GCam 7 and 6 for Lenovo P2 [Android 8, 9 and 10] 13th August 2020

[alirazaagha]

Dear friends,
November has been a very productive month for P2 owners with all sorts of Pie ROMs roaming around. But what everyone wants is a stable ROM with a working port of GCam 6.1 because it has got the magical "Night Sight" feature which actually does magic in low light.

Google Camera 7
GCam_7.0.009_A_011.apk by marlin-ku
Features:

• Night Sight replaced Panorama
• Swipe down to access quick settings to enable one-hand usage
• Quick toggle for ISO/Exposure Time for HDR+ and Night Sight
• Time Lapse up to 120x
• Long press screen to access Google Lens immediately
• Long press image viewer for accessing a setting of your choice
• Long press shutter to record a quick video (not working though)
• Green tint on front camera fix in Color Settings
• 4k Video recording working
• Developer settings available for further tweaking as per your phone's capability

Bugs:

• Face retouching isn't working even in Night Sight unless you select "test key Pixel2017 or 2016" from "Mask". However, it will disable the Portrait mode
• SlowMo not working. However, it never works for me with GCam so try it yourself.

Google Camera 7 may only work with Android 9 and above. Please, test yourself if you are on Android 8 and report in the thread.

Google Camera 7 for Android 10

PMGC_7.0.009_PopugVersion_V11_1
Front camera greenish photos under dim light can be corrected by doing few things:
1. Enable HDR+ enhanced from drop down menu
2. Go into advanced settings and set time for front camera "1/5s" in ISO/ Exposure Time HDR+ or ISO 100. 1/5 captures photos faster though.
3. Reduce HDR+ frames to 5-10. Whenever you want to capture night shots without flash then enable HDR+ enhanced.
Configuration file
Video Capture Issues:
GCam is bad at capturing videos with P2.
Hence, install Open Camera, select 30 fps from video setting of the app then select audio source as default or optimised for voice recognition.
Keep resolution at 1080p for capturing, otherwise app will force close.
Adjust exposure while capturing videos at will.
This solution would work on Android 10 as well and it will record audio too.
Don't forget to test capture video to understand how it works.

Note: Config files are given as attachments.

What works:
Portrait, Night Sight, Face Retouching, AR Stickers, Playground, Photobooth, Panorama, RAW image, Video capture, Photo sphere, Lens, Motion Capture, Super Res-Zoom (Full zoom with HDR+ enabled), SlowMo (ROM dependent), Lens Blur

It is not my work at all so don't forget to Support and Thank the worthy developers who are working day&night for a flawless modded GCam for Android devices.

Also share if your favorite ROM allows this Gcam port to work in full swing. Sharing of some photos will be an added benefit. Peace!

I didn't play with it much because I couldn't get a chance to check it in clear outdoors but the attached photos might be useful.

As far as I know, RR is the only 8.1 ROM for P2 with almost zero or controllable bugs so an upgrade to RR should do the trick.

May be the camera is not focusing the object you are capturing. First touch the area you want to focus and then capture. Otherwise, restart the app. I tried a few flash photos and found that it did shoot few overexposed photos. I restarted the app and it was all good again.
