This camera app has manual settings for shutter speed, white balance and iso but needs the Camera2 api to work

The official app also has those features. Logic would say that it must have the api. It also has raw file savings, which is part of the api. I cannot imagine that Samsung would use a non standard way to achieve raw file support.

There is nto a way for sammy to shoot RAW without Camera2 API. Yes, it does have it, OP. RAW shooting and the extra adjustments are all present out of the box (got mine in the mail 10 hours ago)

I am not the original source of this content. I found the leak described here on XDA:
https://www.xda-developers.com/download-nokia-camera-pro-camera-nokia-7/
A similar article was posted on Android Police:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/04/10/nokia-camera-pro-camera-mode-available-try-apk-download/
There is a slightly newer variant of the leaked APK (8.0260.50 vs 8.0200.20) as well which reorganizes some controls, but it would appear we lost the option to switch between wide angle in this latest apk. Will have to play with them some more. I have uploaded/mirrored both applicable versions to MediaFire:
8.0200.20
http://swifttopia.com/4MUZ
8.0260.50
http://swifttopia.com/4MZ5
My device is an LG V30 - VS996 (Verizon Wireless) running the latest and only Oreo 8.0 fw update. I'm assuming if I was successful in not only actually installing the apk, but all of the following also amazingly worked on a VZW device then I believe it's pretty safe to say it will most definitely do the same for all lol.
I couldn't find a function in this new app that didn't work with my device except for one. I was able to utilize the Wide Angle/Telephoto Angle lens toggle although it was backwards lol, Picture in Picture and Dual Screen camera functions are unique, perhaps useful for bloggers/vloggers?, HDR functions, all the different shooting modes to include the new (reintroduced) Pro Mode. I could not get the app to switch storage to ext sd but that was the only issue I had. Going to play around with shooting a few pics today. If anyone checks this out, enjoy!
Thanks for the share but any chance did you get any additional manual controls like shutter speed?
Sent from my LG V30 using XDA Labs
I have been able to access manual mode using the .20 version, but have not been able to access or even see pro mode yet. Apparently even the Nokia 8 can't see pro mode, just the 7. Been playing around with the APK to look for some sort of system check that could be altered. I've been wanting to learn to patch device/OEM specific apps, a la Arnova/Cstark Google cam mods. Gonna try to play with this as a first project.
In the meantime check out this OnePlus 5T Camera + Google HDR+ hybrid someone over at the XDA OP5T forums developed. Obviously could only extract and install the actual camera app but surprisingly pro mode etc works. Swipe up on "photo" to select pro mode. I like the layout and placing of the histogram/settings.

FYI: XDA Developers member @linuxct has managed to port the newest release of the Nokia Camera WITH Pro Mode. Pretty sweet, you can check it out here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-nokia-camera-8-0260-50-pro-mode-t3798127
how's the photo output? Do you find it to be better then the stock camera?
Hello Guys.
Today i got a Moto G7 US retail and i decide to look in my archives for a working GCAM version that work in the moto G7 ,this version work perfect except for the slow motion.
?Note: I'm no the creator of this mod,so please all the credits to the original creator.
Download here.
https://mega.nz/#F!bjwSlYgC!SbJVH20Hko8hHMI76EtaTw
The slow mo works with me. go to more than definitions active it and reboot
Night sight works surprisingly well, thanks!
Is there a way to set this as the default camera app ( launching it from the lock screen) ?
Works significantly faster than GCam on my old Nokia 7 Plus, despite having a technically inferior processor. I was expecting it to be much laggier, not faster.
You can't set permission for the app maybe with root
And some mods from magisk
If have tried on this on my new g7 what a great phone
En the gcam is really great thanks guys for making it
I got the Gcam to launch with gestures by going into settings>system>gestures>jump to camera>on then choosing Gcam and then always use. This made Gcam the default when I double tap the power button from any screen as well as when I use the Moto wrist flip. Hope it works as well for you too!
Change slowmo to 120 fps and it will work, default is 240.
I took this with the Night Sight, works pretty well. To my eyes it was almost totally dark.

What is GCAM? Is it on playstore?

GCAM is the stock google camera app that comes with the Pixel phones. The one thing that it does really well is to continually take pictures in the background and then stitch them all together when you hit the shutter button. I've been using the GCAM app and it is frickin awesome. I also own a first gen Pixel XL, and pictures with the GCAM app on a Moto 7 power is comparable. The only thing the Pixel XL does better is faster HDR processing.
The GCAM app is far and away much better than the stock camera app.

GCam is Google Camera, it typically is in the app store but doesn't show for our device. Also the modded one has some of the Pixel exclusive features added in.
2 questions:
Moto Z Force...
1. Need to set as default for flip action and can't find it. Searched settings and Moto settings. No such control or flag seems to exist to change default app.
2. Everything seems to work except slow motion, even after setting frame rate to 120 and choosing either 4k or 1080p. App force closes on selection of slow mo.
Any suggestions?
4K Video
All seems to work except 4K video selection? Does not come up with a selection for 4K....
I can clear defaults from my regular camera app, and reset them to gcam (so the double twist or double tap of power button opens gcam). However when gcam is the default, the camera app switches from portrait to lens blur. Is there any real functional difference?
Does SmartBurst work with this? I have a toddler so it helps me to get good pictures of her. It worked a few times but it's like it doesn't work every time.
Has anyone managed to get this or another gcam working on the moto g7 from the lock screen or twist while locked. This gives the "to function properly camera needs your permission" error. Otherwise it seems to work perfectly if the phone is unlocked.

GCam is popular shortname for Android software
Google Camera, by Google LLC.
id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
Yes, it's in the Google Play Store. However, it's currently only eligible for Google devices, like the Pixel smartphone family. The Store detects device models, or checks lists of devices under your current Google login account, & evaluates if an app is allowed/eligible, & only allows install if so.
(I'm researching it now to evaluate options & if can install on my devices/phones (I want those benefits!). I just recently found out developers have developed app mods/ports, & provided procedures & downloads, so I'm new to GCam for non-Google devices/phones.).
GCam is considered some of the best camera & photo processing software for Android. Most of the high(est?) quality of Google Pixel phone cameras, is because of the software more than the hardware. So the software can potentially benefit any phone camera, where the software can be installed & used (with full or partial functionality of the software, depending on device model & Android version). That is why people want it (perhaps request by feedback to Google to release for more/all Android devices?).
That is why people are listing Android app mods(modifications)/ports/adaptations here, that are made usable (full or partial functionality) on other devices.
These are from 3rd parties other than Google, so not approved & supported by Google. Trustworthiness of these apps can be questionable; this site tends to have more reliable & knowledgeable developers.
To install 3rd party app (app) on Android, at least have to enable in Android Settings to allow install (from sources other than Google Play Store).
Installing the modded/ported apps (app) can be easy/simple to difficult/complicated/technical, depending on the device model & Android version, & how much meets the app (apk) requirements & any extra updates/changes needed.
Some cases can install app directly; other cases may require other installs, even rooting or unlocking the bootloader on the phone or using remote ADB access from a computer (like desktop or laptop).
Appropriate online articles will usually include requirements or procedures.
GCam usually requires a minimum Android version (recent Google version claims needs Android Pie), because requires at least Google Camera 2 API software library/service for Android (which seems included with Android HAL3). Which may be installable on Android version that doesn't have it; some developers have procedures or download apps to install.
To research availability for a device/phone model, search about an app (GCam, or Google Camera), include the device model, & Android; optional terms, install or apk.
Yeah yeah, but it slows the phone DOWN TO A CRAWL, and is therefore USELESS. The photo preview is stuttering too, FORGET it.
Does this also work with the G7 Power?
Google Camera [version 5.1.018] for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (greatlte)
A working mod of Google Camera or GCam for Galaxy Note 8 Exynos is now available to download which is built by IDan. With a proper manual settings, almost every feature is working on this Google Camera.
This is based on Google camera base version 5.1.018. You get HDR+, ZSL, Slow motion etc. on this GCam Exynos mod for Galaxy Note 8 Exynos model.
IDan’s GCam Exynos builds come not so frequently, but these are compatible for most of the recent Samsung models running on Exynos chipset.
Why Camera2API ?
⚬ Camera2 API was enabled on Android 5.0 to give the software applications access to the low level functionality of a camera hardware such as: Slow motion, RAW image capability etc.
⚬ To be able to use the Google Camera RAW image capture, Slow motion, manual control and other features Camera2 API works with HAL3 version.
Why Gcam Tools ?
⚬ To Prevent flipping of front camera photos, help to choose which photos you want to move, select custom source and destination folders, to batch move multiple files & help to delete the sub folder created by Google Camera.

Hey man! What are the steps to set it up? What is the use for the Camere2API file?
Thanks man going to try
Post deleted. Nevermind.
Since there was no fix, provided by Realme, for the quality of the audio in videos recorded with the stock camera app, and unlocking the bootloader is still not available for the RMX3311 (EU) the only way to improve the audio was to modify another camera app, without loosing stock camera features, like 60fps, stabilization, etc.
So, I've decompiled and modified the GCam port from SHAMIM (SGCAM) and changed the audio source from "Camcorder" to "Voice recognition" (see https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.AudioSource), is not perfect but much better than stock.
I've also included the configuration xml for SGCAM 8.4 with basic settings for Realme GT2 so the quality of photos and videos be similar to the stock camera.
Working (after importing my config xml) :
- Back (main) camera: FHD videos 30/ 60fps, 4k 30fps, image quality equal to stock camera
- Improved sound quality in video recordings for front and back camera
- Front camera 60fps
Not working:
- Slow motion (works partially)
- Aux cameras (wide and macro)
- HDR+ or HDR+Enhanced if activated the colors are bad, inaccurate, too artificial. Can be improved but I personally like the results without hdr+, so I don't care to make them work.
I've created two builds because the recorded audio channels are reversed, (android 13, fw c.06), you can check using stock sound recorder, if you speak to top mic the sound plays on bottom speaker, mono for current situation (with reversed channels) and stereo for when (if) they will fix the channels order.
Install instructions:
1. Download the modified SGCAM from here:
mono: https://uploadnow.io/f/G4Ctrh7
or
stereo:
https://uploadnow.io/f/lJBRS1t
2. Download the Realme GT2 config file for SGCAM 8.4: Lcfg1.xml (attached to this post)
3. Install SGCAM, open once, allow permissions, (needed to create folders for configs)
4. Copy Lcfg1.xml to [phone internal storage]/SGCAM/XML/Lcfg1.xml
5. Import Lcfg1.xml by double tapping the blank space between shutter button and switch camera button (see the attached screenshot)
6. Leave a message if it helped you

Will test, nice work. Still angry at Realme for crippling the device like this.
This is sooooooooooo much better
In case if someone wonders, there is a xml for the GT 2 Pro, which the ultrawide camera works with, and it also works on our GT 2, but the picture quality is very low and noisy.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam-for-realme-gt2-pro.4429173/post-87701663
It is in the attachments.
@hdavid1 For the aux cameras (wide and macro) to work you need GCAM, with package name com.ss.android.ugc.aweme But those have an issue, the photos taken with the main camera are shifted to the right (they have a black border on the left) - tested only on my GT2.

just tested that xml file and it's not working. My SGCAM build is not derived from the com.ss.android.ugc.aweme package, because of the reason posted above.

hi there i have the gt but the 1 with the same audio issue i can open the bootloader so i can fix it but i dont know how can you provide me some guidence pls?

sry, tipped too fast, i have the realme gt 5g, and have the same issue as your phone but in my case i can open the bootloader and be root, but i dont know what i have to change to fix the mic issue(i saw i have to edit mixed_paths.xlm), honestly i dont care about video but about voice recording in general
post here your mixer_paths.xml and I'll have a look, I don't think it's the same as on the gt2
Have you tried out other Audio Sources and if that changes anything or is Voice Recognition the best for this device?
@smashda Yes I've tried them all, and voice recognition is the only one with acceptable results. Sources like unprocessed is too low, voice com. has too much noise canceling, etc.

@alex61194
*!!! have a backup so you can restore from custom recovery, just in case.
1.make sure you are editing mixer_paths.xml from /vendor/etc
2. modify the file according to the instructions from the screenshots.
3.after saving the file verify/set the permissions to be rw-r-r (like before)
4. reboot the phone, check if the modifications are still there
5. try a recording see if something changed. Do not expect to fix or improve something. This is just a test to see if we are on the right path.
6. tell me the results.
@wizard8400 bruh we have GT 2 Indian variant RMX3312 with an unlocked bootloader. We, unfortunately don't have TWRP. Can you give some suggestions?
@Ptathavi I think is possible with magisk:
first you need to flash a patched boot image (patched by magisk) to have root
and then something like: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-change-files-in-the-directory-system-with-magisk.4454489/
or try searching something like "edit system file with magisk"

What!!! I have been searching for this for so long but i couldn't find it, searches only showed Neo 2 and Pro and as there were no posts in XDA i thought development hasn't started yet so i was learning/trying to build twrp and build device tree for it. Thanks for the link
