Hello everyone, I am creating this thread to provide the stable and beta builds of gcam, to avoid confusion and to keep the forums clean.
Thank you @S4turno(Celso) for hosting, mirroring, translating and sharing all a to z Gcam..
Special Thanks to @Arnova8G2 for all his support and hardwork !!!!
FAQ GOOGLE CAM-
I CAN'T INSTALL X VERSION, WHY?
Make sure you uninstall every other GCam Port on your phone. You can't have two 6.1 gcam versions installed.
HOW DO YOU SWITCH BETWEEN CAMERAS?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/127r0_UNKMNY5MN5OrWYZISEleK8cZj4x/view?usp=drivesdk
HOW DO YOU USE NIGHTSIGHT WITH THE DIFFERENT LENS?
Select the lens in main mode, switch to Night Mode, then double tap the Camera Switch Button.
WHY THE FRONT CAMERA IS 4MP AND BACK CAMERA 12MP ?
Selfie camera uses pixel binning, same as for the main sensor. Since camera2api implementation only delivers a 4MP raw stream (16MP/4 = 4MP because of pixel binning)
GCam can only work with what raw stream the API delivers.
Same goes for back cam.
WHICH GCAM IS THE BEST ?
There is no best gcam. There are stable and beta builds which work fine for daily usage, but not the best. There may be some crashes here and there.
WHICH XML IS THE BEST ?
The xmls provided in the folder whose link is given below are the best at the moment.
HOW TO USE XML ?
A link to Celso Azevedo site is given below which clearly explains how to import and export xmls.
Mod Edit: Link removed
WHY COLOURS ARE DULL ??
Sometimes the settings may not be applied by the xmls, and in 6.2 gcam, you need to manually set saturation levels.
Also changing awb can help.
Use the xml.
Use the settings from the given screenshots for 6.2 gcam.
WHY CAMERA CRASHES ?
Changes in libs may cause crashes, in such a case clear app data.
WHY AUX CAMERAS ARE NOT WORKING ?
You need ROOTED DEVICE for now to use aux cameras.
METHODS TO USE AUX CAMERAS- There are 2 methods:-
1) Setting selinux to permissive by-
1a) Using nfs injector magisk module or renovate ice magisk rom.
1b) Using custom kernels like Kirisakura or Smurf
2) Installing gcam as a system app-
2a(Install any of the 6.1 gcam app as a standard user app by installing the apk as you would normally.
2b)Open the camera app and enable the usual set of permissions (local storage, camera, etc.)
3)Use the magisk module given below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19lwuT8koKQG3dod9nW2xzVHxWGQR-K3W/view?usp=drivesdk
The link below will provide the Gcams working-!!
THERE ARE 1) XCAM BETA 11
2) GCAM 6.2 WITH XML SUPPORT
3) GCAM 7 BETA
IN THE FOLDERS WHICH THE LINK BELOW PROVIDES !!
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-FAjRY4S5PIBnL2vsf0Fm-pVw3QwOi2s
Another link for xmls-
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/oneplus-7-pro/
*These are the stable gcam, everything works perfectly except slow motion, stable for daily usage, also they support auxiliary cameras.
If you want to use aux cameras in
night sight and video mode, use xcam.
TO USE XML ON 6.2, LOAD XML TWICE!!
A quick guide on how to use xmls. -

Urnyx 6.2 (No XML SUPPORT)(STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.4.apk
Urnyx 7.2 (No XML Support)(STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v1.3.apk
Star Cam based on Gcam 7 (STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.0.009_StarCam_v1.apk
*For gcam 6.2-
Firstly, after installing apk, go to settings, go to about and enable "Enable Advanced Mode"
*For 6.2 Urnyx gcam-
It is a simplistic mod, not much to edit.
Guide:
- How to use manual controls?
- First of all, you must use HDR+ Enhanced. Then, enable the options in settings to show the sliders (only the 1st time). When you are in viewfinder to take a photo, click on "Pro" button to join the pro mode, where you can see all the sliders. Now, you can set any values you want. At the end, tap on the screen to apply changes (otherwise it won't work)
NOTE-
1) Only this version of 6.2 supports xmls-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.2beta2.190907.0540.apk
2) Slow motion doesn't work for now.
3) Lens distortion in wide lens.
How to have multiple gcams installed-

Do your versions support 4k video @ 60fps in normal and also in ultra wide mode?
The version of the other thread can switch to 60fps but actually the video is still recorded at 30
I have a stock 7 pro 12Gb, mine chrashes when i use portraitmode in 6.1

Hey, yes the 4k 60fps works but only with main cam, 4k works with aux cameras but only on 30fps.

Guys...
PLEASE READ ALL WHAT IS WRITTEN IN OP'S INITIAL THREAD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS THAT DON'T HAVE ANSWERS IN THE FIRST POST WILL BE ADDED . ALSO IT'S AN ONGOING SUBJECT WITH POSSIBILITIES TO CHANGE
Thank you...
Thanks! This works great....running intl version rom on tmobile op7pro with elementalX kernel... Used the desaturated xml, looks good. Also turned down saturation for main back camera as it was still a tad high....its weird because in viewfinder(screen) it looks ok, its only when the photo is processed is where saturation gets boosted....those settings are under "advanced" " highlight saturation" 1.3 and for "highlight shadows" 1.1 .....for anyone that wants to know. Also turned up jpeg quality to 100
Maybe this is a stupid question, but where is the apk file located initially?

I've noticed in 6.1 that motion photos don't work and portrait mode crashes in the selfie camera. Aside from that, this is the best gcam I've used so far!

Sorry, I probably should have made my question more clear. I have the app installed. But where can I find it in my phone's directory to move it to /system/priv-app, in order to get aux camera working?

I making this thread for Realme X2 Gcam 7+ because the settings and tweaking are a bit different from the the 6.2 and 6.3 Here
This is to avoid confusion as I won't have time to do tweaks on both 6+ and 7+ so, that it.
After trying over 25 different Gcam ports, I finally got a Gcam 7.2 that works for Realme X2 but you have to tweak the settings like I did to get the best.
The full tutorial is on YouTube Here:
I will drop some camera samples and the screenshot of my settings here incase you don't have time to watch the tutorial.
While you are there, you can also watch Adobe photoshot camera for Realme X2 too. I was surprised it worked fine.
It blew away the stock cam in Night sight there is no need to talk about the Astrophotography and I didn't bother uploading the samples comparisons between Night scape and Astrophotography - it's not a fair fight. But you can see it in the video.
Low noise, more details, close to real life color reproduction, and ability to tweak makes this 7.2 a thing of joy.
Still no 4k video but 1080p 30/60fps works fine.
No slow motion and wide angle lens too.
Apart from these, everyother thing works fine.
Great credits to @Urnyx05 who ported the camera for ( several devices) of which realme-x2 isn't one of.
I added a new seperate Youtube video tutorial Mastering Gcam v7.2 Advanced Settings for Realme X2
So you can watch that if you want to get the best images from your Gcam.
I am adding the direct link of the of the Gcam 7.2 by Unryx05 I used to be sure some people don't download the wrong one and have other issues I didn't experience. As I said in the video, I've tested over 25 different Gcam ports so make sure you are using the exact one I am using so as to Easy replicate the issues you are experiencing with my device. And talking about devices mine is Realme X2 EU Version (8/128G) RMX1993.

Turn off motion pictures and make sure your
Google photos is up to date.
Clearing app data might help.
Also let me know what operation you carry out before it crashes.
Hmmm Curious, when I toggle on, enable 2nd and 3rd lenses, I cant even open the app. I have to reinstall.
Added additional screenshots of my settings and tweaks. When I am less busy I'll write the full details here but until then, you can watch the video tutorial for now.
Interesting......
I grabbed the lastest from celsoazevedo, and I was using the latest Urnyx: Urnyx05: GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v1.5.apk
but yours is v1.4.
v1.4 works.
I wonder what the small change is....(rhetorical)
still cant get the wide angle to work. But i found out by clearing cache I dont have to reinstall it....

Hi, thank you so much for the detailed guide and feedback, I'm waiting/looking for a version with slow motion and wide lens working, but still had no success. Please let we know if you find something.:fingers-crossed:
For those who are looking for a working Gcam, I am working on one with the great devs for Gcam including Urnyx05. The problem with Realme and BBK devices are they do not have correct color for gcam to process. Arnova helped greatly to fix it, and Cstark's apk works somewhat now. Also we will never be able to access the ultrawide lens or any other lens as Realme did not grant camera2 ID or access to them. Potentially root could work, but I am rooted but nothing works. We really need a kernel dev for our devices.

I said earlier that the secondary lenses don't work and will make the camera crash.
Just clear app data to use the camera again - it's quicker than reinstalling but you will lose your settings

It took a lot of testing and trying with plenty crashes and issues to come up with the v1. 4 as the best for Realme X2 for now. I am still trying and testing more especially for wide angle...

I almost gave up on Gcam because of that 'annoying' color processing from realme. But once I learnt to tweak it, I got a higher saturation with Gcam more than the stock cam, I knew that the Realme X2 has a great future with custom Roms. We just have to wait at least for Indian lunch on 17th Dec and maybe the customization will bloom.

I was looking for a working Gcam with astrography on my One Plus 7 pro and i tried more than 30 different apks by different modders all had issues with astro and i accidentally discovered that the version PMGC_7.2.014_Relesed_V1.apk from Parrot043 with working astrography. I have uploaded few pics with astrography.
Know bug : Astrography will start but it will not end automatically you have to manually end it after the timer stops.
PS : I take no credit of this application as well as bugs. All credits go to the developer Mr.Parrot043

hi thanks for sharing it other functions are working?
Will have to check
Well as far as i know lens changing is not working, full zoom fc, others will have to see
All three lens are functional. Thanks
For me this mod is crashing on launch. I was cleaning app data.
front camera crashes app when on portrait mode
.
Works pretty werll despite being in a light polluted metropole
Thanks for sharing, i can confirm it works on 7 pro ob7.
Btw i shared the exact same apk on a telegram group for our device, i think there was a guy named "sir tavares", she insisted on that astro cant be done on op7pro, go buy pixel etc. Then she banned me when i shared the apk to the group ?
just be careful guys this type of people are toxic in your life beware of them and their group.btw i have screenshots of his language i can share if anyone wants to see it.more like "sir moron".

How are your switching between lenses? I can only access the main rear and front cameras.
Also, can confirm that Slow Motion and Selfie Portrait crash the app. (currently on OP7pro 10.3.0)

Hmm, it must be some combination of Bliss Rom/kernel that is enabling a different menu and front Portrait. I'm on stock 10.3.0.
I read in another thread that the GCam app needs to be a system app (in the system/priv-app folder) to enable access to the aux cameras. I tried moving the app folder there, but it just moved itself back after a reboot. I'm seeing if I can move the app some other way. Not sure if any of those Magisk modules from your screenshot would help with the app settings.
Edit: successfully converted the app to a system app using the App Systemizer Magisk module. Made no difference for the settings (still don't see options for aux cams). Oh well, must be a rom/kernel issue. Thanks for you help!

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the Parrot version, only the Urnyx. The colors on the Parrot version are pretty bad, and the selfie cam won't work (3/4 cameras not working) so I've switched to Urnyx, and have the tele/zoom/selfie lenses all working now, but lost Astrophotography. Oh well, I give up.

For me, the colors on the PMGC 7.2.014 were terrible (initially pale, unsaturated; improved a bit with saturation settings) but I just couldn't get the white balance right.
I've attached 4 pics: Stock 10.3.0 cam (default), Stock 10.3.0 HDR forced on, Urnyx05 7.2.010 (1.6), and PMGC 7.2.014.
(Note: It seems you can get different settings based on your rom/kernel, so your results may vary.)
I preferred the Urnyx05 7.2.010 (HDR always on) slightly over Stock with HDR (though, depending on how you like your shadows, you might even prefer stock). The color accuracy between these 2 was the same. Stock without HDR didn't handle shadows well, and PMGC needs settings adjusted before it's functional.

The above review and attached screenshots refer to the main camera. I just realized you were asking about the aux cams. I compared the Stock HDR vs Urnyx Gcam HDR (I suspect the PMGC will have similar results as the Urnyx after adjusting the color/saturation settings):
Telephoto (Zoom): Stock starts "3x", Urnyx Gcam is labelled "2x" but is showing only a slightly wider field of view than stock. Stock appears to be zooming/cropping some of the native image. Color accuracy is about the same. Default settings in Gcam make the picture undersaturated (like PMGC), but given the Lib Patcher settings, contrast & saturation can be boosted to match stock. About a tie here once you play with the Gcam settings.
Wide: Once again, Stock cam crops/zooms into the native image more, so the Urnyx Gcam has a wider image. However, Urnyx Gcam makes no lens correction and the edges are pretty distorted. The colors on this lens showed the most difference, with the stock being slightly more saturated with a much better HDR result, while the Urnyx Gcam is lighter/less saturated (likely adjustable in GCam's additional settings), but not a great HDR output. Stock cam wins here, with the significantly better HDR and lens correction. (Note: attached images are cropped for privacy; upper-right ~75% of the image is shown)

Use Google Camera with xml config. I personally use tigr camera Xmas release with Poco X3 xml which you can find on Poco X3 Gcam xda thread. It works great.

Is there a version of modded GCam that works on Pixel 6a, and has Motion mode from the Pixel 6? I haven't been able to find much about it, but i understand that the 6a is still brand new so it might be a little bit.

HDR video, action pan, long exposure would be nice.
I was able to get this working on my 6a without much hassle at all. It does require root, but it solves the issue for me
How to enable Motion Mode (Action Pan and Long Exposure in Gcam) on your Pixel 6a
Hi to all my fellow Pixel 6a users. As you know, Google thing is to develop awesome tools and then to only allow a handful of people to use them. But I don't like that, so here's a way to enable Motion Mode, i.e. Action Pan and Long Exposure, and...

Would it be possible to extract an APK from this version of gcam? Or would it have to be baked into its code for these new modes to work without root?
I really don't like the native camera app for pixel 6a in low light. It over processes the images a lot and darkens my selfies in low light making it look far worse than my previous device poco X2. Are there any good gcam mods for pixel 6a which can rectify these problems?
Try the Urnyx one, works for pixels https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1526/

Hey thanks for the reply. This mod has a significantly better processing than the native app but it crashes whenever I want the change the zoom from default 2x to 1x . Also changing to any other zoom level doesn't work. Is this mod working for you flawlessly?

Maybe because that mod is almost 2 years old, works for Pixels 2 to 5.
Try this one. It has the option to change libraries

I alternate between MWP-NoiC library and Matteo19 library depending upon the light. You can go to the telegram group Gcam Libs and try out various libraries yourself.
edit: this was a reply to berserker2702's question which was a separate thread, it has nothing to do with motion. IMO there was no need to consolidate because it is totally different even though it is related to gcam.

MWP Gcam in advanced settings you can choose Camera UI from Pixel 6 and Motion appears, but I don't know if it works, if anyone can verify it... Thank you.
Can't try it cause I'm spoofing pixel 6 camera with MagiskHide Props Config

Yeah when you select the Pixel 6 UI the Motion modes appear but I haven't had much success using them. It takes the photo no problem but then it gets stuck with the notification... Processing HDR+ and there's no way to see the result. Pity as I would love to get this working without rooting my device.
works for me on blissrom 16.3, june security patch, thank you.
