What gcam port and config works best for astro mode?
Or is there any way to enable astromode in expert raw?

For Exynos, the most working GCam is Zoran's version. He added the astro mode in 3387. Apk download, and XML config file for S20 Ultra enabling all three back cameras..

How to: Enable HDR mode

We do indeed have HDR support, but it may be disabled by default and can only run on select apps.
1. Install a custom launcher like Nova or activities shortcut creator
2. Create an activities widget or gesture shortcut
3. Go to Settings
4. Find and select ’Video Enhancer’
5. Launch it and it will reveal the hidden setting
Alternatively, use the Magisk module HiddenSettings and modify the setting: hdr_effect 1
How to test if HDR is real:
Download an hdr video from 4kmedia.org. Change to full brightness and set screen mode to Adaptive. Hide navigation bar (use the quick shortcut). Play the video in the native video player. You'll then slowly swipe up on the Recents button, but without taking your finger off.
You should notice UI and graphics appear vivid. This indicates presence of gamma being applied. When you release your finger HDR is switched off. Saturation is a hue value, while gamma is brightness (how light or dark a pixel is). The real test would be to know if they are doing real-time processing, which is how actual HDR on TV works.

Hy is it possible doing this without using magisk ? or should we root the phone

Hello! I have the Ugoos UT8 Pro, android box. HDR only activates when watching an HDR video, but when the video is off, the screen goes back to SDR. This method you speak of, can it be done on my device to force enable HDR?

[HOW TO] Google Camera: enable wide angle and zoom lens

Hi, here you have a tutorial to activate the triple lens with Google Camera:
- Open Gcam, go to advanced/Advanced-Pixel AWB and set it to IMX586
- Reboot the device into recovery mode, mount system and data and go to file manager.
- Once there, move the folder "data/app/org.codeaurora.snapcam-xxxxxxx" to "system-root/system/priv-app"
- Change the folder name to "org.codeaurora.snapcam" and change the "base.apk" name to "org.codeaurora.snapcam.apk"
- Reboot the device, open Gcam and activate the dual lens option.
The only issue is 0.6x activates the zoom and 2x activates the wide angle.
But now we can use the other lenses to take a video and ejoy the quality of this camera

:good:
Thanks for sharing man.

100x zoom

I can't seem to find this feature. My normal camera mode can go to 6x and pro mode can go to 10x. None of the tutorials I've seen work. They're all from when the phone was released so is it possible the feature has been removed?
It looks like there's supposed to be three buttons on the camera screen to choose the camera to shoot with but I don't see these options. I'd appreciate some info from users who can use this feature.

100x is only available on the S20 Ultra

1. Open back camera. (Dont select 108 mp) S20 Ultra
2. Press on the single tree like icons on screen.
3. You will see different zoom options. (Screenshoot)

That worked!
That did it! I had 108mp selected. Thanks!

This can be hidden using MAGISk module

In this mod there is a problem with the camera. when selecting .5 zoom, the camera crashes on the A52S. The issue is in the camera-feature.xml. in the:
multi camera features, the line <local name="BACK_WIDE_CAMERA_ID" value="50"/> should be changed for the A52S to: <local name="BACK_WIDE_CAMERA_ID" value="2"/>
I informed the original developer of this and he said if he would ever make a mod for the A52s he would make that change but not sure if he ever will so put this here incase anyone needs it.
And for the ssrm wraning, ShaDisNX255 has a magisk module to correct that available in the op for his S21 port thread.

General [experimental, probably useless?] Guide: how to spoof P6P (Raven) to P7P (Cheetah) and get new camera feature

First of all I'm not sure if this method is common knowledge around here or not, but I didn't see any posts about this, so I thought I'd share my findings.
I realize most people don't care about this stuff but it's a little experiment I did on my P6P, mostly for fun, and also because well, we don't know for sure if previous Pixels will get ANY feature from the 7 series.
And yes I know that at some point, we are most likely gonna get modded GCam builds that bring us some of the features from the Pixel 7 series.
Working features:
- faster Night Sight with exposure slider (choose between default/longer exposure time), works on all lenses (wide, main, tele, selfie).
- portrait mode (no apparent changes in functionality)
- video (no apparent changes)
Broken/not working properly:
- cinematic mode: it does record and Google Photos does recognize videos that were taken in this mode as "Cinematic", BUT no blur is applied whatsoever.
- switching lenses in CAMERA (normal) mode: cannot switch to ultra wide or telephoto for some reason. Switching the lenses works in video and Night sight modes.
- 10-bit HDR: Yep, this one doesn't work either. Viewfinder becomes completely black when 10 bit HDR is enabled...
Before we get started, here's what you need:
- a rooted Pixel 6 Pro (obviously )
- MagiskHideProps module, can be found here : https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf/releases
- Termux app
- printslist file (.zip containing the file is attached to this post)
- latest Google Camera .apk https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...ra-8-7-165-479933554-19-android-apk-download/ (get the SPLIT version, it can be installed with SAI - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aefyr.sai&hl=en&gl=US)
Now that we've got everything we need, how do we do this?:
1. First thing you gotta do is take the "printslist" file from the printslist.zip and simply place it at the root of your storage.
2. Next, open up Termux. Type "su" and press enter. Now type "props" and the Magiskhideprops menu will appear.
3. What we want to do now is change the device's fingerprint to the Pixel 7 Pro one. Type "1" and press enter. Now "f" to "pick a certified fingerprint".
4. A long list of phone brands will appear. We are looking to add a CUSTOM fingerprint, the one that's in the "printslist" file we moved earlier. "3" is the command for "Custom" fingerprint. Press enter, and finally, type "1" to pick Google Pixel 7 Pro. Type "y" and enter.
5. When asked whether you want to reboot for changes to take effect, choose "n" (we'll reboot in the next steps)
6. Now go back to the main menu of MagiskHideProps, using "b" (three times to be exact).
7. The option we're interested in now, is Device Simulation. Enter "3".
8. In device simulation, enter "s" and then "y" to enable basic device simulation.
9. Finally, type "1,2,3" (with commas) in order to select ro.product.brand, ro.product.name, and ro.product.device.
10. Enter "1" to enable. And now you can pick the option to reboot.

Easy peasy, all you gotta do is disable Device Simulation. You disable it the same way you enable it. Just enter "3" in the main menu of MagiskHideProps within Termux. I'm sure you can figure out the next steps.

Thank you mateNice research and

Can I use this for my pixel 6?

I think it's something to do with needing some exclusive on-device app to enable it.

Ah okay here's what's missing.
- Macro Mode
- 10 bit HDR
- EIS Zoom (see this video here
).
The pixel 7 pro engages EIS when you zoom to 15x which this does, but fails to lock in
- Zoom ML upscaler (look in Google Super Res Zoom blog, it engages at 20x zoom)
That's what I noticed, could be wrong

I cannot really test Fusion Zoom just yet as well. Blog post here https://blog.google/products/pixel/super-res-zoom-google-pixel
It does have a better zoom UI imo

You can try to use BSG's gcam, set the model to Pixel 7 Pro, and the UI interface will be completely changed to be consistent with 7Pro. 10-bit HDR sometimes "works" for me, it outputs a video with the HDR logo in Google Photos but mostly it's the other way around and I can't confirm if the HDR video captured this way is real.

The 10 bit HDR will activate, but it doesn't produce a 10 bit HDR video (based on my findings)
