What is your device and Android version?

Android 4.4.4 CM11
Xperia Active (satsuma)
Every other camera app that i've tried works fine, without exception.
I bought the All-In-One IAP pack and was disappointed to not be able to use it.

I see. Let me know if you still have any problems with it. The problem is that we can't test with all devices on every ROM. And complexity is very high now, because we have lot's of different processing, not only capture image and save, as other cameras. Hope we'll cope with Android fragmentation soon for 100%

Yes. I still have the problem with the latest release. I bought the 'unlock all forever' option. It cost me £4. I've never been able to use it. Like I said before. Every single other camera app on Android works fine on my device.
Your app has been broken for the last year and a half, despite various updates. There's also the fact it's asking me to re-purchase the unlock now.
By far my worst software experience on Android since I first got a phone with Gingerbread. I'd recommend staying well away from this product until improvements are made.

Great app! But on LG G2 there is a "mw_continuous_picture" focus mode and your camera do not use it and so it is not able to turn on the flash to focus in low light condition. Please add support for that focus mode.
Thanks.

As I mentioned, it's rather complex software comparing to other apps. We're now concentrated on support all android devices with official ROM, after that we can check with CM. However we have feedback that it's working fine on some devices with CM.
If you have troubles - you should ask for refund. About asking to pay again - seems you bought using inapps. It's not possible to pay twice, but it can ask if data from play services wasn't updated on first start.

Currently we provide standard parameters. But will provide non standard soon.

Black Friday sale!!! Share with your friends! Great chance to get ABC for a minimal possible price!

We released new demo application. Currently it's available only for Nexus 5 users with Android 5. Later we'll add few more devices with Android 5 full camera2 API support.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.supersensordemo
What is Super Sensor? It's our all-in-one solution to improve camera!
Can be used:
- in low light - resolution improvement, noise reduction, shadow recovery
- when bright back-light causes object of interest to be lost in shadows. Super Sensor recover automatically and noise-free
- scenes with beach and snow - automatic adjustment of typical auto-exposure failures (no user interaction!). What should be white is white now. Low-contrast details are not lost but enhanced. Miniature details revealed.
- Due to DR enhancement by up to 18db, high dynamic range scenes are handled well by Super Sensor.
- Super zoom - presenting a zoomed-in image from mobile device can be a frustrating experience. Not with Super Sensor.
- Perfect for documents: superior resolution and contrast maximisation. Always.
Super mode will be available in A Better Camera new release
All provided examples are UNALTERED and taken on stock Nexus 5 with SuperSensor!

Unable to start camera
I tried the app and found it great. It was a week ago.
But the update had come and since then I had the "Unable to start camera" message.
HTC Desire, Android 4.4.4 Evervolv.

Is it possible for you to test few versions? We can't localize this issue.

Thanks for reply! We're already testing this issue. So I hope it'll be available soon!

Just tried SuperSensor on my N5 v1.5 (Feb 22nd) and it is fantastic, much better results than the first versions.
My choice camera app in GOOD LIGHT: for detailed 18MPx photos, digital zoom and in high contrast situations that Google Camera cant handle.
My only but is low light, here I find that Google Camera HDR+ mode is sharper (requires to boost exposure in editing though), probably because SuperSensor uses higher and noisier ISOs that blur detail?
THANKS!!!

Hi
I tried A LOT of cameras, yours for me is the best one!
Just a question: samsung stock camera has light metering modes, such as spot, center weighted, matrix, etc...
There's a specific issue for this lack of functionality on your (and other's) camera?

A Better Camera has auto, matrix, center-weighted, and spot metering too. Pull the settings panel down from the top; it's in there.

it depends on device. Not all devices support all these modes. Some have only center.

Hot pixels on rear camera photos after applyining APEQ software update

Greetings S7 users!
Well, after applying APEQ software update which updateted rear camera software too I noticed a lot of hot pixels on photos taken with my Galaxy S7 camera with ISOCELL sensor. I started a thread on the best known polish Android discussion board and I found that a lot of S7 with ISOCELL sensor users experience the same problems. Issues are almost always the same: pink or red or blue or white hot pixels on photos. The problem is the most visible with HDR Mode ON, less visible with HDR Mode Auto and little visible in Pro Mode or Auto without HDR.
So... I would like to ask XDA comunity to check if you experience the same issues:
-> just take some photos with HDR Mode ON and look for red/pink/white/blue spots on your pictures. You should see them even on your phone screen with a little magnification...
The problem is related with ISOCELL sensor and APEQ software update.
Sony sensors seem to be just fine.
This how the problem looks on my sample photo:
http://i.imgur.com/mXvykuM.jpg
I put those hot pixels in rectangles just to show you how those hot pixels look like.
I think there will be a huge problem for Samsung when users will mass RMA their devices...
Thanks in Advance!

I have a few pictures taking outdoors with lots of pink pixels. Was wondering if something was wrong but it doesn't happen anymore

I guess its only some bug in hot pixels removing algorithm.. nothing to wory about. Even dlsrs have plenty of those. Does your s7 has ff camera blur issue?
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA-Developers mobile app

I have some pink hot pixels also but only in HDR on... Havent seen them in older firmwares or so to say I didnt try to see it....needs to be fixed

Has anyone checked if this is fixed in the newest FW APF2?

I didn't have this at all so far. Running APF2 now. Nothing now too.

Got the issue on APF2. It's vissible only on night shot or pro mode.

I'm on APD1 Software on my S7 from Vodafone Germany.
Today I noticed that I have some really small black points and stripes on my camera.
No matter if I take pictures with stock camera app or with instagram for example.
If I zoom in these dots are away, so they are always at the same section.
I have Isocell sensor and I tried different camera modes.
It is there in videos too.
I cleaned the camera protection lens, but no improvement.

most camera sensors have them; typically software masks them. DSLR's its the nature of the beast. seems like an oversight in software/update.

There're a lot of hot pixels on attached jpeg file. I've noticed this effect only if ISO is set to 40. At 50 everything's OK. HDR is switched to always on.
Firmware version is G930FXXU1APD1
Sub version is MMB29K.G935FXXU1APE9

What's APEQ? Is that only for the international version?
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Very well open this post LockedSGS. I also happened me, only if I use the hdr function. Is it a software or hardware problem? I hope that it is software and is resolved with the next update. My version is G935FXXU1APEQ. Greetings fellow.

Sir,did you solve your problem ?
Mine brought a galaxy s7 from a local shop without any warranty and my images are very much discolored may be mine is refurbished one, i am disappointed,software check says its isocell, can you please post some indoor and outdoor images,FULL size image please, then i can check or compare

Hi,Does anyone know is this software bug resolved in the newest update released these days?

I have latest update and the same problem, random pink dots on low light photos.

I was wondering if someone without the pink dots issue could post their software info so I could download it from sammobile.
This is my current situation and I'm having issues.
I was looking for south east europe and poland versions to download them, but I found out that they are the same as the one I have. Well, as far as I can tell..
My baseband is still apeq.

[APK] Google Camera Port with Portrait Mode / HDR+ and many more features

Popular ports of the Pixel 2’s Google Camera bring Google’s post-processing technologies to a wide range of high-end devices. It took a few iterations, but the most recent releases support lens blur, bokeh adjustment, and high-resolution video recording modes on phones such as the OnePlus 3, the Samsung Galaxy S8, and the LG V30.
This week, XDA Senior Member miniuser123 fixed a niggling issue with Exynos-based devices: Portrait mode. His modified Google Camera app gets portrait mode — the camera effect that blurs out your selfie’s background and brings your face into focus — to smartphones with Samsung’s in-house Exynos processors, which include the international editions of the Galaxy S7, S8, and Note 8. With the app installed and a few tweaks applied in the Settings menu, it’s seamless — albeit a bit slower than devices with Qualcomm Snapdragon system-on-chips. And for now, it only works on the rear-facing camera.
Here’s how to get it up and running: Once you’ve installed miniuser123’s Google Camera APK, apply this configuration in the Settings menu:
Model: Nexus 6
Portrait mode on all models: on
camera.af.debug.show: off
camera.faceboxes: on
V6 :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zycetD_48ZsD9qu2gkw81hG9Xs0qzc5P/view?usp=sharing
Changes vs. V5:
-fixed bug which caused hdr+ shot failure sometimes!
-attempted to fix HDR+ portrait mode (can be activated by disabling portrait ZSL mode).
-added some description to "HDR+ parameters". For example: 8/10 burst, 1500 MB means: HDR+ operates with 8 shot bursts. Portrait mode (ZSL) operates with 10 shot bursts at most. Estimated total memory usage: 1500 MB (including camera2 api buffers).

Wow... Really looks amazing
Thanks for sharing and I'm waiting to fix Front Camera
But i think in portrait mode camera should be closer to the face

Crashes when switched to front camera. And my device(galaxy s7 Exynos) restarts when video is set to 60 fps. So far so good with the rear cam.

It's first biuld .. hoping to get stable version soon ..

Crashes when I switch to portrait mode I'm using s7 edge exynos superman rom

Does it work just on Nougat? Because I'm on Marshmallow and app doesn't start after install.

Thanks for your work. Observing the same issue. Front cam not working.

No dice, neither version 1.1 or 1.2 works, v1.1 dosn't give any changes in portrait mode or HDR+ and version 1.2 error out with " can't connect to camera"
Keep up your work, you will succeed

Pixel Camera Port?

Does anyone know of a google camera port that's working for the a7 (2018)? Thanks.

use the samsung s7 gcam port, works well with my a750f

It didn't work for me. Which version of gcam you are using?

It also didn´t work for me. When I tap the shutter it always goes to restart my phone. Which version and which settings do you exactly use, please?

I have read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a8-2018/help/google-camera-galaxy-a8-2018-t3840838/page2 and in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77603383&postcount=170 there is this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eKlaHEyw97QcOe8_6pgVmmLs0ho31KrK/view with GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__N6_1.8.apk
It`s working for both front and rear cameras (with active HDR too). I have tested literally every option including video and everything works ok and save correctly.
But for some reason even if full 24MP are selected in the settings I only get 8MP pictures which is really frustrating. I`ll continue my search for better working variant.
Here you can see some screenshots >

I'm using Google Camera Idan 1109 ver. 3.2.9 previous SG7Exy_v8 (exynos).
It is important that don't use a flashlight, just turn it off and after install reboot the phone.
Only one custom camera app works. Stock and one custom that's all.
My conclusion even the phone has a 24mpx the camera works terribly.
I have xioami 4x and it bits this A7 2018 as hell in google camera photo compare.
I don't know why the 24mpx camera is so weak.
Wide camera doing a good job

Does the portrait mode works for you? For me it reboots the phone.

It`s working alright. Both for rear and for the front camera. Also with or without flash, with or without hdr. Also with burst series (taking pics as fast I can press the button).
As I said in my previous post I tested every single option to see if it`s really stable and at least for me everything works really stable.
The only problem is that it doesn`t save them as 24MP even if it is set in the options. It`s always 8MP size.

Strange. My phone reboots every time I select the portrait mode. Did you change any configs?

Nothing aside in the settings you can see in the screenshot in my earlier post.
The only thing I did may be differently before installation was to turn off the hdr in the build in camera app as per advise from somewhere. After that I went and turn it on and there were no problems at all. So now I have normally working samsung camera app and the gcam one. I can switch whatever I want in the apps and there are no problems.
I also have another camera app - CameraZoomFX (paid) with turned on Camera2 API and it also work ok with every available setting. I have even used them all at the same time to test what would happen - well nothing really. Everything works ok.

Did you enable camera2api on your phone is yes. How?

From here
Btw yesterday I have tried many other versions for exynos cpus but only GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__N6_1.8.apk worked ok all around.
Most of the other apps crashed on the start or I got to the options but the apps crashed few minutes after that.

What app is this from?

I have already wrote it? Camera Zoom FX Premium https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom , but I think that the free version would also let you select this option.
Aside from gcam and camera zoom I am currently testing few other apps:
HD Camera Pro (paid)
LG camera 7.1
Camera FV-5
CameraMX
Open Camera
After more than 700 pictures taken side by side with each app I have come to the conclusion that as for sharpness, details and balanced light HD Camera Pro is the best for indoors and Camera Zoom FX for outside day and night photography.
This ordeal took me over a week to do but was worth it.
The only problems with all these apps is that none of them supports the wide camera, it`s only available in the integrated samsung camera app.
I still hope for some time in the future we will got our hands on fully functional Gcam port with wide camera support. And I think that it would beat all of the above apps. I hope it would happen sooner than later.

I think the same. I hope Samsung will fix this. Is it possible to disable bokeh effect? I hate it because details are terrible

I cant open Gcam in my A 7 2k18 what to do ? Every time i tap to camera icon it say camera keep stoping close app !

@Kalpsmart7 I somehow missed your post so I apologize for the late reply.
This is my way of fixing the problem.
Go into the apps section to the gcam app and force close it.
Then clear the cache for the app.
Then turn off HDR into the main camera app.
After that start the gcam app - it should start working normally.
Then you can go into the main camera app and turn on HDR again as it would not cause any more problems.
But as I said in my earlier posts although you can set the resolution at 24MP the end result will be in only 8MP.
I don`t know the reason for this problem but for now it`s like that. If I find other working port I`ll test it again.

GCam Collection, Configs & Discussion

​This is a collection of working Google Cameras (GCams) for the Galaxy A20 & A20e.
This thread is not in its final state and will be updated over time. If you want to add/edit something, feel free to tell me.
Important​All of the following GCams require to enable RAW Capture with this Magisk module.
This shouldn't be required on recent versions of Eureka ROMs. To check whether you need the module or not, download the Camera2 API Probe app. If the "Hardware Support Level" is set to "FULL" and "RAW capture" is available, you don't need to install it.

GCams​BSG's MGC 8.1​Download (I suggest you to download the com.samsung.android.scan3d version)
Advantages:
Very stable, handles all the cameras without any problems
LOTS of configurations, each camera module can have different settings
Disadvantages:
Slow performance, but this is expected in our low-end phone. However, other GCams are a little faster, specially when switching between modes (photo, video recording, night sight...)
Slow Motion doesn't work
Motion Tracking doesn't work
Astrophotography doesn't work
Configs:
@TBM13's config: Enables the wide camera and disables the zoomed front camera. On the back camera, increases sharpness, sets correct AWB model and enables motion photo. Download
@SerbianGeek 's config: Increases contrast and makes colors more vivid. Download
Tutorials:
Enable wide camera
Remember that your ROM needs to expose it. For more information check the FAQ below.
Go to Settings->Modules>White list then type 50 , press Ok and restart the app
Enable motion photos
Go to Settings->Global and enable "Motion Photo"
Go to Settings->Modules->Back (1.0) and set "Module hardware level" to "Level 3". This will make Motion Photo work on the back camera.
If you want to enable Motion Photo on other camera modules, repeat this same process on them.

FAQ / Issues​Black screen. Only video recording works​Make sure you installed the Magisk module to enable RAW Capture.
​Sometimes the phone lags / freezes / reboots while using GCam​This happens to me quite a lot. Sometimes the phone freezes and I have to reboot it holding volume down + power key, and other times it reboots itself. This is most likely a software issue on our camera library, and nothing can be done for now.
Closing all other apps before opening GCam seems to help a lot with both the overall performance and stability, so I suggest to do this.
Wide camera is not detected / doesn't appear​Your ROM needs to expose it. You can check this using the Camera2 API Probe app: if it's being exposed, you should see a camera with ID 50 at the bottom of the list.
Additionally, some GCams also require to change some setting.
How to expose the wide camera?​If your ROM doesn't expose the wide camera, as far as I know nothing can be done.
However, if you are using PHH's AOSP GSI or any other based on it (like LineageOS GSI, Pixel Experience GSI, etc.), you can expose it by going to Settings->PHH Treble Settings->Samsung Features-> Tick "Enable access to all cameras" and reboot.
Photos aren't saving when HDR is enabled​This seems to be an issue in newer GCams, like in BSG's GCams newer than 8.1.
I haven't found a fix for this.
Night sight photos are pinkish and blurry​This seems to be a common issue in all GCams.
A workaround is to lock AF/AE, which can be done by pressing any part of the screen to focus and then pressing the lock that appears at the top right.
This needs to be done every time before you take a photo with Night Sight.
Slow motion doesn't work!​I haven't found any GCam with working slow motion as of now. Seems like our phone just doesn't support it.

do you have a config file for a20 ?

How do I download? And which APK to download? Is it the "googlecameng" APK? After I click the APK it says "you are trying to access a temporary link."

Not right now. I will soon add two (mine, which just makes it easier to get the wide camera to appear, and another guy's config which modifies colors and contrast).

Yeah, they are all the same. I don't know why you're getting that message. What browser are you using?

Added the missing download URL.

Thanks!

Thank you!

I have cleaned the thread a little bit and also uploaded my config for BSG's 8.1 GCam. Most of its changes are on the back camera, as I made it for personal use and I don't really use the front and wide cameras. It'll probably be updated over time, when that happens I'll try to notify it by commething here.
