Google makes the Gcam app for Stock Android OS, which can be found on the Pixel devices. If you want to use Google Camera, you can download it from the Play Store or any other sources. But the one in the Google Play Store won’t have full support for your OnePlus 5. It won’t have HDR+ mode, ZSL, Portrait Mode, Night Vision, Photo-sphere, Photobooth, Lens, Focus Effect, and Panorama.
So, to get access to all the Google Camera features on your OnePlus 5, you need to download and install the Gcam port.
HDR+ mode usually is for Google’s (Nexus or Pixel) devices. This mode is not like the normal HDR mode, which can be found on other devices. Samsung and HTC are using the same solution to improve the quality of their cameras.
So we are sharing some modified version of Google Camera APK having built-in HDR+ mode support, all thanks to the developers on XDA. The difference between stock and Google camera app on OnePlus 5 is quite significant. Google Camera comes up far better than Stock Camera in terms of picture quality. Check the comparison given below!

Hi. I have downloaded the v1.1 for my OnePlus 5.
I am facing an issue with it. The front and back camera doesn’t work in picture mode. The screen is all black. Whereas it starts working in video mode.
Yeah I’m having the same issue.. Video mode works, no picture on photo mode </3
