How to Get the Best Gcam Settings - Mastering Gcam Advanced Settings

Well, if you are on xda you probably have heard about Google Camera App A.K.A Gcam and if you have there are two major struggles - how to find the most stable/latest Gcam mod the next, how do I tweak it to get the best pictures. There is already a General Gcam hub on xda here which is very well organised if that won't satisfy you, head over to your device forum and check the App and themes section. You should find one there and if you're not still satisfied check put my YouTube Gcam Playlist for All Android and choose the particular today that serves your need. But I am not here today basically for how to find the best Gcam for your device, if you have found the perfect Gcam for your device, how well do you know the Advanced Settings.
Here I will cover the most important Advanced settings, there are few things in the Advanced Settings that may not result in any significant improvement or change on the picture you take but may still be important. It will be a long read so I'd you are as lazy as me and still want to see all the details, watch the videos or scroll down to continue reading.
#1 Best Gcam 7+Settings for All Android (Mastering Gcam Advanced Settings Pt 1)
This was based on Gcam 7.2 by Urnyx05 a very good and versatile Gcam port
#2 Gcam Best Settings for All Android (Mastering Gcam Advanced Settings Pt. 2)
In this one, we cut accross Gcam 6.2, 6.3, 7.2 and 7.3 advanced settings
#3 Gcam 7.3 Best Settings For All Android (Mastering Gcam Advanced Settings Pt. 3)
In this one we focused only on Gcam 7.3 using Parrot043 Gcam 7.3 v1 one of the most advanced Gcam 7.3
The main problem here is that your own Gcam Advanced Settings may look different from the one in the video so you might want to stick around for a little bit and learn what these advanced settings do.
We kick things off with HDR - High Dynamic Range settings.
This will include Advanced Settings for:
HDR+
HDR+ Enhanced
EV - Exposure Value
Exposure Compensation
The HDR settings (icon) to turn on and off HDR+ for Gcam is the same no matter the Gcam port you are using.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
While it is easy to just turn it on or off, the main action is in the Advanced Settings.
There quite some handful of settings under HDR+ Advanced Settings but we are going look at the most important ones.
JPEG Quality - 90 - 100% but there is no much difference in size so I'll recommend 100%
HDR+ Enhanced Frames - this is a big game changer and a setting to take note of if you install Gcam and your HDR+ or HDR+ Enhanced pictures looks raw or pale. Just bump the numbers up. The numbering of the frames differs from Gcam to Gcam so I 3rd or 2nd to the highest number
EV/Exposure Compensation - if your Gcam Advanced Settings have this for Night sight, tuned it to the highest (2.0) for daylight pictures it could be a little tricky. Higher EV can over-brighten day light images so you should. Exposure compensation brings in light generally to the image being taken while HDR ensures that the bright parts of of the pictures maintains its brightness while brightening the darker parts. Combining HDR+ and EV can help create amazing pictures in low light.
Auto Exposure Correction - if you haven't handled DSLR Cameras before now and very comfortable with its manual settings leave this one on Auto.
If you can't tell which type of picture that will require 1/30 secs of shutter speed or 1/300 or 1/2 secs then use Auto. General rule of thumb faster movement requires bigger fraction of seconds eg 1/1000 sec will capture more details and less blur for a moving object ot person more than 1/10 secs.
Binary (customs) library - this very important especially if the Gcam you are using wasn't ported directly for your device. The default library settings is Google but if your default pictures are not top notch even after tweaking the HDR+ and EV settings then you can try different custom libraries.
There could be ISO limit for HDR+
This setting controls the amount of light that goes into HDR+ from here you could choose to let in more light into HDR+. The default is usually OK but you can tweak it to your taste.
Color settings
Under this we are going to consider Saturation, Brightness, Sharpness, chroma denoise, luma, even tone curve.
If you have done any kind of post picture editing, you will conversant with all the words above.
Saturation adds more color to the picture, you won't see much difference with sharpness.
The tweaks for Astrophotography and night sight are better off seeing in the video up.

Thanks I was looking for this.

Best settings!

i cant use at all Gcam on Moto G9 plus on android 11, when HDR is set to pixel phones photos r nice but litle blurry out of focus? when i set HDR to Nexus or pixel 2 photos r sharp more details buto color r ****eed up and colours form objectw swim acroos the photo, ffs what bullsit

I think you can but only hardware guy can recover this

Hi everyone, I have a problem. When I change the "ISO/Exposure Time HDR+" setting under Advanced settings it does nothing not matter what setting i choose. I wanted to raise minimum shutterspeed to 1/100 to avoid camera shake as the camera by default chooses around 1/50 even outdoors if the sun is not shining. How do i change to a default higher shutterspeed?

Videos Deleted I think so, Please upload again or give some alternative link

Now this, this really is something. Never have we had an Open Source camera that does reliable post processing. Congratulations on you and the team! Incredibly excited to see where this will be going, as the only other open source option was Open Camera, and to say that the UI was lacking would be an understatement. Are there any plans to introduce Video support with the same level of manual controls?
I tried it on my Redmi Note 9 Pro (joyeuse) running an Android 10 GSI and I'm impressed by the interface and features. It recognizes and switches successfully to three of the four sensors on the back. However, the UI is slightly compressed, leaving a gap at the bottom and making the preview look like a 16:9 image compressed to 4:3. That being said, the final images look great and I'm excited to try it out in different scenarios. I've attached two images with a banana for scale to see exactly what I mean.
Once again, thank you for working on this and I'm excited to see how you'll be improving the app!

Thank you for your feedback, but we really need new developers right now
Video with manual mode is planned, but not quite the same as in mcpro24

App didn't work for me on my Xperia 1 mark II, it automatically close itself

Thanks for effort!!!Sorry for comparison,but can this camera be compared somehow to gcam?

Photon vs Gcam. Both are taken in HDR.
Somehow the result is too bright and the file size is almost 3 times bigger than Gcam.

What is Google Camera (AKA GCam)?
Google Camera is the camera app for the Google Nexus and Google Pixel phones. It is not designed or intended to be run on other phones.
Installation instructions
1 - Click the GCam Finder Link and type /start
2 - Browse the bot by selecting your brand and model.
3 - Download the APK and XML
4 - Load the XML
DOWNLOADS
Moderator strngst doesn't allow telegram links. Probably only from Ad-free (paid) members.

Nikita v2.0 APK
XML by Dennis
(READ EVERYTHING BELOW BEFORE ASKING SOMETHING)
How to Load XML's?
(XML's are config files that include all the settings tweaked for a device.
Therefore all the configs are based on personal taste which may suit you or not, that's why it's important for you to try them and use whatever you like most.)
Copy the XML file and paste it into:
(GCam 7) Internal Storage > GCam/Configs7
(IF THOSE FOLDERS DON'T EXIST, CREATE THEM)
To Load a XML open GCam, Double Click on a black area around the shutter button, select the XML Downloaded
and then click on "Restore".)
Your Photos come too dark?
Tap the screen when taking a photo and slide up and down the finger to increase/decrease the exposure of your photo.
This applies to Front and Back Camera(s).
CHOOSE BETWEEN HDR+ AND HDR+ENHANCED
HDR aka (High Dynamic Range) increases the Dynamic Range, the difference between details in the darkest parts of the picture and not washing out in the brightest parts.
HDR+ is just a larger range on this and HDR+ Enhanced even larger again. Basically the phone takes a range of pictures and it combines the underexposed bright parts and the overexposed dark parts into one picture.
If you leave it set to Enhanced, it will almost always give you the best effects and image quality as it gives itself a little longer time to bring together the image.
The only times usually to use HDR+ is when your needing quick snaps of a moving object or if you want a faster shutter image.
SWITCH BETWEEN CAMERAS
Load the XML below and click the small dots on the Viewfinder.​

THANKS TO @Urnyx05 @Arnova8G2 @S4turno​

Thanks for sharing. I will try

Thx a lot

Thanks for sharing sir

I'm on the fence choosing between mi 10 ultra and the pixel 5. Would be great to see some day and low light pics here. I wonder how the Mi10 ultra handles Gcam as in shutter lag after pressing the button, ability to "tap to focus", how fast it processes pictures, and if there is some photo quality drawbacks as purple grain for instance. The stock mi 10 ultra has too much "butification" and skin smoothening for my liking.

Funny guy this strngst.

Can anyone confirm that all features of this Gcam works on all four cameras on the Mi 10 Ultra?

Yep. There are 4 "zooms" to choose from, and each are using the specific lenses (verified by covering the camera with fingers).
Unfortunately the tele lens doesn't go to 120x zoom.

if you really want to zoom that far with gcam, try the Wichaya port; you can use the 5x lens and then set the digital zoom up to 100x more -- recommend not going past 30x digital zoom since the viewfinder doesn't show it, but still that's 150x total

Dennis XML file is pretty good, but sadly extremely buggy :/ hope there will be other XML files in the future

3 Questions:
- Does this mean that the default camera will be replaced with GCam?
- What if I want to delete GCam completely. Can all this be undone?
- Is it better than the Stock Camera?

It's simply a standalone app, it will not replace your system camera app.
You can use one or the other as you see fit and uninstall GCam normally at any point.
From my testing, I can't see it as a direct upgrade over the stock camera app, it may just be that Google's post-processing can produce better results in certain situations.
However, it becomes apparent that GCam doesn't natively support this phone, some features of the stock camera are outright missing, such as: 8k or 960fps video, 120x zoom and more
Personally, I prefer the original stock camera app (from the original chinese ROM).

New Nikita GCam update is released with few fixes, when tested with this Dennie's Config XML its giving pinkish overlay for all photos.

Fixed the issue by using the latest Config xml

Just to provide a clear update to available GCam ports and their respective configurations, saving you the need to search through the Telegram GCam group for Mi 10 / Pro / Ultra.
Available ports for the Mi 10 Ultra:
1. Nikita GCam
2. Wichaya GCam
Available configs for the Mi 10 Ultra: see attachments
Both port versions are the latest at the time of writing and they work well with the respective config files (made by Dennis) - tested them out myself.

It's really a matter of personal taste. I liked the Nikita port a bit better.
Give both a shot and you'll see for yourself.

Thanks for sharing. The quality is very good on closer objects but if I take pictures and focus on a specific object in the distance,I just get blurry image and it takes really long to focus. Other than this, it's working really good

The updated Nikita 1.9 Gcam with XML by Dennis is really awesome: Downloaded both from: https://www.miscw.com/download-and-...-mi-10-ultra-updated-15th-nov-2020-32394.html

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.

}
If you don't enable RAW Capture, you'll get a black screen and only video recording will work.
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.

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.

Hello
Here a new GCAM version with pixel binning
Shamim: GCAM_8.4.400.42.XX_SHAMIM_V21
Download GCAM_8.4.400.42.XX_SHAMIM_V21 by Shamim.

Gcam SHAMIM
In this version, you will have several shooting modes, including one with Pixel Binning, to be able to do crops, or cuts without losing an iota of quality!
My first xml for this new Gcam is attached
THIS XML GOES IN THE "GCAM/CONFIGS8.4" DIRECTORY
In this version, you will be able to find a very high definition, thanks to the implementation of Pixel Binning to be able to make crops, without losing absolutely any quality!
This xml also has several types of shooting modes:
: In this shot, the sharpness is increased by 1.50 more than the normal shot, for shots where you need an extra definition!
: Macro mode, worked for this 2Mp sensor.
: Main mode, shot with real quality and color representation, with very good definition.
: Ultrawide mode, also worked great
: Shot prepared for when there is little light.
To the left of the viewfinder you will also find some modes to combine the types of shooting:
LDR: Low dynamic range shooting.
SHADE: Adds a vignette effect to the shot.
HiRes: I love this mode Here you have Pixel Binning, activated on all lenses.
In this mode, you can take full advantage of your optics.
When shooting with the Main lens, you will take photos in 105Mp.
In macro, 14.5Mp.
In selfie, 71.9Mp.
In Ultrawide, 60.4Mp.
This mode is absolutely compatible and combinable WITH ALL SHOOTING MODES AND STYLES!

This is not pixel binning. The camera scales the images up. He adds pixels to it.
upscaling is this.

Thank you much appreciated!! So far everything seems to be working fine except for pictures are coming out green. I wonder if it's due to my phone being the redmi note 11 pro 5g?

To correct green picture, you must activate AWB in the settings --> additionnal settings --> auto white balance --> ON

Found it, thank you!

If you want Gcam which can perform pixel binning on Main camera to 12MP, try LMC gcam. I'll add my config here (Copy it to Internal Storage/LMC8.4/ ).

Will try this too, thanks!

How is this camera's performance after Gcam? I'm tossing up getting a Poco X4 Pro 5G. Also quite surprised it can't do 4K video, is anyone able to explain why this is? I've had 4K video on my super old Galaxy Note 3, not sure why a new 2022 phone can't handle it... artificial limitation perhaps?

I think it is the chipset limitation.
