I've tried many roms with many camera apps but couldn't find one in which, portrait mode, hdr+ and slow motion(however slow motion isn't important for me at all) are working.
The best app that I found was the stock crdroid camera but neither does it have portrait mode plus it's hdr is very slow.
Can someone please provide me the best app that just works and has the features i mentioned above.

I think that your experience with the gcam mods might be determined by the camera sensor on your phone. I have a Samsung sensor, and most of the mods work reasonably well (sometimes you have to tweak the settings). I have stayed with Arnova8G2 v6. It does FC sometimes, but it mostly good. The settings can be tweaked for improvements over default settings ("Auto"), but not all of them work well. If you choose very high resolution HDR settings, the shutter will be very slow - but the picture will be very good. I don't really use the portrait mode, so I can't comment on that. Before Arnova8G2, I used Cstark27 mods - and they were excellent too. But I think Arnova has the edge.
In any case, you can have a look at this repository of gcam mods.

I don't know of a straightforward way of getting that information. You will need to search the forum for that.
The method that I use is not straightforward. It depends on initd functionality, and this is not generally available in ROMs. Basically, I run dmesg from an initd script, and redirect the output to a file. I then parse the file and look for any of these;
1. "ofilm_s5k3l8" (sensor=Samsung)
2. "ofilm_imx258" (sensor=Sony)
3. "qtech_ov13855" (sensor=Omnivision)
You can of course run dmesg at any time from a root terminal. However, you need to capture the output early enough (i.e., during the bootup process) or the values you are looking for would be long gone.
PS: I don't know much about Kernel Adiutor - but it may be that it can help you to run the command to capture the necessary information, even without initd functionality. Maybe someone else can speak to that.

I'm on arnova v6 now and it's perfect. The only problem is that the front camera is mirroring/reversing the pictures I take which is incredibly annoying. Do you guys know of a system-wide or app limited tweak that can disable this? Or perhaps an alternative to this gcam which has that feature but also.has portrait mode and HDR+ working.

In these apps when you take a picture from the front camera, it is saved as mirrored as compared to the camera preview screen when you're positioning tot take the picture (for e.g a face looking at the left comes as right or vice versa). There is an option in the miui camera settings to disable this and also on most other camera apps. I want to disable this here too.

Hello guys,after many tries to make a LG G7 Camera Port for our LG V20 i am glad to be able to bring out a decent build!
What does this Port offer?
-Properly working manual mode with Graphy feature enabled.
-LG G7 Libraries for better and stable experience.
-Some Working G7 Features.
-Better Camera of course(As reported from Users,Better Processing)
Clear Dalvik/cache after installing through TWRP
Cause of the library limitation and the "heavy" configuration file for the G7 features require,enabling some features make others break.
So i removed some features that were causing the camera force close.
CHANGELOG
V1.0--->Initial release.14 April
V2.0--->Out Now Release Date:15 April !The date of the builds will be here so users know if they have to update!
Fixed:
-Camera Not Working As Lockscreen Shortcut.

-Dark front camera while using stickers|To Be Fixed On Upcoming Builds|
V2.5.2-->In Beta Phase,Available For Download 09 May
-Working Stickers and attempted to add more features!
Doesn't require v2.0 for stickers to work!

Is this build for nougat or oreo? Planning to flash and try to see if its any better than the stock v20 cam. Also can you include a stock camera zip? Wouldnt wanna reflash again and lose all data ?
EDIT: Flashed it and it works great! Graphy options seem pretty nice will try taking more photos tomorrow with better lighting

Works from the lockscreen now! Thank so much for the port! I do feel its better than the stock camera looking forward to more improvements!
On a side note, if a developer releases custom camera libs for the V20 will it affect the app?

Always depends what libraries will be of the G7 or anything else i hope you get me and what i am trying to say.The needed libraries(for now) are already in the zip otherwise the cam could crash by using any feature,i got a stock G7 camera config everything will be easier to fix and we will get more features for sure.

There is a guy here with a thread who made custom libs for the V20 (nougat) that changes how the phone processes images, like less sharpening, slight vignette, stuff like that.
I think he is close to making his custom libs work for oreo so i was kinda wondering if i can replace the libs from the G7 port in the phone and have the G7 camera still work

Let me quickly have a look on it
edit: quick qesution
does the camera really shoot 4K/1080p 60FPS? I see the option, but in Filmic pro evaluator, it says the camera is only capable of 30 FPS for 1080p and 4K video
We finally got a version of 6.1 with the updated libraries and features (Night Sight, etc) that doesn't kill the front camera!
I've been working on this with DefconG and Cstark for a while now, trying to figure out how to fix the noise profile / black levels in the front cam so we aren't stuck with 5.1 (and its arguably inferior image quality and sharpness), and this seems to be the first major breakthrough!
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog924/
It says for Pie, but don't worry. It will install fine on Oreo. You may need to uninstall other 6.1 ports if you are having trouble installing it (on my device it conflicted with a 6.1 Arnova installation).
Front cam and both rear cams are fully supported with HDR+ Enhanced now. Night Sight is also an option. Some new funky feature too like zoom enhancements and other fun things that aren't entirely documented. Use the attached settings XML for the best V20 experience.
Definitely looks sharper, much more config options to fiddle. But after taking more than 2 photos it crashes, both with hdr, hdr enhanced, hdr off and hexagon dsp disabled.
If going for version 6 this looks like the choice.
Thanks for the good work.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do I apply the xml settings?

I think I got it. Writing steps for others here. Thanks man! You're the hero we need.
1. A quick search led to this: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/

Double click the any empty black area near shutter button, it will as for the config. But be sure to copy the xml file to your \gcam\configs directory first.
I'm guessing no 7.0 support?

As far as I know, any GCam after 5.1 needs Oreo or higher, and any GCam from 6.2 on needs Pie or higher.
Sadly doesn't work on H990DS Oreo, I have version mismatch maybe because of that.
Have to go back to 5.1
Hello everyone. First off thank you so much for your work and development. I have been playing around with the 6.1 camera and I think I have everything working, but lens blur keeps force closing while processing the image.
I did download the XML file and double tap in the black area next to the shutter button change to the correct config file. But I'm still having the issue with lens blur is there something that I'm missing? Also, is there a way to make it save directly to the SD card? And any way to brighten up lens blur?
Thanks again for the awesome work. It would be really nice to only need one camera!

Haven't tried Lens Blur yet, but regarding directly saving to SD card, that's not a feature since no Google Pixel phone has an SD card slot. You'll have to rely on an automatic process to move the files for you via something like Tasker or a specific app that someone made:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gcam-tool-automatically-photos-t3752115
In Settings I changed both front and back cameras to be 16:9. However if I press the camera switch button then the settings does not stay. It goes like this:
Main Camera (16:9) -> Front Camera (16:9) -> Wide Camera (4:3) -> Front Camera (16:9) -> Main Camera (4:3)
Is it possible to fix this behavior so that switching to the Wide camera doesn't remove my Main camera settings?
Apologize for my ignorant. Does this app need root? What is the xml file for?

From my experience:
1. No root required
2. Xml file sets the settings/parameters which are optimal, and also somehow save the app from crashing.
Someone else might be better informed though.

There's a couple of ways to toggle the cameras which can be set in the settings menu. One is to long-press the front/back toggle button, the other is to alternate each time you go from rear cam to front cam. The long press seems makes more sense on paper, but in reality it then pauses as it resets the app. Toggling to front cam and then back to rear seems to happen faster so you are ready to take a picture sooner. But then it is confusing because taking a selfie and then back to rear you forget which camera you are on now at first. I wish there was a toggle that worked like in the stock LG app, but the quality of Gcam is so good its worth it.

I haven't tried it yet- I'm just reporting info as the guys tweaking LG cams are filling me in.
The V20 is my wife's phone, and while I spent a considerable amount of time trying to make it take awesome pictures for her, I haven't tried the latest updates. She doesn't always like me stealing her phone to tinker. Let us know how it goes?

I'm totally speechless, today i swapped my S20 + for a OP8P, and TBH the camera is better but they where close.
I spent quite a bit of time, and as an avid GCAM user i tried MANY GCAM ports, all where pretty much crap, or not really better than stock, but, BUT! THAN, i found Parrot043 mod. I installed made my usual tweaks, and what i have saw is literally INSANE, this camera mod, literally destroy everything i have ever tried, and believe me i tried hundreds of them in my life.
1. If you have a previous GCAM, open the camera, hold and press on the icon on the homescreen, press app info, clear cache, and data.
2. Uninstall the app, reboot the phone. Than install Parrot 043 link > https://gofile.io/d/BpCWFx - also alternative host - https://easyupload.io/k6t42a
3. Go into the settings of the GCAM, turn on HDR enhanced, into advanced section, into HDR frames, and set 35, enable sabre, just under the HDR enhanced frames option.
4. Restart the camera app, go into darkness, take a photo with your camera app, and than take a photo with the GCAM mod, BE AMAZED.
P.S. Do not touch anything else, maybe turn on H265 for videos, and 4K for the back camera, increase video bitrate to 50mbps + and that's it.
P.P.S. ALWAYS make sure you have HDR enhanced on! it makes taking moving objects harder/blurry, but for low light its EPIC.
And here is camera comparasion of stock, night mode, and GCAM
Stock for scale,

OnePlus 8 Pro IN2025 10.5.8 xXx rom currently.
Had gcam installed from xXx, force stopped, cleared data, uninstalled with reflashing rom to remove as system app, then rebooted. Installed the other. Tried clearing data, rebooting again, made the one you recommended a system priv app, but it keeps crashing the moment I open it. I can't even open settings, because it crashes on open.
I have tried modifying the permissions, tried a previous version, still crashes on start. At the time, no other gcam folder.

Its the sabre i think, you need to somehow turn it off, sometimes older GCAM ports mix with new and bugs happen, its either that, or its the sabre. In order to fix this, IF IT IS THE SABRE, you will need to wipe cache data from recovery or even FORMAT the phone, look at the photos, the upgrade is ENORMOUS, but it depends of how much you need it, i would suggest for someone with the same version as your model/firmware, test the mod to see if its the sabre or not, i had this issue on my Mi Note 10, all GCAM ports looked the same, no improvements, i tried everything only the format make the settings change post installation.
EDIT, it might be even the rom! i just saw you are on custom, sorry buddy.
Always keen to give GCAM a go (not sure why i have such a soft spot for it lol)...
Anyways, thanks for sharing this. Attached are a few samples of me jumping into a store room with the door slightly opened (it's pretty dim inside).

I can confirm it's related to the xXx rom. Uninstalled completely and the camera installed and worked fine, but when you reinstall the camera breaks.

This thread has me very interested.. @xXx - any chance you could glance at this at some point and see if it warrants inclusion in an xXx magisk rom future update? No pressure, just a thought. Some of the picture samples do indeed appear impressive! Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this, will look deeper into it (presently on Urnyx GCam port).... Just as an info:
This GCam and many more ports are on Celsozavedos excellent Gcam Port hub !

Always keen to give GCAM a go (not sure why i have such a soft spot for it lol)...
Anyways, thanks for sharing this. Attached are a few samples of me jumping into a store room with the door slightly opened (it's pretty dim inside).

The difference is much more apparent when there is less light, but even here the GCAM is superior. Can you post full res photos please? thanks.

Urnyx is also great and stable, but sadly it lacks exposure in low light, (darker photos) and the noise reduction can kill details. Parrot can see where eyes cannot, very good.
OP camera is better in low light than this, and you can't use any of the other cameras, so until they solve that problem for the OP 8 pro I'll be sticking to the stock camera.
You lose more functionality than you gain in picture quality.

Figured out the same. Low light is way to sharp and dark.

Well on european in2023 op8pro the low light picture quality on this gcam is 10 times better then op stock cam for sure!
And yes you lose ability of other cameras.
But for the moment this gcam is my friend in making low light pictures ?????
Thanks for sharing

I'm totally speechless, today i swapped my S20 + for a OP8P, and TBH the camera is better but they where close.
I spent quite a bit of time, and as an avid GCAM user i tried MANY GCAM ports, all where pretty much crap, or not really better than stock, but, BUT! THAN, i found Parrot043 mod. I installed made my usual tweaks, and what i have saw is literally INSANE, this camera mod, literally destroy everything i have ever tried, and believe me i tried hundreds of them in my life.
1. If you have a previous GCAM, open the camera, hold and press on the icon on the homescreen, press app info, clear cache, and data.
2. Uninstall the app, reboot the phone. Than install Parrot 043 link > https://gofile.io/d/BpCWFx - also alternative host - https://easyupload.io/k6t42a
3. Go into the settings of the GCAM, turn on HDR enhanced, into advanced section, into HDR frames, and set 35, enable sabre, just under the HDR enhanced frames option.
4. Restart the camera app, go into darkness, take a photo with your camera app, and than take a photo with the GCAM mod, BE AMAZED.
P.S. Do not touch anything else, maybe turn on H265 for videos, and 4K for the back camera, increase video bitrate to 50mbps + and that's it.
P.P.S. ALWAYS make sure you have HDR enhanced on! it makes taking moving objects harder/blurry, but for low light its EPIC.
And here is camera comparasion of stock, night mode, and GCAM
Stock for scale,

Stock night mode,

Hello. But this is good only for the night photo or is good in every situation? What is sabre option? We dont need to choose an xml file? Thanks and i like this tipe of treadh
mhhh i actually tried different google gcams but until now - and since the last update - the stock cam is the best one for me, just in case with a lot of ( direct sun)light (google gcam often blows the sky just into white) and also in dark environments the stock cam is better than the gcam. But i think, gcams and stock cam could be better with updates over time, the software for the sensor has a much higher optimization potential.

This GCAM is different. Havent tested it alot in daylight, but it should win even in daylight. No the stock camera is not even close to being better or equal to GCAM, you can see in the picture, or test by yourself.

No need for XML.
Sabre is a better HDR merge metod, it should offers better details especially in low light. Should be in every situation, test it, you got nothing to lose.

What do you mean better than this, are you claiming that i did something wrong with the stock pictures?
And this camera mod is mostly for low light/night mode, you don't need to use it solo and not having the option to use other cameras, you can use both, you use GCAM for low light, and other cameras as needed.
Try it with the settings suggested, and you will forget that the main camera exist in low light.

This camera destroys Urnyx in low light, its like 2 gen ahead. I tested it last night, took like 3 photos, and deleted Urnyx instantly, its not even close.

Why Do you hype this camera when a lot of people tell something different? I tried the mod already and as I said, the Stock cam is better (for me) also in lowlight. I tested it in a very dark room. Also for daylight shots Stock is a way better, just in the view of sharphness.
So, your hyped gcam mod isn't the mother of all cam apps...
Update: I tested again in another Environment and again, Stock is a lot better. Not sure what's wrong with your Stock cam. Are you running the latest Version? ??Seems there is anything wrong on your side. I for myself can't share your opinion.
Anyone have input for the "best" Google camera port/mod? I'm using
Arnova's 6.2.030 v2.2: Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.190716.1800-Final.apk because it's the newest one I've tried so far that doesn't take green pictures. Looking for other experiences.
I have found that green pictures come out anytime you do not use Google AWB. I tried using Nikita's version of 7.4 and had decent results. Even took pictures using all 3 cams individually which was interesting. Still not great, but definitely better than stock.
Disregard, mine are green as well.

Are you meaning using a custom AWB? If so, which one do you use?
I also tried Nkita's 7.4 Gcam mod, and it blows the stock camera out of the water after a bit of tweaking in the settings. I've attached the config that I use, and you can apply it by following this guide. It's not perfect, but it doesn't take green pictures, and it enables the auxiliary cameras.

Hello lzgmc
Do I need to root the N200 before installing this Nkita's 7.4 Gcam ?
Thanks

No, just install the apk and apply the configuration file.

OK since I have no idea how to install the config file want to help an idiot out? Kind of fell in love with the google camera software on my pixel 3a and would love to have it back.

Place the config file at GCam/Configs7 folder, open the GCam, double tap the black space between the shutter and the preview picture, you will see the xml file you just placed.

@lzgmc, thanks for the xml file; however, it force closes when trying to use the auxiliary cameras, only the double tree one works.
Oneplus nord n200 with the latest GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.4 still got the GREEN shots. No luck.
I've been using open camera off fdroid and it seems to work much better than stock for what it's worth.

From that link:
NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_eng.apk (com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng) #
NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_snap.apk (org.codeaurora.snapcam) #
NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_cam.apk (com.ngcam.camera) #
NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_samsung.apk (com.samsung.android.scan3d) #
Which one of these APKs do I need for the N200?
Also, is this still the "best" camera option for the N200?

I used the "snap" variant personally, but I see no reason why the "cam" variant wouldn't work either.
As for which one is the "best" camera option for the N200, I don't know. While NGCam's photos are still far better than the photos from the stock camera in my opinion, and it also supports the macro lens, there's a subtle pink tint in the final photos, and it seems to drain the battery quite a bit. Maybe it's the best camera option right now, but that could change in the future if newer and more optimized cameras for this phone come out.

OK, tried the snap variant.
I can't figure out how to apply that config file, but I don't think I have to.
All I did was turn 'Google AWB' on (whatever that is) in the settings, leaving everything else as default, and the colors in my pictures seem spot on.
*edit- figured out the config file thing. I can see the very subtle pink tinge you mentioned (which wasn't there before applying the config, but it didn't let me choose between camera lenses before the config, so...). I see all kinds of color-related things in the config file, but don't actually know what in the config is safe to edit to try fixing it, lol.
Now if this was fine tuning a ReShade setting for a PC game...
We usually need to use the "snap" or "snapcam" package for phones where OnePlus doesn't restrict access to the auxiliary cameras (wide, macro, zoom, etc). It's the second apk on both of download pages for the versions linked above.
GCams with other package names often can only access the main rear / front camera.
