Edit 1:So as the tittle said, i was thinking of reverting back to 4.4...When i bought the phone , it was already on 5.0.2 and now i'm on 6.0.1 (.291 version)...As far as i'm concerned, no improvements have been done on camera from 5.0.2 to 6.0.1 (also, I face a bug and the last 1-2 seconds of the videos i record are frozen, and no, it's not my sd card's problem as i tried storing at my phone's storage)
The question is: Is stock camera on 4.4 better than 6.0.1?
Edit2 : I flashed 4.4 on my phone. Yes, the bug is real on 6.0.1...camera on 4.4 is almost 2 or 3 times better than 6.0.1.
Auto focus on 4.4 camera while video recording is just amazing guys...
Edit3: Flashed 6.0.1 again. The bug i described on Edit 1 dissapeared(!)
As for the video recording, on 4.4 autofocus worked automatically and really, really fast! When I'm on 6.0.1 I MUST use the camera button so as to make it work fast just like 4.4 did automatically. Hope this helps other users!
Yes 4.4 is absolutely better. I wrote thread in general section, my reasons why 4.4 is better.

Camera and video shooting at 4.4 was 10 times better than on 6.0.1. BUT i detected certain bugs (snapchat lagging, i guess it's not well optimized for 'old' android versions)
But video shooting is REALLY bad at 6.0.1 guys...is there any way to use 4.4 camera app on 6.0.1? Autofocus needs almost 15 seconds to change focus and i still haven't found how to touch focus on Sony devices while video shooting! I would really appreciate some help on these things!

Sound on speakers is better at 6.0.1 but i think sound at headphones work better on 4.4....
I'm so confused....if only i could use Sony's 4.4 Camera app on 6.0.1! That would be great!
Can someone post a link to flashable zip with root and recovery of .77 build?
There is 1 link on the forum but from MEGA and I can't fully download it :/ Some others mirrors maybe?

Ever heard of Cyberian camera? I am on latest 6.0.1 and have flashed that camera mod, and I can tell you pictures and video are a blast,
low light photography at its best, and also hdr for 4k, and lots of improvements, you just need root and latest version of sony rom (.291)

You'll need to ftf back to 4.4 if you are on 5.1 or 6.1....then you can flash recovery and then flash whatever you want...use flashtool to ftf back to stock on 4.4

I haven't rooted 4.4, i don't like rooting and experimenting wirh it since everything rolls just perfect.You should really give a try, specially for the camera... Video recording focuses 10 times (for real 10 times) faster than 6.0.1 (both stock unrooted without mods), and camera quality is really better!
Also, booting takes about 18 seconds only on 4.4...
If you're using Snapchat, it will lag ( i'm not using heavily, only once a day, so it's not a problem for me), but i'm not using Facebook so I don't know whether it lags or not, but i guess it will work flawlessly. Be sure to keep a nandroid backup before checking 4.4 out!
Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer before you jump on 4.4.
For me the best ROM has been the Concept ROM. It has built-in Doze, nearly as stock as AOSP, battery life is great and it is really stable, fast. Less apps, better ROM. KitKat is great in performance but as it doesn't have Doze, it gives me less battery life cause I don't like to use Stamina mode whatsoever. I love KitKat too, but I hate KitKat's notification panel and settings icons. Concept provides you the most modern looking and one of the most stable and lightweight ROMs out there. As for the camera I use Cyberian Camera, despite it is not optimized for Concept, it is stable and better than the stock. Concept uses stock framework (same as 6.0.1) and haven't had any issues with it, also low-light processing is great!
TL; DR : Try Concept too!

I would, but like I said i don't like to root and install recovery, since i'm still on warranty (will be until December 2017) and since stock roms work perfect for me (except video recording on 6.0.1. .291). Thanks for your reply though.

I tried 4.4, for the first two days i was clean as it gets, but the battery lasted only 3.5h of sot, camera on the other hand was just okej, colours were a bit washed out (comparing to cyberian on MM), and view finder was laggy (cyberian has smooth viewfinder-best thing for me). I also tried video recording, and it was also not that special, focusing speed was the same as it was on cyberian. So after rooting and finally deleting all the bloatware (can't stand it) I realized 4.4 was not for me. So I restored my latest backup of MM and I can tell you I'm glad i tried 4.4 because it made me appreciate MM and my cyberian camera. Btw I am on MxRom fyi.
Just wanted to say this, enjoy and cheers
As you guys know, camera performance on the Moto X4, put bluntly, has been less than stellar. Also of note: the Google Camera app (Auto HDR+) has been ported to multiple other Android devices, and it seems as though any device able to utilize the Camera2 API with a Hexagon DSP and Spectra ISP is compatible with the ported camera app. As of a few days ago, the Modded Google Camera ported apk was found to work with the Moto X4, as seen on Reddit in the links below:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectFi/...orted_hdr_pixel_camera_apk_works_for_moto_x4/
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX4/comments/77vn3w/psa_google_camera_port_hdr_from_pixel_works_on_x4/
As discussed already, the performance of the Moto X4's camera with the port is much better all round (especially low-light photography) than it is with Motorola's own camera app, which is slow and lacks good processing. Now, listed on some of the posts of the Reddit links above (much more information on the matter there) are links to all of the different apks (some fully functioning, some as test versions, some that are manual and configurable) of the Ported Google Camera app; credits to developers B-S-G and Ivanich for making this possible. Mind you, the most stable apk (Ivanich v1.4 Full PXL2) is configured for the OnePlus 3 most natively, which doesn't seem to support as many newer features of the Google Camera app as the Moto X4 does. That said, if a more stable apk of the ported Google Camera app can be configured to best go along with the hardware of the Moto X4's camera (as has been done with the Xiaomi Mi A1), then for those who aren't concerned about using the secondary camera, there will be a viable option for much improved photography on the Moto X4 as well, that takes advantage of the hardware present more effectively. Again, much more detailed explanation of these concepts on Reddit, in the links provided above. I wanted to bring attention to this for those who are interested over here.
Only deficiency of the apk...
You have the option to delete photos while HDR+ is still processing them. If you do, it seems to get stuck in the notification bar. I don't know if this impacts anything, but just a note.
Great find! Mine comes in tomorrow, and I can't wait to try this out!
I wonder: is anybody working on configuring an apk better suited for the Moto X4's camera hardware, and/or is anyone willing to? As of right now, these are the config options that work most effectively on the Moto X4's hardware (as posted in the r/projectfi [1st] Reddit link):
Phone Model - Nexus 6P. All work here, but the 6P option seems to be the best in low light.
Config camera - Pixel 2017 Zsl HDR #1 and #2 options can crash the app (if you crash it, clear data/cache). All the others seem to work. ZSL is for HDR Auto mode. Pixel 2016 Zsl HDR is most optimal.
Buffers Size - 15 (optimal)
Note: this is the configurable mod below:

When you do try it out, if you can compare picture/video quality to the stock Motorola app, that'd be great, and something I suggest you do anyway to see how you feel about it.
Crashes
Anyone else seeing frequent crashes?
Update: These settings at least seem to keep my moto x4 from crashing for now. I usually can make them happen with some settings by force closing the camera app then starting it again.

No it's not the same , what you tried was probably gcam4.4 based, the apk i gave link to is based on gcam 4.2 arm version. anyway thanks for trying.
Update: the new Arnova8G2 manual gcam apk works for this device as well. From what I've been told, it provides a similar image quality with better color processing than other gcam ports, and better video quality. This is MUCH better performing in most every aspect that Motorola's stock app. It can be found in the first Reddit link in the original post in this thread (I'm the OP), or directly from here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/. The Arnova8G2 manual mod is based off of a newer version of Gcam, that being 5.1.014 I believe, as opposed to 4.2.x, as the BSG and Ivanich mods are based off of.

So far, how do you feel about the image and video quality with the updated version of this app? Also, how do you feel it stacks up against other devices that you've worked with in the past?
Just tried the newly released v9.1 version. Very impressive with low light indoors. Pictures came out looking like the room was well lit, when it was in fact dimly lit. Also, switching to 60fps on video provides a much brighter/clearer image.

I meant to try it out, but I haven't had the time. I was using the older version of the Gcam to record video at a wedding this past weekend: VERY dark lit dance floor with strobe/lights moving all around, and fast movement. Even at the brightest setting, it was still too dark to see almost anything. I know this is a worst case video scenario, but if the new apk improves video low-light, that would be great!

Nope, don't own one yet. There is no difference in image processing between the two, as they both run the same versions of Motorola's camera software and have the same hardware in tow as well; there'd be no reason for the app to process images differently on the regular version than on the Android One version. They both have poorly optimized camera software in common.

Found this issue here and have the same problem. S9 (Exynos) and LOS 15.1.
Make sure you have GApps installed.
Otherwise it won't work since all the versions I found have this dependency:
E/AndroidRuntime(12024): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.google.android.apps.camera.legacy.app.app.CameraApp: java.lang.SecurityException: Failed to find provider com.google.android.gsf.gservices for user 0; expected to find a valid ContentProvider for this authority
For the Xiaomi Mi6 I found a version which works without Google Services - so it seems generally to be possible...

I wonder though: which version of that port is suitable for X Performance?
Presumably need to find the device that has the same SoC and camera
With kind regards.
UPD #1: GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta1 - this version is working for X Performance, testing further on Oreo 8.1 AOSP with kernel v4.9
UPD #2: also installed HEVC+SloMo GCam (Magisk) from the OnePlus 3/3T section via Magisk, the app does not crash or anything, safe to use I guess....
UPD #3: HDR+ is not working, maybe need some tweaking in the Advanced section of Settings
UPD #4: At the very first switcing to 60 fps mode the app reports a crash; after a re-launch the mode persists as set, video records fine, no idea if it is actually 60fps
Anyways, test out, guys!
P.S. HDR+ engine seems funky for the device: the camera snaps the original picture just fine, but the processing messes the picture up in the end. Maybe should talk to the developer of the port.

Since Google Pixel 3 launched, the modder tried to port the camera app to the another Android devices, I'm so excited about it. But unfortunately until now the app not coming even to single Sony devices. So, anyone's here please make it available for Sony Xperia X Performance.

Hello, @Ontrinity,
you can look up to post #3 and see that I have already replied to your question (much earlier than you even asked it). Please use the instructions.
In the meantime, consult a doctor on the matter of your eyesight - I think it's alarmingly poor and you might need to use some glasses or lenses.
Have a very nice day, and thank you for your time.
UPDATE 15 October:
Embargo has now lifted!
I got THREE additional videos now live; the full review, camera, and audio review:
UPDATE 5 October:
I've been informed on 5 Oct to not post anything further on the Pixel 5 until the embargo lifts (which I can't communicate when that is).[/B]
You can find more information about the device via my Twitter feed; incl battery updates, camera shots etc.
Hi everyone,
Seen there's some love for the Pixel 5 here at XDA (Hi again XDA gang!), so as I have the phone in front of me. What do you need to know?
I'm looking to get confirmation from my source to see if I can extract the camera.apk for you, but before sharing any files (including original photos from the Pixel 5), I'm getting it confirmed. Rather be safe than sorry
Anyway, ask away, I'll try my best to answer everything I can.
Oh, and my video on YouTube of the phone (if you don't believe I have the phone), is live on my channel too:
EDIT: Latest YouTube hands-on video has just gone live!

Can you get into ADB shell and report the output of
Code:
cat /proc/mounts
?
How did you get it? Well, yes, we would all like to take a look at apk gcam
Nice! So heavy is it? Im coming from a Note 9 which is a heavy phone. Hoping the P5 is a little lighter in build. What month security update is it on? What color u got?

Hey, thanks!
Can you confirm that you can switch to the Ultra Wide Angle camera in third party apps (Snapchat, Instagram, etc) when doing a pinch zoom out?
Is there an Ambient EQ setting in Settings>Display>Advanced?
How much bright display is?
Can you force 90hz from developer settings?
How is haptics?
How is stereo speakers?
How slow it feels to flagship phones like Pixel 4 or Note 20 Ultra? Especially if someone is using 2020 flagship phones.
How does the screen brightness compare to the 4xl?
The wallpapers on the promotional images are included? Can you share? ?
Since you're able to hold it and use it, is it worth the price they are retailing it for ?
How are the stereo speakers, are they comparable to the 3XL ?
How responsive is it ?
How's the feel of the device, slippery or gritty like the renders suggest? Does it support hdmi output from its usb-c port? Still squeezable? Fp gestures for qs return? Pixel visual core is present? Any feature parity between the normal and ultrawide cam? What's the max slo-mo fps? Anything major is missing? And sorry for asking so many questions. ?

I don't use Snapchat, so can't comment on that. But on IG I can't zoom out, but can zoom in. Same happens when I'm on the S10+, however.

It gets REALLY bright, haven't measured it yet - but I suspect it's above 500 nits.
'Smooth Display' can be enabled via the Display options: 60->90Hz automatically.
There's no additional option in the dev settings
Haptics feel natural, nothing to report, other than it's located at the bottom of the phone.
Stereo speakers upon first impressions are pretty poor; they sound tinny. The S10+ trounces it.
Feels fluid so far, but can'#t really pass much judgement as I've only had it for a short time.

Didn't get the 4XL, but as mentioned above, it's bright; need to measure it.

Yup, it's no longer there, unfortunately!
Can you check if these two features are present?
New Google Assistant keyboard dictation: https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1311757613235941377
Back tap gestures (like iOS 14): https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...-tap-gestures-android-11-screenshots-recents/

I don't use G assistant, but will test at some point.
As for the screenshot: it didn't seem to do anything when I did as the video.

Both features will probably come in a Pixel Feature Drop, then. Thanks for sharing!
How is the screen quality?
IE: coming from a QHD Pixel 4 XL to the FHD Pixel 5?
Add Build.prop file please
What's the screen brightness? Is it brighter than the 4 XL? I have googled everywhere and just no answer about something so important.
Also is the battery life significantly better and do you think it's worth buying coming from a 4 XL?
Edit: nvm just saw your replies! Thank you! Is Ambient EQ available under Settings > Display?
It's not listed on the Store site which is suspicious.
