FP3: Pixel camera app / Google Camera Port

Hello everyone,

Avid user of GCam here (mainly Nikita NGCam 7.4 on FP3 and 8.2 on FP3+ ;
FP3 became FP3+ after CAM upgrade)

I have quick questions for other users:

1. Do you use GCam “out of the box” ?
2. Did you find a way to reduce the HDR+ processing time to acceptable levels (like a few seconds) ?

I also did a little experiment about question 2, here are the results:

  • Nikita’s 8.2: NGCam_8.2.300-v1.8
    Out of the box 20 sec / 3 - 5 sec after disabling “Hexagon DSP”

  • BigKaka’s 8.4 AGC8.4.300_V9.6
    Out of the box 18 sec (“Hexagon DSP” disabled) / 13 sec when disabling “Top Shot” / 35 sec when enabling “Hexagon DSP”

  • BSG’s 8.7 MGC_8.6.263_A11_V11_ENG
    Out of the box 26 sec (no “Hexagon DSP” feature to tweak)

  • Greatness’s 8.2 GCam8.2.204_Greatness.230503.2134
    Idem, out of the box 26 sec (no “Hexagon DSP” feature to tweak)

Quick conclusion:

  1. Disabling “Hexagon DSP” makes HDR+ processing much master
  2. But on GCam >= 8.2 there are extra processing operations that lead to a too high processing time
