Working GCam apks (normal/wide). Be proud of having the best camera ever. - LG G7 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion

For those who were unsuccessful in trying those GCam by cstark, at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-cstark27/ , the above 2 links, you have to install both of seperately, It's worth using the stunning LG G7 camera! We should thank the developer for working for the OP6 being working on the LG G7. My settings in both cameras were.
1) Pixels auto HDR+ enabled.
2)Final JPG quality HDR+ 100%.
The issue I got was if changed to HDR+ Auto, it becomes unusable. So keep HDR+ On always. If you have better settings, share them below. .
Both wide and normal results in stunning images. Definitely better than Stock Camera. I hope the future updates will improve our beasts. Enjoy.

Portrait is broken in both I think.

I can't get slowmotion recording to work. Either app just closes.

what hdr + parameters do you use and what phone model from that list?nexus 5.nexus 6.nexus 5x etc? thanks

Is there a reason these are separate apps?

because too many of these GCams do not work with the LG G7, now I found a new apk with both modes working as included in single apk.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t2.apk

Wow thanks! What are the recommended advanced settings?

In case you're like me and glanced over the OP, it will not work until you change HDR to always on instead of auto - as mentioned by the OP. I'm going to check it out. I've been disappointed with the low light photo quality on the stock camera. Hoping this helps!

what are the best settings?

Hi. Does gcam have the same shutter lag as original camera app?
If it does, so how to fix that? Any tips is appreciated.
Sorry if it is not right place to ask. I am just frustrated and do not find any solution for that.
Thanks!

IMO gcam sucks compared to stock... This is why I have uninstalled it.

I have oneplus 7t pro mclaren.
Will it work with oneplus 7t pro mclaren?

Everything works for me in this version except switching between the triple cams:

so how does it work? we just install the app and use gcam app for the camera? I've never done it all. don't get my phone until 7 days away
I'll post pics later for comparison, but the pics on the Gcam are much better. Colors and dynamic range are way better - low light is no competition.
Installed it and it freezes on the camera as soon as I open it.

Don't know why it's not working for me. Frame gets stuck at opening... Nothing after that
I can get it to work but it will not let me change the back camera to the 48mp camera 12 is the highest it will go.
Here are some samples. Photo 1 is regular cam photo 2 is GCam mod.
The first looked much better to me.

I'm guessing the 2nd is more true to life of what you see?

gcam

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.
I was thinking about open a telegram grp like s9 to be more convenient.

Anybody tried this one?
I found actually the Google Camera that was released for the OnePlus 6 works.
What I like about the Google Camera is the Augmented Reality, I would assume they work for the new OnePlus 7 Pro specific Google
Tried a newer APK, still does not run all the Playground content but otherwise is ok
Thanks guys. The mi9 gcam mod works flawlessly. I tried the R7pro mod, but it has a habit of freezing and capture delay at around 0.0017s

I made an xml to go with it.... Just place it in GCam/Configs then open gcam double tap the space between or below the shutter button to apply it.
What file sizes are you folks seeing with the cam pics? Stock or GCam.

Tried using your config.the color profile seems pretty good but the capture speed is way to slow.

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.

Proper GCam Solution Needed For Redmi Note 7 Pro

I have tried many of g cam version and discoverd that @Arnova8G2 "Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6.190614.0200.apk" and "GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850.apk" gives best result But it has the Serious issues of snapping time of pictures are slower & buffers like night sight on my redmi note 7 pro (Running miui 10.3.9 stable stck rom based on android version 9) and don't work 48mp resolution on rear camera.
Can anyone give me a solution for this bug or give me a better g cam version with setting that gives detail result like those version
Instead of loosing time writing all that, look around here and u'll find 2 great cameras : Nxcamera to replace stock cam and a great Gcam version.

Google camera on Oneplus 8

I download the latest version of gcam, but it has too limits (many features that stock camera has, gcam hasn't such as 48 mpx shot or ultra-wide shot etc). It nice to have a gcam that can implement all the OP 8 features. Any solution?

GCam MOD is far superior to most of the stock camera apps.
OnePlus 8 does fit all the specs for the GCam or Ultracam. Has the IMX 586 so seems likely we will vet a port.
Any news from the experts?
I’m curious as to how much GCAM improves the standard OP8 camera. If at all?
The pro is flawed, had one and returned it and actually prefer the footprint of the standard but I’d want better camera performance than the stock camera provides. Would be good to know how much of Google’s special sauce can be brought to the OP8

I tried the GCam Mod today with the Magisk Module for other cameras support.
I do see that the GCam is actually able to switch between the three cameras ( Tested by closing other cameras with finger while switching between the thee modes)
0.6x is switching to MACRO Camera
1x is shooting 12MP mode of the Main Camera
2x : is switching to the Top Camera and works well in Wide mode (if ratio is 4:3)
GCam version : 7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.6
Magisk : Aux_Mod_V2

All Gcam's are for non-rooted users since they are just an APK to install. I can verify the one on this page for the oneplus 7/7t/7pro works fully, but I can't really say if it is better or not cause I'm not a big camera person.

Gcam can be installed on Non Root but can't access the other cameras except the Main sensor.
to access other lenses you will need magisk module.
Detailed steps to install are here:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/oneplus-8-and-8-pro-gcam-google-camera/
The latest OxygenOS opened up some access to aux cameras in Gcam without root. Ultrawide is possible to use now without root.
For a compatible OnePlus 8 Gcam + XML check the OnePlus 8 telegram Group : https://t.me/gcamOnePlus8
Gcam info here : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/links/
I installed the latest GCam version from that last link along with the xml file on my T-Mobile OnePlus 8. Mostly it work great, but it cranes any time I try to switch to nightsight mode. Anyone else experiencing this?
Unrelated, I'm not sure if I have the latest OS version mentioned above that enables switching lenses, but I don't see to have that option. Looking at the last message I saw in the telegram group, it seems the requirements for the 8 vs 8Pro are different with regard to root and magisk. Root is not an option for me.

Has anyone tried gcam with LG Velvet 5G yet?

Was considering the LG Velvet 5G but was just wondering if anyone has used gcam on it yet?
In the gcam hub useful links I can see the other LG phones like V60 but no Velvet.
Thanks in advance!
I have, It's not built just for the Velvet but it is built to work with ultra-wide cameras. The video should definitely be taken on the default camera app, normal photos you should use GCAM for. Photos at night come out horrible from GCAM, and okay if not bad from the normal camera app. Other people's experience may vary though if they found a better build
TLDR (?) Hey there. New to this thread but plenty of experience with Gcam variants and LG phones. I also happen to be a photographer! Anyways, don't expect magic out of the Velvet.... and it looks like support for this specific variant will be slow-but-steady. All things aside, I'm using the "GreatnessCam 2.1.1" found celsoazevedo's Gcam hub which is great once tweaked. The main camera's aperture means pretty damn decent low-light photography, especially when HDR+ is enabled. The ultra-wide angle's aperture is less narrow and the ISO sensitivity over-compensates which translates into terrible low-light photography in almost any setting. Of note, that Greatness variant will crash when ultra-wide angle is enabled in video mode, and Night Site isn't fully functional. Yet. I hope this helped a little, and if you (or anyone else) is curious about something more specific, please ask away.
What version of GCam is working for you guys? I have tried a few but with no luck. (GreatnessCam 2.1.1 is not working for me, lags alot)
I am using this version (GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk) without problems:
Urnyx05: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk

Same phone here, and I've tried maybe a dozen different gcams. All laggy and not usable (?)
After many downloads I got one that seem to work properly, though not my favorite.
I'll attach a picture of it's version.
Has anyone had success with a better camera app for the Velvet 5G? I see theres a bunch of modded gCam configs for a lot of the LG G series phones that improve them, not seeing anything really for the Velvet yet.

I found one is not perfect, but is better then nothing.

I liked the quality of the photo on Butchercam_v2.1 but it closes on my tmobile.
Works fine on MGC_8.1.101, but I don't like the quality.
