Google Night Sight? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Is it even possible to get Google Night Sight on the phone or is it built in the google cam app?

On android pie you can enable cam2api and dowload a port of gcam(v6) on https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/.
Night Sight works on most of them, I am currently using "MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a"

It is built in the Google cam app. You can't get it on the stock cam.

What is a Working Camera+Camcorder App for Marshmallow?

Picked up a Moto X Play for family in Canada.
The Camera interface isn't the most intuitive, was hoping to use Google Camera but every app I seem to use seems to crash when switching from camera to camcorder mode, currently on the March security update for Marshmallow.
Does anyone else have this issue or can recommend a decent camera app as an alternative?
Try Open Camera or Manual Camera.
Yeah open camera is a nice one.The stock camera app is working normal on mine.Try to clean cache of the stock camera app.
Opencamera crashes.
Google Camera 2.7 is actually working, so the problem is with version 3.1 and later... Guess that's why they pulled it from the Play Store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-7-008-release/
When switching from camera to video camcorder mode, it says 'Can't connect to camera' and crashes the app
Running version 5.1 and its working.Stock mm 6..0.1.

Sorry i was mistaken with motorola stock camera app. Maybe google camera is crashing because it cant find a gyroscope sensor which is needed for the 360 pictures.
Looking for a camera app as well; stock Motorola camera is too slow on launch in taking pictures or I itializing video. I've tried clearing data and cache. Google Camera works besides camcorder mode.
I used Open Camera. After installation, the first time I have it hung. Resetting and poked in the settings. In the "interface settings" disabled "show slope" and "show the direction of the compass." As long as such no longer hangs.

Photosphere missing in default camera app.

I have a new motor x4 and while using the camera app cannot find the photosphere option anywhere. This is a Google phone so I cannot understand why such an important option is missing. Maybe I just don't know how to find it?

have you checked panorama mode? My Fi X4 has it.
It's missing in the default camera app but you can still make photoshperes with the Google Streetview App.

It's not a Google phone, nor is the camera app included from Google. You could port the modded GCam over to your device for better image and video quality, but I don't know what to tell you of the lack of a photosphere. If you mean the "tap anywhere to capture" feature, then that can be disabled in the camera's settings.
I also miss the photosphere function. Or, on other words, I do miss the official support from Google to Port the Google camera app to more devices.
Latest GCam has been modded to work with other devices under Android Nougat.
I am using that to make photosphere, but I can not import photospheres to G. cardboard viewer.
Moto X4 has a version of photosphere, more like a photocylnder
I just activated my Android One X4 last night, switch from Moto X2 and discovered this morning no obvious photosphere. very sad.
Turns out the Moto camera app (which updated last night) used panorama mode to replicate official sphere. If you take panorama with wide angle it captures a full 360 degrees. These images are then available for cardboard and other sphere viewing modes.
Sadly, or I haven't tried enough, it does not do up and down. Image is blurred above and below, which is a bit disappointing, but understandable.
My photosphere from Machu Picchu would have been lacking without seeing down into valleys below and beautiful sky above. My sphere of last year's eclipse from a cliff overlooking a lake in Wyoming would have been dull without eclipse in sky and terrain/lake below.
But I can guess 90% of spheres have sidewalk/grass below and sun glare above so ...
I could just explore app more and see if it can do it with some settings tweek.

Is there a Faster Camera App?

Any suggestions from experience, with a better camera app, without lag, than the Moto Camera app?

Thanks, Olive!
I'll give that a whirl.
Ok, I side loaded Google camera v4.4 and the shutter is virtually instantaneous. The only issue is there is no setting to save pics to the SD card. There is a SAVE TO toggle, but no destination to choose. No matter whether the toggle is off or on, pics are saved to internal storage.
You can use google camera for outstanding usage of your camera.The camera app is present in pixel phones.It has the HDR+ mode that is not available in moto x4.U can download the apk from any sites.It also features potrait mode!

I didn't come across portrait mode having app, can your pls post the link here if possible?
The stock Gcam apk won't enable portrait mode on this phone. You have to get a modded apk.
Side note, I've used portrait mode a handful of times, and it's only worked decent once. The other 7-8 times it's come out weird, depth map is all wrong, and no way to re-enable it. It's almost useless. That said, the other features of the modded Gcam are nice, such as the HDR+ and 60fps video.
doers it work after the 8.0 update?
thx

RIP google goggles

Google goggles is officially killed off, now prompts users to install Google lens or open Google lens if you have it in Google photos
RIP goggles: 2010-2018

Gcam for sirocco

Pls suggest / link for gcam for sirocco
Download from here, work perfect: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1_defaultjpg.apk
Link is from this theme: https://community.phones.nokia.com/...or-the-google-camera-port-for-nokia-8-sirocco
All versions from back.rider are working fine.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/
Hello, did anybody found a working version of GCam for Nokia 8 Sirocco after the recent update to Android 10? I tried many apps suggested in the Nokia 7 Plus thread, as it's supposed to have the same internals but no success. I disabled battery optimization. The app starts once, I allow it everything and afterwards it just crashes. The only port, which was semi-successful was KillerCam_V1-Final_SA10.apk based on GCam 6.1 (I can't post a link, sorry) I'm able to capture a movie but not a photo. I can make panoramas and use the lens blur but not normal photos or portraits. The version based on GCam 7.2 crashes like all other ports. Did anybody else had more luck?
EDIT: I also set it like recommended in this post:
Killer Mod mandatory settings
1."Fix tap on focus" should be Enabled
2."Buffer Fix" should be Enabled
3."Using Sabre" should be Never
4."Max allowed memory" its upto you allow as maximum as you can. In my case 1680
Restart Your Device

The app is still not able to take photos.
It's not working because hmd disabled Raw Capture with the update, gcam needs raw for HDR+ and...well everything computational.

Can Raw Capture be enabled somehow on rooted devices?
there's a way to prevent gcam from crashing described on the Nokia Community board (can't post a link because I just registered):
1. Install KillerCam_V1.5_Revolution_6.1.021.apk
2. Go to app details and force stop Killer Cam
3. Clear all app data from Killer Cam
4. Start Killer Cam and confirm access to location etc.
5. Close Killer Cam
6. Install Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b6.5-A10.apk
this does result in a working, usable app at least, but still without RAW support of course.
It doesn't crash but what's the point without HDR+, portrait and night shot.
Better of to install gcam go

Thank you for the answer, but what is the point of installing GCam Go? To me it behaves the same way as the broken GCam.

GCam Go is pretty decent for me. Not as good as GCam on Pie, but certainly better than the potato quality of Nokia's Camera app.

Gcam without HDR is same as stock Camera.
RAW Capture is disabled in Sirocco and is enabled in 7 Plus. I suggest everyone to contact them and tell about it.
I think it is end of the line for nokia 8 sirocco

I don't know, the pictures looked a little clearer, but maybe it was just in my head. I'll take some more pictures with GCam Go and report back.

Update : After 2 restart problem fixed

No HDR in GCam Go.Video stabilization is bad and no night mode.
This is true, but GCam Go work better than original Camera software from Nokia.
