Any reason why the latest google+ release notes said full resolution image upload however instant upload photos are still compressed down to 2080x?
I really was excited to think that I could use the google+ app as a cloud based backup of my photos... looks like I will still rely on photocloud.
Thoughts?
I have wondered the same thing. Also, are previously backed up photos (with version 1 of google plus instant upload) are they re-uploaded in higher resolution? Or do I have to pull them off the instant upload folder and force it to re-sync?
when you download it form google + its the full pic

That is incorrect. I just used the "Download Full Size" in google+ and it gave me a file that was compressed and resized down to 2080x.
Pictures are automatically resized to 2048 pixels on their longest edge.

I am paying for 80GB of storage. Why are my images resized and reduced to lower quality?
Because they are crappy noisy smartphone pictures anyway? You can still manually upload the full res image to picasa if you are convinced that it is good enough to store it at 5 MP.
So I don't get to have a choice because you think my camera is crappy? Google wants me to buy storage. They should encourage me to upload full resolution photos. Thanks very little for your useless reply.
You still replied
Anyway, I know the camera is crap, I've got one in my pocket.
yeah it is. but still
PixelCam Origin
To tell how PixelCam came about, we need to go back a little bit in time.
The year was 2019. Jairo Rossi always had input devices, and that prevented him from using any Gcam mod, which required at least intermediate hardware.
After joining a Brazilian group on Gcams, he noticed that Nathan, one of our administrators, posted a photo taken from a Gcam, using the Lenovo K6 Plus with Custom ROM.
Knowing this, Jairo Rossi went after a K6 Plus that was not in use at a relative's house, and did all the root process and installation of a Custom ROM 64Bit.
But there was a catch: most of the available Gcams did not fully function on the K6 Plus, with the exception of the Urnyx bases. The only obstacle was the front camera that was greenish, regardless of the settings.
It was at that moment that Jairo Rossi approached Urnyx on Telegram to ask if he could fix this bug. Faced with Urnyx's denial on account of the device being input, Jairo Rossi then tried another approach: learn from Urnyx about how to modify the Gcam to be able to correct this error and even make the modifications themselves.
After the entire learning process, with a lot of persistence from Jairo Rossi and Urnyx's willingness to help, a correction was made to the front of the K6 Plus.
With all the knowledge acquired, Jairo Rossi started to research and modify everything that was necessary to make the modifications and corrections. Each change to an item in the settings menu sounded like a victory!
Feeling the need for better hardware than the K6 Plus, Jairo Rossi once again comes across a picture of Nathan in the Gcam group. The device was a Zenfone Max Pro M1.
Then, Jairo Rossi acquired this same device, with more advanced hardware, and started making more significant changes. There came Gcams like Thor, Odin, a group to promote this work, all based on Gcam 6.2.
At this time of Zenfone, Jairo Rossi joined his project with another project based on Gcam, which was where HyperCam emerged.
After working at Hypercam and leaving it with wide compatibility with several devices, and a very good quality, Jairo Rossi, together with the encouragement and partnership of Oswaldo Venâncio from the Morpheu Tech channel on YouTube, decided to head for another, even more ambitious project: PixelCam.
With PixelCam, Jairo Rossi was able to keep Gcam up to date, using the latest bases, and adding even more really useful functions. And now you all know the superior quality of PixelCam, with absurd clarity and unparalleled quality in the most adverse scenarios we have, such as environments with very low light. All this thanks to the dedication of Jairo Rossi, the creation of the XML files of the administrators and all the dedication of the BetaCam beta testers.

Which Pixel cam is indicated for Nokia 7 plus? Does it work slow motion?
Since android 10 no gcam mode could manage to make slow motion working again...
Thanks in advance

change to 4:3 ratio.
Yep,this solve the issue,thanks so much,but sadly I did record video too at 4K and when screen share on TV I got rectangle screen.
So I suppose I need to change to 4:3 while recording video,too,huh?
Do I record vids/pics when phone held vertically or horizontally?
Hi community,
did someone here also experienced third party cameras stopped working in combination with a GCam Mod installation?
Description
I tried some GCam Mods and found the PX Mod, v4.3 working for my device. I did some photo sessions with the HDR+ mode and also with the PhotoSphere (360°) mode. It worked very well.
But two weeks later i wanted to take some photos and the Camera PX wasn't able to store photos. The viewfinder works and the animation while taking a picture too. But nothing is stored.
Then over cable i looked into the storage with my PC. It shows a green image for each photo i took. The JPGs only are roughly 100 KB in size.
When i take photos with the default Nokia Camera the images are normal as always.
I thought i broke the GCam Mod and some files may be corrupted. But then i wanted to take an image with the Telegram Camera for sharing it directly in the app. Telegram also couldn't save photos. The same behavior like in Camera PX.
After that i tried to install a newer GCam Mod. (GoogleCamera 8.2.204 Mod, Version: 1.7 Greatness) But it behaves like the other Mods and the Telegram camera.
Question
Does anybody maybe know what could have been corrupted?
Greetings, kreativum
So this phone has a Snapdragon processor, meaning that it will be able to install and use Google Camera
I have tried many mods and this one is the best so far (still has a lot of artificial), Night Sight works really great and the image quality is not as soft as on the regular camera app!

Download the file from the Gcam hub then use the Galaxy A52's config file.
I also want to hear from you guys if you guys found a better mod, thanks you!
from my testing
There's 2 version that work with A23
The 1st works perfectly, with 1 issue, only the main camera works, if you enebled the other cameras it will crash
Imho though it takes the best pictures with the main camera
It's GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.6

I'll update the file once i get everything working
Also attached a compressed file, for the denoise model to a23 sensor specifically, i got it from a dev gdrive but i don't remeber which, so all credit to him
Extract the Ip and In the cam options go to lens settings and go to main and inside you'll find noise model, inside load the *.c file from the extracted folder
Note/ (the attached file has the denoise zip + the config file)
1- top shot doesn't work while hdr is on , hdr has to be off
2- enabling frequent faces will xause the camera to keep crashing, keep it turned off
3- hdrnet os off becaue ot degrades the quality when enebled but you can eneble and try

Sorry I actually messed up a little bit
So the Urnyx works excellent, way better than the stock camera app. I don't know why it makes every photo look so bad. Google Camera just works way better.
Here's some samples from the Urnyx version for anyone who wants more detailed:
However, the Urnyx version may not work really well while in dark areas. Here is an example. I will compare it to the Google Camera version that I posted:
(The darker one is the Urnyx version, the brighter on is the BSG)
The BSG version is brighter, but it also has a lot of noise. It's also way larger.

It's the post processing of the image I think, Samsung didn't spend much time or money on it because it's considered a budget phone
The exact same sensor used on other phones (like Xiaomi) produce much better images

Yeah I think they just try too hard on noise reduction but ended ruining the whole image. These look so soft and don't have many details as I expected. I'm thinking of upgrading to A33 to have better camera experience and good software support but I'm afraid that the photos will just look as bad as on the A23.

I wouldn't recommend a33 over a23
the only good thing about the 33 is the amoled screen, the camera will probably be the same, and the processor is much worse, the A23 has a Snapdragon arm 64 processor,, the A33 has Exynos 1280 and it's only arm not arm64, and most gcams are 64 only so you probably wouldn't be able to even run gcam on 33
if you'll upgrade i would go more up the ladder like A52s
Btw, GCam 8.1 from BSG received some bug fixes since the one linked in the main post. The latest one is MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b. The configs should be compatible.

Do you know why are photos saved in such small resolution (1080×1440 or 1440×1080) instead of 4080×3060 or 3060×4080? I just take a picture with it and it looks so blurry. I have choosen the photo resolution to full resolution but it didn't fix the issues.
Thanks first, I'm just a newbie so I don't know too many things. The config I loaded is the Galaxy A52 since it worked great in the version that I shared.

Thanks you for your advice. The A52s is really great but in Vietnam is it so expensive it is 2x the price of the A23. Also, it has the same price as the S20 FE.
(The images below are from 2 big retailers in our country, CellphoneS and Thế giới di động, since A52s isn't available in Thế giới di động store and S20FE isn't available in CellphoneS anymore).

No, I don't know why that's happening. Is there any difference in file size between "Identical RAW" and "Full Resolution"? And have you start fresh with the new version (clean app data)? Also, after a clean install, test before loading the config file.
If nothing works, maybe try asking BSG on his thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-mod-google-camera-by-b-s-g.4201665/
@Daybyday_6969 wanted to ask you something off topic ...
does the notification on your a23 wake the screen...
i mean the screen is off and just the small notification comes and screen turns off again.
