Features:
Features depend on the GCam and Android version used, but overall:

- HDR+ Enhanced, Night Mode, Portrait Mode, Timelapse, Motion Photos, Lens Blur, Panorama, Photo Sphere, Photobooth, Motion tracking.
- Video (30/60FPS at 1080p, 30FPS at 4K), Timelapse, Slow motion (with a fix, check the FAQs for more info).
- ARCore and Playground (follow this guide);


How to use:
1. Download and open/install the apk file (how to).
2. Unless there's a "configs" or "suggested settings" link next to the download link or some settings posted with the apk, the app is ready for use.

- Some *old* versions require the front camera fix. 3T users also need this fix in order to take 16MP photos with the front camera.
- Feel free to explore the settings, but keep in mind that enabling the wrong options will cause problems.
- Issues? Check the troubleshooting post.

APKs from BSG, Arnova8G2, Tolyan009, etc:
Warning: some versions are not compatible with the 3/3T.
» Download here.

Differences between developers:
It all comes down to compatibility and the number of features available. Some developers do more work than others. For example, BSG and Arnova8G2 usually fix bugs and add important features while others only do small changes so the app can perform better on the 3/3T. Some of those changes are only visual (eg: different menus). [more info]

Best developers for the OnePlus 3 and 3T:
Usually versions from Arnova8G2, Tolyan009, and Urnyx05 work well on our phones. If you're looking for older versions, have a look at apks from Skulshady and Ivanich. Apks from other devs usually need the front camera fix.

OxygenOS vs custom ROMs:
This port works better on custom ROMs. Some features may not work on OOS without breaking something. Even if you don't use this app, consider moving to a custom ROM for security (link, link, link) and privacy (link) reasons. ROMs like LineageOS are great replacements for OOS in terms of features, updates, and security.

FAQ & Troubleshooting:
You can find answers for common questions and issues on this page:

- FAQs / troubleshooting.


OnePlus 3/3T specific FAQs:

OnePlus 3T 4MP front camera limitation:
Compared to the 3, the 3T has a different camera sensor that uses "pixel binning" (groups each group of 4 pixels into 1). To unlock the full resolution, you need to install the front camera fix. This requires Magisk (root).

Only use this if you have a 3T and really want 16MP. All versions linked on the main thread work without this fix.

Slow motion crash:
Slow motion is broken or has limitations since Android 8. There are a few solutions available if you need slow motion:

- (If GCam has working slow motion) Select the correct FPS:
Sometimes the default FPS set by the app is not supported by the OP3/3T. Some apps allow you to change this: explore the app's settings and look for something related to slow motion FPS. Select 120FPS or "1/4" and restart the app.

- (Android 8 and 9 only) Slow Motion Fix:
A magisk module is available here: Slow Motion Fix

This fix may cause instability/issues on some ROMs or GCam versions. It's not perfect, but works for many users. Some Google Camera versions don't support slow motion out of the box, so try the latest available on the main thread.

- Use the Nokia camera app:
The Nokia camera can be used to record slow motion videos. If you don't mind doing this, install the app and use it only for slow motion: com.hmdglobal.camera2_8.1041.71-linuxct-8104171.apk

I have exactly the same setup as you, Oneplus 3.
The first time it saved 60 fps video, all working as intended.

The second, i was shooting and focusing normally but i had issues saving the file.
I couldnt play the video with any player, and thumb was black.

After that, i got errors, camera force closing etc

Also, after installing the xposed module, stock camera on vertex (oos port) could not save videos at all, maybe you can check that as well.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Oh ffs.

I did a +1 min video test and then recorded another small video (~10 seconds) and got no error. Now I tried it again with a long video and you're right, the app crashes ("problem with the media recorder") on VertexOS. I should have tested more before posting it here. Lesson learned.

But... for some reason... it doesn't crash on Sultan's LOS.

But the Google Camera app records videos at 60fps, right? If doesn't I will add OOS to the "not compatible" list.

Tested this on OMNI. (OP3)
Both 60fps and Slomo work on Gcam.
I tested the OOS camera Port to check if I still have RAW support and all is good.

You can add OMNI to the list. :good:

Nice Have you tried long videos?

After recording a +2 min video, I tried to record another one and the app crashed. I rebooted and now I can record multiple long videos again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Google Camera refuses to boot after flashing this. It keeps force closing. Have tried several things it's just not working for me.

Which ROM? Using the OP3 or OP3T?

This seems to work very well with OmniROM, CarbonROM and NucleaRom. I recorded long videos (10-30 minutes) on these ROMs and had no issues.

It crashes on official LineageOS, but not always. For example, I was able to record a 5 min video without any issues, but then got the "problem with the media recorder" error on a 1 min video.

I've noticed that BSG released two new updates, but sadly both new versions break the video autofocus on this phone. Also, the video is too dark, so something is messing up the ISO... keep using the version 1.

Out of curiosity I used Google Camera from Google Play and while there's no HDR and video autofocus is broken, I was able to record 60fps video (with the Magisk Module) even on LineageOS without the app crashing...

It does work on latest PA 7.2.3 RELEASE. I checked it with BSG's Modded GCam. 30FPS/60FPS 1080p with Video Stabilization and 120FPS Slomo both working fine.
And it does not break the stock SD+ camera.

Did you tried to record long videos? Eg: +5 min.

When I tested this on the previous PA build, it would record small videos (~1 min) without problems, but crashed if the video was longer.

Thanks

PA 7.2.3, all following instructions in 1st posts. 60 fps, lens blur, panorama working. Thanks OP!

EDIT. Almost forgot, if you see suttering WHILE RECORDING in 60 FPS, don't worry, after you watch your record, it will be smooth

Thanks for the feedback, I had issues with the previous PA build.
