Google Camera 4.1.006.135988111 version or lower, its disappointing we cannot use latest feature on samsung galaxy a9, m also confused why samsung didn't enable camera 2 api, were like new company xioami is enabling on there phone, like poco f1...one more thing, samsung should give pro and night mode on this phone also, becoz this phone is special for camera ( Quad camera ), If samsung can't give this feature on this phone then its not worth.

GCam 7 for Samsung A9 2018
hello pls can you help me. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 updated with android 10 from work. I want to root it just so that I can use Google camera but in 2 years be able to unroot it to give back to office. What exactly do I need to do to (1) backup current stock firmware and (2) get GCam 7.3 working on a Samsung A9?

My device(SM-A920F) have been root and I enable the camera 2 API,but I still can't use the gcam when I open it, it's black screen then crash.
How to do to let Google camera attached the lens?

How to use google camera hdr+ on zenfone 3 max(ZC553KL) ?

Hi,
My zenfone 3 max(zc553kl) is unlocked and rooted. I edited build.prop to add "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" .
I tried to install many apk. But google camera doesn't work on zf3 max as well.
Anyone know how to use google camera on zf3 max? Or s430/zf3 max(zc553kl) doesn't support google camera? Thanks.
Please excuse my poor English.
There are many ported versions in xda forums but only few work with hdr mode activated. One might wonder and expect it works better in low light and indoor situation than stock camera, it does not.

In front and back camera for portrait mode

Nokia 6 and moto g4 plus both are work in stock android
In Nokia 6 Google camera to possible portrait mode
But moto g4 plus why can't install
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/themes/google-camera-hdr-portrait-selfie-t3733577
Please dev work camera
Portrait mode not only needs software but also a hardware support! The processor support is needed.. The processors used might be different! Also, I haven't seen the ROM of Nokia 6... For portrait mode the ROM needs to be 64bit.
Google camera's portrait mode is made for pixel 2..look at its specs and the processor and the camera hardware it carries.
I don't know about Nokia 6's config so won't be able to comment exactly the difference.
But please don't ask devs to do something. They provide stuff for free and they know what to provide when! They do it in their free time hence the delay. We all have out lives apart from this forum!
You can use lens blurr in google camera for now it works in the same way.

It also doesn't help that on oreo, we don't have a stable camera.
Remember that even if the phone had the same CPU the implementation could be completely different and would require separate methods of porting.
The Pixel 2 features of GCAM is designed to be only used on the, guess what? The Pixel 2. The community has ported over the features to work on many devices but it is not designed to run on all devices.
We might even have to wait for the official release of stock oreo, please be patient and see.
Agreed with the above post. as far as i know, Gcam works effectively on 64 bit ROM with camera2api and Oreo. We still do not have official Oreo neither do we have oreo camera drivers to support it.
Why Google camera is working on Moto g5 plus and not on Moto g4 plus since both have ported 64bit ROM

I can tell you this for sure, i spent last 2 days trying to get a fully functional Gcam to work on my Note 2 and there is no way to do it. Must have tried 3 dozens different Gcams....and a dozen different hacks on how to get them to work. Some work with no HDR some work only back cam some with no Video Camera etc etc.
I'm running Pixel Experience (8.1) Rom that comes with a basic Gcam with no HDR that is the closest to a working cam. I decided to opt for Open Camera that is free fully functional (HDR, DRO and more) video rec works, front and back work and it supports Cam2Api for extra functions. I'd like to get a fully functional Gcam but as far as i know is not possible...yet at least.
The question *WHY* is a very good starting point.
There are almost no phones sharing the quirky SONY imx318 sensor. Just a handful, rather unpopular phones. Which means no development on the gcam, etc.
However, knowing that the Note 2 has a SD821 SoC and a SONY IMX sensor, porting *should* be possible.
(Google Pixel is running an SD821 and a (far superior) SONY IMX sensor)
I forgot to mention that I have Pixel Experience installed and have removed the preinstalled camera first with help of system app uninstaller , before installing the camera. HDR+ works so far.

Wrong thread dude
I just bought a samsung galaxy s7 edge model SM-G935T honestly I'm disappointed at the photo level. I was expecting a lot better especially on this model I have a sony imx 260 sensor, which is weird with the Chinese smartphone leeco pro 3 which a sensor sony imx 298 of lower quality. I can produce better shots on leeco X722 thanks to the Google camera. Is there a way to install the gcam on samsung so you can get the most out of it?

Search is your friend, there are working gcam ports for this phone, albeit it can't store pics to external storage without jumping through a couple of hoops.

Yes, I am aware that there are certainly some versions of gcam function for the Samsung SM-G935T especially that I am very connected in this area with leeco pro 3 which accepts almost all versions of this list thank you for having me answered.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
It's good, I found version 6.1021 works best on the Samsung SM-G935T under oreo and bug least compared to others. Exactly it is the one I use with my leeco pro 3 but against the battery it is empty at a speed unbelievable. On leeco the application is better optimized, it consumes less battery. As you can see I took some pictures with the application.

https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d_fu24-01g.apk
There is another version that works very well on my samsung SM-G935T snapdragon 820 without crash compared to others is this version or there is precisely Yuv_420_888 which must be selected in the settings for no bug.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v6slidertest-san1ty.apk
On this version the viewfinder and much faster.
I have two versions that works well on our smartphone under snapdragon 820 with the rom oreo even without being rooted.
There are several, but I chose the most recent one.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a_xcam_0.apk
Do the tests and look at the one that brings you the most satisfaction.
This is a new version of gcam that is rich in option and works well under oreo but it does not crash.
install this one first
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a_xcam_0.apk
and over install this new version and create a gcam folder with the file config.xml

I explained in my previous comment to be able to install the second application without crash and that it is very rich in option, it must first install the first application is configure it by activating the hdr +
and after finishing the installation of the first, especially do not uninstall it that is the same developer of the second, and install the second that will take over the first.
the goal is that the second application installs without any crash.
I am getting the same green tint all over the picture specialy front cam.
Please help me
For selfies install this app in addition
do not uninstall the other.
because I tried all the parameters, but unfortunately, the green tint remains present.
it works best for selfies without the drawbacks of red or green hue.

sorry, but you have a serious problem, I notice that you do not read enough previous messages that I posted or explain that these versions are compatible only for the Samsung Galaxy S7 under the Snapdragon 820 processor, and I do not do that at chance, at first I try first on my smartphone Leeco pro 3 because with this phone all versions are compatible, but the objective is to compare the quality of the images, if it is of good quality I made the try on my Samsung smartphone and if it works, I share it with others in the community who have the same processor as mine because most have tested and posted versions it works on their smartphone, but the problem is that you rush without reading what I posted before, if you resume all my previous messages that I put online or I answer a person who asks me if it works under the Exynos processor? I answer that it does not work because it is not the same processor.
Funny people go crazy for no reason.. For your record, I have spent lot of time searching and trying. And. By the way, the mentioned comboo WORK on my Exynos S7.

Please forgive me for my previous message that I misinterpreted but soon I intend to get the same phone as the samsung SM-G930F is I will do google camera tests thank you
Listen, I'll give you an example on this version
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog324/
which is in my opinion the best GCAM of all the cameras that I tested on my Leeco pro 3, but unfortunately, does not work on the Samsung Galaxy S7 under Oreo because for me, it's the best version of all GCAM that I tested is particularly the most complete in the viewfinder attaches to perfection and works perfectly on my Leeco pro 3 that it is for selfies or tip top of the rear camera, I wanted to run it on the Samsung but alas the crash of the device.

API2 will be available for mi a2

Miui 10 got update with new camera APIs which is gonna be there for all. It is available in China now. I am sure Mi A2 will also get it in coming updates... Then we can enjoy the camera of This phone properly... Please correct if this news is wrong.
MIUI and Google One do not have anything in common, so I can not connect your expectation as relevant.
Incorrect
Right, well I don't know what your situation is with modding your Mi A2, but I discovered that after you've unlocked the bootloader & installed Magisk Root that if the flash this "MiUi Camera All Features" Magisk Module from another thread, this enables The Full level 3 Camera 2 API:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/themes/miui-camara-features-magisk-t3841269
This is a fantastic upgrade over the stock MiA2 camera app in itself. Xiaomi basically gimped the camera's features, as to not upstage much more expensive Xiaomi phones and this releases them such as 4k30p front video recording and enhanced HDR Pro Modes which work brilliantly.
However, the upshot of flashing this enabling Camera 2 is amazing for this reason. Just today I've been testing @Arnova8G2 's port of the Pixel 3 app and the HDR+ Enhanced is next level stuff. Portrait mode, front & back ,is also working fine. RAW file capture is also working. Gonna test out Nightsight tonight. You get a green screen through the viewfinder, but the shots do actually work. Only thing not working for me is slow mo....

Google said that the camera2api is coming with Android Pie. It is not present in the current beta but it might be later.

If you're referring to the 'Camera 2 API Will be enabled in android Pie CONFIRMED' thread, then the following is exactly what was said:
"Starting with Android Pie, newly launching devices are expected to have newer camera HAL versions, which will enable better support for camera2."
Does that include the A2? Because it's not a "newly launching device". And the statement implies, imho, it will be newly launching devices that launch with Pie.
That's not the A2. I wish they would enable it. but that statement above is a reach to believe "Google said that the camera2api is coming with Android Pie". they said newly launching, not upgraded to.
If Xiaomi giving camera 2 API in miui 10 update to its all phone then there is no reason that Xiaomi will not give it to mi A2. I am pretty confident that with the demand and competition Xiaomi will provide this feature to this device shortly.
Don't create a thread affirming something that you have no proof of.
Google is expanding their camera development, and that is the one of the main parts and improvements of PIE it self, to support multi cameras for example, you can read all about that on the official Android PIE page, but that doesn't mean nothing for us, unfortunately.
"Multi-camera support and camera updates
On devices running Android 9, you can access streams simultaneously from two or more physical cameras. On devices with either dual-front or dual-back cameras, you can create innovative features not possible with just a single camera, such as seamless zoom, bokeh, and stereo vision. The API also lets you call a logical or fused camera stream that automatically switches between two or more cameras.
Other improvements in camera include additional Session parameters that help to reduce delays during initial capture, and surface sharing that lets camera clients handle various use cases without the need to stop and start camera streaming. We've also added APIs for display-based flash support and access to OIS timestamps for app-level image stabilization and special effects.
In Android 9 the multi-camera API supports monochrome cameras for devices with FULL or LIMITED capability. Monochrome output is achieved via the YUV_420_888 format with Y as grayscale, U (Cb) as 128, and V (Cr) as 128.
Android 9 also enables support for external USB/UVC cameras on supported devices."

I have Mi A1, they haven't even provided the new camera app of MIUI 10, you are expecting too much, otherwise disappointment is sure.
Guys, by my post I am not affirming anything. I read some news about camera 2 API being enabled by Xiaomi for all its phones by miui 10 update and that has already been released for China.. so I am just trying to say that the probability of getting camera 2 API for this phone are very high now. In android pie or in coming updates we could get it. So no affirmative post but high probability post. Thanks

He's right. I saw the thread too in mi community. If Xiaomi enables c2api to Miui devices there's no doubt that they won't enable it to Mi a2
