ignore the weird W's, cant paste urls in this thread.
scroll down and look for "cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.6 (cstark27, 2018-02-24, changelog)" version this one works best with essential phone. So far everything works EXCEPT slow motion. hopefully it will get updated to do so.

So your slowmotion works? I mean, if you installed a custom rom, maybe... But the media profiles can't be edited without root.

Sorry what i meant was everything on the gcam works perfectly except slow motion. The image quality is by far better on the gcam than the stock camera. im not root or on any custom rom

You should go root with magisk, GCAM is much more enjoyable that way.

Motion photos
Do any of the versions have working Motion Photos? I've got the one you recommended, but there is no Motion Photos on it.

Set 2017 pixel hdr zsl as config type, open dev settings, toggle camera.enable.micro, force close and reopen gcam

Arnovas latest version works wel with motion photo. I believe its Arnova's v7beat9. The name is highlighted in red.

Using Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 on Oxygen OS 4.0(N) OTA

I was hoping for improved camera software with the new Oxygen OS 4.0(N) OTA release. To my chagrin there seemed to be no improvements made, so as an alternative I downloaded and installed Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 (arm64 version for Android 7.1+)
Get it by clicking on the link below:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...amera-4-2-035-141213305-android-apk-download/
The Google camera app AI appears to be better at determining optimal settings on the fly. The in app photo sphere, panorama, and lens blur features are nice additions too.
I found that if you have the time to make HQ, HDR, and manual mode adjustments, you can still get better pictures with the stock Oneplus version 1.4.0 camera app than the Google Camera app. but most users simply want to point and shoot.
When I give my 3T to a novice to take a picture, or when I need to to take a quick picture in a pinch, I find the Google Camera app takes better photos.
The app works beautifully, aside from the fact I can't get it to open using the button shortcuts after setting it as the default camera app.
Download the Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 (arm64 version for Android 7.1+) app, and tell me what you think.
If you encounter button launch problem too, let me know, or come up with a solution.
When I try to install on my OP3T with OS 4.0 I get an error stating there was a problem parsing package. Installed Google Camera 4.1 without issue though.

Only tried with double tap to the power button and it works. Still rather sad though because no Auto-HDR+ like I was hoping. Still adjusting to the non-nexus life since my Nexus 5x bricked. (^_^)
How were you able to launch 4.2 ?it requires android 7.1 ! (we only have 7.0)
use this
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...06-126161292-2-android-apk-download/download/
You can unpack an APK file change the min version required and repack and install the APK. Although, I'm assuming that the min version requires 7.1 for a valid reason such as a required framework/library or something...
or here for 4.2 version 7.0

True true. I saw a notification that someone quoted me and replied to it. Long story short, I replied to the wrong one so I didn't mean to reply to you.
Sorry!
But yeah HDR+ doesn't work on the Google camera.

It's such a shame, the camera lets this phone down quite a bit. Good HDR would help a lot.

Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 is working, but the spherical photo shoots without focusing.
I like using the double-tap power button to start the camera. Did anyone get the Google camera to open this way? Which version is recommended for OOS 4.1?
The google camera doesn't even have an option to mirror images taken with the selfie cam

[Q] Camera app for custom ROM | Slow-mo & Portrait

Hello guys,
I know, there are loads of threads about cameras, but I couldn't find one which gave a perfectly working replacement.
Recently I tried switching to a custom ROM: AOSPExtended. The ROM itself is amazing, however its camera is not...
Portrait mode is missing and the entire video mode is crashing.
Is it possible to have the ORIGINAL AOSP camera somehow on my ROM? It has everything I love, including portrait
and slow-mode, which I've never seen in any other app.
If it's not possible, can anyone point me an alternative where both slow-motion and portrait are working?
For example this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-google-camera-root-magisk-enable-t3747585
Is quite nice, but as soon as I try slow-motion it crashes everytime. Is there any solution or alternative?
Thank you!
There's a port of the stock camera from the stock ROM but it uses telephoto for slow motion and it looks disgusting. For the portrait though I'm on Bootleggers ROM and portrait works just fine. And for gcam slow motion, there's no way of getting it right now on Oreo besides buying the Pixel

@ProchyGaming, please, do not quote the whole post.
Also, GCam mod works on AOSPExtended.
Make sure your build.prop has been edited correctly, or you have installed an appropriate module for enabling Camera2Api.
I am using the .APK file from celsoazevado.

That's true. No one has been able to successfully port SlowMotion to Mi A1 ever since the release of GCam.

Any Moto camera app for Oreo 32bit?

I installed RR Oreo custom ROM 32bit. I was wondering, If there was any ported camera either stock G4, Google or from any other device?
I did find a ported Google Camera for Oreo, but it was for the 64bit only. I am still searching, just asking to see if there are none.... So I don't waste time searching.
I found two cameras on the play store. One is Camera MX and the other is called Footej. Any one have an opinion on which works best on the Moto G4?

You can try with ported Nokia Camera https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/themes/nokia-pro-camera-port-nokia-android-t3799087
Works good on some of my devices (32 and 64 bits)
Footej works so good for me

Cameringo camera starts as if it was zoomed in. It doesn't capture a wider area. I tried Cameringo, Camera MX and Footej and the capture is already closer to the the objects. As if it was already pre-zoomed and with the Moto Camera or the default you can get more in the picture. The only one that doesnt start zoomed in is Open Camera.

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.
https://potterroms.me/Mods/Camera/GCam_Nougat_3.2.045.apk
Screen attached of the settings to disable front HDR.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
portrait mode works?

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).

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.

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.

Which gcam you use that supports Night Sight ? (Nokia 6 2017)(TA-1033)

I've noticed that night works much better when Pixel AWB is turned on from the settings. However, please note that the video recording isn't working for me with this version. This one is mainly for Night Sight and Super res zoom etc.
