Working Gcam APK port for G7 one!! (Pixel camera app)

[Professorbondo]

Hi,
Just got my G7 One and the only disappointment was the camera. It is horrible out of the box. Horrible after updates.

So I found a Gcam port that works on my phone.
The difference in quality, performance and function is insanely better.
I tried a few APK's. This one runs beautifully, without any force closes or errors with my use so far.

Found it in another xda forum for the g7 thinq
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/themes/app-google-camera-gcam-lg-g7-thinq-t3855081

It's the first one listed.

That's great news. I just bought this phone from Koodo, waiting for it to arrive. What's the camera launch speed like? What about focus speed?

 

[Professorbondo]

They both launch incredibly quickly. However, the Gcam, to me, seems to focus and react faster in every situation.
The stock cam gimmick AI cam can't tell something is not a hotdog.
The flags and settings in Gcam are a bit intimidating. You can do a lot of customization and tweaking.
Gcam is overall more intuitive, flexible, and capable.
Oh, and you can disable the shutter sound in Gcam. Not possible on the stock app.

The low light pics are good for me with the stock cam app

I'm glad you have had a positive experience.

I did not have that experience.

The first pics I took were low light and they looked like a 90s webcam was used... I'm only slightly exaggerating. That's what set me on the search for a different app.

Daytime pics seem ok. And the stock app does have some potential if they can get the AI cam to work.

But, this is my subjective opinion and experience.

Open camera is pretty cool too.

Hey Professorbondo, you mention its the first one at that link, but I'm assuming the first one has changed now (its a v6.1 apk). Do you recall the file name for it? Is it still working well for you? thanks in advance!

 

[JohnSoong]

I installed the latest one for normal camera (rather than the one with normal/wide angle):
LGN1_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d.apk (cstark27, 2018-12-15, Normal angle only)
Definitely better than the stock one from LG. <But I am keeping the LG one around ... It is good for quick snapshots.>
However, there is no option to save the photos to SD card on this GCam, which may be problematic with our 32G internal storage. (I guess that is because the Pixels don't have SD card?)

EDIT: One flaw found - when Camera is invoked from Google Hangouts, it will not take pictures. (Pressing either on-screen button or vol button did nothing.)
Also noted occasional slow shutter response when used as standalone app, and it takes longer to be ready after a shot is taken. (This last is know issue with the Pixel's Cam ... guess it takes time to do post-processing.)

thanks for the heads up!

i chose the normal lens one as suggested in the previous post and have been quite impressed with the camera thus far. it feels a touch laggy at times but i don't take many pictures so it's not a huge deal and may just be perceptual on my end. low light performance is pretty impressive and the gcam app definitely feels like a big improvement on the stock camera app. cheers!

Can someone please help share the stock camera APK?

 

[Fifarulez]

This is not the right place to ask for that, I think, but I would be happy to share the LG G7 One stock camera APK.
