Yeah of course otherwise why i would be posting it here. That's strange. maybe try to restart.
Restart phone or app? And thanks. I've tried the newest version and sometimes the images are better but in certain situations the essential camera was better when comparing so I thought maybe u were on to something and I'd try it

I don't have all the settings being mentioned when I install version 1.4 such as hardware level or Nexus 2015
This is because in v1.4+ (from this thread/Kisakuku) those settings are unnecessary. Stick with their posts.

Do you have specifically that version?
B-S-G's Modded Google Camera 4.4.020 with HDR+ for Android 7.0 / ARM64 v4.0 All-in-One Full Manual
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291676705
This is an old version. Note the version number following Google Camera. It is based on an old version of the camera, all the extra hardware settings and stuff have become unnecessary as far as I can tell. Just because that says v4.0 AiO doesn't mean it's the most recent, because Google Camera is beyond 4.4.020 now.

For anybody interested, the best settings I found for V1.4 (4.0.020) for me was one on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/73j3oe/google_camera_settings/
This thread is a over a month old and certainly about an outdated version of this port. In the previous quote, it says v4.0 AiO, but you just said v1.4 here, even though it's not. I can see how this would be confusing to others.

So which version should I be using with essential phone? I thought using the older version worked best so that's why I asked the questions so I could get the best results.

unfortunately, this version crashes on lineage os whereas that older version still works on lineage os.
Okay, I'm not sure when I was ever replying to anyone about different versions working on Lineage. Like trelll never even brought up Lineage AFAIK.

But cool anyway and/or that sucks, doesn't matter to me either way because stock is working just fine for me.

not sure why you are being so defensive. or being sarcastic. i am just stating a fact. i did not suggest you gave any wrong information or anything. just stating a fact about the versions you cited.

Definitely sarcasm, all in good fun. :p I was really just stating I never brought up Lineage.
Really though, let's not forget what we're all here for: how great this phone is and will be, either through our collective community development or Essential's own updates!

For some reason this version doesn't have any settings to modify it and also.womt.take pictures. Looks like stock camera app settings. Is it possible the wrong file was uploaded? I cleared the app data as well and still doesn't work
