HDR+ on OnePlus 3t to make its camera better than OnePlus 5 in low light

I know there are many posts on XDA about HDR+ on oneplus 3T, but I can't understand why oneplus 3 can't support HDR+ , but Moto z can support it successfully(which has a a very inferior device as compared to 3t). I know our device has everything which is required for HDR+. Please I request you all to try all methods to make HDR+ working. It will be a huge huge improvement in our 3t camera and make it comparable to pixel or even s8 camera in low light. I know our device has a great potential even in camera department but necessary software processing is not available to utilise great hardware. I am not rooted and not knowledgeable about developing. You can try spoofing app to think it work on pixel/nexus 6p/5x or make modified Google camera app or do anything which make HDR+ working. We already have lens blur on Google cam which is working great for me for both front and back camera. Only low light performance of this device is not good as compared to nexus 6p of my friend only when HDR+ on, but in all scenerio the camera of my 3t rocks if HDR+ off on nexus 6p. Developer guys do help me. Also it will make oneplus 3t camera very comparable to OnePlus 5 / pixel/ s8 / iPhone 7 or even better in few terms. Do please do help it will be great for all OnePlus 3t users.?

I think it's not impossible different sensor with different pixel size in pixel and Nexus phones

Nope I don't think same because HDR+ works taking multiple shots at different exposer and combining in one by involving multiple process and producing a brighter and clear image at low light and great dynamic range. Yeah I agree pixel size and sensor are different but it can make difference in picture quality and not agree with HDR+ is not possible because it's software based not hardware and if so chooser is same for processing pictures

It is possible!

Tried link the first one. Works great thanks

Even though the hdr+ option is there, there is no processing. It does not show the processing message, and the picture is not good quality.
Freedom os 14 (OB12 unrooted)

Oneplus 3T will receive Android 8.0 in 2017. Hope they will do it in official update

Can somebody with a 7.1.2 based rom check if hdr+ processing is working or not?

Is it me or is there not much difference in hdr+ in this camera and normal hdr on the OnePlus camera?

There is no post processing, so hdr+ is not doing anything.

I can confirm not working in 7.1.2. Tried it on the latest RR and Pheonix AEX. The option is there but as others mentioned, there is no processing after the shot.

Here's a camera with HDR +. You do not need to make any changes to build.prop. Install as usual apk.
In the settings camera you set HDR + works constantly and turn off the flash!!!
Please search GCam_4.4.012.156195200-41155109_MI5S_MIUI_7.0_N5X.apk (I can not send a download link because there are no 10 posts, Write to me and I will send a link in a personal)

Are you running OOS 3.1.6 or a OOS Beta?
On the latest Beta 21 I noticed that the app sometimes hangs for quite a while and seems frozen.
It sometimes force closes too, while still saving the last photo. HDR+ works fine though.

Somebody with the apk, please link it here!
Thanks!

Can anyone test if this gcam works well on x2 pro

I am about to purchase this phone, but counting on the use of GCAM because the native of these Chinese does not always do a good job, today I saw that the parrot has released an AWB support version for samsung sensors present on this phone. Can anyone test and tell me if this version really works on the phone?

This is quite good. Does he have any recommendations for settings?

Can you post some samples against the native? Configs it's activate hdr+ and use 32 frames in advanced settings and setting the pixel awb mod to Samgun GW1

For a first test, everything is working except the slow motion. It forces closing.

Can't install it (global rom)
Edit : work after uninstall gcam 6.1...
- can't select more than 26 frames HDR+ enhanced (with more, no photo)
- can't use "sabre" (crash)
- you can select awb Samsung but I can't see better quality with it.
Finally, I prefer 6.1 gcam at this time

Can you show some samples of this two version of gcam and the native, it's good to our see the results and compare.

Here you go
1st photos of each is the gcam, 2nd is stock
Gcam has hdr enhanced
Stock is aldo hdr

I find the gcam to produce much more accurate colours to what i see in real life. And has better depth. Whereas the stock tries to smooth out everything

The problem with Gcam is that currently it works only for the main camera and the front one...

This gcam is not very good for x2 pro. The photos are very bland and all color, saturation and others options do nothing when you change it.

Hi,
Can't find any GCAM that support tele and wide lens...
Hope that the Indian Release will give visibility to this awesome device.

i made a few pictures with both apps. just my summary:
1.xiaomi has better dynamic range, or in other words, brighter shadow.
2.xiaomi's color is more accurate. gcam has a cold color tone to it.
3.gcam is somewhat shaper without the weird sharpening effect.
4.gcam removes fringing a lot better, on edge of big color shift of two objects (tree vs sky, black bottle vs white background), it has a clear boundary, xiaomi is more murky-looking.
5.overall gcam exposure is a tad lower than xiaomi's.
6.gcam only has 1x and 2x, no wide angle. for potrait, it has 1x and 1.3x, picture seems to have very bad exposure.
7.all pictures were taken indoors, so i haven't compared the outdoor pictures.
i wouldn't switch.

Always find mi cam exposure half a stop overexposure....even more so at highlighted area that hdr fail to control sometime. And their awb is always wrong under warmer lighting condition. But there are more Gcam mod to try out. But I do notice...some Gcam mod had that weird green tint to white color background.
Anyone came across a better Gcam port...do share

I agree after testing out a few mode...the color are more contrasty using Gcam. But only so marginally ....

Can anyone post comparison shots ?

1. Better HDR ? That's strange. However if it's just that the shadows are underexposed with gcam, that's somethign you can fix in the settings. Gcam is tuned for the imx363, obviously it's going to need some tweaks to work well on the gn2.
2. Make sure you have AWB on.
5. Again, exposure can be tweaked. Right now BSG has one of the most versatile, easily tweakable mods.
6. This you need to inform the devs about. Gcam is only acessing one sensor here, and digitally cropping 2x. But you can probably access both the 0.5 and 5x lenses as well. If the devs can make Sabre work on them this will lead to much better detail on both these lenses.

Thank you
Updated his version:
- Version without blacklist (for 8k and super resolution tests)
- 8K for devices with a 48MP sensor and a recent SOC or more 12GB of ram memory
- HDR10 video only for recent devices
- Super resolution in raw for oneplus device (7 and 8 series for moment)
- Super resolution in jpeg for all devices, similar to stock camera ( works on portrait on many devices )
- Attention changes have been made risk of bug with the xmls of the previous version.
So you have 50/48MP JPEG ONLY on Portrait Mode, things need to be fixed and probably RAW might need Root and Magisk. Thats why it was important to {Mod edit}

I tested the latest Gcam Version Snap_Gcam_6.1Beta.210708.1750build-8.1.101 on my Mi 11 Ultra. It works great, Congratulations Arnova!!
When you open the app it shows 3 buttons 0,6x 1x 5.2x. The 0.6x and 1x lens works perfectly. Only the Tele lens 5.2x generate only a 640x480 picture. So obviously the 5x Tele lens is not activaed yet. Is it possible to fix this?

It has fixed the quality / speed of the picture rendering -- during scolling & zooming of a picture (subway map) I have seen pixelated / blurred areas (for > 1sec) and I thought it's a camera problem. But when I used another gallery app, it was pixelated only for maybe 0.5sec and then it got perfectly sharp.
I mean it's not Windows so it doesn't show you the icon (when the app is busy and the user should wait) -- so I was not sure whether the app is busy rendering or not.

I noticed camer on the redmi is not as good as the camera on my MiA2. I am hoping gcam will fix that but I will have to use the stock camera app sometimes for pro mode.

I have noticed the "auto" picture with gcam is way better than the auto setting on the stock app. Using the pro mode on the stock app though I can get a more realistic picture by adjusting white balance etc manually but the image still isn't as crisp as gcam. Night mode on gcam is amazing too.
Can't seem to get the 50mp to work on gcam so can't compare that. I use the 50mp feature to take pictures of signs or large blocks of text, I can definitely get better clarity when zooming in but I wouldn't call it a great looking picture. Luckily that isn't why I bought the phone.

The camera doesn't knock out true 50mp photos , they pixels are arranged in groups of 4 so 4 small ones make up one bigger one hence the 12.5mp photos . 50mp photos are just enlarged 12.5 ones really . And You may notice a lot of versions of gcam are knocking out 8mp photos too , try the version I posted in the gcam thread with the XML ( it's got an agc extension for some reason ) . It produces 12.5s and it's the sharpest gcam I've seen yet , although white balance is a bit off it can easily be corrected in Snapseed
And tbh I'm starting to think this phone is a dog , phone call volume seems pretty low compared to my old x3 NFC . That with the Bluetooth audio dropouts , crappy camera .. only good thing about it is the screen lol

I am happy for now, aside from the camera it's still an upgrade from my MiA2 and it cost me less than a decent dinner in a restaurant.
