Your mileage may vary and do at your own risk. I bricked a Moto Z Force years ago with a GCAM mod. This one works so far and it's definitely better than the stock app inside. I haven't tried it outside during the day or night. On this page under Android 7.2 the second one Arnova has worked. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-suggested/
I've only tried the specific beta listed there

This one works perfectly, you need to disable focus tracking https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1183/

I have not. Just turned off Google AWB and for the main camera selected white balance for the sensor which I think is the next to last one. If you do experiment and change stuff I'd love to see what you have also.

You know that lal this photos is full of defects?
Wihite stripes and dots around all the photos, full of luminance noise, and lack of focus.
Hope this will not be the results of gcam on this phone...

YMMV. I think it would be great for others to post their photos, good or bad. Most objective reviewers put its camera system somewhat below the main players. I take photos for my enjoyment. You clearly have a more discriminating eye. Maybe that's because I've used Moto phones. There are many comparison videos on YouTube. Maybe that would be a good resource for you, but I don't know that any use a gcam mod.

So, Up ti now the best gcam for moto Edge plus Is the :
Gcam 7.3 Burial beta 7
You can find my config xml attached.
Main Lens work Luke a charm, really much Better than stock app. White balance, details, contrast,.etc...
Night mode Is a Major improvement respect to the stock app.
The Zoom and UltraWide camera they actually works but with some White dots appearing on all the photos taken.
If Someone knows how to solve, It would be Amazing

Thanks. I've only taken a few shots but it looks to be a little cleaner with less noise? What changes are you seeing compared to the default configuration?

Anyone managed to get astrophotography working?

Would your "burial beta" work on a unrooted "stock" moto edge 5G? Stock moto needs some work, and Ive "self imposed" a moratorium on rooting it for six months into the warranty.

I think most people on this page have the Edge plus so unless someone has both I'm not sure you're going to get a lot of feedback. I bricked a Z Force with a gcam mod so I guess there's always some risk. But this is running on an unrooted Edge+ for what it's worth.

The Xiaomi Note Pro config. file seems to work well on the Edge plus with the burial gcam.

I'm assuming you mean the Mi 10 Pro, here's a telegram group for xml's for it that are good for the edge plus aswell.
t.me/mi10XMLs
And one for Gcams
t.me/gcamMI10
I use this XML.

Yes. Thank you. I've looked at both and picked up some configs. Still trying to figure out which ones I like.

Let me know which one you pick, looking for some good ones aswell. Also congrats on your 300th post. :good:

ciao, ho intenzione di acquistare un Edge plus. Spero che questa sia la discussione giusta per porre questa domanda, altrimenti mi scuso.
quale sensore usi per registrare video o creare storie su Instagram? Te lo chiedo perché attualmente sto scrivendo da un asus Zenfone 7pro e per i social utilizza non il sensore principale da 64MP stabilizzato ma quello grandangolare ritagliato con pessimi risultati. Grazie a chi risponderà.
installerò GCam sul mio dispositivo.

So I don't know if this is really better or not but it seems more stable and faster. It also doesn't have as many of those white dots when you zoom in on a photo. YMMV. Nikita NGCAM 8.1. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-Nikita/f/dl1/
I am using the middle option for the custom lib patcher (NR6...) as well as HDR+ enhanced frames 35, Google AWB off, 100% jpg.

Redmi Note 5 GLOBAL/CN gcam samples?

Hello Could someone with the global/CN version of this device (the f/1.9 aperture) post some comparison between the stock and gcam photos? I'm especiallly curious about how much it helps in low light situations. I've seen some comparison on youtube, but unfortunately the guy had Indian version of this device which has different camera.
Thank you in advance!
I would like to see this as well. Also, I wonder how google camera on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro compares to Xiaomi Mi A2 (performance/quality-wise)
Last one is in low light, the rest it seems are better detailed in gcam, also MIUI cam has trouble with red colors. Not a very big difference, not like kenzo with gcam.

Thank you very much, but I have to disagree there with you - many of the photos look a day and night difference to me, especially the chocolate rabbit; the stock camera sample is a grainy mess while GCAM turned it into a very decent photo. The petunia photo also shows much more details on the leaves and daylily looks just gorgeous on the gcam.
Thanks again, much appreciated :good:

Glad I could be of help.
Yes the low light photo has less noise than MIUI cam, I was mostly referring to the daylight photos. I own a Redmi Note 3, compared to stock MIUI camera, gcam on redmi note 3 takes 2-3 times better photos.
On RN5 the difference isn't as big as on RN3.
Have a look at these, some of them have even better details than RN5, in low light RN5 wins though. There's no need to tell which ones are from stock camera.

Mi Max 3 Gcam HDR+ vs Mi Max 2 Gcam HDR+?

Hi, was wondering if anyone could do a Mi max 2 Gcam HDR+ vs Mi max 3 Gcam HDR+ front and rear camera comparison? I would like to see the maximum potential of these two cameras to see how much it has improved and whether I should get this or just keep the Mi Max 2? Thank you!

Only a few people may have both of these phones and even fewer probably use gcam on them so I would not be to optimistic about someone posting a comparison. I have used the gcam mod on many different devices from Xiaomi and the results has more or less been the same. I would guess that Max 2 and Max 3
produce very similair results when using the gcam mod. Photo quality from smartphones are like 90% software optimization and 10% camera hardware quality.

Not at all. I owned a Redmi 5 Plus and Huawei Mate 10 at the same time. I prefered the low light photos from 5 Plus with gcam even tough Mate 10 has way better camera hardware.

It's true, I guess it was worth a shot. I'm only asking because I checked the mi max 3 vs pixel 2 gcam comparison on XDA the other day, and IMO the mi max 3 was better than the pixel 2 in almost all the shots, I was shocked myself, so I wanted to know if it improved by a lot when compared to the mi max 2.

In January I posted a comparison between Redmi 5 Plus and Mi 5S, using the ported gcam app on both phones.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/72157692005458944
Even though Mi 5s has a "much better" image sensor, the photo quality was very close IMO. The reason? As I said earlier, the photo quality from smartphone cameras is mostly about software optimizations.
IMO all phones produce more or less the same results when using Gcam and HDR+. You may find minor differences here and there, but not any large differences.
I'm waiting Max 3 6G/128G. As I know Max 3 has all Samsung camera sensors which are more compatible with GCam so result will be better. HDR+ processing speed also improved on higher performance Max 3
I got both phone. And also the third one, the mi max prime, first of all! ^^.
All are rooted. But i'm in vacation. So... You need to wait. But I can allready said that mi max 3 cam is more more capable that cam of the mi max 1...

The stock one. I have trouble with magisk module and i'm unable to install camera2api...
I have both Mi Max 2 and 3, both with GCam installed (but different versions)
The Max 3 has more/different GCams available (that don't crash), and thus has better quality

You should do yourself a favor and install a custom OS anyways, and have your phone rooted
One of the reasons I prefer Android is rooted apps that give me a more pleasant experience, like Adblock, custom keyboard add-ons, Xposed
It also takes 1 second to apply the Gcam patch if your phone is rooted

MIUI is getting alot better these days with all those extra features too.
we pretty much only need a custom kernel to squeeze more juice / performance from it and that's it.

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+

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?

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

Question Is there a way to run samsung expert raw on the A52s ?

It is no secret the a52s camera is decent at best mostly because of the poor Samsung camera processing and by using Gcam for example the photos are better in every way, Samsung expert raw seems to improve the photos even on the s21u and from what It is apparently running on the a72 so why can't I run it on the a52s even tho it has much better CPU/GPU ?! If you have a method that can help running it, please share it ^_^

It would be so much better with raw support especially with Lightroom
[deleted] Sorry, I mixed up A52 & A52s...
This is a blog about a52s. However you want raw outside the stock camera app?
Try lmc8.4r6 or r9 if you want it https://t.me/GalaxyA52A72Gcam here is telegram group
