Awesome man! Thank you for posting. I'll give it a try today.

Is there a reason none of the gcams so far have working slow motion video? I find it hard to believe that the hardware on this phone is incapable of slow motion... And this version removes the option all together...anyone know why? Can we get a working version with slow motion? I really miss that feature. Found it VERY handy when troubleshooting fast moving machinery at work.

I can't make it work on 8.1 yet...

On the MGC_6.1.021_RazerPhone2_V1a version, if I use the double-click side button shortcut to start Gcam, normal camera mode does not save images after capturing them. Switching camera mode works around this issue, but is inconvenient.
If I start Gcam normally from the app drawer, the camera mode saves images as usual.
Can you reproduce this issue?

When you call a Google camera from another application or the power button hdr + does not work.
fixed in "V1c" ...

Perfect, works great!
Will you consider adding telephoto lens toggle similar to other Gcam branches?

If add it so that it works without fixing build.prop then the Google lens will not work.

Abousltely beast. Salute my man.

I tried installing this apk but i get the "app not installed" when i try to install it. Anybody have an idea what it could be?
EDIT: Nvm, I did not uninstall an older version of the app. Now that i did, it installs fine.

Possible to do one version with the aux camera but without Google lens? Or you are working on a fix on this?

Aux lens has less light sensitivity, it has no stabilization, so it makes the photo under any conditions worse than the main lens. aux lens is not needed ...

Any way to get this updated with the 60fps video recording?

So I downloaded and installed the new version today. The camera is much, much faster, but it crashes every time I try to take a video. Is there some combination of settings causing this?
Edit: I changed the interface style (in the mod menu) from Pixel III to Pixel II, and video now works! However there is now a bright flash at the beginning of the video that is actually captured in the footage.

For android 9.0 need to do it all over again. It will take some time.

I don’t know yet ... There will definitely be tracking focus in video mode (example: https://drive.google.com/open?id=10AGDx3aDS0Bue7lv1Ql1eMw4DEhQr21h) and there will definitely not be slow-mo, since the CONTROL_AE_AVAILABLE_TARGET_FPS_RANGES key will give a maximum of 30 fps for Android 9.0, and for slow-mo need 120fps.

Either way, without your work I'd have returned the phone the day after I bought it. So thanks again!

Would love a Pie version as well. Just ordered the phone with the price drop and camera is one thing that's lacking

Hopefully there is continued development. I just bought my wife this phone coming from the s8+. Can you add a TIMELAPSE option? She used that a lot. Thanks.

(Some Apk Files are stored on Telegram, Try using a VPN if you are on Jio coz for some reason Telegram Web is blocked but the App is working perfectly. So you just need VPN for a couple of seconds for that link to Work. I would Suggest opening with Opera Browser with Inbuilt VPN)

2. The default zoom setting.
3. Recalibrated black levels for MI9T x0.6 and x1 and MN10 for all modules.
4. Fast switching between lenses. With this method, the libpatcher takes values from the lens on which the camera was last restarted, but there is no need to wait for the end of processing to change the lens.
5. Updated and added some AWBs. Manual AWB settings.
6. Fixed a bug with focus after turning on manual focus at night and returning from night to normal.
7. Completely rewritten libpatcher. New settings, small steps, manual curve settings by points.
8. Now there is no choice of libraries in the mod, almost all the settings that were in libs can now be configured through the patcher and transferred by the config.
9. Add. modules with any package name without root.
10. By popular demand, added items for setting the ID of all lenses.
Manual lens alignment sets the order of the lenses.

The Camera 2 API is enabled by default on this ColorOS? Or you're in the LineageOS rom?

I found 3 stable versions till now (also the latest).

I think you are using custom rom coz camera 2 api is enabled out of the box in realme 3 pro.

can you use config in that gcam version?

Honestly, do you guys able to tell the difference between using native camera app vs gcam? I find both are good to use...
Would like to hear some opinions and comments comparing the 2...

The photos are faded due to some saturation issues in the latest one. Try the nokia 8.1 mod. It brings punchy colour to the selfies

I have tried many GCam versions, all of them are buggy, and lagging,. Is there any verision available with all working functions in Gcam?

Update (Image grain improved): Gcam with ULTRA WIDE and TELEPHOTO support it's here!

Last Wichaya Gcam support auxiliar lens without root in some devices. After trying on my G8 power I could say work really well with macro and ultra wide lenses. You only need to download the APK, install and activate it on advanced settings. I don't know why in telephoto mode use the ultra wide instead, but works well, so it's ok for me, for 2x zoom you got hi res zoom incorporated on any Gcam. When you change to any different lens the app was rebooted and can't do this if a image it's processing.
XML settings supported too.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1311/

Update: video mode works with macro and wide angle too, but don't expect stability when wide angle it's enabled. You need to change lens mode before.

Update: The new Wichaya Gcam Update now allows you to manually change the ID of the secondary lenses, so it is now possible to enable the Telephoto lens on our G8 Power (Disabling Macro), also the lens shift buttons work properly (0.6x for Ultra wide, 2x for Telephoto). To do this you can do it manually or using my XML settings file which has all the necessary configurations to work both the telephoto and the ultra wide angle, plus it's configured by me to achieve a better picture with each of the lenses.

Camera comparation
You can see Here a comparation between Stock camera and Wichaya's Gcam with my settings.

It's cool that finally we can use the additional cameras with the Google Cam app. I see much more noise (although better detail too) compared to the default Moto app and the Parrot ROM. Did you have any success in that regard?

Have you seen my photo comparison? After changed one by one the settings of the three lens the results are clearly superior in every way. If you are using my XML go to settings and enable the lib patcher, cause it's this that correct and apply the changes what i mention and don't it's auto enabled when charge the XML.

Update
Added 2 more photos to the Photo Comparation Album showing how the 4X Zoom works (Telephoto + Gcam's 2X Super Res Zoom)

I agree with the noise comments. The Wichaya camera has WAAAAY more noise then Parrot and Stock. I loaded the g8p-by-mikael1013.xml XML, and took a picture, and compared it to PARROT, and STOCK. Below are the results.

FYI - Arnova's GCAM allows you to do the same thing, but this one allows you to use ALL lenses. Wide, Main, Macro, Tele. Arnova's GCAM allows you to switch between lenses so much faster, without the annoying camera restarts. The only problem.. is that in VIDEO mode, there doesn't seem to be any software stabilization.

Thread updated with another Gcam port with better noise treatment
Following users opinions about the grain treatment by Wichaya's Gcam I looked for better options with same multiple lens support, that's how I found Nikita Gcam. This Gcam allows to change between lens with better response, better grain treatment, lib patcher and custom libs. If you want to try my personalized settings use this XML File who it's tuned for better color and detailed photos.

This is a good one also... only problem... video stabilization for Video is not working.
Wide angle lense is also very grainy compared to stock. But after going through 15 different gcam ports... every other one is the same.
Main lens in this port looks very good!
Try changing lenses while a picture is processes. The HDR message stays on the screen and won't go away. Even when exiting out of the cam.

I spent quite some time trying to tame the wide angle lens noise. Still the stock camera beats it . BTW there is a new version from Nikita but it doesn't seem to improve the grain or the lack of video stabilization.

Sorry guys. Maybe I miss something. Does this app support Moto G Power (sofia)? I checked the link and found it's not on the list.

The versions listed here do work with the sofia even if it is not listed on their website.
The latest version of Nikita GCam works but the only version of Wichaya's GCam that works with my phone is the 2.5 version listed here. The newer versions of Wichaya's crash and close when I try to switch lenses.

http://www.techtracker.in/2022/08/how-to-install-google-camera-on.html
Many thanks for featuring it!!
Changelog:
v8.0
- Implement FrontBack Camera switch icon from latest Google Camera
- Added Icons to Settings
- Revert to com.google.android.GoogleCamera package name
- Hide Video stabilization on unsupported devices
- Other smaller changes

this is the most basic camera app.... I don't know why you would rather use this than the normal camera... it doesn't even have HDR?

The GCam is much faster than the Stock Cam, and also makes nicer pictures and i really like the photosphere

Thanks its also working on samsung galaxy m21 except slow motion thanks again

Hi! The version on Dropbox doesn't support HDR I believe. Where exactly can I get version 2 (or whichever one supports HDR as it says in the changelog)? Thanks.

Nevermind, it is indeed actually version 2; however, there's no option to turn on HDR. How do I turn on the experimental HDR as you've mentioned in the changelog?

v2 was a rebase and I forgot add HDR
In v2.1 which I just released, HDR and HDR+ do work, just download updated apk and install.
And thanks for using PenguinGCam

Hello, in the link the file appears to me as version 2.1. but 2.0 appears in the app. The file is wrongly uploaded there.
ps: thanks for the app it works perfect for me

Version 2.0, not v2.1

Huh, so now this is weird... while the .apk's file name says it's v2.1, upon installing and opening the app it's still the exact same as before and says it's still version 2 (so no HDR or anything). You may have accidentally confused the two files. See the screenshot attached here: https://i.imgur.com/4yDpwrm.jpg
P.S Thanks a lot for putting so much effort into the app btw!

Im sorry
Hi Guys,

It seems HDR still isn't kicking in (HDR is turned on and so is HDR+ Control; same results without HDR+ Control and HDR). See the attached screenshots below:
Stock Camera (HDR example): https://i.imgur.com/sSmIWKq.jpg
PenguinGCam (HDR enabled, not working?): https://i.imgur.com/u1Z3boi.jpg
Is HDR not working or are there some other settings besides HDR+ Control in Advanced Options and HDR in PenguinGCam Settings that also need to be changed in order for HDR to work? Thanks a lot!

HI, I saw that A51 doesn't support full caméra2 api but you managed to get hdr+ working on this phone without root...
Could you please do something to the huawei p20 pro which suffer from this issue, please?

Im sorry, I do not have a huawei p20 to test or debug. And on A51 HDR + is extremly buggy(it sometimes uses HDR in a photo and sometimes not) and if you want HDR+ RAW( which will be part of 3.0) you will need root to enable full camera2api if that even works.
Maybe you will find something on the internet: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gcam+huawei+p20+pro&ia=web

Does it good enough for daily use? Maybe for taking picture of Online Classes Assessment?

It would be awesome if it could be added google photos integration like in most gcam modifications.

Hello zombieanidata,
full google photos integration will not be happening, but penguingcam already uses Google photos editor for photo editing. If you don't have google photos installed, editing photos within PenguinGCam is not possible

Improves the quality compared to the Stock? Could you share pictures comparing GCam with Stock please

Probably a stupid question..... but the apk just "works" on my zen8. Where do I enter these settings to alter or add tele/wide? (I have opened the settings menu but do not recognize the fields where I can enter these values)

What is the difference between the different versions?

I will prepare a collection of photos from Camera app and gcam. From my observations it's 50/50 which means that some are better on Asus and some on Google cam. From what I see is that in very difficult conditions - like against direct sunlight - Google makes more pleasent photos, but Asus is generally brighter and in shadows keeps more natural colours. In dimmspaces Google keeps the colours as they are, however.
Most of the times during day theres no visible benefit of google. Also HDR+ takes much more time to shoot. HDR is quick, though.

I've read on zenfone 7, that is possible to activate the 64mpixel. I tried all IDs, but no-one works. On zenfone 7, the write that I'd is 6

ID 6 crashes the app so it does not work.
After todays photo session I can say that the gcam is not an upgrade. In most cases stock camera is better. Actually looking at the app versions it seems that the stock camera IS Google Camera with some slight adjustment.
If the sharpness of the stock cmaera could be slightly reduced to avoid pixelation it would be perfect. Maybe some manual log change will be possible for that.

I have created a folder with various photos from the Zenfone 8 taken on the stock camera and on the gcam.
You're welcome to take a look and compare by yourself - all data and an easy way to differentiate the cameras is the "info" where gcam has PXL_ in name and stock has P_
Comments on album are welcome.

In my opinion the stock camera is generally better and produces more true to life outcome. It is a little bit to bright and the sharpness in details is a little to big. You can see that only by zooming in. This can be overcome by shooting 64MP which happens quick but the size is bigger.

Thank you for your contribution, nice photos!
From what I can see, the gcam has more sharpening and saturation, which I like in photos.
But I prefer the HDR management of the stock camera, I love how it captures the clouds.
Is there a way to adjust contrast and saturation on the stock camera?

Yes and no, there are no options for that but you can slightly lower the brightness during the photo taking with a slider onscreen. That makes them a little more like gcam.
I have also noticed that HDR on stock is really nice but it softenes the image and destroys edges. With no HDR it super sharp.
Also stock wide camera has almost no distortion where gcam is quite round on edges.

New photos added to the album. The latest update seems to improve HDR very much. It's now better than gcam in almost every case.

thanks for sharing your experience, for me most of the times the gcam pics look much better on a calibrated monitor.
do you know if Face retouching and night sight are working with this gcam version?

I saw that selfie camera, during night, the HDR doesn't work properly. But also the stock camera, all selfies in the night are very cheaper quality :/
Edit: I put the selfie camera with "pixel 4 settings", it works now!

I saw that gcam make miracles, especially with selfie camera, during night. HDR work perfectly. All lens working properly.
This gcam freezing after 3 seconds, but i can take pictures, while changing lens. We need buffer fix, for make it working? or existing some config file?
Thanks

4k/60 fps doesn't work with gcam, is saved as 4k/30fps.. Would like to use GCam for filming because it has much smoother zooming while recording, in the default camera app the zoom is very choppy.
