HDR+ looks better for sure. It is sharper and more detail.

I think it's a pretty close call. In general I prefer the it over the HTC camera, and I'm not too sad that the slow motion is force closing.

I had a big issue with blur in the HTC camera. Any motion in shot would result in blur. The port is better in this respect

I'm using GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3.apk, any suggestions for settings?

Thanks

Best settings for me so far are;

Config camera HDR+
Pixel 2017 Zsl HDR+

Model
Pixel 2XL

HDR+ parameters
Super high

With those settings, night pictures had a green tint to them. In advanced settings I turned on the 'remove pinkish/ reddish' toggle, and that worked well to give accurate colours

Anyone care to share their settings?

I cannot use portrait mode with front camera. When turn it in front camera, i cannot take picture. When i turn this mode off in front camera, app is force closed.

 

[msc125]

Yes, portrait mode with front facing camera is a known bug

It's worth checking the thread in OP regularly to see if it's been fixed, and also there are new versions out

The Slow Motion is also not working with the version I am using (v1.3)

In the new version (1.5) I get black screen when setting HDR+. Any idea why?

Thanks, those settings worked for me

Will there be any difference in quality when using the Pixel in the Config Camera HDR+, vs Nexus 6 Auto. As in, the Pixel 2XL camera is better than the Nexus 6, is that reflected in this app?

Same as for the 'Model' settings

i.e. would the settings exactly emulate the camera that you choose?

Also, mentioning @Arnova8G2 as per his request to mention him in device specific threads

 

[msc125]

I'm back to V1.3, having tried 1.5 and 1.6

I am getting much better low light colour accuracy, and sharpness with 1.3

 

[msc125]

My settings attached

I don't think I changed anything in the debugging section

 

[msc125]

All,

New version out, with no settings to tinker with

GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V1

I haven't compared photo quality to v1.3 yet

However, portrait in selfie mode works!!

Slow motion video still results in a force close

All,

New version out, with no settings to tinker with

Could you please provide a link to download? Thanks

Latest version doesn't work. I tried the same settings in Developer Settings within the app, no joy

It doesn't take/ save the photo

But selfie works

Shame, because the ISO and focus settings are cool

Has/ will anyone be able to try out some settings? I have no idea what they all mean..... ><

V1.6 works on my device. But if I tick HDR+, main camera doesn't work.

 

[msc125]

Yeah, I need HDR+

I've got good results with V2 of the Google Camera Port, but occasional hue problems

V3 is out now, hue is fixed in changelog

Try those mate, less configuration needed, and still really good results

Can we set the Google camera port app as the default camera app? ie open it on lockscreen ( which is secured ) with the double press of the power button? Or by an edge sense gesture?
