Develop Bugs

Google Camera is finally here people ??

Yes you read it correct our long wait is over now. Now we too can enjoy the amazing processing of gcam. Everything works like a charm and there is a significant improvement in the quality. I'm sure this will get better as this is obiously an early build.
And it's not the pixel 2 camera but it's the pixel 3 one!..
Here's what works:
*Portrait mode on both front and back cams(only on humans)
*HDR+, HDR+ enhanced
*Panorama (super glitchy for now)
*And pretty much everything else
*Night mode ( slight improvements only)
*Photo Sphere
Here's what doesn't work:
*Live Google lens
At first the images will look dead.So after you install it you need to increase the saturation. Go to settings , bsg mod settings , saturation and change saturation of front and back cam.
Literally all the credit goes to @xdaakhil for digging this up. If you want to thank someone thank him.
Well my thanks button is down there too ?
Working on :
Honor 9 Lite
Honor 7X
Honor P Smart
Mate 10 Lite
P20 Lite
Honor 6x
keep testing
Edit: video and photos sphere works after changing the default storage to internal. Don't know why it doesn't work with the SD card?
Photo sphere is also very buggy
Photos cannot be clicked without enabling HDR+ or HDR+ enhanced.
There is a pinkish tint on highlights. This can be overcome if you guys focus on the lit(highlights) part by tapping on the viewfinder.
This port can work without root or any modifications.

? Don't know why that happened. Try downloading it again.

To those of you who who don't know why portrait only work on humans:
Gcam doesn't utilise the secondary camera that comes with the device as pixel phones have a single lens setup. The portrait is completely software based. You can check this, cover the secondary lens and click a portrait pic, it'll work!
This is also very useful as we will get good quality blur and edge detection like flagships in our budget phones as the software processing is the same in both apps.
So the camera cannot detect Dept between the subject and background as it only uses one lens.

Hello,
please, tell me, did you find optimal settings of gcam for our phone? Saturation and HDR+? I am testing it but I am not finding the perfect combination yet.

Well im also a bit confused about the perfect match.
But this is what I use:
Pixel 3 as the input method in both front and rear cams(for the super res zoom to work)
Saturation, rear cam highlights 2.7 shadow 2.9
Front cam highlights 2.2 shadow 2.6
Tweak around yourself but I couldn't get the cam to take a picture like it is shown in the viewfinder and the skin tones are better in the viewfinder than the final photo ( the details are far better though)

Thank you Fredin. I will test it.

Been lurking for a while, just registered to say thanks, works nicely the difference is pretty big! Panoramic mode is slow and buggy for me but photosphere does the same thing anyway and works well, lastly, is the RAW picture supposed to look really low resolution like it does for me?

It's working on P Smart as well, will be testing more tomorrow.

It's good to know that you guys find it useful but it's been digged up by @xdaakhil I don't want to steal his work, I just

Anyways thanks guys. Keep testing

Yeah the raw shots do look like it's of low quality(don't know why). But since this build wasn't built for us this is really good.
Only if someone ports the camera for Kirin devices.
Anyways good to hear from you.

I'm not sure as slow motion recording requires hardware support which our phones dosent have.
Normally phones (including ours) records in 30 or 60 fps which is good for taking normal videos but not for slow-mo recording. All the apps you see in playstore just slows down the fps and processes them to slow the video down, but this causes quality loss and an artificial feel to it.
So I don't think we will be about to get slow motion working.

Yup, its working on my honor 9 lite like boom but 1 thing I would like to ask is that it supports any image stabilisation or not.

Working Gcam APK port for G7 one!! (Pixel camera app)

Hi,
Just got my G7 One and the only disappointment was the camera. It is horrible out of the box. Horrible after updates.
So I found a Gcam port that works on my phone.
The difference in quality, performance and function is insanely better.
I tried a few APK's. This one runs beautifully, without any force closes or errors with my use so far.
Found it in another xda forum for the g7 thinq
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/themes/app-google-camera-gcam-lg-g7-thinq-t3855081
It's the first one listed.

That's great news. I just bought this phone from Koodo, waiting for it to arrive. What's the camera launch speed like? What about focus speed?

They both launch incredibly quickly. However, the Gcam, to me, seems to focus and react faster in every situation.
The stock cam gimmick AI cam can't tell something is not a hotdog.
The flags and settings in Gcam are a bit intimidating. You can do a lot of customization and tweaking.
Gcam is overall more intuitive, flexible, and capable.
Oh, and you can disable the shutter sound in Gcam. Not possible on the stock app.

The low light pics are good for me with the stock cam app

I'm glad you have had a positive experience.
I did not have that experience.
The first pics I took were low light and they looked like a 90s webcam was used... I'm only slightly exaggerating. That's what set me on the search for a different app.
Daytime pics seem ok. And the stock app does have some potential if they can get the AI cam to work.
But, this is my subjective opinion and experience.
Open camera is pretty cool too.

Hey Professorbondo, you mention its the first one at that link, but I'm assuming the first one has changed now (its a v6.1 apk). Do you recall the file name for it? Is it still working well for you? thanks in advance!

I installed the latest one for normal camera (rather than the one with normal/wide angle):
LGN1_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d.apk (cstark27, 2018-12-15, Normal angle only)
Definitely better than the stock one from LG. <But I am keeping the LG one around ... It is good for quick snapshots.>
However, there is no option to save the photos to SD card on this GCam, which may be problematic with our 32G internal storage. (I guess that is because the Pixels don't have SD card?)
EDIT: One flaw found - when Camera is invoked from Google Hangouts, it will not take pictures. (Pressing either on-screen button or vol button did nothing.)
Also noted occasional slow shutter response when used as standalone app, and it takes longer to be ready after a shot is taken. (This last is know issue with the Pixel's Cam ... guess it takes time to do post-processing.)

thanks for the heads up!
i chose the normal lens one as suggested in the previous post and have been quite impressed with the camera thus far. it feels a touch laggy at times but i don't take many pictures so it's not a huge deal and may just be perceptual on my end. low light performance is pretty impressive and the gcam app definitely feels like a big improvement on the stock camera app. cheers!

For anyone that comes across this thread, a well working gcam port for LG G7 ONE is linked here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79719119&postcount=326

Head's up!
All BSG Builds for Mi 9 SE are 100% compatible with our LG G7 One (LM-Q910UM) device!
For now, this is the latest APK Build:

Question Best cam app for this phone?

Hello. As you may know, because of this phone's processor, the GCam app port does not work. Are there any alternatives, or anything you've found to have worked better than the default app, even partially? GCam Go app, or other?
Also, on another note, I've disabled the Samsung gallery app in favor of Google Photos but now the regular Samsung camera app won't preview pictures. Which system app should I reenable with ADB? Thank you.
(I'm all ears to other tips and tricks for this phone as well.)

The GCam that worked for me is PenguinGCam v7.0-hotfix1

For quick photos, the default camera is good. Also if you want to use some of the built-in special features like slowmo, pano, etc.
If you want something more pro, i got manual camera and it works fine; it let's me control the focal distance manually. It also has some cool features aside of the manual mode, like time-lapse (the only good app available to capture time-lapses was LapseIt and, unfortunately, the pro versions is not available anymore due to the last update being years ago so you can't capture in high res). I discovered manual camera a few weeks ago because the pro version was in sale (free).

I just tried it, but I can't get the manual focus to work (it doesn't get affected by the slider at all) so it's not pretty useful as a pro camera for me. I don't know if it's just me or it happens to every A32.
Also, i already have the pro version of manual camera so i'll stick with that one for now. Thanks anyway!

Does any of those apps offer a good option for low light photography?
GCam GO works ok (it is much better than stock app for that purpose), but I was wondering if there is any other app with similar results for low light compared to the original GCam (which has better results than GCam Go).
Thanks in advance!

It worked much better than any gcam apk I've tried, the image appears on the screen on this one
Do you know the recommended settings or specific xml file I should use?
Unfortunately only the "hypercam" and "video" modes works, Night Sight and Portrait modes just give me a black screen.
Edit: nevermind, I've just tested hypercam on my Nokia 7.2 and the night sight is not the same as the GCam apk, the results are very similar to GCam GO actually. (the Samsung A32 is my wife's new phone, I was trying to install gcam because she was very impressed with the low light pictures I take with my phone using it).
Thanks though! Tmj

Question Gcam for Edge X30 / Edge 30 Pro / Edge Plus 2022 (Working Night Mode, Face Retouch + Config File)

Hi All,
This may be the best Gcam version for Edge X30.
I created the config file to make everything work flawlessly.
1. Face retouch working for all cameras
2. Night sight is also working
3. Tweaked the post processing a little to brighten up the shadows but still keep the exposure the same (no overblown highlights)
Install Gcam and load config file.

Working great here, only 60 fps video is lag.

Will this work with the moto edge 30 pro? Its the global version of edge X30.

@aniketk1 , works on Moto Edge 30 Pro without a problem.

would it be ok to try this on the edge plus 2022? thanks

What about the new Edge 30, will it work? I don't wanna brick the phone... Thanks in advance

How do I move the options arrow toggle thing? Almost entire convered by the pin hole front cam, took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit to figure out how to get to the camera settings

Thank you a lot for providing this XML file. However, I would like to know if there is any way to enable the Macro feature (available in the original Moto camera). I've tried modifying the configuration, with manual Focus and activating the Third Axilliary Camera (which resulted b/w, by the way) but I couldn't achieve it.
If someone has any info about that, or another config, I would be extremely grateful!
PS: I have an Edge 30 Pro

Yeah the pro mode is actually great! I was just trying to get good hdr raw files from the gcam, I got used to my now dead Mi 10T Pro, it had a great camera, but was worse than this in everything else :')
I just reloaded the config file and the photos seem better on the normal cameras. Selfie cam has purple/reddish on the border of the image.

The app works very well! The only problem I encountered is that trying to use the ultrawide sensor in video mode, the app crashes.
Using moto edge 30.
Any way I can fix?
Thanks!

Easy fix. Go to Settings > Advanced > Black Level
Back Camera - auto
Front Camera - off

I also have another problem, in astro mode it doesn't do long exposures, is there a way to make it do long exposures?
On my Xiaomi Mi10T Pro it could do astro photography with multiple long exposures and it could take arround 2min.
Also even on my older Lenovo P2 it could do 10sec long exposures.
Please help, I wanna put this mediocre camera up to its paces

Hey just wanted to point out, if you have the video in I believe 60 frames per second, if you switch to the front camera, then back to the main shooter, it causes the program to crash.
Not sure if that's caused by my lack of knowledge of where to put the config file, I just saved a random config, and copied over what was posted in this thread into that folder, then deleted the one I created.

Guys, can you post some Night Sight pics taken with Gcam and Edge 30 phones?

Question GCAM FOR REDMI NOTE 12 TURBO

Hi Guys! Is there any GCam that working for Redmi Note 12 Turbo?

Or any compatible Gcam for Redmi Note 12 Turbo

use AGC8.4 by Bigkaka. And you will need a config for Mi12S ultra(yeah thats weird) to make it working

Using AGC8.4 will still FC when you use the front cam. You can fix it (make front cam stable) by changing the Lens settings of the front cam (System ID = 1). For now, avoid using the front cam. If it FCs, just open the app again and quickly use any rear facing cam or switch to video.

Hi, if you are interested I have a partial config that I hope to complete sometime soon. You should be able to use all camera modules in normal mode. The front cam has portrait mode. You also can shoot 4K 60fps without any issue using the rear main cam.
Just rename the file (jerbau-marble-partial.agc.xml) to have a .agc file extension (remove .xml at the end).
Just let me know if you have any concerns.

Hi @jerbau ,
thx a lot. The configuration works, until now I got no FCs.
But a few concerns.
The main camera looks like it is always some kind of zoomed in comparison to the original camera app even though the selection is set to 1x.
And the second one, the frontcam produces some kind of really wired images when taking a selfie and HDR or HDR+ is activated. It looks almost like some kind of "comic filter" gets put over the pictures .
Is there any chance to sort this out?

This is a more stable config. Please evaluate and check if this works out for you. Remember to rename file extension to .agc
Tested to work on AGC v8.4.

The zoom is gone and frontcam looks way better, even with activated HDR.
Some minor flaw: For me the macro lense wasn't activated. I only had the choice of backcamera and the ultrawide.

You can enable it through the app settings (lens configuration), but being honest, the macro camera is sort of pointless.

Hi guys.
Sharing another config of papaji here (version 6)
Changelog:
Fixed the Watermark
Disabled focus tracking as it becomes buggy and messes up focusing sometimes
Added awb to all lenses (not needed in most cases but you can try enabling at times stock awb is giving a yellow/green tint, it might fix it)
Experimental config (version 7)
Changelog:
Changes mostly in colour and white balance and front camera
Share your feedback. Thanks!
Remember to import these configs after renaming the filename with the extension .agc first.

One small question thou and I'm getting my Gcam from Gcam Hub.
Is it better to use the AGC_8.4.300_V9.7 or use AGC_8.4.300.18_V9.2 ?
