than GCAM so I'll give it a try.

Works flawlessly, except video recording in normal mode.

So for dual camera, does this enhance low light shots etc? Any chance of a camera shot comparison?

Thanks for this. I can say that, surprisingly, the photos look better than the ones taken with the OnePlus camera.

Just informing everyone I don't think this app works on non-OOS roms. Hopefully a port or magisk module will make it a reality.

Does not work for me. Always an error message comes on "can't connect to camera"

don't you think, that the both cameras work together on OOS? portrait mode is really bad, though and low light aren't as good as promised.
for now, I am on omnirom with gcam from arnova and it runs really good. portrait pictures really look awesome!

Mi Mix 2S Camera Question

I'm heading on vacation next week, and will be taking a lot of pictures, including many in low lighting. I'm currently on a custom ROM using GCam, but haven't been impressed with the camera quality.
Would I see a large increase in quality if I went back to MIUI and used the MIUI camera? I haven't done any direct GCam to MIUI camera comparisons so was hoping for some opinions.

It depends on the version of gcam you are using but in general , i use only stock ... I have both and when a new version of gcam comes out i test it , and i find out that it is very unstable , takes a lot of time , etc ... Night shots , better on manual mode in miui camera app

Camera Quality on MIUI
Miui has improved camera quality, i encourage you to test it and let us know what you think about it.

To my current knowledge our stock Miui camera is far more better integerated than any other camera app out there.
But still compare your current photos with mix 2s photos from the net and if you dont notice any issues then you are good to go !

[App Req] Google camera app required.

Hi guys,
The Google camera app listed on play store isn't compatible. If some one can share the modded gcam app for Moto g7 power it would be very much useful.

I tried the arnova version available in the APK mirror and it worked well for photos

I have the Google camera Mod Pixel 3 Version from the g7 Plus,it works fine on the g7 power,too.

Please use the official XDA Google Camera Hub, which is located here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/
As for the actual apk, it can be downloaded here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g7/themes/gcam-moto-g7-portrait-night-sight-video-t3906296
I've been using the GCAM app in the above link and it is frickin awesome. I also own a first gen Pixel XL, and pictures with the GCAM app on a Moto 7 power is comparable. I would almost say that dynamic range is better on the Moto 7 Force. The only thing the Pixel XL does better is faster HDR processing. If you take a bunch of HDR pictures in a row the Moto 7 Force may bog a bit. But not a lot. I have not had the app force stop or lock on me yet.
The GCAM app is far and away much better than the stock camera app. I completely removes the fuzziness and/or blurring in low light. Trust me, I have young kids and this app allows me to take really good pictures of them. Before using the GCAM app, it has been really hit or miss.

Unfortunately, I do not have a site to host pictures. However, you can just download the app and try it. It requires no root and takes minutes to test. There is a very big difference.

I've found that default settings are rather aggressive. I've toned down the total frames to 4 as to avoid stretching and tearing. In the camera, click on More and then on Settings, then on BSG MOD Settings, then HDR+ Parameters. The MIN and MAX frames define how many frames the camera stitches together to create the final picture. I have mine at 4 and am happy with it. In low light, you can get better results by using more frames. However, you will be waiting a LONG time since our camera's don't have dedicated Visual Core image processing unit. If you have max frames at 10 and take 2-3 shots in a row, the phone will lag the images are created.
Play around with it and have fun!

Which is the latest you're referring to? I get confused with so many different versions.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------
Actually after testing out several different versions, there's some weird blurryness/focus issues going on that I'm not experiencing with the regular camera app. I don't know, I'm very disappointed, pictures are still better with the main app ehh.

gcam

Anyone please try gcam on OP7PRO & SHARE samples from both stock as well as images captured from gcam please

Check out this post in the Q&A section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/gcam-mod-7-pro-t3930459 That seems to be where most of the activity is for gcam.

Did some comparisons here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/camera-comparison-gcam-vs-stock-t3931423

All seem working well exept the front facing camera where resolution is 4mp and 12 in portrait, also in portrait mode some underexposure and lack of focus.
I pm Arnova with same info, hope will have a new version soon.
I was thinking about open a telegram grp like s9 to be more convenient.

Anybody tried this one?

I found actually the Google Camera that was released for the OnePlus 6 works.
What I like about the Google Camera is the Augmented Reality, I would assume they work for the new OnePlus 7 Pro specific Google
Tried a newer APK, still does not run all the Playground content but otherwise is ok

Thanks guys. The mi9 gcam mod works flawlessly. I tried the R7pro mod, but it has a habit of freezing and capture delay at around 0.0017s

I made an xml to go with it.... Just place it in GCam/Configs then open gcam double tap the space between or below the shutter button to apply it.

What file sizes are you folks seeing with the cam pics? Stock or GCam.

Tried using your config.the color profile seems pretty good but the capture speed is way to slow.

Then lower the frame capture rate... It's gcam.... And it will only be slower like that in low light... With the way I have it set you will get good quick captures outdoor and slower but better quality indoor or low light situations without needing to use night sight.

how do you get playground working..i don't see that option?

Got everything to work with your setup but is there a reason the back cam is set to 8.3 megapixels?

Pics come out too Cool
So, I've tried these different mods, and while sharpness is better with them, I feel like the colors come out way too cool and not true to real life at all. Complete opposite of what I get with my Pixel 3XL. Anyone experiencing the same, or perhaps has gotten a GCAM mod they are really happy with?

Here are some example I took on my OP7P. I used gcam and stock camera. I have to say that the stock camera is pretty sad.
I love the phone, but I am very disappointed in the camera.
The night photos were taken with Nightsight on GCam and Nightscene on stock.
GCam seems to come out much cool indoors, not staying as true to the colors sometimes. Stock is definitely not capturing the details.
