Google Camera Mod for OnePlus 5 (cheeseburger) and 5T (dumpling)​
1. Camera HAL Confusion
Spoiler
a. Camera HAL Basics
First, let's understand what a camera HAL is. A camera HAL is what allows a ROM to "talk to" the camera hardware; without it, the camera would be non-functional. Think of the camera HAL as the steering wheel and pedals of a car. The steering wheel/pedals allow for control of the internal components of the vehicle by providing an external interface for the driver (the ROM) to make use of the internal components.
At present, the source code of the camera HAL included in OxygenOS has not been released by OnePlus. Instead, OnePlus has compiled that source code and shipped it on the OnePlus 5/5T as a BLOB (Binary Large OBject). This has been a major setback for custom ROM developers because having access to the camera HAL source would make porting the stock OnePlus Camera to a custom ROM a much easier endeavour.
b. Camera HAL, Google Camera Mod and Root Requirements
The latest releases of the mod require you to be rooted (as you mandatorily need to install DotFix, which contains a modified camera HAL compatible with the latest releases) or the pictures that you click will come out with pink/purple/green tint on them, or will have a dotted pattern on them, or the camera might not work at all. So if you're rooted, then you're good to go. However, if you're unrooted (and prefer staying that way), then you can still use an specific version of the mod which works fine (with a few issues/restrictions, of course). All the downloads for rooted as well as non-rooted users are in the next post in the thread (post # 2).
2. Known Bugs and Workarounds
Spoiler
[Unrooted Only] Dotted Pattern Overlay
Issue - A dotted pattern overlay is visible in the HDR+ pictures (when completely zoomed in)
Resolution - You have to root, install DotFix as well as the recommended version for rooted users from point 3
[Unrooted Only] Front Camera HDR+/Portrait Mode Non Operational/Captures Distorted Pink/Purple/Green Lines
Issue - Front camera captures distorted pink/purple/green lines while using HDR+ or Portrait Mode
Resolution - You have to root, install DotFix as well as the recommended version for rooted users from point 3
[Rooted Only] HDR+ Front Camera Pictures Restricted to 4.0 Megapixels
Issue - HDR+ pictures that are clicked with the front camera are restricted to 4.0 megapixels, even though the maximum resolution of 15.9 megapixels is selected for the front camera under settings
Resolution - None available yet; details of why this is the case are mentioned in this post
[Both] Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) Non Operational
Issue - Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) doesn't work
Resolution - None available yet
[Both] DotFix Magisk Module Incompatible with Audio Mods
Issue - Some audio mods interfere with the DotFix Magisk module due to which they don't work as intended
Resolution - Uninstall the audio mods or try setting SELinux to permissive using SELinux Switch from this post of mine.

a. Important Notes
Everytime you change a settings, make sure you force-close and swipe it away from recents, and then restart the app so that the new settings are applied correctly. A sure shot way to make sure the settings have applied is to restart your phone.

Me too

The difference is insane. In all the pictures I took the Google camera came up better than stock

Solved slowmotion by modify media_profiles.xml (need to add encoder profiles)

I can see significant improvement in the pictures with this camera especially in low light. Those water color effects are gone! And yes the touch focus is not working and also the slow motion. Hope something will happen soon. Thanks to that developer who made this possible!

Can anyone explain to me how this is different from the Google Camera app in the Play Store? (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera)

My point is that the app from the Play Store has HDR too. How is that different from this (HDR+)?

Of all the times I've used the Google camera, it does not look like that. I had nexus 6p before OP5. The option for HDR should be top right. I have no idea what camera that screenshot is from.

For video mode Gcam active only 3 resolution 720p, 1080p and 4K which is not defined. tell me all the video resolutions of your device to choose the resolution not to use

i guess modify 4k to use as 2268p ? so 720p, 1080p and 4032x2268p.
2268p is better than 4k because you can use google photo's video stabilization on 2268p so it will give you stabilized 4k video.
@defcomg can help you enable 2268p on your device as well. (and many others) it needs a lib modification.

Working perfectly on Moto G5 Plus..
Thanks buddy..

does portrait mode works on moto g5 plus?

Hi @Arnova8G2, I've tried your latest mod on my Moto G5 plus (Pixel Experience 8.1.0). I've got focusing issues just like everyone else. But I managed to click some few good pictures in portrait mode(back camera) after lots of tries due to focusing issues.
Front Camera doesn't work for portrait mode. It just doesn't get clicked where as the normal front camera works but without focus.
I've attached my logcat below. If you could try to fix these issues it would be great for our G5 plus community. So far I'm in love with your mod. Thanks for making the impossible possible for us.

Fix the focussing issue @Arnova8G2 and front portrait mode too.
Thanks in advance.

For focussing issue you can disable HDR+ (via icon, not in settings) and enable Enhanced HDR+ again. Focus should work fine then.
It also applies (but not always) to portrait mode. Switch to normal mode, do a thing with disable/enable HDR+ and go to portrait mode again.
Sometimes it needs to be done more than one time. Thank you @Arnova8G2 for your work. Beside focusing issue I have one problem.
I cannot take photo withoud HDR+ (disabled via icon). When I press shutter, nothing happens. If you could do anything about it it would be great.

Beta version was working properly..plz update the apk..the portrait mode is not working.

This can work on MOTO G5 (not plus) (cedric) with LOS 15.1 ARM64?

@Arnova8G2
Thanks for all your work so far.
Here's an unfiltered log:
https://hastebin.com/gekevohopi.rb
Fresh Pixel Experience 8.1 Install on an Moto G5 Plus XT1683, running the latest 1.4 build posted above.
It seems to try to focus once, but gets "stuck" somewhere when it's zooming/focusing out. It sometimes free itself and manages to focus good enough for a few moments (even responding to touch to focus), but it gets "stuck" again shortly.
How was this log captured:
I started matlog
Pressed Home, and went back to the home screen.
Pulled up the app drawer and opened GCMod5
Allowed every permission request
Camera opened. I let it try to autofocus for a while, but it fails shortly.
I try to tap to focus, but it doesn't work
I try to snap a picture anyway, but it crashes completely saying that "The camera driver found a fatal error".
App closes
I open Matlog and pause the log.
Some notes regarding the app:
Sometimes, it seems to regain the ability to focus after shooting a pic. It doesn't always focus correctly, however.
Sometimes it allows several pictures to be taken. Sometimes it fails with an error on the first shot.
It seems to regain focusing ability if you focus on a dark place then on a bright light source, such as a monitor. This doesn't last long.
I have a feeling that you cannot fix this issue on your own, as it might be an issue with the Camera3 driver blobs on this phone or something.
Let us know about any news regarding the focusing issue. Everything else seems to work but this, which mostly breaks everything else

Hello @Arnova8G2 .I have attached the camera2 test log over here as you mentioned earlier. Hope it's going to be of help. Thank you again for helping us out.

No problem anymore, thanks for the awesome apk!

Google Camera Mods​
Hi everyone. Here is my version of Google Camera! Versions posted here are based on @miniuser123 and B-S-G so thanks to them!
First of all i'm not a developer i'm just a student of electronic engeneering that enjoys taking pics and that enjoys much more Google's Camera than Samsung's one!
I struggled a lot to make those apk working (that is == to waste time instead of studying for my courses ) beacuse i've never been into this field so don't expect anything more from me.
How to Install (Very important!)
Steps:
- Delete Gcam data app if you have a previous version of Gcam installed
- Uninstall your current version of Gcam
- From smart manager clean up the memory (YES, sometimes it's needed beacuse after i tried a lots of different verisons of Gcams i messed up something more then the app cache itself)
- Install the app and after enter to the settings menu and press back to apply the settings
- Done!
Download
Stability: Medium
v2.2 Features:
- This config works with Nexus 6 only. (Pixel config can work on our device too but it's too unstable and is always memoryleaking) I prefer a more stable verison instead of something that's half- working.
- I added in this new version over the 1.8 the [email protected] fps ability and now slowmotion works 120/240 fps
-removed google some other google app dependencies
- For now you MUST disable flash otherwise the viewfinder start to became laggy and app will memoryleak
- HDR+ and portrait mode on front camera are broken and will be broken on every version until there is a way to make it working with custom libs.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DhhRxlJTo3d7EcAl_JwrcgqLRkUCtort | Mirror
Stability: Medium
3.3 Features:
-completely remade menu
-added bitrates for videos
-hot pixels and black pixels suppression
-live hdr on front camera only
- resampling method
-fixed crash on first install
-portrait zsl (can cause instability for someone from my test works fine)
-added portrait mode with ZSL option (needs to be tested)
-autodelete folders for portrait mode
- auto set settings after first install
- some other minor changes
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qJcdzXfAV3XYA53sD7EywnVLTFJ2rCK8
still flash bug and wrong exif info
AR Stickers for Oreo

Works great on Note 9, better details, colors and dynamic range.
Using Pixel config.

For some reason, I can't download it from the fist link. Can anyone make a mirror for me please? ?

Thank you! Quality is outstanding. Starting to iron out the artifacts that other ports have too

First of all, Thanks a lot! and It works well S8 exynos.
I have a question. Why is hdr+ after processing faster on s7 than on s8?
I have both s7 and s8 exy versions, and s7 is always faster with hdr+ processing, even with the same build and same settings.
I tested almost every version of Gcams (which you made thanks! ), and in my s8 case, "Mod8.3b_IDan_v3.2.9_Exy" was the fastest version. And even in that version, s8 took longer to process hdr+ than s7.
Why is this happening? Is the processor on s8 faster and powerful than on s7? Does s9 also take 6~8 seconds to hdr+ after processing? I hope hdr+ processing will be faster like other snapdragon devices

Thank you. Processing speed slightly increased.
But It still slower.
The best setting I have found is
HDR+ parameters: low
config.HDR+ camera: Pixel 2017 ZSL
HDR+ Exposure: Slow shutter x2
HDR setting: HDR+ enhanced
The Pixel 2017 ZSL setting allows the camera to take two shots at a time(the second shot does not need to wait for HDR+ processing end). However, HDR+ after processing speed is the same.

HDR+ ON does not increase the quality of images
No processing, just captures. Like HDR ON of galaxy stock camera.

This has been discussed a lot on s8 forum. Stop spamming here non s9 related problems

You're wrong, HDR+ applies HDR processing in background. You can compare a Non HDR and a HDR+ On.
I use both HDR+ On on my S9 and Pixel 2 XL.

thanks for your work!

Thank you so much IDan for sharing this wonderful work :fingers-crossed: works really great!

Thanks for your work . Any chance of getting the flash to work properly?

After months of trying every single release of gcam that I could find on xda with loads of FC and overheating of S9+, finally @idan came to save us and enhance our camera.
Fantastic job Idan, Thanks a lot man, keep up the good work !

Does this work on Snapdragon versions? I followed the directions to the T, but I seem to be having a few issues. Portrait mode freezes on both front and back cameras, and refreshes the viewfinder every 3 seconds instead of a live preview.
I don't see an option for HDR enhanced either.
I'm not sure what the allure of the Gcam is but I wanted to try it.

portrait back cam really good on my s9+ i hope dan will not giving up on us to support this port fighting dan <3

What is Google Camera (AKA GCam)?
Google Camera is the camera app for the Google Nexus and Google Pixel phones. It is not designed or intended to be run on other phones.
What is HDR+?
HDR+ is Google's proprietary image processing routine. HDR+ employs image stacking to control exposure, and also to preserve details, reduce noise, increase sharpness, etc. It is an all-in-one package.

- Black Crush (it's actually exactly the same as on the Pixel 3 now)
- Focus Tracking is disabled on purpose (on 6.2 enabling it causes video mode to crash the app)
- Ultrawide is 12MP only (raw is saved with the full 16MP)
KNOWN BUGS:
- After using Tele camera, resolution goes down to 8MP also for main camera
- Crash if trying to access settings from other camera except main
URNYX VERSION CHANGELOG:
- Added Turkish and Greek translations
- Improved Spanish and Portuguese translations
- Slightly reduced apk size
- Vectorized some drawable icons and changed Pro/Auto button to the same style as Google's zoom button (thanks Arnova for tips and tricks)
- Fixed the problem due to which aux buttons were hidden by zoom button horizontally
- Added max brightness (thanks BSG)
FAQ GOOGLE CAM
I CAN'T INSTALL X VERSION, WHY?
Make sure you uninstall every other GCam Port on your phone. You can't have both versions installed.
HOW DO YOU SWITCH BETWEEN CAMERAS?
(6.2) Settings > Advanced > Auxiliary Camera and enable the Buttons
HOW DO YOU USE NIGHTSIGHT WITH THE DIFFERENT LENS ?
Select the lens in main mode, then switch to Night Mode
HOW DO YOU USE MANUAL FOCUS (SLIDER) ?
If you want to use it with enhanced HDR+, you need to disable focus tracking. Or else it will only work with regular HDR+.
Also the way it works is you set a focus distance, tap once into the viewfinder, then tap the shutter button.
WHY THE FRONT CAMERA IS 5MP AND BACK CAMERA 12MP ?
Selfie camera uses pixel binning, same as for the main sensor. Since camera2api implementation only delivers a 5MP raw stream (20MP/4 = 5MP because of pixel binning)
GCam can only work with what raw stream the API delivers.
HOW DO YOU TAKE PHOTOS FASTER ?
Enable HDR+ instead of HDR+ Enhanced
DOES GCAM WORK IN AOSP BASED ROMS ?
Yes

Thanks, just updated!

Awesome! Will try!

Does this phone have full support to camera2API including RAW support or does it share the same problem of MI9SE with camera raw buffer?

Honestly, for me, the best version is urnyx 5.3.015_Namok_urnyx05-1.0.
the selfie quality in night sight mode is the best I've seen. you can set Auto-correction hdr+ in Max speed so you shoot really fast and with night sight with some mindblowing results in low light conditions.
I use this version specifically for night time photos, really amazing result if you understand how to use its features.
The best result you can achieve with this one are selfies at night time with low light, you just activate night sight, flash on (lights a white screen) and hdr+ with max speed correction. Back camera night sight quality is also miles better than stock in low light condition.
Note: nigh sight is activated by touching on the square button (NS) on the bottom right corner of the viewfinder.
You can use my config XML file (attached) and place it in /sdcard/GCam/Configs. To import the config, double click on the black bottom area.

This one crashes for me a lot.
I got the latest GCam Arnova and it works with no crashes but it can only use 2 cameras at a time.
Why don't you fork the Arnova code and add an easy way to switch the 3 cameras?
The telecam is still pretty noisy in low light. I thought HDR+ would take care of that. Any settings I can try for that?

As i know the tele cam don't work in low light so it's digital zoom.

which one?

Which one what?
I have Mi 9T 128Gb.
Downloaded the apk from the link.
GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v1.6.apk

Is there any official Telegram group for MI9T GCAM development?

You are probably using the version 1.6 from the first post. Had the same problem. Try this version:
https://mega.nz/#!5zIRUaYI!DNvtFoIZgiKruUWJSRf7JywekzaBLaaBikD0shpxmC8
This is version 1.7 which works fine for me. Especially low light shots are so much better than the stock camera. Nightsight mode literally blew me away.

Adding some screenshots

Thanks mate. Just did some quick testing; seems to work flawlessly in photo mode. Will test others later.
Not sure if you're going to continue developing or not, but if so, would be awesome to see some changeable settings:
- Button to swap between f/1.5 and f/2.4 apertures
- Tone curve
- Wide front camera (not sure if this is even possible thanks to Samsung)
Appreciate it!

Is this suitable for s9plus? would the second camera be working?

@eoscylla cool bro, i wait your reply

Works well, but on my G960U *stock* model the camera preview on both front and back camera is slow, very low frame rate. Other than that, this is the best gcam that has ever worked for me.
Edit- this also includes portrait mode. I also noticed the autofocus is a bit weird when I comes to focusing on the object, it kinda jumps back and forth with the adjustment. Autofocus still functional though.

Been using on my snapdragon canadian S9 for a little while and I've had no issues. Thanks so much.

how to force the optical camera on GCam?
Thank you very much my dear, you have done an excellent job.
I have tried every way to understand the functioning of the camera with optical zoom in relation to the main sensor and discovered what determines the activation of camera 2x are the luminosity conditions, however did some tests to check a hypothesis.
The first test comprised obstructing the main sensor with applied zom 2x in the application of native camera and in an instant the optic sensor was triggered even with low luminosity.
The second test was to use the dynamic focus, therefore sensor 2x always remains worked without adding or decreasing the zoom.
My hypothesis is if it would be possible independent software hardware would be able to alternate from the main sensor for the sensor with optical zoom 2x, but esssa hypothesis is no logic, because the way dynamic focus force the use of optical sensor, then software yes can control the secondary sensor.
My question is; Is it possible that the Gcam forces the use of the sensor with optical zoom 2x, and that can be used it independently as an auxiliary camera?

The app says "No Storage Found" when clicking in the dark area to install the XML. Any ideas?
