Unlocking 4K/120fps on Exynos 9810 chipset

According to this article (https://www.gsmarena.com/check_out_tfirst_samsung_galaxy_s9_benchmarks-news-29813.php), the 9810 can shoot [email protected] but purposely disabled to maintain parity with SD845.
Can any devs comment on whether it is possible to unlock this feature for Exynos chipsets?

Well no one has the phone so no one knows...

Believe me when I say I will definatly try to unlock that option if the phone is capable of root and I can decrypt the camera app.... I've done it for the note 3-7 but gave up after getting busy... I'd also turn off the 5 minute rule

Nice to hear such devs are available who like to use all camera potential locked by business OEM . Please sir can you make 60/120fps 1080 to work on mi mix 2. Also 240fps @720p. Because sir Moto Z2 force has same imx 386 sensor same as mi mix 2 but it can do all above said. Xiaomi locked mi mix 2 only @30fps at any video. And slow Mo @120fps. Please help sir

Ohhhh that's a problem. Bye the way thank you. It means my mix 2 will remain pathetic in video department.

Buffers for 1080p/480 are most probably hardlocked somewhere in the kernel or samsung camera API or in the rom itself, the best answer we may have here is from @zeroprobe .

Gcam HDR+ on the S9?

Hey guys, really considering the S9 but will likely be modding it a bit.
If anyone's got it and doesn't mind testing quickly, does Gcam HDR+ work on either SD or Exynos variants? I believe the one from this thread is the most up-to-date.
Seriously hoping we'll eventually be able to pick which aperture to use in Gcam

Visit this site and download every version of the app. I am using on my LG G5 and it's working very well. I have tested it on samsung galaxy s7 with exynos and also worked very well.

Thanks, but yeah I have tested extensively on my S7 and know how well it works. I was just wondering if it works as well on the S9, which I don't have.

Doesnt work... Just tested it on Exynos 9+

Latest version (V8) force closes. However, version 7 seems to work fine.

Thanks for testing guys. I just bought mine so will post my tests after Tuesday.

I just get a black screen when trying pretty much any settings combo, what settings are you using?

Same here. V8 and recently released 8.1 FC immediately on the S9+, but V7 works fine.

I don't use it. It was merely for testing purposes. I've always been happy with Samsung's stock camera.

I think GCam works way better with Snapdragon models.

what makes you think that?
I have heard it was working better on exynos most of the time
unless you are talking about only s9

The one I use is MGC_5.1.016_7.0+C2API_v.1.3c_AllinOne.apk, HDR+ works fine and makes a noticable difference in certain scenarios, best of both
All others with portrait mode enabled either black screen or force close.

Unfortunately i don't take that many photos, they're mostly of my dog
It works well enough for me on the Exynos s9 plus but i can;t compare to the s7
No portrait mode currently

That port doesnt apply post processing...
Not any works in Galaxy s9 like the miniuser one in s8

I tried some version from the site and that you all said on the s9+ exynos but very buggy and almost dont work...
there is some stable version+settings that work well?with portrait and all?
the samsung camera app is suck in term of colors and some "pop"

Doesn`t the normal SD chipset work for everyone not on the exynos chip?
Holding my fingers crossed for a Exynos port of the Gcam for the Ultra. Even with the camera update it seriously smears the texture on photos and have had some horrible portrait photos as a result.
Most annoying part is that if you use the pro mode you get excellent results without any smeared skin tones but using the main camera set on auto without bixby scene detection and 12mp binned photos it sure looks like **** most of the time.
I think Samsung REALLY needs to improve a lot on the camera or it will be the biggest camera failure in the last 10 years....
So unless you mainly post to instagram and actually want to print pictures I suggest you use the 108mp setting and give it a quick sharpening in snapseed (or lightroom for some much needed defringing and sharpening)
So I´m holding out hope for a Gcam port for us stuck with the Exynos chipset that seems to produce slightly worse then the Snapdragon powered Ultra.
Other then that, I love the S20 Ultra and a worthy upgrade from my old S8+

The need for HDR in bright daylight is almost non exsistent.

I cant understand. I have oneplus 6.... crapy photie... I gave up and bought S20 Ultra... even crappier photos..... what is going on?????
With gcam one plus 6 photos almost looks great...
Should I sell S20 and buy Xiaom 10?
Hardware in S20 should be much better than in mi 10... but looks like software is crap??
Thank you for suggestions

What do you suggest?

if you can get snapdragon go for s20 if not just go for oppo xfinder x2 or mi 10 pro if camera is important for you, if you want the best camera go for p40 check dxomark.com for camera rankings although p40 have no google services but can be installed in less than 10 minutes

So for EU (Exynos) version of S20 Ultra there is no hope?

Hi,

I use ZGCAM vers.917 on my EXYNOS S20 Ultra (XEF) :
-Night mode front and back
-PhotoBooth
-Photo Sphère (bugs sometimes)
-Slow Motion
-Zoom
-Video
-Google Lens
-Portrait (back and Front)
-Panorama
pictures looks better with stock in most of the cases (Night shoots) but with the correct settings i think GCAM will be much better than stock.
with the virus it's hard for me to spend a lot time outside to find the best set up but i think it's a good begining.
I can't share my pictures or setting for the moment( need 10 usefull posts before..)
let me know if you need more details

It is working!!
First app that has worked for me until now
Thank you very much
Do you know the best settings to use this cam on auto? Never worked with Gcam before
---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------
Actually, when I try night mode it shuts down the camera

Is there a good GCAM? (Snapdragon)

I just sold my Exynos Ultra. The reason was the camera which for anything that moves even a little was just not very good. ZGCAM based on GCAM version 6 worked ok ish if a little slow but of course no v7 on Exynos yet.
I have had half an eye on a snapdragon one but looking on the interweb there does not seem to be a lot of traffic relating to a GCAM. I know that the 865 is a newer chip than the Pixel which may play a part.
So is there a good GCAM on the Snapdragon? Either plus or Ultra.
