Looks good, at the moment there are a few similar apps available, I have tried all of them, now the difference will be in the amount of features. I like that the refresh rate looks good (unlike some of the other apps available).
Last time I checked your app was not in Samsung Gear Apps store, but will give it a try once available. At the moment there are two apps that are my favorites, one that can record video and high resolution pictures, but the refresh is not that smooth, and the other is 'buttery smooth' but can only record pictures up to 1080p in resolution. Hopefully your app might become one of my favorites as well
Thank you for comment. My app takes pictures in highest resolution possible for chosen camera (rear or front). Video recordig feature will be added in next update, along with resolution choice feature. I will notify here, when app will pass certification and be available in Samsung Gear Apps store.

Hello,
Im planning to add more camera settings including image effects and stabilization in next updates.
Update
Phone Camera Remote app v1.2 update was released.
Changelog:
-customizable camera settings
-scene modes selection
-color effects selection
-gallery images group by date
Excellent app, but ...
.... the only thing that doesn't work for me is an actual view in zoom mode. The image on the gear 2 neo stays the same when camera zoomed in. The camera is zoomed and if I take a picture I get a zoomed image, but the display on the neo stays the same, making it impossible to set a frame for the picture when using zoom.
Otherwise, this is one very cool app.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini running stock O2 android 4.2.2 (with gear support)
Watch: Gear 2 Neo
Ill try to fix zoom issue. Never saw it while testing on s4.

That would be fantastic. Having used the app in several situations lately, it is already in the top two best uses for the Gear 2 Nano, along with the Music Player++ app.
If you can fix the zoom preview issue, it will be hands down the best app I have on the watch.
Thanks for all the hard work!

May I have some questions. What is the videobit of 1080P? Can I increase it or your app just read out it from media_profiles.xml? How is the jpg compression rate on your app? Will you add support for 4K recording for note3/note4/S5/Alpha?
Sorry for too many questions but I'm thinking to get a Gear2 just for this app before I buy it I want to know all things first.

Hello,
app uses default videobit for all video resolutions. Jpg compression rate is 90. As for 4K, it will be available as experimental feature in next update (experimental, because 4K video is not fully supported by the standard Android API yet).

Thanks for fast reply, you are real quick. Because the default videobit is just around 20M on all Samsung phones and definitely not enough for 1080P. Can I increase it by modify the media_profiles.xml myself? or can you add support various bitrate selection for it?
Good news for 4K experimental feature, hope Android 5.0 will real support 4k.

If android takes default value from media_profiles.xml, then modifying media_profiles.xml might help. As for manual bitrate setting, I will try if it is effective to change bitrate manually.
can we decrease the resolution of the screen to 1080p with android oreo 8.0 ?
yes.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/mod-change-default-resolution-to-1080p-t3638543
The foreground optimizer in the included Boost+ app also allows switching to 1080p on a per app basis.

You can download the APK from elsewhere, the app is called "Samsung My Emoji Maker", make sure to grab version 1, not version 2, v2 is for the S9. Emoji still don't load in Samsung Camera even with that installed though.
Super Slow Motion is not supported on devices older than the S8, I'll disable the mode completely for the S7 in an update.
Slow Motion videos not working with Samsung's Slow Motion Editor is a known bug that I somehow caused when I implemented encoder switching. That's also going to be fixed in an update
Nice dude! Keep this device alive!
Any plans to make still image quality better?

I want to add a JPEG quality slider to the settings, not sure what else could be done
Hi.
I flashed the mod and everything works fine except that it was a bit buggy. Upon uninstalling, camera is now too much buggy. ?
First of all, after uninstalling the mod, when launching the camera it opens upside down then after 5 seconds it comes to normal. Secondly, all the shooting modes are gone except "Auto". An error keeps popping saying "ShootingModeProvider has stopped".
The camera app itself has changed its name to "Auto". As you can see in the screenshot below, i created a backup of camera app using Titanium Backup before uninstalling the mod. Then after uninstalling it's appearing as "Auto" but it's also showing the backup with the name "Camera".
Need help!
*Note: Screenshots of camera modes and Titanium Backup is down below ?
Shooting modes gone

Awesome work! Love that mod! But is it possible to add a QHD 60fps resolution? UHD 60fps takes too much space for me

You can lower the bitrate in the settings, the default for UHD 60 is 100 Mbps but even 50 Mbps should be fine (that's what the iPhone X uses), effectively making the videos take up half space they would normally. I will probably add a QHD 60 option in an update

This is a hardware limitation of the S7, it happens in the stock 1080p60 mode too. All modes above 60 FPS have a significant quality loss and I don't recommend using them for anything other than clips that you intend to slow down later. This is again a hardware limitation

Redmi Note 7 Pro is a device capable of delivering amazing photos with the help of Google-Camera which has gained a lot of popularity in the past recent years. The aim of this thread is to provide the violet community with the latest news and updates about our dedicated Google-Camera Mod created by Senior Developer Arnova8G2!
The latest available G-Cam Mod is 8.1 version which is now stable. All features are working very well with the exception of face retouching. A lot of work has been put into this version and many significant advancements have been made towards solving various bugs and improving the stability and output quality of this Google-Camera Mod
[Bugs]
face retouching not working
slow-motion autofocus not working
You can download Google-Camera 8.1.101 Stable made by Arnova8G2 from HERE
NOTE: Cloning is no longer supported for this version due to APK encryption

[ Arnova 8.1 XML Configs ]
There are four XML configs for this version: FrontA, FrontA_shasta, FrontB and FrontB_shasta. If front camera white-balance fails in certain lighting conditions with FrontA, switching to FrontB is advised and vice-versa. FrontA is ideally suitable for day selfies and FrontB for night selfies
NOTE: Back camera performs the same with all four configs. Only front camera white-balance is affected
Download the XML Configs from HERE
To learn how to load XML files please see this tutorial
Create the appropriate path for 8.x version on device storage » put the XML file(s) inside "Configs8" sub-folder » open G-Cam and double-tap the black empty space around the shutter button » load config (switching between configs does not require rebooting)
NOTE: Android 11 users must grant full file permissions to Google-Camera in order to be able to load xml configs
Long-press on G-Cam icon > Info > See More > Permissions > Files and Media > Allow management of all files
For info about XML features and tuning, please read the changelog upon loading the configuration file!
Shasta is a bracketing mode capable of merging multiple frames of different exposures. Affects noise, controls shadows and allows for a wider dynamic range. Works only with Camera and Portrait (capturing is prolonged while active)
Some basic rules for better understanding of shasta in good light versus low light:
a) in good light, shasta generates more details, but may also add more noise
b) in low light, shasta generates more details, but reduces noise by a large margin
[ PRO Back Camera Tips ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the viewfinder for a better exposure. Focusing manually will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure the subject will be well exposed
[ PRO Front Camera Tip ]
When shooting a selfie with strong light coming from behind or when shooting in low-light, your face may be underexposed. To counteract this issue, tap to focus on your face and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure your face will be well exposed
[ Other Useful Tips ]
∆ EIS works only on 1080p ~Auto/30fps videos using ‹IMX586 QBC HDR Mode› video stream which is set by default for back camera. Only compatible with ‹Standard› and ‹Locked› stabilization modes ∆
For ‹Active› and ‹Cinematic Pan› make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
For recording 60fps videos make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹Video HSR 60› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
For recording 4K videos make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu. For smoother 4K videos HEVC must be disabled from Advanced menu ~ 60fps not supported
NOTE: Some ROMs do not support video streams for back camera and/or front camera. If there are issues with Video mode, make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
To prevent slow-motion focus hunting issues, tap to focus on the viewfinder and lock AF/AE by tapping the lock icon on top of the EV slider ~ 1/8 not supported
For Astro mode there is a dedicated ‹Astrophotography On› button which can be enabled from Night Sight drop-down menu
{ AWB On } { Focus » infinity } { Timer » 3sec }
For faster photos with HDR+ Enhanced, set Image Quality to ‹Auto› (alternatively standard HDR+ can be used)
For smoother selfies with less facial details on HDR+ Enhanced, turn off Ram Patcher from Advanced menu and set Image Quality to ‹Auto› (alternatively standard HDR+ can be used or turned off completely)
IMPORTANT: A clean install is always recommended prior to using Google-Camera in order to avoid possible functionality issues with the app! First uninstall all G-Cam apps currently found on your system » install G-Cam » open it and grant permissions » close G-Cam » clear G-Cam data and cache » open G-Cam and apply the settings/config » reboot device
ABOUT 48MP RESOLUTION: True 48MP is not currently supported on any G-Cam mod due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. This mode is only supported in MIUI Camera. On few devices this hindrance has been tackled via Magisk modules which override that limitation. But on mid-range devices it isn't a viable solution because 48MP coupled with HDR+ will basically freeze the Google-Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. There are some older 6.x.x G-Cam versions which support a 48MP resolution on portrait mode, but it is just an upscaled resolution and not the real deal

Enjoy Google-Camera 8.1 on your violet device!

This feature does not work on our device due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. And even if this limitation can be overcome, there will be serious performance issues because 48MP coupled with HDR+ Enhanced will basically freeze the Google Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. Google Camera is not designed to work with such high resolutions. Even on the few devices where it does work, it causes huge lags and also the viewfinder is significantly cropped.

This is due to color filter arrangement which is set to <RGGB> by default. Changing it to <Auto> will solve the problem. Better yet, use the XML config provided on 1st page.

Try it and see if it's good enough for you.
Hi
Just a few things I noticed. Sometimes the location data is not saved, the logs cannot be disabled. It keeps logging regardless of the settings. Other than this and the known limitations it's a good port.
L. E. : another issue that I found is that sometimes the camera doesn't take the picture. It focuses, when I click the shutter it seems to take the picture, but nothing is saved. I can't reproduce it. It happens randomly.
Cheers!
Has anyone tried Gcam version 8?

AWB is disabled by default to ensure a straightforward and hassle-free user experience. Suits all indoor and outdoor conditions by rendering accurate image temperature and colors whether shooting in natural or artificial lighting
AWB On (Auto) is suitable for shooting in particular outdoor conditions where a cooler image temperature is needed. Great for capturing foliage with dark-blueish greens and generally recommended for blue colors. Especially suitable for cloudy weather and useful for framing the blue sky with a mass of water in one shot. Not suitable for capturing warm colors such as light-greens or yellow colors in general and great for neutralizing sunlight

[ PRO Back Camera Tips ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the center of the viewfinder for a better exposure. Manually focusing on the center of the viewfinder will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using exposure slider. This will ensure the subject won't be underexposed
[ PRO Front Camera Tip ]
When shooting a selfie with strong light coming from behind or when shooting in low-light, your face may be underexposed. To counteract this issue, tap to focus on the center of your face and slightly raise exposure using exposure slider. This will ensure your face will be well exposed
[ Other Useful Tips ]
For faster photos with HDR+ Enhanced, set Image Quality to ‹Off› or use standard HDR+ instead of Enhanced
For smoother selfies with less facial details on HDR+ Enhanced, turn off ‹Use Sabre› from advanced menu, turn off lib patcher from Mods Configs Creator and set Image Quality to ‹Off›
For smoother 4K videos HEVC must be disabled from advanced menu ~ 60fps not supported
To eliminate focus hunting issues while recording a slow-motion video, tap to focus on the center of the viewfinder and lock AF/AE by tapping the lock icon on top of the EV slider ~ 1/8 not supported
[ Night Sight Astrophotography ]
For Astro mode there is a dedicated ‹Astrophotography On› button which can be selected from Night Sight drop-down menu
For best astrophotography results, set ‹Samsung S5KHMX› as AWB model for back camera from Mods Configs Creator and select ‹AWB On› button from Night Sight drop-down menu

IMPORTANT: A clean install is always recommended prior to using Google-Camera in order to avoid possible functionality issues with the app! First uninstall all G-Cam apps currently found on your system » install G-Cam » open it and grant permissions » close G-Cam » clear G-Cam data and cache » open G-Cam and apply the settings/config » reboot device
ABOUT 48MP RESOLUTION: True 48MP is not currently supported on any G-Cam mod due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. This mode is only supported in MIUI Camera. On few devices this hindrance has been tackled via Magisk modules which override that limitation. But on mid-range devices it isn't a viable solution because 48MP coupled with HDR+ will basically freeze the Google-Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. There are some older 6.x.x G-Cam versions which support a 48MP resolution on portrait mode, but it is just an upscaled resolution and not the real deal

Hi,
It's any possibility to enable HDR on video recordings with 60fps 4K resolution? It's a Samsung lab function available only in UHD @30FPS.
Maybe mod or camera software from S23 Ultra? Maybe different solutions.
In Gallery in S23 Ultra there's a new features - magic selector when You press an object on photo for a 3 sec. (like in iPhone). It's possible to ad this feature to our phones? I know there is a selector when we using sPen, but we need to select manually what we want to copy.
You'll get that image selector feature in one ui 5.1 update...so stay tune
