Enjoy the new camera app.
I could install the app with luckypatcher. New iu feels fresh and nice. But it looks like a portrait mode on a frontal camera doesn't work properly, it blurs everything.
UPD: the portrait mode works, it needs Ratio 4:3 to be set.
Selfies with portrait mode on front camera are blury...i reverted back to 6.3

Like mentioned above, you have to set the ratio for the front camera to 4:3 then the portrait selfies will work as they should At least it does for me.
Interesting...Interesting...

It's a straight upgrade/update on my 3a (though it does warn that it's a "dogfood" AKA pre-beta APK). That means that- so far - there is no reason it can't install on any Pixel.

Maybe he's running either Pie or a Pie-based AOSP ROM? (Despite 10/Q being available, some folks have refused to move.)
(Yes; 10 is available to every Pixel phone; not merely some of them - however, there are still holdouts.)

for me didnt worked sow your post
It is now on the PlayStore - as Camera 7.2. If you have an earlier version installed (unmodded, of course), update. For me (Pixel 3a), the biggest gain is still NightSight; if I needed the AstroPhotography mode, the same improvements that show up in NightSight would be useful there, too. My biggest quibble is the same one that was present with the previous Camera app; motion is on by default.. (Where I'm curious is WHY it's on by default - the default with other OEM/ODM camera apps is to shoot stills.) Because of the NightSight improvements, it's a worthwhile update for the Pixel 3a and earlier - especially if you take low-light shots - and given the time of year, you likely will.
So, anybody using Cstark's PXv4.x camera mod on the Pixel 3a? Are there major improvements?
Does this install alone or does it replace stock cam?

I use it, works great, no issues found, but i did not made many pictures..
It installs as a new package, so you can use booth (or deactivate Google Camera wo you'll only have one in your app drawer)
PRO:
- set portrait zoom to 1.5 instead of 3.0
- Astrography mode switch
- many more settings to try out
CONS:
- Selecting Google Lens does not work, but you can use it easily from the app in the Playstore.
Just install it and try it for yourself, if you don't like it, you can uninstall it in a breeze.

These camera apps will install as a second camera. They do not replace the stock camera app and they can both be installed at the same time (just like any other 3rd party camera app). You can select the PX Camera to act as the default camera, but the OEM camera is available in the apps draw.
I'm running Camera PX 4.1 (version 7.2.014) right now. It adds a bunch of extra settings that are definitely helpful. One of the best features is bringing back Smart Burst mode (where the camera takes a series of high quality images while you hold the shutter button down). This was taken away by Google when they introduced the dumb video feature which only provides one high quality image and the rest are really low quality.
It probably won't make a noticeable difference in picture quality for normal pictures, but might in night or astro mode.
The only "downside" or feature not working in PX 4.1 is the "Google Lens" function. Selecting that mode doesn't actually do anything. I have to use the OEM camera right now if I want to use Google Lens. Hopefully that bug is fixed in the next version. Everything else works as expected.
Wow...
Gcam apk for my Pixel device???
*Do we need to root to use this?
Thanks
Hi guys.
Pixel 3a with December 2019 updated on Android 10.
No Rooting done.
I also have a MiA3 with gcam apk installed.
The selfie on MiA3 with gcam come off better than on my P 3A.
Why is that? They have better dynamic range and details as well(on zooming).

Little off topic, but i thought the same about my nokia 7 plus with GCam.
Thing is the fixed focus on the pixel front cam. You need to hold the phone more far away to get nice selfies.
Try the modded version mentioned in this topic. i think Cstark made improvements to the front cam too

Thanks for replying.
But I had Pixel 3 before 3A(switched due to atrocious battery life), and even in that I felt that the selfie camera was ok.
The situation with my 3a is similar to my friends iPhone 11, great back camera but ok front one.
Oh well....

Nothing special really......
I have "4k Smart Burst", "Restore Smart Burst" turned on and "Super Res Xoom Always On". Portrait Zoom set to 1.5x. "AI AWB for HDR+ Enhanced" turned On and "AI AWB for Night Sight" turned on.
I don't do anything with Lib patcher. I figure the stock settings are about as good as they are going to get.

Hello N6P users, I succeed in getting the ZSL HDR+ works on Nexus 5X, as Nexus 6P has the same camera hardware and better SoC, I'd like to ask someone test my mod, to see if the function works.
What's ZSL HDR+?
ZSL = zero shooting lag, means you won't get camera freeze after taking a HDR+ auto shoot. it is build-in the Google Camera 4.2 and only works on Pixel phones, now I force the app using Pixel configuration, it should perform the same ZSL HDR+ shooting on Nexus 6P.
Details about the ZSL HDR+.
ZSL-enhanced For 8.0+ only, ZSL HDR+ For 7.1.1+ only, Android 7.0 users please use NoZSL version.
APK was signed by ZipSign using my own signature, it won't replace your default camera app, it will install as a normal app, with a different camera icon.
Last Update
03/24/2018 V7.4
Base on Google Camera 5.2
1. Bring back HDR+ on Nexus 5X/6P.
2. Add Lens Blur mode.
3. EIS should be back to normal on Pixel 1, as EIS will be disabled with 4K quality with official version.
4. Active Google photos combination to view results again on enhanced version.
Details and download link for V7.4
01/02/2018 V7.3.1
Bug fix version
1. Fix abort HDR+ process FC problem.
2. Fix viewfinder flickering issue.
3. Add ZSL version for Android 7.1+, the previous one should be ZSL-enhanced version.
Bugs:
1. smart-burst always mark the first photo (ZSL-enhanced version).
2. Autofocus won't work after manually focus, need lock then unlock the AF/AE lock.
12/31/2017 V7.3
Current the new version is only for Android 8.0+, will release the updated version for Android 7.0.
1. Add the most wanted feature, Portrait mode (use Pixel 2's front lens software method, it needs a human face shows up to work.).
2. Remove silence feedback service, crash report service, and the broken Help menu, for faster app launch.
3. Remove Google photos combination, motion photo still works but you need to view it through Google photos manually.
I have named it wrong and this one should be the ZSL-enhanced version, sorry for the wrong package errors on Android 7.1.2
Details and download link for V7.3.1
11/06/2017 V7.2.0
This is bug fix version, not only for Pixel 2016, everyone who is using enhanced version should grab this update.
1. Fix crash issue on Pixel 2016.
2. Fix provider author name mistake leads to a thumbnail generation issue.
3. Motion pictures should be saved with a file name "MVIMG-####-##" right now, it became "IMG-####-##" in V7.1 version, which was wrong, this might mess the G photos when index media files.
Enhanced version users should get the experimental2017 library now.
Sorry, after some more test it seems experimental2017 is not necessary, just install the new version it will be ok.
About the Lens photo editor, it will be available after the picture upload to Google cloud.
10/19/2017 V7.1.0
1. Based on the last Google Camera 5.1.014, add Pixel 2016 phones support (need test).
2. Video 60FPS mode with EIS FC bug Fixed.
3. Motion photos for Pixel 2016 phones.
4. Micro video (Motion photos) EIS use gyro sensor enabled for Pixel (it was only activated on Pixel XL), need feedback.
5. Update icon support adapted icon and regular icon.
6. Disable Motion photos and G-photo integration for Android 7.1.
-- Now there is a new ZSL-enhanced version for Motion photos, G-photos combine, diet smart-burst on Android 8.x.
-- NOZSL and ZSL version will perform the old way while added new face retouching.
-- Bugs: after shooting photos, review it and you will see a black screen, need to wait for HDR+ process, I don't know it is normal or just hardware limited.

Get black screen only on nitrogen rom. But have custom kernel installed
Works great on 7.1.1 even with ElementalX 3.08!! There is some lag when its moving around, the regular camera doesnt have this, but its probably what makes the ZSL possible! There is still some lag with HDR+ on, but none with HDR Auto
btw this is working mint dude. good job. plan to keep it updated? id def choose this over the stock dp'7.1 camera

He said loud and clear this is for dev preview 7.1.1, there is an older version for 7.0, and nitrogen falls in neither of those, because its 7.1.0 !!!

Good to see custom 7.0 kernel on 7.1.1 did not break the camera, I would like to see some one on 7.0 using ex 3.08 kernel can get camera usable.

Ah I see. I would like to ask if the zsl also works if you turn off the HDR+ ? As no zsl switch inside the app for N6P, only one for N5X and it is disabled by default...
I force it enable for N5X, but for N6P I dont know if it is enabled or not.
I suppose it is enabled as the bursts mode needs it.

Created this thread to share working settings for our Mix 2 + IMX 386 on the latest Modded Google Cam. Feel free to share your working setups for Google Cam
Version Google Cam V4.0
ROM: Xiaomi.eu 9.22
Settings: See picture attachments below
What doesnt work:
HDR+ with Flash On
Autofocus
Tap to focus
Manual Focus Fix:
Swipe left to go into video mode and tap to focus before going back into picture mode
It have the same main camera sensor as Mi 6 which also do not have autofocus and touch to focus to work.
It's quite annoying when it doesn't have HDR+ and autofocus together, hope it can be fixed in future version

Autofocus doesnt work with HDR/HDR+ enabled. The camera works fine with auto focus without HDR features. I HDR+ is the reason why you want this mod then we are out of luck, its no better than the default MIUI cam.. may be a tad better NR processing on low light images.

Are you sure auto focus works for the default cam app when having HDR enabled? It doesn't at least for me. Thus I see no difference between GCam mod, Oneplus camera and default camera. Also, manually focusing seems to work without the left swipe.

So, I am writing this based on my experience on my Mi6 (Mi Mix 2 still has a locked bootloader for now), when you activate the HDR+ the autofocus will die, at that point you focus in Video mode, go back to Photo and take the picture.
In that way the HDR+ is working properly and as expected. You just need to keep your hands steady.
Also, on Mi6 has been reported that the Autofocus is working now with the latest version (with some bugs and messing around with the OmniVision module):

I found the settings of google camera that give the best HDR+, portraits on Nougat/Oreo Exynos devices. Compared to stock camera, GCam gives better saturation levels and detailed images. HDR+ parameters don’t hugely matter what you choose, and is all personal preference. A higher amount (very high in my case) will take a longer time to process.
New settings attached below. Clean Install is always recommended.
Mod8.3b_IDan_v3.2.9_Exynos.apk
3.2.9 Features
-Fixed black level back camera for Samsung Galaxy A8/A8+
-Attempt to fix OIS
3.2.7 Features
- Fixed black level front
- Enabled OIS by default
- Added saturation options in Advanced HDR+ settings
3.2 Features
- Dark Theme for settings.
- Now you can select the path where to save the photos (doesn't work on sd card but probably can work with some xposed mod).
- Removed all the snapdragon toggles. The app will know when apply that settings.
- Removed custom denoise param and other settings
- Now the app will restart every time you go back from settings to the viewfinder. This means that you don't need anymore to restart the app to apply settings
- Now there are three gestures in the viewfinder:
1. double tap on the black area it will pop the exposure menu directly
2. long-press on gallery and it will open samsung gallery instead of google photos
3. long press on the switch camera and after the restart the viewfinder brightness will be set to maximum
- some minor changes
Gcam Tool v2..32
-Prevent flipping of front camera photos
-Choose which photos you want to move
-Select custom source and destination folders
-Batch move multiple files
-Option to delete the sub folder created by Google Camera

Not at all, Live Focus is infinitely better than lens blur. Lens Blur can't detect edges for ****. The problem with Live Focus is it requires adequate lighting for good processing. Lower light tends to do about as well as lens blur, for me at least.
Also Live Focus is fantastic as generating a gradual bokeh across the ground or a wall, it's way more natural. Lens Blur can't do anything like that.

I agree that but lens blur and live focus are totally different in work. Lens blur is a good replacement for devices like S8, S7 etc.
There's a new version that supports Portrait mode, and is working on Snapdragon variants... I've tried, but can't find any setting to work.

For me, the Google app is more natural than Samsung. The Samsung looks more artificial. Check by yourself. I installed the app as in OP. No problems at all.

The GCam portrait mode doesn't require a dual camera setup, the software do the cut and blur the background.
I'm using Arnova Pixel2Mod 8.1 and works as intended, but just to clarify, portrait mode only works with faces, if you're trying to do that with an object, use the Lens Blur mode.

There is no lens blur feature in the port.

Which port?
If you're using official rom for the X4 use this port https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/.../GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta4.apk

Is it just me, or does the Google camera port for Moto x4 doesn't support portrait mode for back camera (despite having dual rear cameras)?

There's no Google camera port for the X4, in any variant.
There are hundreds of Google camera ports, many of which function in limited or mostly limited capacity on the X4, though. Portrait mode works fine with the rear camera, as well as the front camera.
These portrait shots were taken with a Google camera port on my X4. (rear cam)

Ah, but the proximity of the subject has to be more here, than in the stock camera app

Not necessarily; I don't share more personal portraits (of people) but it takes portraits well at distance, in fact, Google is on record with its philosophy of almost forcing more distance with its default 1.5x zoom in portrait mode.
I'll look at the exif/metadata and check to see what the farthest distance in my portrait shots are. Several feet, at least, in some.

You are mistaken. Unless the subject is really close to the camera and HDR is on, the portrait mode doesn't really make a difference. I tried it on a variety on subject at various distances, and the result was more or less the same.

I'm not mistaken.
You don't know what camera port/version I used - that's number one. Number two, you don't have my camera samples, number three, you don't have my exif data.
I get two pictures, one with the entire scene in focus, and another with a different focal plane. And yes, at distance. Whether or not the ports and environments you work with can reproduce those outcomes is another story. But I'm not mistaken about anything.
Max focal distance for the portrait shots I have is around 8 feet. It may go farther, it may not. That's just a quick check.

If it works, you can use, I'm using LineageOS and it's working very well.
When I was using the official rom, I was unable to use that mod, crashed everytime I opened.
Hello everyone! Before starting this article , I would like to say that this Gcam port doesn't belong to me. There are multiple developers that worked on this , i'm here just to share the link and my experience with it.
"Story" :
Anyways , I've had my P Smart for a year now, And I mostly bought it for the camera.
After using it for about 7 months , I really saw how poor the processing is on the stock camera app. So I decided to look at some solutions to my problem.
One of the main problems with the stock camera for me was the "Portrait Mode" and "Wide Aperture". They were really bad on EMUI 8.0 and they are just as bad on EMUI 9.1. And well, Here is Gcam to solve the problem
My experience with it:
I've been using this Gcam port for a while and I can say that it is amazing.
Things that work really well:
-HDR,HDR+, the zoom is waaay better
-Portrait mode works like a charm and looks very good (only works on humans, not objects)
-Video Recording (also you can easily stabilize the videos from the Google Photos app)
-Photo sphere
What doesn't work:
-Night Sight
-Slow-mo
-Panorama
-Taking a photo with no HDR
What kind of works :
-RAW ( has a really weird green tint on the pic)
Photos:
All of these photos were taken with the stock camera (Emui 9.1) and Gcam
1)Stock Camera, Normal mode, No zoom
2)GCam , HDR+ enabled, No zoom
3)Stock camera , Normal mode, Full zoom
4)GCam , HDR+ enabled ,Full zoom
As you can see , the dinamic range is way better on GCam
VERY IMPORTANT!!
Settings before you use it!
The default settings are wrong. You first need to go to "More" then "BSG settings" and then set the saturation as you like , otherwise the photos look dead
And well , here is the link Just like I said , THIS MOD DOESN'T BELONG TO ME!

Like this post if this helped ya , Have a nice day
I've been using this for a long while got it from honor 9 lite forums. Here are the settings that I use. Front camera isn't very good though always makes lights pink and even rear camera sometimes does it but I try to fix it in snapseed.
If you do have good settings for front cam let me know!

Well , the saturation settings don't really matter , it's about preference,
But I think it's some sort of glitch from the app itself, and to avoid the glitch , you always have to focus on the point where is the most light. here are my setting tho , and an example of the pink tint on my p smart
I cannot seem to get video to work, everytime I try the app just closes. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
