Best settings for Google Camera ported (by Arnova8G2) - Xiaomi Mi 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi guys,
first, I'd like to thank to @Arnova8G2 for his development and porting of Google camera. Due to his effort, many of our phones take much better photos than with stock camera. If you don't know what the app is, please visit this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177
His app has many different settings and I wonder what are the best setting available. If we can find the best settings, we all can take better photos!
I made a small form which I please you to fill (takes aprox. one minute): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...ntry.560585008=95%+(default)&entry.1874216323
Thank you everyone!
So please fill:
Device you own (I know this is Mi5 section, but still, GCam is used by many others)
Which ROM you run and version of it (Lineage 15.1, 14.1 etc.)
Settings you use
Sample photos (at day, at night, portrait mode, video ...)
Results
Or just share it down here.

Hey ! Nice initiative.
I'm running on Mi5 with Google PixelMod mod by Arnova8G2 5.1.018-v1 . Settings :
-Model : Nexus 6P
-Config : Nexus 6P
-Option HDR+ On
-HDR+ Parameters : super high
-ZSL On

This is a great idea, let's set up a spreadsheet where people can input their settings, so we can easily get an overview of what's in use?
Which fields to you think are most important? (don't want to over complicate things)

Well, probably device, ROM and versionof it, version of app and settings: Config camera HDR+, Model, HDR+ parameters, Advanced. Plus some sample photos.
IDK what else?
And I don't know how to set up spreadsheet on XDA ...

For sample photos we should only take on comparison photos (same user, motif, different settings) if possible. Would be easier to spot the differences. On the spreadsheet, we should also classify the most used settings as separate, named groups, to minimize clutter and find the best setup.

Hey mates, I'm on viper (nougat) with gcam v5. Is there any fix to the front camera's upside down problem? Do i need to downgrade the version or even maybe use another cam app for selfie? Cheers

Yes it is!
Go and edit this file: /system/etc/camera/msm8996_camera.xml
You can use ES_File Explorer built in Note editor.
Look for:
<Position>FRONT</Position>
<MountAngle>360</MountAngle>
and change the "360" for "270". There's 2 times on this file.
It will be:
<Position>FRONT</Position>
<MountAngle>270</MountAngle>
Now save and reboot the phone.

Yep thats it. the file's already modified in new version (360->270), but the problem persist.
Maybe we just have sit for a while until the next version released. Perhaps

stable rom its working properly

Was attempting to match some of the results in this thread, but by changing GCam versions I've lost my front camera HDR in LOS 14.1
Any recommendations for me? Configured for Nexus 6 Auto/Nexus 6P/High/95% JPEG. Tried the following:
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 - Previously functional, but now no front camera HDR+ and front cam portrait is upside down.
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.6 - Same as 1.5
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.7 - Not a fan of manual focus, same issue
Am I missing something? Always clearing data for version install, and stopping/starting app for each setting change.
Solved: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6 on LOS 14.1 has all my HDR+, all portrait, and no more upside-down photos. Other than the directories created for each photo; I can't figure out how to disable that.

Has anyone gotten the new Google Camera with HDR+ to work on this phone?

Tried installing this one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/themes/google-camera-hdr-t3656174
I'm on Razziel's Nougat RR. The app FC's immediately. Doesn't run for me.
I think HDR+ it's working only on newest Snapdragon SoCs like 820, 821 etc...

Take a look at the link in my post above. They claim it works for "almost all Nougat devices".

There aren't ROMs based on Nougat with API2 support, if you use API2 for camera video recording can't work anymore.
thanks N1ck474, then no HDR+ camera for use then
Try Footej Camera pro. You can search the apk
Ah, yes. I forgot about the api2 issue. This can certainly be fixed in a future rom update, though, can't it?

Edit we use only hal3 so hdr+ won't be working untill we find a way to fix camera2api
Its work for me, if you use magisk, there is module for camera2api.
I got it to work, just download the Google camera (Snapdragon 600+) apk from this link and install it.
Then, edit or add this to the build prop ( I used ES file explorer) - persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Photos are really good. I leave it on auto HDR+

Experienced the instant FC and editing build.prop fixed that issue. Next issue is recording with back camera makes the app FC. Front facing camera works fine for recording though. When using any other camera app the reverse is true, front camera FC's and back camera works.
I'm on LOS 28/8. Stock camera is bugged so I will continue to use Bacon Camera until a fix comes around.

I got it working on karevns LineageOS 14.1 ROM. But had to edit build.prop to enable HAL3, just a quick fix, but requires root (use MagiskSU for this)

I've installed the camera port as well, the recent one with raw support. But I cannot find raw captured image(setting enabled under experimental option). The hdr+ also seems to have no effect on image quality. I've enabled HAL3.
Rom: RR 5.8.5 by hrafninn, with default kernel.
Edit: I've downloaded another version (GCamera Pro 3.3b) from main thread link, and it works as expected, auto hdr+ and raw support, with hal3 enabled. Some prescribed modifications had to be done on settings.
Settings to modify:
Max Settings:
Buffers size: 28
Total imagereader image count: 52
hdr+ burst frame count: 60
Calculation imagereader image count: PixelXL
hrd+ imagereader image count: 10

For me the Slow Motion Tab causes the camera to crash, I think due to hardware limitations, this happens in any port of the camera app. Also in the port mentioned in the beginning of this thread video recording in normal mode causes a crash.

I just realized that all Google Camera App ports are crashing if trying to record video for me. Seems like a bug special to my ROM (karevns LOS 14.1)

Camera crashes for video recording on mine too. Additionally, I can't capture panorama or 360 photos with hal3 enabled. Disabling it allows me to capture 360 photo with street view, but gcam crashes.

Oneplus Camera (from OP6T) [v3.0.16]

Oneplus Camera App from Oneplus 6T.
Disclaimer - I'm just merely sharing. APKs I post mostly I extract from OOS roms of Oneplus Devices. I have nothing to do with the updates and development of the apks.
Latest (v3.016) - Check Post #3 for links.
**Please do read Post #3 fully before asking any questions**
Anyone knows how to enable promode? there's promode on the oneplus 5
Oneplus Camera (3.0.16) -
Camera [from OP6T OB4] - https://goo.gl/JK4Rg1 (3.0.16)
Noted Changes - APKs from latest Beta of OP6T.
Regarding HDR :-
Guys, I tested almost all the old apks to find ones that have hdr working and post'em here. But it seems like this isn't an apk issue. Because all the old apks I tried had the same hdr always off issue. I think this has to do with our Roms. (I use AEX5.5 and have been on AEX from nougat days.)
I even tried editing the camera apk to find if it calls any specific package for hdr function that i can import from OOS dumps. Doesn't seems so.
If anyone using last builds of nougat roms or very early builds of Oreo, please try the latest apks and let us know if hdr works.
Common Note :-
I don't develop this app, just sharing with you guys. So I can help you with only basic solutions and cannot do app level corrections.
Since this camera app is developed with only the oneplus devices in mind, many features might not work on other devices. Some of these features that work on 5T don't even work on 3T. No one can help it. All we can do is wish for an update to solve the issues. I too am wondering why the HDR mode suddenly vanished in the latest versions but maybe updates will solve it.
There will be limitations in Pro mode like shutter speed not changing beyond a point and all. This is due to the fact that our device has no Level_3 hardware support of Camera2Api. And also there are physical limitations due to our Camera sensor being a less capable one than oneplus 3/3t 5/5t cameras. So don't expect a solution to such limitations in updates.
I don't use OP gallery app. Don't ask me any questions regarding that app. If asked, the only solution I can give is, better move to Quickpic app.
My actual main camera app (for now) is Gcam Mod by arnova. I use OP camera rarely for the Pro mode & Video.
Any other working apps from Oxygen OS you guys would like me to post here along with the camera app please let me know. I download the whole roms for just 2 apks and then delete the roms. I have no trouble posting a couple more apks alongside the camera and gallery. Again, i can only extract and share the apps, cannot make them work with our device.
Cheerios :good:

Notable Improvements in Stability
Better Auto-focusing
A Bit better HDR
Minor Improvements in Video Colors (depends on lighting, i tried in same lighting as I tested the previous version)
UI Improvements
This version is extracted from Oreo version of OOS so will be stable on our Oreo Roms too. All these differences from previous version noted on AEX4.6 Nougat. Any Oreo users please do post the differences you observe in your Rom(s) with this version.

Resolution is adjusted when you change the Aspect Ratio on top. Jpeg Quality is default and I guess at 85%. That is not changeable. Oneplus Camera app doesn't have the most controls but is the best HDR (fast but good) and also the most stable amongst all other phones's camera app i tested. Also if you switch to AEX5.0 you get the Pro mode from OP3/3T/5/5T working on our phone. If you want maximum controls try Snapcamera.

We are sick and tired of testing those apks and they do not work.

What settings do you use for hdr+?
I think BSG can collect this bounty now.
New release: MGC_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_MI6_1.0-beta seems to be working perfectly on Oreo (Atomic OS 8.1), auto focus and touch focus works without toggling anything.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...C_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_MI6_1.0-beta.apk
I have yet to find the best settings, but after 10 minutes of testing Model Nexus 6 + and Config Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto seems to work great. Try Nexus 5X and Config Auto too.
Edit: Great news! After several confirmations we can definitely say that this version has fully working HDR+ with touch and autofocus on AOSP and MIUI, Nougat and Oreo. Big thanks to BSG!!
Edit 2: After some testing, for me Nexus 5X + Auto works best.

Hi, do you still on atomic OS?
Can you extract snap camera apk from atomic and share it with me brother?

32bit Gcam Mod

For those on stock ROM, there is a modded Gcam that works on 32bit. This Gcam does not have all features, only HDR+ on rear Camera, front HDR is borked so needs disabling in the settings if front camera is used. You also need camera2 api support by adding this to your build.prop, "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
The camera was made for Nougat but works on stock Oreo also.

No, as I said in OP, only HDR+ on main camera. Most features definitely need 64bit rom.
I have been informed that by changing the default black level for front camera to 16, HDR+ works. I can confirm this is true. Thanks to XDA user capedukewuhaha for pointing that out.
Also I can confirm that this 32bit mod actually works better than all the 64bit GCams I have tried on custom ROMs. I am on linage now and this camera works best.
for me, this port doesn't work... i am on moto z2 play stock oreo 8.0 October update
edit: oh, now i see... must be rooted, nah...
i am willing to root because of this moded app... would like to know if there are any improvements in pic quality, some examples? thanks in advance

There is hdr+ and less image processing. Stock camera is better for video, I use both cameras when on stock. If the extra hdr is not important I'd stick with stock since you can use Snapseed to get a similar hdr+ effect on photos. I have something else in testing that reduces the over image processing of stock camera which I will post if it works on Z2P(originally it is for Moto G5 plus, both same hardware almost).

You need root. Add the camera2 api line to your build.prop.
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

For those on stock ROM, there is a modded Gcam that works on 32bit. This Gcam does not have all features, only HDR+ on rear Camera, front HDR is borked so needs disabling in the settings if front camera is used. You also need camera2 api support by adding this to your build.prop, "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".

Settings GCam HDR+ 3.2.045.
Model and both cameras - choose Nexus6P.
HDR+ parameters - Super High.
What the front-facing camera would work in HDR+ - Black Level Value(Front) to choose - 17 (but will work both with 16 and with 15 if it is necessary).
What the back camera would record of video - in Resolution & quality - Enable video stabilization(switch off).
With these settings works all but slow motion.

It was only available on the linked site, I don't use this camera so don't have it. I use Resurrection Remix which uses 64bit camera.

MGC_3.2.045_FINAL_3.1.apk
Anyway, this app is very buggy, if u want to take good shots with it set model to Nexus 6p and auto exposure correction to *2 or Min.ISO.
Remember API2 must be enabled (on stock rom).
But, you won't get amazing pictures with this apk (our sensor, Sony IMX362, is capable of a lot more in terms of quality), HDR+ Algorithm is not very good.
I fixed focus of a bunch of gcams for our device, will post here later maybe (this subforum is dead). You will need 64 bit OS.

Astrophotography on Gcam

Is astrophotography working on RN7 on Gcam?
I downloaded latest version of Gcam and setup all in developers options and still I cant get astrophotography..
I read somewhere that this is not available on MiUI..
I've unlocked and installed a custom rom (Atom OS, Android 10 based), thinking that being on Android 9 based MiUi would be the problem for not having Astrophotography mod working on my RN 7 - unfortunately, even on the new rom, this is not working.
Astrophotography doesn't work either for me with RedMi Note 7, MIUI 10.3.6.0 and Google Camera v7.0.009 V13 by Bulkin043 aka InnocentParrot.
I tried to put the phone on the table, I set the night sight, the 3 second self-timer, the focus on infinity, as seen on some YouTube videos, but the 1 minute and 6 second shot does not happen.
What am I doing wrong? Or what should i do to enable it?
Astrophotography it's pretty new I think it's not available for our model yet.
Astrophotography works in default miui cam. I managed to click some decent pictures.

It works good with miui manual cam settings.
Same with Redmi 4x even the camera2api is already level 3.
Infinity focus, 3 second timer already set.
Can hoy share a photo with that mode?. Don't ver confused with the regular night mode?.
Thanks

You can see a comparison near the end of this youtube video: vOPA7Xz8fTk
(sorry but I'm not yet allowed to post an outside url)
Or in other similar videos searching for google camera astrophotograpy.

I don't think so, because the length of the shot in normal night sight mode is about 6 seconds while in astrophotography the shot is about 1 minute and 6 seconds long.
very nice, but I think it´s not working for me on the official global miui. It may be related to a firmware on the phone.
