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 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.
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 ;

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.

You are saying this. I am thankfull that it is working properly. All the mods which i tried previously were all crashing they were messing with my settings. Every time when i was installing those mods i had to uninstall them because there were some features which were not working then and then restart my device every time. Now i can say hdr is working that was the biggest problem in kirin devices that hdr was not processing. Now only this little blue tint is the issue....
Some one has to work for it now @Urnyx05 my friend this gcam is working now on my honor play without crashing. Every hdr is now processing. i will mention the link below so that u can try it on honor 8 pro and do the settings mentioned above this post...
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+.apk
I m using honor play COR-L29 8.2.0.132(C432GT).
I have followed all the instructions.
I get a blue tint all over the photo when HDR+ is enabled on back camera
I am using honorplay I tried this after installing 3.9gb system update
Downloaded->clicked on install -> but it says app unable to install , and in all apps I saw that the app is installed but when trying to open the app it doesnt perform any action and comesout directly.
I appreciate the work but i think it only works on emui 8.2 and as i m running emui 9 so it's not working for me .The moment i press the shutter button it crashes.?

At the same time honor 10 running on emui 8.1 CANNOT do this... The exposure is automatic (you cannot touch a light source and adjust the camera exposure)

- Video (at 1080p)
-Panorama, Photo Sphere
-portrait
Features NOT working:
- Slow motion
- Due to hdr, front camera is not working properly and there is no option to disable it. This is due to limited hardware access
There is a toggle for manual hdr switch on and of that works sometimes but sometimes not...
! Tip to use front camera use lens blur.

Guys tryout the new ? mentioned above. Its working
Blue tint in main camera.
Fix blue tint plzzz
Someone has to work for it now it is the perfect gcam for kirin devices but only one option we want now is to disable the hdr on front camera. This camera takes better images than the stock camera without hdr. @saneklic can you give us the option to disable hdr on front camera. So that we can take the Normal pictures with portrait and face retouching.
It is impossible to work hdr on front camera because of limited access of hardware. So what we want now is to disable hdr on front camera.
Guys this is the best gcam

Hello everyone, I am creating this thread to provide the stable and beta builds of gcam, to avoid confusion and to keep the forums clean.
Thank you @S4turno(Celso) for hosting, mirroring, translating and sharing all a to z Gcam..
Special Thanks to @Arnova8G2 for all his support and hardwork !!!!
FAQ GOOGLE CAM-
I CAN'T INSTALL X VERSION, WHY?
Make sure you uninstall every other GCam Port on your phone. You can't have two 6.1 gcam versions installed.
HOW DO YOU SWITCH BETWEEN CAMERAS?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/127r0_UNKMNY5MN5OrWYZISEleK8cZj4x/view?usp=drivesdk
HOW DO YOU USE NIGHTSIGHT WITH THE DIFFERENT LENS?
Select the lens in main mode, switch to Night Mode, then double tap the Camera Switch Button.
WHY THE FRONT CAMERA IS 4MP AND BACK CAMERA 12MP ?
Selfie camera uses pixel binning, same as for the main sensor. Since camera2api implementation only delivers a 4MP raw stream (16MP/4 = 4MP because of pixel binning)
GCam can only work with what raw stream the API delivers.
Same goes for back cam.
WHICH GCAM IS THE BEST ?
There is no best gcam. There are stable and beta builds which work fine for daily usage, but not the best. There may be some crashes here and there.
WHICH XML IS THE BEST ?
The xmls provided in the folder whose link is given below are the best at the moment.
HOW TO USE XML ?
A link to Celso Azevedo site is given below which clearly explains how to import and export xmls.
Mod Edit: Link removed
WHY COLOURS ARE DULL ??
Sometimes the settings may not be applied by the xmls, and in 6.2 gcam, you need to manually set saturation levels.
Also changing awb can help.
Use the xml.
Use the settings from the given screenshots for 6.2 gcam.
WHY CAMERA CRASHES ?
Changes in libs may cause crashes, in such a case clear app data.
WHY AUX CAMERAS ARE NOT WORKING ?
You need ROOTED DEVICE for now to use aux cameras.
METHODS TO USE AUX CAMERAS- There are 2 methods:-
1) Setting selinux to permissive by-
1a) Using nfs injector magisk module or renovate ice magisk rom.
1b) Using custom kernels like Kirisakura or Smurf
2) Installing gcam as a system app-
2a(Install any of the 6.1 gcam app as a standard user app by installing the apk as you would normally.
2b)Open the camera app and enable the usual set of permissions (local storage, camera, etc.)
3)Use the magisk module given below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19lwuT8koKQG3dod9nW2xzVHxWGQR-K3W/view?usp=drivesdk
The link below will provide the Gcams working-!!
THERE ARE 1) XCAM BETA 11
2) GCAM 6.2 WITH XML SUPPORT
3) GCAM 7 BETA
IN THE FOLDERS WHICH THE LINK BELOW PROVIDES !!
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-FAjRY4S5PIBnL2vsf0Fm-pVw3QwOi2s
Another link for xmls-
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/oneplus-7-pro/
*These are the stable gcam, everything works perfectly except slow motion, stable for daily usage, also they support auxiliary cameras.
If you want to use aux cameras in
night sight and video mode, use xcam.
TO USE XML ON 6.2, LOAD XML TWICE!!
A quick guide on how to use xmls. -
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
Thanks to @S4turno
Urnyx 6.2 (No XML SUPPORT)(STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.4.apk
Urnyx 7.2 (No XML Support)(STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v1.3.apk
Star Cam based on Gcam 7 (STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.0.009_StarCam_v1.apk
*For gcam 6.2-
Firstly, after installing apk, go to settings, go to about and enable "Enable Advanced Mode"
*For 6.2 Urnyx gcam-
It is a simplistic mod, not much to edit.
Guide:
- How to use manual controls?
- First of all, you must use HDR+ Enhanced. Then, enable the options in settings to show the sliders (only the 1st time). When you are in viewfinder to take a photo, click on "Pro" button to join the pro mode, where you can see all the sliders. Now, you can set any values you want. At the end, tap on the screen to apply changes (otherwise it won't work)
NOTE-
1) Only this version of 6.2 supports xmls-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.2beta2.190907.0540.apk
2) Slow motion doesn't work for now.
3) Lens distortion in wide lens.
How to have multiple gcams installed-

Guys...
PLEASE READ ALL WHAT IS WRITTEN IN OP'S INITIAL THREAD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS THAT DON'T HAVE ANSWERS IN THE FIRST POST WILL BE ADDED . ALSO IT'S AN ONGOING SUBJECT WITH POSSIBILITIES TO CHANGE
Thank you...
Thanks! This works great....running intl version rom on tmobile op7pro with elementalX kernel... Used the desaturated xml, looks good. Also turned down saturation for main back camera as it was still a tad high....its weird because in viewfinder(screen) it looks ok, its only when the photo is processed is where saturation gets boosted....those settings are under "advanced" " highlight saturation" 1.3 and for "highlight shadows" 1.1 .....for anyone that wants to know. Also turned up jpeg quality to 100
Maybe this is a stupid question, but where is the apk file located initially?

I was looking for a working Gcam with astrography on my One Plus 7 pro and i tried more than 30 different apks by different modders all had issues with astro and i accidentally discovered that the version PMGC_7.2.014_Relesed_V1.apk from Parrot043 with working astrography. I have uploaded few pics with astrography.
Know bug : Astrography will start but it will not end automatically you have to manually end it after the timer stops.
PS : I take no credit of this application as well as bugs. All credits go to the developer Mr.Parrot043

hi thanks for sharing it other functions are working?
Will have to check
Well as far as i know lens changing is not working, full zoom fc, others will have to see
All three lens are functional. Thanks
For me this mod is crashing on launch. I was cleaning app data.
front camera crashes app when on portrait mode
.
Works pretty werll despite being in a light polluted metropole
Thanks for sharing, i can confirm it works on 7 pro ob7.
Btw i shared the exact same apk on a telegram group for our device, i think there was a guy named "sir tavares", she insisted on that astro cant be done on op7pro, go buy pixel etc. Then she banned me when i shared the apk to the group ?
just be careful guys this type of people are toxic in your life beware of them and their group.btw i have screenshots of his language i can share if anyone wants to see it.more like "sir moron".

How are your switching between lenses? I can only access the main rear and front cameras.
Also, can confirm that Slow Motion and Selfie Portrait crash the app. (currently on OP7pro 10.3.0)

Hmm, it must be some combination of Bliss Rom/kernel that is enabling a different menu and front Portrait. I'm on stock 10.3.0.
I read in another thread that the GCam app needs to be a system app (in the system/priv-app folder) to enable access to the aux cameras. I tried moving the app folder there, but it just moved itself back after a reboot. I'm seeing if I can move the app some other way. Not sure if any of those Magisk modules from your screenshot would help with the app settings.
Edit: successfully converted the app to a system app using the App Systemizer Magisk module. Made no difference for the settings (still don't see options for aux cams). Oh well, must be a rom/kernel issue. Thanks for you help!

Not sure if any of those Magisk modules from your screenshot would help with the app settings.
Edit: successfully converted the app to a system app using the App Systemizer Magisk module. Made no difference for the settings (still don't see options for aux cams). Oh well, must be a rom/kernel issue. Thanks for you help!

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the Parrot version, only the Urnyx. The colors on the Parrot version are pretty bad, and the selfie cam won't work (3/4 cameras not working) so I've switched to Urnyx, and have the tele/zoom/selfie lenses all working now, but lost Astrophotography. Oh well, I give up.

For me, the colors on the PMGC 7.2.014 were terrible (initially pale, unsaturated; improved a bit with saturation settings) but I just couldn't get the white balance right.
I've attached 4 pics: Stock 10.3.0 cam (default), Stock 10.3.0 HDR forced on, Urnyx05 7.2.010 (1.6), and PMGC 7.2.014.
(Note: It seems you can get different settings based on your rom/kernel, so your results may vary.)
I preferred the Urnyx05 7.2.010 (HDR always on) slightly over Stock with HDR (though, depending on how you like your shadows, you might even prefer stock). The color accuracy between these 2 was the same. Stock without HDR didn't handle shadows well, and PMGC needs settings adjusted before it's functional.

The above review and attached screenshots refer to the main camera. I just realized you were asking about the aux cams. I compared the Stock HDR vs Urnyx Gcam HDR (I suspect the PMGC will have similar results as the Urnyx after adjusting the color/saturation settings):
Telephoto (Zoom): Stock starts "3x", Urnyx Gcam is labelled "2x" but is showing only a slightly wider field of view than stock. Stock appears to be zooming/cropping some of the native image. Color accuracy is about the same. Default settings in Gcam make the picture undersaturated (like PMGC), but given the Lib Patcher settings, contrast & saturation can be boosted to match stock. About a tie here once you play with the Gcam settings.
Wide: Once again, Stock cam crops/zooms into the native image more, so the Urnyx Gcam has a wider image. However, Urnyx Gcam makes no lens correction and the edges are pretty distorted. The colors on this lens showed the most difference, with the stock being slightly more saturated with a much better HDR result, while the Urnyx Gcam is lighter/less saturated (likely adjustable in GCam's additional settings), but not a great HDR output. Stock cam wins here, with the significantly better HDR and lens correction. (Note: attached images are cropped for privacy; upper-right ~75% of the image is shown)
