I have installed 2 versions of the Gcam and none of them work, or it gives FC or my A8 reboots. You can help me with a version that works correctly without root
Regards
Would definitely appreciate a good one that makes good use of both front cameras.

What I'm looking for is a Gcam app that works for the rear camera, I do not need the selfie camera, I never use it.
Can anyone here help me with a download link for a version of Gcam that works correctly on the A8?
I have found several that work you just to try a ton of them and you will find one that works.
I installed Gcam night mode and I think that the samsung installed one is better than it

Do you think that the native camera of the A8 is better than the Gcam in all circumstances,or the Gcam by day can be better option or get more detail?
I still can not find a usable Gcam ...?

What no one has mentioned yet is that Samsung broke some of the code that supported Gcam in the Oreo firmware update for the A8. Now, when you install Gcam the HDR option does not even show up; and it crashes the phone if you try to enable it (by forcing all images to be HDR, for example).
I'm thinking of rooting and using Magisk and the Camera2API enabler module -- has anyone tried this?
Edit: You also can't rollback to N using Odin because of changes to the bootloader
There are a lot of working GCam for A8 2018. I tried several of them. The one that works every time would be iDan's Gcam 3.2.9. Portrait, HDR and RAW works. As of now, I am trying out newer gcam with Night Sight hoping one would work. I report a new Gcam working in the A8/A8+ 2018 Telegram.

A GCam port you might be interested in is another IDan GCam port, dated 2018/09/12 and version 1.8 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77603383&postcount=170 (based on GCam v5.1?)
It's running okay on my A530F (v8.0, October 2018 security patch) and I've been able to capture front and rear camera videos and photos (though the front camera didn't seem to like the wider angle shots). I've not had time to test the other features, though at least this port doesn't appear to reboot the A8.
Edit: as noted below, portrait mode crashes the device credit to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78456952&postcount=11

Can I confirm that the GCam 3.2.9 you mention is the one from here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-idan/ ? Trying this build https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/Mod8.3b_IDan_v3.2.9_Exy.apk the front portrait mode produces a strange pair of photos with different tones and the rear portrait mode appears to crash the device (A530, October 2018 v 8.0 security patch). The normal camera modes seem to work okay.
I can not make any version of Gcam work and the only one I could manage to take some pictures came out worse than with the native, very pale ... I would like to know if you know of any dev that is working on our A8 to carry a Gcam in conditions
Nope no one is working on this.

Agree, the photos are worst then the stock camera. The thing is that no one is developing nothing for a8, so i don't think we gonna have a good gcam on this phone. We will have to try all the exynos versions.

any news?
Good morning, very very long time xda luker here, years in fact, so thought I would jump in and join this topic.
Obviously like most of us I've loved using the gcam port on my SM-A530F and now after the 9.0 update I had to go back to the stock samsung camera. So did a bit a of looking around and found this.
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk
It works. Well I say works, it's extremely buggy, so maybe someone here with a little more knowledge than me can have a play around with it and hopefully (fingers crossed) get it usable.
I'm getting hard restarts when you take a second photo while hdr is processing and in low light conditions it will sometimes crash.
From what I've seen, though I could be wrong and my settings need a tweak but you can't use flash, you can't use front facing camera, and you can't enable motion photo.
Also sometimes when processing hdr it will freeze and you will have to force close and start again.
I'm only after a decent hdr+ back camera, I don't realy care that the front isn't working as to be honest the stock a8 camera is fine for a selfie etc.
Thanks guys, I hope this has helped a little or it might not help at all, but I thought I would share this as it's a version of gcam that doesn't crash on startup and does take photo's we'll sometimes it takes photos. ??

My friend, i found a gcam that works. It can take photos, but after every shot you need to change to video and back. Its zoran gcam. The thing is, the zgcam its just for donators. Look for the telegram group [Galaxy] Official Google Camera and ask for Egoist. He will explain you how to get into the zoran group.

The version I mentioned above does the same, you have to go to settings then back to photo before you can take another shot and also wait for hdr processing to finish.

We are happy to works on SM-G930F, but it is an A8 SM-J530F thread.
I tried the config that you advised and the phone get hard restart when i trying take a picture.
I have tried many of g cam version and discoverd that @Arnova8G2 "Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6.190614.0200.apk" and "GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850.apk" gives best result But it has the Serious issues of snapping time of pictures are slower & buffers like night sight on my redmi note 7 pro (Running miui 10.3.9 stable stck rom based on android version 9) and don't work 48mp resolution on rear camera.
Can anyone give me a solution for this bug or give me a better g cam version with setting that gives detail result like those version
Instead of loosing time writing all that, look around here and u'll find 2 great cameras : Nxcamera to replace stock cam and a great Gcam version.

GCam MOD is far superior to most of the stock camera apps.
OnePlus 8 does fit all the specs for the GCam or Ultracam. Has the IMX 586 so seems likely we will vet a port.
Any news from the experts?
I’m curious as to how much GCAM improves the standard OP8 camera. If at all?
The pro is flawed, had one and returned it and actually prefer the footprint of the standard but I’d want better camera performance than the stock camera provides. Would be good to know how much of Google’s special sauce can be brought to the OP8

I tried the GCam Mod today with the Magisk Module for other cameras support.
I do see that the GCam is actually able to switch between the three cameras ( Tested by closing other cameras with finger while switching between the thee modes)
0.6x is switching to MACRO Camera
1x is shooting 12MP mode of the Main Camera
2x : is switching to the Top Camera and works well in Wide mode (if ratio is 4:3)
GCam version : 7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.6
Magisk : Aux_Mod_V2

All Gcam's are for non-rooted users since they are just an APK to install. I can verify the one on this page for the oneplus 7/7t/7pro works fully, but I can't really say if it is better or not cause I'm not a big camera person.

Gcam can be installed on Non Root but can't access the other cameras except the Main sensor.
to access other lenses you will need magisk module.
Detailed steps to install are here:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/oneplus-8-and-8-pro-gcam-google-camera/
The latest OxygenOS opened up some access to aux cameras in Gcam without root. Ultrawide is possible to use now without root.
For a compatible OnePlus 8 Gcam + XML check the OnePlus 8 telegram Group : https://t.me/gcamOnePlus8
Gcam info here : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/links/
I installed the latest GCam version from that last link along with the xml file on my T-Mobile OnePlus 8. Mostly it work great, but it cranes any time I try to switch to nightsight mode. Anyone else experiencing this?
Unrelated, I'm not sure if I have the latest OS version mentioned above that enables switching lenses, but I don't see to have that option. Looking at the last message I saw in the telegram group, it seems the requirements for the 8 vs 8Pro are different with regard to root and magisk. Root is not an option for me.
I thought I'd just create a post to discuss cameras for the F2 Pro running custom ROMs.
So far I've been testing ANX Camera and various GCams, but found both don't work 100%.
I've found some forums talking about Gcam and the Telegram groups talking about ANX Cam, but am yet to find one that fully works.
ANX Cam.
I've found the picture quality to be really good and appears better than Gcam from what I can tell.
Working: Default 16MP, 64MP Cam works and the 2x zoom.
Not Working > Portrait mode crashes, front pop up cam crashes, but working on video, wide 0.6 cam doesn't work
Flashed modules in Magisk:
ANX Cam
ANXCameraHotfix.190.BootloopFix.zip
48MPFixQ_181.GlossyIntelligentCock.zip
ANXCameraProvider.190.BountifulDistantHapuka.zip
ANXCameraHotfix.190.BootloopFix.zip
Then install ANX Cam from PlayStore
GCam:
Using Gcam 7.3.018 by Urnyx05 version 2.4 Gcam 7.3.018 Urnyx05 v2.4
Also trying GreatnessCam 2.3 GreatnessCam
Working: Wide angle 0.6 cam works, portrait works
Not Working: Both Gcam's seem to work, but unable to get the 64MP cam to work and 2x zoom.
I've just found it tricky with all the various Gcam versions and ANX cam mods to find a single working solution. If could get Gcam that works could scrap ANX or vice versa.
Can you share your cam config if it's working?
OK, I'm reviving this thread.
I want to flash CRdroid custom rom, but I don't want to loose camera quality. Any experiences?

Does the stock camera work, yes. It's quality is essentially the same as all other LOS devices and their stock cameras. They work, so-so quality.
When you say lanes, I'm going to assume you mean the auxiliary cameras? No they do not work. There are some versions of GCam out now with all of them working. That being said, the version I still like, that just works is has been this one:
GCam_dev_6beta3.201224.0112build-8.1.101.apk (<-- celsoazevedo.com link)
That version does not have the auxiliary cameras working either. I use it though as everything just seems to work without issue, no tweaking of settings between functions, etc.
