Which Version of Gcam is the best G8 Plus? And Which Settings do you guys use on it? - Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello,
I'm diving now into the Google Camera world and with the G8 Plus, I'm not really sure which version of Gcam is the best for this phone model, and also i dont know exactly which settings we should tweak to take good pictures, any guidance would be super appreciated.
Thank you.

-MOTO-G8-Plus-PMGC_7.0.009_FinalBuild_v14.apk
-Camera_MX_4.7.200.apk
-My favourite is Open Camera.apk by Mark Harman -free on Play Store
You must know that you cannot store photos on SD with GCamera on unrooted Moto G8 Plus.
The next two allow you to store on SD.
Choice is yours
All the best !

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Hypercam works nicely, but I'm not able to use the wide angle lens.
Otherwise I've found that you con choose the lens you want with Urnyx05 GCam port.

Works nicely, and apart from the distorsion of the preview, you can use the wide angle lens: any suggestion to correct this??

You can find it in the Market

Megaupload ?
Why you don.t use a db dropbox it,s more easy and fast to see the pictures.
Post some pictures here, instead of megaupload.

'almost the same phones' sums up your question.
It would most likely need a port or a mod to get the OPO camera working with the Find software. I like your idea - the camera/software on the Finf7(a) is very good.

Panaroma shots taken on moto x play

Hi all,
I have attached a few of the shots taken on my Moto x play running Android nougat 7.1.1 on Resurrection Remix 5.8.0. I was always let down by the phone in 2 Dept. Camera -for no camera api2 and panaroma shots. Battery- not good with such a huge battery pack.
Today I took some time out, and tried to explore the camera apps with panaroma shots. And to my surprise, only one app made me rethink abt it.
I used snap camera, Moto z camera, cm camera baked in the ROM and finally HTC camera app.
Please let me know abt it, and share your thoughts.
Hit thanks if helped.
Cheers
Please provide link for htc camera!!!

I find taking a series of photos and letting Google Photos stitch them together works the best, the in camera panoramas are terrible and very compressed.
Clearly this cant been seen in a resized image but the full size version of this image is nearly 17,000 pixels wide.

Google camera mod with portrait mode and hdr+

Hello, we have so great phone, but i want to sell it! one reason is that - word is talking about Google camera, which have amazing Hdr+ and Best portrait mode... Developer @B.S.G ported this camera for Xiaomi and after other develepers made mod versions for other phones (this mods is working almost at all phones), and this two amazing Mode (portrait, Hdr+) is working great and bad cameras with Gcam mod are shooting great pictures! We have so good smartphone, but camera is not so good that it must to be! And we can't use Google camera mod, because our phone have not full support of Camera2api And no one can to Port this great Camera for XZ Premium users But maybe there is someone who can help us to enable camera2 api and make Gcam mod version for us, it will be great and I think it will be work at our device very good....
I'm sorry for my bad English and I hope sony will make better smartphones, with better camera and design!

Believe me, sell the Xperia. Buy a 150€ Xiaomi, and I am totally sure that with Google Camera you will have a super camera, better than any smartphone, near to a reflex... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Come on man!

Yo dude google camera is indeed improving the picture you took with your smartphone, in fact it's a lot. Take a look at this video comparing <€150 Xiaomi phones with stock camera, Ported google camera, and Google pixel 2, and you can see that the result is night and day compared to the stock camera app, and even matching the photos taken with the Google pixel 2! So don't underestimate this app, it's ported and wanted by many community for a reason, it's not just a ****ty apps in play store, this is the app that makes the google pixel known for its camera.

If this is so, what version are you using? And does HDR+ and Portrait work?
Is your bootloader unlocked or your phone modded?

The google cam version is 5.1.018.177470874.
HDR+ thing doesn't work, in fact the app is detecting my phone's rom as custom ( my phone is NOT unlocked or modded... Yet)
There's no "Portrait mode" but instead the "Lens blur" mode which is actually the same? Correct me if im wrong
The app itself runs smoothly, no crashes. Just like the stock camera app. Just tell me if you want the link though. And i'll try to make comparisons between the stock camera app and google cam app soon. (My connection is so bad rn i can't upload images)

Yeah i forgot about that. It is funny that the primary cameras max is only 8mp but the secondary cam is 13mp max
There is standard google camera, but hdr+ and portrait mode is not there just lens blur and it's take time to take portrait or something. I found thread about unlock camera2api, anyone tried unlock it?

Sadly you need root for that , which is not attainable right now without unlocking the bootloader.
Lack of RAW mode is a real turn off on this Phone, my old Lumia 950XL took amazing photos and had an insanely powerful flash. If I'm completely honest, the camera and flash are the weakest part of this device so I can easily see why folk want to try and mod it. Actually, in an ironic twist, the screen delivers a brighter flash then the actual flash, to bad its the wrong way around to help the camera.
It is very sad that such a good smartphone would turn into this huge disappointment. Most of the camera apps that I've used are Laggy and use only 8mp
Maybe there is someone, who can active full camera2api? And make gcam mod for sony?

The camera AI function is enabled by default on my phone (and I setup the phone on non China region which is recommended if you want Google Play out of the box).

Ok thanks. So what are the other ai functions they talking about
Probably yoyo the personal assistant.
I have the phone also. I'm hopeful that yoyo will be released in English, otherwise I think I'd have preferred the p20 pro

The camera is good but not great. It will work well for most people. The wide angle is nice and some of the AR features are fun to play with.
The speakers are probably less than you would like. They aren't bad for YouTube but not loud if you want music in a less quiet environment.
I'll gladly try to answer any other questions.
Hey
How is netflix on it, does it support HD or even HDR content and what about other players like amazon video/youtube?
Is the button used for Yoyo reconfigurable? or just a waste of a button?
