[APP][PORT][Repost] Google Camera port for LG G5 Normal & Wide Angle (by cstark27)
cstark27 said:
NOTE: I am not a developer but I have tried my best to create a port that has most of the basics working on my LG V30. I cannot promise I can fix any bugs for other devices but if I have time, I can try to look into some. This version is based off Scrubber's [4PDA] and uses information I've learned from using and looking at Arnova8G2's, BSG's and others versions. All their work is much appreciated and is the only thing that makes this possible.
NOTE: This is how the V30's Camera ID's are laid out. My normal lens app uses ID 0 and 1. My wide lens app uses ID 1 and 2.
Camera 0 "LENS_FACING_BACK"
Camera 1 "LENS_FACING_FRONT"
Camera 2 "LENS_FACING_BACK" (wide angle)
I cannot guarantee success on other devices, especially if the phone does not even report all cameras through the Camera2 API (use Camera2Test app to verify your device info). If you are on LineageOS, please consult your dev to see if they can alter the camera ID's to properly match LG stock roms, if my version does not work.
Working on my V30: Optical Image Stabilization; Front/Rear/Wide HDR+ ZSL & Enhanced; Front/Rear/Wide Portrait Mode; Front/Rear/Wide 1080p 30fps video; will test other functions later but the menus work
My normal version should work fine on devices that have a decent Camera2 API support. Snapdragon Galaxy S8, Note 8, Nokia 6, Nokia 8, Essential PH-1, HTC U11, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cstark27 v3.6
If you have issues, Clearing App Data is recommended. Open "Camera"> Settings>About>View App Settings Page>Storage>Clear Data
LG G6 Lineage users can use the toggle in the wide angle APK to fix their camera ID issue. You must force close the app.
-Added 5 Exposure Time settings for Adaptive Shutter Speed. "Super Slow" is the same as V3.5. "Very Slow" is about 2x faster and so on and so forth. On my phone "Slow" is not actually Slow and matches normal HDR+ Enhanced speed. But it may change depending on device so I left it.
-Normal APK: Save HDR+ choice after going into Settings (credit Miniuser123)
-Organized Settings>Advanced by grouping all HDR+ Enhanced stuff into a section. Changed a couple strings so they'd be translated to other languages.
-Skip Color Fix if Adaptive Shutter is enabled
-Removed Slow Motion menu item unless you have a LG G5, G6, V20, or V30. BUT, you can enable it in Settings>Experimental.
-Wide APK: Change HDR+ Config to Taimen so ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag) is back, but I've defaulted HDR+ to Enhanced. This won't change until you clear app data or go into settings though.
-Wide APK: Remove Slow Motion menu item
2 Separate APK's (download both, they do not require each other though so you can use a different normal lens version if you want):
Download standard rear + front cam: cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.6
Download wide rear + front cam: cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_wide_v3.6
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no model or config to set, you should be good to go after installing. But here is the setup:
-Normal Lens APK Config:
--LG G6
---Rear Model: Nexus 6 (shamu), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
--All other devices
---Rear Model: Pixel 2 XL (taimen), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
-Wide Lens APK Config:
--LG G6
---Rear Model: Nexus 6P (angler), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
--LG G5, V20, V30
---Rear Model: Pixel 2 XL (taimen), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
Previous Versions:
cstark27 v3.5
-Clearing App Data is recommended. Open "Camera"> Settings>About>View App Settings Page>Storage>Clear Data
-Added Advanced>HDR+ Enhanced Portrait Mode : This forces Portrait Mode to use HDR+ Enhanced which will offer better dynamic range but you lose Zero Shutter Lag (Thanks Arnova8G2 for this cool trick)
-Added Advanced>HDR+ Enhanced Adaptive Shutter Speed : This is the Slow Shutter mod from miniuser123. I would say this is "beta" for LG devices. I know on my V30 some tuning is needed to the parameters but I want your guys feedback first. It only affects HDR+ Enhanced. The shutter speed will slow down the darker your scene is. You probably want a tripod or something to prop your phone against, for best sharpness. In normal lighting the shutter speed seems to be the same as before so I don't think it would be a negative to leave this on - but it's your choice and needs testing.
-Added LG G6 Lineage Camera ID Fix toggle to Wide Angle APK so there shouldn't need to be separate Lineage builds for G6 anymore
-Optimizations courtesy of Arnova8G2
cstark27 v3.4
-Added Lens Blur Mode on side menu
-Added Advanced>LG G6 Color Fix from cstark27 v3
-Removed Zero Shutter Lag option from Wide Angle due to issue with very over-exposed highlights. Will be brought back when this issue is fixed.
-Removed Disable ZSL toggle as it did not fix anything and caused more problems
cstark27 v3.1 standard and v3.2 wide
-JPEG quality increased to 98% by default
-Removed LG G6 Color Fix option hoping the model change fixes their color issues (you may Delete Data of the app)
-HDR+ Parameters moved to Advanced menu
cstark27 v3 wide angle beta 1 (with LG G6 LineageOS patch)
-Separate APK based off cstark27 v3
-Fix front camera crash
-Change "config" to Nexus 6P (ZSL on the wide angle does not process HDR+ currently, so this ensures the user always gets HDR+ processing)
cstark27 v3 wide angle alpha
-Separate APK based off cstark27 v3
-ALPHA version of wide angle support
cstark27 v3
-fix G6 video (and probably other Android 7.0 devices) thanks to Arnova8G2
-add LG G6 Color Fix option under advanced thanks to Arnova8G2
cstark27 v2.1
-EXIF fix, thanks Arnova8G2
-Enable HDR+ toggle by default
-Uncheck camera:use_photos by default to increase stability (turn back on and test if you want. Enabling this makes it use Google Photos.)
-Uncheck camera:enable_micro by default to increase stability (turn back on and test if you want. Enabling this enables Motion Photos for Oreo only(?)
cstark27 v2
-fixed video on Pixel configs for LG V30
cstark27 v1
-based off Scrubber's APK
-forced model of front camera to Nexus 6P for proper HDR+ Processing and color (thanks BSG)
-rear model is set to Taimen
As always, thanks to Scrubber (whose APK I started with), Arnova8G2, BSG.

I'm on a G5, and my camera crashes when playing with lens blur on the back lens. Any ideas on how to fix it? I did clear the data as you suggested.

I have no problem with mine with the normal and wide lens apps. Try un-installing both apps and do a clean up of the phone with a phone cleaner, then re-install both apps.

I don't know what you mean by a "clean up" app but after running Power Clean or whatever it's called my camera still crashes.

That's what I meant, then I have no idea what's causing this.
The last solution might be to reset your phone to factory.
Go check on the original topic if anyone as the same issue.

no because google's phones doesn't have sd card so google have only the option to store it in internal storage.
I don't know if a developer can change this from within the code without creating bugs and crashes
Has anybody successfully installed and used AR stickers on the G5? tried many times with multiple apks but so far no success
Sadly doenst work on G5 SE (looks like there's no Gcam that works with it), but works really great on mine Zenfone 3!!! Thanks very much!!! I didnt like the photo preview from portrait pictures compared to Arnova, but now I have HDR+ working which is awesome!!!
Hi. I am using this apk of cstark WITHOUT ROOT and the photos look amazing. The only problem I have is that I can not record at 1080p 60fps even if I select that quality. will it be because I have to activate the camera 2 api?
Although it says that it's been tested on an LG G5, when attempting to install onto my LG G5 SE it says that it's incompatible.
(Downloaded only the standard APK due to network connectivity issues)
Hey guys,
My main rear camera is broken and I was wondering if my default camera can be changed to the wide-angle lens, because the wide angle lens works fine. The phone is a Moto X4 and it has a dual rear camera set up.
So my question is:
Could I maybe modify the default rear camera ID in the Camera2 api?
Or is there a build prop flag that I can modify that changes the default rear camera to the wide angle lens?
Add this line on the build.prop and perhaps you'll be able to use the wide angle.

Guys I have tried a few versions of Google Cam and found a working version from celsoazevedo gcam portal.
The google cam version is 6.1 and works perfectly in emui 9.1 except night sightand portrait mode.
[MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v4.4.apk ]
* Working - photo, video, photo sphere(to replicate wide angle images), lens blur, raw images, hdr+(its enabled but not too sure if works perfectly)
* Not Working - Night sight, Portrait (need to check configuration)
** make sure to change viewfinder format to YUV_420_888 and disable motion photo (if camera crashes after any changes and shows black screen restart phone and change config)
** Base config- back camera Pixel 3XL
Front camera Pixle 2XL
config Pixel2018 HW Zsl HDR
Great tip, FYI NightSight can work (not crash) if you enable Advanced->FIXES->Buffer fix....BUT it doesn't actually capture a picture
I can see a difference when I enable 36 frames for HDR+ else....not that much.
Also, the secondary back mono camera is never used

yeah even I realized the HDR+ mode has only a slight difference even with 36 frames, unfortunatly the mono cam cannot be used just used only by the emui cam
Is there anyway to use the full 20mp in front facing camera.. All gcam takes default 5mp by pixel binding.. also flash didn't work like stock... It acts like a torch while capturing photo

i am using miui 12 pie and both stock and gcam are working at the same time .....
both have their advantages....
1. gcam uses pixel binning ( combining ) them
_so your camera is not really using 5mpx ..it is using max pixels merged into a 5mpx output_
_this might give you a good or better looking photo than some 20mpx sensors on some phones
_people use gcam because of Google's theoretical excellence in processing photos *** therefore better photos than stock ... because if you feel.stock has better photos than there is no argument for using gcam
2. gcam mods which allow you to choose to manually force the gcam to use the secondary ( aux ) exist ...you can use it in combo with magisk modules
_dont expect a giant leap in photo quality since our aux sensor is for low light ...and was never meant not even by Xiaomi to act as the main shooter
_stock camera changing between sensors automatically while in gcam.you will. have to.do.it manually _
_VERY IMPORTANTLy ...our aux sensor is NOT api2 compliant only our main sensor ...as per Xiaomi ...so Xiaomi needs to fix that if it can be fixed....that is why our phone isn't released with api2 enabled..
Options:
1. Use magisk module in stock rom to get stock camera
2. Use stock rom to use miui 12 pie to get both stock and gcam working at the same time
3. Use gcam with aux sensor select button in settings to activate it manually in custom rom
4. buy a jasmine or wayne device and donate it to gcam.modder or dev stating your wish that he/she fixes it so it runs how you feel.it should run
I'm pretty certain this info is old and if you looked you'd find all the magisk modules and gcams and mods and info floating around ...
go check out the official gcam mods page for devs working on cams for our device and try them.all to find the one you like best and maybe give them.a small donation
try out the stock cam magisk module to see if it works correctly on custom rom
failing that just your miui with magisk to have it all.
Stock makes great depth of field photos imho
Gcam takes richer photos in general like but if you aren't careful you might run in oversaturation ..more options
_you can enable arcore and ar stickers by magisk mod and using patched playground from gcam mods page
This doesn't seem to be a GCam issue... All camera apps just see 5MP for the front and secondary back camera. It's probably an internal issue with Camera2Api?

Love this version, but I can't seem to find how to turn on the 3x3 grid, it helps me a lot to take good pics. Also, pics sometimes have too much contrast with this config (main lens) and the pics on the wide angle lens are too noisy.

The grid cam be found if you go to settings/general settings (first option)
And unfortunately the quality of the wide angle camera isn't great to begin with and if i wanted to decrease the noise the picture will become unnatural and not that good

Oops, don't know how I missed the grid option, thanks! Damn that sucks about the wide camera, but yeah, I figured. Thanks!
why would u need DCI-P3 or AdobeRGB or anything other than sRGB?
sRGB is best option for JPEGs. If u don't believe me - ggl it. AdobeRGB, for example, will use same 256 gradations but map it to different colors. Those "colors" will be outside of normal sRGB spectrum in which most displays work. What u will get is less gradations and more banding of regular sRGB colors.
Thank you very much! I had a problem with the latest update and ended up bringing it to the Samsung repair service. My old gcam wont work the way it used to. This one takes photos a little slower than 7.3 (?) but still good quality photos. I really appreciate it!
