Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Exynos with android 9.0 Pie and OneUI 1.0, not rooted.
I have searched for a Gcam apk to work with my phone with night sight (night mode) and eventually all features working ;)

The solution that I found is the following:
First, I have installed:
Arnova's Advanced 1.5: GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850.apk (Arnova8G2, 2019-04-18)
from here:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/

I have used the following settings in the application:
Mod settings:
- HDR+ parameters: 15
- Autoexposure correction: 1,5 sec
- Correction NightSight: 1/6 sec
- Pixel 3 AWB: “ON”
- Advanced > Base > Config > “Pixel2018 HW Zsl Hdr(need YUV)
- Advanced > Base > Back camera > “Pixel 3 XL”
- Advanced > Base > Front camera > “Pixel 3 XL”
- Advanced > FIX > Using Sabre: “Auto”
- Advanced > FIX > RAW Format: “RW_SENSOR”
- Advanced > FIX > Viewfinder Format: “YUV_420_888”

Photo:
- Advanced > General > Final JPG quality: “100%”
- Advanced > General > Option HDR+: “ON”
- Advanced > Portrait > Enhanced HDR+: “ON”
- Advanced > Portrait > Remove zoom: “ON”
- Advanced > Portrait > Save to /DCIM/Camera: “ON”
- Advanced > Nightvision > Alternative config: “ON”
- Advanced > Others > Optical Stabilization (OIS): “ON”

All the features of GCam are working without error.
I have tried also to install from the same site:
Arnova's Advanced 1.7: Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800.apk (Arnova8G2, 2019-07-16)

with the same settings are there are no problems there also.
If this helps you, don't forget to press the THANKS Button :)

I have tried to install the version: Arnova's 6.2.030 v2.2: Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.190716.1800-Final.apk (Arnova8G2, 2019-07-16) from the same link but I have no image and I cannot access the settings.

Has someone with root tried to install this version?
Maybe it doesn’t work on my phone because it’s not root?

How about speed?
Can we shoot pics with Enhanced HDR+ enabled one by one?
Means take a pic and do not wait for processing to take the next pic?
