Am I only able to get this working if I load this XML file into the camera app, or there's a manual configuration? It's not processing HDR on my S10 snap.

The XML is my configuration. Out of the box the app doesn't really work, you have to change a few settings for it to work. The XML takes care of having to manually change the settings. You can of course continue to tweak things after loading the XML and save our own configs.

Was using portrait mode earlier and noticed shutter delay was significantly long. Very noticable when trying to take pics of kids who can't sit still. Also worth noting, I installed the update today (fp reader improvements) and it didn't break my gcam. I saw others on Reddit were having problems but they may have been using a different version/config than this one. It has been solid for me and other than missing my beloved wide angle lens it's damn near peefect...

Yes it's working but the photos are too much over-exposed. Its all white. Any way to fix this? If somebody who has knowledge can tell what settings can fix it?
Front camera is working fine though.

I mean, everything was working perfectly for me, and the exposure is ok, except for the night sight and the photobooth, and i wanted to know how can i use the night sight

Wow, what settings are you using and which apk? For me back camera pictures are all white. Are you sure on exynos?

Is anyone else super disappointed with the camera on this phone, especially the wide angle? I have an LG V40 and the shots are so much better than on this phone. Even with Gcam the the pics are garbage.

    UPDATE: I haven't really followed this thread since I don't have an S10 anymore, however, just a heads up telephoto now works with the Snapdragon S10/Note 10 series and Gcam! Gcam can be downloaded in my S20 thread here: https://xdaforums.com/t/gcam-working-with-s20-ultra-telephoto.4200277/



    Now with Wide Angle and Telephoto Camera Support!
    All credits go to Arnova8G2, CStark, Fizwiz, Xenius9, Urnyx05

    Benefits:
    Gcam offers less aggressive noise reduction and oversharpening. Under daylight things might not look too different but it's a lot better for low light, especially for finer details like carpets, hair, fabric texture. I've attached some comparison shots. The file names will indicate which camera was used for the pictures.

    Regarding 6.1 vs 6.2 vs 7.0 vs 7.2:
    6.1 could be more stable and allows you to save profiles that you can swap between (for instance if you have a setting for indoor and outdoor). However 6.2 is faster, possibly better processing algorithms. 7.0 is faster still and even better algorithms. 7.0+ also ads astrophotography option which is night sight but even better! 7.2 works on Android 10 only and should improve upon 7.0.

    GCAM 6.1.0.021 Base
    Download Arnova's Advanced 1.7 here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/
    then download the XML config attached to this post.
    Instructions for applying the XML file can be found here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
    What works:
    - Aperture switching for main camera (settings > Samsung CameraAPI2 > toggle "Switch to 2.4f aperture)
    - Motion photo (have to use google photos as gallery and only limited to 1080p resolution)
    - Night Sight
    - Portrait mode
    - Wide angle camera (hold the toggle camera button to switch between wide and regular rear cameras, press to switch between rear camera and front camera)

    GCAM 6.2.030 Base
    Download Arnova's Advanced 2.2 here: https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=31714
    Go to Settings > About > Enable Advanced Features
    Settings > Enable AUX
    Settings > HDR+ Control > Image Format > YUV_420_888
    Quality HDR+ > Super High
    Custom Libs > Eszdman v3 Beta
    What works:
    - Aperture switching for main camera (aperture icon at the bottom right)
    - Motion photo
    - Night Sight
    - Portrait mode
    - Wide angle camera (toggle button at the bottom left)

    GCAM 7.0.009 Base
    Download Xenius9's GCam_4.0.191101.0729build-7.0.009_x9_s9s_mod_0.43.apk here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12qfHQ-oq4vrHCWFkNaP6lNHMoDB31SNy
    To enable astrophotography, go to settings, developer settings and make sure nightsight.extended_tripod and nightsight.extended_iterable_burst is enabled.

    What works:
    - Aperture switching for main camera (aperture icon at the bottom right)
    - Motion photo
    - Night Sight (with Astrophotography)
    - Portrait mode

    GCAM 7.2.010 Base for Android 10
    Download Urynx05's gcam mod here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81499445&postcount=1197
    then download the XML config here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/f/2020/01/s10_snap.xml
    Instructions for applying the XML file can be found here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/

    What works:
    - Aperture switching for main camera (aperture icon at the bottom right)
    - Motion photo
    - Night Sight (Astrophotography can be enabled but max shutter is only like 2 seconds, not enough for stars)
    - Portrait mode
    - Wide Angle Camera

    More development info can be found in the original app page.

    Thanks a lot for the update. Which one do you like better 6.1 v1.6 or 6.2 v2.2 beta?

    Just updated the OP again. 6.2 is updated and no longer beta. Wide and normal cameras work great, no more crashing, and even motion photos now work! I highly recommend the latest 6.2.

    I applied the configuration files here to the Note 9 and got rid of the yellow or green tint with Night Sight.

    Gotta add.....night sight Gcam is so good on the S10+ its a glaring difference. I really hope Samsung improves the software for this and the upcoming Note 10. Took this testing night sight on my front lawn. My tree is starting to bloom and seeing the buds so colorfully with the Gcam mod versus Samsung auto lowlight/night feature there's a defining difference and portrait mode versus live focus is dramatic as well. While I love the cllor.pop feature and other options from love focus the standard bokeh is dramatic.
