Any news? I went from using an LG G6 with Gcam to P20 Pro and would say that I pretty much overall preferred the camera on my old LG which is really disappointing. One of the main reasons I hope for a gcam version compatible with p20 pro is the zsl. my pictures are so much blurrier whenever I shoot a moving object compared to the gcam that I'm almost starting to wonder if my p20 pro is faulty? anyone else with similar experience?
Google Camera Mod for P20 Pro
- Thread starter Spacemanglam
- Start date
This device has almost no support from devs mate. I don't think gCam port will be made for Kirin. You need to wait for S10 like I do 
I have used this port and it's practically unusable - the colour balance is all over the place as the white balance isn't working. You can tweak it to make it kind of ok in a giving lighting scenario but as soon as you move into a different light it looks really bad again. I don't think it will ever be fixed TBH.
Not to mention, the P20 Pro has a 40mp camera, which likely presents even more challenges than the Mate 10, and is probably the main reason why the app doesn't work at all.
Anyone have a link? Would greatly appreciate it

Maybe you guys are having problems because mate is on pie and most of you are on 8.1? Upgrade through funkyhauwei. I'm on 9.0.3

I have a version that opens on EMUI 9 and can take/save photos. You need to download the one on this page of the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/google-camera-mods/app-arnovas-google-camera-port-t3862448/page77
Settings you need to enable:
Settings > Advanced > FIX > Black Level Front camera = 16 = Enabled
Settings > Advanced > FIX > Viewfinder Format = YUV_420_888
Settings > Advanced > Others > Enable Google photo = Enabled
Night sight and Portrait not yet working but everything else does.

I have been digging around and found this port here. Although it doesn't work, interestingly panorama and Google Lens work, and if you go to "More" The live viewfinder will work. It's a shame this doesn't work because it has the new Pixel 3 UI and features(like Night Shot, which obviously doesn't work on this device).

As a noob to replacing stock camera APK and not rooted, can I use any of these apks? If I do and it doesn't work how can I get the stock apk back easily ? Sorry if this is a dumb question ...

8Some stable Google Camera ports for P20 Pro (CLT-L09)
Hey, guys,
Just a quick heads up. The Google Camera on your P20 Pro is not useless at all. As I have posted in a different thread earlier, the stock camera has major focusing issues in close-up shots due to the multiple-lens setup. In short, you have to be very lucky to get a well-focused macro shot with it. MGC (Modded Google Camera), on the other hand, relies solely on your main 40MP lens to take beautiful sharp pictures and videos every time. Even without Pixel's HDR+ and portrait mode, MGC beats stock hands down when it comes to overall image sharpness, colour reproduction and focusing speed (due to Pixel's ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag) technology), not to mention the built-in AR-based panorama and photo sphere modes. But the proof, as they say, is in the pudding (See the attached images).
Big thanks go to Magnus3D for pointing out a semi-stable OP6v0.1_5.1.018 MGC for P20 and P20 Pro earlier in this thread. There are also more stable (subject to further testing) ports available with manual focus support for those all-important close up shots in all 40MP glory. They are UriKill_MGC_5.1.018_FinalMOD_All_Inc.apk and MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.1_manual_focus.apk. There is also a stable port without the manual focus option MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.5_beta.apk. I cannot be held responsible for their contents (as I am merely sharing my own experience). All credit for making these links available for download goes to celsoazevedo of celsoazevedo.com.
Enjoy!7Hello @Arnova8G2,
I saw your work with the Google Camera Mod for various phones and I just want to say impressive work! I am using the Huawei P20 Pro and absolutely hates the Front Camera functionality. Tried to download your file to use on my phone but was unable to do so. When I try downloading it is says there as a problem parsing the package. Do you by any chance know if it would work with the P20 Pro? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.7An interesting discovery today. It turns out that a version of GCam for P20 and P20 Pro with HDR+ support has been hiding in plain sight among older builds. I am testing this now. Pls, post your own findings here.
Update: Yepp. It's official. For better or worse, but we finally have HDR+ on P20 Pro with this build of GCam.6There is another workaround on the overexposed front camera images using the Google Photos Editor App
(I've read it from another XDA thread).
The results are stunning! It's almost as if the photos were taken using an actual Google Pixel front camera! (In my opinion)
I suppose the image enhancement algorithm for the Google Photos app is similar to the image post-processing of Google Pixel phones.
Note: Google Photos is commonly preinstalled along with Gmail, Hangouts, GMaps.
Step 1 - Snap a selfie using the native app
Step 2 - Preview the photo and click the (...) at the bottom right
Step 3 - Click Advanced Edit ---> Select Google Photos
Step 4 - Select the second icon next to the filters menu.
You will find 3 sliders (Light, Color, and Pop)
Step 5 - Slide Pop all the way up, as well as Color.
You may tweak the settings more for Color and Light too!
(There are more options when you expand it)
Step 6 - Click Save.
Find sample photos below:2I see, ok.. i went through a page with a lot of different versionf of the Google Camera ported and i tested a whole lot of them to see which one's worked. Of all i tested, some 25-30 different apps i found two which works with acceptable results.
OP6v0.1_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk
MGC_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__A7.0-8.1_MI5S_v2b_SG7Exy_v2.apk
These two get's the job done, obviously without any HDR+ but you get some pretty crisp and clear looking jpeg's from both of these with great amount of details rendered and noise is well controlled even at high ISO's. The first one even shoots 40mpix jpeg's which is nice!
