Guys is this the only thread on gcam for Moto z?....and also I've been experiencing greenish tint on front portraits with latest mod from arnova.... Is anybody else experiencing the same issue?
Thanks.
I got a green tint on Arnova's 1.3 build on the front camera of my Moto Z too. Portrait mode doesn't work on the front camera for his latest 1.4 build for me. I think the issue is that Arnova is tweaking the software for the Oneplus 3/3T Redmi phones. Even though technically, the SoC are the same/similar, the camera hardware is different so may not work properly on our phones. It is a bit hard for a developer to make software work for hardware he doesn't have access to. I'm not too bothered about the front camera as I rarely take selfies, though it may be worth trying to ask in the Oneplus forum to see if anyone can help.

Which version are you using and what settings? I'm still getting a green tint on his latest:

MGC_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_LOS-15.1_A8.1_MI5S_v1a

I think this version is aimed more at the Redmi and Oneplus phones though I could be wrong.

Thanks,

Hmmm. Thanks. That's strange. Tried your settings but I still get a green tint regardless of what settings I choose. Video seems to work fine for my phone though. Not slow motion mind you, as my phone is unrooted and more or less stock. To enable slow motion I would need to root to edit some system files. I normally root all my phone's but this is the first phone I've used without really needing to root (until now maybe). Probably won't consider doing it though until official Oreo is released. I'll keep playing with the settings though to see if I can get any improvements. I know Arnova has a version that lets you tweak the colour settings for the front camera.

Thanks,

Hah. Just cleared my data and started from scratch. Oddly, portrait mode is now working perfectly on the front camera, but video is not working, just like you. Hopefully that's a sign that the next few versions should get everything working.

Thanks,

Just had another play and the following settings seems to work with portrait mode and video; Nexus 6P and Experimental Pixel. Only thing is the portrait mode is showing as SmartBurst photos but it is essentially a normal photo and one with a bokeh effect applied.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

What are the best settings for Z?
First, you give the camera app all permissions (location is of course not a must) and also let the camera app "change the system settings".

Settings in Camera:

- "Config camera HDR +" on "Nexus 6 Auto" (Very important otherwise it will FC)
- Leave "Model" on default...
- HDR + parameters "Medium" or "High" is recommended ("Default" works of course)
- With "Advanced" Activate the buttons everywhere and set the "HDR + quality of jpeg" to 100%
All other settings you can leave at default, of course everyone can still adapt as he wants.

These settings don't work for me. Camera crashes regularly. Just tried the new 1.5 version and it works fine with your settings. The green tint on the front camera has been fixed also.

Hey, How works Motion Photo ? I have the option enabled but the picture is static everytime ^^
Motion pictures is only sorted in Android O from my understanding. It won't work with 7.0 or 7.1.x. I just disable it. It may work when Oreo is finally released on our Moto Z but not too bothered if it doesn't.

The 1.6 version by @Arnova8G2 works perfectly on my phone. Portrait mode works perfectly on the front camera without any green tint. I don't think HDR+ works on the front camera though. Slow motion doesn't work for me either but that's because I don't have root and need it to modify some files to get it working.
