Question Gcam XML files? - OnePlus 9 Pro

To make a long story short I'm coming from a Galaxy note 9. I've been a fan of the camera quality on their phones for many years. I'd like to know if there is anybody that has a XML file to load on the gcam settings to have a picture quality both when I take the photo and when I review the photo that will be similar if not super close to the Samsung camera picture qualities?

lol

Next, launch Google Camera, double tap anywhere on the dark area around the capture button. It will then prompt you to Choose config, scroll the list if you have saved a number of xml files, or else just tap on the one listed and tap Restore to invoke the settings. GCam will then restart itself.

The camera app and deleting images.

I know you can use the trash can button while previewing the image you just took but after the preview period expires is what I'm referring to.
When your in the camera app and select the photo icon (bottom right) it takes you to your photos. While you are in this view there doesn't seem to be a way to delete images. When you hit the menu button in this view you have useful options like: vcast videos (not), set as, slideshow, select player, show on map and details.
Once the image has been saved it seem the only way to delete it is by opening the gallery app separately (5 or 6 button presses away).
It seems to be an oversight in my opinion.
Okay, I just discovered the error in my ways. A quick tap of the image while in this view will give you your options that menu key or long press would not. I'm a happier camper now.

[Q] Google photo editor?

I've installed Google Photos but every time I go to edit I get limited options. I'm assuming this is an LG thing. The editor that opens from my Google Photos app in my GPe device. And the options and editing is much nicer.
Anyone notice this or have issue with the default edit options?
I have tried and tried but the only editing functions that work are the crop, rotate. Everything else is there but is non responsive!
If I go into the photo gallery and look at a picture and click the little pencil to "edit" it will bring me to the edit screen but it won't let me do anything within the editor without crashing .

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is an update. It works great.
Yes! I'm not happy about it either. How do you go back? I actually called lg and the guy I spoke with said it maybe the Android software that's caused this. I don't know becaus I deleted Google pbotos, I lost editing options under my galery. When I reinstalled Google photos the editing options came back but still limited. Any idea how to go back to the old way?
If you want to apply more edit to the photos, install Snapseed. The LG stock gallery will open up Snapseed for editing/stuffs.
Not bad I must say.

Portrait Mode with only 1 picture saved

So with portrait mode on the Pixel 2 it saves 2 images for every pic taken in portrait mode. Is there a way to stop that and only have it save the bokeh picture. I don't need the other picture taking up space.
while viewing the picture in the photos app. you'll see 2 mini thumbnails at the bottom center of the picture. one is your orig, one has the blurred background.
swipe the thumbnails to the right to view the original picture, and then press the 3 vertical dots at the top right > delete. you'll be prompted to delete the current photo or both photos. this option only deletes the picture(s) from your device and leaves it on the cloud.
if you want to delete it from the cloud and from the device then select the trash can icon on the bottom right, and it will ask you if you want to delete the current photo or both.
as for stopping it completely, i dont think that is an option, not that i have seen anyway
The third button from the right let's to save pick which photo to save or show as the main photo in the gallery.
I think OP was looking for a way to not have to manually delete every non portrait version.
As someone who takes a **** ton (100+ average) of portrait photos of dogs at my work each day, I see why OP is asking.
There's no such thing as photos taking up space on pixels... that's sort of the point
Portrait photos actually take up less space than regular ones. They seem to average about 2 MB for blurred and 2 MB for unblurred. So that's 4 MB total. Regular photos are ranging 4-7 MBs for me.
i am facing this weird issue where only the normal pic is getting saved not the one with the bokeh effect. i tried many versions of g cam but no result.. any solution so that i can save the potrait pic?
If you have Tasker or are willing to purchase it, you can do a shell command to automate this for you. This is exactly what I have done.
Every time I open my file manager app, a shell command will find the regular image and delete it.

Unable To Edit Videos

I heard the built in video editor was great, and I just want to piece together a couple files. However when I go **** l press the edit button and it takes me to the editor they're aren't any options to do anything. I can only move forward and backwards on the video itself. Anyone know what's going on here? I can edit any picture or video EXCEPT the ones I actually want to work on.
Try starting with the gallery app and browse to the album / folder that has your clips. You should have an icon at the top to create movie. Tap that, then select clips to get started.

even when i take picture sometimes it show the picture i took before then it jump to the current picture wtf?????
any fix or other great gallery like samsung that is free without ad?
I think you are describing the fact that you cannot scroll past the photos that were just taken when viewing photos from the shortcut at the bottom-right corner of the display whilst in the Google Camera app.
This restriction only occurs when you are navigating into the camera app from the lock screen. This is done for security reasons so that some random stranger/theft who stole a phone whom cannot unlock said phone cannot view all of the pictures on that device.
There are two ways to view all of your pictures:
1. Unlock your phone and then enter the Google Camera app. Then click the photos shortcut at the bottom-right corner of the display.
2. Unlock your phone and then open the Google Photos app.
