I've recently installed Nameless AOSP ROM, and while using it I realized that it made Google think I had a Pixel 6, and gave me free storage for Photos and GDrive (Backups only). Because of some stability issues and lack of camera features (compared to the Hasselblad stock one), I had to go back to OxygenOS (but I'm sticking to 11, until 13 is released).
Now, I would love to have that free photo storage, you've realized that camera is important to me. I tried Pix3lify and it bricked the phone, probably because of the stock ROM.
Does anyone know how can I simulate that I have a Pixel 6 phone? Maybe a config file or metadata that can be changed?
Set it to pixel xl and you can upload unlimited original pictures and videos. https://github.com/BaltiApps/Pixelify-Google-Photos

Hi,
i have a huge problem with my camera. When my Mi5s arrived before one year the cam worked perfectly and the pictures were really nice. But somewhen the quality of the images went really low, so i tried different camera apps and settings, tried multiple different roms (Miui Dev, Global, etc.) but nothing helped.
The images looking like if the resolution is really low and are unsharp, especially in low light situation. The weired thing is that in the preview of the camera app the images are much sharper and more brilliant as after the photo is taken.
I am for now on the pixel experience rom (clean flash with everything wiped) and tried the stock cam, the ported google cam and the ported miui cam, but the images are all the same.
I have now clue who it can be that the images are that bad after processing in every app
Does anybody have an idea why this happens and how to solve this? i didnt find anywhere similar problems with this phone/cam.
Thanks

Maybe you can try magisk module from tadi's libhack (this module is for oreo) And make sure your gcam setting set correctly.
Didnt help, but thank you!
It looks more like a too long shutter time if you ask me. Did you used the Mi5s specific port of GCam? Search here for "v2e", which will give you the latest one that worked great with my device: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
For settings I use:
Model Pixel 2 XL (some users have better results with Nexus 6P)
Config HDR Pixel 2017 ZSL
HDR+ Very high
Final JPG Qual 100% (although 95% should also be enough)
And enabled increased detail of HDR+ on front camera
The author suggests these settings himself:

hi i just got a nx5 which is working fine
any google camera mod available for oreo with night sight?
another thing,
are pie builds good enough for old batteries ?
i mean how is the battery backup compared to stock oreo.
suggest any
thanks
No, it's a feature of pixel 3 camera and there isn't a pixel 3 camera mod working on oreo.
I think the best camera available for nexus 5x in terms of features and image quality is Arnova (pixel 2 mod), you can download it from here . Try the red links. If your nexus has 2gb of ram you may have some camera issue with latest versions.
About the Pie roms I noticed an increment in battery drain, but the real problem is in performance. if your nexus has 2gb of ram you should better to stay on oreo, if you have a modded motherboard with 4gb of ram you can try to use Pie.
Yes there are Android Oreo mods for NightSight out there. Dig a little harder I don't have a link with me but it does exist.
Just to leave the information here, I use arnova's Gcam5 mod on my N5X with latest lineageOS 15.1 and in contrast to the stock Gcam APK (even same version number!) it's working beautifully, no force closes, HDR is functioning - so definitely an improvement!
Hello friends,
I'm looking for the last version of pixel 3 camera apk to install it on a pixel xl.
Please give me the last version with all or most features, without bugs.
My phone not rooted.
Take a look here, it's the latest modded camera from cstark27, I ended up disabling the stock camera and using this as default. Works really good.
OnePlus limits which sensors Google Camera mods can access in OxygenOS 12
By Arol Wright
For years, non-Pixel phones have been able to enjoy some of Google's camera magic, thanks to Google Camera ports/mods. Because a good part of the Pixel camera experience comes down to software, developers have figured out ways to bring parts of that experience to other devices. Among the root-and-ROM crowd, it's a popular practice that can let you enjoy Pixel camera features and enhanced processing on non-Pixel devices. Now a seemingly arbitrary restriction by OnePlus will keep Google Camera mods (and all third party camera apps) from accessing auxiliary cameras on the company's phones.
If you aren't familiar with the concept, a handful of popular developers (including folks like cstark27, BSG, and Arnova8G2) port and modify versions of the Pixel's Google Camera app to third-party devices. It can take some research to track down a version that plays nice on your particular phone, and there are usually a couple broken features and some bugs, but you can often get much better photo results from these modified camera apps than you can on the app your phone shipped with, as well as enjoy some of those Pixel-specific camera features on your non-Pixel phone.
As of OxygenOS 12, the auxiliary cameras (read: the non-primary ultrawide, macro, or telephoto lens) are no longer accessible outside of OnePlus' own camera app, as reported on the Google Camera Port Updates Telegram group. This means that if you were to install a Google Camera mod on your OnePlus phone running Android 12, you'd only be able to use the primary camera/sensor with it. And, if it wasn't clear, that means other apps won't have access to the other sensors either, including those you might download from the Play Store.
The OxygenOS 12 update that delivers this change has already been controversial among fans for other reasons. Not only is it essentially just Oppo's ColorOS with a handful of OnePlus-specific tweaks, but it's also absolutely loaded with bugs, something that eventually made OnePlus halt the update's rollout.
Notably, this auxiliary camera restriction is also present in Oppo phones running ColorOS. While it's unfortunate, that could mean the change is intentional, and we might not see this behavior revert back to a GCam-friendly practice if and when the update starts rolling out again.
If you have a OnePlus phone and want to keep using a Google Camera port or mod with all of your phone's sensors, consider holding off on the OxygenOS 12 update when it starts rolling out again. And if OnePlus doesn't bring the feature back, you can always try a ROM — they're relatively easy to install on OnePlus phones.

TL;DR:
You can download the modded Open Camera app for the Pixel 6 Pro from the project’s GitHub repository. Note that the modded app only supports the Pixel 6 Pro, and it won’t work on the regular Pixel 6. As the developer notes, the modded Open Camera app isn’t as capable as the stock camera app on the Pixel 6 Pro. But, at least, it works.

Facing issues with the Pixel 6 Pro’s camera app? Try this Open Camera modAlthough the Pixel 6 lineup has received rave reviews, the latest flagships from Google are far from perfect. Over the last few months, we’ve seen several reports of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users facing various issues, ranging from poor fingerprint scanner performance to sub-par network connectivity. While Google has addressed some of these issues via software updates, the company is yet to fix an annoying issue with the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that makes the device unusable.
We’ve come across various reports on Google’s support website and Reddit claiming that the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro crashes frequently and makes the device unusable. Whenever this issue pops up, users are left with no choice but to hard reboot their device, making the entire ordeal rather annoying.
Some users report that factory resetting the phone doesn’t seem to help either, and the issue persists even after installing the February 2022 update, which included a fix for the “issue causing device reboot when using camera in certain conditions.” Fed up with the issue, a Pixel 6 Pro user has released a modded version of the Open Camera app that offers disgruntled users temporary relief.
As mentioned in several reports, the issue seems to be limited to the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Third-party camera apps, like Open Camera, seem to work as intended. However, since Open Camera doesn’t support the Pixel 6 Pro’s ultra-wide camera and has a tricky zoom slider, it isn’t an ideal alternative to the stock camera app. Thankfully, the modded Open Camera build from Cameron Kaiser offers a relatively better solution.
The modded Open Camera app for the Pixel 6 Pro adds a button on the screen that makes the zoom a bit easier to control. Although it still doesn’t include support for the ultra-wide camera, it’s better than using the stock camera app for one simple reason — it doesn’t crash. So, if you’ve been facing this camera crashing issue on your Pixel 6 Pro, you should give it a go.
You can download the modded Open Camera app for the Pixel 6 Pro from the project’s GitHub repository. Note that the modded app only supports the Pixel 6 Pro, and it won’t work on the regular Pixel 6. As the developer notes, the modded Open Camera app isn’t as capable as the stock camera app on the Pixel 6 Pro. But, at least, it works.

I'm sure its not universal. If it was a problem for MOST/ALL people, then you can bet that gooble would fix it pretty fast.
