Working GCAM with or without GMS? - Huawei P40 Pro+ Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if there's any version of the GCam port that works on the P40 Pro Plus? Mine is sideloaded with Google Services and so far none I've tried work, but I stopped after like six. They install, but shut right away.

Only Working GCAM Is Gcam Go By Greatness And Another Modder.
Portrait And All Features Are Working.

Google HDR+ camera

Hi @Arnova8G2,
Thanks for porting this awesome camera.
I'm at the latest version GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3.apk and portrait mode works fine but if i go into Slowmotion camera (used to work in previous version) camera crashes.
any solution to this?
cheers
Hi, I have just installed the apk, the slow motion camera crashes for me too, but the camera also crashes after taking a picture. May I ask for your preset/settings? Thank you.

make sure you install the patch in magisk for slomo + camera api
settings i used in camera is
Config camera HDR+ = Pixel 2017 Zsl HDR+
Model = Nexus 6p
HDR+ parameters = High

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
slowmo / camera API patch from here.

i use the one with red txt.

Thank you for the extremely helpful response. I have tried your settings on Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.2: GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.2, everything seems to work fine. But when trying the GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3 with your settings, the app crashes after you look back at the photos you've taken. I suspect its something to do with the Config camera HDR+ set to Pixel 2017 Zsl HDR+. Seems like it does not crash when set to Nexus 6 Auto.
On the latest version, the slow motion crashes on me as well, also can't seem to capture video. Portrait mode works! I don't suppose you've got motion photos working? Thank you.

No, you can have the both. I have Arnova8G2 and B-S-G Google Camera mods, as well as MIUI Camera and Snap Camera ones. Well, that's not all, quite few other camera apps too.
I suggest you try this one: GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta.apk (it is working very well with my Mi Max 2)

oh, 1.5 beta already out, nice lets check and see if it finally works properly with video record and portrait mode...
edit: well well! looks like GCam finally works in video recording mode with a version newer than 1.2 plus, portrait mode is finally here and it works!
however, there are two things to consider:
1) only two phone models work when selecting the HDR+ mode - either "Nexus 6 Auto" or "Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR no PD" (I chose the latter), all other phone models dont work (black screen in camera mode)
2) Due to the restriction to the two phone models, you can only activate regular HDR+, whereas HDR+ Enhanced is not available anymore
So basically, you can choose between
v1.2 for HDR+ Enhanced, but without Portrait Mode
or
v1.5 beta for regular HDR+, but with Portrait Mode included

Gcam for sirocco

Pls suggest / link for gcam for sirocco
Download from here, work perfect: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1_defaultjpg.apk
Link is from this theme: https://community.phones.nokia.com/...or-the-google-camera-port-for-nokia-8-sirocco
All versions from back.rider are working fine.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/
Hello, did anybody found a working version of GCam for Nokia 8 Sirocco after the recent update to Android 10? I tried many apps suggested in the Nokia 7 Plus thread, as it's supposed to have the same internals but no success. I disabled battery optimization. The app starts once, I allow it everything and afterwards it just crashes. The only port, which was semi-successful was KillerCam_V1-Final_SA10.apk based on GCam 6.1 (I can't post a link, sorry) I'm able to capture a movie but not a photo. I can make panoramas and use the lens blur but not normal photos or portraits. The version based on GCam 7.2 crashes like all other ports. Did anybody else had more luck?
EDIT: I also set it like recommended in this post:
Killer Mod mandatory settings
1."Fix tap on focus" should be Enabled
2."Buffer Fix" should be Enabled
3."Using Sabre" should be Never
4."Max allowed memory" its upto you allow as maximum as you can. In my case 1680
Restart Your Device

The app is still not able to take photos.
It's not working because hmd disabled Raw Capture with the update, gcam needs raw for HDR+ and...well everything computational.

Can Raw Capture be enabled somehow on rooted devices?
there's a way to prevent gcam from crashing described on the Nokia Community board (can't post a link because I just registered):
1. Install KillerCam_V1.5_Revolution_6.1.021.apk
2. Go to app details and force stop Killer Cam
3. Clear all app data from Killer Cam
4. Start Killer Cam and confirm access to location etc.
5. Close Killer Cam
6. Install Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b6.5-A10.apk
this does result in a working, usable app at least, but still without RAW support of course.
It doesn't crash but what's the point without HDR+, portrait and night shot.
Better of to install gcam go

GCam Go is pretty decent for me. Not as good as GCam on Pie, but certainly better than the potato quality of Nokia's Camera app.

Gcam without HDR is same as stock Camera.
RAW Capture is disabled in Sirocco and is enabled in 7 Plus. I suggest everyone to contact them and tell about it.
I think it is end of the line for nokia 8 sirocco

After new security update none of camers app worked.even stock camers app.

No HDR in GCam Go.Video stabilization is bad and no night mode.
This is true, but GCam Go work better than original Camera software from Nokia.

If you have found the perfect gcam mod and settings combination, please share it.
For all the 6.1 / 6.2 versions I have tried, there was one or more of the options not working.
The BSG build 2e worked best so far.

Thanks a lot for this link !
It's the first gcam 7, I could install.
* Most features work for me.
* Night sight camera (preview) is 90 degree rotated, but the images are correct.
* With the auxiliary camera (enable 2nd and 3rd lens), the app crashes when selecting one of the other lenses.
* After crashing, I can not open the app anymore. I had to delete the app's data files to start it up again anew.
Unfortunately, it this gcam version can not work with the 64MP camera.
Great share.
Any chance to have the support of the tele and ultrawide Lens ? Tried many different releases of GCAM for several device but none of them was working with Realme X2 Pro 3rd lens...
Wgere can we find latest versions of the gcam port ?
Find this site but there is no X2 Pro GCAM release dedicated to this device for the moment.

For stock camera's also, Realme doesn't use a zoom lens for video,
try to close the lens while shooting the video to know what lens to use, *maybe the (hardware) zoom lens on the x2 pro really can't record video

Question ANX camera makes more noisy photos than MIUI camera

Hey guys, when I'm using ANX camera the photos are getting way more noisy than on stock MIUI camera. I'm using Arrow OS. I posted 2 photos for comparison.
The noise is more visible in the corners. I have installed:
- ANXCameraUnity_185R.SaltyIntelligentPlainsqueaker
-RN10P ADD ON
- 48 MP fix.
Anyone got any ideas how to get better results with ANX camera?
nop.
Xiomi did the firmware for his sensor, the anx is a port. Obviously u will get better photos on stock miui.
Oh, I see. I thought that they extracted that firmware completely. Well then that's a bummer.
Hi Adrian,
there is in fact one more file to install for a proper work of ANX Camera and you can find it attached here. I found this file on accident while browsing the Telegram channel "Redmi Note 10 Pro/Max Photography". I hope its installation will make the difference you / I hope.
You can also install (from Google Play) ANXCamera pro which gives access to a lot of other functions even if not all of them work with ANX for Redmi Note 10 Pro. I, for example, use this app only to activate the Dual Video mode which is not available in ANXCamera port but is available in the stock camera.
oh, Thanks a bunch. I gonna install and test it.
Don't use the 48MP fix
I tried both installing libcameraservice service and uninstalling 48 MP fix and the quality is still more inferior than on stock MIUI camera or Gcam.
Thanks for all the suggestions though!

Was feel that too, on custom ROMs with ANX on it.
But since ANX is kind of universal/port, we can't rely on it more deeper, we need an actual "device specific" port but not really sure if it's possible or not.
Try with any GCam out there which fits your need or else turn back to MIUI.
New Update for ANXCamera! Maybe there are improvements!

more stable , but quality still same.
Thanks, I bought the phone mainly for the camera, but I hate MIUI so I'm running PE with both ANX and GCam. GCam seems better, have you tried it?
Would be awesome if you can add a comparison for all 3!
I have similar observations with the newest ANX camera update. There are no longer any crashes after install, although sadly quality hasn't changed a bit.
Right now I'm on custom rom so I can't make such comparison.

I'm not sure. HDR and HDR+ Enhanced are both okay for me,even at lower light pictures. I'll test it in the morning again
So after some of testing i found that HDR works good until the light gets lower, then it shoots very dark photos. I could not fix that via mod settings, tried everything.
HDR Enhanced on lower lighting shoots kinda nightshots but with purple tinting all over.
Nightsight does the job just fine and selfies are way better with Gcam than the native app.
Currently using BSG latest recommended version. Get it >HERE
Playing around with the mod settings didn't bring any noticeable improvement, the only thing worth experimenting with is the different AWB settings from different google models.
If someone has this nice device again (apart the awful main camera on it) I'd suggest to give a try to these gcams, that with a little of configuration work well:
LMC GCam 8.4 and Shamim Gcam 8.4

Just tested it, works nice.
A good thing, focus tracking works again for photos and portrait (option in settings).
Bad thing i still keep getting dark photos in normal photo mode and lower light conditions
(f.e. indoors with plenty of room lighting) so night sight is a must.
Any other option in settings that helped you getting better results?
Hello,
I have an Realme 8 with 8gb and 128gb with helio G95.
I instaled the Gcam, but each time i take a photo is crashes... what settings do i need to use for this phone?
It says only pixel´s phones on the config...
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
Just manage to stabilize Gcam on my phone...
On the options i choose Pixel 2 on both, and deativated all the social media integration crap...
Now i can take pictures (even if the live screen is very stuttery), and the app don´t crash.
The problem im having now is with video recording.
If i choose 4k 30 fps, i have a very stutter movie (and live view), even deativating the EIS, don´t seem to help at all.
By lowering the resolution to 1080p, i have a more smooth experience (not perfect), but the image quality is not the same...
What can i do?
Best Regards,
LPC
PS: I manage to see that i can put the second mode on Pixel 7XL, BUT the interface MUST ALLWAYS BE Pixel 2
Well Just tested night photography with this phone and Gcam, and...
It was a complete disaster... The photos came out very very noisy... so grainy and i don´t know why...
I did choose the night mode...
Can anyone help me?
Best Regards,
LPC

You can enable the aux cams support via gcam settings, but I don't advise to do that. Most of the cases the app will crash when you select one of the aux cams.

On all Gcam i tested so far, there are no aux cam on the app, only zoom 1x or 2x...
Only on Gcam Go there are the aux cams to choose from...
