Finest Google Camera - Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion

After messing around with so many Gcams and trying different configs and settings,
I have finally found one that is simple and perfect. Pretty much every feature is working and it takes lovely photos.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_7.4.104_Parrot043-v3.apk
This doesn't have as many settings and toggles as,say tigercam, but it does an excellent job at taking photos and is the gcam I was looking for all along.

Development and Hacking needs sub sections!

Hi Mods,
Am I the only one who find "Development and Hacking" hard to browse?
Is it perhaps possible to create sub sections in this thread? Like all those
WM 6.5 and later Wm 7.x topics? Only of interest if you use those OSes.
Perhaps also sections for Today Plugins by type: manilla etc etc.
Just my two cents.
Cheers
I would make subforums for: Games, Apps, UIs etc. Most of the apps for 6.1 are compatible with 6.5 and vice versa, so imo there's no need for making such sections

agreed, especially skins...they sometimes crowd the first page and hide the interesting stuff back a dozen pages.
but it would also be benificial if you could toggle on or off certain topics at the top of the board
This was mentioned on the blackstone forum - I commented there that it would be good to see sub-categories for resolutions so questions specific to WVGA (for example) would more likely be found by another WVGA user and hopefully answered (titanium apps are a good example of this).
There is a lot of us on here these days with a lot of different models which is what makes this community so great but some more granularity would surely assist us in looking for help and where possible, help others.
I voted yes but "no" and "fine as it is" are the same answer are they not????
Yep you are very right My fault. Did it a bit too quick. But cannot change it anymore.
Yeah I agree with the Games/Skins/Apps/Drivers.../Ideas/ etc.. Its hard to find what you need when the good stuff can be pushed back 4 or 5+ pages by skins/themes or stuff you already have.

I agree...
the best way would be..
1.WVGA
2.VGA
3.QVGA
4. all resolutions..
5. and so on....
i think games and apps and wat not might get muddled...
resolutions is the way to go
Thread Moved to : About xda-developers.com Forum
please yes. that section is an absolute mess. organizing by resolution or better yet, type of software would be fantastic.
"No" and "Fine as it is" is the same answer
And I also say "no" , because it's a development Forum - and it's a need to think outside the box. If we would have sections for Apps, Games or for Systems like 6.5 or Resolutions - some people never would look into and would know, which new Technologies or Ideas are available.
And for Developers (they are used to a search function) there are ideas at all the most important issue.
And have a look on other sides, where you see the "high gloss brochures" - which shows the free apps for WinMo with categories - in manner of AppStore from Apple - at the end you will find a link to xda-devs, to download or know more about the Apps
It's logical, that this poll will have as result, that there should be sub-categories for xda-devs - it's good for downloaders.
But for developers: They would oversee new ideas on other plattforms, the would get a tunnel vision on their own system.
And not so much ideas... would result in fewer Apps & Dwnloads. And so the people would have a nice overview (perhaps), but not so much cool ideas at all.
There are more than enough sides, which categorizes the Developers Apps here. But please leave us our "development environment" here - to see, with which people we could work together, to provide new Apps& Ideas... for everybody of us. What's up, if we would only develop for one resolution? And then we have to switch everything if we make multi-res? Senseless additional work for Developers... and especially too much work for the Mods.
It's better to work with Prefixes like "[App]" that makes a better overview. And Recommendations in the Sections of each device here.
And also to have as Downloader a possibility to think outside the box.

I have to disagree with you on at least one point.
This is from our home page...
But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
The poll is certainly backing this up.
Now 281 reads but only 55 votes. Seems that a lot of visitors don't care.
@mods, can you please make it a sticky in Development and Hacking until the end of the poll?
Cheers

Adding tags to photos

Hey guys, I have several hundred photos on my phone and organizing them is quite painful. I was wondering if anyone knows of a method to tag photos on my phone. not necessarily face tags, but maybe like a description or a date. I've seen the feature of adding tags to pictures on the DroidX as show in the link below. I would like to do something along these lines. Maybe an app or any other method would be cool

[XML] Configs for various GCam mods

Configs for various Google Camera mods for Mi 9/9T/9TPro
Main focus is to get the photo as sharp as possible while keeping noise levels low.
By MOD EDIT: Link Removed
This is not my work. Am just sharing from a Telegram channel MOD EDIT: Link Removed
I recommend that you try BurialSLR b8XF with the modded app provided in the channel.
These are two photos taken with ultrawide camera. One with normal hdr++ and the other with xhdr provided by the app and BurialSLR b8XF xml.
GCam ultrawide has horrible distortion near the edges, any solution to that?

Question [CLOSED] Current state of Gcam for the Poco F3

I've had the pocophone f1 for a few years and it had amazing gcam compatibility, I've tried a few smartphones since then and I would like to know how's gcam for the poco f3?
Is it stable? Does it drastically improve camera performance? Can we use face retouching on it?
Yes it's stable. Picture quality is not drastically better but Gcam photos are more vibrant and the 'painting' effect of the stock camera is reduced in Gcam. The resolution is limited to 12 megapixels.
If stock camera is 6/10 the Gcam takes it to 7/10. Nothing too drastic.
Don't know about face retouching.
If you're looking for a good camera phone, Poco F3 is not one of them.
