Nokia 8 camera app for moto g5 plus ( potter )

Hi guys. Anonymous here.
recently I have uploaded the MI A1 camera app . Which was taking better photos. With fast capturing and focusing speed.
This time I am uploading the Nokia 8 camera app.
I have tested the camera app in stock. It was taking very good hdr pictures. Better than mi a1 and also stock camera.
It was capturing good front camera pictures. With white flash screen.
Bugs : you tell me.
Try out yourself. Thanks

I Can confirm that hdr pics are way better than stock cam in low light and less noisy too. Thanks bro for providing this app.
This needs camera 2 API to be activated or rooted?
I'm looking for a better way to take photos but almost every way i found seems to require custom ROMS, camera 2 API enabled, etc. Phone is under warranty and i can't mess with the system at all...
Thanks

No APIs are needed. Works flawlessly on the stock ROM.
Working Perfectly on Stock Rom. Normal Photos are Batter than Stock Camera app thanks... @Anonymous
there is a bug when i'm trying to take a picture with front camera. Stuck on white flash screen. It has to do with beautify mode.

Gcam with night sight for Mi A2 !?

Could someone tell me without some version of gcam with night sight for Mi A2?
Arnova's latest has the option I think. But it's just a placeholder. Doesn't actually work.

Not in my case. Gcam is superior 95% of the time.

Use the search function. Gcam mods have max 5 megapixel front and max 12 megapixel rear. For further details as to why, search a bit please.
And by the way, the 5 megapixel front pictures from gcam are several times better than the 20 mp front camera pictures in indoor lighting conditions.

Here you go - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCcamMod-6.1.013.apk
Someone posted in the Android reddit page:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/9u7srh/pixel_3_camera_with_night_sight_works_on_nexus_6p/
It also worked on my Xiaomi A2. (although the viewfinder does not work)

Is it possible to use the 20 mp sensor with Google Camera?

Yes, i have camera2api enabled and the quality of the 12 mp sensor is stunning. But... i want to take adventages from the second sensor. I've tried some fu24 mods but all crashes right away you start the app.
Thanks in advance.
20mp is for the depth sensor and Mi A2 doesn't click pictures of 20mp. (i think so).

I'm not sure about this. In the Mi A2 page says that it uses the 12mp sensor to take daytime photos, and the 20mp to take low light photos. I think that the stock camera app can do this change automatically. But I'm not sure if GCAM app can do this too.
Probably GCAM is using the 12mp to every situation, and doing all the work into software, even to manage the portrait (focus) effect, ignoring the 20mp sensor.
It is possible but you will have only 5Mpx, because it's quadra bayer something technology
On latest pixel experience caf I can switch to low night lens (latest arnova gcam). On stock it doesn't work

Wow, do you use a magisk module or something? or only pixel experience?
It takes 20 mp photos or 5 mp like someone suggested?
Could you share samples?
Sorry, a lot of questions, i know, but i'm trying to see if it's worthy install pixel experience for the second lens, or with camera2api enabled on stock i'm fine.

MGC_6.1.021_Arnova_xcam_mi9_v8.apk

RR7. 1
In options you can enable second camera.
Pictures are 5mpx in size. There is some pink tint, but not much. Quality is same as using 12mpx camera. I will post samples later.

Only magisk module I have is pixel3 gcam enabler for mi a2(I think I found this on xda). GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950.apk
Quality is not too low it is almost same with 12mp. Color correction is more accurate. It works for only photo and portrait (video,night sight tested others untested)
Edit: for samples I don't have stable interneth connection for now
Edit2: I found a way to use low light lens with night sight. After switching to low light lens just close your camera with your hand. on bottom try night sight will appear if you click that you can use it with night sight

Samsung Front Camera only left with 5 MP after Wide Selfie Update

It seems to me that the Wide Selfie Mode is a Scam. I realized this already a few Updates ago but was able to still downgrade, now with CSF9 i am stuck
In normal Selfie Mode i can only take Pictures with 5 MP, also other Camera Apps only recognize 5 MP. Only in the Samsung Camera and in Wide Selfie Mode i can take Pictures with 8 MP.
Could someone confirm this to me?
I had a short chat with Samsung Support and they told me it should not be that way and it would be fixed in the next Update but no idea how much i can trust in that
No one is on the same build that could tell me if its the same for them?
yes, same here

Not quite sure what you mean, you're issue is that your selfies are 5MP using the stock camera app?

Yes... if u open up the selfie camera and leave it in normal mode and look into the settings u can only apply up to 5.2 MP, only in Wide Selfie Mode u will see 8 MP as an Option, also in other Camera Apps u can only choose up to 5.2 MP
same here
ME TOO!!
Yes true, first I thought its an issue with mine only!! the thing is it shows in SAM info+ app as 5 MP and on any other 3rd party app its only 5 MP!! mine is exynos N960f
Same for me, only 5.2 MP for normal selfie... exynos note 9, June patch.
same here with last update
Just change the selfie mode. It starts with the wide selfie and not the "normal" selfie.

Having the same problem with my newly bought Exynos Note 9. Hopefully the 8MP selfie option will return in Android 10.

If you click on "wide selfie" you will see that it uses 8mpx... ?

That't not the case for me. It only uses 2.8MP

Now I've made some tests.. You'll see 2.8 mpx only in panorama mode... You have to select photo and click on the left button over shutter button!
I swear it's not that confusing to use a camera on a phone

Thanks! I now have 8MP in my camera!

You always had 8mpx on your camera.. ? ?
The sensor is 8mp arranged in a 4:3 aspect ratio. You cannot get 8mp for an aspect ratio wider than that. An 18.5:9 wide image from that sensor is done by chopping 2800 pixels of the top and bottom (5.2mp left).
Now, if you zoom your selfie cam in and go back into settings to select your aspect ratio, you will see that 5.2mp is all you get for the 4:3 aspect ratio (that's the most mp you now get).
I suspect people are seeing this happen when they have their cam zoom on. Turn off zoom and look again.
