[GCam] [Wide Angle] LG G5,LG G6,LG V20,LG V30 - v4.2

The lower the value, the faster the processing speed.
The higher the value, the better the quality of the photo.

Try to find a balance.. It is also possible that there will be little to no difference regarding quality when comparing super high and medium, but the difference between processing the image may be high.

For those interested in the play store now there is the application
GCam Tool is a tool offered by Google playstore that allows you to optimize the management of photos taken with Google Camera, automatically placing them in the gallery.

When making shots with the blurry background, Google Camera saves the photos in a new folder in the gallery. The app offers the possibility to automatically move them to the correct position.

On the main screen you can start or stop the execution of the app, while in the configuration panel you can select the folder in which Google Camera will save the photos and the desired destination, with the ability to choose whether to copy only the pictures portrayed or all.

Is slow motion working for you guys? Mine doesn't! :crying:

The camera force closed every time I opened it.

Slow-mo on my V30 and latest camera builds work with no problems.

I have an Essential phone and everything works fine but the slow motion!!!

It's still much better than other modded cameras out there that I tried before for my phone.

Thanks

I've notice the same. When taking some more (3-5) photos one by one - phone freezes - like it have lack of processing power... LGV30.

I installed V3.5 on my Pixel 2 and it is as fast as the stock camera app, while on my V30 it is noticeably slower. I do not know how Google optimized their phone so well with respect to GCam but it's amazing how much better it runs on the Pixels. On my Pixel I can capture ~10 photos and only have maybe 1 or 2 not HDR+ Processed and the phone doesn't lag. On the V30 I have to stop at 4 to 5 photos before it starts lagging and already have 1 or 2 not HDR+ Processed photos.

What is the recommended hdr speed? I put LOW

"Default" is what the Pixel's use. The HDR+ Parameters changes how many frames are captured in HDR+ Enhanced. From 7 at Default up to ~46 at Very High. I have found that handheld, Medium is the best compromise, but I usually just leave it at Default. Once the slow shutter speed mod is dialed in, it will give better results than changing HDR+ Parameters in my opinion. I mean, it already does as far as noise and detail goes, Adaptive Shutter mod just needs to be reigned in a little so it's not SO slow and makes handheld images blurry.

@aer0zer0 has a magisk module to help with that I believe, please read his thread here in the Essential forum: https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/themes/magisk-based-gcam-port-ar-sticker-t3730837

Hi cstark27. The long exposure was a very nice feature added,t.

Example attached.

 

[dar_zen]

the long exposure is groundbreaking for ''night time traveling shots''. i hope you will be able to add on/offon the viewfinder and cap the shutter speed at a faster speed.

 

[toosas]

fantastic work, thank you so much

@cstark27
I join the thankful choir for the long exposure mode. I've tried several times this feature in other developers' mods but this is the first time it predictably works on the LG G6.
I noticed that when the scene gets really dark, the camera crashes. It seems to be related to the processing time. The waiting spinner ring is divided into 14 sectors and the camera can crash either in the beginning, before the first sector is completed, or in the middle of the processing. A strange thing however: after 4 sectors out of 14 are completed, the photo appears in the preview circle and the rest of the processing doesn't seem to impact the result. If the camera crashes after the 4th sector, you'll still get the picture. Another strange thing is the ISO indication. It's normally 50 or 53, but when the processing gets long, it always indicates 2147483647.
It looks like the picture are taken at the lowest available ISO. Would it be possible to progressively increase the ISO value as the lights are getting low, so the camera can keep a relatively fast processing time. I mean pictures are beautiful at iso 50, but they are still very nice even at iso 400. Maybe increasing the iso could solve the bug with crashing camera?

Give it shot honestly, its hit or miss, lots of phones with the same fix dont work? what phone are you using currently, and OS.

If you can send me a the media profile xml, and where it is located system/etc or vendor/etc ill take a look. Personally, if @cstark27 removed slo-mo entirely, in favor of anything in the world or nothing it all, id be good with it. Its janky anyways.

Do you mean HDR+ enhanced, or you typical zero shutter lag HDR+? I can shoot ~10 photos with no lag in zero shutter lag HDR+ mode in v3.5 on Note8.
Thanks for all your work, by the way, I love how stable your version is on Note8, and slow shutter is a gamechanger.

ZSL HDR+ (I also meant to say the photos were taken maybe half a second apart, right after moving the phone slightly so focus and exposure had to readjust - or quick photos of my moving child). I really am not a fan of LG's camera performance. Viewfinder FPS is pretty bad too, for a 2017 flagship... but oh well.

Thanks for the perspective from the Note 8. I tested one of my older versions on my coworkers S8, and even just panning it around the office it seemed pretty smooth and quicker than on the V30 but I didn't play with it extensively. :good: I've been curious how other phones did with the port.

Top notch performance on Note8. Portrait works in front and back. Slow motion still kills the app, but you must already know that. Thanks again for all your work.

Wide angle slow motion crashes the app

Thanks a lot for the hard work. tested the both the apks on my V30+, slow motion doesnt work on the wide angle version but rest are working smoothly.

@cstark27 grazie per il duro lavoro che hai fatto e continui a fare per noi possessori di G6.
Ti scrivo dal mio LG-G6 H870 e sto usando la tua iltima versione di GCamv3.5. Nonostante credo le cose siano migliorate rispetto alla precedente versione, ho 2 appunti da farti. 1)ho ancora problemi con le foto il LL. Mi virano o verso il verde oppure verso il magenta (dipende ovviamente dalle impostazioni che metto). 2. Nelle foto, svafiate volte non vengono messe a fuoco nella maniera corretta (esempio volto, gli occhi messi a fuoco e le labbra no. P.S. non mi riferisco alla Modalità ritratto ma al classico "punta e scatta" oppure selfie) Sono l'unico ad avere questo problema?
Cosa mi consigli? Grazie per il tempo che ci dedichi.
Ho anch'io il problema che dopo una serie di scatti l'applicazione si arresta.

Thank you for the hard work you have done and continue to do for us G6 owners.
I am writing from my LG-G6 H870 and I am using your latest version of GCamv3.5. Although I think things have improved compared to the previous version, I have 2 notes to make you. 1) I still have problems with the LL photos. They turn me either towards green or towards magenta (obviously depends on the settings I put). 2. In the photos, svafiate times are not focused in the correct way (example face, eyes focused and lips no PS PS I do not refer to the portrait mode but the classic "point and shoot" or selfie) I am the unique to having this problem?
What do you suggest me? Thank you for your time.
I also have the problem that after a series of shots the application stops.

I'm going to skip "LG G6 Color Fix" in the code if Slow Shutter option is also enabled, in the next release.

I'm not too sure what you mean about focus. Try to tap to focus on a face, or use HDR+ Enhanced - it is usually sharper. If you tap to focus, focus will be locked until you restart the app, change cameras, or modes (a bug).

Is there any way to use this apps on a Xiaomi A1?
The A1 has 2 rear-cameras (normal, tele) and 1 front camera, but too bad the 2nd rear camera is not shown with " Camera2Test app".
I installed both the 'normal' and 'wide' cstark27-Gcam, but only the 'normal' is working.
Thanks!
