Google Camera 6.1[ no root] VS Pocophone's Stock Camera Comparison - Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi,
A very special thanks to B-S-G for making pixel 3 camera port for Poco F1 and
Also Sreekant(XDA senior Member) for letting us know and for links.
Google camera 6.1 is just a beast
When I took some night/low light shots from both gcam6.1 and Poco F1's stock camera I really shocked how good the night mode is.
And I'm also a small growing YouTuber so pls Checkout my channel,that would be too helpful and I really do appreciate it.

The rear camera has no difference but the selife in front camera is much better with gcam

Yep. Front camera is where you can notice how bad Stock camera struggles with light exposure. Whereas there's no problem on Gcam.

Please check attached photos, clearly MI 6 wins, even without Gcam. Stock camera HDR on Poco is useless unfortunately

**nevermind

Is it just me or rear potrait mode isn't working?
Front is working like a charm but not rear.

And it's barely noticeable

Nice.,,,
Gotta try this one.

Has anyone compared the video quality on both cameras? Which one is the go?

Impressive,really do good job in low light.

Sorry but... Dont know why you All are so happy with the Port. Its slow... Standard Pictures issue to take 2 or 3 seconds... After 3 shots the App halts. Yes the Image Quality is good but there is no WAY to Make serious images with IT...

Will this work on miui 10? I tried clicking pictures with this v6.1 but it was not working

You've probably not configured it probably

Excuse me? I haven’t configured it proberly?
Are you kiddin me ? Sorry I expected to use a camera app as it comes for the device... my fault. You`re right Next time i’m Gonna configure it correct before using it. Didn’t expect it was windows what we were talking about.
I’m fine if you tell me this app needs a pie rom for best usage and indeed i only tried it on Miui 10 beta so far - but on miui10 it sucks. As i installed in in more than one version.
Edit:
I don`t want to miscredit the developer of the app in general. I really appriciate his work here. I would love to use it really - but cant in daily usage. thats all i wanted to say.

How to enable mirror image on gcam?

In settings the front camera says 5 megapixels and can't be changed higher than that. Are the photos in 5 megapixels or is it just a visual bug.

Pixel 3 Google Camera - GCAM port for Poco F1

Hi all,
Will be any chance to port the GCam from Pixel 3 for Poco F1?
Many thanks
Well we will get one but need time for xda wizards to do their magic
Pixel 3 Camera port might fix the low light photo problems etc with that ai night sight. The features are all software based and so they should work on the port might as well due to similar hardware except forthe custom Visual Core chip. Definitely looking forward to test modes like TOP SHOT, PHOTOBOOTH , NIGHT SIGHT, SUPER RES ZOOM on the port

It will always be 5mp since there is pixel binning of 5mp x 4 = 20mp

If you are disappointed, then use MIUI Stock camera. Nobody is forcing you to use Gcam mod.
If you want shutter speed, then set your exposure to 1/16 at night.
Here is the test version of pixel 3 camera. Only for test.

First stop *****ing. The developer who mods owes you nothing. If you find something not working, report it as an issue and submit the logs. Stop whining like a kid.

I am using this one as well and i have tested others and they certainly work but I'm going to assume it's a known thing that it only gets 4K 30 frames per second and doesn't have the 960fps slow-motion either. I didn't double-check but it seemed to me that the front and rear camera resolutions were less than the specifications of the phone as well but I may be wrong.

As far as i understand it correct the front cam only has 6MP instead of 24MP with using the GCam app.

Asus Zenfone 6 Google Camera APK/Gcam Mod

Asus Zenfone 6 Google Camera APK/Gcam Mod.
Anyone with Zenfone 6 please share the compatibility with Gcam 6.1 or 6.2. This phone has near stock android and Sony IMX 586 sensor so i think it will have great gcam support. I wonder if third party camera app will be able to trigger the flip camera, for example shooting selfie with the 48mp camera using gcam.
Updated : 12/06/19 : Asus is sending Zenfone 6 to @Arnova8G2 for development https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-6-custom-rom-twrp-lineageos/
Arnova release the first gcam for Zenfone 6, supports 48MP HDR+ Enhanced https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2-beta/#apk935

Theoretically we shouldn't be able to shoot RAW, but from the information i've gathered we can shoot raw in stock camera app. I don't know how's the situation in 3rd party apps.
I'm worried a bit about gcam now. How will it work without full level_3 support.

Many phones also have full support instead of level 3 and gcam works fine. Including zenfone 5z.
Without raw support, (sony phone) the gcam will not work.

Dunno much about this stuff but I downloaded the Camera2 API Probe app on my Xiaomi Mix 3 just to see what the results are, and they are the same as the ones in TechTablet's Zenfone 6 video. And GCam works perfectly fine on my Mix 3. So it should work on the Zenfone 6 as well. The question that remains is, will the camera flip when switching to selfie cam in GCam? I haven't seen anyone test GCam on this phone yet.

I'd suggest trying ones that work on the Xiaomi Mi 9.
It's SD855 and the same camera module.
I did a lot of tries with unfortunately no luck. Seems the camera is overall inferior to the Mi8 which is somewhat disappointing :/

Slow camera shutter / slight lag while taking photos

Hi guys,
I tried two A3 phones with September update on it and what I've noticed was the slow camera, when you click to capture the photo there is +/- 1 sec delay.
I've also switched off HDR and AI but was still the same.
My Redmi Note 4 and Samsung S8 takes photos immediately.
Did you experience it or is it fixed already?
yes there is lag in official camera app, use gcam 7, zero lag and better quality

You won't find working 64mp on any Gcam port. You can get all lenses working and I believe a max of 48mp. That will still get you good photos. Higher megapixels doesn't always mean better pictures. I think you'd be satisfied.

I'm using Urnyx05's GCam port for some months now and am really satisfied. Still I would like to use the full resolution of the sensor to have more detail and be able to zoom in closer. Also using all the Quad Bayer features of the sensor would come in very handy. Otherwise it's just a waste of potential.

Unfortunately to use 64mp you would need to be running stock. I feel you tho, I run AOSP ROMs without Gapps, so I'm limited to just the main sensor at 16mp.

when change video res to 4K, it crashes and app shuts down
Dear Friends & Developers,
I installed it.
It works great except when I change the video res to 4K, app shuts down, whereas it works in full hd .
I was wondering if it can be fixed.
because I enjoy other functions of the program and I appreciate very much for the hard work.
I hope you fix it so that I could use your program rather than the phones default cam which takes 4K videos without any problem
all the best

Not going to happen. Only way to use stock camera is with stock firmware. If you want all working lenses on a custom rom then you will need Urnyx05 gcam.
Well, it is not what the OP asked for, but there are two free and open source Apps that can help with the Camera:
1. Open Camera - go into settings and enable Camera API V2. the quality of the pictures and videos are good.
2. FDcam - it allows you to use all the cameras, except for the depth camera. They all work.
Unfortunately, none of them get get more than 16Mpixels out of the main camera.
