Crash at launch means it's not functioning at all?
Is there any other gcam which is working?(maybe mi8 or mi mix 2s camera port)
None of BSG, Arnova, cstark, arthur work.
We will wait for the s845 pixel 3 to come out then we will have a fully functional gcam
Did you guys try out the one given in this video description?

@Arnova8G2, @shubham.bhavsar, @SH3H1
Camera samples from Arnovav7 beta test9 are aweful. Please look at samples from Poco F1 (V7 beta test9) vs Redmi Note 5 Pro (v8.1 beta3)
Redmi Note 5 Pro - 7.9MB
https://image.ibb.co/j2iG9e/Redmi_Note_5_pro.jpg
Poco F1 - 1.9MB (For some reason, it does not capture beyond 2-2.5mb) and hence loses details in images
https://image.ibb.co/gfctpe/Poco.jpg
Redmi Note 5 pro - Zoom (Look at the details on the pink basket, it is so clear. Look at the pink comb, and you can see the bristles clearly)
https://image.ibb.co/fbj1aK/RN5_PRO_zoom.png
Poco F1 - Zoom (Look at the washed away details on pink basket. The bristles are looking bad on pink comb)
https://image.ibb.co/bBi85K/Poco_zoom.png
Result - None of the GCAMs are currently producing good images. POCO F1

Sanjav, photos are again bad with 7.9.7 APK. I have a Redmi Note 5 pro, and Poco is not able to match the photo quality. As I said, we would require @Arnova8G2 to look into our phone. I am ready to donate $10 if he is willing to help us out. Other members could similarly contribute generously for his efforts.

Damn, I didn't look at the file sizes and thought MI improved the stock cam optimization a lot as it was capturing a lot better than Gcam. So it's definitely capable of massive improvement with Gcam. I hope it isn't hard for Arnova, Serjo & BSG to port stuff as the camera sensor is closer to Pixel 2 and other phones like MI 8 would also be benefited from this. We can tag Arnova & BSG after the sufficient logs are gathered.
You have to enable the camera 2 api firt then the gcam mod will work
I am using this currently
Potrait and HDR not working. But, HDR+ works great

It is enabled by default on Poco. You can run manual camera or such app to confirm

Do u have any particular settings to make it better

change HDR+ parameters to lowest. GCam HDR+ is slow anyway. And that is which makes GCam shots so good

Hie,
Can someone help me with Astrophotography feature on pixel 2XL.
I've installed the latest Gcam but neither any developer settings are showing up nor any hint for astrophotography.
Please give tips as to how to enable it.
I've tried uninstalling the app from itself and installing the gcam 7.0 but still no improvement.
After trying around a couple gcam mods, Tigr's seems to be the most stable / feature rich port, except for Night Sight which doesn't work. I'm looking for another port only for night sight.
Working :
- 3 lenses, Main, Wide angle and macro
- HDR+ Enhanced up to 100 frames
- Video up to 4k60 @200mbs
- Portrait mode
Not Working :
- Slow Motion
Link :
[url]https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tigr/[/URL]
I have submitted my xml file on celsoazevedo, but it isnt up yet.
Have you tried the Onfire port with the config for F2 Pro?
EDIT: Just tried tigr's gcam and didnt like the results, in fact after using Onfire for a while I have gone back to Urnyx and still prefer it overall.

Hi I used so many GCam version on my Nokia 5 but none of them work 100 percent.
But I found some version/mod that works well with Nokia 5 that I want to share.
These mod may also work on Nokia 6 as Nokia 6 have the almost same hardware
1st mod
GCam 6.1:
httpss://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_Arnova_advanced_1.4.031419.0947.apk
Config:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/f/2020/02/gcam-nokia-5-config.xml
Description:. This is a mod from Arnova8G2 . In my opinion this is the best GCam for Nokia 5 .Almost every feature works well in this mod . And it's fast.
(There is also a recent version but in that version I can't import my config file that's why I am not suggesting that version and night sight isn't working but if you wanna try here is the link
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk
If you solved the issue please let me know)
What's working on this mod
Night sight
HRD+ enhance
Portrait
Panorama
What's not working
Video
Slow motion
Time lapse
2nd mod:
GCam 7.3:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043-v2.apk
Description: This is a mod from Parrot043. If you wanna try GCam 7 then it works pretty well with Nokia 5. But it's slow and some time AWB makes the image a little bit yellow but other times it does a really great job. And I didn't find any config for this mod . But I made one which you can try.
What's working on this mod
Night sight
HRD+ enhance
Portrait
Panorama
What's not working
Video
Slow motion
Time lapse
3rd mod
GCam Go
https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/GCamGo_GreatnessNS1.apk
Description : This is a GCam go with night sight. Every feature works well . I didn't find any problem. It's very fast but does not have HDR or AWB .
Here are some photos from Nokia 5 with GCam 6.1 and 7.3 and. Config for 7.3(I don't know if the config is totally perfect or not I am just a normal user)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=19PZW7Si_su09f2EsPj2lMpso87ZAAvyb
I am not the developer any of this mod . I just found these and wanted to share . Sorry for my broken English . And please let me know if I did anything wrong. It my 1st post. Hope this post will help you to find the best GCam for your Nokia 5.
I'd love to get better night shots on the main sensor using GCam, and even better audio bitrate when recording as well.
Best I found until now:
Shamim GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by Shamim.
www.celsoazevedo.com
SGCAM_8.4.400.42.XXX_STABLE_V38FIX
Only main lens supported but stable and good picture quality.
There is gcam thread already. Continue with that thread.
Gcam for realme gt2 pro?
Hello! Is there any compatible version of gcam available with at least most of the stock camera app features? Most ports crash upon launching or taking a photo.
