No Gcam works?

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.

Going to try this one. Ty

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.

The idan 3.2.9 works here with portrait on rear camera. All things work. But not on front cam because of the second camera.

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 luck with getting a good working rear camera portrait mode yet?

Just the Verizon 2.4.025 os working

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.

Rear portrait works. Playground needs AR core. To be honest I don't think playground is something I wanna test, seems like a silly thing to me. Motion don't works.

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.

Confirmed working on SM-G930F!

thx for this...tried now several versions of gcam 6.*....none of them really worked well.... this one is the most stable for me so far, though i still have crashes ever and anon (after taking picture, but seldom now) . not as stable as gcam5 (which is the last version works perfect 4 me) but definitely best working v6 version for me.

Solved, using the last Bulkin Gcam (6.2.030) , I just started using Franco Kernel and no crash or FC.

Any ideas why crash on launch? I'm on Syberia OS Pie with OV sensor

I'm using aosp extended based on Pie and currently I'm using Sulphur gcam from insanity but is there any better one for me?! and does flashing a custom kernel make any difference cuz I'm using the stock one with aosp..

Pls help, im on havoc os poe for mido and except some gcam apps most of them says app not installed for me while installing, i don't know much about these gcam things like Samsung sensors or whatever but if someone helps I appreciate, thanks

Proper GCam Solution Needed For Redmi Note 7 Pro

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.
