Working Google Camera HDR+ - Sony Xperia X Themes, Apps, and Mods

Saw the request for a working GCam setup for the X and I wanted to share this one works well for me. Nothing higher than 1080 60fps (edit: nope 30fps only) video and likely some other limitations but it's a simple APK so try it out. The HDR+ works, of course with some delay but it’s a decent compromise IMO.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291676705
The source was a reddit post from almost a year ago. Search in /r/android for “latest modified google camera”.
The settings that best work for (haven’t tried them all) are:
Model: Nexus 6
Configure camera: Nexus6 HDR+ auto
HDR+ burst frame count: 8 (Nexus 6)
Everything else at their defaults.
Be sure to close the app completely and reopen to try the settings. It’s way better than the AOSP camera. I tested this on my Xperia X on OmniRom 8.1.0-20180812 with MicroG (no google services).

Hm, so can you confirm that you can capture [email protected] video on a custom 4.4 based ROM?

Hm got me there. Thought it was 60fps but nope only 30fps.

I thought so. Anyways, thanks for the cam setup, hope it'll help anybody!

Crashes on launch, stock 8.0. I'm guessing Omni has Camera2 enabled?

Eait why doesn't this work oncother xoeria phones, does xperia x nit use a modified api?

How to Copy Google Pixel Camera algorithm & Software into Xiaomi mi 5s?

Is it possible to copy the algorithm of Google pixel camera and install it in Xiaomi mi 5s? Because both have exactly same sensors. As I have seen the reviews of Xiaomi mi 5s, there is a room for improvement in the software. Specially night shots need improvement. So is there any way to copy pixel's algorithm and software into mi 5s?
At this point? Probably not.
In the future? Who knows, I hope so too...
We might (or might not) need to copy some libraries from pixel's system image, and probably must use the included google camera (which requires android 7.0 for now...)

Why not replace the crappy dual camera of 5s plus with dual imx378? Is it possible? I am really curious to do something with these phones.

Not possible because of so many things...
- There's likely no drivers for IMX378 included in the kernel/system by xiaomi for Mi5s Plus
- You must have to somehow find dual IMX378 module with the same pin configuration as the original one for it to even turn on (won't work if there's no driver for it though...)

It would be redundant, the 5s plus uses a normal sensor with a monochrome sensor, similar to P9, and this allows (should) better lowlight, and higher dynamic range, however from samples I've seen, Xiaomi has not implemented it very well. They would have been better off with one 378 sensor, as that is currently one of the best mobile sensors
Man I think the original idea is ask about how we can get the eis and quality photos video from pixel to the mi5s small who carrier the same sensor.
How get software from pixel to mi5s (pixel too expensive), I want use the Xiaomi mi5s small with cm14 and Google pixel software/library features camera

Yes, and I think I've already answered that. Pixel runs android 7.1, Mi5s runs 6.0, you can't get the camera app that comes with pixel to run on mi5s, and if you manage to backport that to android 6.0, what if it needs some library, can you make sure that it is can run on android 6.0, while it is built for android 7.1?
Moreover, I found out the hard way that Mi5s did not specify it's HFR modes, so the latest Google Camera that is compatible with android 6.0 won't run at all. Except if you turn the HFR functionality off, by adding this line to your build.prop:
Code:
persist.camera.hal3hfr.enable=0
I don't know if this bug comes from xiaomi, or xiaomi.eu (as I am running xiaomi.eu's ROM right now), and I don't know if it's gonna be fixed in the future.
You're welcome to pursue this idea, but keep that things in mind
Since Google's HDR+ is so good in low light, has anyone tried alternative 3rd party apps that use image stacking to improve low light IQ ( Better Camera and Snap HDR Cam low light modes come to mind)
I am interested in this phone because of the price and sensor and would like an HDR+ alternative.
Has anyone tried those apps? Thanks
Try cortex camera, it basically is the best app at stacking images.

Hi, thanks for the information about google camera. Any possibility that we can have settings like manual iso, or hdr (just normal hdr) ? Is it exclude to nexus devices, I mean after hacking still? How about the snapdragon camera, it seems that we need caf kernel, but maybe it's working after adding this line?

That's true, I'm just curious if google has better post processing (now I think an app won't change much) If apps can't change, is it possible to copy the drivers from pixel, if the sensors are the same? Meanwhile, we don't have iso 50 (although maybe the native iso is 100, so 100 might be better than 50). Freedcam seems to be able to enable eis on camera api 1, but it crashed a lot, and it's api 1. Now I'm confused which is the best choice. I'm using snap camera, but there's no long exposure like the stock camera (up to 32s, I think it's a stack of photos). Sorry I asked a lot, but it seems that you are an expert . Last question, the stock camera in manual mode, the preview never changes while changing iso/shutter speed. In other apps, it got very slow when the shutter is long (1/3 s). I wonder if this is because imx 378 is very powerful and generating large data, or it's MIUI‘s bug?

I guess Google's HDR+ algorithm is the only great thing the Pixel has we don't besides that fact they don't have long exposure so they can't take as good night pics as us.
In camera 1 Api we can go all the way to 60 sec, although stock libs limited at 32 sec which is fine. Also we do have ISO 50 on FreeDcam API 2, I think I have a specially built FreeDcam by @defcomg who sorted it out. I'll ask him if I he or I can post it here.
Also Quallcomm seemed to mess up the camera libs recently and max exposure on cam 2 api is only around 5 sec.
But I suggest you to experiment with Snap and FreeDcam, I use FreeDcam for long exposures and low light shots. And I use snap camera in the day time. I have denoise and ZSL forced off for both of them.
The preview should get slow and laggy on cam 2 api but stay the same on Cam 1 api

I tried freedcam with 50 iso, but the photo actually got iso 100 still. You can also set iso 50 in snap camera, which still outputs 100.
Turn ZSL (0 lag?) is better for HDR? I heard a saying that ZSL is not as good as longer hdr, which is software implementation.

When zsl is enabled you can't have manual controls, so that's why I disable it. But also try in FreeDcam (cam 1) to set shutter speed and leave ISO on auto and see, it's possible to get up to 0 ISO.

cam 1 you mean Camera api 1? It crash a lot (every time I touch to focus, or use exposure longer than 1/3s ). I couldn't got iso lower than 100. Do I need to use hdr mode to get this or any mode as long as I set iso to auto and a long shutter?
hdr+ is out for mi5s

Camera app with HDR+ enabled

Hi all -- When I purchased a Moto Z late last month, I was excited about the device's performance but blind to the fact that I was going to lose the HDR+ camera mode that I had become so accustomed to with my Nexus 6.
This got me working on some potential solutions -- and after decompiling the Camera NX app posted on chromloop.com, I was able to change some settings that enable full HDR+ photography on the Moto Z. So if any of you are craving being able to take photos with Google's HDR+ mode, here is a modified APK that will allow you to do so: http://www.mediafire.com/file/l8num4lyw05vybt/Camera4-hdrplus.apk
I have been using it for several weeks on my Moto Z, and I can confirm that the HDR+ images come out looking much better than those taken with the stock camera app or even the same modified Camera NX app with HDR+ disabled. It's slightly buggy (low-light images are only occasionally not saved) but a great solution for any Moto Z users afflicted with the Nexus blues. This should also work on other devices with equivalent Camera2 API support; if you are wondering whether it will work, just try it -- if HDR+ images are successfully captured, your device supports the needed API calls.
Can you enable RAW capture and manual control?
Hello, I installed the camera application, but when I go to slow motion mode, App crashes. Any solution?
Will this be continually developed?
Because this is a wonderful addition. Just needs some bug fixes and it'll be seriously golden.

I'm afraid that ongoing development of this app might be challenging, as I'm no expert in modifying decompiled apps, which this is (as the official Nexus/Pixel camera app is closed source). The extent of my modifications, believe it or not, was to return a constant boolean value of "true" for a function that checks whether a device is a Nexus 6P -- so the app enables HDR+ as the app is hard-coded to enable all functions available on Nexus 6P devices. It just happened to be very lucky that HDR+ is supported! -- I'm not so optimistic about being able to enable slow motion video, RAW capture, or manual control, but I will keep those in mind next time I have more time to work on this.

Thank you so much for this. I see a big difference with HDR+. I've had the Nexus 6P and Pixel, I know how great HDR+ is. It's sad that Google closed source their app.
Let us know if you can enable RAW, because HDR+ takes 3 RAW photos for the composition, so theoretically RAW is supported by the app.
This is awesome! So far with just a little experimenting today with a Force, I can see the difference. I look forward to testing it further.

This is incredible! How did you figure out how to bypass the checks and actually enabled the hdr+? Google never open sourced this so how were you able to get it to work? Many have tried to get hdr+ but failed.
Today's testing was outside and yielded mixed results. I'll continue to experiment.

I created a little album on Google Photos demonstrating the difference between regular shots, the stock app's HDR mode and HDR+. They are shot in that order but I have put them in the description in order to aid identification. Differences can be subtle but often, they are very dramatic.
If you need to know, my variant is an unlocked standard Moto Z running Android 7.0 that's also rooted. It also has a 1/3" 13MP Sony IMX214 with 1.12-micron pixels and an f/1.8 aperture. Pretty sure the Force will do better since it has a larger sensor at 1/2.4". Regardless, HDR+ makes a significant enough difference that it has become my main camera app. If I still had my Note 7, I'd be drooling right now.

Thanks for sharing this. I've done something similar with the Force camera.. It's a mixed bag to me. Often HDR+ did a better job with the sky, but often its shots were too dark to me. I've seen a bigger difference with indoor shots.
Thanks for the sharing. Hope moto can implement HDR+ to its own camera app.

Yeah, the 6p and pixel both exhibit the same thing, most of the the time their shots are going to look darker (if you compare them side by side to other phones)

You know, I wonder if this works with the Hasselblad mod.
I've always thought that the issues with the Hasselblad camera are software-related since the sensor is likely the same one from the 6P. If HDR+ and better processing can save it, color me impressed.

Discussion on new 64bit releases

I'm curious as to everyone's thoughts on the advent of 64bit ROMs on the G5 Plus. I know a lot of users here have been interested in getting their hands on these ROMs.
Generally, what do owners think will be some of the advantages and disadvantages of using 64bit ROMs on our phone, both now and in the future?
If you currently are running a 64bit ROM, are you enjoying it and do you find it to be better than 32bit?

Flattered that you think I'd know, but I'm still on the stock rom and using this blasted 32-bit version with unreliable focus from the nexus. I'm interested in 64-bit ROMs only because I've read that other users have it working more-or-less flawlessly. @defcomg, for example, has posted all kinds of wonderful shots here and on flickr / photography forums, and despite coming up with one of the best modifications for the stock camera app (see his chromatix mod to remove the ugly sharpening and NR), claims that HDR+ is the way to go now.
I just assumed the major x64 versions floating around all worked. I've heard that the Pixel Experience x64 rom has it built in even.

There we go.
Yes, this is a 64bit build- most are. The Nexus 5x was the last 32-bit version with HDR+, and it doesn't support the settings you show... those options don't even exist in settings on the 32-bit version. Its very basic. I WISH someone would port this to the 32-bit one, but I don't have any realistic reason to think anyone will.
To everyone else looking for a 64-bit version that works with AF, here's your answer.

For some reason I still can't get auto focus working when using HDR+. Auto ISO and color balance works with HDR+ on, but the only way I can get it to focus is to swipe to the video, and then back over to take the picture like the 32 bit port. I was able to get auto focus working when I set the rear camera to LEVEL_3, but then HDR+ doesn't process and it takes the photo as if HDR+ were turned off. I've also tried turning ZSL on and off via the buildprop and rebooting each time but it didn't seem to make a difference so I left it on.
That being said, this is still a big improvement over the ported 32 bit version; much more stable and much better at holding focus when switching back over to the camera, and much thanks for posting your settings. I've tried this camera before but couldn't get HDR+ working under at all because I couldn't figure out the correct settings for our phone.

No slow motion, no 60fps either. 4k stutters a bit but 1080p 30 fps seems to work fine. You have to set it to 60 fps then reopen the camera, otherwise it's zoomed in. Setting it to 60 fps, it still records in 30 fps.

Sorry for noob question
But why isn't gcam hdr+working on 64 bit roms?
Currently I was using pixel rom 64bit version.
I noted that hdr+ was not working, but auto focus and other issues were fixed.
But I also noted that any picture that I took in landscape mode was around 18.20mb and most of the pics that I took were all of 18.20mb and was quite clear too...
Any comments, I am actually confused with this...
Thanks!!

Is it recording a RAW?
I'm trying one of Savitar's 32-bit Gcam with raw capture on my phone, and it saves a smaller JPEG (2-3mb) and a RAW dng file (18-24mb). If you know anything about photography, you know why RAW is bigger and better, but not always necessary. Otherwise, I can't think of a reason a jpeg would be that big.

I'm trying one of Savitar's 32-bit Gcam with raw capture on my phone, and it saves a smaller JPEG (2-3mb) and a RAW dng file (18-24mb). If you know anything about photography, you know why RAW is bigger and better, but not always necessary. Otherwise, I can't think of a reason a jpeg would be that big.

yea I understand but thats not RAW for sure, cause it saves in jpeg format only, and are not comparable with RAW shots at all, they can only be compared to HDR+ shots that too only in daylight,
At night those images are blurry and not so good as compared to hdr+ but still their sizes are 17mb to 18.20mb.

Ah, so your file ends in jpeg and not dng. Weird. I don't know what it means. The 64 bit side is something I'm still watching evolve for now. Maybe someone in the pixelrom thread knows?

There we go.
Yes, this is a 64bit build- most are. The Nexus 5x was the last 32-bit version with HDR+, and it doesn't support the settings you show... those options don't even exist in settings on the 32-bit version. Its very basic. I WISH someone would port this to the 32-bit one, but I don't have any realistic reason to think anyone will.
To everyone else looking for a 64-bit version that works with AF, here's your answer.

Wrong, nexus 5x is a 64bit device with 64bit OS and CPU, it used the 64bit version of 3.2.045 before it turned into ARM64 only app from 4.4.x .
the 4.2.035 version exists due to Nexus 6 being updated to 7.1.1 and SD 805 is still a 32Bit cpu.
and the 3.2.045 version is the last version for Nexus 5 which was officially stopped at 6.0.1.
its worth 64bits rom on 2gb variant?

The PIP and dual shot modes are strange. Not sure why someone would want to use them but I'm old and probably missing something. The camera does seem to take nice low light pictures. It doesn't say much for One Plus that Google and Nokia camera apps both take better pictures on the OP5 than the official One Plus camera app.
it doesnt work on Colt 7.1.2, any idea?
Could be good for custom ROMs. Works fine apart from PIP but who cares about those modes. I'm running OOS Oreo.
Yeah works very fine on OOS Oreo
Thanks
Quick comparison, both zoomed in until 150%. Checked focus and tried to shoot from the exactly same position.
First one ist OP5, leaked beta 3 (Oreo), camera version 2.512.
Second one is the ported NOKIA 8 camera app. It seems like noise reduction is better applied. Seems better to my eyes.
Working fine in Omni8.1
Low light definitely looks alot better using this app compared to stock.
(Also less watercolor looking images in general)

One Plus improved their camera app a bit in LB4/OB2 but this one and Pixel camera still look better.
There is the difference in numbers between Oneplus Camera app (who use Camera1 API) and Nokia 8 Camera (who use Camera2 API).

Camera 2 API gives more control over camera options than Camera 1 API so all of the features in ported camera apps like Nokia and Pixel won't work on the OP5. Camera 2 Api isn't new either. Google introduced it on the Nexus 5X which was several years ago. I doubt if any Android phones that takes good pictures uses Camera 1 Api anymore.

Not true, because API 1 is easier to handle while remaining smaller in size. AP2 is still buggy and supports less features. For reference i would suggest to read the clarification from SultanXDA

How to enable google camera 4k on custom roms (i.e. ResurrectionRemix)

Hey guys,
I really like the google camera but it seems like I can't get 4k (30fps) video recording up and running. If I switch it on, the camera force closes, no matter what I do or what version I use.)
Right now I am at the latest version of saneklic (2018-07-21; MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R5Plus_v.5.1.17_fix_crash.apk)
I know about the tutorial claiming you need to enable it in some "whyred.xml" which is in a "device feature folder" (a folder somewhere in system/etc/) or something like that, but there is no such thing in a custom rom: it exists only on MIUI. I've already tried every tutorial possible, but nothing helps.
4k is working with the lineage snap, the google camera picture quality is much better though and I really prefere the gcam (because of additional settings/mods)
Thank you very much, any help is very much appreciated. If someone can help me, I will donate you a coffee :highfive:

Hey man, I'm really disappointed so far by RN5, I couldn't find a way to record stabilized 4K on custom roms, not even with Open Camera which worked fine on MIUI 10. I have a two year old RN3 which records 4K with gcam (not stabilized) and takes slightly better photos than RN5.
So far i've tried RR, LOS and AEX. 4K recording crashes any camera I've used. Open Camera just gives an error. Waited 2 weeks to unlock bootloader, thinking it will open the gates of heaven. In fact been through hell since I unlocked(yesterday). Antirollback is like a minefield which I luckily avoided, then front camera barely works with gcam, some slight battery drain with custom roms and now 4K recording is broken. Feels like I've downgraded my phone.
Think I'll try to flash MIUI 10, root it, enable camera 2 api for gcam and use Open Camera for EIS enabled 4K. Btw the latest gcam by alone_in_dark works best, even front camera works quite good, try it.
Edit: I flashed MIUI 10, once I enabled camera2 api 4K doesn't work. So it's either 4K or HDR+. Thanks Xiaomi.

Thanks for everything! To be honest I prefere much more [email protected] instead of [email protected] I managed to get 4k recordings on lineage snap & open camera no problem. Google camera is where it's at though, I love the settings & mods. I can help you out though if you really want to do 4k recordings ^^

Can't say no to that. But since 4K (3840 × 2160 resolution) doesn't appear in open camera after enabling camera2 api, I don't think there's a fix for that. It appears only 4000 x 2000 2:1 which gives an error. I did manage to get 4K working with another third party camera, but without EIS. Because RN5 can record 4K with excellent stabilization it's a pitty not to use it. So now if I want to record something I just use another build.prop without cam2.api then reboot, and switch back to enabled cam2.api prop when I want to use HDR+ :laugh:

This is horrible! I mean is it a firmware issue or some custom rom problem? Unfortuantly I'm not much into mobile software development... I really really want a fix, I would even pay money for it xD :highfive:
Edit_0: If we take a look at this link; a possible solution is shown but it doesn't work... a hotfix would be cool but meh it's alright you can't have it all...
Edit_1: Installing it as a system app doesn't help either btw

Hello my friend, it seems you can have it all, I finally found a way to record 4K with EIS while having camera2 api enabled. I'm really happy now and overall satisfied with the phone. Only issue remaining is the front camera HDR+ which is beyond my knowledge, hopefully someone else will come with a fix.
So now, how I managed to record 4K? I'm on MIUI 10 (8.7.12), and using latest blackbox kernel by KunalKene1797. Don't know if these have any effect, but I thought it's good to know.
The third party camera I'm using is Snap Camera, there are certain settings which need to be enabled. I'll post a video with the settings I used and which worked best. 4K Video Support and Use Camera2 API being the most important ones. There could be other settings which could improve the recording, but I like to stay on these stable settings, because I'm pleased with the results so far.
Here's the video with the settings needed in Snap Cam https://youtu.be/gRj9LhYWv5Y(video is back)
Here's the first 4K video https://youtu.be/oQGc4gXnGU0
A test for auto-focus https://youtu.be/V41k21qKQpE
No EIS sample vs EIS https://youtu.be/_qNFNs2gq74 VS https://youtu.be/00J-3cAzLjg
Edit 1: I also tried setting higher bitrate than the default 42, however in windows at the details on the first video it shows 40 total bitrate and when setting to 64 it shows 42, either way it seems the quality was marginally improved. I guess the phone can't write faster than that or the storage doesn't allow it.
https://youtu.be/Q7Lqlr-QanA
Some stuttering can be seen from 0:08 to 0:11, but I think that's because the phone started thermal throttling, it's very hot outside and from all the testing, phone was quite hot too.
I really hope it works for you as well, take care.

Please check back later, I appealed to the decision to remove my video. The video doesn't contain any scam or anything that may violate the community guidelines.

Hi! Thanks for all the details. I am using the latest miui 10, and WITHOUT api2 turned on, I used hedge camera app, and the 4k eis was working fine, but phone was droping the frames / stuttering the recorded video, which is a bit annoying.
I tested your setup, and I can see that its better, but still sometimes I can see some dropped frames. It happen to you too?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Yes, it happens to me as well, in the first 8 to 10 seconds, I think it's the cpu, it can't use EIS very well with 4K. Without EIS there are no dropped frames or stutter issues.
A suggestion would be to use a very fast micro sd card, haven't tested, but worth a try.
After about 4-5 minutes the phone gets quite warm and stutter is inevitable due to thermal throttling.
Flash this in TWRP to enable 4k recording in Google camera and other camera2 API-enabled apps
