Gcam pixel 2 for moto g6 plus ? - Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
Is there a good working google camera pixel 2 apk for my new moto g6 plus?
The stock moto camera is not bad af all and i am happy with its pictures, both in day light and also in low light conditions. But a better camera app is always nice to have , so who knows more about this?

hello, to complete your question, I also find that the opening f1.8 is under exploit. we would have a great camera with the pro settings identical to the Huawei P10 or LG g5 / g6 for long exposure night shooting. 30 seconds to f1.8 for shooting milky way.
Possibility to change the original apk for unbridled aperture at 30s instead of 1/4s ?

The focal length f 1.7 simply captures more light. it is mechanical, to improve the photo performance should be able to get the free settings as a Huawei P10 or LG. fvcamera for example does not liberate the capabilities of the camera. it really should be able to get a mod, like what was done on the Xiaomi Redmi note 4 on XDA

Where did You find this and who did make the mod and apk?

Thanks very much for your link:good:. Can I trust the maker of it and is no virus in it? Do you know who modded this app?
How old is this app (maby updates needed) and is your smartphone also a g6 plus or a g6?
I gone test this app in low light and in daylight. What is in your opinion better with this app vs the (also very good) stock moto 2 app?
I

Picture failled.

Here some pics in very low light. The stock moto cam is much better vs the google camera from your download.

@Theike
how do you do to install gcam? on my moto g6 I have at the end of the installation an exclamation mark and the application message not install

On a g6 this doesn t work. Only at a 6 plus.

Ok thank
probably does not support Snapdragon 450 without mod

I did many tests between the gCam from your link and I do prefer the stock moto camera app more. Stock app is much better in low light and also gcam app pics in daylight are the same quelity or they are not as sharp and collorfull vs stock moto camera with hdr mode.

So , I am still searching for a top Pixel 2 app for the moto g6 plus.

I think the reason the gcam ports won't install on the g6 is because it's a 32bit ROM and gcam needs 64bit ROM to work as well as sd 450 support. It does support 64bit ROMs someone just has to build one and you would have to root.

Any info about Moto camera update?

Hello guys,
we all know about the new camera interface in moto g4 plus so the question is, does anybody have a clue if other models get camera update as well? I would really love the pro mode (former nokia lumia user) on my moto x play. I saw that those g4 plus have May security patch, do you think we will get it with next security update as well?
I flashed G4 camera pirt and is fantastic.

Thanks a lot for the tip. I have tried it and must say, it it a little bit better. Basically stock camera app with manual ISO settings - not like the G4 plus camera, but still better than nothing. I was talking with CEO of Lenovo here in Slovakia today and he told me that current motos (g3, play, style) will not get such camera update as g4 plus has most probably , so we have to be happy with this camera.

If you mean photo quality, then no I did not. But I compared those 2 apps and the one you gave me link to is basically stock app with manual ISO and white balance + few more settings. I wished for something like moto g4 plus camera with pro mode (manual focus and so on). I have also tried Snap Camera HDR from google store, it seems promising, but it crashed several times so I do not use it anymore
I wish someone one day will unlock manual settings!I saw in x style they did it!!!
I already got the latest version of the new moto camera, but I don't see Pro Mode in the menu.
How? Where?
there's a way to unlock hidden settings on stock camera? i've tried changing release-keys to test-keys but didnt work
till now I found only moto g camera to work

Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus - 6GB RAM, Triple Cameras

Hello! Xiaomi Mi5s Plus was launched recently and here are the features: 5.7-inch FHD Screen, Snapdragon 821 CPU, 6GB RAM, and Triple cameras with two rear cameras (source: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/xiaomi-mi5s-plus).
The dual rear cameras is a unique characteristic in which it features a 13MP colored camera and a 13MP black & white camera. I'm not sure how this would translate. But I'm certain the 6GB RAM and Snapdragon 821 processor would definitely provide an excellent performance.
Any thoughts on this smartphone?
If a decent developer community forms and this gets the ability to work on Verizon then I'm sold. But I have to hold out hopes that the Mi5 progress keeps advancing and can easily translate to this device.

Be careful, the mi5s plus cameras are old sony imx258 and not the new imx378 on the mi5s. Also the mi5s plus lacks of ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

Yah, they gimped the plus so much.. if you like larger phones, neither are good buys. If the plus had 2 x imx378 and ultrasonic, best phone in the world easily, by hardware.
The pixel phones use the imx378, I believe, and the pixel is rated best camera phone by DxO (take with grain of salt as they're apparently biased), but it still shows the prowess of the imx378.
Would the dual rear cameras make any difference in terms of picture quality? How can the additional black & white camera help?
Just got this phone today.
It is amazing fast, super high performance.
With default setup, it can have 4G RAM free
However, it only have chinese stock rom at this moment.

Well, sadly enough that the imx378's sensor is large and I assumed that is why the dual camera setup with that sensor is not achievable.
Same goes to OIS, most probably due to sensor size issues. (Pixel phones have no OIS thou)

From what I've read, but I'm not an expert, the B&W camera should be capable of capturing more light.
So combining images from both cameras it should capture better pictures on low light conditions.

So I guess it will result to much clearer pictures and lesser noise compared to the single color camera. That's nice. :good:

I have it and for me there's 2 things that I don't like. MIUI 8 , I'm a stock Android guy I hope somebody bring cm or something like this to this mobile and the other thing it's the camera, it's a camera for me from the beginning of 2015, that perform well in optimal light conditions and in low light even with the stereo option it's not very well.
Conclusion, I'm not a photo guy so there's no problem but I can't support miui even that it runs fast in this mobile. So until we have some development to this mobile I'm going to stay whit my axon 7.

hdr+ for our phone?

Hi everyone, it is possible to shot hdr+ photos on Moto G5 Plus?
I don't think the ISP on the 625 chip can handle HDR+. You could try to look into the mod made for the Nexus 5X, but it uses the 808 chip. Probably the best place to start.

Well of course not, that mod is designed for the Nexus 5X. I was saying that the mod may give you an idea of how to do it for the G5 Plus, but obviously that mod wouldn't work for our phone.
Yes, it is possible with custom ROM.

The APP CANNOT work on Moto G5 Plus with stock ROM, but runs well on foollowing devices:
ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom (ZE553KL) Snapdragon 625 + IMX 362 (same as Moto G5 Plus)
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon 625 + LineageOS 14.1 or Resurrection Remix OS or AOSP
Please share the HDR+ photo comparission if you succeed.

Amazon versions of the G5 Plus can apparently be rooted but they have to be on the initial firmware. Apparently updating the stock firmware to NPNS25.137-35-5 or above potentially breaks the ability to root.

When I checked the code camera 2 had some simulation convergence which required focus and auto Exposure to converge at the same time I think the ae thread holds up the process so focus works sometimes other times it's out of :fingers-crossed focus
The workaround was to modify the gcam code and break the AF trigger and set the focus to off this mode allows us Moto g5 users to lock focus at driver level at a specific distances i mostly shoot landscapes sometimes macro so I have a zaf config file to 1000cm settable distances are 7cm 10 14 20 30 40 50 60 120 hyperfocal 1000cm to switch files/config can be done via scripts it's quick I personally don't find it as a big deal as we gain hdr+ .
Also have a modified driver for low light that and paired with hdr+ low light is pretty darn good imo with modified lib not even the pixel could keep up.
Also about 64bit being required this apk is not from 4pda and is modified from the last 32bit gcam

Is this only for stock ROM or should also work on custom ROMs? Someone above mentioned that it crashes on LOS.
Saying "modified driver for low light", you mean your noise reduction/sharpening mod?

OnePlus 3T vs LeEco Le Pro 3 Camera comparison - Why there is huge difference?

Hi guys. I ordered yesterday X720 variant (4GB/32GB gold) from banggod under flash sale (cost me 192 USD) and I cannot wait it to be delivered to me..
So after that, I started some re-search, especially regarding the camera performance and I found out that Le Pro3 actually has ALMOST the same camera sensor like OnePlus 3T, apart from OIS?
OnePlus 3T has a 16MP Type 1/2.8" Sony IMX298 sensor with f/2.0 aperture lens which is the same (correct me if I am wrong) in Le Pro 3. But OnePlus 3T takes really good and better photos in any environment(good light or low light) if to be compared to LePro 3...
So, can we say that OIS and maybe better rom/software in OP3T makes the difference or what? Or LePro 3 has a potential to takes better photos with some custom ported roms or ported camera apps and come closer to quality of OP3T?
I am sorry, if this or a similar thing had already been talked before here. It will be great to hear your comments and opinions.
Have a nice day/week for all!
If you are running it on Stock ROM, try Google Camera 2.7.10 via https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-7-010-release/
Le Pro 3 has even better IQ than iPhone 7 just so you know. =D
If custom ROM and especially nougat-based, there is a patched version of latest Google Camera with HDR+ enabled.
When it comes to mobile cameras, it's almost always the imaging processing that makes or breaks a photo quality.
OP3/T does share same hardware specs of the camera lens and sensors with the exception of OIS, but it is the software itself that determines how an image is to be processed.
Samsung, LG, HTC, Apple basically spends a lot of their R&D budget on the imaging software, because camera qualities are synonymous with quality of the phone.
OnePlus did spend fairly large amount of development into their camera software, and it is very good. OiS helps, of course, but image quality itself is determined via software.
When you're using Google Camera, the game changes, however. Since Google Camera does not use OiS even if you have it, it won't be an advantage with OP3/T. Theoretically, the image when using two identical camera app would be very very similar.

Installing Google pixel 2 camera software and algorithm in Moto G5 plus

Hi all,
The Moto G5 plus has a rear camera of f/1.7 with 12 MP where as the best camera of Google pixel 2 has f/1.8 with 12.2 MP.
My question is it possible to install the Google AI software, algorithm and coding in the Moto G5 plus? If possible, how? If not, then, what will be the best camera app to use in Moto G5 plus? As the specs are pretty same but the coding, algorithm and software difference is a big deal. May be with the same camera of the G5 plus will take excellent photos using the Google AI software.
May be Im asking question like a fool but because I wanted too know.
In the comparing videos and reviews between Pixel 2 and galaxy S9 I have understood that the google camera software is a special one. With the google algorithm a smartphone may not need two cameras and lower aperture too. The lower aperture of f/2.4 with 8 MB of Pixel 2 does not stop taking best shots than any other phones because of the software. Where as the Moto G5 front camera has f/2.2 with 5 MB. But there are other factors like shutter speed, dual pixel etc. but I want to install the camera app in Pixel into G5 plus.
Can not post the links of specs as Im as new member.
Just install pixel ported camera app by arnova to get better photos nd portrait photos from your moto g5 plus.
First you need to flash a 64bit rom
Because google camera doesnt work on 32bit
And install google camera the ported one by arnova or other version.
