Original Camera - Samsung Galaxy S9 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi, is there anyway of getting the original camera software from the Oreo version of s9 on the One UI software s9 ?
I really like the new One UI look and feel but I miss the Original camera we used to have.
Thanks in advance.

I'll take that as a no then ?

and also i've noticed that the one ui camera seems to have aggressive beauty plus even if you disable it sorry for my grammar

Is it possible to mod Samsung camera app to get back Record video button in Pro mode?
I'd love to set custom ISO setting for night video recording.

[Q] Why is the hdr button missing ?

i have upgraded my gnex to android 4.2 but the hdr button on the stock camera is missing, i have searched this problem on google and then i found some article, it says that you have to download some additional lib files which is "libmmcamera_hdr.so" i downloaded and put it to the system/lib and changed the permissions, but still i cannot find any hdr button, anyone can help ??
thanks in advance
I think the HDR function is a N4 feature, not available on our hardware.
Galaxy nexus doesnt support HDR. Its all about hardware

Not all about hardware(it might due to slow shutter but it's not limited because of hardware).. in fact HDR is a software it is really simple technique. Google think HDR is so advanced photo taking technique only N4 with quad core can take it but in reality any camera can take HDR even film camera
So there's no mod to get HDR?
Could CM Mod it and we'd get it?
I know there's an app on the play store that mimics the AOSP Camera app perfectly so could that be our only future solution for HDR since it will copy it?
So far it's only at 4.1.2. The developer got to update his UI for 4.2.
Well, just use a proper camera to take hdr photos..
And the auto ones usually looks like a vomit of colors..........

Camera Quality - CM14.1

Hi, I was lurking for a new camera app on xda to make up for the Huawei Camera software which provides a superb quality when taking photos, and I ended up encountering the Snapdragon Camera 2.2 for the Alcatel Idol 3.3.
Acording to the dev the camera apk should work on every ROM based on CM.
Since I'm on CM14.1 I gave it a shot and surprisingly it successfully installed and its working quite well.
The thing is, I can't decide which one is better, Snap Camera or Snapdragon Camera.
I was hoping if you guys could help me
(the first one I used stock snap camera which comes with CM14.1 and the second one I used Snapdragon Camera)
Note - the xda app might compress the photos a little bit, so expect some low quality between them.
Edit - link for the snapdragon camera : https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/themes-apps/app-snapdragon-camera-v2-2-marshallow-t3402224
Here are some photos :
cool. maybe there's a way to extract he camera apk feom EMUI? its a really good app. and as a bit of advice, some links to the threads for snapdragon camera would be great . i'll test them too. the 2nd pic looks better imo, so i think snapdragon camera is better than the stock cm one. i'm using google camera (preinstalled with stock gapps) and i'll do some photos too when i get home
edit: the snapdragon camera is a bit better. not by much. the google camera app has a pinkish tint and is brighter, whilst the snapdragon camera has more natural colours but it is less bright, as seen in the OP.

It is possible to port the apk to CM or whatever ROM you're using, but without the drivers from huawei we can't get the maximum performance from the camera.
I also think that Snapdragon Camera looks a bit better, but Snap camera for me I think it's better to use on dark environments haha.
Edited the post with the link for the snapdragon camera.
Thanks.
I don't have any kind of experience regarding Android extraction of any kind, but if we took libs and camera apk and all the dependencies for it, make it a flashable zip with correct permissions straight to /system, would it work?
It's too bad that we have Nougat running great with mostly no issues (location via wifi is not working, but activating GPS will locate you in 2 seconds, some users also have the echo call bug), and the camera is not optimised properly. I'm pretty sure on stock ROM all other camera apps gave more or less the same performance as the stock one, so i doubt there is a lot to do with the app itself, more with the drivers and libraries (as you have pointed out).
Huawei stock cam app i think its pretty well
it would be great if it could be ported

Google Camera is finally here people ??

Yes you read it correct our long wait is over now. Now we too can enjoy the amazing processing of gcam. Everything works like a charm and there is a significant improvement in the quality. I'm sure this will get better as this is obiously an early build.
And it's not the pixel 2 camera but it's the pixel 3 one!..
Here's what works:
*Portrait mode on both front and back cams(only on humans)
*HDR+, HDR+ enhanced
*Panorama (super glitchy for now)
*And pretty much everything else
*Night mode ( slight improvements only)
*Photo Sphere
Here's what doesn't work:
*Live Google lens
At first the images will look dead.So after you install it you need to increase the saturation. Go to settings , bsg mod settings , saturation and change saturation of front and back cam.
Literally all the credit goes to @xdaakhil for digging this up. If you want to thank someone thank him.
Well my thanks button is down there too ?
Working on :
Honor 9 Lite
Honor 7X
Honor P Smart
Mate 10 Lite
P20 Lite
Honor 6x
keep testing
Edit: video and photos sphere works after changing the default storage to internal. Don't know why it doesn't work with the SD card?
Photo sphere is also very buggy
Photos cannot be clicked without enabling HDR+ or HDR+ enhanced.
There is a pinkish tint on highlights. This can be overcome if you guys focus on the lit(highlights) part by tapping on the viewfinder.
This port can work without root or any modifications.

? Don't know why that happened. Try downloading it again.
To those of you who who don't know why portrait only work on humans:
Gcam doesn't utilise the secondary camera that comes with the device as pixel phones have a single lens setup. The portrait is completely software based. You can check this, cover the secondary lens and click a portrait pic, it'll work!
This is also very useful as we will get good quality blur and edge detection like flagships in our budget phones as the software processing is the same in both apps.
So the camera cannot detect Dept between the subject and background as it only uses one lens.
Hello,
please, tell me, did you find optimal settings of gcam for our phone? Saturation and HDR+? I am testing it but I am not finding the perfect combination yet.

Well im also a bit confused about the perfect match.
But this is what I use:
Pixel 3 as the input method in both front and rear cams(for the super res zoom to work)
Saturation, rear cam highlights 2.7 shadow 2.9
Front cam highlights 2.2 shadow 2.6
Tweak around yourself but I couldn't get the cam to take a picture like it is shown in the viewfinder and the skin tones are better in the viewfinder than the final photo ( the details are far better though)
Thank you Fredin. I will test it.
Been lurking for a while, just registered to say thanks, works nicely the difference is pretty big! Panoramic mode is slow and buggy for me but photosphere does the same thing anyway and works well, lastly, is the RAW picture supposed to look really low resolution like it does for me?
It's working on P Smart as well, will be testing more tomorrow.

It's good to know that you guys find it useful but it's been digged up by @xdaakhil I don't want to steal his work, I just

Anyways thanks guys. Keep testing

Yeah the raw shots do look like it's of low quality(don't know why). But since this build wasn't built for us this is really good.
Only if someone ports the camera for Kirin devices.
Anyways good to hear from you.

I'm not sure as slow motion recording requires hardware support which our phones dosent have.
Normally phones (including ours) records in 30 or 60 fps which is good for taking normal videos but not for slow-mo recording. All the apps you see in playstore just slows down the fps and processes them to slow the video down, but this causes quality loss and an artificial feel to it.
So I don't think we will be about to get slow motion working.

Working Gcam APK port for G7 one!! (Pixel camera app)

Hi,
Just got my G7 One and the only disappointment was the camera. It is horrible out of the box. Horrible after updates.
So I found a Gcam port that works on my phone.
The difference in quality, performance and function is insanely better.
I tried a few APK's. This one runs beautifully, without any force closes or errors with my use so far.
Found it in another xda forum for the g7 thinq
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/themes/app-google-camera-gcam-lg-g7-thinq-t3855081
It's the first one listed.
That's great news. I just bought this phone from Koodo, waiting for it to arrive. What's the camera launch speed like? What about focus speed?
They both launch incredibly quickly. However, the Gcam, to me, seems to focus and react faster in every situation.
The stock cam gimmick AI cam can't tell something is not a hotdog.
The flags and settings in Gcam are a bit intimidating. You can do a lot of customization and tweaking.
Gcam is overall more intuitive, flexible, and capable.
Oh, and you can disable the shutter sound in Gcam. Not possible on the stock app.

The low light pics are good for me with the stock cam app
I'm glad you have had a positive experience.
I did not have that experience.
The first pics I took were low light and they looked like a 90s webcam was used... I'm only slightly exaggerating. That's what set me on the search for a different app.
Daytime pics seem ok. And the stock app does have some potential if they can get the AI cam to work.
But, this is my subjective opinion and experience.
Open camera is pretty cool too.
Hey Professorbondo, you mention its the first one at that link, but I'm assuming the first one has changed now (its a v6.1 apk). Do you recall the file name for it? Is it still working well for you? thanks in advance!
I installed the latest one for normal camera (rather than the one with normal/wide angle):
LGN1_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d.apk (cstark27, 2018-12-15, Normal angle only)
Definitely better than the stock one from LG. <But I am keeping the LG one around ... It is good for quick snapshots.>
However, there is no option to save the photos to SD card on this GCam, which may be problematic with our 32G internal storage. (I guess that is because the Pixels don't have SD card?)
EDIT: One flaw found - when Camera is invoked from Google Hangouts, it will not take pictures. (Pressing either on-screen button or vol button did nothing.)
Also noted occasional slow shutter response when used as standalone app, and it takes longer to be ready after a shot is taken. (This last is know issue with the Pixel's Cam ... guess it takes time to do post-processing.)
thanks for the heads up!
i chose the normal lens one as suggested in the previous post and have been quite impressed with the camera thus far. it feels a touch laggy at times but i don't take many pictures so it's not a huge deal and may just be perceptual on my end. low light performance is pretty impressive and the gcam app definitely feels like a big improvement on the stock camera app. cheers!
For anyone that comes across this thread, a well working gcam port for LG G7 ONE is linked here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79719119&postcount=326

The app crashes only in video rallenty mode.
I changed the 7.4 version below with 8.1 above.
Hi guys, I tried a lot of gcams, finally I found one that works well with 99% of features.
https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_eng.apk
I attach the config file by myself.
Only bug is video recording with aux cameras.
If someone found a better setting or a better combo (gcam+setting), please reply to this post
Does it make the camera better?
yes, really better. With the HDR+ Auto (non advanced), shots are also more quick than stock (that is really slow to be honest). The overall quality is very better, and night mode, potrait mode, astrography etc etc are a considerable plus. This are two shots made during this reply. IMG file is the Gcam, DCIM is Sony (1x cam, no adjustment, all auto).
the right one is with Gcam?

Well! The aux not working in video in original post was because I had the video stabilization on. Talking about photos, have you seen any colour balance difference between the cameras?

Yes, and focus goes in and out...stock camera focussing is spot on, for now, using the stock
The focus is good for me, better than stock, expecially in LL condition. Try my config disabling video stab.
I'm seriously considering getting this phone. Can anybody post more samples from GCam?

Hello, are you able to shot in RAW mode? That is Raw+Jpg?
thanks!
Yes, you can shot in raw+jpeg
I upload the last config file:
-the video stab. Is disabled because video capture with aux freeze the app.
-every gcam 7 feature is working well
-colors are quite different switching cameras, I suppose there's a little settings to do well. But this difference is already present in the stock camera app.

You are right, it just saves the RAW files in a different folder (Picture\RAW), that's why I wasn't able to see them!
Do you know if it's possible to save them in the same folder of the JPGs?
No I don't know, I just haven't this kind of need yet.
A little bit offtopic because I did not try GCam yet, but my 10iii arrived yesterday and the pictures (same objects, auto-mode, sony app & opencamera) are im comparison to my 4 year old XZ1c smaller in resolution and size (1,4mb vs 5,8mb) and quality almost as bad as the xz1c. Highest resolution I can set is 12MP in the settings. Are there any settings I have overseen? Or do I have to send it back and buy the Zenfone 8 although I loved Xperia phones since years?

I bought this phone at launch. And I will never change with a zenphone 8. I'm very happy with this phone and every update Sony made has solved a problem. I love it. So to come back on topic try the gcam in this post with the last setting.

Thanks, I just tried your GCam with the latest xml. Might be the best app for 10iii, shutter is quicker than stock, white balance and colors as well, but still the results are awful for a phone from 2021 if you compare it to the xz1c-pictures attached. I don't get it why Sony builts really good cameras (I'm on Canon, but anyway..) and the ones in their phones are bad. After 11 years Xperia-phones I'll go for the Zenfone now
