Pixel Camera Port?

[ghosh.soumyadeep]

Strange. My phone reboots every time I select the portrait mode. Did you change any configs?

Having the same issue.

Guys, Google Camera won't work like you think it will, because A7 only supports Limited Camera 2 API. You can't use HDR+, feature that makes GCAM take good photos.

I installed Gcam for samsung S9 exynos on my samsung A7 2018.
Restarted phone after install. Works perfect.
Phone was rubbish before, one is a star.

HD camera pro?

I have already wrote it? Camera Zoom FX Premium https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom , but I think that the free version would also let you select this option.

Aside from gcam and camera zoom I am currently testing few other apps:

HD Camera Pro (paid)
LG camera 7.1
Camera FV-5
CameraMX
Open Camera

After more than 700 pictures taken side by side with each app I have come to the conclusion that as for sharpness, details and balanced light HD Camera Pro is the best for indoors and Camera Zoom FX for outside day and night photography.
This ordeal took me over a week to do but was worth it.
The only problems with all these apps is that none of them supports the wide camera, it`s only available in the integrated samsung camera app.

I still hope for some time in the future we will got our hands on fully functional Gcam port with wide camera support. And I think that it would beat all of the above apps. I hope it would happen sooner than later.

What HD Camera pro paid are you talking about? There are lot of HD Camera Pro in Google play

I tried s9 version, but it's unstable and, after you take a shot, phone reboots.
With note9 version nothing functions (black screen)...

Which version do you use, plz?

is there any way to circumvent this so that we can use the potential of the camera?

Ask Samsung to provide source code for camera drivers, modify it to support RAW capture and then modify kernel to put it together.

In other words : no

I'm a bit new to all of this, as soon as I got the phone I was told to install the Google Camera, but didn't really bother as I was satisfied with the default one ( especially with the wide angle ) . But then I've stumbled across the post complaining about pictures quality, and I realised they were actually crap, I just don't have a proper phone to compare them with.
I was then wondering whether -
- a functioning google camera app would be better than the default one even without the HDR+
- the dark and creepy playstore market has maybe some app that really fixes the blurry pics issue which the phone suffers of.

I'm also on android 9 since yesterday and i've maaybe noticed an improvement already, but I'm not sure .

Try to use FOOD MODE and disable the blur circle, only this mode delivers images without strong noise reduction and with more saturated colors..

There is no 100% working GCAM for A7, and You can stop asking. There won't be working version!

Can i have it by rooting?? Help

 

[Kriomag]

As said before, A7 has limited Camera2 API so gcam will not work with hdr+ only standard pictures which are as good/crap as on any camera app.
