Do any of these make use of the IR camera? I've tried enabling it manually in the setting (camera 4) but the app crashes after it attempts to access that camera.

[UPD] Super-Pack of Google Camera MODs for OnePlus 8 Pro!
- Thread starter Surfeur-des-Reves
- Start date
Hello there, unfortunately won't work, as far as I know. Might be able to tweak some GCAM mod to enable such access, but then, I don't know why no dev has made it possible yet... Must be related to some 'system access' that GCAM itself cannot get, or something completely different that I'm not aware of, sorry mate.
Here are V5.3 NiCkAM8PRO Profiles for latest B.S.G GCam 8.1 GV1r version.
Download (APK + Custom Profiles): https://ufile.io/7uwbisj1
This Mod is oriented toward Image Quality. HDR+ 'Enhanced' is ON and it takes a second to take the shot using the FINE profile (and about 5 to 10 seconds for the app/device to post-process the picture), about 2 to 4 seconds when using the 'HQ' one (better be steady/stabilized when using this profile).
A lot of editing in different sections of the settings, for EACH and EVERY lenses. Countless hours of work on it and several hundreds of test shots. I hope it can be helpful to some here.
Cheers!

An Update of the Super-Pack, V1.4, which contains All 4 GCam Mods I've been working on: https://ufile.io/o9jl4v9v
I also updated the OP with this additional advice, might be useful to some
"Also, one personal advice when using some, if not all of these mods: You will get BETTER EXPOSURE as well as LIGHTER SHADOWS when selecting your focus zone MANUALLY (within limits of your focus zone of interest, obviously). This goes for Daylight shots, as well as Nightshots, and another advice would be to try to select either a Dark area of your image (when shooting in daylight) OR one of the Brightest zones (for example, some streetlights at night), and then take the shot. The App should then do a better job at adjusting your Exposure, Contrast and Shadows, and this will greatly reduce risks of Under-Exposing or Over-Exposing your shots. When taking snapshots of people, in case the app can't detect their face, make sure you select it manually, you will definitely get brighter, more detailed skin results. It may be one extra-step, but I personally found out that it was usually worth doing it!"

I'd recommend you to stick to either Greatness or B.S.G, but this is my very personal opinion only.Thanks you very much for your work

New Custom Profile Pack for Latest B.S.G GCAM 8.1 'GV1r':
/// NiCkAM8PRO V5.5 Profiles \\\
Download (APK + XML): https://ufile.io/e1u0076y
Changelog:
- Added (back) the Social Share Menu in the Settings
- Added the Auto/Manual Focus Menu directly in the Quick Selection Panel
- Changed the AWB for 'Zoom' Lens from 'Sony IM363' to 'Pixel 4 Tele' for improved WB accuracy.
- Separated the Custom Settings in 3 specific categories: Fine (fastest one, handheld shots are no problem), HQ (shooting takes longer, be steady for 2-3 seconds) & Night (longest time, need to be stabilized for 10-15 seconds)
- Front Camera now uses the Flash/Screen-Light by Default, Face Retouch (Front) is also Disabled by default to preserve more details, but can easily be activated through the Quick Panel
Those of you who prefer stronger contrasts / blacks can use the 'Night' profile for any situation and simply switch the HDR mode to 'HDR+' instead of 'HDR-Enhanced'. Faster, Darker! ^^
>>> EDIT: I forgot to adjust a few values before publishing, the fixed version has been re-uploaded. <<<

Here is the same V5.6 version for B.S.G, but with Focus Tracking added (for those who struggle without it). However, due to the necessity to have 'OpenGL Preview' enabled for Focus Tracking to work, we lose the Face Retouch & Face Detect functions. If some of you have advanced knowledge of GCam settings, they might be able make both Focus Tracking and Face Detect/Retouch work, but I couldn't find the (Dev) setting to fix this myself.
Thank you, i need focus tracking and do not bother about retouch & face detect.
Great work!
No worries, I'll try to explainI'm a bit lost...
Is it for BSG or for NickCam? Or are they the same thing?
B.S.G GCam is the camera application. It comes with no custom setting for our OnePlus 8 Pro device. This is the reason I make custom profiles/settings for the application, and my custom settings are called 'NiCkAM8PRO' (it is not an app, only the profile's name). Hope it makes things a bit clearer...

Hello there,
You are indeed correct and I apologize for those who feel they have been fooled. I, myself, have been doing some testing of the UW lens with some 'landscape' shots...
...which was probably my mistake, as I couldn't see any distortion, contrary to what your 'architecture' shot reveals. My intention was not to trick anyone actually, but I should have done more testing. As you can see on the above picture, without geometric lines, there is hardly any visible distortion, but you're definitely right in pointing that the issue still exists, so I've modified the previous post accordingly.
Anyway, and as it seems there is finally no current fix concerning distortion correction in-app, I'd recommend using some PC/Mac apps for those geometric shots. Here is what I get with your picture, once fixed (though my own UW above shot was not corrected with it):

39Hello OnePlus Addicts,
Here is a Custom-Made SUPER-PACK of some of the newest Google Camera Mods available out there, which contains the work of several developers such as Greatness (Rakin), B-S-G, P.Z.D, MTSL, LMC and Wichaya.
Please, keep in mind that I am not an app developer, myself, just an enthousiastic end-user happy to share the good stuff!
DOWNLOAD (APKs + Custom Profiles): https://gofile.io/d/OCsHTd
[ LMC R15 is currently the latest GCAM Mod included in this Super-Pack ]
>>> The included XML configuration profiles are made for ONEPLUS 8 PRO ONLY! Using them on another device may result in some serious bugs, crashes, and it will definitely not bring you the same user experience... <<<
1) Just download the file above, unzip it (using the provided password), then install the apk file of your choice on your device.
2) Extract the appropriate xml configuration file, as well as its folder, onto your phone internal storage.
3) Then, just start the app, give the necessary privileges, double-click on the lower black area near the 'shutter' button of the app, it should allow you to load custom profiles. Select my xml, press ok, done!
Some of these mods come with Face Detection, Face Retouch (both Front & Back sensors), great color reproduction, low noise, excellent details (especially on the main back sensor), FHD & 4K videos @ 30/60FPS with OIS/EIS stabilization, Night Shots, Astro-Photography, Portrait and more...
However, there is still no Distortion Correction/Fix on Ultra-Wide sensor, on any GCam mod I have tried sor far actually. This might come in the future, but it seems to be quite hard for devs to implement in their respective mods. This can be fixed by some apps in post-editing anyway...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some 'hidden' shortcuts in some of these GCam mods! For example, with Greatness, P.Z.D, MTSL and LMC, you can access the (very useful) Exposure/ISO menu by long-pressing the circle 'gallery' button on the lower-right of the main app screen, which will provide you with a choice of ISO settings, as well as Exposure choices. The lower the ISO, the better the final picture quality, but it will take more time to 'capture' your image. The same goes for Exposure; the longer the time, the better your image (and the lower iso at the same time), but you may have to be steady if you go lower than 1/10s.
A long-press on the Camera-Switch button (on Greatness Mod), on the lower-left of the main app screen, will directly bring you to the App Settings.
Double-Press the viewfinder itself will zoom 2x to what you want to shoot, and will display the Zoom Bar at the bottom, so you can finely adjust it!
There is also a 'Sunset' shortcut on the main screen/viewfinder (Greatness Mod), just above the 3 back sensors, which should theoretically bring better color reproduction and lighting to your sunsets.
Also, one personal advice when using some, if not all of these mods: You will get BETTER EXPOSURE as well as LIGHTER SHADOWS when selecting your focus zone MANUALLY (within limits of your focus zone of interest, obviously). This goes for Daylight shots, as well as Nightshots, and another advice would be to try to select either a Dark area of your image (when shooting in daylight) OR one of the Brightest zones (for example, some streetlights at night), and then take the shot. The App should then do a better job at adjusting your Exposure, Contrast and Shadows, and this will greatly reduce risks of Under-Exposing or Over-Exposing your shots. When taking snapshots of people, in case the app can't detect their face, make sure you select it manually, you will definitely get brighter, more detailed skin results. It may be one extra-step, but I personally found out that it was usually worth doing!

If you enjoy my work, feel free to say 'Thank you' as well as a 'Thumbs Up', allllwayyys appreciated! ^_^13Well, hello there again
Here is my custom profile (V4.0) for LMC R13 Edition 
https://ufile.io/oyfwleal (APK + XML)
1) Just download the file above, unzip it, then install the apk file on your device.
2) Extract the xml configuration file, as well as its folder, onto your phone internal storage.
3) Then, just start the app, give the necessary privileges, double-click on the lower black area near the 'shutter' button of the app, it should allow you to load custom profiles. Select my xml, press ok, and voila!
-- XML CHANGELOG --
Lots of improvements and modifications to improve processing speed, quality and reduce noise on different sensors. Some color improvements made on all lenses, especially the IR (ID4), which should now bring very close results to what you see on the viewfinder! Also added some Black & White mode, for those who fancy it.
The XML is set to 'HDR-Net' by default, which means it takes shots instantly (and processes them in a second or two). If you need higher-quality results, just turn it off (using the icon on the left side of the viewfinder) and it will then use 'HDR+Enhanced' mode (15 frames, for good low-light shots especially).
Regarding IR sensor, it uses the real 5 megapixels sensor, so do not expect very high quality shots, especially as we do not have any appropriate noise model in the GCam app yet for it.
-- APP CHANGELOG --
LMC 8.4 Release 13 Fix 2
Added:
• ISO100, Max.Time, Max.ISO in shutter speed selection.
• Session selection for the system (initialization, most likely takes precedence over photo mode, necessary for devices that had to switch mode to activate sessions)
• 6 new sessions at the end of the list, thus adding probably all possible sessions at the moment
Corrections:
• Fixed work Mi12 Ultra
• Slightly changed excerpt code
• Fixes for some devices
'Exposure Compensation' (the 'White Sun' icon on the ViewFinder) is OFF by default. If your shots are too bright, just ENABLE it ('Blue Sun') and the exposure will be lowered.

NiCkAM8PRO V6 (LMC R15 GCam) Custom Pack (APK + Profiles): https://gofile.io/d/H33jkl
Changelog & Suggestions:
There are just too many changes in this new release to keep the previous V5x iteration, so here comes V6, with lots of optimizations and improvements in every app department. It would just take too long to mention every modification done to it, but after hours spent working on this new version, I believe it should bring even better noise reduction, speed and overall image quality (compared to previous release).
This time, only 2 custom XMLs are provided: FAST & HQ! They are mostly similar but 'FAST' brings instant shots (using Zero-Shutter Lag -ZSL- mode by default), very fast processing and 12MP image resolution (about 2-4MB per shot), while 'HQ' comes with HDR+Enhanced by default (with as low as 1/5s Exposure time and 20 HDR frames, so be steady for a second or two if shooting at night / in low light!), increased image resolution (6 to 12MB per shot) and therefore some slightly longer image processing time. JPEG compression is kept at 97% for both profiles, as it is a sweet spot in terms of quality / image size.
You can also use 'FAST' xml and activate 'HDR+Enhanced' function in the Quick Settings panel, which should limit Exposure time to 1/15s, for slightly better quality while remaining fast to shoot & process. This is actually the XML that most people should use, but if for any reason you need to use 'HQ', just make sure you are steady / use some stable surface (or increase Exposure time to 1/10s to 1/13s). However, if you use a tripod or a perfectly stable surface, you can even decrease Expo time to 'Max'...
Everything is user-adjustable, especially the exposure time, which can be quickly accessed with some long-press on the Gallery icon. Same goes for the number of HDR frames, which can be reduced or increased (if you use HDR+Enhanced mode).
If your shots are too bright, make use of the Exposure Compensation function (the 'sun' icon) or simply touch the viewfinder area and manually adjust your exposure using the slider.
Almost everything should work, including front & back video from all sensors. There is still no distortion correction for UW sensor, but this is not something that can be solved on my side, unfortunately.
For those with a rooted device / magisk installed (OOS 11/12/13 or custom ROM), you might get some better performance (especially if you get stuck at 1/100s in ZSL mode and wish to get as low as 1/15s) after flashing this magisk module (all credits go to those who developed it, not me): https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/camera-unlocker-oneplus-8-9r/?v1-2
As always, take this new release as it is, or leave it, but please remember this is all done for free, took countless hours of (my) time to create and is in no way made by a team of experienced developers. As for anything in life, there is surely room for improvement, and I strongly encourage users to adapt my work to their liking. Please remember that "if you can't say anything nice about something, just don't say anything at all", or at least try to be nice when reporting bugs or suggestions for improvement. And one last thing: we all have different preferences when it comes to photography.
Have fun with it!
