Last update: 2018/03/24
Version: v7.4
App info
Installed as Camera NX, no need to disable the stock camera.
Package name: com.google.android.GoogleCameraNX1
Require:
V5.5+, Android 7.1+, ARM 64.
V5.4 and under, Android 7.0+, ARM 64. ( currently, V5.5+ will only works on 7.1.1 DP1 , 7.1 custom rom users can find solution below. Android 7.0 users please choose the No ZSL version )
Shortcuts required Android 7.1
To 6P user: App will function the same as original G camera, add Hybrid burst, higher video bitrate.
Bugs:
-ZSL-enhanced: After shooting photos, review it and you will see a black screen not pictures review, need to wait for HDR+ process .
Old version (V5.5-):
- No bugs with Android 7.1 ( If you are using V4, the flash won'r fire in HDR+ Auto mode, need to set it on manually. )
- As the Camera 4.2+ using some code within Android 7.1 kernel, some bugs may appeared when running with Android 7.0, custom kernel may cause this too but I'm not sure:
1. Flash mode with HDR off seems broken. (Android 7.0)
2. Auto HDR+ with manual exposure / AF/AE lock can't take a picture, you need to set HDR+ on or off when using manual exposure and AF/AE lock. (Android 7.0)
*Still working on the 1080p 60fps, experiment succeed with
60FPS video recording succeed with How to fix black viewer in some custom roms for Nexus 5X. ( 7.1 / CM14.1 )
1. Put this file in /System/framework/, set its permission to rw-r-r.

12/31/2017 V7.3
Current the new version is only for Android 8.0+, will release the updated version for Android 7.0.
1. Add the most wanted feature, Portrait mode (use Pixel 2's front lens software method, it needs a human face shows up to work.).
2. Remove silence feedback service, crash report service, and the broken Help menu, for faster app launch.
3. Remove Google photos combination, motion photo still works but you need to view it through Google photos manually.
I have named it wrong and this one should be the ZSL-enhanced version, sorry for the wrong package errors on Android 7.1.2

This is bug fix version, not only for Pixel 2016, everyone who are using enhanced version should grab this update.

2. Fix provider author name mistake lead to a thumbnail generation issue.
3. Motion pictures should be saved with file name "MVIMG-####-##" right now, it became "IMG-####-##" in V7.1 version, which was wrong, this might mess the G photos when index media files.
Enhanced version users should get the experimental2017 library now.
Sorry, after some more test it seems experimental2017 is not necessary, just install the new version it will be ok.
