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 tried the Urikill apk's specific for mido as well and it works as long as I didn't change anything in the settings. As soon as I do that both back and front camera just show a black screen (with controls still visible). A reboot doesn't help it neither does wiping the data ...

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.

I would certainly be interested!
After trying many Google Camera APKs and configurations I finally found one that's stable and has working video. Keep in mind that I only tested it on AEX 5.8 Oreo
Tutorial:
1. Download & install MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R4X_v.5.1.19-fu24_1.3.apk - you can find it on celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera
2. Go to settings > Developer Settings and enable camcorder.h265. This fixes video.
3. Go to settings > Advanced settings > Main camera and change Base model to Pixel XL. This fixes long capture times (at least for me)
4. Go to settings > Advanced settings > Experimental settings and set Resampling to Enabled (This increases photo quality) and Use Hexagon DSP to Yes (This increases stability)
5. [FOR GOOGLE PHOTOS USERS] Go to settings > Advanced settings > Photo view setting and tick Use Google Photo
6. [If your front camera takes greenish photots only] Go to settings > Advanced settings > Front-camera > Manual fixed black level offset > set to 14.00
6. Restart app completely.
Enjoy!
Crashes on AOSP 8.1.0. Have you tried it on other roms? I tried alot of different Gcams from www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ but every one is crashing for me. Also i cannot find settings > Developer Settings and enable camcorder.h265. in my settings.
On aex 5.8 crashes too, maybe we got different camera sensor ?

But it's not fully function does it?
As i choose portrait or video mode on the back camera the app crashes. I must choose the front camera first and through there i must turn it arround to the back camera avoiding the crash.
In all version that i've tried i also noticed there's no burst mode. I must take a picture at the time and wait for that to finish processing HDR+ :'(
Video 60fps is working on both front/rear camera without a problem but like i said if you want to use video on rear camera you must shortcut it through front camera first or the app will crash.
Other thing: if you want to use HDR+ on front camera you must choose portrait anyways or you'll not getting HDR+ effect (it saves 2 photos so you must choose the non-portrait one).
Do you know if here's no way on that version to disable zoom on portrait?

For me, when I open sometime it crashes but I don't need to open front camera first.
Yeah, front HDR+ not working in normal mode, only portrait mode.
I've tested a lot of Gcam versions and there is one where I need to open front camera first then I can use rear.
Well, I think the different version of ROM has a different effect on the Gcam, as well as Kernel.
I'll upload my setting later I got home

Hi to all,
I faind that moded Gcam last version 6.2 from bulkin043, web site:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bulkin043/#apk907
Is half way working. Video, timelaps , panorama is working in Mate 20 Pro. Other things just stopped work. I think that someone who know can fix this and make this application works very well.
On this web site you can faind moded Gcam for LG V40 or V30 so that means you can use all 3 camera lense. But still someone need to fix this application.
I would like if someone can contact bulkin043 for help. Or just make the petition if we need it. Or whether bit it will be fantastic of we have Gcam on this very strong camera hardware.
P. S. When you open the camera turn off "motion" and then swipe to the video or oanorama or more otions.

i have got this version works for back camera photos but you to use these settings and steps:
1. Download and install the following version (6.1.021) https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk
2. hold press on the camera app icon, from the pop up choose take a selfie ( the app may crash in the first time)
3. Allow for all permissions.
4. swipe for more, settings > advanced (the first one) > Base > Config > Pixel2017 HW Zsl Hdr Intent(need YUV) also 2018 is working
5. Go back for the in the same advanced menu and go to FIX > Viewfinder Format > YUV_420_888 (Default)
6. Optionally turn on HDR+ Control ( in settings > Advanced (the last option in the main menu)
Notes:
- the app will crash everytime you go settings after you apply previous settings.
- the app will crash when you switch between front & rear camera ( if you need to take a selfie just hold press on the app icon and choose take a selfie )
Those settings worked for me but i am not sure if google's HDR+ is working

Thanks for sharing, but all of them are quite unstable and besides HDR (I didnt see difference from normal mode) no special mode is working. As for normal camera mode I found postprocessing (PP) from huawei camera better->more natural with all 3 cameras working with Night mode ofcourse and STABLE!!! On the other hand Gcam on samsung S7e (I sell it yesterday) produced much better PP and functionality with HDR too. But is there any need for Gcam in these days when huawei is so good? Just my thought...
edit: I tested 3rd Gcam 6.2 side by side Stock camera (pro mode) and I have to say, in good light stock camera destroyed Gcam but when it comes to lowlight, gcam won every single shootout (with NO night mode) Ive got amazing noise free shots with good detail

Then you can disable the advanced settings.
2) select nexus 2 as front camera
3) In settings, you can enable motion shots like pixel devices... it will show a normal photo in gallery appp but from Google photo app, you can select a best shot from the motion shot

Thank you for this version. This is the first gcam version 6.2 something that I've tried that doesn't have any focus hunting issues in video. The other versions I've tried had focus hunting and the auto focus was very slow. Somehow they affected the stock cameras video foucs too. This version doesn't. Much appreciated

Did someone tried any gcam version for the zenfone 9? The cameras of this phone are suck, over sharpness, selfie? On paper good selfie sensor but the results are poor
Oversharpening effect on Zenfone 9 is very strong. Every Zenfone 9 user should inform Asus that they aren't happy about it on Asus forums:
ZenFone 9
zentalk.asus.com
If nobody reports anything on their official channels then Asus will think people like it
Try out the latest BSG gcam mod:
BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Working front, rear cameras. Haven't test everything. But so far so good. Wide angle works too. No config applied
The stock camera auto HDR pictures are way to overexposed. This is just an example I took this morning. I prefer the gcam output.
I will post about this in the Asus forum once I have more time.
Cheers

You can try lastest Wichaya's 8.1 v1.6 Gcam:
Wichaya GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by Wichaya.
www.celsoazevedo.com
The GCam makes photos look way better - how ever I'm not knowledgeable enough about the configs to know how to fix. The 8.1 Wichaya version seems to work the best. Though video modes still feel sluggish in the viewfinder. A lot of delay from moving the phone.
I also can't select the main 773 sensor in the noise reduction section. It's simply not there as an option.
Oh well. It seems to work otherwise. Slow motion and 50MP RAW has been disabled for now from Wichaya.
This guy evidently got GCAM working and notes improvements over native camera app.
Has anyone how things are with android 13? The Gcam is way better, but cannot be used for all purposes, I wish Asus just fixes the heavy post-processing so I can use the native app which is great by the way.
I just joined Android 13 beta program from my Zenfone 9. No ROM yet, but will let you know when they start rolling out.
I made a config for my Wichaya 8.1 and created noise model with some other adjustment to the settings
Enabled 50MP for video and slow mo only (partially working)
Just my 2 cents for wichaya.
The photo is tricky (but ugly) and the purpose was to demonstrate that the Asus process is not on par with the Gcam for color rendering and HDR.
The reds (box, chair and dress) are much more realistic on the Gcam shot. Same for the woody wall.
And look at the sky....

The 50M dont work
Did anyone get a gcam with working portrait mode? For me it doesnt apply the blur effect. I have to manually end the blur in Google Photos after

Works for me.
I'm using Wichya's Gcam mod + zenfone8/9 config. You have to take the photo in "Portrait" mode.

I'm a little new to this. How do I apply that config?

GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.6.apk
Wichaya8.1-ZF8-V5.xml
In the app, you Setting -> Advanced -> XML config -> Import XML config (and you import it).
Before it will allow you to import, you also have to give the gcam the "All Files" permission.

Thank you! Where do you find the config files?

Oh I worked out the problem. It only applies portrait mode to photos of people, not to other objects. I remember this was the case with the original Google Pixel 1 that I had.
Is it the same for you?
It doesn't pick up my dog, which is a bummer.

Sadly, I don't have a pet to check
It works on my front and rear camera in vertical or horizontal orientation. It only works this way in "portrait" app setting (so chosen from between Night Sight/Portrait/Camera/Video/more...).
I've provided you the link to the config file too. It's an .XML file in the previous comment.

Yes I got it thank you very much. I have a Pixel 6 too, and the portrait mode on that (and camera in general) is much better so I may just stick with that for now.
@eVen123 the config you link to is the one for Zenfone 8. Am I correct there is no Zenfone 9 config yet?
Is the gimbal stabilisation then used with Gcam?
