Best option for improved camera on Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Exynos - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi! I'm new here. I am a complete Android upgrade/update/root etc.. virgin. What I'd like to do is if possible. Instead of having to buy a Note 10 for vastly improved camera photo quality. Is there a camera mod for the Note 8 (Exynos) Is there a custom ROM thats known to have a great camera? I do currently have a version of Google Pixel Camera v5 which blows away the stock camera app but Google Camera's on v7 now. Also, is it possible to update my device to Android 10 etc? My goal here is simply, the best possible quality camera/photos. Thank you for any help in advance!

OxygenOS Camera Vs ......

Hello friends, I really like the stock camera and that's why I do not detach from the beta versions to another ROM (Although I really like RR), for the camera, I like, but ... read it that the google camera gives better results than the stock, if we consider it a post of "VS" which camera do you prefer? (I do not mean other devices, I mean the app).
Thank you for your time and have a great end of the year and a happy new year
it's pretty well documented that the OxygenOS camera on the OxygenOS ROM is the best performing camera on the OnePlus 3 due to the closed-source optimizations that OnePlus has done for this device.

Google camera on redmi note 5 pro

Hey there,
I've been using my redmi note 5 pro for more than a week now, and straight up the camera packed on this thing is really good. But for a tech YouTube like me, who compares this phones with the top flagship devices, the results are inconsistent.
First off I compared it with iPhone X, and was shocked with the results. The redmi note 5 pro performed so much better than the iPhone X. Now some people may say that comparing the two is not fair as there is a humongous price difference between the two. But xiaomi itself said that the phone was a natural competitor with phones like iPhone X and Google Pixel 2.
SO I HAD TO COMPARE IT WITH GOOGLE PIXEL 2 XL. But the results weren't so good. When compared to pixel's images, note 5 pro's images look washed out and soft. But it didn't lack completely back, as note 5 packing a bigger aperture did a little better than pixel 2 in low light situations, but again the results were pretty inconsistent. So at the end of the day no one can match Google's amazing algorithms of HDR+.
But I think if someone can port the Google camera in note 5 pro it will perform so much better as these two device pack almost identical camera hardware.
I'm not sure if camera 2 api is fully unlocked in this phone, can somebody please tell me how to do it. Do I just need to download the Google camera apk from the internet? I'm really curious to see how the redmi note 5 pro will perform with Google camera's algorithms.
Peace
You need to unlock your bootloader first and than flash twrp and magisk and than you can enable camera api 2 by editing Build.prop

Pixel has a bigger aperture, also with a larger pixel size than the note 5 pro... low light won't be better on the note 5 pro.
I rooted, enabled camera 2 api, installed google camera....but Google camera images had a lot of noise compared to stock camera(you can see noise on zooming into the pic)

Google cam cant make RN5Pro images better. No google phone has dual cameras so Gcam will always use single lens to capture images

Our phone is also using single lens to capture images except portrait
120 fps video recording
the soc snapdragon 636 can have the feature of 1080p recording at a frame rate of 120fps, so can we able to record this on redmi note 5 pro using any third party app by rooting?

yeah on redmi note 3
perhaps it is necessary to install modified driver for the camera. (if this exists).
in youtube i saw a video that teached where find and install the driver, then install google camera on a note 4.
the difference in the photo (with original driver and with modified driver + google camera) was remarkable.

The second camera in rn5p is a depth sensor! So the primary lens does all the work and gcam will only use the primary lens ! So why wont it make the images better.
Though for A1 both lens Gcam has been ported at it works great!!!

Dude, I'm too eager to see this. I have a Redmi 4 Prime and the Cameracam API enabled with Gcam have worked miracles on my photos. I'm looking forward to buying RN5P, but I'd like to see your photos better.

stock camera vs custom ROM camera

Hello friends,
I am very much concerned about camera quality.
I have my oneplus 3t in which I feel the ported GCAM is not better than stock oneplus camera in all lighting conditions.
But I want to know from you guys who use custom ROM in google pixel devices that
what camera is included in the custom ROM of Google Pixel 2 XL because for other OEMs, ported GCAM is available but here the device is itself made by google, and how is the camera quality as compared to the stock camera.
Please answer, so that I can take decision while buying a next pixel phone on the basis of xda community.
You get stock camera even in custom roms. I am AOSiP rom now and I am using stock apps. So basically you get everything thats stock with some customizations you can make.

Where to download working gcam for stock Redmi Note 8 Pro 128gb International

Hello. I have just ordered a Redmi Note 8 Pro - 128 GB
I am living in Turkey so i am guessing it is International
I want to use the phone with stock rom
So is that possible for me to install gcam? Or are there any app that makes the camera even better?
Looking for your answers thank you
t.me/rn8pro_gcam
Doesn't matter if it's international or the others. But yeah there is ongoing gcam porting for the note 8 pro
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...oogle-camera-rn8pro-edition-wyroczen-t3990731
This is the unpopular opinion, but truth be told, GCam for this phone as it is now is super sub par comparing to the stock camera app. There is MUCH more development to be done. You're better off sticking to the stock camera app unless you want to be a tester for wyroczen.
I also think that other than the fun of trying out Gcam, the stock cam is better, using night mode and/or HDR.
My understanding is that the Mediatek processor is the main barrier to having a good working build.

Question Picture quality using an AOSP Rom

Hi all,
I'm thinking about flashing LineageOS on my OnePlus 9 Pro (LE2120). A couple of days ago I read that the cooperation with Hasselblad for the camera contains 'only' the software- optimation. A hardware- optimation in cooperation with Hasselblad should come along with the future models.
So I suppose the software- optimation relates to the camera app of the Stock Rom and will be missing on an AOSP Rom. Do I guess right ? is there an App which works with the OnePlus 9 Pro camera in the same quality as the Stock Rom camera does ?
Thanks in advance.
No one has fully successfully ported Oneplus' camera software so it can be used with ROMs. People are working on it though. Some people report decent performance using Gcam although not quite as good as stock. I too am waiting for someone to figure out how to port oneplus' camera software. Last I read, CrDroid is working on it.
