TRIPLE BOUNTY THREAD :: S9 Exynos version only google camera development

Bounty Thread :: for google camera s9 (exynos version ) with pixel 2 xl as model and pixel 2017 as processing parameter with both front and back hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced working along with potrait mode.
With superb camera hardware of s9 we could make it a superb camera phone, surely better than all of its rival:fingers-crossed:

Bounty 2 and 3 is very very highly to zero chance of happening as you need samsung proprietary code to do so. Even charles chow cannot get his nexus 5x and 6p gcam port to work on non human faces.

Brother first thing is this nexus 6p and nexus 5x doesnot have dual pixel hardware needed to support for potrait mode like pixel 2. I hope you got your answer. Without hardware support you cannot make a software to execute

I understand that but there are many other devices out there that have dual pixel but cannot work already. Those devices are cheaper and easier to work on than our s9+ regardless if it's exynos or snapdragon, but no one has been able to reverse engineer google's codes.

That is true also. Fingers cross

I'll contribute $20 for the first one as long as zsl is working.
Edit: canceled as of 9/5/18, I'm selling my S9 to get the OP6T

may be looping in gcam developers will help here i guess..

please adress the flash issue, can't take a picture with flash, there's a lag between the shutter and the flash.
I'm in with 20 bucks.
I've instaled the GCam and followed the sugestion of the user drexxie1962:
"Settings:
Model: Pixel 2XL
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Hdr+Auto
HDR+ parameters: Super High
Final jpg quality HDR+: 100%
Developer settings, checked camera.faceboxes"

Huge mistake, had to factory reset the phone. So there's that, beware when using the GCam for exynos as its seats.
Count me in with mine 20$

If the developers could implement this, portrait mode will be perfect?

Why it would be needed ?? All things works on s7 and s8 exynos , only s9 exynos version is not supporting pixel 2 zls and potrait mode on front camera otherwise potrait on rear works ( although laggy). Why do we need image segmentation like thing. Its pretty basic and has not been implemented yet so would be a very difficult and lengthy procedure for a dev.
If a thing is required is usage of dual pixel technology. As this will give power of potrait shootings on non- face subjects

not more people interested ?

Myself also not understanding why people are not showing interest and also not developer too. As s9 is a very popular device why is this happening. Really frustrating

No idea, when you edit your first post you can't change title as well ? Then maybe only a moderator can.

Guys great news. I was able to run pixel 2 as model and pixel 2016 zls as processing settings. I dont know what triggered it. But results were awesome much better than nexus 6 as model. But now its not running and keeps force closing even after several tries. I ran it on v3.4a of cstark27. Lets hope somebody will figure it out how it got run. Also news for front camera hdr+

Has anyone got any good news??very said that it is taking so much long for our devices. If possible somebody please reach miiniuser123 as he can do miracles for us just like he did for other exynos based samsung devices:fingers-crossed:

Night mode with the Pixel 3 Gcam port samples ! Wow

The night mode with the Gcam port in this phone is amazing!
The moto z3 play has a great camera but the Moto stock processing when you are taking pictures is a really bad but with this Gcam port is another thing! It was very Dark by the way.:good:
Check the samples below!

Which version of gcam are you using? I am using GS9_GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.20_R4X.apk and it is the best one I have tested.

I'm using this

gcam on Honor 8x?

Hey everyone.. why there is no update on gcam in Honor 8x device.. as every Mobile supporting gcam why not in Honor???

Good question I tried many ports from other topics and nothing work proper on our phone

I have not found any update since long.

Did you tried doing factory default settings

There are many shared but one or the other function in GCAM not working on our phones.

I think no XDA Developer is interested to develop or porting GCam for Honor Devices.
All people love only Snapdragon or Exynos or MediaTek..
Nobody interested in Kirin..
Even check reviews on YouTube all reviewers hate and criticize Honor Devices...
I think why I purchased Honor 8x?
Though it's stock camera is good in day light.
Front camera edge detection is poor.
And low light is bad ass.

I don't know what...
But given link camera works on Honor 8x..
Only one issue
Portrait mode not working.

hi , is there any Gcam mod for Honor 8 Lite that can record in 60fps?

Gcam on Honor 8x and Huawei Y9 2019
I have found these two gcam apps. I am not taking any credit what so ever.
Just sharing it.
Both works for me on Y9 2019.
Dont need any extra setting. Just aim and shoot.

Refocusing Bokeh Image

Hey guys, I purchased find x2 pro for 1200 euro few days ago and I noticed there isn't any refocusing bokeh image feature after taking the photo same as my Xiaomi mi 8 which costs 280 euro. Did I miss something?

Apparently you're not missing anything, this is one of the useful features that are missing in the Find X2 Pro.
I like it on my S9+, with the bokeh being artificial, you can edit the strength of the effect (and even the subject in focus) after taking the photo.
It's not possible in X2 Pro.

Hey, thanks a lot for your response : ) It's very frustrating. Is here the main OPPO FIND X2 PRO forum? Are there any developers here to reply to posts as well? Is there any features requests section or any roadmap?
I also noticed another lack of feature, double tap to turn off the screen. This simple feature not exists, however, I added it by installing an app. But really, an app for this simple function on 1200 euro handset?!

Question GCam for Xperia 5 III?

Ive always wanted to try GCam and see if its all the hype it says it is.
Is there a modded version out for the Xperia 5 III? Thanks

None of previous Xperia (for the last 3 generations at least) flagship smartphone had working Gcam. Suggest this one will be no different.

bruh how is that even possible

I've been playing with one on my 5 ii, and the results are pretty good. Not as great as I expected, but that doesn't surprise me. The Sony hardware is not optimized to work with the software, and you could probably tweak the algorithms to make it work better with the Sony hardware. But, I don't have time to tweak the hundreds of settings in the GCAM mods to see what works best.

Where you have:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
It's not close to perfect, but it works on all 3 rear cameras.
Night mode doesn't work very well because Sony only exposes expores up to 1s for external apps, and the GCam crashes when tries to use more than 1s to capture more light.

Sorry, for that.
This site is a place where most of GCam mods are posted, for multiple devices and from multiple Devs, instead of even sketchier telegram groups.

The biggest difference I can see, is in low light scenes, the google camera takes much better photos, and removes almost all the noise without losing to much detail.
In cases that the Xperia Camera clips the background, the Gcam resolves some detail in the clouds for example.
Overall I don't recommend it.
- Auto focus is it or miss.
- Touch to focus freezes the viewport.
- Video recording doesn't work.
- Selfie camera doesn't work because Sony uses a cheap Samsung sensor.
- Night mode doesn't work properly because Sony doesn't expose all the camera API properties.
- Out of the box the photos are a bit under saturated.
The diferent versions don't make any diffence in the case of the Xperia 5 III, that I know off.
Im my hold phone I needed a camera with a specific name to allow the google camera to access all the camera features in original ROM. More or less what sony does with the creator' color profile for specific apps.

and again.... which version u using....therea6 different.!
i tried the first 3 from the list and i don't like there results at all.!

I'm using rev X of the one ending in MGC. It runs okay. A little sluggish, but I don't have crashes. I did find a profile on the web and loaded it. GCAM on the Xperia cameras is a tool, but not a perfect one. I've learned from experimentation what areas it does well and what times it doesn't. I find it hard to say if it's better or worse than the stock app because it is situation dependent. If you're looking for something that you can replace the stock app with, your expectations will not be met. However, if you're looking for an app that does better in many low light situations where you have to shoot handheld, then it will give you capability you don't have with the stock app.

Disagree with X 5 III taking better photos than Pixel 5. I wish it was true so then it would be no need in Gcam. X 5 III takes good enough photos in perfect light conditions only. That's just my experience (with X 1 III though).

I don't like the quality output straight out of camera. Photos come out underexposed, out of focus, lack of clarity and lack of HDR too often.

This is exactly what I did! I 'm really happy that I was able to get rid of that overpriced, overhyped device. Certainly it is not worth even $800 to my opinion. Just because of underwhelming camera performance alone.

I currently have a Pixel 4a and an Xperia 5 iii. The difference in low light scenes is astonishingly in the Pixel's favor. During the day I really like the Xperia's colors and having multiple zoom levels is great too. But in poor light the $349 Pixel cleans the Xperia's clock. Sure, with a tripod and a static scene I could get a better result on the 5 iii perhaps but in most situations it's not close. Google has bottled smoke or something.
