Tried installing few mod ones for S22 Ultra but kept on crashing.
If anyone have a gcam working for S22 or s22+ Snapdragon, please share!
I came here looking for the same thing, ha! I had Google Camera (Gcam) working perfectly on my S21 and would often switch over to use that to take Portraits etc.
If anyone is able to point out a version that works would be so helpful. Cheers!
I know right, all of the ones that are tried either keeps crashing when taking photos
See here for a build working very well with S22U SD:
Gcam
Is there a working Gcam for the Ultra? Is it even needed for the Ultra with its Samsung capabilities?

So far the closest I've gotten is BSG 8.1 but it still isn't great, ids 0,1,2,52 and I had to force the hardware levels from Level 3 to Full or Level 3 + for the main and front cam. HDR+ crashes main and front but with the level change it at least works without HDR+. Tele and UW seem to work fine though. Maybe someone else can play around with it to see why HDR+ crashes.

Do you have the Base S22 Snapdragon or Ultra?
Can I please ask which config xml did you use for BSG 8.1?
Also there are about 6 apks for GSB 8.1 - which one did you download? - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl75/
This is as far as I've gotten. I was using MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix.
If you can get further and get HDR+ to work, wonderful. If not, it is what it is.

Hi, there are 2 apks for Samsung with the same file name you provided, one has "scan3d" and other has "ruler" - do you know which one out of those two?

I just tried the one ending with... _ruler.apk work with the above attached xml. But as mentioned, turning on HDR will cause the app to crash.
I installed the _ruler. APK
Was trying to take a video but when it zoom, the telephoto zoom lens don't seem to work- I wonder if it's to do with mine is S22 base and Ultra maybe has different cameras?
When trying UW or portrait or night sight etc it seems like taking the picture but force closes it with notification "Photo saving finished" but there are no photos in gallery..
So far only able to take regular photos with the primary lens even though all 3 lens options are showing up in the camera app
Hi folks!
This may have already been mentioned elsewhere, but this one works so far for my S22 Ultra Snapdragon:
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk

Here's my working config for all 3 rear lenses using LMC8.4R8.

Create an LMC8.4 folder in root storage and copy the xml there. After installing the Samsung specific port from the link above, open and accept permissions and immediately toggle to video mode and load the config. Good to go.

Hi, may I ask where is the "load config" function? I can only see the following:
1. Remove config name
2. Save config
3. Import ready-made config
If I choose (3) the app will just restart itself. There is no config selection.

After you open the app and switch over to video mode, double tap the space between the record and gallery buttons and it will pop up the config loader. As long as you've already copied the xml to the new LMC8.4 folder in root storage before opening the app, it'll appear there.

Currently I am using the camera app provided by RR N but I am looking for an app that has some quick toggle options to choose between;
1. Normal photos
2. Normal video (configurable resolution somewhere in the options)
3. 720p 120fps video
So the less hassle the better when changing between these options. 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 are ofc standard part of every app but to quickly change from 2 to 3 or from 3 to 2 without going thru any settings would be great. while keeping the image quality as good as possible. I've now gone thru couple of apps without any luck; Snapit, Snapdragon camera, footej etc...
So, any recommendations?

I'm using the Lenovo Camera app after testing and examining the results of about 5 or 6 of the most popular options. Seems to give the least noise in low light and the HDR mode is not too fake or slow. Easy to use.
Can be downloaded from apkmirror:

What are the mods?
You have to edit build.prop. Before you change the file, save it - just in case! It is located in the system directory. You need to be rooted and need an app like ES File Explorer.
Change:
ro.build.flavor=athene_retasia_ds-user
ro.build.product=athene_uds
ro.product.device=athene_uds
Save the changes and restart the phone.
Start the camera, tap in the bottom right corner the camera icon and voilà.

If you try to install Arnova's version, it will fail due to conflicts with the original GCam. This is just a cloned app that can be installed on Pixel/Pixel XL.
All credit goes to @Arnova8G2. All bugs/functionality from that app are also present here.

Hi, I'm curious what is different from Official Google Camera from Playstore, the Pixel 3 Camera APK, and Arnova's version you linked, and these?

Arnova's version has some of the pixel 3 functionality enabled for other phones (like portrait mode and focal length changing after taking a portrait mode photo). If you install the non moded version, you don't get portrait mode or h256 encoding for videos (and more).
None of the v6 based moded gcam apps on the site you link work on Pixel due to their manifest, which is exactly the same as the original app (preinstalled on pixels), forces an update of the original app, update which fails as it recognizes that the moded version is not really a qualified update for the original one
I installed it on Pixel.. CameraNX captures much more beautiful photos.
More saturated and brighter
Working great . Thanks for compiling it.
Will you update whenever Arnova updates or wait for stable builds only?
Does it has top shot, night sight, super res zoom, motion auto focus, photobooth, etc all the features in pixel 3??
Will it ever get it?

There is no trick involved.. may be your download is corrupt.
pls make a new app with the beta1 apk. but name it camera .
how is it possible to modify the apk so that you can install it on an pixel.
Dont Start. Not for this device and wants to Install App cloner.

Apk from apk mirror installs perfectly but This Arnova mod is not. App cloner seems to solve this problem.
Newer version available. Nothing exciting yet. It's more stable than the previous version. Night mode and photobooth options are there but not really doing anything. Also I am unable to get topshot to work so if anyone has been able to kindly share.
Note: Use App Cloner from Playstore to install
Can't share the link since I am new here. Just Google 'Arnova GCam' and download GoogleCamera_6.1.009.215420794-beta-1.apk
Silly question, but is it possible to download the newest Arnova app without updating the stock cam and without app cloners?

I updated my stock camera with the 6.1 APK taken from the Pixel 3 that can be found on APK Mirror and it replaced the one that came with the system.
Then I downloaded the one from the Google Drive link on the first post and also works and installs as CameraP, but has a little bit of an issue with WB.
Do the new releases try to overwrite the stock Camera?

Yes.
So you have to install using AppCloner. I can't share links or otherwise I would have shared the apk with you guys.
The newer version is much more stable. Seems almost perfect except for the zoom. You have to tap the plus button to zoom, if you pinch zoom it will crash. Also, HDR+Enhanced is giving some next level low light shots. Portrait mode seems better than Camera NX. No Top shot, night sight, Photobooth for now.

I never used AppCloner. Does it require root?
Edit: I've checked over the Play store and there are a lot of app cloning Aps. Which one do you recommend?
Can you provide either a play store link or the exact name of the app and Dev so we can try this new GCam port.
Thanks!
EDIT 2: Never mind the link. I got it from APK Mirror. I installed the camera but the viewfinder was really laggy and the phone started getting really hot. So I just uninstalled both, the Camera and AppCloner.
Did something similar happen to you?
I don't like the idea of installing app cloner. Hopefully there will be a way to install it alongside stock app

Not really. Pixel does get hot occasionally though. And both cameras you mentioned are working pretty well on my side. I am loving the Arnova's version and can't wait for the next release.

The focus is definitely much faster on point & shoot than the one I linked (total amateur here,my photo needs are rudimentary at the most, LOL)
Unless I'm missing something, seems you have to exit the camera & go to your file app of choice to view the most recent pic. Not sure if this is a known issue, or, user error on my part......

Weird how 4K 60fps only works on the ultrawide camera and not the main camera.
Is there any gcam mod that allows to record 8k and 4k/120fps? BTW I tried many mods and I did not find any with all functionalities available: all cameras, motion photos, night sight etc. If motion photos available, only single camera can be used, etc.
I also don't understand why they decided to remove all languages other than English from all mods. Original Gcam supports many languages.

Not at the moment, as far as I know but our device's release happend less than a month ago so the development is still in early stages. BSG is quite fast at updates so hopefully it'll eventually happen.

What is much more simple? Additional languages strings are original from Google, no need to touch them. Of course, additional custom settings will appear in English only, because they won't be translated.
Additional effort required to remove all translations. So it's opposite to what you are saying

That's the package signature. On some phones, using the Snapcam one allows access to the auxiliary cameras (ultrawide, telephoto).

I think so, yes. I read Snapcam is recommended for phones from BBK-owned smartphone brands. However keep in mind a brand could "block" the access to auxiliary cameras at any moment. For example Samsung blocked access to the selfie camera, so in GCam ports, the selfie camera just does not work on Samsungs... Not sure if they have fixed it, but I know it's been a problem for Samsung users.

You can download a XML file, and import it to the GCam app. It will import settings from the file, so if you find a XML file for the 9 Pro BSG Gcam port, just download it and import it via the app. Also you can create XML files yourself, and share them if you want as well.

Some manufacturers have even coded things to prevent third-party cameras from using the phone's full camera resolution capabilities. On OnePlus devices they could be locked to 12 MP, even the main camera.

Nothing, really. They just have different signatures. If you find that certain additional modules (Magisk flashables that add or enhance a device's camera functions) don't work, try the other. Some devices have a camera version signed specifically for them (ie, Samsung phones) because of this. It just happens that the snapcam signature seems to work best on our device.
I'm having some nasty issues with a strong lilac purple pink RAW files from Gcam recently. It makes it unusable. It worked fine before but suddenly this problem started happening, perhaps it came after a system update. :/

(always use this version: org.codeaurora.snapcam)
Compared to the stock camera, the shutter is faster and the colours are somewhat more vibrant. Haven't had a chance to compare night modes yet.
If you have an XML setup to recommend, please do share.

I tried this and the colors were way to bright and inaccurate

We'll, it's not a secret that Google's image processing slightly saturates the colours and beautifies photos. Not a bad thing imho.
Anyhow, BSG keeps releasing new builds, the latest one dated today:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix

Is there a recommended source for gcam 8.4 that is stable and safe to use? We have both A52 5g and a52s 5g-s.
Hi,
on my A52s 5G (SM-A528B) most recent version of gcam that works is 8.1, anything higher force closes immediately.
I got the best results with this mod: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/

Thank you! Can you do raw/dng bracketing with this version? (-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 EV series)

Yeah you can configure really a lot of stuff, though I didn't test the raw mode.
But I created a config with some moderate changes to image quality and general configuration for the different lenses of the device since the provided ones didn't work properly for me.
Could share, if you like.

Sure, many thx! I'll try to dig in the raw story, because this sensor definitely has more potential then the 8bit jpegs.
Here it is!
A few notes: The most relevant options I changed are in Settings -> Modules.
For the lenses to properly work I had to set the option "Session of photo modes" for each lens to 61448 OR 61444 (both work).
You can tune every lens individually there, which is a pretty nice option to have. Most changes are really subtle. I spent a lot of time with the night mode and the HDR/Image Processing settings. Its really just a base config on which you can build up.
Easiest way imho is to only change one option at a time and take test photos. You really can get lost in there but I rather enjoyed it!
Enjoy!

Thank you!
You're very welcome, I'm happy to be useful.
I have a problem with the latest version (now) the viewfinder just freezes after few seconds of opening the camera.
Tried MGC_8.4.500_A10_V6 and MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
And I'm on the latest one ui 4.1

You're footer mentions Xiaomi Mi 9, but since you are asking here I am assuming you are using an A52s?
MGC 8.4 is not so interesting because it lacks many image quality features that the 8.1 series has. So MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix is the way to go with MGC.
For the A52s viewfinder freezing is a known issue that you have to work around. And in later 8.1 series they slightly changed the way it is fixed, which means older config files don't apply the fix correctly.
I think the config file shared in this thread earlier was very similar to the common luke config file, so I attached a version of the luke config file that also fixed the freeze on the GV1zfix version. You can load it by double tapping next to the shutterbutton (or from Settings|Configs|Load in the app).
(and there is endlessly more discussion about gcam on A52s in this thread).
Thread closed. Please continue your discussion here.
