Google Camera and HDR +

What is the meaning or description of technology HDR +
Specifically, in our case, the Google Camera allows you to take pictures not at the level of the Chinese state employee (like a native camera), but at the Google Pixel level (a phone from one of the best cameras on the market) at the expense of a similar camera module and ported algorithms.
Of all the mods (the one with the Pixel | Nexus camera), the following versions are relevant: 3.2 and later 5. * and 6. *.

Where to begin?

If you have Android 7 or higher , download the latest version of version 5.1, best from Tolyan009 (or al_ro, it adapts to our phone) with manual focus (mf postscript to the name of the version).
Configure as follows:
In advanced settings

• Model: N6P
  
• HDR + configuration: Auto
  
• HDR + options: High or Medium
  
• Black level settings: Enable for main camera, set all 4 color settings to 63.70
  
• Photo resolution in blur mode: 12 Mp
  
• Final quality jpg HDR +: 95% (if you are going to process the photo, then 100%)
  
• Enable HDR + on the front camera: yes, if you are on custom firmware with Android 8.1
  

If you have Android 6 , then install one of the versions 3.2 (it doesn’t need to be customized). It has better color rendering, but the gluing algorithm is worse: on fixed objects the picture will be more pleasant, but on moving objects artifacts may appear.

• пїЅ The originals and clones of GCam, exactly working on the Mi5S
  (For versions 6.1 and 8 of the android, you need to work correctlymodule )
  
  
• пїЅ Current version of GCam 3.2 (no need to understand the settings, are well suited for shooting people (but not moving children)) (Android 6+)
  
• пїЅ Collection of all available GCam mods (not necessarily suitable for our device) (Latest versions mainly for Android 8+)
  

• Installation instructions and recommendations for setting up Google Camera (+ description of developer settings) (Replenished).
  
• Android 6: GCam up to 3.2; Android 7: GCam to 5.1; Android 8: GCam to 6.1.
  
• How to use configs in the latest GCam

  • The config is a quick preset of settings created by the user for the fastest and easiest change of settings for certain situations.
  • Configs are stored along the waysdcard/ Gcam / configs /
  • You can save the config from the application settings.
  • Restoring the config is done through the config menu, which can be accessed like this:
• If Google Cameradoes not work on custom firmware , you need to delete files:
  System / etc / permissions / com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
  System / framework / com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
  
• Google Camera may not run on firmware without GApps
  
  
• When installingnew versionThe mod is highly recommended: clear the data of the existing application, delete it, put a new one.
  
• After changing the GCam settings, unload the application from memory and start it again.
  
  
• Portrait mode and HDR + for Mi 5s front camera availableonly on Android 8+. At MIUI, it does not work. The firmware core must support "cam2api level 3" for the front camera
  
• Mode "Portrait" in any case creates a separate folder for each pair of photos.There is a menu item in advanced settings.
  
• ZSL (zero shutter lag) is available on the pixel config with auto HDR +. At the same time, the phone takes a photo constantly, and after pressing the shutter, it immediately starts to process them. It is not always useful for the quality of the photo + sits the battery.
  
• GCam clones are needed to put several versions side by side for comparison or sharing. Package names have been changed. Also most often the sounds are cut out. in version 3.2, they cannot be disabled otherwise.
  
• RAW in GCam is not an ordinary snapshot of information from the matrix, as you might expect, but ratheralready processed by photo algorithms that are not compressed in jpgThat allows you to be a little more free in the post-processing.
  
• Item augmented reality in gcam

Video recording

• Module to activate video stabilization in 4k(Miui and custom, Android 8)
  
• FHD * 60fps, 4k * 59.9fps, HD * 240fps + camera applications for this(updated)
  
• FHD * 60fps via Google Camera on Android 8.1
  
• 1080p 120fps without flashes on LineageOS 15.1 and MIUI 9
  
• 60 fps for Android 6(miui 8)

Useful

• Module for improved camera performance from eszdman (GCam 6.1 on 8 android, 60fps, long shutter speed in GCam, improved focus and the rest)
  
• Launch Nubia Camera (for shooting the star path)
  
• Increased shutter speed for ALL camera applications (even for GCam)
  
• Collection of mods (bile data, patches) from Wave Generator and eszdman for different versions of Android (TWRP)
  
• RAW and manual settings

  For shooting in RAW with manual camera settings (long exposure, manual white balance ..) you need to use third-party applications (Proshot, Camera FV-5, Snap Camera HDR Manual Camera). However, shutter speeds of up to 1/2 or less will be available. To add the ability to set a second or longer shutter speed, apply a patch.

  SI used the V1 patch (even though they write there that it is not, it works on miui (but maybe I was just lucky, so in any case, make a backup))
• STo remove sound when recording video and taking a photo, you can rename or delete system files with camera sounds (delete system's path on system / media / audio / ui path | rename files "VideoRecord.ogg", "camera_click.ogg", "camera_focus.ogg" ).

cremia, thank you, tell me how to shoot in rav and then open it, everyone writes that after the camera API from the header, the camera does not work. With me plus.

[CheSKA]

and-roid,
Not only this parameter affects, there is clearly something else there.
Like for example in this picture. On the right, in the Irfan view, where the built-in miniature was loaded, it is clear that there are no such artifacts.

Raw is in the firmware xiaomi.eu, I open it in Photoshop. After installing the camera API, the camera does not work, you need to reflash the phone.
Slow confirms the ability to record 1080P 120fps, but did not find a program that can implement it.

[CheSKA]

and-roid,raw + jpg he is unlikely to learn how to shoot of course. A viewer and editor. Dng in the phone as I understand it either?

In the next topic laid out the photo jpg and from raw I did jpg respectively. It can be seen that much more detail can be pulled out of the Rabbi, the shadows can be pulled out, etc.

Mrak4,

These photos you know how much was already, look for reviews on the Internet. I sold my s6 on IMX240 to buy this device.
I think that this one will definitely not be worse than the S6 because of a more modern module, you just need to take it off in the manual, especially at night - otherwise the machine gun is crazy. So if you want a good machine then this is a samsung, iphone and so on.

Although I will give an example here, the Rav with the manual steers always and everywhere on the example of samsung S6:

auto

manual

So - if you want quality, shoot or learn to shoot in the Rav with a manual, in this case the quality will be at the height and a mirror in 90 percent of cases will not be needed except for the night. For example, on a trip, I don’t take a phone except for a phone, on arrival I just edit Raw and that's it. The top camera module allows you to take good pictures, but it is hampered by the automatic.

Have you changed the phone to a normal firmware? Or you put a photo from the Chinese samopal?

CheSKA,it is most likely wound off the removal of chromatic aberrations, remove to zero and disappear

firmware weekly xiaomi.eu 6.11.3

[Obasriska]

Here is a comparison of three cameras on the example of a 100 ruble note.
1) Xiaomi mi5s with xiaomi.ru firmware 6.11.3 from user cremia

Xiaomi mi5s

2) iPhone 5S

iPhone_5S

3) zte z7max by asradex

zte_z7max

Who can another firmware also throw your result

[and-roid]

A bit of firmware testing from three different localizers (MS, multirom, xiaomi.eu), now xiaomi.eu 6.11.3. So in all was the RAW point (see attachment). When this item is activated, the phone simply removes the DNG file, the native viewer does not see this file, any QuickPic and so forth third-party dng viewers do not see. Something like I found something on the market that opens DNG, but firstly I'm not sure that it opens raw data and not a preview, secondly it does it so slowly that there is no point in this software. I do not remember the name, I found the query "DNG viewer".
It is different, in RAW, even with iso100 and short shutter speeds of 1/500 and shorter in all medium-lit and dark places, the obvious noise that you can remove without any means with the converter means. Align the photo on the re / under the light almost no sense because quite a bit of noise or terribly noisy is pulled out of the shadows, as lucky from the lights, but mostly too little. In general, I didn’t wait for a miracle from such a small matrix, even the latest modern from Sony, but there was hope for a miracle)) we’ll see what’s next it's not just about opticshttps://youtu.be/6_qmF77on7o https://youtu.be/CMYx2_orF18 .

Obasriska,
There is no point in comparing with different light and from different hands.
For the sake of interest, here you have 2 photos with note 3 pro. In theory, it should be worse to take a picture of all the smartphones above, but the photos came out better, IMHO

circassian07,
Wow, how so, a photo of 8 MB?

[circassian07]

Obasriska,
stock camera in maximum resolution and with minimal compression

[jdie]

Attention
Mi5_Camera2Api_Fix.zip is dangerous to install. The camera falls off.
Who has a root, give plz a file.
/system/etc/camera/msm8996_camera.xml
It seems this patch from mi5 put its xml and the cameras are different and the kirdyk came. To enable rav, as I understood enough to edit the file

busybox echo "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled = 1">>/system/build.prop;

or any editor.

[jdie]

I rebuilt the patch for mi5s. You can sew through twrp. Or, add a line with pens

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled = 1

in /system/build.prop
And copy the file /system/etc/camera/msm8996_camera.xml to the same directory on the phone. (it is necessary that the front-end work unopened)

First impressions - the camera is one hell is very noisy .. even at ISO 100. But for the phone is super. later I will lay out the test iphone 6, Mi5s, sony a7r

Kurkov1979 @ 11.11.2016, 10:59

jdie, hello everyone! People and no one tried to put the camera on Google Pixel? There the module is the same, and Pixel got a lot of points according to photo experts.

I tried, apk is not even installed. In any case, through a computer on a normal raw converter it will turn out better than through a pixel drain camera.

I played a bit, for myself I determined the max acceptable iso 400. Further, a lot of noise, when using noise, all the details are cut.
