It’s no secret that the biggest highlight of the Pixel was its camera prowess. Especially the HDR+ image processing technology that was sadly exclusive to the Pixel devices. But an XDA developer with B-S-G alias online ported Google Camera to work on some non-Pixel devices.
Specifically, those that have the Snapdragon 820, 821 or 835. That was a really interesting port since it gave non Pixel users control over HDR+. The next update for the port consisted of a Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) feature as well as more compatibility for OnePlus 3T.
Now, the same dev has released a new update that greatly improves the previous app.
The new update adds RAW image capture support. This feature can be found in the “Experimental” tab. Another new feature is HDR+ processing. The advantage here is you can select processing modes in a single application, instead of having different APKs. Also, simply installing the app won’t work, you will have to choose your own HDR+ settings.
New options in the HDR+ settings include HDR+ burst frame count, buffer size. The dev emphasizes that you will have to clear data if you are coming from a previous version. It is also stated that devices that lack Camera2 API support will not be able to run the new port.
