My device is Asus Zenfone 3 ZE520KL. I use the latest 8.0.0 stock ROM without root.

For Google Camera 6.1, the following port works only if you tweak a few settings:

When the camera turns on for the first time, the viewfinder will black out for both rear and selfie cameras. The way to fix it:
  1. Go to the settings of the camera (by swipe to the rightmost screen and select settings)
  2. Select BSG MOD settings (the topmost option)
  3. Select FIX (the bottommost option)
  4. Select "Default GCam CaptureSession" (the second bottommost option)
  5. Checking both checkboxs (namely disabling Google Camera default capture session in both Photo mode and Video mode)

On my device, selfie photos have a green tint except when HDR+ is turned off. You can fix this under FIX mentioned above. Under FIX, enable "Fix Green Tint" and it will work.

The Google Camera port perfectly supports 16.3 MP (4656 x 3496) for the phone and is very stable for daily use. The only thing that hasn't worked (as of now) is when shooting 16.3 MP (4:3) and with HDR+ turned off. Normally the camera produces a photo of 4656 x 3496 with HDR+ or HDR+ Enhanced. When HDR+ is turned off, a low resolution photo (1920 x 1440) is taken instead. There is no such problem if other resolutions are used instead, such as 8 MP (4:3, 3264 x 2448).

In addition to Camera, what also works on my device:
  • Video (even when Back Camera is UHD 4K)
  • Portrait
  • Night Sight
  • Lens Blur
  • Panorama

Slow motion doesn't work, as the video has a very weird tint and is not usable.

Another Google Camera 6.1 port that works for me:
  • MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e-fu24_02c.apk by fu24 (The Camera blacks out at first. You need to go to settings once. It seems this will automatically disable Google Camera default capture session in both Photo mode and Video mode for you. The viewfinder begins to work when you return.)

Other Google Camera 5.x ports that work for me:

If you can't download from any of the above links, for backups you can go to celsoazevedo's website and search for the two modders.

Thanks again for all the hard work from fu24 and Arnova8G2.

Thanks for your sharing, I use stock 8.0 too.

I tried using this version, MGC_6.1.021_V2e-fu24_Aux3way_4Lens-04h-dual.apk, and it works very well.
