Hi everyone, i just get my new xz2c. I found this site where you can find a list of modded gcam apps. most of these apss are developed fot op5/op5t. But some versions run on xz2c too. And front camera bokeh works too.
Different modded apps have differente resolutions. The best version so far i tried is this one with these resolutions: Rear camera 8mpixels, front 5mpixels, bokeh rear 2megapixels, front 5megapixels.
Any feedback from other users?

thanks but hdr+ auto works for you in this version? if so what hdr settings did you choose? it doesn't seems to work here, no hdr processing after acquriing the pictures..
also panorama doesn't seem to work here :silly:
Panorama working here...
Can't get HDR+ to work, but that's the only Gcam working for me.
Any Gcam for S845 available yet ?
I'm my opinion Xperia camera is pretty superior to any other camera app I tried, why use Google camera?
Selfie camera is better With gcamera
HDR is not really the bestest on stock camera.
I wonder if with the release of Pixel 3 with SD845, whose ISP should be confirmed to be used straightly on XZ2, situation might not improve.

Hm, I like the HDR mode of the XZ2 a lot. It doesn't look artificial, and just increases the dynamic range.
However low light performance could be improved if HDR+ can be used. That's why I would want to use the Google Camera. The XZ2 has a large sensor, so low light performance could be pretty good, even without image stabilisation.

This is kinda OT
Btw you have to go to manual mode
Enter the settings (the gear) and turn on HDR
Yeah, I know, it's totally nonsense putting this option there

Hey that's my biggest complaint about the cam app because we often need to switch HDR ON/OFF on this device.
Especially as I shoot in manual because I prefer its results than the auto mode, more natural colors in general and so much better for taking people faces when the light is low.
It's even more stupid to have to go into settings since they already have an HDR toggle icon right on screen in video mode. They could just put the same HDR toggle for stills.
Can someone create a mirror? Link doesn't work anymore. Thanks!
can u post the correct setting for the google camera cam for potriat mode front and back
Thanks, in XZ2 is the best Gcam too.
Worst quality in photos tan stock camera app but photosphere is cool
With the announcement at IFA, Sony will update the camera app. Sony they know that the software needs to be improved, and now the developers are working on it with a mirror photographic series Alpha.
it has been a while since this topic is updated did anyone check one of the latest updates with pixel 3 apk? there are some ports made for op6.

my wife complains a lot about the stock sony cam, grainy, red skins in low light. so I cannot really test the apps myself
I tried some modded versione of Google camera 6.x
None works right now...
Hi all i am posting this issue to know whether others are facing this or not. Switching to portrait mode zooms the image making it difficult to get portrait from normal distance. Faced it with mix 2s as well. none of the other devices have this issue including poco f1, op6t, redmi note 5 pro. on my mix 2s, when i tried gcam, it was clicking much better pictures, especially in portrait mode. seems portrit mode uses the telephoto to click the image instead of using the main camera.
This is normal, telephoto is used for portrait shots. I recommend moving away from your subject when taking photos as portraits taken with a wide angle lens will distort your subject.
hmm.. waiting for gcam mod now. portrait as of now sucks.. the implementation is too poor.. wondering how the dxomark points were achieved.

How stupid are you? That's the standard implementation(Not meaning it's necessarily better, although longer focal lengths are preferred for portraits.), the manufacturers not using a second camera with a longer equivalent focal length are the contrarians.

if i have raised this issue, i have some background to it. pls keep shaming to yourself. just like you said that this implementation might not be better, we can have an option to choose which camera to use for portraits. stupidity is turning blind eye to a genuine issue when it can be easily fixed.

thanks this helps a lot.
I've found a lot of topics but none discuss in fact wich is the best camera app for Redmi Note 7 (Global Version).
I love the camera lens, but the stock camera app not so much... Wich one you thing is the best camera app ever for Redmi Note 7 Pro?
Paid, Ported, Free,...
I'm also very interested in this.
I've never installed a different camera app to a phone before, but the default app doesn't seem very good, and if there's better to be had I want it.
I constantly hear praise for Gcam, but it sounds like there's many different ports of it and no real clear answer on which one works the best.
Bumping this question, and ignoring the fact that the OP is talking about lavender and not violet, but are there any good Camera apps for the RN7P yet?
I've got the China RN7P and i've flashed crDroid onto it, but now that i'm looking into it, i'm having trouble finding a good working cam.
All of the Gcam ports i've tried have failed to recognize the 48MP rear camera, and completely hides the "Gcam settings" option so I can't even re-balance the terrible saturation.
I've also tried crDroid's default camera and Open Camera from the play store, both of which also didn't let the rear camera go above 12MP, and the pictures they took didn't stand up to what even the 12MP Gcams took (minus ruined saturation).
So is there anyway to get Gcam with 48MP and functional settings working on a custom rom, or is there any third party camera app that can recognise the 48MP on a custom rom and get close to Gcam's quality?
and if no to both of those, any idea how long it might take for a working 48MP camera to be working on a custom rom'd RN7P?

Excuse the messy living room pictures, and the fact that they're rotated despite being upright on my pc
but there's no difference at all, even in the properties of the images.
Pretty much same image quality, exact same resolution, and the settings still only says 12MP without an option for 48MP.
The first image is from 'camera' and the second image is from 'portrait' (which for some reason always takes pictures in burst mode).
Also I don't really know what level of quality I should be getting from the RN7P's camera, but I get the feeling they shouldn't be this visibly blurred and noisy.

Back when I was on MIUI 10, the MIUI camera app did recognize the 48MP camera, so it does have it.
Unless I somehow got sent the Indian version instead, in which case, i'd be pretty upset because it also has worse bands for my country too.

I tried both the xtreme and fu24 versions of gcam posted here in the Mi 9 forums, but both of them still only let me go up to 12MP in the settings.
The xtreme version took identical pictures in both 'camera' and 'portrait' mode just like the other gcams I've tried, and the fu24 version refused to even take a picture in 'portrait' mode.
Use Gcam 6.1 And Click Photo in Portrait Mode after Select Photo without Blur in Gallery.
Portrait Mode Support 48MP.

It's a bit hard to tell if pro mode is actually taking 48MP pics with the current bug that puts out small resolution images, but hopefully that should be fixed soon.

Hey can you try the Gcam 6.1.021 Note7pro
I can't post the download link because I'm a New member sorry. ?
You have to use portrait mode to get full 48MP photos.
Also to get the best possible results increase the saturation to 1.6 in settings and in Gcam settings enable HDR+ for portrait mode and disable Zoom in portrait mode to avoid the crop that Gcam has on it's photos.

I appreciate you trying to help, but I've tried 3 different ports of Gcam 6.1.021 and one port of Gcam 6.2.something
Even in portrait mode, the pictures it takes aren't 48MP, I've even posted examples in this thread.
No matter which port I used, what settings I changed or what mode I used, all the pictures came out the same.
12MP, and a resolution of 4000x3000

Just a thought here because I might be wrong but could gcam only be finding 12mp because of the pixel binning? Essentially, from what I've read and seen the sensor combines 4x 12mp to create the 48mp. I'm running the rn7 myself and see no difference between 12mp and 48mp in pro mode apart from being able to zoom slightly more on the higher mp shot.

Actually, the main camera sensor is a real Sony IMX586 48MP. The reason you don't see any difference between 12MP and 48MP is because both the photos are coming from a same sensor. It's just that the former one is pixel binned to decrease photo size and capture more light.
I believe True 48 MP mode can only be accessed using proper camera libs. Otherwise you can only get the 12 MP Mode

Take a pic in night with both the modes in RN7 PRO with Sony IMX586. You'll see the difference. Not sure about samsung sensor.
Please, what is the best settings for my GCAM for best photography
Hi all,
I have no idea at all about this sort of thing. Assuming there's not a proprietary Samsung framework the Samsung camera app is dependent on, is it at all possible to port the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra/Note 20 Ultra Camera app the the Mi 10? Given the main camera module is much the same, would it not theoretically work?
Thanks,
K

I disagree. I've used GCam with multiple XML files from here but the quality was never on par with the stock camera. Only the selfie camera seemed to benefit.

I assume you probably used old configs \ gcam versions?
Details wise, there is no comparison - gcam blows stock out of the water.
I do think that stock sometimes handle exposure \ colors better , but you can change gcam configurations to your liking.
No, I haven't used my own configs. As I said in my post I've used multiple XML files to load configs.
At 100% crop, the stock camera resolves much more fine detail than gcam.
EDIT: I used the latest versions linked in this thread.
I've since used the Burial version of the gcam app and I'm getting much better results although I'm not sure it blows the stock app out of the water. I'd still be interested to see how the Samsung camera app goes considering they share the same sensor and the Note 20 Ultra photos from the main camera are much better than the Mi 10 particularly in low light.
Coming from pixel pro 6. Love the camera, hate the size of phone. Know I'm giving up some great features by going smaller but what are you early owners seeing with the camera? Anyone planning on finding a gcam ported to it? Heard someone ported google photos also so magic eraser would work.
Thoughts please why I impatiently wait on my phone to arrive.
Good enough. Definitely better than than my Flip 3
The 3 seemed to lack detail and colour for me.
I've been searching xda for the gphotos port with magic eraser, but nothing is coming up for non pixel devices... Let me know if you know where it is plz!
Samsung now has object eraser, works same, however you could try this: https://www.smartprix.com/bytes/how-to-get-pixel-magic-eraser-on-other-android-phones/

I took some Flip 4 pics today to see how it goes, the color rendering seems ok, decent photos in good light conditions. No overkill, just point & shoot camera - things we were expecting from this phone.
The camera on this phone is definitely no Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro; however, I think that should be a given when upgrading. I installed The Greatest GCam port and was impressed. The issue with the ports that I have found is that they don't mimic the new camera software on the Pixels. The one that was closest did something weird with my camera lens and made everything spherical looking.
Been using pixel since pixel 1, the camera is not as good as pixel's, even compared to a pixel 3 (2018).
The picture took by Samsung is more colorful than pixel, more colorful than real.
And the picture took at night is worse than pixel. Pixel's algorithm (night sight) is absolutely needed.
Is there any working G Cam port? Thank you.
Haven't found a gcam port that doesn't crash yet, but Adobe is working on a camera app that is suppose to have similar AI to Pixel, along with some other great stuff. Don't know when it will be released though
The camera is certainly a step up from last year's device but not quite flagship grade.
It excels in well-lit areas absent of any fast moving objects.
A working GCAM port might convince to me to reconsider it as a daily driver (as I literally have no other qualms with the device).

Tried the BSG camera port. The good news is that everything seems to work. The bad news is that I took a number of test comparison shots with the Samsung camera (both lenses, night mode, portrait mode). The Samsung photos were clearly superior each time. If nothing else, makes me feel good about the camera built into the phone.

Can you take the selfie using the front camera? I tried G Cam from all mods and non of them has a working front camera. You can preview from the front camera, but you can't save the image.
As for the "superior", it's just personal tastes. Many people like the raw and real feeling of the G cam. Samsung's camera is too "vivid", the sky is bluer and the trees are more green, FAKE. And often lost the details because of the color management. G Cam, just captures the real world most of time.

Sorry, I've already deleted G Cam, so I can't test the selfie cam. Didn't think to try it.
Came from S22U, so my experienceis not applicablefor everyone.
For sure, the camera is not like in that phone, especially I'm missing the telephoto one. Night shots are more messy and such.
On the other hand though, it's not that bad at all. Night shots are doing what it supposed to do, day photos are great.
In my mind, I can say that the cameras on Flip 4 gets "Decent +" mark
