Google Camera Mods
​

Hi everyone. Here is my version of Google Camera! Versions posted here are based on @miniuser123 and B-S-G so thanks to them!
First of all i'm not a developer i'm just a student of electronic engeneering that enjoys taking pics and that enjoys much more Google's Camera than Samsung's one! :D
I struggled a lot to make those apk working (that is == to waste time instead of studying for my courses :p ) beacuse i've never been into this field so don't expect anything more from me.

How to Install (Very important!)
Steps:
- Delete Gcam data app if you have a previous version of Gcam installed
- Uninstall your current version of Gcam
- From smart manager clean up the memory (YES, sometimes it's needed beacuse after i tried a lots of different verisons of Gcams i messed up something more then the app cache itself)
- Install the app and after enter to the settings menu and press back to apply the settings
- Done!
Download

Stability: Medium
v2.2 Features:
- This config works with Nexus 6 only. (Pixel config can work on our device too but it's too unstable and is always memoryleaking) I prefer a more stable verison instead of something that's half- working.
- I added in this new version over the 1.8 the 4k@60 fps ability and now slowmotion works 120/240 fps
-removed google some other google app dependencies
- For now you MUST disable flash otherwise the viewfinder start to became laggy and app will memoryleak
- HDR+ and portrait mode on front camera are broken and will be broken on every version until there is a way to make it working with custom libs.

First of all, Thanks a lot! and It works well S8 exynos.

I have a question. Why is hdr+ after processing faster on s7 than on s8?
I have both s7 and s8 exy versions, and s7 is always faster with hdr+ processing, even with the same build and same settings.

I tested almost every version of Gcams (which you made :) thanks! ), and in my s8 case, "Mod8.3b_IDan_v3.2.9_Exy" was the fastest version. And even in that version, s8 took longer to process hdr+ than s7.

Why is this happening? Is the processor on s8 faster and powerful than on s7? Does s9 also take 6~8 seconds to hdr+ after processing? I hope hdr+ processing will be faster like other snapdragon devices :)

Thank you. Processing speed slightly increased.
But It still slower.

The best setting I have found is

HDR+ parameters: low
config.HDR+ camera: Pixel 2017 ZSL
HDR+ Exposure: Slow shutter x2
HDR setting: HDR+ enhanced

The Pixel 2017 ZSL setting allows the camera to take two shots at a time(the second shot does not need to wait for HDR+ processing end). However, HDR+ after processing speed is the same.

How about HDR+ On instead of Enhanced?

You're wrong, HDR+ applies HDR processing in background. You can compare a Non HDR and a HDR+ On.

I use both HDR+ On on my S9 and Pixel 2 XL.

After months of trying every single release of gcam that I could find on xda with loads of FC and overheating of S9+, finally @idan came to save us and enhance our camera.

Fantastic job Idan, Thanks a lot man, keep up the good work !

Does this work on Snapdragon versions? I followed the directions to the T, but I seem to be having a few issues. Portrait mode freezes on both front and back cameras, and refreshes the viewfinder every 3 seconds instead of a live preview.

I don't see an option for HDR enhanced either.

I'm not sure what the allure of the Gcam is but I wanted to try it.

    Gcam is now working on Samsung One UI. People on telegram reported that is working. I fixed both 3.5 and 4.1 even if there is no modded libs for the pie update so later you can use it.
    3.5 for non-rooted users:
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1m8hvl_9PvCE_LRnPz6OEIGA2jlxBFBmw
    4.1 (with front camera fix) for rooted users:
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jTueMB0UQ5AFPYJRHaLFAshLb_04fwhT

    for s8 user when they will have samsung one ui too send me a PM so i can fix your version too

    Update
    3.5 Features:
    - added lock frame. This will lock the number if frames taken by Gcam and will not vary depending on light condition. So for exmple if HDR+ config is set to very high (24 burst) will take 24 burst photos in every condition
    -fixed OIS in video mode

    4.1 Features:
    - improved the lighting of front camera (in very bright conditions you may need to turn down exposure a bit by -0.5 on the viewfinder but the camera quality is far better than stock also portrait mode)
    -removed portrait zsl for stability issues
