I installed the app. It is mostly unusable due to crashes. Bt when it works photos are flawless.

I have 3.4b installed, works better, no crashes, more configuration options available.

3.Change to Rear Camera
it will work but its annoying :silly:

is available in newest version saving photos to sd card?

Hi,
I've been using this for a 3 days now and it is pretty awesome! Thank you so much! Photos are way better than any modded cameras out there.
The only thing I've been struggling to fix now is the slow motion. It says "can't connect to the camera". I've tried basic fixes out of YouTube and tried flashing some fixes I found on the internet -esp. here in XDA but I am still out of luck.
I am 99% complete now on this camera, just the slow motion isn't working. I am using Xiaomi Redmi 4x running Resurrection Remix 5.8.5-20170929-santoni-Final
I surely will wait for your help.
Thanks in advance!
BTW, I'm a new member.

Are you using magisk root? Uninstall the stock camera first via any system app remover. Secondly, Try flashing camera 2 api module. Then download the modded camera on this thread. Works for me (except slow motion and 60fps video -but fix will be coming soon as per dev.)

Autofocus also works if you force HDR+
The version from OP completely breaks AF.

As in, you don't need 2 rear or 2 front cameras for the bokeh effect, since it can be done in software.

Thank you brother. I can finally use this phone as my daily driver. Stock MIUI and camera are pure Garbage. This Camera mod combined with RR rom makes me comfortable enough to leave my Pixel 2 xl at home. Thanks again.

[New][Stable] Google Camera Mod with HDR+ & Portrait

There are a lot of versions of Google Camera Mod floating around on XDA forums for obvious reason - there's no single version that works just fine on all phones.
It also means that not everyone has the patience to test out every version, with every possible configuration. But fortunately, I've found a stable version among all these hundreds of these after trying many of them from different sources.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Update: Mar-2019
Current version (stable):
Pixel 3 Google Camera (based on version 6.1) by san1ty
This is the most recent and stable version available now based on the feedback of many users.
Archived:
Download
Older version (stable): Pixel2MOD V6 Download
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mods by @[B]Arnova8G2[/B]
This thread will be updated whenever a newer version with same/better stability is found (by anyone).
( For a full comparison of the photo quality, stability notes and suggested settings - you can read the article on it )

This works on almost all 8.0+ ROMs as long as they have Camera2 API support and are 64bit builds. Make sure you're ROM meets these requirements.

I use Pixel Experience ROM. Usually when I install a new GCAM it sits along the one provided on the ROM, but when I installed the new minimal version it seems to have overwritten it. Version is 5.2.025

I'm running LineageOS 15.1 and when I'm playing music on Spotify, if I go to take a picture with this camera it will stop Spotify. This only happens with HDR on. I'm assuming this is due to it having to use all the phone resources to process the HDR photo? The load time takes quite a while for the HDR photos too, and sometimes it will just keep loading forever when I try to view the photo.
The HDR-off mode of this camera also doesn't work well. The picture it takes just glitches out at times and is splotchy looking.

gcam minimal is the most stable I have used.

I think it's because of the microphone usage by both apps.

Yes, because both of these mods are Arnova8G2's and use same package name.

Pixel 3 Camera Port Crashes

I recently updated my mi a2 to android pie and install ed Magisk . Then enabled camera2api via buildprop editor. The Arnova pixel 2 camera port work flawlessly but whenever I tried to launch any pixel 3 camera port it crashes after 3 second.
I tried every pixel 3 camera port and same thing happens everytime.
I need help so that I can use the night sight feature.

It is due to MI A2 has Dual Camera and In android Pie there is new featured called Multi-Camera API which enables to manufacture to make available other camera sensor to use in other third party apps .
Thus this had added Line in prop that States
"persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=1"
This line add camera 's Vendor file from vendor image/files to support Multi-Camera API from manufacturer's propitiatory camera files.
But this implementation of Vendor partition is not proper similar to Treble Support .There are optimisation problems both ways Application(GCam,ETC) point of view and GSI Rom point of view.

In the Carbon PIE ROM for 6X/A2, pixel 3 camera works fine, with night sight too. Xiaomi messed up something in settings... Even older pixel 2 versions are working worse than on other ROMs. Image quality on gcam ports are worse than stock cam on PIE update... Shame...

So I guess there is no way to fix this crash in stock pie rom

Not yet.

Interesting, when I have edited build.prop in root\vendor, saved and rebooted, after reboot in build.prop there was no line I have added. So, it is reverting to original after rebooting. Also, I have replaced media profiles in vendor\etc , and after reboot they reverted to stock, wtf?

@Mr.Nice.ba, I'm on PIE stable, enabled camera2 with setprop commands and gcam mod from OREO is working like it should, even 4K with stabilisation is working.
Arnova v8.3b1
All v6 of gcam mods are crushing, but I did not used them in OREO neither.

That version is working for me too, but that gave me worst results than stock camera, not even close to Carbon Pie Rom + Pixel 3 camera, not even close...
Edit: mind sharing your in app settings. For me iso is always too high compared to stock cam, because of that photos have more noise.

After searching minnuss's thread I added the following codes in buildprop editor

"persist.vendor.camera.stats.test=5"

Any recommended camera app? I'm using MIUI 10.1 with hedge cam 2 but max the shutter speed appears as 15213" instead of 90".
Is it the way it's supposed to be or a miui/camera app problem?
