Google Camera with HDR+ Ported to Snapdragon 820/821 and 835 Devices

This in no way shape or fashion is my work. I found this and it's working great on my S8+and is also working on my Note 8.

Is it a snapdragon? Working on my T-Mobile snapdragon variant.

This is embarrasing, but no. It is not. Thank you for your time!

I did the same thing. Don't feel bad.

It didn't work on my phone at first. I had to reboot the phone then it worked fine.

This works so much better than the stock HDR feature - it's actually one of the main reasons why I insisted on a Snapdragon model.

Does anyone know the video recording limit on this camera app ?

I have the samsung unlocked version running on sprint, but I what do I have?
Also does it work side by side with the existing cam? I will be able to chose whichever cam I want to use?

There should be a download link on the post, it's right above the interview with the developer. Yes, I have them both installed on my home screen and they both work fine. Just install it like a regular apk.

Seems Note 8‘s camera works as well as google camera?

Is there somewhere that explains the differences in the various algorithms? I searched around but found only bits and pieces.
Also, it would be nice if someone could post which settings actually work for the Note 8. I tried a few and some wouldn't save and others
(I'm not a big camera buff and really don't use my phone's camera that much, otherwise I would.)

I'm seeing people state that the Google Camera is a bit better than the Stock Samsung one, but my experience is the opposite. Google Camera is giving me bad low light performance. I even used setting from the forums and was still subpar. What settings are you guys using?

I couldn't get this to work on my AT&T Note8 un-rooted.

Which settings from the forums? You have a link we can try? Thanks.

Unlocked non-rooted on Verizon and installs fine. Samsung Camera is far superior including with HDR so I'll un-install now...

Any news on making this work on Note 8 Exynos variant?

It works only on snapdrago phones

Not correct. Works on Exynos too but if you try to make any changes to settings it'll crash. Only way to revive is by clearing storage from settings!
However I didn't find it significantly better than stock camera and night time/poor lit/dark conditions photos are definitely better with stock camera.

[Request] Simple stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat

Hello, so I have been wondering why is there no stock Android available for the SM-J700T?
All I find are certain remakes of the normal Samsung Experience/TouchWiz OS.
I just want a stock Android, the type you would find on the HTC One M8 2014, ETC

No device tree, for the US variant. I was building an aosp rom but no one really cared so I quit.

That's too bad. Does that mean there is no way to completely remove Samsung Experience/TouchWiz from your phone?

? That IS the operating system. U can't remove it. What u are talking about is the Android open source project. Or aosp. It doesn't exist for the US version of the j7. U can theme your phone to look more like pure Android. Download the lawn chair launcher from here on xda. Then use it as toucwiz. Or use my pixel rom . I would get a new phone. J7 sucks man. If u like Android get a Nexus or pixel . Honor has potential too and same price as the j7

Okay. Forget what I said. I was using your Pixel rom, but I have three HUGE issues. 1 is I cannot download Amazon shopping, and can't download web browsers [nvm fixed it], I can't answer calls correctly, and the ui feels like someone sped it up. What I mean is the loading symbols are cats on cat nip, the animations are active, but too fast, and the lockscreen lags. alot.
I'm just going back to stock and using Gravity Box.

U didn't read the Official post. U have to select phone in default applications, it's a pixel UI port bug.u can't use Amazon ? That's weird. And yes everything is way sped up. That's what I do. I make phones fast and battery's last for way longer. Xposed will slow it down to a creep cuz that's what Xposed does... And the lockscreen is a nougat bug.
FYI, read posts before flashing...like the majority of them.. this is all in there..hope that helps

Go to your stock camera and swipe to the left and you should see a blue box that says create my emoji. Click on that and it should redirect you to the samsung galaxy apps page. It's really useless to be honest with you. Animoji for iphone is a lot better and innovative.

Steve One said:

Yes they did! I was cursing and saying the exact same thing.. It's just like the device manager that they took from us for well over a year.. They are always messing with something and taking it something.. And if you look at the date on the kernel, they took a good month to pull things. They're not trying to make sure anything works on their silly network.. They are just trying to remove features in the frail "hope" that it will make people upgrade to the new models.
Same thing for security patches.. Notice we didn't get one at all for 3 months, while Samsung had been rolling them out every month steady. All you have to do is either read here in some of the other threads, or simply sammobile. The latter always tells when they're is an update our patch to any Samsung device. And I just sat, read, and observed. They do this every year, with every single new devices far as Samsung is concerned.
They let Verizon do that to us. But yes, Verizon is as crooked a carrier, as a bent telephone pole.. I feel you what though, it makes me feel just the opposite. Why in the world would I, as a consumer keep investing money in a device that isn't cheap by a Longshot as far as cellular devices are concerned, when all they're going to do, is disable features, that the device was designed for by the manufacturer..
It really, at this price point to me is simply sickening.. And I really and utterly refuse....

There is no AR feature in the so-called AR emoji for Note 8. There are plenty of app that can be used to create personalized sticker, nothing special.

Pie magnification lens gone

After installing pie build 108, I noticed that Android finally installed a text selecting zoom lens like iOS. Very useful.
Now a week later, it's gone!!
Anyone have any idea how to get it back?
That was the only thing where I thought iOS was clearly better than Android.

Reflaehed... It's back.

The P20 Pro camera app works just as well. There is a variant for the Google camera app but it's nowhere near as fluid as the pro one.
I have no need for the Google one personally, besides the odd gallery blip, it's perfectly fine..

Question about games not playing full screen?

I just got the Pixel 5 and I'm curious why some games are showing up full screen but most cut off the left side right under the notch? Is there a way to fix this or is it on the developer? It's odd because on my S20 Plus the same games play full screen with no issues so it seems to be a Pixel thing?

Still no solution? Got a Pixel 4a and this is exactly my problem aswell..how bad.

It's not just games. A lot of apps do that in landscape as well, like Google Maps and Telegram. There's a new Magisk module that fixes it though.
Download the module from here.
Flash it with Magisk Manager and reboot.
Go to settings > Developer Options and scroll down to "Display Cutout" and choose the Pixel 5 option.
That's it, no more black bar.

See my reply above. This mod will work for you too, but the Pixel 5 option might not work as well as the OnePlus FHD choice. Try them both to see which works best.

Wow. It is ugly and annoying. It looks like Google is not even trying to fix it. Since I just bought my Pixel 5, I only have 2 choices to fix the issue. Return the phone and get a different brand or root my new phone to fix the problem.
So much for pure Android experience.
