Worth using the Gcam vs stock Moto camera?

With a hell lot of beta versions of gcam being developed daily of different variants, I just wanted to know if it's really worth a shot flashing a custom Oreo ROM and using those Gcams, instead of stock Moto Camera. What are your thoughts?

For me, not really, instead i use snap camera hdr , that app give me better results than gcam but gcam has a faster hdr algorithm that can be essencial for fast moving objects for example, or fast pictures snap. The autofocus of gcam never worked that well for me, but the portrait worked very well. On custom rom you lose slowmotion.

Dude don't listen to this duncan dude. gcam is amazing now. focus is just as good as stock camera and the picture quality is miles ahead. even portrait mode works perfectly fine. the only thing is front portrait is noisy on most camera apps. but the results from back camera are comparable to iphone 7 and s8 and pixel.(seriously- cuz g5 plus uses same sensor as pixel 2)

That sounds great, my sister has a G5 Plus and she always complains about the camera, can you tell me which rom/gcam version can give you those results?
Thanks.

RR ROM or validus or aex
I personally use crdroid

I am using gcam and it is worth a shot. Pictures are amazing using gcam. EIS also improved a lot for videos. The only drawback is slo-mo videos. Hopefully it will be fixed with upcoming Oreo update for g5 plus.......

Wow thanks for this, the pixel2mod v6 beta 11 is the first Google Camera I've found with fully working auto focus. It's also extremely stable, it hasn't crashed yet.

I had Gcam in RR but Slow motion and Paranoma didn't work
The only Benefit of Gcam over Moto cam is Portrait mode
its really good
but due to Volte Issues I had to move to Stock rom.
you can give a Try to Gcam to RR, Worked good for me

Some issues with GCam on Zenfone Max pro M1

GCam is working fine most of the times. I am using the latest recommended version V5.1 that requires no set up. Images are great albeit quite some noise, however my main issue is with evening shots like taking sunsets,the lower left corner exhibits ugly pink noisey vignetting and the whole image has a slight pink hue to it. I have enabled the toggle in the settings to fix this pink hue issue but it still persists. Please help me fix this. May be recommend another version.

And It works at HavocOS 26.11.18 ROM. From some verison and up, it doesn't work- no update works. It is on different custom ROMS too. How to fix it?
I'm using V8.3build of GCAM. :/

Idk. But the pixel 3 mod usually have sizes around 100mb ig. what u r talking about includes ports such as pixel 2 mod. This one also has more features maybe thats y it has bigger size. Anyway always check it before u try and always try at your own risk.

Arnova's Latest mod works fine
Here is the link
Install Gcam 6.1, Arnova8G2, 26/10/2018 APK
You will need to have Android Pie running on your MI A1.
I am currently using HavocOS 2.0, Night Mode works well and havent faced any issues except the slow-mo crashes...

Flash light vs Night mode, it wasent that dark with my eyes but in the camera it was a bit dark as you can see in the flash light picture. The reason I didn't take a picture without flash is because I didn't take the picture for comparison.
The night mode works fine on this phone, so if you want night mode this is fine

Would be better if you compare the night mode with no flash insteed

As of now, slow-mo videos arent working and the front cam gives greenish tint pics when shot in portrait mode else everything seems to be working and functional.
This is still in early stages so dont expect rock solid stability.

In that one, night sight works much better, but you will not be abled to use portrait or hdr, because both apk can't be installed at the same time. You should try. https://mega.nz/#!n8YSBKTQ!ZSb_DSjch7X52a-USbj7yI8ufQcmVux7uMS9h12rXFo

Hi RXT users,
Google camera is working fine.
Please find the below version to download.
Download and enjoy.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.2.030_RazerPhone2_V5.apk

Alternatively, feel free to use Realme 3 Pro's GCam apk
R3ProMGC_6.1.021_F1_V1.7.apk
Works Flawlessly after tweaking a couple of settings.

It's showing error 404 with link

If you are looking for working GCam
Here i found one
https://www.ytechb.com/download-google-camera-6-2-for-realme-xt/

Thanks OP, I will check it out.

So I found this version. Its for some Xiaomi phones but works fine on XT
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/F1v9.5_6.2.030.apk
Just don't turn on anything (you can play with settings and see if it works or not)
and slo mo not working its very laggy
Use pixel 3a on back camera
and nexus 6p on front
In saturation settings you can use 2.4 and 1.6 on back and 1.0 and 1.0 on front (you can play with these settings and let me know which saturation settings is best)
You can post any link of working gcam also!
Thank you!

I suggest you to post this on official XT forums as they just opened that..

Picture quality is mixed bag. GCam takes pictures in natural color unlike stock cam which is very saturated. GCam is bit slow.
Sharpness is comparable. I haven't tested night mode in GCam , but realme stock cam if you reduce little bit saturation is very good even in comparison with GCam.. of course this is my personal view... people can differ based on individual choices...
