I'm non-rooted OP3T user using GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.6.apk on OOS5.0.1
After that there has been V1.7, then other comments talking about magisk zips & modules.
For a laymen, is there any apk which I should upgrade to??
I only use GCam for taking portrait shots with rear camera.

Thanks to all developers for working on something which should've been done by oneplus.

@Arnova8G2 can you make the settings "use HDR + on the front camera" (regardless of the config you are using)? as it was done on some of the mods B-S-G.
This is useful for two reasons:
1. HDR + on the front camera works only on the pixel config or N6P, but on the OP3 (T) stable config for the main camera only Nexus 6, i.e. now I have to choose - or stable work of the main camera, or HDR+ on the front. On N6 config HDR + on the front camera does not work.
2. Now users without root can not use your mod, at startup they see a black screen (as far as I understand, by default, HDR+ is activated on the front).
And they really want to get working autofocus and optical stabilization in video mode.
Thanks! :)

For Pixel2Mod, I wanted to google a version without config.
Yes, using nexus6, hdr + is not enabled on the front camera.
I can default Nexus 6 and for the front camera pixel 2017 or N6 and config parameter hdr + used only for the rear camera.
Or so I'll do a test with the code of GCMod5 for the pixel on the rear camera.

I can confirm, this magisk module works flawless on the OP3 running Beta 31.
Both HDR+/enhanced HDR+ and Portrait Mode are finally working on the OP3 with the front facing camera.
Thanks a lot to anybody working on this project and making this happen!

A special thank you goes out to @defcomg
Huge respect, you fixed what even OnePlus wasn't able to in such a short time.
Unbelievable!

Now all we need is to be able to set different configs for the front and rear camera,
or a fix for enhanced HDR+ issues with Pixel config.

Even if this won't be possible, I just have two versions installed and use a launcher shortcut to go into selfie mode.

Edit:
I also noticed that using the Pixel 2017 ZSL with enhanced HDR+ isn't causing any freezes on the frontfacing camera. Could it be possible to also edit the libs for the rear facing camera to somehow fix the issues with the Pixel configs?

Thanks for everything devs, you have made a very big upgrade for my OP3's front facing cam. Pictures are great now. Better colors, great details.

But i want to say that, it takes a bit long to take a selfie with HDR+. Can you guys do some magic and decrease capture time?

This version works with the lib of @defcomg
ChangeLog :

This version replaces the original version of google and BSG.

GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V3.apk

** Please mention me in the thread of your device with a logcat or screenshots.

Fix for Front HDR+ By @defcomg
OP3T Fix for Front HDR+ Magisk FRONTCAM_PORTRAIT_FIX_OP3T[1].zip
OP5T Fix for Front HDR+ Magisk FRONTCAM_PORTRAIT_FIX_OP5T.zip

Test Fix for Front HDR+ By @defcomg, you have to think after replacing the lib to update the permissions (Owener root 0 / Group root 0 / rw-r--r-- 644)
OP3 Test Fix for Front HDR+ extract .so file, replace and try libmmcamera_imx179_test0.zip
OP5 Test Fix for Front HDR+ extract .so file, replace and try libmmcamera_imx371_test.zip
Can someone provide this apk? I'm not able tk download from gdrive

A quick recap of our front camera situation:

- HDR+ and Portrait are now available for Android 8 users (Oreo). The fix was created by @defcomg (xda thread, paypal link).
- As far I know this fix doesn't work on Android 7 (Nougat). If you want to use this, you'll need to upgrade to Oreo (OOS or custom).
- The fix can be applied via a Magisk module or by manually moving files to a directory (root required).
- Works (at least with) @Arnova8G2 Pixel2Mod_v3 and @SKULSHADY's GCam 1.8.
- We may need to test again the settings to see which ones are better for our device.

HOW TO APPLY THE FIX:

OP3:
- Magisk:
1. Download and install this module via the Magisk Manager.
2. Reboot.

- Using a file manager:
1. Download and unzip this zip.
2. Using a (root) file manager (eg: MiXplorer), move the two files (libmmcamera_imx179.so and libmmcamera2_mct.so) to /system/vendor/lib
3. Make sure the permissions for both files are 644.
4. Reboot.
(5. Repeat these steps every time you update your ROM)

OP3T:
- Magisk:
1. Download and install this module via the Magisk Manager.
2. Reboot.

- Using a file manager:
1. Download and unzip this zip.
2. Using a (root) file manager (eg: MiXplorer), move the file (libmmcamera_s5k3p8sp.so) to /system/vendor/lib
3. Make sure the permissions for the file is 644.
4. Reboot.
(5. Repeat these steps every time you update your ROM)

I know that this is just a phone, but I'm really happy with this improvement!

Thank you @defcomg! @Arnova8G2 also tried to fix this problem, so props to him too. Let's not forget the people that helped test this (via PMs, Telegram, etc) and provided feedback (and logs!).

:D :D
Work on RR 7.12 Nougat :laugh:
