Question Are there any viable custom GCam options for the Pixel 6?

[legend221]

I have yet to see anyone post any application and hoping someone has some information.

My previous Pixel had a GCam that worked tons better than the official camera app.

What? Surely the camera app in Pixels is Gcam?

That's correct but there are custom and modified versions of the GCam app.

I can't compare to older Pixels but I tend to agree the 6 camera is a letdown. My old Moto couldn't do Camera2 stuff or night photography but at least it gave me macro, common EV controls, and warm colors with quality jpegs. What impresses me most about Pixel 6 camera is its digital zoom sharpness.

What is a Gcam?
Can you capture ghost with that?

Yes! as long as the ghost is surrounded by dust, airborne debris, cat hairs...

Thank you, I used Nikita's 8.2 on my Pixel 2 XL but when I tried it on my Pixel 6 it would snap a shot but not save it onto the internal memory.

Is there a specific build that you recommend or that works?

You can capture some great shots but the processing is I feel it falls behind even the older hardware and Pixel phones. I haven't seen it personally but others have mentioned it online and on expert reviews.

No wonder Marques crowned the Pixel 5A best Smartphone Camera a few months back.

This is where the 6A can dominate over the P6 and P6 Pro since it will have the same hardware.

I've been using the latest... Gcam_8.4.300.v1_beta3

Yes its working and now saving the photos. I think this app is a true gem and I'm glad it's working great on our Pixel 6 after using it on the P2 XL for years.
