Guys, can anyone recommend me a stable gcam mod and also the suitable settings for our device? I installed one of the mods but it does behave abnormally on some occasions.
My only requirement is hdr+ and stability. Nothing else. I don't care if it has portrait or slo-mo or other stuff. Just a working mod with hdr+.
Use the attached app and set iso level to 625 or 3200, set manual fixed level ofset to 63.5... This is given in the advanced settings option... Use model nexus 5 and enable portrait mode for all devices in the advanced settings.
P. S. Its not uploading here.

I'm considering buying the Nokia 8 but would first prefer to know whether or not the phone allows third party camera apps like Camera FV-5 or Snap Camera HDR to tune sharpening and noise reduction, or altogether switch these off.
Any Nokia 8 owners who have tried this and can tell if this works or not?
You can use any camera app you like
Thanks. I am sure that is true.
My question is specific. If I install a camera app that allows tuning post processing (sharpening and noise reduction), will this work on the Nokia 8?
Not all phone makers expose these controls in the camera APIs.
For example, Samsung's Galaxy phones equipped with Exynos chips does not permit tuning post processing while their SnapDragon models do this.

I have both Camera FV-5 and Manual Camera so I could check if such options are there if you tell me where to look as I don't recall seeing something like that in their preferences (I had Nexus 6P previously).
Thanks. I'll check when I reach home in a few hours.

You can check in Camera FV-5. See my screenshots where to find sharpening. If you take a photo first before adjusting and then after with sharpening set to minimum: will you see difference in quality, when zooming in to 100% ?

Well, it is by default set to 0 here (all sliders in this window are) so I would have to manually change it to higher value in order to do any comparison.
Okay, thanks. So probably doesn't work then. I guess I need to consider other phones. ?
On my current phone (Asus PFS) it's set to almost zero but adjusting it has no effect on picture quality.
Ok, when I tried to move that slider it turned out it is impossible. So that fully answers your question
Just find an app that takes RAW images and use that. Then adjust said parameters to your heart’s content
I'd rather buy another phone that supports this.
If you have Camera2 API enabled in your phone, try Snap Camera - you can tune everything here. Just enable Camera2 API in the settings, then the noise is preserved. Adjustable sharpness, saturation etc... The only option missing here for me is long exposure mode. On my Redmi 4X it allows only 1" shutter time max (still I can get nice night pictures on ISO 250 with this interval).
Also, you can try FreeDCam and disable Wavelet Denoise in the settings to turn off noise reduction.
Finally, Google Camera port is really great camera app for daily usage, especially for HDR pictures - it uses Camera2 API by default and produces amazing shots with all details (subtle noise) preserved. Unfortunately, you can't adjust any of parameters like sharpness or saturation.
All those apps are tested on my Xiaomi Redmi 4x but it will hopefully work for you if your phone supports Camera2 API.
So you tested on a Xiaomi Redmi 4x but haven't tested on a Nokia 8?
Those features are very much dependant on whether or not the phone supports them. And no way of knowing without buying the phone and testing and then finding out the good or bad news.
So far the hints from previous posters above is that the Nokia 8 does NOT support full control over post processing.
This is the best gcam for hdr + and portrait mode. Because of its speed of capture and post-processing, you can take several photos at once and the hdr + is still in the background. And by its portrait mode mode that is one of the fastest.

The download and intalan believe that there is no need to remove the camera from the rom. So I did not need magisk.
To use it simply descativad hdr + and then activate hdr + improved and ready will serve the approach.
Note: Always have the flash off or the hdr + will not work. For the portrait mode always have the flash active since with the flash it focuses. Regarding the gcam of Arnova the last one I do not recommend it much. The post processed is not as good as it is nx camera. In addition, you do not need adjustments, you just have to go to advanced settings and activate hdr + control and you're done. To disfurtar
They do want a super-fast approach. I recommend this
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/gcam_518_a_a_a_v4_mf-OP3.apk
This has the most accurate and fast focus of all the gcam. The approach seems of the stock camera is super fast. Only the hdr + is useful. If you want more quality go to settings, hdr + parameters and select super high.
Obviously the shot will be slower since it makes a large post processed and it would be complicated to take several default.
These are the 2 gcam I use. They are the best so far, the nx camera for its speed of post-processing and fast portrait mode. And the gcam op3 for its approach is super fast There is no need to be touching the screen to focus. Also if you leave the default hdr + parameters you can take many photos as stock and and
Super fast. But if you change the parameters from hdr + to super high it will be slow Ra take it and you will have to wait for it to processes
I think that for the last application of camara And magisk is necessary. I recommend flashing magisk delete the camera that Bring the ROM and then flashing the uninstall zip Because he gave me errors in terms of mobile coverage. That's why I recommend just installing magisk to remove the camera and remove magisk it immediately
Once this is done you can install the latest camera application mentioned.
I will be updating the list of the best functional gcams. Greetings from Colombia

Guys, your search ends here.

Dear friends,
November has been a very productive month for P2 owners with all sorts of Pie ROMs roaming around. But what everyone wants is a stable ROM with a working port of GCam 6.1 because it has got the magical "Night Sight" feature which actually does magic in low light.

Google Camera 7 for Android 10
PMGC_7.0.009_PopugVersion_V11_1
Front camera greenish photos under dim light can be corrected by doing few things:
1. Enable HDR+ enhanced from drop down menu
2. Go into advanced settings and set time for front camera "1/5s" in ISO/ Exposure Time HDR+ or ISO 100. 1/5 captures photos faster though.
3. Reduce HDR+ frames to 5-10. Whenever you want to capture night shots without flash then enable HDR+ enhanced.
Configuration file
Video Capture Issues:
GCam is bad at capturing videos with P2.
Hence, install Open Camera, select 30 fps from video setting of the app then select audio source as default or optimised for voice recognition.
Keep resolution at 1080p for capturing, otherwise app will force close.
Adjust exposure while capturing videos at will.
This solution would work on Android 10 as well and it will record audio too.
Don't forget to test capture video to understand how it works.
Note: Config files are given as attachments.
What works:
Portrait, Night Sight, Face Retouching, AR Stickers, Playground, Photobooth, Panorama, RAW image, Video capture, Photo sphere, Lens, Motion Capture, Super Res-Zoom (Full zoom with HDR+ enabled), SlowMo (ROM dependent), Lens Blur

As far as I know, RR is the only 8.1 ROM for P2 with almost zero or controllable bugs so an upgrade to RR should do the trick.

May be the camera is not focusing the object you are capturing. First touch the area you want to focus and then capture. Otherwise, restart the app. I tried a few flash photos and found that it did shoot few overexposed photos. I restarted the app and it was all good again.

There is green tint in portrait
Ive tried multiple GCAM port from, BSG, Shamim, LMC, Arnova etc... Some of them crashed instantly, some of them made it up to video mode and seemed to work just fine with the video mode. But couldn't sustain in photo mode.
Only working version i found is quite old BSG 8.1 but that also seemed pretty laggy, is there anyone who uses gcam for this specific model!
Video moder working model: SGCAM 8.4 V43
I will truly be grateful to you for your assist.
Install AGC8.4.300_V9.5.apk .. now long tap on cam icon (the yellow one) .. then open settings .. and copy these settings as you see
Disable the settings as I show them to have very smooth viewfinder
I prefer not to use the automatic AWB, with the settings I wrote to you, you should be able to take excellent photos both with the automatic AWB (coldest photos) and without the automatic AWB (photos with more natural colors)
Only the main camera works, the night mode does not work, the videos also work at 4k 60fps (also in slowmo)

you should try it yourself, it depends on the situations, I find a more accurate and natural hdr in backlit situations that are not easy
I find more marked details (sharpness)
if set as I wrote, I don't experience lag, crash or anything else
