[GCam] OnePlus 6 / 6T

Releases in this thread are mainly done by @Arnova8G2 as I have since sold my OnePlus 6 and moved on to other devices.

What is Google Camera (AKA GCam)?

Google Camera is the camera app for the Google Nexus and Google Pixel phones. It is not designed or intended to be run on other phones.

What is HDR+?

Basic: HDR+ is Google's proprietary image processing routine, and is more than just traditional "HDR' modes. HDR+ employs image stacking to control exposure, and also to preserve details, reduce noise, increase sharpness, etc. It is an all-in-one package.

Advanced: https://ai.googleblog.com/2014/10/hdr-low-light-and-high-dynamic-range.html

Google Camera Features

Pixel 1

• Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) HDR+ - The Pixel 1 introduced ZSL HDR+ which means when you open the camera, the system utilizes the Hexagon DSP to constantly buffer frames and marks the time slot of when you pressed the shutter button.
  * -- Quote from Marc Levoy via The Verge:
  "The moment you press the shutter it's not actually taking a shot — it already took the shot," says Levoy. "It took lots of shots! What happens when you press the shutter button is it just marks the time when you pressed it, uses the images it's already captured, and combines them together."
  It's a major usability improvement on the HDR+ mode in last year's Nexus 6P and 5X. "What used to happen last year is you'd press the shutter button and you'd get this little circle going around while it captured the images you need for the burst; now it's already captured those," says Levoy. "And that's big, because that means that you can capture the moment you want."

Pixel 2

• Portrait Mode - Simulates bokeh for improved subject separation from the background. The front camera of the Pixel 2 only provides Portrait Mode when a human face is detected, and the rear camera can work on an object, an animal, a human, etc because it uses information from the Dual Pixel PDAF sensor to detect depth. Google Camera ports for non-Pixel phones can NOT do this so all ports for non-Pixel phones utilize the front camera technique for both front & rear (which means all ports for non-Pixel phones can only properly apply bokeh when a human face is detected).

• Motion Photos - Provides short clips of moments before and after you take the photo.
  * -- Advanced read: https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/03/behind-motion-photos-technology-in.html

Pixel 3

• Top Shot - When Motion is set to Auto or On, Pixel will recommend a better photo to you if it detects one. Like if you captured a photo when someone blinked.
  * -- Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMa1H97zUQ8
• Photobooth - Automatically capture a photo when Pixel detects a silly face or a smile.
• Super Res Zoom - Enhances zoomed picture quality by purposely shifting the camera module using OIS (Pixel 3 only) to gather more data.
  * -- Advanced read: https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/10/see-better-and-further-with-super-res.html
• Motion Metering - On the Pixel 3 Motion Metering is used in the "default photo mode" to detect subject motion and if it detects enough motion, Pixel will shoot with a faster shutter speed to reduce subject blur. The Pixel 1 and 2 get to use this in Night Sight only.
  * -- Further reading (about 1/3 down the article): https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/11/night-sight-seeing-in-dark-on-pixel.html
• Synthetic Fill Flash - Pixel 3 will brighten faces in selfies.
• Tracking Autofocus - Tap on a subject or area to keep focus when the subject or phone moves.
• Learning Based White Balance - Google's attempt to fix white balance for low light photos. Used in Night Sight and HDR Enhanced on the Pixel 3.
  * -- Further read (about 1/2 down the article): https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/11/night-sight-seeing-in-dark-on-pixel.html
• Portrait Mode Learned Depth - Pixel 3 improves the rear camera Portrait Mode depth detection for more consistent and more pleasing bokeh.

If you face tint or performance issues, Clear App Data and reboot.

Q: How to get Top Shot working?
A: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78342714&postcount=5141

Q: Why does the resolution only show 4MP & 12MP?
A: This is a limitation from the API by OnePlus. If the GCam version you are using has a "Resampling" option, set it to None. This will NOT update the resolution list in the Settings, but the photos should come out at a higher resolution if you check the EXIF info.

Q: Can I use the second lens on the rear?
A: No, it is not made available through the API.
