GCAM / ZGCAM for Exynos [s10/+/e] - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi All,
First of all , I would like to thank @KoopahTManiac , I found Working Gcam with Specially Exynos Phones.
Everything is working except front camera. You can take stunning Photos using the BAck camera. There are many camera configs are available.

3- Temperature Control: Manually select the white balance control.
4 - Flash: Enable, Disable or Automatic.
5 - Shortcut to turn on or off AWB (Auto White Balance).
6 - Allows you to turn the continuous flash on or off, if the continuous flash is on even before the shutter is clicked.
7 - Moon icon is full auto. S+M is semi auto. S+ and S2 are manual underexposure based on underexposure value, also they differ in iso selection in lowlight. Moon icon is the most used by us.
8 - Camera Modes.
9 - Zoom.
10 - Toggle shutter aperture, only for compatible devices.
Night Sight
1 - Switch between auto focus, "macro" or infinite focus.
2 - Iso Slider
Settings Main Top

- Lens Shading Tuning:
Sets The Lens Shading Correction Profile(Dont Use Off).
- Metering Mode:
Matrix Tries To Expose The Whole Sceene.
Center weight exposes on center.
Google handle by Google itself.
- Lib: Libs are at the heart of image processing, they control colors, noise, white balance, and more. You can use google stock or try the modified ones like ZGCAMV2.
- HDR+ underexposure multiplier: Higher values give more underexposed image(darker image with better preserving highlights and light sources) and lower values give brighter image but overexposing in highlights . Best trade of value is 75.
- HDR+ white balance: Change colors by modifying the white balance.
- Enable sabre: SuperZOOM: Even with Zoom, photos do not lose resolution (Enable only if your processor is snapdragon).
- Live HDR Settings: Live hdr is Samsung's hdr and only is for s7/n7/s8/n8... It eliminates rainbow ring around the edges in high hdr scenes but in returns gives some noise. Its a trade of.
- Device Specific Fixes: Specific fixes for the device, see your model and enable. Color filter Array Pattern: Color corrections for some specific devices. Example: One Action on the front uses GBRG.
Settings Main Middle
- Noise Profile Tuning: Tunes the noise removal according to your phone's camera sensor.
- Lib Editing: Lib Fine Tuning, where you determine the level of sharpness and reduction of noise and artifacts in the image.
- Black Level Back Fine Tuning: helps remove the different colored "tint" you could get in certain scenarios.
- Front Denoise Multiplier: Multiplies the processing of photo noise, the louder, the softer the focus becomes, careful high values can end up with details.
- Custom LibEdit: Enables the menu for noise profile and Lib fine tuning.

Settings Main Lower Middle
- Auto Exposure correction: Controls the max shutter speed, in other words the speed at which the photo will be taken. However, it does not work like a conventional manual mode.
Advantages: You can make the photo faster regardless of the light
Disadvantages: It can cause noise in the photos if you don't choose the ideal speed for the light situation.
- Correction NightSight: Controls the Max shutter Speed NightSight is allowed to use.
- Exposure compensation: Determines the light compensation. Makes the photo lighter or darker.

[Article] cellphones and photography

Hi all!
All ok?!
I create this small text for a Brazilian Android Forum, called BrasilDroid, so I would put here in XDA too.
It is about the quality of our cellphones cameras and the quality of them.
A lot of definitions :
What is Photography ?
Literaly is write with light. The term is derived from Greek. photos(light) and graphos (drawing). So, the basic premise for take a picture is... Light!
What we need to take a photo?
For take a picture we need a camera with lens and film, that in digital photography is the camera sensor.
Pixel and Resolution
If we make a enlarge expansion in a photo we see various square points that make the image, this points are called Pixel. This is the minor measure that we have in our photos.
The photo resolution are directy connected to the Pixel. In a photo that have dimensions of 1920x1080 your resolution is 2,736,800 px or 2.1mpx.
Roughly, resolution is the photo area.
Quality vs Pixel
Many peoples confuse the camera quality with the amount of megapixel available.
But, quality not linked with quantity.
The Camera quality is linked direct to height of sensor and how the sensor handles the lack of light.
When we pont our camera for the scene and shoot a "curten" open and leave the sensor exposed to light. In this moment the sensor catch the light. Immediately after the "curten" close and the image is recorded.
While the obturator(the name of "curten") is open the sensor is capturing the light, so, smaller the area for capture minus details can be captured and more digital interference need to be used to create the image.
Let us consider two sensors:
Sensor 1 - 7x5mm.
Sensor 2 - 20x14mm.
These sensors be in two diferents cameras with 5mpx of resolution.
When we take a photo in 1920x1080 (Full HD) the sensor try capture the light of all scene usin 2.1 milions of points.
In First Sensor the pixel be very close, the area is smaller, making the size of these pixel be small, soon, the amount of detail that each of these pixels will be store are small.
In Second Sensor the pixels be more separated, the area is bigger, the pixels can capture mor information of the light.
The final image will be the same resolution in each sensors, but, the sensor two store more information. Considering the size of this sensors, Sensor two will store three times more information.
In other words, a small sensor need perform a big effort for store all information, are many pixels in a small area. This makes the camera need interfere in capture, generating small points between the pixels. In these moment we have other problem ... Grain...
So, for what serve the pixel ?
Enlarge.
The more megapixel used in a photo greater be your dimension, so, more we can enlarge the picture keeping the proportion without loose information.
Why the photos look better on cellphone than on the computer?
That we see in screen of cell is basically a photo in a lower resolution than the real resolution, these lower resolution hide photos imperfections and some LCDs can make a bigger shine or contrast in the photos, like the AMOLED.
How to take better photos with cell ?
1 - Don't use the max megapixel
If you are shoot with cell, certainly, be a big image don't is your objective, so, you can take photos in small resolution. In Cell with 5.0mpx take a picture with 3.2mpx only bring gain...
2 - ISO
If the camera have manual ISO, try to use the lower ISO number, the higher ISO more digital inteference, and more grain...
But, the low ISO makes the scene need more light.
3 - Prefer shooting statics objects or don't shake
Most of cellphones don't allows the manual configuration of Obturator Speed. The camera software try to choice the better speed for the scene.
The phone try balance the speed with ISO and aperture, many times the speed is going down. And slow speed is synonymous of blur photo.
How to get around this? If possible, increase the ISO or increase the exposure compensation. And let the phone as still as possible.
4 - Using flash
Flash, very polemic, but, in cell cameras can be a great ally.
When use the flash your light make that the scene freeze, reducing very much the slow speed problem.
Obvious, xeon flash is better than Led.
5 - Modify the pr proportion
Case the camera be proportion adjust try choice the best of each photo.
Proportion 4:3 = 1.333
Proportion 3:2 = 1.5
Proportion 16:9 = 1.77
To calculate the proportion just divide the bigger side by smaller.
Para calcular a proporção é só dividir o lado maior pelo lado menor.
A Photo with 2048x1536 px be : 2048 / 1536 ~= 1.333
So, the resolution 2048x1536 have proportion 4:3.
To improve the photos working with the proportion the best way is using photo's editors.

Iphone and S3
(https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2708421/+200)
They noted that the lower sensor of a digital camera 1/2.5 (0.4) is ~ 25% higher than the sensor of Galaxy S3 1/3.2 (0.31)?
Guys, it is clear that we can take great pictures with our cell phones, however, the limitation of the hardware and the sensor will always do that to that quality is not expected.
After all that, you imagine how absurd it is to have a mobile phone with 41mpx resolution?
A decent camera, that resolution costs over $ 20,000 and has a huge sensor, called medium format!
I propose a challenge. I take two pictures with my Ace 2. One with 5.0mpx and other with 3.2mpx. Both are in the ratio 4:3 with 100% Crop.
which of the photos was made ​​with 5.0mpx and what was done with 3.2mpx?
Photo one :
Photo two:
That is, questions, suggestions ... and let the discussion!

Almalence, Inc., the maker of a number of camera apps for Android, including HDR Camera+, has just released Open Camera, an open source camera app with an extendable commercial version (A Better Camera).
Our intention is to make A Better Camera a top-ranked app and allow third-party developers add their plugins (free or paid), getting instant exposure to millions of users.
We welcome all of you to test that fresh application, provide your comments and, of course, join the project as developers!
Availability:
Open Camera is available at Github: Get from GitHub
Available on Google Play: A Better Camera, the version with Almalence’s proprietary plugins (free with some features in trial mode): Get from Play
The idea:
Provide as much shooting modes, features and options as possible, potentially replacing all other camera apps
Plug-in system, allowing developers to easily implement new modes without having to develop the whole camera functionality from scratch
Make it possible to use the code in commercial applications and in conjunction with code and libraries under different licenses (Open Camera is under MPL 1.1)
Allow third party developers to add their paid plugins to the commercial version distributed by Almalence
The Synergy:
Almalence works on making A Better Camera the top app on Google Play
The developers can add their plugins to A Better Camera, getting instant exposure to millions of the users of ABC, instead of publishing a new app which goes to the bottom of apps list.
Features available at the moment in A Better Camera:
HDR (functionality is the same as in HDR Camera+ app)
Panorama
Unwanted objects removal: remove objects from the photo with a tap
Night mode: capture sharp and noise-free photos in any illumination

Sequence shot: capture the evolution of the dynamic scene
Burst shooting and exposure bracketing
Self-timer
+ full access to all Camera controls, settings and functions
The processing libraries used for HDR, Panorama, Night mode, Group portrait stitching, objects removal and sequence shot are available under developer license (can be used for development, but not for distribution)
All interested developers and users are welcome to discussion!
Great camera! Thanks for sharing it. I've made this the default camera app on my S4. I've compared the basic camera control features to many others including stock AOSP, FV-5, Lenovo Super Camera (ignoring gimmicky features such fancy effects, filters, stickers, i heart u from apps like Camera Zoom FX, Cymera, etc). This camera app comes out on top.
Wishes:
- Faster load. It's good now, but can be better.
- Manual ISO settings (on Galaxy S4, it doesn't show though other camera apps can show it)
- Live/actual shutter speed and aperture (I know aperture is fixed, but for the thinking photographer, it helps to see the numbers)
- Exposure Bracketing setting: +-1, +- 0.5, etc
- Timer setting: 1 sec (for movement reduction after tapping the screen), 3 sec, 10 sec, etc
- Timer setting: disable/enable flash warning
- Flash compensation (useful for fill-in, not that the onboard flash can do much)
- Swipe to gallery (a bonus, not a must)
- Faster load. Did I say faster load?
(I think all those wishes are still sticking to basic features)
But even without the wish list, this camera app rocks. Hopefully it would make the XDA front page one of these days (already tipped them).
yes a great camera APP! Now one of my camera app on HTC ONE.
I use Camera360, Lenovo Super Camera, Focal, Camera FV-5, HDR+ ....
my Wish:
please make a widget, so that you can start the camera applikation with settings !!!
-> example: on click on HDR Widget or one click on Normal Widget ...
i dont know why i need always to go in the camera app, make my settings and then i can make my photo.
it would be nice to save the settings to a widget
Thank you for the feedback

tasker support
wishlist:
when you done it a solution with settings - you have new possibilities:
I use utter - a personal voice assistent ( a very good one) this software has support for tasker ( automatic solution) :
so it would be a nice solution to have tasker support
i say: "make a normal photo" -> the phone make a normal photo
i say: "make hdr photo" -> it makes a hdr photo ...
i say: "make video" -> it makes a video
it was the first solution like this

This app has an awful lot of promise. Nicely done! One problem I am having is after selecting video mode, it doesn't want to let me return back to single shot mode.
Of lesser importance, I also wish there were a way to switch to video faster and think the main app icon could be improved. Look forward to future development. Thanks!

I did yesterday. Thank you for the sale.
Could you add an option to edit a series of photos after they are taken to apply hdr,object removal or sequence shot manually (rather than apply those live). That would mean that I could take a burst shot of 10 photos and then decide later on if I want to create a sequence shot or apply object removal.
I hope that makes sense.

How to Get the Best Gcam Settings - Mastering Gcam Advanced Settings

Well, if you are on xda you probably have heard about Google Camera App A.K.A Gcam and if you have there are two major struggles - how to find the most stable/latest Gcam mod the next, how do I tweak it to get the best pictures. There is already a General Gcam hub on xda here which is very well organised if that won't satisfy you, head over to your device forum and check the App and themes section. You should find one there and if you're not still satisfied check put my YouTube Gcam Playlist for All Android and choose the particular today that serves your need. But I am not here today basically for how to find the best Gcam for your device, if you have found the perfect Gcam for your device, how well do you know the Advanced Settings.
Here I will cover the most important Advanced settings, there are few things in the Advanced Settings that may not result in any significant improvement or change on the picture you take but may still be important. It will be a long read so I'd you are as lazy as me and still want to see all the details, watch the videos or scroll down to continue reading.
#1 Best Gcam 7+Settings for All Android (Mastering Gcam Advanced Settings Pt 1)
This was based on Gcam 7.2 by Urnyx05 a very good and versatile Gcam port
#2 Gcam Best Settings for All Android (Mastering Gcam Advanced Settings Pt. 2)
In this one, we cut accross Gcam 6.2, 6.3, 7.2 and 7.3 advanced settings
#3 Gcam 7.3 Best Settings For All Android (Mastering Gcam Advanced Settings Pt. 3)
In this one we focused only on Gcam 7.3 using Parrot043 Gcam 7.3 v1 one of the most advanced Gcam 7.3
The main problem here is that your own Gcam Advanced Settings may look different from the one in the video so you might want to stick around for a little bit and learn what these advanced settings do.
We kick things off with HDR - High Dynamic Range settings.
This will include Advanced Settings for:
HDR+
HDR+ Enhanced
EV - Exposure Value
Exposure Compensation
The HDR settings (icon) to turn on and off HDR+ for Gcam is the same no matter the Gcam port you are using.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
While it is easy to just turn it on or off, the main action is in the Advanced Settings.
There quite some handful of settings under HDR+ Advanced Settings but we are going look at the most important ones.
JPEG Quality - 90 - 100% but there is no much difference in size so I'll recommend 100%
HDR+ Enhanced Frames - this is a big game changer and a setting to take note of if you install Gcam and your HDR+ or HDR+ Enhanced pictures looks raw or pale. Just bump the numbers up. The numbering of the frames differs from Gcam to Gcam so I 3rd or 2nd to the highest number
EV/Exposure Compensation - if your Gcam Advanced Settings have this for Night sight, tuned it to the highest (2.0) for daylight pictures it could be a little tricky. Higher EV can over-brighten day light images so you should. Exposure compensation brings in light generally to the image being taken while HDR ensures that the bright parts of of the pictures maintains its brightness while brightening the darker parts. Combining HDR+ and EV can help create amazing pictures in low light.
Auto Exposure Correction - if you haven't handled DSLR Cameras before now and very comfortable with its manual settings leave this one on Auto.
If you can't tell which type of picture that will require 1/30 secs of shutter speed or 1/300 or 1/2 secs then use Auto. General rule of thumb faster movement requires bigger fraction of seconds eg 1/1000 sec will capture more details and less blur for a moving object ot person more than 1/10 secs.
Binary (customs) library - this very important especially if the Gcam you are using wasn't ported directly for your device. The default library settings is Google but if your default pictures are not top notch even after tweaking the HDR+ and EV settings then you can try different custom libraries.
There could be ISO limit for HDR+
This setting controls the amount of light that goes into HDR+ from here you could choose to let in more light into HDR+. The default is usually OK but you can tweak it to your taste.
Color settings
Under this we are going to consider Saturation, Brightness, Sharpness, chroma denoise, luma, even tone curve.
If you have done any kind of post picture editing, you will conversant with all the words above.
Saturation adds more color to the picture, you won't see much difference with sharpness.
The tweaks for Astrophotography and night sight are better off seeing in the video up.
Thanks I was looking for this.

Best settings!
i cant use at all Gcam on Moto G9 plus on android 11, when HDR is set to pixel phones photos r nice but litle blurry out of focus? when i set HDR to Nexus or pixel 2 photos r sharp more details buto color r ****eed up and colours form objectw swim acroos the photo, ffs what bullsit
I think you can but only hardware guy can recover this
Hi everyone, I have a problem. When I change the "ISO/Exposure Time HDR+" setting under Advanced settings it does nothing not matter what setting i choose. I wanted to raise minimum shutterspeed to 1/100 to avoid camera shake as the camera by default chooses around 1/50 even outdoors if the sun is not shining. How do i change to a default higher shutterspeed?

Hi to all, since I got this phone I was wondering why the camera was so terrible in specific scenarios (Mostly on low light) and then I started to experiment with an app called SnapCameraHDR, which is the ''basic'' alternative to Gcam since samsung blocked RAW on specific thrid party apps, and gave us a lib file with LIMITED CAMERA2 API, This thread is aimed to those who want tho get the most of the Sony ExmorRS 258 sensor (Which is capable of a really decent things but Samsung just blocked some features).
By now, RAW is barely working in SnapCameraHDR but for some reason every pic is taked with a blueish tint. There is no fix for it yet because it needs lib editing and that's something that is out of my reach. If someone knows how to handle this kind of libs (uses Hex) and could contribute to get RAW propertly working could be awesome.
Ok, let's start, what we would need to have at least almost full MANUAL CAMERA CONTROLS?
REQUIREMENTS
1.-A rooted A20 (Only working on A205X).
2.-A custom lib (Thanks to @YasirArafatShihab and @tbm13 who edited the libexynoscamera3.so lib to get almost all manual camera controls working).
3.-A ROM that has R/W permissions in /vendor partition (Ilusion OS v1.1, and maybe others, need testing).
4.-Latest TWRP avaible for our device properly installed.
After having verified that all the requirements are met, we begin with the installation.
INSTALLATION PROCESS
File Explorer method. Download any Root file explorer, Download libexynoscamera3.so from this thread, copy it and then paste it in: /root > /vendor > lib > and paste it here (You will wonder if you want to replace an existing file, we will say yes.) > give chmod 0644 (Rw-r - r -)
(You can do this either in an Android file explorer or in TWRP file explorer)
CONFIGURATION PROCESS
After completing the installation process we need to Download SnapCameraHDR (The apk included in this thread is only a TRIAL VERSION, it wont work connected to internet, but it will work great if you disconnect the internet or if you add this app to a firewall block list)
After this, Open SnapCameraHDR and go to: three dot menu > Other > scroll down until your find USE CAMERA 2 API an set it to ON. and check USE OPENGLES 2.0
Presets camera modes and more
By default SnapCameraHDR comes with a basic configuration, Right now I'm using 2 personalizated profiles, one for good light conditions and other for low light conditions.
Good light SnapCameraHDR Config (HOLDABLE BY HAND)
Select in the lower dial the program preset you want to be the good light preset (P1, P2 OR P3) > open the three dot menu > set PICTURE Size to maximum avaible > keep focus mode on AUTO > scroll down to JPEG QUALITY and set it to BEST > keep POST PROCESSING OFF >keep METERING AREA, ISO AND SHUTTER SPEED on AUTO > enable Low Light Mode > set Low Light Frames to 9 > scroll down to PREVIEW SIZE and set it to maximum avaible > keep DENOISE OFF > keep SHARPNESS in 0
Low light SnapCameraHDR Config (TRIPOD OR SUPPORT NEEDED)
Select in the lower dial the program preset you want to be the low light preset (P1, P2 OR P3) > open the three dot menu > set PICTURE Size to maximum avaible > keep focus mode on AUTO > scroll down to JPEG QUALITY and set it to BEST > keep POST PROCESSING OFF >keep METERING AREA, ISO AND SHUTTER SPEED on AUTO > enable Low Light Mode > set Low Light Frames to 32 > scroll down to PREVIEW SIZE and set it to maximum avaible > keep DENOISE OFF > keep SHARPNESS in 0.
My recomendation is to use a Tripod or a Phone Holder in order to keep the phone as steady as you can, because every minimal movement could affect the sharper final processed photos using the 32 frames option.
HDR Tune (FOR BALANCED PHOTOS) (Thanks to @PaperGreg who posted his config in A10 forums)

Photo samples are down below, you can difference it because I've tagged SnapCameraHDR Samples, and they use IMG prefix at each picture.
(libexynoscamera3.so file is zipped in a .zip archive, you need to extract it because XDA format limitations)
FINAL VEREDICT
*Good light - Samsung Camera gives a great color palette, but it would be irreal because post processing, in the other hand, SnapCameraHDR gives accurrate colors, more closer to reality.
*Low light - SnapCameraHDR gives the best results with low noise and sharper details. Samsung Camera tends to use a high noise reduction, it's too aggressive that the photo loses too much detail.
UPDATE: NIGHT MODE SETTINGS (SAMPLES BELOW)
I've been working in a Night Mode update, and finally I can say that I've achieved a great goal, this config is v1, so maybe it can be upgraded. The next big step is to make something to improve video recording quality in low light and even in night.
Night SnapCameraHDR Config (TRIPOD NEEDEED)
Select in the lower dial the program preset you want to be the Night preset (P1, P2 OR P3) > open the three dot menu > set PICTURE Size to maximum avaible > keep focus mode on AUTO > scroll down to JPEG QUALITY and set it to BEST > keep POST PROCESSING OFF >keep METERING AREA on AUTO, set ISO to 6400 and SHUTTER SPEED to 1/2 > enable Low Light Mode > set Low Light Frames to 32 > scroll down to PREVIEW SIZE and set it to maximum avaible > keep DENOISE OFF > keep SHARPNESS in 0.
This config is aimed to offer the best luminosity, sharper details, and a high overall quality in night conditions,
IT'S MANDATORY TO USE A TRIPOD!!!
Nice work man
Keep it up
For anyone interested, this is the patch applied to the libexynoscamera3 library:

Here I attach the same photos but has been taken using Samsung camera, you can see the massive difference between Samsung camera and Snap Camera HDR.
