Google Camera Mods​
Hi everyone. Finally i'm happy to say that i've successfully fixed/ported/changed 3 different version of Gcam that are fully working for our device! This versions are based on @miniuser123 , @Arnova8G2 and @oganyan-arthur .
First of all i'm not a developer i'm just a student of electronic engeneering that enjoys taking pics and that enjoys much more Google's Camera than Samsung's one!
I struggled a lot to make those apk working (that is == to waste time instead of studying for my courses ) beacuse i've never been into this field so don't expect anything more from me.
How to Install
Steps:
- Uninstall your current version of Gcam
- From smart manager clean up the memory (YES, sometimes it's needed beacuse after i tried a lots of different verisons of Gcams i messed up something more then the app cache itself)
- Install the app
- After the first setup close (or better force close) the app to apply all the settings
- Done!
V8.3b Base
Stability: Medium
v0 Features:
- User friendly version with remade settings menu and some stability improvements
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KxDUQsYJkfttKlvLDU4HAC5ciHKBPGkl | Mirror
Stability: Good
v1 Features:
- Some extra setting (RAW funcitons, Lens Blur Nexus 6 HDR config)
- Completely changed settings menu with new icons
-Change descriptions and added some to have a better understanding of the menu settings (No-ZSL means that value wouldn't apply if you are on ZSL mode)
-Set to best configuration for our device (If you need to take photo with moving objects change Auto-exposure mode) to something faster
-Removed some dependencies from google for less ram consumption
-Some stability improvements
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qBSYDJeWCmDAvcgLByy6B3t-rfVB1dSm | Mirror
Stability: Good
v2 Features:
- Merged all the v8.2b extra featuers so i removed it (Hope no more people will ask what is the best verison :angel: )
-Removed some slow shutter option that where unstable but there are new ISO options now
-Now Lens blur and portrait are usable both (not need to deactivate one or another)
-Added toggles for snapdragon users that had pink portrait problems and to fix white level
Clean install is a MUST. After the first boot of the app make sure you force close and re-open it
https://drive.google.com/open?id=13Uyifaqd4XvltCYj-H-TFVOfk5usEdp2 | Mirror
Stability: Good
v2.6 Features:
- Removed the time max exp stuff

-removed some unstabled option (lens blur 12mp option still cant sermove the 60 fps in video option so it wont work)
-fixed the higher exposure
-as always i set best settings to deafult based on what people report me
-disable hexagon like @cstark27 suggested the interface could be more smooth
Clean install is a MUST. After the first boot of the app make sure you force close and re-open it

Stability: Good
v2.8 Features:
-fixed slow shutter (let me know)
-added x8 again seems a bit more stable now. But still sometimes you get into blackscreen
Clean install is a MUST. After the first boot of the app make sure you force close and re-open it
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FDdektLylUNz6azqUghTLas3M-FbmG_9 | Mirror
Stability: Good
v2.9.2 Features:
-Added 12.6 MP Lens Blur
-Changed some noise reduction code that could increase the definition of the photos
-Changed allocated mem to test if it's a little bit faster the processing
-Added italian language (and soon probably spanish and french)
-Rearranged a bit the menu the have to most used stuff on the very first settings menu
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Qu_90fKH5_EiDM8v6nzCl2ATfEMPtFpa | Mirror
Stability: Good
3.1 Features:
- Added "wavegenerator" lib that allow higer ISO values
-Changed allocated mem again so that the app should not allocate unneeded RAM
-Added languages ES,FR, PT-Brasil,RU (thanks to @jujusito @Sergey @corentin @samoel and all who helped for translation)
-Rearranged a bit the menu the have to most used stuff on the very first settings menu
-Added bitrate settings for video(still 60 fps don't work) you can go up to 100 Mbps
-Other minor changes
I aimed to do a no config apk for exynos s8. That means that now you don't have to restart or forceclose the app after the clean install to set the settings. Everything should be ok now the only issue i found is that sometimes, after the first install only, beacuse i forced the camera selector to choose Pixel 2017 HDR, the app may crash but just after the first install and in no other situation.

Stability: Good
3.1.2 Features:
-enabled by default "temporal binning". Can improve processing time
-fixed the exposure of HDR+ enhaced mode on front camera for s7 users
-changed the Very High HDR config. Now will take a fixed burst of 20/24 (Pixel 2017/Nexus 6) processing time is longer but we can try to compare the result with (8/10 burst). As always you MUST restart the app to apply those settings!!
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qGNVtTXgc1dGE-eoA9tmQAwvhTgysgVW | Mirror
Stability: Good
3.2 Features:
- Now you can select the path where to save the photos (doesn't work on sd card but probably can work with some xposed mod. I've tried to make it work with a magisk module and it works but the preview in gallery is broken).
- Removed all the snapdragon toggles. The app will know when apply that settings (if i forgot some devices just PM me with your device CODENAME and i'll add it or tell me what are the config. you use for your device)
- Removed custom denoise param and other settings
-Now the app will restart every time you go back from settings to the viewfinder. This means that you don't need anymore to restart the app to apply settings
-Now there are three gestures in the viewfinder:
1. double tap on the black area it will pop the exposure menu directly
2. long-press on gallery and it will open samsung gallery instead of google photos
3. long press on the switch camera and after the restart the viewfinder brightness will be set to maximum
- some minor changes and dark theme now as default theme

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why the app is not installing?
A: Make sure you uninstall first the previous version
Q: Why i'm getting "parsing error" or errors when i try to install the apk?
A: Download the apk with the browser and NOT with the Drive app or use mirror links.
Q: Why i have still pink potrait mode?
A: Follow the Install instructions.
Q: Why slow-motion/ 60fps (or whatever you want)
A: Because i don't see the point of doing videos with Google Camera Ports beacuse Samsung camera it's doing a good job on that.
This doesn't mean i wont fix them either.
Q: On the device XYZ the app is not working.
A: I only support S8/S8+. I know on other Exynos devices it works (N8,S7,S6) so maybe i can take a look for them. If you ask for everything else i will just ignore your report.

A little bit of boring theory
Introduction
Everyone in this thread is asking for what are the best options? The short answer is default. The long answer is it depends. To get the best results out of this mod you need to understand what all the options are and how they work. It is more similar to a professional camera where you have all the strange options to play with and you don't know what they do. You start changing all the values and then when you take a picture you are like "wut is this i took a picture of this beautiful panorama and it looks like a Picasso painting". To avoid that situation keep reading this post so you can understand what i'm talking about.
The basics
First of all before taking any picture you need to clean the lenses you are going to use. This seems to be trivial for someone but this are the results if you don't do it.
Clean vs. Dirty
The settings
Here you can find the explaination of what the settings do and how they work. I will add more in the future. If you don't know what shutter speed is or ISO google is your friend.
-Config. HDR+ camera
Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto: more dynamic range and quality (less noise). You can set all the Auto-Exposure modes but as downside you have the shutter lag so you should be careful to find the right time to shoot a photo with moving objects.
-Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+: (ZSL = zero shutter lag HDR+)
Less dynamic range, and more noise in low light because slow shutter mode is NOT available. However it is much better in good/medium light if you make photos of moving objects, because it processes images already taken in the background. In low light, or high contrast scenes please use Enhanced HDR+
-HDR+ parameters:
It is recommend using one of the Pixel 2017 options, because they should be more stable regarding memory leak.
"High", "Very high" and even "Default" leak memory if pixel 2017 config is used.
Description for "HDR+ parameters": for example 8/10 burst means that HDR+ operates with 8 shot bursts. Portrait mode (ZSL) operates with 10 shot bursts at most. In my personal opinion Low or Very Low HDR+ are very similiar or equal to High or Pixel values but people prefer higher values for reasons uknown.
-HDR+ Auto-Exposure mode No-ZSL:
Everything that is No-ZSL means that will not work if "Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+" is set for the back camera!
If you want to use custom Auto-Exposure and HDR+ for front camera you have to disable "Portrait ZSL mode".
"Slow shutter" will decrease shutter speed as much as possible in bad light. The result: much lower ISO and noise. Of course fast moving objects will probably get blurry more easily.
Slow shutter x8 is not stable for front camera but you can use x4 or x2. The max exposure time is 1/3 for the slow shutter x4.Sometimes you can get in trouble with x4 if you take a picture then you look at the gallery (black screen). But you wont have any problems if you take multiple pictures and then switch to x2 and look ad the gallery.
Selecting "Stock camera2 api" will get rid of rainbow effect, but dynamic range is poor, because camera can't underexpose fast enough if auto shutter control is on.
-Antibanding modes
Anti-banding allows the camera to avoid problems caused by artificial light sources that are not constant (flicker for want of a better description) these are typically florescent tubes but also multiplexed bulbs and PWM controlled LED’s (and your TV screen for similar, if not quite the same reasons) These sources cycle (flicker) fast enough to go unnoticed to the human eye, appearing continuous, they key word here being human. The camera’s eye (its sensor) can still see this flicker.
Only select 50hz or 60hz (dependig on where you live) in case of banding problems, because it can cause suboptimal shutter speed otherwise! Works up to 1/149 sec shutter speed.
-Denoise strength for HDR+ and portrait
Self explanatory. It will increase the denoise strenght for higer values.
For front cam you need to select about 2-300% to really see the difference. Back cam is much more sensitive to this setting.
-Underexposure multiplier (HDR+ dynamic range control)
Reduce below 100% to decrease rainbow effect. Should also overexpose if set to 0 with a good light source. Higher values means lower exposure.
-Samsung specific metering modes
Touch to expose is enabled by default. So won't have the touch to focus option. With "Centered" mode it will focus what it is in the center and then you can adjust the exposure by touching the area! This is a good option beacuse if you want to get the best results from HDR+ you'll need to adjust the exposure only and not the focused object at the same time.
-Samsung Live HDR mode:
Adds some dynamic range to modes where HDR+ is not available like zero shutter Portrait mode. No Rainbow effect in HDR+ mode if this is selected, but noise is encreased if isn't used in place where you don't have a good light source!
-Custom White Balance:
You can lower greens, or whatever colour you want (This would affect HDR+ ONLY). Adjust it accordingly to your taste!

What is the difference of the version 8.3 beta published by miniuser123 with the one published here?

Pixel ZSL mode now works on s8 now in this model.
If u can eliminate the processing time in s8 oreo, it would be great. Earlier in nougart it took much much less time to process afterwards. But since oreo it takes abt 10 second to process the photo after clicking.
Also if u can get slow shutter x4 and x8 working properly in low light.
Anyway thanks for your time.

Which are you recommended for HDR and portrait?

How can i enable RAW on the mod8.3b Variant ? Thanks for your hard work!

Can u add mirror selfie also.

I think slow shutter x2 forces shutter speed to 1/4 so it makes it slower when shooting it also makes the camera driver default sometimes crashes because it is not auto sensor, especially if backlight conditions are very difficult to force into a speed of 1/4 so sometimes do not want to take pictures .. btw if you want slow shutter x4 and x8 work in lowlight try to increase underexposer to 200. coz underexposer value gives the signal a dark light condition, the higher the darker the camera is to run the slow speed for the shutter to brighten the photo.

If any one dont mind then i can ask something?
What is ZSL?

Zero Shutter Lag
In this mode the camera app takes photos continuously, even before pressing the shutter, so when you press the shutter, it just processes and saves the pictures that were already taken.

great, will try when upgrade to O from Nou on FE ^^ thanks in advance!

Can you please stop worrying about snapdragon? They have so many apks working for them.​

Currently using Arnova8G2's Pixel3Mod v1 with great stability and image quality on a G950U. The only issue is the app crashes when switching to 4K video for either rear or front camera and no ZSL feature. Everything else works including Slow Motion and AR stickers.

Thanks for the help! I tried this build but it's still very unresponsive. Not sure how exactly it works for you and yet somehow it doesn't work for me. Given that we both have the same Chinese version it doesn't make any sense. However I tried the latest build available from this developer (MGC_6_1_021_xcam6_beta2.apk) and it works very very well! I would even say it's close to perfect. It's just the slow motion which doesn't work at the moment.
It seems the GCam builds maintained by xtrme are the only ones which work with the Chinese version of the RN7Pro. Although these builds are aimed at MI 9, they work for the RN7Pro as well since both of them have the exact same camera sensor.
P.S. Any particular camera settings you are using with GCam? Did you import the XML config file?

I don't use any config files.
Only enabled Pixel 2 awb, remove iso limit in dark , no enable auto exposure, and enabled dynamic black lvl.
Worked perfect on chinese rom, working perfect now on global rom.

I tested Arnova8G2 Advanced 1.4 and xtrme's xcam6_beta3. Photo, 4K video and nightshot. Both works fine.

Nope. On the Note 7 Pro, none of the versions (including this one) works perfectly. The portait mode still freezes on my Note 7 Pro from China. The Night Mode does work with this one though.

I've the Chinese note 7 pro and this one works well except for slow motion

Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I've been doing a lot of testing with several GCam builds on the Redmi Note 7 Pro and I finally found one which gives amazing results. Although it isn't specifically tailored for the Sony IMX586 sensor as we find with other GCam builds developed for the Mi 9 (such as the one modded by xtrme), for some reason it produces much better photos with better color accuracy, details, sharpness, exposure and dynamic range. This GCam build is modded by bulkin043 and it is tailored for a variety of different devices such as the Redmi Note 5 / Pro (whyred), Redmi Note 7 (lavender), Mi A1 (tissot), Mi A2 (jasmine), Mi 6x (wayne) and Mi 8 Lite (platina). During my extensive tests I've found this build to be exceptionally stable with smooth transitions when switching through menus and a very responsive UI.
This build is packed with a lot of great settings such as "Custom Eszdman v2.2" quality level for NightSight, Camera API2 "Metering mode", "ISO priority", and "Lens distortion correction", "Lens blur resolution" and many other unique features. Best of all it comes with a dedicated interface theme (Auto/Light/Dark) which automatically adapts to daylight or night-time conditions. Photobooth and Slow Motion aren't working unfortunately, but that's the case with many GCam builds and so it remains a work in progress.
The only bothersome issue with this build is due to the fact that it permanently crashes video mode when selecting 60fps. Please avoid this framerate for now, or else you will have to reinstall GCam to gain access to video mode again.
This Google Camera is based on the 6.2.030 version and you can download it from > HERE
I will share below the optimal settings for the Redmi Note 7 Pro (after having it thoroughly tested I've found these particular settings to give the best possible results):
[Libs]
Default from Google
[Base settings]
Back camera > Pixel 3a XL/with Pixel 3a config (perfect balance between noise control, details and sharpness with accurate exposure) or Pixel XL/with Pixel 3 config (increased noise, details and sharpness with slightly higher exposure)
Front camera > Pixel 2 XL (good colors, details and sharpness with more noise control) or Nexus 5X (greater details and sharpness with slightly more noise)
Config > Pixel 3a/with Pixel 3a XL and Pixel 3 XL AWB or Pixel 3/with Pixel XL and Pixel 2 XL AWB
[Saturation]
Front Camera > Highlight Saturation (1.9) / Shadow Saturation (2.3)
Back Camera > Highlight Saturation (1.0) / Shadow Saturation (1.6)
[Noise reduction]
Back camera > Activate
Front camera > Activate
DO NOT enable HDR+ Denoise!
[Enable these toggles]
> HDR+ Control
> Save to /DCIM/Camera
> Quick auto exposure settings
> Remove the ISO limit
> Portrait/Disable zoom
> Recompute AWB > On (mandatory!)
All other settings remain on default
NOTICE: Keep in mind that these settings have been tested only on the Redmi Note 7 Pro (China variant). For other compatible devices supported by this build you will have to experiment with the settings yourselves.

I've tested the latest xtrme GCam build and I'm very pleased to see Pixel AWB has finally been fixed. We are getting very close to a true Google Camera performance on the Mi 9 and Redmi Note 7 Pro. File size is also correct and image quality is closer to MIUI stock camera (exposure/highlight conservation is still better on stock camera though).
You can download the latest GCam build developed by xtrme from HERE
After trying various settings I've managed to find the best configuration which provides amazing image quality, with great detail, sharpness, color reproduction, noise control, exposure and dynamic range. There's one single XML config file suitable for both daytime and nighttime conditions which you can download from HERE
Here's a tutorial on how to import/export XML config files for GCam
For NightSight you need steady hands as image processing is slower, but provides maximum quality. There's also a small annoyance with my config as NightSight suggestion doesn't work with BSG Config PixelPlusNS Hdr+, but this issue will eventually be fixed.

Thanks so much @vlachorumsapiens

For some reasons, the latest GCam from xtreme is not working good for me. Even after using your config files, colors are still not realistic. I am using Arnova's latest and it is working great right out of the box.

Not sure why it's not working well for you. Which version are you using from Arnova? Is it the latest 2.0 version?

[Updated XML download link for xtrme GCam]
> disabled noise reduction settings completely (BSG Config PixelPlusNS Hdr+ module does enough noise reduction on its own)
> decreased HDR+ frames to 7
> set correction NightSight to "Off"
The result is faster image processing, reduced time for capturing photos with NightSight, increased details and sharpness with less chances to end up with blurry photos.

I've tried Arnova's version and it's actually very similar with xtrme's version. Color reproduction is pretty much the same when using certain libraries like "Default from Google" or "CSeUs", in combination with BSG Config PixelPlusNS Hdr+ and Pixel 3 XL for base settings. However what Arnova's GCam lacks is a special library called Xlib v2.2s which provides far better details than any other library, with much better exposure in the shadows. I've tried many different builds with many different settings, but none can come close to this one. NightSight is absolutely amazing, but image processing is slower than on Arnova's GCam because it needs more time to capture more light and apply the adequate post-processing. But the trade-off is worth it. Slower processing and maximum quality is better than faster processing and lower quality. It should come as no surprise since xtrme's version is the only build specifically tailored for the Mi 9 which has the exact same main camera sensor as the Redmi Note 7 Pro. I just don't understand why it's not working well for you. But otherwise Arnova's version can take decent photos nonetheless. I think it's a bit better than the versions modded by bulkin043 and BSG when it comes to color reproduction and NightSight.

I've tried Arnova's version and it's actually very similar with xtrme's version. Color reproduction is pretty much the same when using certain libraries like "Default from Google" or "CSeUs", in combination with BSG Config PixelPlusNS Hdr+ and Pixel 3 XL for base settings. However what Arnova's GCam lacks is a special library called Xlib v2.2s which provides far better details than any other library, with much better exposure in the shadows. I've tried many different builds with many different settings, but none can come close to this one.

I've again tried xtreme's version of GCam and it's working fine now. But there is one issue that the phone lags extensively after taking a photo until it processes.

Yes. That's the downside of this version of GCam. Image processing is slower than on other versions, but image quality is the best.

Google Camera Port
Stable versions and configs for the OnePlus 9.​
A discussion thread for GCam mods compatible with the OnePlus 9. Let's use it to find stable versions for this device.
Features:
- HDR+ Enhanced, Night Mode, Astrophotography, Portrait Mode, Timelapse, Motion Photos, Lens Blur, Panorama, Photo Sphere, Photobooth, Motion tracking.
- Video, Timelapse, Slow motion.
- Support for extra cameras (the ones allowed by OnePlus...).
- AR Playground/Stickers (follow this guide).
Bugs:
- Video quality is better on the stock camera, specially video stabilisation and slow motion.
- Due to OnePlus' decision to restrict access of 3rd party apps to the extra cameras on Android 11, you'll need to use specific "package names" (eg: use the links on this thread). Some cameras may still not be available even with the right apk due to there restrictions.
How to:
1. Download APK (pick the first one if in doubt).
2. Download config file (often not required, but may help with quality).
3. Install APK file.
4. Load config file.
A short video tutorial is available for new users.
Downloads:
- = Recommended version.
- To avoid issues when viewing media from inside GCam, install the Google Photos app (can be used without uploads/Google Account).
GCam 8 (Android 10+):
- Arnova8G2: GCam_6.210329.0153build-8.1.101 (2021-03-29, configs)
- Wichaya: GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.4 (2021-08-03, configs)
I'll try to keep this post updated with info from the telegram group, but please, leave feedback.
Thanks:
To devs like Arnova8G2, BSG, Urnyx05, defcomg, and many other modders and testers that have contributed over the years.

[Old APKs archive]
- Wichaya: GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.3 (2021-07-13, configs)
- Wichaya: GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.2 (2021-07-01, configs)

Very nice !!

Just tried Arnova8G2 on Lineageos 18.1, but it would never open and eventually crashes. Instead I am using the Wichaya build with default config, which works quite well.

Thanks for This !

Bad news everyone... Access to the auxiliary cameras (macro, telephoto, wide, etc) is blocked on OxygenOS 12 (Android 12).
Do not upgrade to OOS 12 if you need GCam (or any other camera app) to work on these cameras.
Everything should work fine on custom ROMs though.

I thought the same. It's all there built into the zoom under photo. All 3. Just not in individual categories.. I'm on A12 oxygen os for the global op9. So good news is the update is pretty awesome except live caption being broken.

I can't find photo booth option

Which is the best gcam app and config for our phone, I have tried several and best one seems to be Wichaya's 8.1

hi,
someone have gcam on oxygen os 12 c.44 update??
I tried MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVp_snap.apk and Wichaya without any config and it works but seems really buggy and often slow.

Bringing this thread back to life, as I found a very good working Gcam port for the OP9.
it was posted in the Oneplus 9 Pro forum by Arcide. On page 12, he posted an updated APK. Go here and look for the LMC8.4_R9_snapcam.apk
Link here: LMC "Snapcam" v8.4 R9
I spent quite a bit of time today using it, and comparing it directly to the OOS cam that is currently on my OP9 (unlocked Tmobile version, running OOS/Android 12). I made lots of little changes until I was able to get results that I feel are better than the OOS camera.
Try my .xml file below, and let me know how it works for you.

Seems like this particular version of GCam doesn't support 4k on android 12. and only 4k/30fps works on android 11.
I'll keep checking for an update, but so far, there is no fix for this yet.

Hey Mike, I have Lineage 19.1 installed on my Oneplus 9 (LE2110) using LMC8.4 Release 9. With your config it results in the camera crashing whenever I click on "Wide" above "1.0x"
I then have to clear storage/cache in LMC8.4 to be able to open it again.
I faced the same issue with Arcide' config when ever I would click on " 3.3x" (I know I can't use 3.3x because I am using a OP9, just explaining that I have the same resultant camera crash)
If you could help me or perhaps give me any troubleshooting tips, I would be very appreciative. ❤
** I have attached a screenshot showing which button I am pressing to cause the crash, my android build and also version of the LMC8.4 I installed.

hmm, not really sure why it's not working on your phone. One thing you can try, is to re-define the wide camera. I noticed that on stock OOS, I had to set the 2nd camera to the telephoto setting in the app, even though it's the wide angle. it's like the address for telephoto and wide cams are switched in the settings.
Try this - when you first open the camera, tap the gear icon to show the settings.
Then tap on "more settings"
scroll down to "Additional Cameras" and tap that option.
- unselect "Tele Camera"
- select "Wide Camera"
See if that works.

Yeah tried that. Facing the same issue. I also run into scenarios where if I open the camera within another app I end up with a 90° rotated view.
Oh well, time to try a clean flash from scratch. Will try NikGapps this time. I am just seeing if the version of google apps I use has any affect on the outcome. Have already tried with OpenGapps and MindTheGapps.
Sorry one quick question, do you think perhaps removing the default camera app could have done this? I am trying to go through a methodical elimination of possible causes.

While I don't think that would be the cause, It might have other negative effects - like I noticed that some apps will look for the stock camera instead of the Gcam. At least on the OOS, some actions that call on the camera will end up opening the stock cam instead of gcam. so I just left it on my phone.

yeah, you are correct. I ended up making some adjustments after taking some more photos outside. go to settings, then tap "more settings"
Then Processing functions -- Color correction
under color correction, the 2nd group of settings says "Auto-CT Color Correction". Under that choose main camera, and under the advanced settings, tap CCT WB Offset, and change it to "1.0".
you can do the same thing for the tele camera. that should bring the temperature back from being too yellow. you can make these values negative if you want the photos to be cooler (more blue).

Do you have a OnePlus 9 config for 8.4 r12 fix 1?

Question GCam for Exynos

After some searching I found a reliable version of GCam for Exynos.
It was posted over here https://www.sammyfans.com/2022/05/22/download-gcam-mod-for-samsung-phones/
I tried Shamim versions before but I had problems where the phone froze after importing settings files.
I did freeze after switching from camera to video, portrait, ...
The version in the link above is v13, when I import the accompanying xml file everything keeps working and I can see images on all zoom positions for camera and video.
But I still get 2X ad 4X zoom instead off 3X and 10X. Does anybody know what to change in the settings to get those zoom values.
The config also works with V21 of shamim but then I do not have an image for all zoom positions on camera and video.
So if somebody has a working config for V21 on an Exynos, please post it.

After some experimenting I have the 3x and 10x telephoto working.
I can also takes pictures at 3x and 10x telephoto because the display show what I'm abut to photograph but the quality of the picture is not OK.
First of all the 3x and 10x telephoto.
This is just a matter of labels as the 3x and 10x work.
Go to settings - Additional settings - Auxiliary Cameras - Name for camera modules
enable names for aux lenses
set telephoto lens to 3x and ID4 lens to 10x
Second, show display at camera 1x, 3x and 10x
Go to settings - Advanced - Model Interface
For all the camera set the Pixel 3 (blueline) instead of Pixel 2 XL (taimen)
These settings may be saved in the profile files I found but then they are not loaded when importing. It's also possible they are not saved when saving the settings. But this is the way to overcoe this for these settings.
Now the quality, video is ok, no banding but pictures are not, see included example, i tried a lot of settings but I do not get it right.
The pictures keep on having banding, if somebody can help me with that?

Thank you for posting the installation link!
I'm having the same issue as you - but I think that everything worked well without banding until I changed something, I think it was a noise reduction parameter. Now, even a reinstallation doesn't fix that.
Anyone have an idea whether (and where) this GCam stores its configs?

I do not know what version you are using but with Shamim
Settings - Additional Settings you can find Config Setting.
There you can import and save the settings, I do not think there is an autosave.
But I'm not sure if all the settings are saved as I said previously.
BY the way I also tried another version (one that used to work with my S9) and that versions also did give banding although with the S9+ it worked correctly.

Thanks a lot, this solves the problem

And yest another question.
With the Samsung camera you can switch to 3x and 10 when recording a video.
Is this possible with GCAM?
Anyway when you are at video and you swith to another zoom mode (1x 3x or 10x) you switch automatically back to Camera, can this be avoided?

After changing some settings I can use the version of Shamim (8.4.400 v21) for gcam.
But now I want to enable motion photos, whenever I do that, the app shuts down immediately.
Is there a combination of settings so that one can use motion photos?

In the beginning I tried to import xml files but this does not always work.
Sometimes the ettings are not loaded and when they are loaded the gcam freezes if I want to change from camera to video.
I wonder if one of the following has correct settings so motion photo will work.
Did anyone try the?The files attached are
gcam84-configs22s.xml which I found at https://www.sammyfans.com/2022/05/22/download-gcam-mod-for-samsung-phones/
and Shamin_Exynos22.xml which I found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam.4406301/page-6#post-86807279
and if so what about motion photo?

For the latest Shamin mod (nned some tune on UW) :

No success.
After loading your xml flle and turning HDR off, taking a picture and the app quits.
Restarting thereafter makes the app close down after a few seconds.
I did not even have the opportunity to try motion photo.

Why turned the hdr off?

Can you take a motion phot with hdr on , I thought it must be off.

Is there a way to get photosphere working? When I switch to it, I get a black screen and nothing happens.

On this version Photosphere works on my S22Ultra exynos :

Thank you, it does work. Sadly it can't take normal photos.
Now we need someone to combine the two. Hopefully future versions will achieve that.

I've seen there is a Shamim version v24 from 2022-06-17.
Does anybody succeed in using this version.
If I open it and go to settings - advanced - model interface
and change the front lens / main lens / tele lens / wide lens / ID4 lens to the Pixel 3 (Blueline) interface the gcam will not crash anymore.
But in camera mode the display is green although the photos are taken without the green effect..
Settings - additional settings - few stuffs and more -
If I enable Motion Photo over there the app will still stop working.
Anybody more success?

Man, Exynos sucks with GCam. Every year there's a new problem. I received my S22U earlier today and only the Shamim port somewhat works. With AGC I get the ugly rainbow thing. Same with LMC.
I don't get it, wasn't Google Pixel 6's Tensor supposed to be like Exynos? Why is it so hard to get 8.4 working on our Exynos phones?
Edit: managed to get LMC 8.4 R11 working. Unfortunately pics taken by the tele are noisy and there are no manual noise model settings in this port. The list of noise models doesn't have the IMX754 either.
But at least Night Sight works. Couldn't get it to work in Shamim build.
I am attaching a zip with the LMC 8.4 R11 .apk and my config file. It's meant to be a baseline xml config, feel free to adjust the patcher parameters to your liking.
Note: the Leica mode must be enabled, otherwise you'll get rainbow pictures

This works perfectly , most important thing for me is the Astrophotography mode and a manual control over it .

Hello, fellow Exynos S22U users.
AGC v9 was released earlier today! Unfortunately it doesn't work "out of the box". I found a way to fix it though. Hopefully in future versions, doing this won't be necessary
Note: You have to be extremely quick with this. AGC crashes 1-2 seconds after opening, so you gotta be fast.
First of all, download the .zip file attached to this post. Inside the zip is the apk file and the .agc config. Install the .apk and then put the AGCV9-S22UEXYNOS .agc file in Download/AGC 8.4/configs folder.
After opening the app, IMMEDIATELY tap on the 1.7x button and then try to tap on 16.9x. It will most likely take a few attempts to get it right, but don't give up!
if you successfully managed to tap on 16.9x in time, you will notice the app will stay open longer which will give you enough time to load my .agc file (credit goes to @beserker15 for the original AGC V7 Snapdragon config file)
after all that, the app should work (for the most part).
Things to know:
- The camera labels are wrong (obviously). 1.7x is main, 1.0x is Ultra Wide, 4.9x is Telephoto and 16.9 is Super Tele.
- When using HDR+ Enhanced on Tele Lenses ALL CAMERAS, app will crash. Normal HDR+ works, though!
- Taking pictures in Automatic Night Sight will cause a crash, so I disabled Auto Night Sight setting.
- Leica mode MUST BE ENABLED at all times, otherwise you will get rainbow pics.
I think that'll be all for today, I gotta let my phone cool down haha.

Hello everyone! It took us a while but A73 finally got some development done and is ready for GSI or ROM usage. Both of which has it's own problems. Mainly camera quality. Samsung being samsung and qualcomm being qualcomm, we don't have full access to cameras in 3rd party apps so if we go outside samsung's ecosystem, our camera quality suffers. Patrick from A73 Photography telegram group started publishing libraries and config files for gcam. He gave me permission to repost it here so I'll keep this thread updated as he updates his configs.
For anyone who is out of touch, Google Camera is the camera app of Google Pixel phones. Over the years people modded and ported this app to take advantage of many configurations being done in the background. There are dozens of developers and forks of this app but I'll focus on the versions that we have config for in this thread. Currently we have configs for LMC by hasli, AGC by BigKaka, MGC by BSG and SGCAM by Shamim.​
Not sure which one to pick?
You probably want most recent LMC.

How to use?
Spoiler: AGC
- Move the files to your phone.
- Install AGC apk.
- Click "More settings" from settings top left.
- Allow file access permission.
- Click "Load Configs" from settings on top left.
- It should give you the location for configs. Default is /sdcard/Download/AGC.8.8/configs/
- Move .agc file to Download/AGC.8.8/configs/ folder. If "configs" folder doesn't exist, create it yourself.
- Now click "Load Configs" again and you should see our config. Click load.
- Navigate to "More settings > Lens Settings > Main (1.0x) > Noise Model > Import Noise Model"
- Find .c file that you placed on your phone via pop up. Noise Model now should say GalaxyA73_S5KHM6_0_noise.c
There is a video in our telegram channel if you couldn't find the right menus.
Spoiler: LMC
- Move the files to your phone.
- Create a folder called LMC8.4 in your main storage.
- Create a folder called LIBS in LMC8.4 folder.
- Move .xml file to LMC8.4 folder.
- Move .so file to LMC8.4/LIBS folder.
- Install and open LMC app.
- Double click the empty spot between gallery and shutter buttons.
- Select CMR config and click import.
- After it is done do it again (config is too large for a single pass, this makes sure every value is used)
Spoiler: SGCAM
- Move the files to your phone.
- Create a folder called SGCAM in your main storage.
- Create a folder called LIB in SGCAM folder.
- Create a folder called XML in SGCAM folder.
- Move .xml file to SGCAM/XML folder.

Keep in mind that name of .xml and .so file in this thread is subject to change but installation will be the same. If you suspect your quality is not as good please make sure to check if library file is loaded or not. 3rd video down below shows you how to do that in LMC.
Spoiler: Upscaling Guide (up to 164mp)
Actual photo taken by any gcam is always going to be 12mp like all other 3rd party camera apps. However with the power of upscaling you can get photos up to 164mp. Some of the configs in this thread has it set to 20mp while newer ones have it disabled. You can still enable and set it to whatever value you desire. However beware, this adds extra processing time so if you are in a hurry and require a few fast clean shots it might not be worth it. Here is a step by step guide for LMC:
-open settings
-navigate to processing functions > upscale / downscale
-flip the first switch on
-click main camera and set it's value, you can use this cheat sheet:
x1.0 for 12mp (3000x4000 (4:3))​x1.4 for 24mp (4200x5600 (4:3))​x1.6 for 31mp (4800x6400 (4:3))​x2.0 for 48mp (6000x8000 (4:3))​x2.3 for 63mp (6900x9200 (4:3))​x2.4 for 69mp (7200x9600 (4:3))​x2.5 for 75mp (7500x10000 (4:3))​x3.0 for 108mp (9000x12000 (4:3))​x10.0 for 164mp (11100x14800 (4:3))​-click front camera and set it's value, heres cheat sheet for front cam:
x1.0 for 8mp (2448x3264 (4:3))​x1.4 for 16mp (3426x4568 (4:3))​x2.0 for 32mp (4896x6528 (4:3))​x2.5 for 50mp (6120x8160 (4:3))​x3.0 for 72mp (7344x9792 (4:3))​x10.0 for 109mp (9056x12076 (4:3))​
In some configs we have upscaling shortcut assigned to long pressing camera change button so try if it's there. If it's not you can set it by choosing Upscale from Processing functions > Viewfinder settings > Long tap on Change front camera.

Samsung with 108mp and detail enhancer turned on :
LMC 8.4 R16 with this config + lib :
All the credit goes to @PatrickALVS in A73Gcam telegram group.

This is huge! It's been a long time since I used a good Gcam on my non-pixel phones. Back in the days of the first Gen Nokia 6, I was shooting like a Pro with a well-optimized version of Gcam. Later on, I wasn't getting proper versions on other devices. Now, the thing I hate about Samsung phones is, image processing got FIXED with this! I'm so much happy about that!
Waiting for more
Thank you so much for the development!!

is this for rooted phone only?

tested on non root device , it work, thank you very much

It depends on the mode you're using tbh. But here are some stuff you could do.
-HDRnet usually comes off darker than usual. To fix it you can go to settings > processing functions > exposure compenstation and hdr > main camera. Default value in reworked config is -0,4, you can change it to 0 or 0,5 to get brighter results with this mode. This doesnt affect the quality at all.
-You can also use the iso slider but iso slider only works when you enable hdr enhanced mode from top down menu. To get that option make sure HDR+net is disabled from left side then you can pick HDR mode from top menu. Only downside of this is that shutter time increases when you select hdr enhanced mode. This is great for low light situations usually.
-You can focus once by touching an object then use the exposure slider that shows up from right side. You can just max the slider out and picture comes out just as good. This is how I use it. From my experience in a well lit room samsung cam uses 500-800-1000 iso values, lmc with most of the configs in this thread uses around 200-400 iso. When you max out the exposure slider from right it increases to around 1000. Only downside of this is that light sources ruins the shot but also you usually don't point the cam at light bulb or sun so...

Night sight and HDR+ Enhanced increases shutter time to capture more details, if you want faster shots you shouldn't use these 2 modes. You can follow these 2 screenshots to shorten your post processing time however there's nothing you can do about 108mp (upscaling). It'll always increase your post processing time but you could reduce photo sizes by going into settings > LMC Tweaks > JPG Quality. Setting it anything below 90 will cut it's size couple of mbs but going anything below 80 also introduces artifacts to your pictures so it's a double edged sword.

After 1 day of use, I have some comparisons between gcam (LMC R17 REWORK) and the original camera of the device:
- Stock camera faster: if remove hdr + rnet gcam fast too but capture and zoom in photo, it is too noisy so I think with gcam we need keep hdr + rnet to make better quality when compare with stock camera. gcam slow to safe photo but we can capture many photos during save, not big problem with me.
- Stock camera's photo is brighter: we can reduce it by go to settings > processing functions > exposure compenstation and hdr > main camera , I change all to 3.2 and it nearly same stock camera.
- Color and detail of gcam's photo is better with landscape photography with hdr + rnet mode: Landscape photography is good, but when it comes to people, the stock camera is better, if it can identify the context, the system camera pushes the color up very flattering (to me, it's beautiful, suitable for sharing the network, although the details are very flat).
- Backlit photography is better with Gcam: lighter, more detail, photo from the stock camera with a black face.
I think we can use both and match for the best result
