Google Camera Port for Xperia X Performance - Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers

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.

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.

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.

[06.09.2017] Google Camera incl HDR+ 60FPS / RAW photos

Hi guys,
I thought i just keep posting the new Google Camera versions modified by BSG. @snowwolf725 seems to upload them on Androidfilehost. So credits to him.
Hope it is okay if I post them here. There are 2 versions now:
1st one:
Lens blur still broken
MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Min_v.3.2_AllinOne_Full_Manual
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6ejYykLAFSdSjd1TjBua19LM00
Changelog:
Code:
[B]3.2 all in one [/B]
- lots of custom settings
- honestly losing the overview and google translate is not the best
- basically an updated version of the one @sergykm provided
If you prefer 60 fps video over RAW photos this is the one for you:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634795625
Changelog:
Code:
[B]Modded GCam Min 1.3 with 60 fps video support[/B]
- 60 FPS video support
- older version, so no ongoing development and no raw photos
Btw this is the original post:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=782469&st=4340#entry63971754
Requires Android 7.0
Can I choose the camera? as I found that only one of the wide back camera could be used. the normal back camera cannot be used.
Is this a new version?When did it came out??
Seems to work can only using the front camera and the rear 16mp camera, not the wide camera as mentioned above. But i think it's losing alot of detail somewhere compaired to stock as its 1mb -3mb less than stock
Is Lens Blur working for you guys? Mine is crashing when proccesing the image..

Afaik this is by Googles rendering methods and there shouldnt be any lost details. You can take a photo with stock and one with G cam and compare them on your pc with a 100% crop. Should be the same level of detail.
Havent tried it myself yet but I am happy with the quality and I've read somewhere that Google enhanced compression a lot

Unfortunately also crashing for me. (since the first version already)
Edit:
There is a newer version with some fixes for front flash and video recording. If anybody has the issues on their phone I'll post the link.
The original dev works mainly on the mi5s so I don't think our devices are affected by this.
Ok, another new version with WORKING CONFIGS.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-Y4Wh0lWPBGNlFma1FZcFp5UXM
You can change different configs in the settings. You don't need restart your camera, it's working at once.
Before install clear data and cache and remove previous version. If you have FC after change config just clear data and cache of app..
So, maybe anybody can test and compare different configs?

The mod works only for Snapdragon 820 and above, and in some others but only in special cases... So i dont think it will be available for th g5 se soon
I tried Version 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. It seems that all the new configs which are designed for the mi5s break a few things for us. Hence I couldn't get any of them to process HDR+ properly.
Noise was pretty high and the images inferior to the ones taken with the LG G6 camera app from fulmics. If you guys want I can still provide the newer versions but I don't think that it's worth installing them.

I had the same experience... Currently using Mod_GCam_4.4.012_MI5S_7.0H_Cam2API_Final_1.0.apk.
The processing takes quite a toll on the processor, but it produces nice pictures. My wife has a Nexus 5X and her pics are still better though
earlier port that is 1.4 was working fine
Has there been any progress with the Lens Blur on G5?
I would love to have this feature... (if anyone made this into a paid app i would buy it right away...)
Also i think the Photos taken with my G5 (stock cam as well) look too "soft", like a filter rounded off all the edges...

Google HDR + Camera Software on the XZ1/XZ1 Compact?

Has anyone tried using the Google Camera HDR+ software on the XZ1 or XZ1 Compact yet? Can you post some comparison shots to see if there's a significant improvement?
EDIT: According to this guy on reddit who has a XZ1 Compact, it doesn't launch:

Damn. That's a bummer!
Yeah it's a real shame given Sony's imaging prowess with things like the Alpha camera series. One of the features that I'm kinda expecting as the norm now.
A bummer indeed. Is there any chance it will support RAW in the future or is there no chance whatsoever?
According to this article the app just received RAW support, it also says: "the app will simultaneously capture both a RAW image and JPG one with HDR+ effects" which leads me to believe it should work on the XZ1 in due time.

Unless the XZ1's camera drivers are modified to provide RAW support either trough a Sony update or mods, that's not going to happen.

on AOSP the google camera works including portrait mode
If you want make HDR Fotos than you can use the camera app "a better camera" it makes HDR photos very well, it takes 3 photos one with more light, one normal light and one with low light and put them together.
For me by fare the best camera app with HDR!

Google Camera (HDR+) Port on Moto X4

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.

Astrophotography isn't that easy to port. A major reason why even Pixel 2 and OG Pixel will not receive this feature is because of hardware limitations. Even if the developers manage to port the feature somehow, it won't give you optimal results. Although the image processing highly depends on the software, but the hardware capability plays a very crucial role as well. For now, I would say, have patience and see how the porting scene rolls out.
I have a Pixel 3 XL (Which is supposed to get the feature) too with the latest official Google Camera 7.2 installed, still no sign of Astrophotography on my end. I am not a developer but have read enough on the topic because I can't purchase the Pixel 4 here in India, so looking out for as many P4 camera features to be available for my Pixel 3. Sadly, Live HDR+ and Dual Exposure controls won't be available for my device too.
Update: cstark27 has released a port of GCam version 7.2 and has managed to enable Astrophotography on the Pixel 2 (of course, the port is universal like always), along with several other changes. It's worth trying the port on the Mi A3 too. Here's the link to the release notes.

When it comes to Google, everything is done by Software. Astrophotography ports are already available for Poco F1, i hope somebody works on them to support A3 too.

Yes, but what I meant was that the results would not be as good as seen on the Pixel 4/Pixel 3/3a due to hardware. And yes, it works. You can even force-enable the Astrophotography feature in GCam.

Why there are no GCAM mods for every Xperia flagship starting from XZ1?! A year ago there's a working GCAM for my Xperia X dual! Someone should request the developers to make mod for XZ1, XZ1C, XZ2, XZ2C, XZ3, XZ2P!

All simply because gcam is ridiculous compared to stock. Much more noise, smoothing of the photo, overesposition, mediocre quality in night photo ... The tests were done with GCAM 5 which is in a discussion on the forum...
In my opinion the reduction of raw noise is incompatible with gcam. The photos taken with gcam have almost the same quality as with open camera.

All simply because gcam is ridiculous compared to stock. Much more noise, smoothing of the photo, overesposition, mediocre quality in night photo ... The tests were done with GCAM 5 which is in a discussion on the forum...

Why why but why? Why is it happening to only Sony devices?

There's already a port for gcam on xperia 1, however it's gcam 5, so no night sight yet.
It'll come eventually (or not). Just a matter of patience. If you want gcam so bad, then get another phone or get a pixel.

gcam is not necessarily better it may change for low-end smartphones but in high-end smartphones the results were worse with gcam than the Stock camera. gcam will work like any open camera and will never have the code and therefore the optimizations related to the camera. on the screen of the smartphones it looks good but on a larger screen we directly see the loss of quality with gcam

Why there are no GCAM mods for every Xperia flagship starting from XZ1?! A year ago there's a working GCAM for my Xperia X dual! Someone should request the developers to make mod for XZ1, XZ1C, XZ2, XZ2C, XZ3, XZ2P!
Yeah i know there's no connection to title and the description message!

Maybe because these ports are done via the good will and graciousness of the developers, who often do this for free, on their own time? Don't be immature about this. It takes work, and just because your particular phone isn't supported doesn't mean that people aren't trying to get it to work.

I haven't asked it particularly for my mobile. The thing is i haven't asked at all for my mobile. I just said there are no GCAM mods at all for at least a single Sony flagship. I never demanded i am saying that just request the developers!
Can't force any developer to support an specific device. Like some people already mention, there isn't really an improvement using gcam over the stock camera (maybe there is certain circumstances that get better results, but nothing really special). Xperia 1 camera already is great. I haven't tested much the gcam version already available, will try today some night scenes

There are gcam version for that phones (just yesterday tested the XZ1 version) BUT gcam only supports AOSP custom roms, and nothing stock based. With the Xperia 1 onwards, there is API 2 support, and gcam works in stock.
XZ1 GCam take worse photos than stock

Wow. Ok thanks for the info. Everyone says mobiles need API 2 support and i agree but i feel every Sony flagship supports that API 2 thing. I am saying this because i used a GCAM mod for my old Xperia X dual stock OS that actually worked. But the MOD doesn't had the Night Sight feature as it's an old version. i luckily somewhere found that MOD. It's a long time ago and there after i tried many GCAM versions and none of them worked. They just not opened even for a second.

Older gcam versions work. Even on XZP stock, gcam 4(?) was working. For the Xperia 1/5 we have Gcam 5 working. Either wait, donate to the dev to help support them, or create your own port.
