[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.

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
cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v1
Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...Cam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v1.apk
Development record Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Which is based on @scrubber 's work.
This camera is the best install and forget app yet for Nokia 6
Front and back cameras both have portrait mode working.
I will attach the camera results ASAP.

In this version GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta2 the problem does not exist?
By your answer I could correct on the next version

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?

For photos? I am not sure. My LG V30 supports 16mp with the mod I made so that's weird.

Working BSG Pixel 3 GCAM No Crash

BEST CAMERA I TESTED [15-01-2018]
If you want to shot using pixel 3 camera, you may need this mod
BSG Pixel 3 GCAM Mod : MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a
Download on celsoazevedo (all link at bottom post)
I tested it. Just enable Buffer fix and disable Google photos in setting, it can shot 10 photos HDR continuously (I don't test above it) but there will be a pause each shot (about half second). When I open gallery it showing 7 photos queued, 2 photos processing, and 1 photos processed. Whenever it crash, HDR still process, so you won't lose your photo. But until now I never rarely crash. Don't ask front camera, it won't work on pixel 3 camera, take pixel 2 camera for front camera.
This is my setting, and it's work perfect:
I install camera patch v2
Motion: for smooth off, for enable top shot auto/on
Video res: 4K (cannot record on low light)
Stabilization: on
Advanced: dirty lens off, HEVC on, HDR control off, RAW off
BSG MOD setting:
HDR+ Parameter: min 2 max 7 (change whatever you like, I use 2 for faster process)
Photos: disable
Libs: Savitar
FIX: Motion on, Buffer fix on, viewfinder motion and AE on
How to get top shot:
Install latest daydream and Google photos (daydream) from apkmirror. If you cannot update app, uninstall photos update first.
From here, your motion photos will get top shot selection by go to picture info

Front cam doesn't work mates,

Hello OP, I tried V2 patch. It is terrible. When I chose to capture video, i feel like I'm zooming in. I have to revert back to V1 patch. Even with V1, I can have front camera work in gcam 5.1 and night sight in G cam 6.1

Is 48 MP camera supported ?

There's no 48mp option in this app.

thank you sir
but the portrait isn't making use of the second lens (depth lens) on Realme X
I tried taking portrait while covering the second lens and without covering, and the results were the same... though they were great

I am a casual photographer and I always find BSG Gcam to be superior to other ports. Pictures come out more detailed, sharp and crisp. I am not sure about panorama, wide angle, 10X 50X 100X zoom, moonlight sunlight etc as I do not use them. The only port which comes close to BSG is Arnova's gcam. But unfortunately, it's not available for Realme X.
P.S. Do you know all GCAM ports are based on BSG. He was the guy who started it all.

Question Is there any GCam port for Poco X4 Pro

I did some shots with the Poco x4 pro stock camera but the quality is not quite good because the pictures are like blurred with no focus even if you do manual.
Is there any way to install the GCam with good quality for this device?
Thanks in advance

Hi. I don't want to start a new topic, but it's about the camera, so I'm writing here. I often shoot at night for a long exposure. In the basic camera application in PRO mode, you can choose UW or WIDE optics. When using WIDE, however, only 15s exposure can be selected, 30s exposure is not possible. In UW mode, the exposure length can be set to 30s, but the night quality of UW against WIDE is terrible, practically unusable for me. Don't you know why it is not possible to choose a 30s exposure on this phone in PRO mode for WIDE optics? I looked at friends' other Poco and Xiaomi phones and the option is normally there. Thanks for the reply.
