Question Gcam - Samsung Galaxy S21+

Hi as a new s21+ user I really like the photos that this device can produce when it is given plenty of light such as outdoor shots. But sometimes whilst taking pictures indoors photos can be a bit soft and lacking detail. In my previous samsung devices I could overcome this issue with gcam app. Anyone know if there is any gcam port for S21+?

I would suggest visiting this thread over at the S21 forum for now. It seems to be hit or miss. There's a few different ports which may or may not work. I have not been able to get any to work on my S21+ Snapdragon. You may have better luck than me.

you can use gcam telegram bot. it will give you proper gcam apk for the device snapdragon or exynos one. snapdragon device is more developer friendly though.

Can any GCAM developers please create a working version for Note 20 series?

I would be willing to pay money to support.
I know the N20U already has one of the best camera hardware out there but software-wise there are a lot of areas I do not like (saturation, color temperature etc...), as well as the lack of a dedicated astrophotography mode. I know all of these can be achieved in pro mode but I would prefer a simple GCAM that acts as a jack of all trades, as well as a master of easy astrophotography.

[REQUEST] Galaxy S20 Ultra/Note 20 Ultra Camera Port

Hi all,
I have no idea at all about this sort of thing. Assuming there's not a proprietary Samsung framework the Samsung camera app is dependent on, is it at all possible to port the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra/Note 20 Ultra Camera app the the Mi 10? Given the main camera module is much the same, would it not theoretically work?
Thanks,
K
Why though...?
gcam is miles and miles ahead ..

I disagree. I've used GCam with multiple XML files from here but the quality was never on par with the stock camera. Only the selfie camera seemed to benefit.

I assume you probably used old configs \ gcam versions?
Details wise, there is no comparison - gcam blows stock out of the water.
I do think that stock sometimes handle exposure \ colors better , but you can change gcam configurations to your liking.
No, I haven't used my own configs. As I said in my post I've used multiple XML files to load configs.
At 100% crop, the stock camera resolves much more fine detail than gcam.
EDIT: I used the latest versions linked in this thread.
I've since used the Burial version of the gcam app and I'm getting much better results although I'm not sure it blows the stock app out of the water. I'd still be interested to see how the Samsung camera app goes considering they share the same sensor and the Note 20 Ultra photos from the main camera are much better than the Mi 10 particularly in low light.

I can't download anything from that site. Linkvertise refuses to give me a link, even with all adblocks disabled and watching their stupid ads.

That site is trash. I tell you that I managed to download the apk, installed and use it. But you can't change between the rear cameras, you can't use the front camera (at leat I don't find a way to do it). So I'll keep using the Sammy camera and play a little more with pro mode.
This config works great on my S20 FE Exynos:- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fr2tTrKMKot_tJNp4wyyR6Vk-5hIXvP-/view?usp=sharing
Place the GCAM folder in your internal storage, open the GCAM app, double tap on the black area around the shutter button and select default.xml
**Please make sure you're using ZGCAM 6.1**
Night Sight is better than stock with a tripod.
I know this is for the S20FE Snapdragon but there is some info on config settings
[GCam] Google Camera for Galaxy S20 FE 5G | GCam 8.1 LATEST (cyanogenmods.org)
I've been playing around with this for a few days now. This is on the latest Wichaya apk which is still on 7.3 but it still works well for me:
Wichaya: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V3.1.1.apk

I've attached my config file for Snapdragon models. All lenses working with the correct label, selfie is showing the correct framing with no crop. Haven't tweaked many advanced features but for all intents and purposes the app is functioning as if it was made for this phone and I'm fairly pleased with the results. A few cons to this as it is not the latest GCam version and video is inferior but I tend to stick with the stock Samsung app for that.
Snapdragon only!
Have you tried Latest Arnova beta?Do you manage to make work auxialiary lens?I think quality is better with 8.1 version.
You can get tele working by setting tele id to 52. Wide and ultrawide are working oob.
If anyone has a good config for the latest arnova please do share. Snapdragon model. The ultrawide cam output is terrible and I can't tweak it, viewfinder is a bit blurry, autofocus only sosom telephoto takes a photo but gets stuck for a while on HDR+ processing. Sometimes the tele photo saves but it is really poor quality. Main cam works well. Still playing with the settings.
Trying to downloading
somebody posted a thread on reddit with a recommendation for a version of Arnova GCam and a link to both the apk and config.
it appears to be working with all cameras, I've only tested it briefly but if anyone is interested...

click the photo to visit the page... reddit links are strange lol.
Lol thanks yes looks like my config I posted in another thread.
in that case, thank you sir
*tip of the hat to you
EDIT: telephoto performance is abysmal for me. huge lag and what looks like digital zoom.
Here is my latest xml
I prefer a more natural look so have been trying to tone down the saturation a bit. Pretty happy with the results so far. Telephoto should work well.
Samsung S20 FE Snapdragon.

Do you have a snapdragon or trying to use it on exynos?

SD version, clicking on x2 or whatever it is makes the screen go black and stay that way until the app crashes in the background because I got bored waiting.

Weird. Maybe the XML didn't load properly. It shouldn't do that.

Question Petition : RAW Support for all cameras (inc.Telephoto not only main/ultra.w) on S21, S21 Ultra Exynos

The Samsung S21 series is an amazing flagship phone featured in 2021. It's great in many aspects. Though I think there are issues. The issue is that I don't think that we are getting the most out of this great hardware. Us owners of the S21 are not happy that a company which sells phones for over 1000euros won't add features which the users want such as full RAW support. We want RAW on all the cameras, not just the main and ultra wide ones. The telephoto cameras are not available in Pro mode. It would help people in many ways. Some people want the ability to do the post processing manually. This will result to get the most out of the photo if it was shot in RAW format.

Thanks for sharing and good luck!

General S21 plus exynos Gcam fully working ports

S21,fe and ultra have separate discussions for gcam ports,
S21+ don't
Please share your experience here about gcam ports.
Thanks in advance .
Hi
I tried a couple of gcam ports, and for now none of them worth trying out.
A lot of them don't even start. They either crash at the beginning or crashing while trying to save the first picture. The ones with com.samsung.android.ruler, are trying to update the stock camera; the other ones com.samsung.android.scan3d, are crashing.
For now I tried different mods from BSG, Arnova, Wichaya, Shamim and none of them worked.
The stock camera is quite good. I wanted to see if a gcam port can do something better.
Cheers!
Any updates here?
I tried Shamim 8.8 and the pictures have more detail and sharpness than the stock. Camera. Selfie videos work, selfie pictures don't.
