Gcam for Realms 5

This post is created to share the experience of using Gcam Mod on Realme 5. Mostly the versions of BSG for Mi8 or Poco F1 are also supported on our device, which is a good news. I have tried many of them and found that the version linked https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-80wps_h1Zg_e1ar7O3B3gu0xY_FMp2S/view?usp=drivesdk is working best for me.Almost everything is working. Kindly try the same and also other versions if you can from here https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/ give suggestions for the best stable Gcam version for our device. Kindly also share some samples in the link https://photos.app.goo.gl/qbk8cws4MbHL3SSi9 for others.
PS: - I have uploaded 4 photos 2 with phone camera 2 with Gcam mod using night sight and the difference is obvious as seen in the photos

Thanks man...
Nice thread..
I''ll download it

thank you sir

Gcam 7.2
Any new mod properly working on realme 5,plz let me know. Thanks

What doesn't work ( At least for me ) :
You cant use wide agle and macro lense.
60 fps video recording ( Refords 30 fps ).
Thaks for sharing this! HDR+ works wonderful!
Portrait mode Edge detection is horrible sometimes.
I wish 60 fps video recording would be supported.
Does anyone know a video recorder app that can record 60 fps on realme 5?

Is the Realme 5s camera moved to Realme 5? the hardware seems to be the same whether anyone has ever tried it

Hardware is not the same, I was under the same perception in A5 2020 and A9 2020
Even in A5 2020, there are two different suppliers of sensors depending upon region. Lower end version (CPH-1933) use 12MP sensor from Omnivision and higher end use Sony or Samsung (I don't remember exactly, but the exact sensor models are listed in a system xml file) 12MP sensor. (Sony IMX 386 I think while 2MP sensors are samsung's)

Working great https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.3a.apk

Is there a Google camera module for Realme 5?

7.3 partially working
installed and tested the MGC_7.3.020_RPII_v0f
- features working:
* taking photos in max resolution
* night mode
* videos in 30 or 60 fps
* portrait mode
- features not working:
* Shortcut to play videos does not work, playing from DCIM is totally fine though
* Slow motion does not respond and saves glitchy footage
* does not use the other lenses
So, that was my experience on that version

Hello all,
Is there a gcam mod for the Realme 5 after the Android 10/Realme UI update?
Thanks.

Hi, can this be used for the Realme 5i as well?

thanks

Thanks for this - great work. Definitely seems to capture better images than stock!
I've had GCam on my Oneplus 5 for years now and even that produces better images overall than the ZenFone 7 stock cam IMO!

I would love to see some sample pictures showing the difference.
Does this install just like the GCam for the ZF6 (i.e., you just have to run the APK)?

I'll try do a few comparison shots when I get chance. Someone already posted a couple in the regular ZenFone 7 forums (non Pro). And yes just install the apk.

Big thanks to everyone involved.
I'm receiving the 7 Pro sometime this week, and I will definitely give GCam a try. Are there any config XML files for this phone yet?

Could someone post comparisions? Especially in situations with high dynamic range and at night on a street. Thanks!

I will post some in about 9-10 hours for the ZF7Pro.

I'll try to post some outdoor pictures in the next day or two. These were basically the only pictures I could take with my kids in my face.
The national geographic bag was a low light situation.
In my opinion the Gcam pictures look better (in most ways) except the 3x zoom of the National Geographic bag. Please note there are two different Gcam versions of the "Onward picture." It almost seems like the Gcam
Here are some fairly close range 3x examples of the Zenfone 6 Gcam, Zenfone 7 Gcam and Zenfone 7 Stock. The Zenfone 6 did its best but digital zoom wasn't enough. The Zenfone 7 Gcam added strange dots that show up when pixel peeping. The stock Zenfone 7 software did a decent job.
I processed the 3x shots with some software that I have to see if I couldn't make it look a bit better.

So now I'm actually having a problem with Gcam.... This morning I downloaded the Gcam from this thread, everything worked great (that's when I took those pictures) it gave me options for the wide angle, 1x, 3x and 64mp cameras. I did a restore from my Zenfone 6 and now I have the gcam from the Zenfone 6. I deleted the Gcam and tried to reinstall the one from this thread and now I keep getting the Zenfone 6 version with just the 1x camera instead of the other options.
Any ideas?

You need to clear app data to reinitialize default config

Brilliant, thank you. I deleted the cache data and all of the "app data," and it worked.

The 3x on the GCam definitely adds lots of little dots, which are visible without pixel peeping. It seems to be some type of error. If this can be resolved in future updates, it will really improve the functionality of the Zenfone 7 Pro's 3x capability.

I think it's because the telephoto sensor has "limited" Camera2 API level. Same with the ultrawide one. Only the main sensor is Level_3, apparently. Although this should be easily fixed, since the bootloader can be unlocked.
What do you think, @mickey36736 ?

Telephoto use OmniVision sensor which is a well known for dots issue and hard to fix. There is a work around by adjust some lib patcher for tele to reduce dots. Not depends on Camera2 API level.

Thanks for the work and the samples. Does flipping the camera for front facing images also work?

Yes it does

I just got the 7 Pro and tested it extensively with stock camera and this GCAM version. As a comparison I used my Pixel 3 also with an enhanced CGAM version. First I ran into some issues:
- HDR plus (not enhanced) is not working when the camera is in selfie mode. Full HDR plus does work. This means outside HDR plus enhanced images in HDR scenes have VERY badly overexposed parts and simply are unusable. Turn the camera back and everything is great. Sadly I do not like the look of HDR plus enhanced (night mode is also a workaround)
- In selfie mode the app does not recognize, that it has a full fledged flash. It only offers sefie light (lit up screen around the viewfinder).
- Colors in low light scenes are too muted. This goes especially for skin tones.
Apart from that the cameras perform very nice. Using night mode on the zoom lens even in better lighting conditions gives very good results. But overall it falls short of what even a Pixel 3 can deliver on its main camera. Sure, in perfect conditions the cameras are very capable - with GCAM and without. But Pixel is sooo much more consistant! Being able to consistantly getting better pictures of faces in low light (selfie or not) even when awkwardly taking selfies with the Pixel's main camera than with the Zenfones flip camera is a no go. I am honestly very saddened; I had high hopes.
(Just a disclaimer to not come across as someone too fixated on selfies: As this is the "killer feature" of this camera and its main gimmic, this was a focus of my testing.)

One thing I noticed is that the front camera id 1 use ultra wide sensor with cropped resolution at 6.5 mp instead on main camera due to camera2 api. No idea why asus did this but this is the reason why the ultra wide lens doesn't perform as good as the main back camera.
Plus newer Gcam require a lot of individual tweaking by lib pacther settings. Once you try to play around with lib patcher. You realize how much headroom can improve photo quality to suit your tastes. It may not be as simple as the pixel because of different sensors setup but you can tweak as much as you like.

I'm finding there's a lot of noise in some lighting conditions on the gcam wide angle lens. Anyone else found this? I've tried tweaking all the denoise settings but can't seem to get rid of it. It's strangely in the outer edges of the shot. Also, such noise is present on stock wide angle too at times.
Though very interestingly, stock night mode used in the same shot with the wide angle pretty much eliminates it.

Question How to install ANX camera?

Hello guys, I want to install arrow rom, but it doesn't have miui camera, so I tried to find ANX camera for poco x3 pro but I couldn't find any, is there any way to install miui camera on arrow rom?
Thanks in advance

There is no fully working anx camera as of now afaik

GCam development with BSG 8.1 and various XML and Libs (alternative NGCam for Selfie/Dark) is at a good state. Most insiders wait for the release of the Arnova GCam for PX3P (curently in closed beta). I'm looking for GCam Video EIS as smooth as Stock Cam Steady Video. So far found no GCam able to achieve that. if possible I will move away from MIUI debloated to crDroid.

You know MIUI will restrict other apps performance by default right?
Video and Photo requires a lot of calculations and adjustments.
So for GCam to be steady on MIUI, you have to go to "Game boost" and then add GCam into the "game" list. This way, GCam can use the spec of the MIUI phone in better performance.
You may want to try it as in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unleash-performance-in-miui.4276791/

@pl1992aw thank you very much. I suspected battery saving actions like freeze in background etc. but not that the performance of Apps in the foreground will be heavily limited. So this is new to me as this is the first time I use MIUI for a longer time and daily use.
I did add all GCams to Security > Game Turbo but did not notice a huge improvement in MGC by BSG 8.1.101 EIS - however it is difficult to reproduce videos with the same "shakiness" when not having two PX3P connected. The Stock Cam Steady Video seems still considerably "smoother" when walking the same path. For pictures and everything else I would gladly move to a CustomROM (favorite crDroid)

S10e Snapdragon - Fully Working gCam ?

Hello all!
I have an S10E Snapdragon running LineageOS 18.1 (ROM is beyond0qlte).
Wondering which gCam & config file works the best for you. I'm just looking for something that works and produces a decent photo. Currently, the version I'm using, MGC by BSG v8.1, seems to take okay pictures but the front camera does not work. I think this has something to do with a libpatch? The many Telegram threads, which I am appreciative of, are very confusing on how to accomplish this.
Thanks for your help!!

I use this version of gCam with the configs applied to it on the G9700 with PE12.1.
All three cameras work. But:
1. There is no possibility to shoot video in 60fps
2. It is not possible to switch between wide and ultra wide when shooting a video
The picture quality is not perfect, sometimes you want a little more sharpness or focus.

One more GCam mod
Nice work on G9700 with PixelExperience 12.1
60 fps video works on stock

Question Is there any GCam port for Poco X4 Pro

I did some shots with the Poco x4 pro stock camera but the quality is not quite good because the pictures are like blurred with no focus even if you do manual.
Is there any way to install the GCam with good quality for this device?
Thanks in advance

Hi. I don't want to start a new topic, but it's about the camera, so I'm writing here. I often shoot at night for a long exposure. In the basic camera application in PRO mode, you can choose UW or WIDE optics. When using WIDE, however, only 15s exposure can be selected, 30s exposure is not possible. In UW mode, the exposure length can be set to 30s, but the night quality of UW against WIDE is terrible, practically unusable for me. Don't you know why it is not possible to choose a 30s exposure on this phone in PRO mode for WIDE optics? I looked at friends' other Poco and Xiaomi phones and the option is normally there. Thanks for the reply.
