Anyone able to get Video Stabilization to work again after Pie update?

I really need this feature and it's gone since Pie update , I wonder if it's a bug or they intentionally removed it?
Anyone able to get the stabilization to work or any method to revert the camera app to the older version?
Please help!!!

I was under the assumption video stabilisation is on always.. You can't turn it off. Hence there's no option in the settings anymore....

I wish it was like that but I'm pretty sure it is not!!!
The video recording is shaking as hell and it doesn't make sense to have in on all the time since EIS doesn't work with 60FPS and 4K and that would be really confusing.

Using gcam you get the option to turn video stabilisation on/off.

.
But the same, when you switch to 4k it disables it....I do think gcam video stabilisation works better than native app....

Your quite tight you won't find it in the Playstore as its a modified version of the camera app that goes into the pixel phones.
There's very little versions, if any now, that work OK with this phone. Not many developers are trying to port the app to the honor note 10. Not popular enough or to old.
The one I'm using is the latest version I can find that works OK with the Note 10. Albeit an old version now as the latest version of Gcam have loads more features..

Download it and see how you get on.
If you're in tested in trying other modded apk's, then check out this Web page. It has hundreds of modded versions....but beware a lot of them just won't run of freeze the phone when the app is opened.. Good luck.. [emoji1303]

I believe this is huge news, especially if the GCam devs could get it to work on devices like Huawei P40 series!!
My P40 Pro is currently being repaired (bricked) so can't really test this private BSG GCam build at the moment.

I should get my P40 Pro back in a couple days, so I will be testing this soon!! Of course I cannot share the private build, since it's for donators only and I don't want to be banned from the group and being able to test future builds...
No promises on what works and what doesn't, though. In fact I don't even know if the GCam app will launch correctly, but fingers crossed!
Also, of course if anyone has already tested it, I would appreciate some comments saying if the app even works or not. Thanks.

This might be a really good news, if they will get it to work
Please test it and update us as soon as you get your device repaired

Hi guys. Got my P40 Pro back from repair today.
So I tested the most recent private builds from BSG, and unfortunately the app crashes immediately. I think the BSG devs are still working on a version that will be compatible with some Huawei phones. No idea if the P40 Pro will be one of them. We just have to be patient, and we'll see.

Please keep us up to date

Last I heard, the Kirin version is still planned. Unfortunately no idea how much longer it will take, and on what Huawei phones it will work.

No unfortunately he failed
He told me he has no progress at all

It will never work until Huawei implement Camera2api, which they're not interested in doing.

Very strange. I checked myself there is nothing like this!

Looks a lot like faulty hardware. You should send it in for service.

I do not think it is a hardware issue because this doesn't happen in the othee shooting mode including the pro mode. Only on the night mode. I am using the China version PDEM30.

Just to add, this doesn't happen on the handheld mode on the night shot mode. So wierd

GCam face retouch not working

Hi All,
Which GCam release should I use with my Poco F2 Pro so that face retouching will work?
I have tried Urnyx05 7.3 (2.4 to 2.6), Urnyx05 8.1 and also BSG's 8.1. Face retouching works in none of them. I tried changing the face retouching settings as well. I used the corresponding config files for the Poco F2 Pro too. I'd rather use GCam than some annoying ad-riddled selfie app.
Also, what is the basic difference between snapcam, ruler, MGC, ENG, scan3D flavors of a GCam?
Thank you so much in advance.
Best,
Satish

Hi I use this BSG one and it works

Did you work around the Problem?
I am using GCam on my Poco F2 Pro, tried so many different versions and never figured out how to make face retouch to work.
Apparently some dev settings should be changed I suppose. Tried the above form the comments but did not work.
Currently using the versions BSG_8.5.300
And LMC_8.4.300

Question Samsung s22 ultra HDR blue cast in highlights

Hi guys new to Samsung after many years aways (my last true Samsung usage was a Galaxy S2. I bought a s20 plus but didn't get on with it at all)
I have a snapdragon s22 ultra and am getting used to the ai hdr applied to photos. Obviously very different to Huawei (who I feel still have the upper hand) but I've picked up some issues of reflections and highlights being cast blue or purple and it's very unfortunate.
Anyone else seen this? I think Samsung have some work to do, in the same vein as the sports mode or shutter priority mode to avoid blurry photos of our kids or pets.

Thank you have tried but doesn't fix it. I think the ai is misreading scenes and applying the effect to reflections and brighter white colours

you could try using pro mode, i know it doesnt fix the problem at its core but would help you take better pictures

Appreciate the assistance. My only gripe with Pro mode is upping shutter speed alone still leaves you with shoddy looking but less blurry images in lower light situations. The huaweis show just how much images are fixed in post using ai - their Pro mode on the mate 40 Pro produces barely usable images as the chromatic aberration and noise just goes mad

do you know your way around android, you could try extracting or finding a huawei camera apk, signing it, and try to install it on your device, may not work, but it may also with some manipulation, wont do any harm to try

Yeah I'm into tech but not that inclined. I'm just hoping Samsung makes some changes to benefit all

I get this type of image with nightmode on ultrawide lens, check the red patch around the yellow night bulb,i think there scene optimiser is not working properly in some instances, when I use pro mode or extra raw app this doesn't show even with dialling same settings as nightmode image
