The original thread of the first posts and discussions here.
Hello! With the plethora of GCam ports out there (thank you, devs), my very objective is to make all necessary features work on our phone, all the while making things simple and clean possible. In contrast with the existing ports that have a lot of settings to tinker, I am aiming for a no-config port that simply works well. Please note that I am not a developer per se; you see, this was just a hobby that I am doing on my spare time and it occurred to me one day that I want to share my efforts to everyone else.
This port is designed and is working well on my Nokia 7 Plus (TA-1046) running Android 9.0 Pie. For the most part, this needs no extra config after installation. I have, however, provided several extra settings that you may play around to your desire.
If it works on your non-Nokia 7 Plus device, that's great! If not, please do not request fixes and/or features and instead head over to this website and look for one that works well on yours. ALSO, if you are into a lot of mod settings, this may not be the port for you. Again, check the link for the other ports.

GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.3 (final) (Original post)
Changelog:
- Toggle to directly save Portrait shots to /DCIM/Camera (thanks san1ty): a lot of people wanted this feature, so here it is. But be warned: I haven't done any extensive tests to verify if the portrait bug from previous versions still occur here; so far it's okay. Use at your own risk.
- Toggle to use custom lib (from @cstark27): from the custom libs I've tried, Sav ZA v3 is so far the best in my opinion. It significantly reduces black crush while keeping noise reduction etc the same as stock lib. However, this also reduces overall contrast and/or saturation. It's your choice.
- Enabled DCI-P3 color space: I honestly don't know what this does, but I hope enabling it brings some sort of improvement.
- Fixed washed-out RAW photos (thanks for the tips @Urnyx05): RAW (.dng) photos now won't have washed out colors straight out of the camera.
Again, If the app is lagging or acting weird, just clear app data and follow the installation instructions described in the previous versions.

F.A.Q.
What are the GCam settings for?
These are extra features on top of the original Google Camera app for Pixel devices that give more options for the user to play around. Later versions have a "Gcam settings info" page under "About", where each additional setting is briefly described.
What are the best settings?
I made this port such that no special configs and adjustments are needed for the most part. You can change toggles like Location if you want, of course. Furthermore, I have included the GCam settings for additional settings in case anyone wants to do some extra modifications.
Why is it that when I zoom in completely, the display stops midway but the final photo is in fact zoomed?
Why is it that when I double-tap-to-zoom, the final photo seems a bit shifted compared to what is displayed?
I have answered it here.
Why is the max megapixels for front camera only 4MP while the stock camera can go up to 16MP?
I honestly don't know why, but I'm certain that only the Nokia Camera can tap into the full potential of the sensor. Even 3rd party hardware analyzer apps would always declare 4MP. But it produces some seriously good photos for a 4MP size, don't you think?
Why won't it install in my device?
This could be for a couple of reasons: (1) this was developed for Android 9.0 Pie, so no assurance that it will run on lower versions; (2) there could be conflict with an existing GCam app so in that case, uninstall that first before installing this. If both weren't the case, a reboot might help. Or in worst cases, a hard reset may be done.

Download the latest test2.3, it fixes the bug

All versions of Gcam crash really often when i switch modes, for example from normal to video, night sight, etc. Specialy if there is some background HDR processing. It is a pain in the a__.

Have you tried clearing data/reinstalling the app? Or tried rebooting your phone? The most serious case I have experienced so far was when the app started crashing at start that I can't use it at all; this happened after repeated switching between slow motion. A single phone reboot fixed it, though.

Thanks your the new version, you are the true MVP of this community!
Night SIght working well.
I found a bug though. If you enable classic photo viewer and you take a shot then delete it in the app, it only delets the photo in the app's photo gallery, but it will not be deleted in the google photos app

That's because the classic photo viewer is only capable of local, phone-only actions. When the photo is already uploaded via the auto back up in the full Google Photos app, deleting that photo using classic viewer will only delete the phone copy and leaves the uploaded copy untouched; so when you open Google Photos, the still-there photo is the cloud-only copy.

Oh I see, thanks for letting me now! I guess I will delete pics only from the google photos app
PS: Just noticed that the video sound being too low got fixed! You can finally use gcam for video recording yay!

Thanks for your work.

Hello! With the plethora of GCam ports out there (thank you, devs), my very objective is to make all necessary features work on our phone, all the while making things simple and clean possible. In contrast with the existing ports that have a lot of settings to tinker, I am aiming for a no-config port that simply works well. Please note that I am not a developer per se; you see, this was just a hobby that I am doing on my spare time and it occurred to me one day that I want to share my efforts to everyone else.

GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.3
Changes vs. test2.2 :
- Redesigned settings page: all port settings are now housed in "GCam settings" found at the very bottom of the Settings page.
- Fixed Night Sight with Pixel 3 AWB: Night Sight now works with Pixel 3 AWB toggled on.
- Added toggle for "Enable Lens Blur": to fix the bug where the app crashes when attempting to launch video shortcut from the launcher, turn this off.
- App now auto-restarts for every change in the GCam settings
- Pixel 3 AWB is now set to disabled by default: you can toggle it back on in the GCam settings whenever you like.
- Recolored GCam settings icons to match the app theme: also added a version info at the bottom.
NOTE: fresh re-install or "clear storage" after installation is recommended to clear up isolated cases like crashing Portrait Mode, etc.
Known issues:
- Tap-to-focus in video mode breaks autofocus; workaround is switching to other modes and back.
- Manual white balance in camera mode doesn't work, but it works in other modes; in Portrait Mode and on the front camera, it works with tap-to-focus.
- 60 FPS video doesn't work and only produces 30 FPS. I'm also not sure if our phone is even capable of recording 60 FPS in the first place.
- Some reports mention lagging of Google Photos. In my case, clearing Photos app cache did the trick, and so far it's working fine.
The very purpose of this update is for the Night Sight fix, but I figured I'd do some redesigning along the way. Hope you like it! BTW, I've been seeing comments, notably from the original thread and the Nokia 7 Plus (Global) Facebook group, that the photos with the Pixel 3 AWB comes out "very different" to what they actually see, and sometimes with a hint of red. You see, some people like the colors as what their eyes perceive, while others wanted the natural colors without the light tints (Pixel 3 AWB does an impressive job correcting WB). And as for the red colorations, I'm not sure why but I guess that's an effect of the heavy processing with the config. Again, it all comes down to personal preference: if you feel like it's being too aggressive or the red tints are quite noticeable, you can turn it off.
I'll be taking a break from this project for a while again as I'm getting off track from work and studies because of this LOL. Gotta get focused. Again, thanks for the big help everyone!

@Your effort towards this project is really appreciated, please look I not working on the quality and sharpness as the pictures produced are most times dark and too much noise etc

---

just wanted to let you know that your port works almost petfectly for Nexus 6P on Pie custom rom, only viewfinder in front camera night sight is up side down, but functionally perfect, and white balance settings work in every mode.

---

@back.rider555 good work brother .. Can you please add the all libs or at least the last 2 libs of this version of GCam (MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.4a_TlnNeun.apk) because its good for our N7P ..

---

I keep getting crashes on Google photos whenever I take a couple of photos with motion on. I tried with backrider's 2.3 version and a few other's and all of them crashed while turning on motion on Google photos. When I tried turning off hdr I works properly. Everything else works perfectly just this.

Yes, it happens with other versions from other developers too. It get's stuck when taking a couple of pictures and changing between modes, for example to selfie or nightsigth.
