which mod do you use ?
I was using the F1Modv10.3 or whatever it was called, I see it’s now been updated and given a name change to F1MinimalMod2.1.
The modder is Sanity on here
I quite like results with the older version, have just discovered the new version so don’t know how it is

I tried also the newest version, mod 7.x but unfortunately for us, there is a bug which makes picture when grab the phone in landscape with night mode activated.
So that’s the reason why I’m staying on version 6.2, and for the focus issue what I do is to take another point and fix again what I need to shoot.
That really help me, at least, 90% of my time but it’s true it’s really annoying…
I don’t understand why the regular app doesn’t board any night mode or HDR+… The OS is already pro-Google so there is no reasons to don’t have a more integrated camera with them.
Nobody could suggest a concrete alternative?
Maybe this doesn’t help you but a workaround on the latest version would be to leave screen rotation lock on, but still take it landscape- the control orientation wont be correct but you won’t need to rotate the image once it saves as it realises.
Presumably we should set back camera to 3a, what about front camera? Is there any risk to damage the camera and/or do you know if san1ty has a reputation for APK being secure? Antivirus seems okay with it
Whom do you mean with “they”?

Has anyone here played with the aditional options
“Back camera model” (default Pixel XL)
and “Front camera model” (default Nexus 6p) ?
are those default settings even correct ?
Hmm had put back 3a & front 6P, only based on the 3a having the same sensor, seems to kind of work though takes a while to enter photo stream
I really like this version (make sure to delete application data after installing). No weird crashes so far. The portrait mode is also way better than with the stock camera app. The only downside is that it takes ~30 seconds to process a picture after taking it.

Yeah has anyone managed to overcome the time delay on it entering Photos?

I can recommend the last PX Mod - version 4.3. It processes HDR+ rather quickly, in like 5 seconds or so.
Please check https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-cstark27/ to download it.

Wow, it is so much faster, thanks!
Hmm it is quicker but I also experienced it struggling on focusing in low-medium light compared to default app

Seems like the new camera is using the same sensor as the galaxy s10 lite:
Guess what I will try when the new camera modul arrives…

I don’t know if it can help, but it apparently also uses the same sensor as the Nokia 7.2 according to that article, with the camera port here

Hi,
I just installed GCam port (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1148/) on the Fairphone 3+ I have to review. Did not test night mode yet (it is still daytime here 
) but everything seems to work well. Selfie in portrait mode is way better. Stock camera has a color issue and portrait mode blurs to close to the face, result is a bit weird in the hair.
“Stable” version (GCam_5.200604.2138build-7.3.021.apk) does not work, I had to stay on build 2111.
I will post comparison pictures later on Instagram or Twitter and put here the links.

That Gcam port to Nokia 7.2 crashes, I couldn’t even see the UI.
I quickly compared stock camera app and Gcam in night mode yesterday.
Stock camera app keeps shutter speed as high as possible (1/12 s) but ISO jump to 3200 and dark zones get very noisy.
Gcam keeps ISO under 640 and fixes shutter speed to 1/4 s, so noise is quite low but you have to be very carefull not to move or shake while taking the picture. But if your steady, the result is great !

Well, looks like Gcam will be my first install once the new modules arrive.

For daylight pictures, differences are not that obvious, stock camera is already good enough for me but I will really compare this week-end.
About Gcam, I think it is a bit more CPU intensive and I had a few freezes yesterday but I may be related to the different apps I tested, some of which crashed… So I must confirm also Gcam is as stable as expected. Or maybe another port would do better… We will see that when more users have a chance to test
I still have a huge complain about stock app : there is no way to control shutter speed, even in Pro mode. I would love to test stock app with Gcam parameters (shutter speed and ISO) to check if there is any magic algo in Gcam app or just optimized parameters.

I did. Curiously, I can only shoot night mode pictures in portrait orientation with that version. Each time I turn my phone into landscape mode, the display will switch back to portrait.
There are a lot of ports at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I had the same experience with the cstark port and now use one with google camera 7.4 and these builds are working (for me)
