UPDATE : Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye version GCam with detailed settings below is still the best overall. Because onFire's Gcam (based on @cstark27 's Camera PX 4.1) is good but has some bugs : slowmotion, sabre with selfie, camera sound etc... for bugs : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog886/
Especilally shooting with flash and videos Parrot is better than onFire. onFire was better in night sight and most conditions. But things may have changed with the last iso change in the parrot settings. The parrot is very good now.
You can install and use two Gcams at the same time without any need. I think it's best to use both.
Keep in mind : after installation Clear data of the apps.

I tried many gcam versions for our Poco F1. I think this is the best gcam 7 version by Parrot043 with the best photo quality for both miui 11.0.5 global stable android 9 (P) and miui 11.0.4 global stable android 10 (Q) on 22/02/2020.

I think the worst part of this gcam version is that it doesn't have "flash option" in night sight mode on back camera.

I don't think any Gcam has flash in Night Sight mode, including Pixels. Google has marketed it as better night photography without flash!!

This is wrong data.
In small and too dark places (for example rooms with no light and too dark) google night sight with no flash is garbage and even the normal camera with flash is better than night sight.
And also yes, we have Gcam has flash in Night Sight mode and almost stable. for example ;
on this link : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-marlin-ku/
you can install and see : GCam_7.2.018_Nokia_8.1_008d.apk and MGC_7.2.011_BSG_Urnyx05-v1.4_010.apk
But, still as I said before I tried this and other many gcam versions for our Poco F1. I think this is the best gcam 7 version by Parrot043 with my settings for the best photo quality.
I hope, @sannn111ty and @Sreekantt will make more better on updated GCam versions soon.
On mi8, if you set Pixel AWB Mod on Pixel 4 XL, it doesn't work. If you set Pixel AWB Mod on Pixel 3A XL you can see difference between a pic with AWB or not.
Firstly, I'm talking about poco f1 , sorry.
if you are talking about flash option on night sight mode, yes i tried GCam_7.2.018_Nokia_8.1_008d.apk and MGC_7.2.011_BSG_Urnyx05-v1.4_010.apk with Pixel AWB Mod on Pixel 3. On this gcams; in small and too dark places (for example rooms with no light and too dark) google night sight With Flash is best than all other gcams. Also this two gcams don't have pixel 3 xl or pixel 4 xl awb mod, sorry i think you mess.
if you are talking about parrot's 7.0.009 gcam; pixel 4 xl awb works flawlessly.
thanks.

If i select pixel 3a xl I can see difference between a pic with AWB or not.

You should use any app cloner aplication. Simply; if you cannot install gcam app due to the package name, install this gcam apk via the app cloner app. First select the gcam apk on your phone via the app cloner and hit clone icon. Then install the cloned gcam apk via the app cloner.
Note: If you're experiencing crash, enable the "skip native libraries" option under "Cloning options" when creating cloned gcam.
How to use app cloner : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/how-to-duplicate-clone-apps/
Please, don't remove PE rom's stock gcam otherwise MAYBE it create problem.

Are newer updates from parrot043 like 7.3 or later, good enough or this version (7.0.9) is best.

So it has been awhile since I tinker with Gcam, and now that I have finished the modding of it and no longer have my Mix 3, I will upload the final copy of Gcam. As usual thanks to everyone from defcomg, cstark27, san1tyy, xtreme, bsg, zoran.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rBUkxfz2IlG_0SGaTlJ2G6mL-16Bx8LY
Changelog:
-added corrected black level for most shots. Bl corrected for 1/30 shutter so you will have slight tint on slow shutter at extreme low light conditions.
-modified xlib2 to remove tint, and noise
-new menu and icons
Bugs:
-sometimes hdr+ enhanced at 40 frames or 36 frames will not save the first shot, but shot afterwards will save. Tried to find a fix but cannot so use lower frames for most stability, ie.. 25 or so.
Feb 7th, 2019
Update: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IKGyubiBrdqWVp_gQfmTLaA8HErtoyk7
-added lens blur mode courtesy of san1tyy to take picture of objects and animals
Recommended settings:
-Rear camera set to Pixel 3 XL
-Processing set to 2018 zslr hdr+
-set frames to 40 for min and max for best low light shot (will take some time to process), or set to 20 for both for quick shots
-hdr+ enhance and night sight set min iso compensation to 1/3 or 1/4 s for best shot, but hands have to be still as possible
-exposure compensation to +0.6
-chose Xlib for lib choice
So several have stated that shutter isn't working on global rom, and some other Mix flagship such as Mix 2/2S doesn't work so with help from san1tyy, metadata was cleaned up and should be working now
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hu9tm0ZSMI3F645rSr2wXq3HhMRP5DUp
Feb 4th, 2019
After bunch of trials and error, lib modding here and there, finally got a working stable version with some new changes with help from Zoran, Savitar, Xtreme, and San1tyy . Lib modding for awb using different calibrations from various devices would not play nice due to either unsaturated or nuclear saturation, especially from S9 series, so I just left it stock for now. Here's the new apk: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1scOaLD8_eeZEdlaR6q1lCXzUSLtb6miB
Changes:
-added compensation exposure
-new lib (Xlib) with sharpened decreased
-frames changed to 40 instead of 45 due to exif cache size error and won't save image
-qc color awb works finally without the yellow tint, thanks big time to Savitar
-UI changes
enjoy guys and donation are welcome so I can get more devices to work on. Paypal: [email protected]
The iso slider had an issue, and wouldn't capture. Also sabre and pixel 3 awb was not included so this version is updated to include it
https://drive.google.com/open?id=11ORyhdqIjFXNlZFsdfA0NDEW8auU3aNr
So sliders had some issue of not triggering for both iso and focus. After multiple test trials, san1tyy and defcomg pulled through again and got it working! APK is also cleaned up to only include Edzman v3, savitar v2, and stock google libs. Enjoy guys.

Make sure you are on the latest global beta from Xiaomi, or the latest beta from xiaomi.eu for camera not to lag in viewfinder and processing HDR+. This mod is based on BSG's latest version with working telephoto lens. Thanks to the great defcomg, xtreme and san1tyy over at telegram, here are the changes:
-added 45 frames, and 50 frames. The 50 frames will cause viewfinder to flicker like crazy but it does works.
-removed ISO limit of 9600 because stock camera can go up to 19000+ iso
-long exposure added for up to 32 seconds in hdr+ enhanced and night sight
-manual focus sliders and exposure sliders
Slo motion should work, motion photo do not work because of lib issue from xiaomi. For configs, use Pixel XL for rear camera, processing use 2018 zlsr+, front camera can use Pixel 3 XL. Using Pixel XL gives correct awb vs Pixel 3 XL which gives a true to life color at night time with low lighting (ie.. 5 to 10 lux).

I'm on official global ROM as well and the view finder is incredibly laggy
global rom will do this, you need to be on global beta or xiaomi.eu rom or chinese beta rom
Any news on the global stable update?
I find the Xiaomi forums a pain to navigate otherwise would check myself heh.
Hi xterminater07, Thanks for your work! Its impressive! I use this version of gcam for my LG G6 and works great but I have some doubts about the 32s long exposure. Could you tell me what file inside the gcam package can I modify to try other configurations? I decompile the apk but I cant find where the parameters are for the amount of seconds depending on the lux. Thanks!!!
PD: Sorry for my bad english
All the lags and slowness disappeared after the latest global update (received the ota and updated an hour ago), now when I tried night Sight, taking multiple shots in a row etc etc there are no lags whatsoever anymore for me!
I was just about to flash the EU rom to fix the lags but no need anymore!

Does any one find that you have to tap twice on the camera button to take a pic? Very annoying
Thanks for this great port! Is it possible to implement the option that the portrait photos wont be saved in a separate folder? In the port for Pocophone it is...
Thank you again!
How do I enable the telephoto lens?
Sorry, just figured it out. Enable Aux camera in BSG settings, then double tap change camera icon (the one to change to front camera). It changes from back normal > front > back telephoto.

Does portrait mode work on your Mix 3? When i select portrait it zooms-in and only makes one photo while it says 'burst images'. When i disable zoom on portrait the only thing that seems to change is the zoom, but no acutal portrait shot. Well.. it seems the same as a normal photo

I noticed that it does not work for small objects, but works well with people. I guess the subject has to be far enough for portrait mode to actually work.
Regarding the telephoto lens, there seems to be no noise reduction applied to it, unlike the main lens. This results in very grainy photos especially during the night. Can you add noise reduction, or an option for it for both lenses in the settings? Thanks

have you tried clicking on the resulting image, if you open it, you will see a blurred one and the non-blurred editions.
so the resulting image is like a folder that when you open, it will have the blurred edition inside it.
Ive discovered that the newest Gcam port from the Pocophone thread also works on our Mix 3! It has more options like save in camera folder when taking portrait shots and so on... Everything works, is there any downside using it?
I'm looking for the best quality camera, with details even when zooming taken photo.
The sensor is like Pixel 3 and that should not be a problem.
Thanks in advance.
MGC_6.1.021_XCAMBase_F1_v5a version gives me the best results. It produces clear photos, also in dark spots on a photo. Especially with the Hdr+ base config on: BSG config PixelplusNS HDR+ and rear cam on Pixel 1

This is the latest gcam by BSG: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.2.030_RazerPhone2_V2.apk
Note that this is the base version of Gcam. Other developers like San1ty work on top of the BSG gcam. But I prefer the original one.
For settings, I turned OFF "save location" , "camera sound" , "google lens suggestion" , "enable google photo", "grid type".
I turned ON "remove af data from the screen".
On advanced setting page,
OFF: HDR+ control, RAW+JPEG control, Store videos efficiently.
ON: Show dirty lens warning.
Default AWB: Google
Quality HDR+: High
Saturation: Medium
Final JPG quality HDR+: 100%
Apply quality HDR+ to night sight: OFF
Disable zoom in portrait mode: OFF
Force close the app once after making the changes.
Hi everybody. I've tested many version of gcam for the find x2 lite and the only who work very well ( with HDR++ and night mode) is the last version of urnyx. Here https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk. i have changed the setting in the advanced parameters / library) shadows at 10 and hilights to 25. For the main camera i've changed sharpness to 1,25, noise reduc to 0,875 . Choose google white balance on the first menu and imx586 in parameters. Only main camera works. You can also use the opporeno2byFlo xml, in the list of configs. It's the same story. Flo7591

Gcam= more details, natural contrast and naturals colors (with good setting). Better HDR and exposition and night mode. Day and night. If gcam ports are so popular on so many smartphone , that is the reason. Maybe except for the premium and expensive phone ?
The apk works perfectly with the settings you suggested, thanks a lot!
I'am tryind this version, there a lot of setting that we can use:
https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V3.0.apk
but i have only this problem with a GOOGLE AWB in Automatic mode;
the skin of the person, with Google AWB, in Automatic, turns me yellow / orange. If I activate the GOOGLE AWB it becomes too "Cold". I change the to Pixel3 in Imx586 but never change. Is there any settings I can change? thanks
Yellow Skin .... in Auto GOOGLE AWB.
If you AWB ON or HDR+ PLUS .....the skin it's similar to naturale.
Anyone have some ideas to set up in AUTO , correctly? tnx
Now, the best Gcam I've tried for Find X2 Lite is:
MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0i_libs (BSG, 23/02/2021)
* I haven't tried the most recent version (27/02/21)
The AWB works fairly good, with hdr mode activated, essential to avoid noise
Also includes the ultra wide angle camera, which works correctly and improves the native camera
Unlike the native camera, the ultra-wide angle camera allows zooming
The front camera also improves a lot compared to the native
A trick: a double clicking anywhere on the screen goes from angular to 2x
With Android 11 the ultra wide angle camera doesn't work
I'm currently testing a Google Camera port on the ASUS ROG Phone 3. I am using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0_Wichaya_snapcam_V2.2 by Wichaya. Here are my observations so far with respect to compatibility:
id 0 = main camera 16 mp
id 1 = front camera 24 mp
id 2 = ultra wide camera 13 mp
id 3 = macro camera 5 mp
id 4 = main camera 64 mp raw
Observations:
All 4 lenses work, including the two rear auxiliary cameras (wide-angle and macro.) You have to go to Settings > Advanced > Auxiliary camera and enable them there.
64MP unbinned images can be captured, it's ID4. Aggressive denoising seems to remove a lot of detail. Play with the Luma denoise and Chroma denoise values in Settings > Advanced > Lib patcher.
HDR+ enhanced works with 64MP capture.
Max video recording is 4K60. 8K30 not available.
Slow motion crashes, so no 4K120 available.
Current issues:
No distortion correction for the wide-angle camera
Selfies are always 24MP, no pixel binning
I will get camera samples at a later date.
Thanks to Wichaya for their assistance!

One thing that amaze me is a lot of high resolution stuff such as 64 mp, 8k video resolution and 4k slow motion are in id 4 instead of the usual id 0
The camera2 api is similar to Zenfone 6 and Rog Phone 2 but with separate ids for high resolution
Thanks Mishaal for testing :good:
How are the photos compared to the stock camera?
I would buy Asus ROG Phone 3, but the camera does not satisfy me 100%... so I'm much interested to GCAM "mod" Asus ROG Phone 3 results!
This one was captured by gcam urnyx modded for rog2 the xml configs also from rog2 , I'm using a normal lens with hdr+
Sorry I had to make another comment since my mobile data is so slow right now, same gcam same settings but this one is a night mode one.

I think the 60fps video recording is not 60. The video recording with stock camera is much much smoother. Can anybody confirm amd is there a solution?
Hey guys. Just checking in to see how the gcam is going for this device, is it a great improvement over the stock cam?
any working gcam ports??....mine force closing whenever i launched it luckily im not a camera enthusiast but having a working gcam port is assuring though....gonna have to wait few month more i assume
Gcam works good on rog
Using Posted GCam, and its definitely better than stock, but i do get issues with focus on GCam, it hunts. I expected the cam to be better on rog3, vs rog2, buts its not. ASUS needs to invest more time on its cams. They are pretty bad.
but then again.. this is a gaming phone. and they are investing more on the gaming features
Here are some pics I've taken:

How do you take a picture of a bird moving with 2 different cameras and the bird looks in the same exact position? Unless the picture is taken out of a book or magazine
In other more info see the other bird behind has moved, :laugh:

That bird is a cormorant. It stood there with its wings like that for a while. It does it to dry its wings. Or so I've read online.
Thanks for this app. GCam works faster, when I take pictures at 64 MP with Asus cam app it is pretty slow. But GCam pictures quality is lesser than Asus app.

Gcam quality is lesser? WTF? Dont use 64 mp, thats the magic in Gcam, the pixel binning. Unfortunately the cam on the rog3 is very bad, and not much will fix it.

The cam is not that bad. I had no bad shot with this phone, it sure is less good than the note 10 + of my wife but nothing wrong with the cam while using Asus cam app. Can't say that about GCam that is even after modding it, optimized to use with Pixel phone.
More samples
Here are some more samples from stock cam and gcam. The stock cam pics are the ones on the left and top.

Just adjust the exposure compensation to your own value. The rest works fine for me. Hope you can use it
Hi, this might sound very naive but I'd like to learn how to port google camera to another phone. I know some basic programming skills. Could you direct me to some resources I could read to better understand the process. Thanks.
THX for this port !
A note, the 60 fps video mode does not work, and records in 30 fps. And the slow motion crash mode.
Also I don't see a big difference between HDR + and advanced HDR +, are there any?

You need to change lens to 64 mp for 60 fps video and slow motion to work

Thanks! However I'm having issues with taking any photo with the Front-Facing camera. It crashes every time I take a selfie.

Unfortunately no, choosing the 64PM sensor and 60fps does not make 60fps video but still 30. The slow motion mode no longer crashes with the 64MP sensor, but the video rendering is really weird, as if there were 1 images per second.
Hdr+ enhance (compare too Hdr+) works great with low light scenes effectively, thx

Turn off sabre for front camera. I made a mistake enable sabre for asus devices.
Or load the config from the main post
Can you tell me how to do that?
I cant seem to download the xml file in the first post, it says 404 not found

Just discovered that the 60fps option in video mode doesn't make 60fps video (only 30 fps) , but turn on the stabilisation
Strange issue, let's have a look.
