hey, is there a fix for black frontcam pictures in gcam or maybe a version with portrait mode and possibility to disable hdr for frontcam?
all pics with gcam and hdr enabled in frontcam just turn black
Try an alternative port/version of the app.
My phone is off and charging at present, but I believe I'm using: -
MGC_5.2.022_1.0.apk (BSG, 2018-05-31)
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Why didn't you post in this thread, instead of starting a new one?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/themes/google-camera-mod-bsg-t3784060
this is a common error for Redmi Note 5 AI / Global / China.
it's due to our omnivision fron sensor not procesing the pic size correctly or something like that. I asked @defcomg for help and he is looking at some logs and sending me so things to try. I think we should make a thread for our device specific bug.
I agree on opening a thread for this specific bug so that someone might help I guess or it maybe highlighted.
Yeah, we are patiently waiting for hdr+ on front camera...

hello thogether, i finally found a fully working gcam.
i started a new threat for this!
have fun blitzkid
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/themes/gcam-black-frontcam-pics-t3800851
It works for me too, but only the first time. If I go to the gallery and come back or any other action and come back, it doesn't work... black photo again... Any solution?
Same problem here. It worked for a while and then stopped. Any solution? Only black photos with front camera and hdr
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.

All photos were taken indoors in relatively low lights. So considering that it's pretty cool. Just wish the video gets fixed soon.

? 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
posted this with more details about the bugs and a small comparison.
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.
Dear Xdaians
I Have Come Across Google Cam Go Port By Parrot And Greatness in Google Canera Port Hub.
Its a Downsized Gcam Alternative Although Not Much Of Customizations Or Features Are Available But It Works Fine.
I Am Attaching The Version That I Am Using. It Doesn't Record Video But Portrait And Pictures Work.
Best Of Luck
What's the point of it then?
The Point is It Works.
Whereas Other Gcam Ports Don't.
Thank You
Anyone compared GCam& stock cam to Camera FV-5 5.1.7?
I try it but that Gcam have only 10x zoom and not have too much function
P30 Pro In Certain Lighting Conditions take photos that Are Not Normal.

The apk on the first post mostly works for me on android 10 - Video seems to crash. But Camera fair and you do get a working portrait mode bokeh effect on the selfie cam, which is useful!
I looked it up and found
celsoazevedo, search dev greatness - I'm "Too new" to post links dagnamit!
GCamGo_GreatnessNS1.apk (greatness, 2020-09-08)
Seems to work video , adds a working night mode and a few minor tweaks, that all seems to work. It'll be a keeper for me unless i find a much better Gcam for the P30 Pro
Having a look through some of the other camera apks on celsoazevedo and net searches and suggestions, which seems disappointingly few for the P30 Pro and not much better for Huawei full stop
Most bug out on me after accepting permissions and won't load after, so they are pretty quick to check through, apart from the download part!
So far the only one that has done something (Apart from the cut down Greatness Gcam Go, that just works, but is lacking in features) is one
fU24 - Gcam_6.1.021_advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02c7.2
The video seems fine, but Night Sight and a few others don't show anything and the Camera whilst making a noise and seeming fine doesn't actually save an image. Lens Blur however does. I'm guessing settings here, but it is doing better than most in my search by just running!
I think i'll stick to the cut down Go for the moment, along with the built in one!

Well quite.....For standard stuff it's great. But the Gcam has some nice extra features and options. Which is the whole point of the Gcam ports!
The Go variant adds the nice Bokeh for portrait on the front camera, which i find useful.
Neither means you loose your inbuilt camera app! Certainly on my P30 Pro and also on my older HTC U11
Just install and have two or more camera icons to choose from :good:

I saw this article yesterday on a new version of the Google camera from the new Pixel 6 that works on my Note 20 Ultra (snapdragon). Link to the apk is in this article below. Gizchina.com: How to download and install Google Pixel 6 camera app on other smartphones.
https://www.gizchina.com/2021/10/22...ogle-pixel-6-camera-app-on-other-smartphones/
Haven't had time to play around with it much yet but first picture is with the gcam, 2nd with my regular Note camera app. Don't see much difference, but maybe in better lighting...
Works on exynos also, exept for the 10x and bigger zoom so telescopic camera is useless.

Thanks for sharing this. Great find!
I installed the 10/31/2021 release from BSG on my Note 20 Ultra - N986U1 (Snapdragon) on One UI 3.1 (Android 11) and it seems to work well.
Heck, it might be the most stable Google Camera Port I've used.
The front-facing camera doesn't work for pictures (thanks Samsung) but it does work for recording video.
Besides that, all the other modes I've briefly tested seem to work.
Thanks for sharing this link! Am waiting to see if anyone in the S21 (Regular) group has tried this with success... Just curious, on your Ultra model - are you able to use some of the newer features such as Motion, Face Unblur, Magic Eraser?

I believe there is a config file for samsung you need or a stting you have to change. I had the same problem when I installed it on my s21 ultra, the camera froze. Also the eraser feature was missing. I tried installing the google photos using Split APKs Installer but no luck. Would love to know if anyone using a samsung got these feature to work.
I've tried this on my Note 20 Ultra Exynos and have the same experience where the camera freezes and app closes, if anyone had any advice on how to fix or help I would really appreciate, this could be such a great camera app
This completely broke my camera for all apps.
Had to restart my phone several times to get the camera to work again.
Seems that it doesn't work for me. When I click the shoot button doesn't save anything. Shows some black pictures, which also can't be found in the gallery app.
This gcam has been working flawlessly for months on my Note 20 Ultra snapdragon. Takes sharper pictures overall than stock app, especially of my dog

Looks like better dynamic range, I have been using a previous GCAM version with great success (especially night time photography on a tripod), but I think I'll give this one a try. Thanks!

I've been using this GCAM version for awhile and it's stable and works fine on my Note 20 Ultra. Definitely takes better pictures indoors of my dog and a little better dynamic range. Nice alternative to stock camera app for some pix.

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
