I've been planning on installing custom Rom like Pixel Experience on my A52 4G, but the last thing holding me back is Super Steady video recording mode in the stock Samsung camera app. Is there a way to install the stock Samsung camera app on custom roms?
No, this is and will not be possible. However, the preinstalled Camera app on PE does a good job too. Alternatively, there is GCam.
I know, I've tried GCam from BSG, and it really excels at photos and videos, I would even say, that in most scenarios the results are better than on the stock camera but still the only way to record steady videos on this phone is Super Steady, which is unfortunate

Where can you download a GCam version that will work on the A52 from?

There's a Telegram group that has guides and configs for all different GCams, see here: https://t.me/GalaxyA52A72Gcam

Given that the new versions of MIUI allow for GCam and utilize camera 2 API, does that mean that it's now possible for custom non-MIUI ROMS to utilize MIUI camera?
Currently custom ROMS see a downgrade in camera compared to the MIUI cam IMO.

You can use GCam in any ROM, but for now MIUI Camera can be used only in MIUI

That is true, but that wasn't my question. GCam is a noticeable downgrade in quality at this point. I'm trying to understand if with MIUI now utilizing GCam effectively if non MIUI ROMs can use this to improve GCam camera quality and utilize camera 2 API or if this will allow MIUI cam to be used (in theory)

I don't think so. GCam has a better noise control. ATM GCam is better than MIUI to take pictures. Let's compare them using MIUI Cam main modes
-Slowmotion: Yet buggy in GCam. MIUI wins.
-Video: Annoying bug with focus in GCam. MIUI wins again.
-Photo: GCam wins due its better HDR and noise reduction.
-Portrait: I can't confirm who is wins. Draw.
-Night Sight: GCam miles away.
GCam needs some improvements of course, but a lot of ppl use AOSP ROMs without miss MIUI Cam.

Just the Verizon 2.4.025 os working
any news?
Good morning, very very long time xda luker here, years in fact, so thought I would jump in and join this topic.
Obviously like most of us I've loved using the gcam port on my SM-A530F and now after the 9.0 update I had to go back to the stock samsung camera. So did a bit a of looking around and found this.
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk
It works. Well I say works, it's extremely buggy, so maybe someone here with a little more knowledge than me can have a play around with it and hopefully (fingers crossed) get it usable.
I'm getting hard restarts when you take a second photo while hdr is processing and in low light conditions it will sometimes crash.
From what I've seen, though I could be wrong and my settings need a tweak but you can't use flash, you can't use front facing camera, and you can't enable motion photo.
Also sometimes when processing hdr it will freeze and you will have to force close and start again.
I'm only after a decent hdr+ back camera, I don't realy care that the front isn't working as to be honest the stock a8 camera is fine for a selfie etc.
Thanks guys, I hope this has helped a little or it might not help at all, but I thought I would share this as it's a version of gcam that doesn't crash on startup and does take photo's we'll sometimes it takes photos. ??

My friend, i found a gcam that works. It can take photos, but after every shot you need to change to video and back. Its zoran gcam. The thing is, the zgcam its just for donators. Look for the telegram group [Galaxy] Official Google Camera and ask for Egoist. He will explain you how to get into the zoran group.

Rear portrait works. Playground needs AR core. To be honest I don't think playground is something I wanna test, seems like a silly thing to me. Motion don't works.

The version I mentioned above does the same, you have to go to settings then back to photo before you can take another shot and also wait for hdr processing to finish.
Confirmed working on SM-G930F!
Can confirm this version of a gcam port works on the SM-G930F, I've not played with the settings yet but I can take photos without any problems!
Let me know if anyone has any settings tweaks to improve this.

We are happy to works on SM-G930F, but it is an A8 SM-J530F thread.
I tried the config that you advised and the phone get hard restart when i trying take a picture.
I download the latest version of gcam, but it has too limits (many features that stock camera has, gcam hasn't such as 48 mpx shot or ultra-wide shot etc). It nice to have a gcam that can implement all the OP 8 features. Any solution?
Whats wrong with the camera app that comes with the OP8?

GCam MOD is far superior to most of the stock camera apps.
OnePlus 8 does fit all the specs for the GCam or Ultracam. Has the IMX 586 so seems likely we will vet a port.
Any news from the experts?
I’m curious as to how much GCAM improves the standard OP8 camera. If at all?
The pro is flawed, had one and returned it and actually prefer the footprint of the standard but I’d want better camera performance than the stock camera provides. Would be good to know how much of Google’s special sauce can be brought to the OP8

I tried the GCam Mod today with the Magisk Module for other cameras support.
I do see that the GCam is actually able to switch between the three cameras ( Tested by closing other cameras with finger while switching between the thee modes)
0.6x is switching to MACRO Camera
1x is shooting 12MP mode of the Main Camera
2x : is switching to the Top Camera and works well in Wide mode (if ratio is 4:3)
GCam version : 7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.6
Magisk : Aux_Mod_V2

All Gcam's are for non-rooted users since they are just an APK to install. I can verify the one on this page for the oneplus 7/7t/7pro works fully, but I can't really say if it is better or not cause I'm not a big camera person.

Gcam can be installed on Non Root but can't access the other cameras except the Main sensor.
to access other lenses you will need magisk module.
Detailed steps to install are here:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/oneplus-8-and-8-pro-gcam-google-camera/
The latest OxygenOS opened up some access to aux cameras in Gcam without root. Ultrawide is possible to use now without root.
For a compatible OnePlus 8 Gcam + XML check the OnePlus 8 telegram Group : https://t.me/gcamOnePlus8
Gcam info here : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/links/
I installed the latest GCam version from that last link along with the xml file on my T-Mobile OnePlus 8. Mostly it work great, but it cranes any time I try to switch to nightsight mode. Anyone else experiencing this?
Unrelated, I'm not sure if I have the latest OS version mentioned above that enables switching lenses, but I don't see to have that option. Looking at the last message I saw in the telegram group, it seems the requirements for the 8 vs 8Pro are different with regard to root and magisk. Root is not an option for me.
I thought I'd just create a post to discuss cameras for the F2 Pro running custom ROMs.
So far I've been testing ANX Camera and various GCams, but found both don't work 100%.
I've found some forums talking about Gcam and the Telegram groups talking about ANX Cam, but am yet to find one that fully works.
ANX Cam.
I've found the picture quality to be really good and appears better than Gcam from what I can tell.
Working: Default 16MP, 64MP Cam works and the 2x zoom.
Not Working > Portrait mode crashes, front pop up cam crashes, but working on video, wide 0.6 cam doesn't work
Flashed modules in Magisk:
ANX Cam
ANXCameraHotfix.190.BootloopFix.zip
48MPFixQ_181.GlossyIntelligentCock.zip
ANXCameraProvider.190.BountifulDistantHapuka.zip
ANXCameraHotfix.190.BootloopFix.zip
Then install ANX Cam from PlayStore
GCam:
Using Gcam 7.3.018 by Urnyx05 version 2.4 Gcam 7.3.018 Urnyx05 v2.4
Also trying GreatnessCam 2.3 GreatnessCam
Working: Wide angle 0.6 cam works, portrait works
Not Working: Both Gcam's seem to work, but unable to get the 64MP cam to work and 2x zoom.
I've just found it tricky with all the various Gcam versions and ANX cam mods to find a single working solution. If could get Gcam that works could scrap ANX or vice versa.
Can you share your cam config if it's working?
OK, I'm reviving this thread.
I want to flash CRdroid custom rom, but I don't want to loose camera quality. Any experiences?
i had to go back to miui because of this.

My experience with Gcam. It mostly works except the 64MP camera and doesmt have the 2x zoom. But I think otherwise everything works ok.
I've been using the Anx camerw port but is a pain as need magisk modules just to run it and the selfie can doesn't work or wide angle.
So gcam is by far the easiest

I don't think an gcam will work on this device. It lacks proper implementation of native camera2 api which is minimum requirements for gcam to work.
