Quick thread update:

- @Arnova8G2 v8.3b1 added to the main post, it replaces his v8.2 (moved to the archive post).
- I've added @Tolyan009 1.0.10 to the main post too. It's based on Google Camera 5.3.015, which doesn't have things like RAW, but it's a good version in my opinion. You might want to use his settings (with a mirror here, if XDA is too slow) for better details ( @Tolyan009, maybe these should be the default settings?).
- FYI: Tolyan009 changed his username on 4PDA to "TlnNeun", that's why new updates now have his new nickname instead of the old one.
- My ARCore/Stickers page was updated with new info sent to me by @starcms. He also found a few mistakes I made, which are now fixed.

Thats all for now.

:good:

Devs thanks for the great work.
I am planning to use the op3 as my main camera for my upcoming trip. Which version is reliable and has a good balance between quality (sharpness, Hdr and so on) and natural colors?

I use Arnova's v8.3b1, but any of the versions linked in the main post should be okay.

You can install more than one version and then use the one you find to be better. It would also be useful to have more than one version installed in case one starts crashing (or something crazy happens). For better pictures, use HDR+ enhanced (or HDR+ on in some versions) for better pictures (downside: it takes a second or two to capture the picture).

I've uploaded here two clones of the versions I have installed (Arnova's v8.3b1 and Tolyan's v1.0.10), they can be installed side-by-side. You can find suggested settings for both versions in the main post.

AR Stickers works with original ARcore

- Last AR Core : install it from the Play Store or APK Mirror

Profile for ARCore
Changelog :
- Add news profile
- Add profile for Android 8.1 and Android 9
- Must not be used for devices in this list: https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/supported-devices

version use "ro.build.product" detection : twrp-Patch-ARcore-for-all-device
version use "ro.product.device" detection : twrp-Patch-ARcore-for-all-device-Fix

Hi Arnova8G2 (and everyone)! On @S4turno's request, I've updated the ARCore patch TWRP flashable zips for devices without official ARCore support to v1.1 (the original being v1.0). These flashable zips now also take care of the additional step of renaming a folder that was required to be done manually post flashing the zip in TWRP in addition to doing what the original flashable zips were doing, thereby eliminating that extra manual step.

Attaching the updated zips with this post. Thanks to @S4turno for getting this to my attention as well as testing it. :highfive: Good day, everyone!

I was install last version of Arnova's 8.3b1 but pictures before I take pictures is freezing and slow motion. It's any tips and trick to fix it? I have HTC 10 8.0 Oreo stock.
Thanks guys

See if there's a thread on your phone's forums. Different phones have different software/hardware/issues, it's impossible for OP3/3T users to recommend fixes for issues we don't have.

Can you update the recommended settings? There are new settings like exposure compensation, Fix camera api2, auto exposure in portrait. Thanks

 

[NicestRudeGuy]

i found that hdr is not working with portrait selfies on arnova's latest build .

 

[grotesque02]

@S4turno what do you think about last arnova VS last tolyan?
Tolyan's app are very fast, no waiting time after a pics, but look's like colors are less "hdr".
Arnova have a great color but with max settings is very slow after a shoot.

 

[Animouse31]

For dark and night capture, recently my Gcam get a reddish color around the photo side.

I wonder if everyone got it too?

I'm using Arnova and tested the others, all have the same problem.

I already checked on the pink removal, but it still there.

What is the best Gcam?

Better than Arnova?

I'm using Gcam for nightshot, with the highest setting available.

The lighting is amazing. But when you open the image in PC, it's kinda blurred and noised.

V8.3b1 comes with new settings like "support level override" and "force HDR+ Enhanced", but we don't need them. For example, "support level override" was added because the OP6 needs it. Some of the options have different names (eg: "Auto-Exposure" instead of "Correction of auto-exposure HDR") but the rest it's basically the same. I'll create a new post or add a warning to my last post if these new settings are included on final v8.3.

To be honest, I don't think posts with suggested settings are that important anymore. They made sense a year ago when he had to do things like this, but recent apks from Arnova already come with good/stable settings. My last post is more a list of things you can change than than recommended settings. In any case, I'll keep creating these posts as they seem to help some users.

Regarding new settings, we should see more being added as developers move their focus to new phones and try to find good configs, add fixes, etc, just like they did with 3/3T. We have to ignore these new settings and keep using the old (or default) ones as they are the best for our phone. Eventually we might be better off with old versions as new updates introduce bugs and don't bring anything new for us (sometimes features are removed - eg: Google Camera 5.3.015 doesn't save RAW files) but let's wait and see what happens.

You seem to have a Xiaomi phone, so you should ask here as we (OnePlus 3/3T) don't know how Google Camera works on your phone. We have different hardware, software, and issues.

I use Arnova's v8.3b1.

Tolyan's v1.0.10 UI looks better. It has icons, it's tidy, etc, but from a few tests I did, details in low light are better on Arnova's version. I've been busy with work and haven't had the time to find better settings... so I use what works best for my usage with minimal changes.

Regarding the speed, do you really need high settings? I assume you're talking HDR+. Give "default (lowest)" or "low" a try for a few days.

@S4turno the AR stickers doesn't work on OP3 and OP3T. It seems the apk are for android 8.1 and up. But on stock rom, Op3s have android 8.0. The package doesn't install, parse failed.

Thanks for your work!

Oh, that's why other 3/3T users complained on the Telegram group. They're all using OOS and according to APKMirror even old AR Stickers apks require at least 8.1:

I'm running LineageOS (8.1), so it was working fine:

Sadly there's nothing I can do. Files are provided by Arnova8G2 and I'm just a normal user.

I think there is a way to modify the apk. I don't remember where I found, but the AR stickers I'm using it's working on android 8.0, it's a modified apk found on xda some time ago. It's a bit old version but it works anyway.
So there must be a way to change the min sdk from 8.1 to 8.0

It is due to the MinSDK criteria. I have decompiled and edited the AndroidManifest.xml of the apk.
