[APP][2.2.3+/3.2+/4.0+] Smart Selfie - Facial Recognition Voice Guidance

Smart selfie is a FREE voice-guided photography app that use facial recognition to help you take better selfies with the back camera of your phone by giving voice prompts on how to adjust the phone, such as moving it left, right, away, up, etc so that photo participants are well centered in your photos.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Latest Version is now 1.14. Some pretty exciting features added to make the app easier to use.
1.1.4
*Measure beta (Now gives the size of the movement for up, down, left, right.) *Measure beta now supports Eyeliner mode.
*New Camera settings added - Picture Quality and Picture Size.
*Crash fixes and optimization when taking photos.
*Moved to a new UI. Presets, Detection settings and Camera settings have been moved into the Action Bar and appear as icons.
*Minor bug fixes.

///////////////////////////////////
Normally, to use the better quality and higher resolution camera on the back of your phone to take selfies requires a lot guesswork as you cannot see front screen of your camera
You also need to clumsily click the screen to take the actual photo.
Smart selfie can identify one or multiple faces, then direct the user to move the phone position so that is is in the optimal position. It will then automatically take the photo once your camera is in position.
Another great advantage is not all android smart phones have a front camera so this app would be perfect for owners of such phones to take selfies.
Current selfie apps in the android market simply switch to the lower quality front camera as a default or they might have features that will take photos when your whistle or provide voice commands. This is a rather cumbersome way to take selfies. Some may have a library of cool photos filters and effects, but these do not actually assist in taking the actual photos.
At the time of writing ICS (4.0) is required for full functionality. With 4.0 you can automatically take photos and share them online via social networking sites or pass the photo to other apps for further enhancements.
The core functions will run at 3.2 or higher. The app will lack the ability to share photos if your OS is less than 4.0
For those running and OS between 2.2 and 3.1. You will get the full facial detection and voice guidance feature, however the photo must be taken manually once the camera is in position. (This may be changed in the future.)
Limitations of this version:
*5MP max image taken on back Camera (if your phone is capable of higher resolutions photos will be taken at 5MP)
*Detect Up to 4 people.
Requirements
Min Requirements CPU: 800mhz OS: 2.3+
Recommended Requirements CPU:Quad Core 1Ghz+ OS: 4.0+
Other Requirements: You device needs to have a back camera!!!!!!
///////////////////////////////////////////////
That aside at the moment the UI is a train-wreck, the core functionality seems to work well. Feel free to download the app, take a few selfies and provide feedback to see how it works on different devices.
In additional i would like you know how you feel about:
1) The voice guidance quality? This was taken from several recordings done on an android phone in relatively noisy conditions, I had all sort of background noises like light aeroplanes, garbage trucks, bird tweeting, clothes dryer, strong wind, traffic, and some paper rustling.
2) Do you think it app takes too long to take a selfie?
3) The limitations are they ok? This app allows better quality selfies even on new devices like Samsung galaxy 5, which sports a 2MP front camera.
4) Any other feedback/comments/tips?
Smart selfie Free is available on the google play store the package is

Happy Snapping !!!!

the settings should stay between taking multiple pictures & there should be some notification once the picture got taken/

Wait a min
Do you mean a front camera or what? (actually a back camera?)
Sorry but i didnt get the concept...

It did say "say cheese" and I got a picture, but no click, no "how lovely!" or other indication.
This thing is really ingenious, quite nifty, and did work even on my 600mhz single-core-clunker. Voice instructions were on the quiet side (could explain why some users missed them).
The UI could be more modern, but so simple and adequate as-is. But do make it persistent. And the option, at least, to automatically find the up-to four faces without need to ask, might be nice as well.
Selfies with only a rear camera? Got it :good:

You got a very interesting app. But it needs some pruning though. Can you put it in video mode, and user just angles the phone for a selfie, and your app takes a snap automatically when the faces are focussed. Since its a selfie, you know that the face has to be like 30% to 70% of screen area. User opens app, points the back camera at themselves, and tilts the phone in a few angles. You select the best shot automatically. Its just an idea. You would know better

additional suggestions,
apart from wat these people are saying as a suggestions, i have some of my own. but i tried this app and i find this great..only 2 aditional things:
voice guidance should be louder..and (if possible), have proper diction. i have trouble recognizing the voice guide on my phone because volume is a bit low. i tried to use an earphone while testing to take a selfie..and i had trouble when the command says "left" because the female voice's diction sounds like "lift". atleast put an option to adjust voice guide volume..or let it be controllable with volume buttons (you know which of the 2 is the best).
This app does ake decent shots after guiding you. But, please add adequate lighting sensor, or at least the ability for the voice guide to tell you to turn on flash if the lighting condition is low..something like that. i hope you get the idea.
that's all..this is an innovtive app..but as always, there's always room for improvement.

Awesome App
This app is awesome. It even works on 600 MHz phone. And selfies are great. But there should be a click sound to notify user that the picture has been taken. and moreover there should be option to delete the pic directly. Good job @hotspot_volcano :good:
Hope to see changes in next version.

Kill it! Kill it with fire!

Thanks for the feedback from starcallr and Dovidhalevi. I've implemented some of them.
Just released v1.08 after having a lot of fun getting Android v23 installed, took several hours installing and uninstalling after that to get things to compile once i figured out the missing files.
Anyway from the feedback I've made some changes.
*New detection feature: Added Face Zoom (Allows close-up, or further-away selfies.)
*Ability to change volume more easily.
*All settings remembered from previous session.
*Popup reminder showing settings shown at the start of each photo session.
*More audible photo capture sound. (The click is 10X louder now.) But I might replace the audio click with some voice prompt so it would be 3X louder still without sounding out-of place.
#to do list (over the next week)
*Unified settings. All settings appear together in one Alert Dialog. (15% done) Attached a quick layout.. tell me what you think.
*Flash available for low lighting (as for detection it may need a low light facial detection feature which may i may only put in the paid version)
*A delete feature to delete the just taken photo.
*Auto-detect orientation (25% done)
*Fix up app crash after you have successfully taken a photo on your default camera app when you try and return to Smart Selfie on Android OS 2.2 - 3.1
#planned tidbits (over then next year)
*5 or so detection features(paid version probably), most of these will need OpenCV. (The very first version of this app was in OpenCV + NDK)
*Augment Reality features, maybe hats, sunglasses, hair and stuff that would be visible on the screen and automatically placed on detected faces, and would appear in the final photo when taken
=============================
I have tested earlier versions in public places it and the audio is already boosted up ~15db on average. I did have a silly idea of a vibrate morse code which could be used in extremely noisy places. Something like a short + short vibrate for left, short + long vibrate for right. The vibrate wont affect detection as won't be detecting when the vibrations are occurring. But not going to give it a go for now. Flashlight style Flash to give directions might also work, if it doesn't give people epilepsy.
Use of a Bluetooth headset might also be possible for very noisy places.
The UI is old fashion, i've been away from Android a while so Holo Light is giving me serious grief. Thinking about using Action Bar to replace the missing menu and avoid the LGPLv3 HoloEverywhere library. When i do set minimum APK.. the layouts go half sized. Anyway I'd like to concentrate on features at this stage.
There are apps like mine on Windows phone and IOS and I'd like to be the most comprehensive selfie app out there.
As for not requiring to input the right amount of people at the start. The app at the moment will center the detected faces the ask the user to move the camera away to a certain point in hope that the missing people will appear in the screen eventually? If they don't then you get stuck in a loop. But i will consider an auto (at your own risk setting)

WAY better than the previous version/

Amazing App!!
Amazing app!! Lovin it so much!! but ui need to be updated.. Other than that it's a great app for selfie!!!! Really a great job!! @hotspot_volcano

Thanks guys the next version is going to be much better. I'm actually quite excited about the next version.
Having spent more time thinking about what to put in the next version, it will have:
*Beginners/Casual Mode (Balance Sensitivity). If you don't mind your face not being perfectly centered in the photo.You can take photos quickly with little hassle. Detected faces will always appear within the photo with no parts cropped off at the side or top of the photo no matter what setting sensitivity is selected.
You can crank it up or down depending on your selfie taking skills and you/your groups patience in taking the perfect selfie.
*A slight change to the voice guidance algorithm. Hopefully this will stop the left right loop if you start with the phone too close to your face. For best results at the moment always start with the phone about 1/2 meter from your face.
*Fix any settings that don't appear to be saved properly. (I'm getting some issues with Preview Size changes sometimes not saving as expected?)
*Delete photo feature option. (Complete, but just don't ask when Windows 7 RTPing you see the deleted ghost files on 4.4 builds?)
*Unified settings. (getting there)
*Increased volume? Most recordings was set to 90% loudness. I'll experimental with increasing them to 100%. Anyway for noisy places I highly recommended using a portable Bluetooth speaker ones that are small enough to be slipped into your pocket.
My flagship test device is the Moto G which is one of the loudest android phones in the market. With speakers pumping out ~87 dB. Most of the commands was fairly audible even in packed and noisy food-court using the default speakers found on back of the phone.

Thanks for the great feedback guys.. Made a few changes in the most recent update. Plus a few more sites decided to showcase my app taking my app over 1000 downloads, and getting myself a small amount of people to test my app to make sure it works and all.
I'm planning a media launch soon as the app is nearly getting there. Have to rewrite my promotional material which was based on the very first version.
The paid version is no where is sight. The free version features that need to be sorted and taking up a lot of time.
The next update is going to be fairly exciting. These are the planned changes.
*An amazing useability feature that makes taking selfies even easier. It will be available on the free version because it would be probably make the free version cripple-wear if i just added it to the paid version. :angel:
*Auto-detect orientation (Yes this got pushed back.. working on it)
*Flash available for low lighting (Yes this got pushed back.. working on it)
*Attempt to fix submitted bug reports.
*UI (Holo light UI - no guarantees which means probably not :silly
*Continue to update the website so people can just use google translate to read the HELP and TUTORIAL notes in their preferred language.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
binu.udaya;54334510. Can you put it in video mode said:
I'm not too familiar with the hardware side of android as far as video mode is concerned, but i was always under the impression you would get lower resolutions under video mode. Moving the camera while taking a photo will cause motion blur.
Well there are already apps out there that do this.I though they just took 3 shots in quick succession. I could probably add such a feature, but i think the photo is pretty accurate. Especially on the higher settings of Face Balance.
Just to give you idea how accurate the balance is. Just say are taking a portrait photo. Your 4.5" screen displays has a preview image that is 5cm across on the screen. If the gap between the face and the left-side of the picture is 1.5cm then the right-hand side gap between the face and the right-side of the picture can not have a difference more than 0.225cm.
I don't know how many people can get a selfie balanced to 1/4 of a cm by looking at their screen. I'm more surprised if they can get that accuracy without looking it and not get any voice guidance.
FYI the v1.08 fixed settings would have required a difference less than 0.3cm based on the above criteria. So if you managed to get a few snaps off at on the v1.08 thats how well balanced your photos are.
That is why i added the Balance sensitivity, the crazy accuracy is not required in all situations. Takes a few dozen shots before you built up the experience to take photos at that level.

1.1.3 is an amazing new update!!!!!! Manage to squeeze in a bunch of features.
Finally manage to roll out the amazing useability feature Measure. Which provides a size of the movement in addition to the direction. Unfortunately i didn't really have to the time to extend the feature to up and down.
*Presets now available. Pick and choose different presets such as using a selfie stick; propping your camera against say a book then you walk away, photos are taken automatically when your in position; taking photos from different angles such as the Baby face selfie where the camera angle gives the illusion of bigger eyes.
*Eyeliner. Allows the vertical alignment of eyes in your photo. Gives a much larger variety of selfies you can take now.
*Voice Guidance speed is now adjustable. Set it faster if your more experience in using the app or lower if your new or English is not your first language.
*Website updated. All help information is available online and translatable into your preferred language. Link added to Playstore and accessible in app.
Whats in the next version?
*Crash bug fixed hopefully. Be focusing on why there are crashes when photos are taken. Made several changes already.
*Continue to work on Measure (UP,DOWN).. will also look at Measure( closer and away)
*Pickable Photo capture resolution.
*Pickable white Balance Mode (Maybe)
*Holo Light GUI (I'll take a look.. lol)
If you haven't already please try out Smart Selfie v1.1.3 and tell me what you think now?

v 1.14 took a bit longer than my general 7 day for an update but its finally here. Holo-Layout. Some people have been asking for it since v1.03
Forcing low resolution setting on high resolution devices was a MAJOR HEADACHE. Its still has a minor bug with half-sized screen randomly appearing but that's been around since v1.03. While i just moved to Holo layout, I don't want to know anything about Android L.
Lets take a look at our planned updates for v1.1.4 and what was done.
*Continue to work on Measure (UP,DOWN).. Measure Closer and Away (No plans for now)
*Pickable Photo capture resolution.
*Holo Light GUI (I'll take a look.. lol) - Seems Action tool bar works well for all versions of supported android.
*Crash bug fixed hopefully. Be focusing on why there are crashes when photos are taken. Made several changes already. Unfortunately once i started the UI I stopped working on crash fixes so more to come.
v 1.1.5 planned features
*Pickable white Balance Mode (soon i hope)
*A Custom Share Intent. Will be better than the stock one which may have problems with setting a default ShareIntent.
*Revisit and review code that may cause crashing when taking photos.
*In-app volume that does not change your current volume setting (ie not get blasted by the noise from other apps you run after smart selfie)
*General house-tidying of text strings in the app. One step towards the NOT planned in-app multi-language support.
*Creation of shared libraries. So that the paid version can re-branched.
*Small fixes to the UI where deemed necessary.
*Some sort of auto-orientation feature.
EDIT: Managed to get my hands on a LG P500 512 MB RAM, 3.2MP, 600mhz. Updated the rom to 4.04 onto it. Manage to take a photo without crashing though it took a while to show the photo.
The background wallpaper kind of leaks through into the app but i think its just the Rom.
If anyone have a device with 256mb ram try testing it and see if it causes any crashing (due to the lack of memory)

The best working GCam for MOTO G7 Power

I have tested many of the GCam apps available from the Google Camera Port hub here
The best working one for my Moto G7 Power XT1955-4 is the GCam MOD from the developer arthur.
Test the different settings to choose what is working best for you, especially you can dig in the Advanced settings.
For example you can:
- use the H.265/HEVC format for video;
- get a RAW+JPEG control on your main screen
- get HDR+ (HDR+ and HDR+ enhaced)
- get a Night Sight shortcut for night shooting on the main camera view
- adjust many noise reduction parameters
- change and test the AWB (Default, Pixel 2, Pixel 3)
-change the JPEG quality 90%, 95%, 97% and 100%
- change the HDR+ Enhanced frames: Default=8, Medium=14, High=18, Very high=24
and many more!
You can download the latest version of the GCam back.rider apk from here
Other versions made from other developers can be downloaded from Google Camera Port hub
---
EDIT August 2020:
From some time I'm using GCam modifications made from Parrot043, it was working pretty well with Android 9 before, and now with Adnroid 10 after I upgraded my Moto G7 Power to Q.
Strongly recommend you to test the Parrot043 GCam modification
If you still use Android 9, than you need GCam version 7.0.x
If you are with Android 10, then version 7.3.x or bigger is for your OS

@lubo777 can you please tell me exact settings you have as i dont really have a clue. Just need it for good pictures and portrait mode. Thanks in advance

I recommend to test NOT the latest GCam MOD from back.rider version 1.3a but a bit older version which have better picture details and less noise GCam 2.6a
This was reported on the XDA page of the GCam MOD and I can confirm it.
Bellow are the settings I use: see the attachment.

If you like to install multiple versions of a GCam and test the differences you can do that easy with App Cloner app - for example you can install the latest GCam 1.3a and the older 2.6a and see the difference

Appreciate your help. Thanks mate

So what did anybody figure out? I'm using the latest by Sanity. I can never tell the difference between any of them other than the HDR rendering taking longer or shorter.

Thanks for the advice. Can anyone recommend a way to launch GCam using the default twisting moto-action? It's possible to do once the phone is unlocked, but a locked phone always launches the stock camera app.
I'm also looking for a way to save from GCam to an external sd card. The best way seems to be through using a Tasker (or similar) profile to automate moving photos over, then deleting from inboard storage. There's a GCam Tools app that replicates this behavior, but seems a bit buggy.
Cheers

There is a new version of the GCam MOD GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.apk which have the best results according to few tests below ...
Bellow are some day shooting examples with HDR+ and no HDR+ made with the latest version 1 of the GCam, the previous one 1.3a and version 6.1.021_N7P_test2.6a of the GCam MOD from back.rider555 made with MOTO G7 Power
My personal opinion is that the latest version is the best one according to AWB and details!

Thank you for the detailed testing and posting your photo samples. That's the most thorough I've seen yet. Personally, I feel the NO HDR+ image taken with the GCam-6-2-024-N7-P-test1-3a looked the best. Not by much, but marginally. The G7 Power images seem to have a very shallow dynamic range and the HDR+ photos from each version seems to blow out the highlights (see lower right hand corner grassy area where there is direct sunshine) more than the NO HDR+ samples. I would have expected the opposite, with the HDR photos preserving more shadow detail while taming the highlights, but the blades of grass in the NO HDR+ samples are more clearly defined.

Yesterday I discovered that I have some problems with the Focus on my MOTO G7 Power with the latest version. I don't now if there is such a problem with Nokia 7 Plus camera, probably the problem is Moto camera hardware specific ...
The problem is that in wide scenes (not closeup) in Camera Mode the focus is 100% NOT correct where I have tapped on the screen ...
In Portrait Mode everything is OK with the Focus ... very strange.
On closeup scenes the Focus is much better in Camera and Photo modes, as you can see bellow.
On all pictures the Focus is on the strawberry.
Camera mode NO HDR
Camera mode HDR+
Camera mode HDR+ enchanced
Portrait mode NO HDR+
Portrait mode HDR+
Portrait mode HDR+ enhanced
Night Sight
Night Sight

I have tested A LOT of the different GCAM Mod's and definitely 100% the best one working with all possibilities is the GCAM Mod from arthur
What in this GCAM MOD is especially useful for me:
1. The possibility to save Pictures / Video on external SD Card
2. Back and front Camera possibility to fine tune the "Noise suppression" the "Black level adjustment" and "Saturation"
3. To save Portrait pictures in the same folder with all other folders (by default GCAM saves each Portrait image in a different folder )
4. Burst mode - working perfect!!!
5. Slow motion mode
6. Exposure control features
7. Manual Focus options - especially to have focus slider on the camera screen
8. Zoom Noise suppression
9. Video Bitrate change
10. Developer Settings
In this Mode there is no Night Sight link / menu - you get perfectly working Night Sight feature on the main Camera screen in HDR+ enchanced
Below are few pictures made with this mod at night and day

I have the same problem with that version not being able to save to the SD card. Maybe a permissions issue.
Interestingly, the main features of the app properly display, for me, in English. But, the error message items are in cirillic....

I have found another GCam MOD which have much more Camera Extended settings and is the best working for me.
I'm testing it on my phone for few days and have to say that this GCam MOD have everything I need as a fine tinning functionality.

General GCAM for A52 4G/5G

Hello guys
The BSG versions of the Gcam mod works really stable on our device. But there aren't optimized configs available, so the colors do need to get a little bit tweaked. In the newest versions, it's possible to save and load configs. So it would be nice if we can test some settings out. I also tried it, so you can use it as a base if you want.
Some notes about the changes:
SlibP Custom lib
some settings in "Additional modules settings" (much more to try out there, that's the main place to play around)
activated instantaneous hdr+ enhanced (hdr+ enhanced but without loading time [ZSL], but viewfinder lags a little bit while rendering the final image because of the phone's performance)
Location to place config file: \Download\MGC.8.1.101_Configs
Used Gcam version: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl16/
There is also a thread for the A52 5G. Because both devices use the same cameras, it would be great to have one place to tinker.

Which is the apk I have to download? Why are there so many options?
Is it OK to download the fist one?

Wierd, the Samsung cam has way more HDR.

Some manufacturers only give access to the cameras for specific package names. With the Samsung ones, you should be on the safe side. You can also install different versions with different names to make tests

Try to disable "instantaneous hdr+ enhanced" and make sure hdr+ enhanced is activated. I think the google stock libs are a little bit brighter, so it should also look more like HDR. There's also a setting to change how many pictures are combined for a HDR+ image, try to increase the value. For me, too much of an HDR effect makes the image unnatural

Do the app always need to restart everytime changing lense ? And I got weird flashes on screen while trying to take a picture.

I actually agree that Samsung's pictures look better (as in more accurate to real life) when in bright conditions. GCam has slightly lower noise, but no matter what HDR mode I choose, Samsung still has better HDR and the picture looks brighter overall. GCam's night mode is much better, though.

First one is Samsung, second is Gcam. Samsung's colours are closer to life. Keep in mind that the houses are brightly lit, as this was taken in the morning and they're facing East. For example the flowers in the pot in the balcony of the left house look very bright and vivid IRL. (The sharpness of the shadows near the roof is likely due to clouds moving)

First one is Samsungs, second is Gcam HDR+, third is Gcam HDR+ Enhanced

Both Gcam HDR+ Enhanced (7 or 15 frames doesn't do much), but first one with Google's AWB (like the previous ones), second one without. The second one looks much better, but a little over-saturated. One thing I did notice in the configs is that the AWB is set for a Sony IMX686 sensor, which I don't know if it is correct. I've been unable to find details on the sensor used in the A52. In any case, It seems that the takeaway here is to keep Google's AWB off.

I actually agree that Samsung's pictures look better (as in more accurate to real life) when in bright conditions. GCam has slightly lower noise, but no matter what HDR mode I choose, Samsung still has better HDR and the picture looks brighter overall. GCam's night mode is much better, though.

Thanks for the testing. I can confirm that the brightness and colors are not quite good yet. But almost everything should be adjustable. So we still have to test a bit. The sensor I got from gsmarena.com, but is just a guess from them. By default, Pixel2 would be active, which is certainly not correct, but also worked.
Brightness correction: Additional modules settings > Lens x > Exposure compensation
saturation: Additional modules settings > Lens x > Ram Patcher > Saturation (off means it gets the variables from the lib, there are also other nice settings there to create our own lib)

When can we expect a stable optimized and stable gcam for our device. Will you please try contacting gcam developers personally? And also, please drop a link of the gcam you think to be the best one till now.

BSG is only in a Russian forum active. Arnova8G2 also makes good builds, but he only enables the app for the phones he has enough testers. We could ask him here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-arnova8g2s-google-camera-port.3862448/

Device name: Galaxy A52
Can we get a port for Galaxy A52 4G please?

fix choppy/stuck wide angle and front camera by going into additional settings and changing camera2API level to Level3.. scan3d works fine. but pictures are dark, something with whitebalance

phoberus' config crashes my GCam viewfinder. I can't test the actual image quality yet since it's the middle of the night here as I'm posting this message.​

So I tried Nikita's version, in terms of Color and HDR (default) it's the closest to the default camera app. I'm still playing around with the settings, so pictures to follow.

So, M51 has a similar camera setup with A52 so I thought I'd use a GCAM version from the M51 GCAM thread. Just testing Night mode and it's very clear that GCAM (right) works better. I'll edit this post to include more samples later.

Any version of GCAM I tried works better in night mode than the default camera. The problems I have is with in brightly lit scenes.

I actually tried a version of Greatness' GCAM and produced better daytime pictures, color was somewhat natural but it had better details (not noise). Unfortunately, I can't get the wide-angle lens and videos to work so I scrapped it.
I honestly don't mind the issues regarding color/hdr issues since a quick application of a vibrance filter is almost indistinguishable from the default cam. I mean it could be what the default samsung camera app is doing.
Edit: Also strange thing, low light (outdoor dusk scenario) and I get plenty of noise on GCAM compared to the default cam.

Question GCam for Exynos

After some searching I found a reliable version of GCam for Exynos.
It was posted over here https://www.sammyfans.com/2022/05/22/download-gcam-mod-for-samsung-phones/
I tried Shamim versions before but I had problems where the phone froze after importing settings files.
I did freeze after switching from camera to video, portrait, ...
The version in the link above is v13, when I import the accompanying xml file everything keeps working and I can see images on all zoom positions for camera and video.
But I still get 2X ad 4X zoom instead off 3X and 10X. Does anybody know what to change in the settings to get those zoom values.
The config also works with V21 of shamim but then I do not have an image for all zoom positions on camera and video.
So if somebody has a working config for V21 on an Exynos, please post it.

After some experimenting I have the 3x and 10x telephoto working.
I can also takes pictures at 3x and 10x telephoto because the display show what I'm abut to photograph but the quality of the picture is not OK.
First of all the 3x and 10x telephoto.
This is just a matter of labels as the 3x and 10x work.
Go to settings - Additional settings - Auxiliary Cameras - Name for camera modules
enable names for aux lenses
set telephoto lens to 3x and ID4 lens to 10x
Second, show display at camera 1x, 3x and 10x
Go to settings - Advanced - Model Interface
For all the camera set the Pixel 3 (blueline) instead of Pixel 2 XL (taimen)
These settings may be saved in the profile files I found but then they are not loaded when importing. It's also possible they are not saved when saving the settings. But this is the way to overcoe this for these settings.
Now the quality, video is ok, no banding but pictures are not, see included example, i tried a lot of settings but I do not get it right.
The pictures keep on having banding, if somebody can help me with that?

Thank you for posting the installation link!
I'm having the same issue as you - but I think that everything worked well without banding until I changed something, I think it was a noise reduction parameter. Now, even a reinstallation doesn't fix that.
Anyone have an idea whether (and where) this GCam stores its configs?

I do not know what version you are using but with Shamim
Settings - Additional Settings you can find Config Setting.
There you can import and save the settings, I do not think there is an autosave.
But I'm not sure if all the settings are saved as I said previously.
BY the way I also tried another version (one that used to work with my S9) and that versions also did give banding although with the S9+ it worked correctly.

Thanks a lot, this solves the problem

And yest another question.
With the Samsung camera you can switch to 3x and 10 when recording a video.
Is this possible with GCAM?
Anyway when you are at video and you swith to another zoom mode (1x 3x or 10x) you switch automatically back to Camera, can this be avoided?

After changing some settings I can use the version of Shamim (8.4.400 v21) for gcam.
But now I want to enable motion photos, whenever I do that, the app shuts down immediately.
Is there a combination of settings so that one can use motion photos?

In the beginning I tried to import xml files but this does not always work.
Sometimes the ettings are not loaded and when they are loaded the gcam freezes if I want to change from camera to video.
I wonder if one of the following has correct settings so motion photo will work.
Did anyone try the?The files attached are
gcam84-configs22s.xml which I found at https://www.sammyfans.com/2022/05/22/download-gcam-mod-for-samsung-phones/
and Shamin_Exynos22.xml which I found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam.4406301/page-6#post-86807279
and if so what about motion photo?

For the latest Shamin mod (nned some tune on UW) :

No success.
After loading your xml flle and turning HDR off, taking a picture and the app quits.
Restarting thereafter makes the app close down after a few seconds.
I did not even have the opportunity to try motion photo.

Why turned the hdr off?

Can you take a motion phot with hdr on , I thought it must be off.

Is there a way to get photosphere working? When I switch to it, I get a black screen and nothing happens.

On this version Photosphere works on my S22Ultra exynos :
MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix_ruler.apk

Thank you, it does work. Sadly it can't take normal photos.
Now we need someone to combine the two. Hopefully future versions will achieve that.

I've seen there is a Shamim version v24 from 2022-06-17.
Does anybody succeed in using this version.
If I open it and go to settings - advanced - model interface
and change the front lens / main lens / tele lens / wide lens / ID4 lens to the Pixel 3 (Blueline) interface the gcam will not crash anymore.
But in camera mode the display is green although the photos are taken without the green effect..
Settings - additional settings - few stuffs and more -
If I enable Motion Photo over there the app will still stop working.
Anybody more success?

Man, Exynos sucks with GCam. Every year there's a new problem. I received my S22U earlier today and only the Shamim port somewhat works. With AGC I get the ugly rainbow thing. Same with LMC.
I don't get it, wasn't Google Pixel 6's Tensor supposed to be like Exynos? Why is it so hard to get 8.4 working on our Exynos phones?
Edit: managed to get LMC 8.4 R11 working. Unfortunately pics taken by the tele are noisy and there are no manual noise model settings in this port. The list of noise models doesn't have the IMX754 either.
But at least Night Sight works. Couldn't get it to work in Shamim build.
I am attaching a zip with the LMC 8.4 R11 .apk and my config file. It's meant to be a baseline xml config, feel free to adjust the patcher parameters to your liking.
Note: the Leica mode must be enabled, otherwise you'll get rainbow pictures

This works perfectly , most important thing for me is the Astrophotography mode and a manual control over it .

Hello, fellow Exynos S22U users.
AGC v9 was released earlier today! Unfortunately it doesn't work "out of the box". I found a way to fix it though. Hopefully in future versions, doing this won't be necessary
Note: You have to be extremely quick with this. AGC crashes 1-2 seconds after opening, so you gotta be fast.
First of all, download the .zip file attached to this post. Inside the zip is the apk file and the .agc config. Install the .apk and then put the AGCV9-S22UEXYNOS .agc file in Download/AGC 8.4/configs folder.
After opening the app, IMMEDIATELY tap on the 1.7x button and then try to tap on 16.9x. It will most likely take a few attempts to get it right, but don't give up!
if you successfully managed to tap on 16.9x in time, you will notice the app will stay open longer which will give you enough time to load my .agc file (credit goes to @beserker15 for the original AGC V7 Snapdragon config file)
after all that, the app should work (for the most part).
Things to know:
- The camera labels are wrong (obviously). 1.7x is main, 1.0x is Ultra Wide, 4.9x is Telephoto and 16.9 is Super Tele.
- When using HDR+ Enhanced on Tele Lenses ALL CAMERAS, app will crash. Normal HDR+ works, though!
- Taking pictures in Automatic Night Sight will cause a crash, so I disabled Auto Night Sight setting.
- Leica mode MUST BE ENABLED at all times, otherwise you will get rainbow pics.
I think that'll be all for today, I gotta let my phone cool down haha.

Hello everyone! It took us a while but A73 finally got some development done and is ready for GSI or ROM usage. Both of which has it's own problems. Mainly camera quality. Samsung being samsung and qualcomm being qualcomm, we don't have full access to cameras in 3rd party apps so if we go outside samsung's ecosystem, our camera quality suffers. Patrick from A73 Photography telegram group started publishing libraries and config files for gcam. He gave me permission to repost it here so I'll keep this thread updated as he updates his configs.
For anyone who is out of touch, Google Camera is the camera app of Google Pixel phones. Over the years people modded and ported this app to take advantage of many configurations being done in the background. There are dozens of developers and forks of this app but I'll focus on the versions that we have config for in this thread. Currently we have configs for LMC by hasli, AGC by BigKaka, MGC by BSG and SGCAM by Shamim.​
Not sure which one to pick?
You probably want most recent LMC.

How to use?
Spoiler: AGC
- Move the files to your phone.
- Install AGC apk.
- Click "More settings" from settings top left.
- Allow file access permission.
- Click "Load Configs" from settings on top left.
- It should give you the location for configs. Default is /sdcard/Download/AGC.8.8/configs/
- Move .agc file to Download/AGC.8.8/configs/ folder. If "configs" folder doesn't exist, create it yourself.
- Now click "Load Configs" again and you should see our config. Click load.
- Navigate to "More settings > Lens Settings > Main (1.0x) > Noise Model > Import Noise Model"
- Find .c file that you placed on your phone via pop up. Noise Model now should say GalaxyA73_S5KHM6_0_noise.c
There is a video in our telegram channel if you couldn't find the right menus.
Spoiler: LMC
- Move the files to your phone.
- Create a folder called LMC8.4 in your main storage.
- Create a folder called LIBS in LMC8.4 folder.
- Move .xml file to LMC8.4 folder.
- Move .so file to LMC8.4/LIBS folder.
- Install and open LMC app.
- Double click the empty spot between gallery and shutter buttons.
- Select CMR config and click import.
- After it is done do it again (config is too large for a single pass, this makes sure every value is used)
Spoiler: SGCAM
- Move the files to your phone.
- Create a folder called SGCAM in your main storage.
- Create a folder called LIB in SGCAM folder.
- Create a folder called XML in SGCAM folder.
- Move .xml file to SGCAM/XML folder.
- Move .so file to SGCAM/LIB folder.
- Install and open SGCAM app.
- Double click the empty spot between camera rotation and shutter buttons.
- Select CMR config and click import.
Keep in mind that name of .xml and .so file in this thread is subject to change but installation will be the same. If you suspect your quality is not as good please make sure to check if library file is loaded or not. 3rd video down below shows you how to do that in LMC.
Spoiler: Upscaling Guide (up to 164mp)
Actual photo taken by any gcam is always going to be 12mp like all other 3rd party camera apps. However with the power of upscaling you can get photos up to 164mp. Some of the configs in this thread has it set to 20mp while newer ones have it disabled. You can still enable and set it to whatever value you desire. However beware, this adds extra processing time so if you are in a hurry and require a few fast clean shots it might not be worth it. Here is a step by step guide for LMC:
-open settings
-navigate to processing functions > upscale / downscale
-flip the first switch on
-click main camera and set it's value, you can use this cheat sheet:
x1.0 for 12mp (3000x4000 (4:3))​x1.4 for 24mp (4200x5600 (4:3))​x1.6 for 31mp (4800x6400 (4:3))​x2.0 for 48mp (6000x8000 (4:3))​x2.3 for 63mp (6900x9200 (4:3))​x2.4 for 69mp (7200x9600 (4:3))​x2.5 for 75mp (7500x10000 (4:3))​x3.0 for 108mp (9000x12000 (4:3))​x10.0 for 164mp (11100x14800 (4:3))​-click front camera and set it's value, heres cheat sheet for front cam:
x1.0 for 8mp (2448x3264 (4:3))​x1.4 for 16mp (3426x4568 (4:3))​x2.0 for 32mp (4896x6528 (4:3))​x2.5 for 50mp (6120x8160 (4:3))​x3.0 for 72mp (7344x9792 (4:3))​x10.0 for 109mp (9056x12076 (4:3))​
In some configs we have upscaling shortcut assigned to long pressing camera change button so try if it's there. If it's not you can set it by choosing Upscale from Processing functions > Viewfinder settings > Long tap on Change front camera.

This is huge! It's been a long time since I used a good Gcam on my non-pixel phones. Back in the days of the first Gen Nokia 6, I was shooting like a Pro with a well-optimized version of Gcam. Later on, I wasn't getting proper versions on other devices. Now, the thing I hate about Samsung phones is, image processing got FIXED with this! I'm so much happy about that!
Waiting for more
Thank you so much for the development!!

is this for rooted phone only?

tested on non root device , it work, thank you very much

It depends on the mode you're using tbh. But here are some stuff you could do.
-HDRnet usually comes off darker than usual. To fix it you can go to settings > processing functions > exposure compenstation and hdr > main camera. Default value in reworked config is -0,4, you can change it to 0 or 0,5 to get brighter results with this mode. This doesnt affect the quality at all.
-You can also use the iso slider but iso slider only works when you enable hdr enhanced mode from top down menu. To get that option make sure HDR+net is disabled from left side then you can pick HDR mode from top menu. Only downside of this is that shutter time increases when you select hdr enhanced mode. This is great for low light situations usually.
-You can focus once by touching an object then use the exposure slider that shows up from right side. You can just max the slider out and picture comes out just as good. This is how I use it. From my experience in a well lit room samsung cam uses 500-800-1000 iso values, lmc with most of the configs in this thread uses around 200-400 iso. When you max out the exposure slider from right it increases to around 1000. Only downside of this is that light sources ruins the shot but also you usually don't point the cam at light bulb or sun so...

Thanks, that works for me

I used lmc17 and it work but capture is too slow, it is like using capture by 108mp and reduce size, have anybody better?

Night sight and HDR+ Enhanced increases shutter time to capture more details, if you want faster shots you shouldn't use these 2 modes. You can follow these 2 screenshots to shorten your post processing time however there's nothing you can do about 108mp (upscaling). It'll always increase your post processing time but you could reduce photo sizes by going into settings > LMC Tweaks > JPG Quality. Setting it anything below 90 will cut it's size couple of mbs but going anything below 80 also introduces artifacts to your pictures so it's a double edged sword.

After 1 day of use, I have some comparisons between gcam (LMC R17 REWORK) and the original camera of the device:
- Stock camera faster: if remove hdr + rnet gcam fast too but capture and zoom in photo, it is too noisy so I think with gcam we need keep hdr + rnet to make better quality when compare with stock camera. gcam slow to safe photo but we can capture many photos during save, not big problem with me.
- Stock camera's photo is brighter: we can reduce it by go to settings > processing functions > exposure compenstation and hdr > main camera , I change all to 3.2 and it nearly same stock camera.
- Color and detail of gcam's photo is better with landscape photography with hdr + rnet mode: Landscape photography is good, but when it comes to people, the stock camera is better, if it can identify the context, the system camera pushes the color up very flattering (to me, it's beautiful, suitable for sharing the network, although the details are very flat).
- Backlit photography is better with Gcam: lighter, more detail, photo from the stock camera with a black face.
I think we can use both and match for the best result
