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.

For a unique camera experience; go to this page:

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!

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.

    GCam 7 ports are out. I've tested 2 ports. Front cam photo is either blur or with green tint if HDR+ is enabled. Developer settings are enabled to tweak the camera and I played with the settings to make sure what works and what not.

    Video capture is ok and 4k is enabled however, rear cam is set at 30 fps so there are dark videos in low light. Front cam video is alright. Time lapse upto 120x is working. SlowMo was not working for me so can't say anything. Portrait mode is not working with rear cam at the moment but night sight does. Front cam portrait and night sight are either green or blurred.

    All seems fine for an early beta port. Hopefully, we'll see a stable port for our P2s soon :fingers-crossed:

    Dear all, download new config files for XCam6 from first post. Due to incomplete communication; few users complained about blue tint on night photos. That happened because sparkling night config was used for back cam.

    I've updated the config files and renamed them as well for clarity. There shouldn't be any more bluish photos for back cam :fingers-crossed: However, front cam is weaker than the back cam so its photos will be clear for near objects as it is mostly the case, but away objects may have slight bluish tint in total dark. Whereas, less but visible light would have no effect on picture quality.

    Moreover, config for back cam is far quicker when capturing low light photos.
