How to fix laggy previews (buffer fix) in the Google Camera 8.1 in an Oppo a91? - Google Camera Mods

I recently bought an Oppo A91 and is amazing. Its camera is good but I wanted to take pics at night. I installed several Google Camera ports but the best one overall is the MCG one:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix by BSG.

However, all picture camera modes (Night Sight, Portrait, and Camera) look laggy. The previewer is not smooth at all as you can see in the video.

Furthermore, I tested several ports and each of them had the same issue. Oddly, it never happens when I'm using the other modes like video camera, panoramic, or 360. It strictly happens when I want to take a regular picture.
I have attempted multiple things. Some of them crashed the app, and I was forced to the cache to make it work again. Recently, I even read in a forum a similar case. The individual only disabled the Google Lens integration but in my case, it didn't work at all. In another case, I checked something about the "buffer fix":
. However, I didn't have anything similar and it's for an older version 6 something.
Currently, I'm running the Google Camera in ColorOS 7.2 (Android 10) without any modification.
As some final thoughts, generally speaking, the camera works well. You can take amazing pics but it looks laggy and feels odd. I just would like to know if it can be fixed. Thanks for your ideas.

I would be interested to know too....
Built wise not as good as the Mi A3, and has a P70 SOC, but has better screen
The Mediatek SOC is most likely the source of the lagg, since GCAM is built for Snapdragons

Apart from lagging preview, tap-to-focus doesn't work well too, compared to same models of Snapdragon SoC variants...
e.g. Realme GT Neo vs Realme GT

Good news.
I've experienced the same lagging problem too, but just tried Google Camera Go variant it seems the lagging is gone.
Thread 'Google Camera Go (unlocked)' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/google-camera-go-unlocked.4298355/
Preview is not lagging, focus works correctly, and the Dark Mode is as good as expected.
I'm on Realme GT Neo with Dimensity 1200 SoC.

Gcam HDR+ on the S9?

Hey guys, really considering the S9 but will likely be modding it a bit.
If anyone's got it and doesn't mind testing quickly, does Gcam HDR+ work on either SD or Exynos variants? I believe the one from this thread is the most up-to-date.
Seriously hoping we'll eventually be able to pick which aperture to use in Gcam

Visit this site and download every version of the app. I am using on my LG G5 and it's working very well. I have tested it on samsung galaxy s7 with exynos and also worked very well.

Thanks, but yeah I have tested extensively on my S7 and know how well it works. I was just wondering if it works as well on the S9, which I don't have.
Doesnt work... Just tested it on Exynos 9+
Latest version (V8) force closes. However, version 7 seems to work fine.
Thanks for testing guys. I just bought mine so will post my tests after Tuesday.
I just get a black screen when trying pretty much any settings combo, what settings are you using?

Same here. V8 and recently released 8.1 FC immediately on the S9+, but V7 works fine.

I don't use it. It was merely for testing purposes. I've always been happy with Samsung's stock camera.
I think GCam works way better with Snapdragon models.

what makes you think that?
I have heard it was working better on exynos most of the time
unless you are talking about only s9
The one I use is MGC_5.1.016_7.0+C2API_v.1.3c_AllinOne.apk, HDR+ works fine and makes a noticable difference in certain scenarios, best of both
All others with portrait mode enabled either black screen or force close.

Unfortunately i don't take that many photos, they're mostly of my dog
It works well enough for me on the Exynos s9 plus but i can;t compare to the s7
No portrait mode currently
That port doesnt apply post processing...
Not any works in Galaxy s9 like the miniuser one in s8
I tried some version from the site and that you all said on the s9+ exynos but very buggy and almost dont work...
there is some stable version+settings that work well?with portrait and all?
the samsung camera app is suck in term of colors and some "pop"

Anyone have a working GCAM for this phone?

Really surprised how little love this phone is getting given its price. I know the Mediatek chipset is an issue but I've seen devs on XDA do crazier stuff before. Given how cheaply this phone can be picked up are there any dev out there up for the challenge?
Its a mediatek processir so ( for now) no camera2api! So no gcam...
Can any Gcam for realme 1 update with Android pie & camera 2api enebled

Rog Phone 2 Vs K20 Pro Camera Comparison

Rog phone 2 overall better it seems What do you think guys? Mod edit: Link removed!
I think the asus camera software is pretty awful, but the hardware is exceptional.
Anywho, based purely on this video, the Mi 9t Pro is vastly superior
The main sensor is literally the same sensor in both phones... Use Gcam and you'll be fine.

GCam for S20 FE

Hi,
I am going to buy S20 FE Exynos version (only Exynos version is available in India).
Though I know the Samsung's stock camera works best, I absolutely in love with GCAM.
If someone knows where should we find the latest Gcam version for Exynos. It would be a great help for all of the Exynos owners.
Waiting to listen from any of you.....!!
I've only seen gcam for the snapdragon. None for Exynos

Here is a link that has many gcam variations. I have tried several, but none of them seem to support the telephoto correctly. In the ones that provide options for aux cameras, the tele button actually loads to the wide angle camera instead of zoom.

I've had the best success with Urnyx and Arnova with the former being the better. Some of the other ones that I've tried force close.

The Urnyx05 7.2 GCam is the only stable one for me.
EDIT: on S20 FE 5G with SD865. Only working sensor is the main, but it's stable.
Installed "GCam 7.4 for Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Exynos)
GCam 7.4 by Zoran –"
Works good on exynos non 5g version. Night mode is way better and faster on gcam!
Try zgcam

Nope, I just downloaded and 2x button (zoom) is mapped to use ultrawide lens also.

I just found out how to enable the other lenses and tested them. Enabling the aux lenses WILL crash the app and you have to Clear Data to get it back. Otherwise, normal lens, portrait, night sight, astro, front camera, video, optical video stabilization, all work and is stable.

Make sure to use the 6.1 version instead of the 7.1 version. It works much better and has better photo quality. Doesn't support ultrawide/telephoto but good for daylight/lowlight photos and especially good for portraits. Wouldn't recommend video recording or anything else. For night-mode you can just use the stock camera which will do a decent job.
I just tested and seems like ultra wide, main, and selfie all work including in RAW (although ultra wide is mapped to 2x). Tele crashes, which is unfortunate since that's the one I want

Which version?

Urnyx's 7.3 v2.2.
For some reason it saves the ultra-wide raw but Lightroom fails to import. Front camera is all good though.
Has anyone gotten Astrophotography to actually work?
S20 FE Snapdragon using Urnyx05 version 2.4 (tried a few other versions also). Night Sight works, but Astro never kicks in, with phone completely still in the dark. I see it says some devices will not show the Astro tag, but I never get a long exposure as expected.
Also I do not have the settings under 'advanced' that seem to be needed to enable it (Astro) have tried a few diff .xml files but none seem to change anything.
Curious to know what .xml or .apk anyone is using that actually has Astrophotography working.
Thanks.
Any updates? How usable is the GCam port on the S20 FE? Also do selfie photos even work? I read that Samsung "blocked" GCam port apps from taking photos with the front-facing camera.

front camera not working.
There is none. Not even for the snapdragon version (which is the better edition imo and better supported by gcam) so the alternative edition (exynos) is out of luck as well.
For some reason this phone does not seem to be compatible with gcam and no one is working on it. Of course people are posting config files and claiming some versions work, but they don't.
It is not a working version if the main lens, or any lens is not usable, or if the viewfinder freezes after 2 seconds or if HDR doesn't work.
Of course it would work without HDR or image enhancing, but that would really ruin the point. The point of gcam Is that it's image optimization let's it make better photos than stock camera. If you disable image optimization because you cannot give it sensor hardware access then it is just a regular camera app, called gcam, nothing more.
