I'm using cstark27 Gcam HDR+ Mod: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk143 with standard settings. Works best for me, and I tried A LOT of modded Google Camera...

Thanks a lot for this hint, if you setup the advanced HDR+, set the picture quality to 100% (standard is 95%) and also enable the LG G6 Color correction (for dark light pictures) you get much better pictures in decent light or at night than with the HTC Camera App.

I'm using b-s-g Mod from the link above. Tested some other versions and settings, but in a more or less chaotic manner. Ended up with the following settings:
Config HDR+: Nexus 6 auto
Model: Pixel XL (corr)
Quality:100%

[SHARE] Enable EIS (Electronic image Stabilization) [Root]

I don't own a Mi A1 yet. But planning to buy one. Today I've found something interesting while searching google. Can anyone test it and let me know if it works? Thanks in advance.
The original post is here.
There is a way to enable EIS on Nexus 5X just as it's enabled in Nexus 6P. It was posted originally on Reddit here.
As EIS is a software thing, so i think the same procedure might work on Mi A1.
1. Edit build.prop
2. Add this line: persist.camera.eis.enable=1
3. Reboot
4. Go to Google Camera settings --> Resolution & Quality
5. Check "Enable video stabilization"
the camera app on mi A1 is customised and controlled by xiaomi unlike google on nexus 5x and 6p so i don't think it will work.If xiaomi pushes an update in the future to enable it then it would be great as they compared this camera to iphone 7 plus and OP5 and both have stabilization enabled on them but this phone doesn't!

Just installing the official Google Camera from APK Mirror was enough for EIS to work for me.

By the way, you could try Open Camera and it's stabilization feature.

I installed Google hdr+ and open camera...photos are absolutely brilliant with Google camera
...of course the worst is stock mi camera..it just gives artefacts and my unit the focus from that app is way off and everything looked out of focus.
.but getting good shots with Google camera hdr+ and there is electronic image stabilization in Google which should be the reason why mi app photos are really blurred
...am rooted via flashfire SuperSU on September patch. did build.prop edit to make Google camera work. Also made it system app . Else was fc on opening.. now all fine... enjoying my 15k pixel device..hehe..infact I have installed substratum and installed pixel ui as well...only thing I haven't tried is viper yet...but all root apps TB, BusyBox, es file explorer pro, etc working like charm..
@rexisrex I'm willing to take the same steps as you once I get my hands on the device. Could you provide some sample shots of the google camera ? Sample videos with stabilization would be cool as well if that's not asking too much.

Sure will upload once I get home in the evening.. I'll upload photos from mi camera, Google hdr+ and open camera..video will upload Google's..
Have attached few samples...didn't have time to go out and take real photos..but this should give an idea..
All snaps are HDR and mi camera photos have HDR in caps at end of file. Google camera shots won't have HDR in file name...paucity of time. So kindly excuse..have taken sample 20sec video from both camera..don't know how to upload.
Kindly find my Google camera HDR+...it has video stabilization in options..have video sample but it's still a bit shaky but miles better than Mi video...
But I'm overall impressed with Google camera on this device..mi camera suffers moment light fades.. Google camera excels there..but with software updates mi camera has huge scope to get better..with ideal light conditions it creates good shots but highly exaggerated colors..

Use the modded camera from here. Install it normally but remove previous versions before.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195922284
If still fc, Have you rooted your A1? If no then no luck..
If yes, then you have to do build.prop edit by adding this line
persist.camera.eis.enable= 1
at the end of file, save and reboot..
It Should work now. Camera might fc once even after this hack but from next time works without hiccups. Expect a fc once a while as ours isn't a pixel device

It works pretty well.
Not working:
- HDR off
- HDR+ advanced sometimes gives unrealistic colors
- slow motion makes the app crashes
- motion photo works in 16:9 only
- photo sphere seems to break the orientation

Hey guys! I'm considering getting this phone for my wife, so I'm wondering if the HAL3 is enabled by default like on Nokia phones (and if yes on what level) or it needs to be enabled via adb?

You don't need to enable anything: Moto One has the maximum level of hw support for camera2 api.

I forgot to mention that time exposure is limited to 1/3s (the Nokia one is up to 4s, I presume).
The lack of optical (or even digital) stabilization, further limits the usable range of time exposure, unless you use a tripod...

Hi everyone,
Which (stable) version of Google camera can be used on moto one stock pie?
Thanks.
I am currently using this:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850.apk
I tried several versions and this one is good enough (the best I have found, in my opinion). Slow motion even works.
Main bugs:
- no Google lens menu
- poor quality audio
- WB not working.
If you decide to go for this one, the first time you'll open it you have to select the shortcut "take a selfie". The following times, you can simply tap the icon, as usual.

Any working gcam with touch focus ?

Google Camera for Op7 Pro

Hello everyone, I am creating this thread to provide the stable and beta builds of gcam, to avoid confusion and to keep the forums clean.
Thank you @S4turno(Celso) for hosting, mirroring, translating and sharing all a to z Gcam..
Special Thanks to @Arnova8G2 for all his support and hardwork !!!!
FAQ GOOGLE CAM-
I CAN'T INSTALL X VERSION, WHY?
Make sure you uninstall every other GCam Port on your phone. You can't have two 6.1 gcam versions installed.
HOW DO YOU SWITCH BETWEEN CAMERAS?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/127r0_UNKMNY5MN5OrWYZISEleK8cZj4x/view?usp=drivesdk
HOW DO YOU USE NIGHTSIGHT WITH THE DIFFERENT LENS?
Select the lens in main mode, switch to Night Mode, then double tap the Camera Switch Button.
WHY THE FRONT CAMERA IS 4MP AND BACK CAMERA 12MP ?
Selfie camera uses pixel binning, same as for the main sensor. Since camera2api implementation only delivers a 4MP raw stream (16MP/4 = 4MP because of pixel binning)
GCam can only work with what raw stream the API delivers.
Same goes for back cam.
WHICH GCAM IS THE BEST ?
There is no best gcam. There are stable and beta builds which work fine for daily usage, but not the best. There may be some crashes here and there.
WHICH XML IS THE BEST ?
The xmls provided in the folder whose link is given below are the best at the moment.
HOW TO USE XML ?
A link to Celso Azevedo site is given below which clearly explains how to import and export xmls.
Mod Edit: Link removed
WHY COLOURS ARE DULL ??
Sometimes the settings may not be applied by the xmls, and in 6.2 gcam, you need to manually set saturation levels.
Also changing awb can help.
Use the xml.
Use the settings from the given screenshots for 6.2 gcam.
WHY CAMERA CRASHES ?
Changes in libs may cause crashes, in such a case clear app data.
WHY AUX CAMERAS ARE NOT WORKING ?
You need ROOTED DEVICE for now to use aux cameras.
METHODS TO USE AUX CAMERAS- There are 2 methods:-
1) Setting selinux to permissive by-
1a) Using nfs injector magisk module or renovate ice magisk rom.
1b) Using custom kernels like Kirisakura or Smurf
2) Installing gcam as a system app-
2a(Install any of the 6.1 gcam app as a standard user app by installing the apk as you would normally.
2b)Open the camera app and enable the usual set of permissions (local storage, camera, etc.)
3)Use the magisk module given below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19lwuT8koKQG3dod9nW2xzVHxWGQR-K3W/view?usp=drivesdk
The link below will provide the Gcams working-!!
THERE ARE 1) XCAM BETA 11
2) GCAM 6.2 WITH XML SUPPORT
3) GCAM 7 BETA
IN THE FOLDERS WHICH THE LINK BELOW PROVIDES !!
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-FAjRY4S5PIBnL2vsf0Fm-pVw3QwOi2s
Another link for xmls-
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/oneplus-7-pro/
*These are the stable gcam, everything works perfectly except slow motion, stable for daily usage, also they support auxiliary cameras.
If you want to use aux cameras in
night sight and video mode, use xcam.
TO USE XML ON 6.2, LOAD XML TWICE!!

Urnyx 6.2 (No XML SUPPORT)(STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.4.apk
Urnyx 7.2 (No XML Support)(STABLE)-

Star Cam based on Gcam 7 (STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.0.009_StarCam_v1.apk
*For gcam 6.2-
Firstly, after installing apk, go to settings, go to about and enable "Enable Advanced Mode"
*For 6.2 Urnyx gcam-
It is a simplistic mod, not much to edit.
Guide:
- How to use manual controls?
- First of all, you must use HDR+ Enhanced. Then, enable the options in settings to show the sliders (only the 1st time). When you are in viewfinder to take a photo, click on "Pro" button to join the pro mode, where you can see all the sliders. Now, you can set any values you want. At the end, tap on the screen to apply changes (otherwise it won't work)
NOTE-
1) Only this version of 6.2 supports xmls-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.2beta2.190907.0540.apk
2) Slow motion doesn't work for now.
3) Lens distortion in wide lens.

Thank you...
Thanks! This works great....running intl version rom on tmobile op7pro with elementalX kernel... Used the desaturated xml, looks good. Also turned down saturation for main back camera as it was still a tad high....its weird because in viewfinder(screen) it looks ok, its only when the photo is processed is where saturation gets boosted....those settings are under "advanced" " highlight saturation" 1.3 and for "highlight shadows" 1.1 .....for anyone that wants to know. Also turned up jpeg quality to 100
Maybe this is a stupid question, but where is the apk file located initially?

Question Modded GCam for Pixel 6a with Motion?

Is there a version of modded GCam that works on Pixel 6a, and has Motion mode from the Pixel 6? I haven't been able to find much about it, but i understand that the 6a is still brand new so it might be a little bit.

Would it be possible to extract an APK from this version of gcam? Or would it have to be baked into its code for these new modes to work without root?
I really don't like the native camera app for pixel 6a in low light. It over processes the images a lot and darkens my selfies in low light making it look far worse than my previous device poco X2. Are there any good gcam mods for pixel 6a which can rectify these problems?

Maybe because that mod is almost 2 years old, works for Pixels 2 to 5.

I alternate between MWP-NoiC library and Matteo19 library depending upon the light. You can go to the telegram group Gcam Libs and try out various libraries yourself.
edit: this was a reply to berserker2702's question which was a separate thread, it has nothing to do with motion. IMO there was no need to consolidate because it is totally different even though it is related to gcam.

Yeah when you select the Pixel 6 UI the Motion modes appear but I haven't had much success using them. It takes the photo no problem but then it gets stuck with the notification... Processing HDR+ and there's no way to see the result. Pity as I would love to get this working without rooting my device.
