Changelog
Speed up color/mono image fusion.
Fix 360 video saving.
General stability fixes.
Oh, cool. Those of you with the phone, be sure to test it thoroughly. The camera is the main thing keeping me from getting the phone.
Not super impressed. Maybe more speed stability improvements instead of quality. Here are two shots, no flash, same exact spot. One is with the Google camera and one is the Essential camera. See if you can guess which is which.
EDIT: Just to add that I'm at least happy to see updates coming. It's only been a week and we have another update. And I'm still eager to see what this NMI64C build is that I keep seeing reference to.
Update didn't do much
Fix your shutter Lag and Post Processing Software already!!
It's a step in the right direction. Definitely improved the stability and processing time but not enough for me to switch back from the gcam
Edit: also noticed non HDR pictures seem to be coming out better using the stock app vs gcam (stock left, gcam right)
Well can this update be done manually? It say not available in ur country for me

I think this is the latest version.
Wonder why this is on the play store, and wasn't pushed out in an OTA update ?

It's faster and easier to push a single app update thru G play than a OTA file. OTA files are always released in stages some might get it tonight and the rest another day- gplay everyone get's it within hours.

Because someone has to do it. Mods feel free to delete if it ends up being unnecessary.
My first opinion is that it is an improvement over the firmware the S7e came with, but is still missing simple features that the Note7 had built into the UI.

Agreed. I imagine those will be included in official since this has to replace the Note 7.
Honestly, I'm impressed for this to be a beta release. While not totally lag free, some areas are smoother on this beta than in the official MM firmware. Lots of new features

Its a completely new UI is the camera. It is similar to the Note 7, but it is different too. Its not the exact same. It does load WAY faster though and the shutter speed is super fast. Overall a great addition to the firmware.

If anyone wants me to screen shot anything specific so they can see the features let me know. There are a tons of changes and if you never saw the Note 7 UI it might be nice to see them.
---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------
Just found another new feature that is pretty awesome. You can adjust the DPI of the firmware in the developer settings. It is standard at 360, but I changed it to 450 (%25 increase) and now it looks WAY better. Nice feature for one of the things I use to always want root for.
Ok so first here is the screen shot of the adjusted dpi
Here is all of the screens from the camera app

Hi friends - Our team has been hard at work delivering ongoing updates as fast as possible. And today, we’re excited to announce (here on Reddit first) the launch of our Oreo beta program!
We’re dedicating tomorrow’s bi-weekly AMA to chat all things Oreo. Until then, see important details below.
Where can I download the beta?
You can download the Oreo beta here, along with each of our previous releases.
How do I install the beta? Once installed, can I go back to the most current public release?
You will receive instructions once you submit your e-mail address here to sign up for the beta.
How can I provide feedback/report bugs?
Please submit feedback using this form. We’ll monitor comments on Reddit as much as possible, but using the form is the best way to ensure your feedback reaches our team.
When will you officially release Oreo?
Your testing will help us accelerate the public release of Oreo. Our goal is to release it before the end of the year. We’ll be in a position to provide a clear timeline once we start to get feedback from this beta program.
Please note:
The Oreo Beta is pre-release software that may contain software bugs. We welcome and encourage you to let us know about issues you experience. However, our Support team is working to get you the final Oreo release as soon as possible. So they won't be available to troubleshoot any software issues that you may encounter on the Oreo Beta.
And if you decide that you don't want to continue on the Oreo Beta, that's OK. You can revert to the latest version of Android Nougat from the Current Builds section of this site. Downloading the Oreo Beta from us won't affect your Essential Limited Warranty rights. But it may affect the terms of any third party warranty you may have.
Known issues list (updated 11/14)
Intermittent Bluetooth connectivity issues with certain auto brands
Battery performance degradations until optimized Oreo framework complete
Occasional ANRs with certain apps
So glad I got this phone.. Looking more and more promising

How's the UI fluidity?
I performed a straight upgrade with everything I was using still installed. It went flawlessly and runs perfect. I did not have to reinstall a single app or re-add any of my personal information. Very pleased with the upgrade both in installation and operation. Nova Launcher seems to run more smoothly for me, could be in head though. Super happy to have Oreo, does not feel like a Beta build thus far.

Is everything else working including slow motion? And is there any lag compared to the unmodified systema's camera speed? Cause I've experienced those in 7.0, and a lot of crashes

I worry that the Pixel camera is not optimized for the Mi A1. Are there any comparison shots to see if there is a difference in picture quality?
PS: I know that I am suggesting that the current camera app is optimized, which is a little ludicrous if you consider the low light performance

The current stock (A1) camera is a king in daylight. Both rear and Portrait ... But in low light its not. Pixel camera won there. .. For example if u like to take a Portrait shot in extremely low light in A1 then Pixel Camera will help. With Flashlight also....
I don't have any comparison shots now. But i can tell u its worth. 200% worth

This is great news, thank you! It makes me hopeful that the low light performance in the vanilla version of the A1 will improve significantly with software updates... fingers crossed
This is Epic! It's wonderful how Google proves to be a portrait maestro without dual cameras!!
Same lights (none) and still portrait mode acheived with flash from front camera. I am so happy to have a phone running on Oreo and to have stumbled upon this post. Thanks.

Hi guys,
The Google camera app listed on play store isn't compatible. If some one can share the modded gcam app for Moto g7 power it would be very much useful.
I tried the arnova version available in the APK mirror and it worked well for photos
I have the Google camera Mod Pixel 3 Version from the g7 Plus,it works fine on the g7 power,too.

Please use the official XDA Google Camera Hub, which is located here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/
As for the actual apk, it can be downloaded here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g7/themes/gcam-moto-g7-portrait-night-sight-video-t3906296
I've been using the GCAM app in the above link and it is frickin awesome. I also own a first gen Pixel XL, and pictures with the GCAM app on a Moto 7 power is comparable. I would almost say that dynamic range is better on the Moto 7 Force. The only thing the Pixel XL does better is faster HDR processing. If you take a bunch of HDR pictures in a row the Moto 7 Force may bog a bit. But not a lot. I have not had the app force stop or lock on me yet.
The GCAM app is far and away much better than the stock camera app. I completely removes the fuzziness and/or blurring in low light. Trust me, I have young kids and this app allows me to take really good pictures of them. Before using the GCAM app, it has been really hit or miss.

I've found that default settings are rather aggressive. I've toned down the total frames to 4 as to avoid stretching and tearing. In the camera, click on More and then on Settings, then on BSG MOD Settings, then HDR+ Parameters. The MIN and MAX frames define how many frames the camera stitches together to create the final picture. I have mine at 4 and am happy with it. In low light, you can get better results by using more frames. However, you will be waiting a LONG time since our camera's don't have dedicated Visual Core image processing unit. If you have max frames at 10 and take 2-3 shots in a row, the phone will lag the images are created.
Play around with it and have fun!
Which is the latest you're referring to? I get confused with so many different versions.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------
Actually after testing out several different versions, there's some weird blurryness/focus issues going on that I'm not experiencing with the regular camera app. I don't know, I'm very disappointed, pictures are still better with the main app ehh.
Anyone please try gcam on OP7PRO & SHARE samples from both stock as well as images captured from gcam please
Check out this post in the Q&A section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/gcam-mod-7-pro-t3930459 That seems to be where most of the activity is for gcam.
Did some comparisons here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/camera-comparison-gcam-vs-stock-t3931423
All seem working well exept the front facing camera where resolution is 4mp and 12 in portrait, also in portrait mode some underexposure and lack of focus.
I pm Arnova with same info, hope will have a new version soon.

Then lower the frame capture rate... It's gcam.... And it will only be slower like that in low light... With the way I have it set you will get good quick captures outdoor and slower but better quality indoor or low light situations without needing to use night sight.
how do you get playground working..i don't see that option?
Got everything to work with your setup but is there a reason the back cam is set to 8.3 megapixels?
Pics come out too Cool
So, I've tried these different mods, and while sharpness is better with them, I feel like the colors come out way too cool and not true to real life at all. Complete opposite of what I get with my Pixel 3XL. Anyone experiencing the same, or perhaps has gotten a GCAM mod they are really happy with?

Here are some example I took on my OP7P. I used gcam and stock camera. I have to say that the stock camera is pretty sad.
I love the phone, but I am very disappointed in the camera.
The night photos were taken with Nightsight on GCam and Nightscene on stock.
GCam seems to come out much cool indoors, not staying as true to the colors sometimes. Stock is definitely not capturing the details.
