Search for the HedgeCam app. Small App Big Features. Open HedgeCam Settings, choose or click every menu item to drill down for more and more settings,

eg: HedgeCam Settings>HDR>Adjust Levels>Choose 1 of 4 options.

For GCam ports search: f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera or XDA Forums. Lots of ports per camera mfg and many are continually in development.

Due to the extreme Bloat of GCam as on the Pixel, I avoided that as the ports are usually MUCH smaller and customized and tested for different mfgs. But the free HedgeCam app does all I need, though I don't bother with night images with a tiny sensor "smart"phone other than as a record / snapshot.

OpenCamera app might also do this if you drill down through all the settings. I haven't looked at it for a while.

Thank you, Cariboo.

A helpful Fuji X forum participant sent me this link for my Moto One phone and others.

I found HedgeCam 2 and Open Camera (Mark Harman) in the Android store, but apparently a Gcam (often beta) must be downloaded from a separate website. Open Camera has a 4.1 rating, so I installed it. I like it! It's less fiddly than the standard Android camera. My phone allowed me to set Camera 2 API.
