A working Gcam for our phone, because we deserve it:
BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
(always use this version: org.codeaurora.snapcam)
Compared to the stock camera, the shutter is faster and the colours are somewhat more vibrant. Haven't had a chance to compare night modes yet.
If you have an XML setup to recommend, please do share.

Nice thanks! Do you know how to set it as the default camera app? I tried disabling the op camera app, but now I cannot open my camera from my lock screen.

The option should be under app info > advanced settings.

Weird how 4K 60fps only works on the ultrawide camera and not the main camera.
Is there any gcam mod that allows to record 8k and 4k/120fps? BTW I tried many mods and I did not find any with all functionalities available: all cameras, motion photos, night sight etc. If motion photos available, only single camera can be used, etc.
I also don't understand why they decided to remove all languages other than English from all mods. Original Gcam supports many languages.

Not at the moment, as far as I know but our device's release happend less than a month ago so the development is still in early stages. BSG is quite fast at updates so hopefully it'll eventually happen.

What is much more simple? Additional languages strings are original from Google, no need to touch them. Of course, additional custom settings will appear in English only, because they won't be translated.
Additional effort required to remove all translations. So it's opposite to what you are saying

That's the package signature. On some phones, using the Snapcam one allows access to the auxiliary cameras (ultrawide, telephoto).

I think so, yes. I read Snapcam is recommended for phones from BBK-owned smartphone brands. However keep in mind a brand could "block" the access to auxiliary cameras at any moment. For example Samsung blocked access to the selfie camera, so in GCam ports, the selfie camera just does not work on Samsungs... Not sure if they have fixed it, but I know it's been a problem for Samsung users.

I don't think there's a way to track it, just gotta visit the celsoazevedo page from time to time. Although most updates are minor, so don't worry about that.

You can download a XML file, and import it to the GCam app. It will import settings from the file, so if you find a XML file for the 9 Pro BSG Gcam port, just download it and import it via the app. Also you can create XML files yourself, and share them if you want as well.

Some manufacturers have even coded things to prevent third-party cameras from using the phone's full camera resolution capabilities. On OnePlus devices they could be locked to 12 MP, even the main camera.

Nothing, really. They just have different signatures. If you find that certain additional modules (Magisk flashables that add or enhance a device's camera functions) don't work, try the other. Some devices have a camera version signed specifically for them (ie, Samsung phones) because of this. It just happens that the snapcam signature seems to work best on our device.
I'm having some nasty issues with a strong lilac purple pink RAW files from Gcam recently. It makes it unusable. It worked fine before but suddenly this problem started happening, perhaps it came after a system update. :/

We'll, it's not a secret that Google's image processing slightly saturates the colours and beautifies photos. Not a bad thing imho.

This thread is aimed to be as simple as possible.
I found 2 apks that worked for me. I created this thread because I'm sick of scrolling through the comments on which one works, and which one doesn't. So, here it is.
*NOTES* All Pixel Gcam mods will have autofocus issues. These don't have any quality degradation from my testings.
1. @fu24 Pixel 2 Gcam v.5.2.025-Final - Everything works. But I recommend to use this only for the front camera.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-17f.apk
2. @cstark27 Pixel 3 Gcam P3v10.1 - This is the best in terms of focus hunting, when taking pics, don't tap to focus. Let the app hunt for focus until it's clear. If it won't focus on the object, just switch between portrait and normal mode. Sometimes the pic comes out a bit soft. I'd recommend you to take multiple pics and select the clearest one. Thanks to @Sonudbm for mentioning this apk. The front camera still doesn't work.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/P3v10.1_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
I will update this thread whenever there's a better version(s).

Raw capture gives you vastly more detail than jpeg (or JPG), but with the cost of lower picture quality, it can be fixed by editing the photos. I'd recommend the 1st one, if you don't want all the flashy features. If you night sight mode as well, install the 2nd one along side.

Same here :/
Neither of these updates fix the focus issue with it endlessly refocussing. Does anyone know what the actual issue is with the Mi A1 and Pie? Is a Dev looking into this specifically. This is the only way it'll get fixed. Seems like no one knows it's an issue?
Sorry to say this, but both cameras have focus issues..
Does any one know Whether there is a 9.0 pie custom rom where no focus issue on GCam.
(i won't bother about green tint issue though)
I am still on 8.1 until we get something that works perfectly, do I need to unlock my bootloader and install the Camera 2 API again or that is not necessary?
Sorry to break it to all of you, but I really personally think that this autofocus issue is device dependent. I would recommend you to try random Gcam apks from that site (that's what I did). I think every device would have different apks that works for them.

Haters will say it's wrong!
Hello people!!
There is no GCAM Port of pixel 3 (the one with night mode) that fully works on PIE on MI A1. I have tested every recent version of every developer on the page of Celso Azevedo. In almost every version, all things work, except for portrait mode with front camera (green tint present when HDR enable) This is not what we want, because there is a huge difference between portrait with or without HDR.
The only one version that I find that it is working on portrait with HDR is one for pixel 2 (it hasn´t got night mode) from ARNOVA. The version is: gcam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-v8.3b1.apk. This is my actual camera now.
I hope some developer could accomplish the same but with pixel 3 gcam mod.
Greetings !!!!

It works with wide angle, however, the RAW is still not working. If you enable RAW it will make take the image and it will be roughly 20 MB, however, when you look at the image it is very blurry and the resolution is 600-700.
The flash is also not working. The picture will be taken but not saved on normal angle with no crashing. On wide angle for some reason, you cant enable flash.

I find the Samsung Camera app unusable due to the image quality.
In terms of GCam, I found the S10 port had the best quality, not sure if its just my mind playing tricks on me or what. I've been using version 6.1.021 with the profile from the link below.
No wide angle, no raw, flash works, but the quality seems the best. Hopefully someone can fix wide angle and raw support on this version.

ok let me start custom roms blow stock out of the water but the only thing that made me go back to stock was the camera app , in my opinion gcam struggles to focus I do consider myself a a photography pro , that being said , i love the performance of the customs roms overstock , hands down, but the default camera is the deal breaker in my opinion, g-cam struggles to focus , especially in macro mode , I do hope some one port the ANX camera to a custom rom ... just my 2 cents and I tried them all Gcam / configs so save your breath...
I agree, the stock cam is just better, more convenient and faster imo. Luckily for me I dont care much about photos.
Sorry I got that wrong.

It's true, thanks to a user of this forum that I don't remember the name I was able to use the Gcam for normal and night photos but the macros are still a problem.
Another thing that is making me think about going back to Stock ROM is that there is no support and continuity of updates.
I really love the stock camera too. But for Macros or really close photos it can't focus could you give me a tip, to improve it.
Does any custom rom support the stock camera app?

Hi,
right after taking the picture the app closes, the picture is saved but every time I have to reopen the app. If I take a photo in night mode the app closes and the photo is not saved.

on my A52s 5G (SM-A528B) most recent version of gcam that works is 8.1, anything higher force closes immediately.
I got the best results with this mod: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/

Thank you! Can you do raw/dng bracketing with this version? (-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 EV series)

Yeah you can configure really a lot of stuff, though I didn't test the raw mode.
But I created a config with some moderate changes to image quality and general configuration for the different lenses of the device since the provided ones didn't work properly for me.
Could share, if you like.

Sure, many thx! I'll try to dig in the raw story, because this sensor definitely has more potential then the 8bit jpegs.
Here it is!
A few notes: The most relevant options I changed are in Settings -> Modules.
For the lenses to properly work I had to set the option "Session of photo modes" for each lens to 61448 OR 61444 (both work).
You can tune every lens individually there, which is a pretty nice option to have. Most changes are really subtle. I spent a lot of time with the night mode and the HDR/Image Processing settings. Its really just a base config on which you can build up.
Easiest way imho is to only change one option at a time and take test photos. You really can get lost in there but I rather enjoyed it!
Enjoy!

Thank you!
You're very welcome, I'm happy to be useful.
I have a problem with the latest version (now) the viewfinder just freezes after few seconds of opening the camera.
Tried MGC_8.4.500_A10_V6 and MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
And I'm on the latest one ui 4.1

You're footer mentions Xiaomi Mi 9, but since you are asking here I am assuming you are using an A52s?
MGC 8.4 is not so interesting because it lacks many image quality features that the 8.1 series has. So MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix is the way to go with MGC.
For the A52s viewfinder freezing is a known issue that you have to work around. And in later 8.1 series they slightly changed the way it is fixed, which means older config files don't apply the fix correctly.
I think the config file shared in this thread earlier was very similar to the common luke config file, so I attached a version of the luke config file that also fixed the freeze on the GV1zfix version. You can load it by double tapping next to the shutterbutton (or from Settings|Configs|Load in the app).
(and there is endlessly more discussion about gcam on A52s in this thread).
Thread closed. Please continue your discussion here.
