If you try to install Arnova's version, it will fail due to conflicts with the original GCam. This is just a cloned app that can be installed on Pixel/Pixel XL.
All credit goes to @Arnova8G2. All bugs/functionality from that app are also present here.

Hi, I'm curious what is different from Official Google Camera from Playstore, the Pixel 3 Camera APK, and Arnova's version you linked, and these?

Arnova's version has some of the pixel 3 functionality enabled for other phones (like portrait mode and focal length changing after taking a portrait mode photo). If you install the non moded version, you don't get portrait mode or h256 encoding for videos (and more).
None of the v6 based moded gcam apps on the site you link work on Pixel due to their manifest, which is exactly the same as the original app (preinstalled on pixels), forces an update of the original app, update which fails as it recognizes that the moded version is not really a qualified update for the original one

I installed it on Pixel.. CameraNX captures much more beautiful photos.
More saturated and brighter

Working great . Thanks for compiling it.
Will you update whenever Arnova updates or wait for stable builds only?

Does it has top shot, night sight, super res zoom, motion auto focus, photobooth, etc all the features in pixel 3??
Will it ever get it?

I just downloaded and installed it on my Google Pixel running Android 9.0.
There is no trick involved.. may be your download is corrupt.

pls make a new app with the beta1 apk. but name it camera .
how is it possible to modify the apk so that you can install it on an pixel.

Dont Start. Not for this device and wants to Install App cloner.

Apk from apk mirror installs perfectly but This Arnova mod is not. App cloner seems to solve this problem.

Newer version available. Nothing exciting yet. It's more stable than the previous version. Night mode and photobooth options are there but not really doing anything. Also I am unable to get topshot to work so if anyone has been able to kindly share.
Note: Use App Cloner from Playstore to install
Can't share the link since I am new here. Just Google 'Arnova GCam' and download GoogleCamera_6.1.009.215420794-beta-1.apk

Silly question, but is it possible to download the newest Arnova app without updating the stock cam and without app cloners?

I updated my stock camera with the 6.1 APK taken from the Pixel 3 that can be found on APK Mirror and it replaced the one that came with the system.
Then I downloaded the one from the Google Drive link on the first post and also works and installs as CameraP, but has a little bit of an issue with WB.
Do the new releases try to overwrite the stock Camera?

Yes.
So you have to install using AppCloner. I can't share links or otherwise I would have shared the apk with you guys.
The newer version is much more stable. Seems almost perfect except for the zoom. You have to tap the plus button to zoom, if you pinch zoom it will crash. Also, HDR+Enhanced is giving some next level low light shots. Portrait mode seems better than Camera NX. No Top shot, night sight, Photobooth for now.

I never used AppCloner. Does it require root?
Edit: I've checked over the Play store and there are a lot of app cloning Aps. Which one do you recommend?
Can you provide either a play store link or the exact name of the app and Dev so we can try this new GCam port.
Thanks!
EDIT 2: Never mind the link. I got it from APK Mirror. I installed the camera but the viewfinder was really laggy and the phone started getting really hot. So I just uninstalled both, the Camera and AppCloner.
Did something similar happen to you?

I don't like the idea of installing app cloner. Hopefully there will be a way to install it alongside stock app

Not really. Pixel does get hot occasionally though. And both cameras you mentioned are working pretty well on my side. I am loving the Arnova's version and can't wait for the next release.

Get all google pixel 3 camera features

Hi,
I installed the Bliss rom based on Android 9 because is the only recently updated Pie rom based on which I can install and run the official google camera version 6.1.021.
It works fine with video, camera, night sight but there aren't others pixel 3 camera features like the portrait mode / bokeh and photobooth.
Why?
I read on a blog that changing the device info in build.prop file to:
ro . product . model=Pixel 3
ro . product . name=blueline
ro . product . device=blueline
The camera app recognize the device as a Pixel 3 and it enables all missing features.
I tried to do this but the app crashes when I open it.
someone tried this method? I'm not interested to use other camera mod as workaround to get this features, i'm interested to get them on the original camera app.
Someone have any suggest?
Thank you guys!
Bye :highfive:

How about "I don't want spend hundreds dollars to buy a new phone until mine works perfectly and I may have all features of the new one just with few little tricks"?

Well, you may not want to, that's fine, not making your decisions for you. But even if you do get the original pixel gcam on your n5x, the performance will be bad. So it's better if you either use the available gcam mods, or just buy a pixel 3.

best gcam mod for redmi note 7

This thread is to discuss best gcam mod for Redmi Note 7.
Redmi Notes 7 supports Google Camera without unlocking the bootloader thanks to the native support for the 2API Room.
So how are we?

there's a thread started here
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/help/gcam-version-settings-people-using-t3896896

I think you have to try yourself since some features work while other don't + difference in Quality.
Maybe I will do a spreadsheet again (like for the RN5pro).

Go to Google Camera port hub on xda find port mi 9. Go to the link download 'Download xtreme version [updated 30/03/2019]' it works perfectly for me. even photobooth works.

a feature called Photobooth will also use AI to get the best shot, except it will work more like Google Clips. Set your Pixel 3 down somewhere and it will take photos when something interesting happens, or when all subjects are aligned and looking at the camera. It sounds like a selfie timer that knows exactly when to hit the shutter for you, but it will also offer you a range of images to choose from.
Copied ?

However, it just doesn't work on any gcam for RN7 that I've tried so far....

The last 6.2 version by back.rider has everything working, it's the one I use daily: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/

I don't know what has been going wrong for me, but my phone running Chinese dev Rom doesn't work with any gcam mods, if it does the app only opens with a compatibility pop up, but then does run. Most others just close without any extra messages.

Actually disregard my earlier post, BSG released a build specifically for RN7 of which I have been using since and has not crashed on me yet on all features.

Working Google Camera with for Exynos s9 on Pie

Hi everyone, it's my first post on XDA , i used to read and browse but never posted anything myself.
Here is my problem, i had an s9 on android 8 for few months and had a working GCAM port ( pixel 2 port without Night sight ) that was just perfect , stable and with excellent portrait mode.
After having installed the one UI with android pie on my s9 , i had the gcam app not working anymore and passed the last 2 weeks looking for a working one ( with or without Night sight it doesn't matter ) . The problem is that i think i tried all the gcam apk available online but all crashed and i couldn't even take a single picture, i need help please , i miss the portrait mode...

Weird how 4K 60fps only works on the ultrawide camera and not the main camera.

Is there any gcam mod that allows to record 8k and 4k/120fps? BTW I tried many mods and I did not find any with all functionalities available: all cameras, motion photos, night sight etc. If motion photos available, only single camera can be used, etc.
I also don't understand why they decided to remove all languages other than English from all mods. Original Gcam supports many languages.

Not at the moment, as far as I know but our device's release happend less than a month ago so the development is still in early stages. BSG is quite fast at updates so hopefully it'll eventually happen.

What is much more simple? Additional languages strings are original from Google, no need to touch them. Of course, additional custom settings will appear in English only, because they won't be translated.
Additional effort required to remove all translations. So it's opposite to what you are saying

That's the package signature. On some phones, using the Snapcam one allows access to the auxiliary cameras (ultrawide, telephoto).

I think so, yes. I read Snapcam is recommended for phones from BBK-owned smartphone brands. However keep in mind a brand could "block" the access to auxiliary cameras at any moment. For example Samsung blocked access to the selfie camera, so in GCam ports, the selfie camera just does not work on Samsungs... Not sure if they have fixed it, but I know it's been a problem for Samsung users.

I don't think there's a way to track it, just gotta visit the celsoazevedo page from time to time. Although most updates are minor, so don't worry about that.

You can download a XML file, and import it to the GCam app. It will import settings from the file, so if you find a XML file for the 9 Pro BSG Gcam port, just download it and import it via the app. Also you can create XML files yourself, and share them if you want as well.

Some manufacturers have even coded things to prevent third-party cameras from using the phone's full camera resolution capabilities. On OnePlus devices they could be locked to 12 MP, even the main camera.

Nothing, really. They just have different signatures. If you find that certain additional modules (Magisk flashables that add or enhance a device's camera functions) don't work, try the other. Some devices have a camera version signed specifically for them (ie, Samsung phones) because of this. It just happens that the snapcam signature seems to work best on our device.

I'm having some nasty issues with a strong lilac purple pink RAW files from Gcam recently. It makes it unusable. It worked fine before but suddenly this problem started happening, perhaps it came after a system update. :/

A working Gcam for our phone, because we deserve it:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0h
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0h by BSG.

(always use this version: org.codeaurora.snapcam)
Compared to the stock camera, the shutter is faster and the colours are somewhat more vibrant. Haven't had a chance to compare night modes yet.
If you have an XML setup to recommend, please do share.

I tried this and the colors were way to bright and inaccurate

We'll, it's not a secret that Google's image processing slightly saturates the colours and beautifies photos. Not a bad thing imho.
Anyhow, BSG keeps releasing new builds, the latest one dated today:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
