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.

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.

Long story short, I was messing around with a couple GCam by different developers and one by Burial that works amazing well for the S9+. I'm using the Sprint variant, so Snapdragon model.
I install the app like you would using any other app. When you first enter the GCam dont touch the different lens that appear, I think they're .06x, 1x and 2x. (These are aux lenses, dont enable them in the advanced settings either. )Changing those will cause the app to crash and you'll have to clear the app's data to get it working again. Soon enough those lenses will go away and you dont have to worry about accidentally hitting, at least that happened with me.
Mess around with the configs or upload your own. Keep in mind this version wasnt intended for the S9+, so there might be settings not meant for this device. Bugs may also exist, but I've yet to find any.

It's the Burial Gcam version C, the latest one.

Kinda hard for me to find a working for the Exynos, since I have a Snapdragon model. I did a quick google search and IDan has some working ones but they dont have night mode. You can always do what I did and research, try a couple apks until you find one that you like. There are existing threads for Exynos S9+ Gcams as well.

Me personally I like using Hyper NEX, a modded Gcam variant
It makes reds and greens really pop out IMO (check out the attached photos)
It does struggle with selfies (automatically) as it makes them to dark
Technically you can edit them and add brightness and color back, but I just use another GCam variant for selfies lol
Snapdragon is so great in this regard, there are a lot of Gcam variant and mods
In my opinion, I say try them all out. You'll be pleasantly surprised and you'll find a style that takes them how you want them
If you're interested in Hyper NEX, here's the link to download it:

Was considering the LG Velvet 5G but was just wondering if anyone has used gcam on it yet?
In the gcam hub useful links I can see the other LG phones like V60 but no Velvet.
Thanks in advance!
I have, It's not built just for the Velvet but it is built to work with ultra-wide cameras. The video should definitely be taken on the default camera app, normal photos you should use GCAM for. Photos at night come out horrible from GCAM, and okay if not bad from the normal camera app. Other people's experience may vary though if they found a better build
TLDR (?) Hey there. New to this thread but plenty of experience with Gcam variants and LG phones. I also happen to be a photographer! Anyways, don't expect magic out of the Velvet.... and it looks like support for this specific variant will be slow-but-steady. All things aside, I'm using the "GreatnessCam 2.1.1" found celsoazevedo's Gcam hub which is great once tweaked. The main camera's aperture means pretty damn decent low-light photography, especially when HDR+ is enabled. The ultra-wide angle's aperture is less narrow and the ISO sensitivity over-compensates which translates into terrible low-light photography in almost any setting. Of note, that Greatness variant will crash when ultra-wide angle is enabled in video mode, and Night Site isn't fully functional. Yet. I hope this helped a little, and if you (or anyone else) is curious about something more specific, please ask away.
What version of GCam is working for you guys? I have tried a few but with no luck. (GreatnessCam 2.1.1 is not working for me, lags alot)
I am using this version (GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk) without problems:
Urnyx05: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk

Same phone here, and I've tried maybe a dozen different gcams. All laggy and not usable (?)
After many downloads I got one that seem to work properly, though not my favorite.
I'll attach a picture of it's version.
Has anyone had success with a better camera app for the Velvet 5G? I see theres a bunch of modded gCam configs for a lot of the LG G series phones that improve them, not seeing anything really for the Velvet yet.
