I'm using pixel 3a on front, dunno if I'm gonna do anything about it in next update, as anything except main sensor isn't my priority
someone mentioned that nexus6p libs for frontcam is best. can you add this? selfies are very noisy on redmi k20 pro or mi 9t pro.
Consider this is not my first project on forums. At some point developing audio mods with my team I've been bombarded in pm throughtout all my accounts with ridiculous questions etc. It's frustrating, as most of the things people need to know are normally written in op & linked to other posts. I'd rather work on the stuff than keep chatting with peeps, sry)
Good to see you still active UltraM8! Please don't give up on this project 
Hi UltraM8, do we have to select the noise modeler somewhere in the settings, or is it automatically selected based on detected sensor ?
Also, if not using xml file from you (day and night), lib patcher is not activated when starting clean.
At that stage, what is your mod doing ? Already working its magic with the imx586, or do we need to select some stuff before that happens ?
Thanks for letting us know how things work in the background, it would be appreciated
And thanks for your hard work !
Two questions from a non-rooted Mi 9T Pro user:
1. Selfies are extremely noisy/grainy. Is there a setting we can change to fix it?
2. Is there any way to turn off Vibration when switching modes(switching to Portrait, Night Sight etc)?
Thanks.

Your work is amazing and well appreciate, thanks for your efforts
Those that complain about the front camera: what about this suggestion? Does that help?
It means you don't force a false white balance into your pics by not selecting the wrong sensor awb, and you do that by not selecting any, hence the choice of disabled if your sensor isn't in the list. You'll get generic white balance strait from your sensor. If gcam plays well with your sensor all is good, else you're out of luck. Or you could try the presets anyway and like one of them if it suits your taste. No rules.

Dev. I apologize if you misunderstood my comment. My intention was not to offend him.I am sure that you are an excellent developer and that you work very hard for this project.
Only when reading the entire topic of this forum I saw no comments from you and I found it strange since the project is interesting.
Flight to apologize and I look forward to your next updates. Regards dev.
Hi
I downloaded the mod but it was impossible to use on my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE
As soon as I open the camera, it lagging and frezzing away, making it impossible to use, I don't know if this is due to android pie or is it a problem with my device or another factor

I'm not letting anyone reuse of Ulib, or using UltraCVM as base for your gcam mod!19FAQ
Q This mod (or some of it's features) doesn't work on XYZ device/rom
A I can't support all devices. My main goal is to support at least as many flagships & good midranges 2019+ as possible. I can't guarantee also that mod will work well on custom non OSS Vendor roms.
Q Whats with noise?
A The goal of the mod is to give best results in good lighting conditions for the main lens. You can't have both detail & denoise, so denoisers are always lowered on my versions. On the other hand with some patches I'm doing to the lib - you get plenty of room to experiment with denoisers in libpatcher. Just spend some time with it.
Q Whats with focus tracking?
A Focus tracking is disabled in favour of manual tracker that is much more precise.
Q Whats with selfie camera?
A Unfortunately everything you put in main lens patcher - also sets for front camera as well. There is no way as of now to change this logic, the only solutions is make yourself a front xml and load it each time for selfie.
Q Why pics are so heavy?
A As being said - ultracvm is all about experiments towards having incredible shots from main lens. In order to make all patches to work as I plan them - I had to fully decompress result as much as possible on every step gcam doing with it's algos.
Q Can you add XYZ feature?
A Can't help with that. I'm keeping pretty much every feature base mod has, the amounts of own features are kept in minimal yet efficient range.
Q Can mod be named something else either than SnapCamera?
A Snapcamera packagename helps to make AUX working for most devices, we can't sacrifice that.
Q Whats with XYZ mode?
A My main priority is main HDR/e+ modes & Night Sight, the rest, beyond this are least things (including portrait, aux, this or mode) I'm considering to care much of. I will debug as much as possible but if sacrifices have to be done - I'm sorry.
Q Whats with aggressive "not reuse" policy?
A I always contact and keep in touch with modders with gcams I use as base. Always post proper credits to all the people helped achieving particular build. I enocourage other devs do that as well and if original dev doesn't want you to hype over time he put into his work - it's the way it better has to be the way they want it to.11UltraCAM receiving biggest update so far!
I wanna start with what 2021 is for me - it's a big year, an anniversary year - I’m 5 years into modding. Starting in late 2015 - early 2016 with Ainur Audio, I’m now here in 2021 with a camera mod project. I’m grateful to every person that’s been with me throughout all this time - all friends, users, testers and all people that supported mods and spread words about them.Thank all of you. Now we’re heading towards a bigger date of decade into modding
I want to thank every person from the official gcam 8 modding community - Zoran, BSG, Eszdman, Urnyx05, Cstark, AbhiShake, Wyroczen, Wichaya, JohnGalt, Burial, Marco and especially - Arnova and Savitar. Gcam 8 is possible thanks to your efforts, guys, united against cancerous kanger communities you provide users with clean and trustful mods that push boundaries and open new possibilities. I’m proud to be part of the big team.
People might question - how did we jump on 8 version this quick, since last build was 5.1 - in short, v6 & v7 were never released due to two main issues: severe quality downgrade for all 7.3+ gcams and issues in the modding community due to kangers.
Now. I know it's been a while since the last UltraCVM release, but we finally got there - Ultra v8 based on the most recent Arnova mod is finally here! Based on latest Arnova 8.1.101 mod it uses best possible base to provide me with incredible flexibility to keep up with experiments with quality.
Finally. What’s with UltraCVM v8 ? Here is the list:
- Custom config based on pixel5 & 6
- supported by: k20,k20pro,pocox3,pocof2pro,pocox2,zenfone6&7,oneplus7/t/pro/8/8pro,oppofindx2pro,opporeno10xzoom
- Fully optimized for both average & sum binning
- Turned on some unreleased pixel6 features
- Forced high quality processing for denoise, awb & edge detection
- Forced high precision shaders
- Fully uncompressed processing for dng & jpeg
- Extended processing buffers (might be unnecessary, experimental)
- Attempted to reverse proprietary pixel keys to fallback to qualcomm ones (experimental)
- Increased number of frames per payload stack up to 50 (used in high quality number of frames with dropdown buttons)
- Added qc bracketing to support shasta algorithm
- Added several custom noise models (thx savitar, sixarmedpriest & mevlut)
- Added OEM Noise Model switch to RamPatcher for those who dont have custom noise models in "Noise Model Config" section
- Fully custom ULIB:
- Removed pixel models noise tuning
- Uncompressed dng processing
- Decreased downscale during calculations
- Removed embedded pixel DCP for DNG (thx Savitar)
- Patched to support bigger bayers for normal & sabre upscale processing
- Redid sabre shader
- Attempt to null underexposure mechanism
P.S
I know many of you were waiting for the update, but not all devices are in the list of supported devices for gcam 8. Thats frustrating indeed. Maybe me or arnova will add some for next updates. In case we don't - I encourage you to try Urnyx, AbhiShake (Onfire mod), or Wichaya - they are great modders that officially do gcam8, most likely your device would work there.7XML configs
Since v4 xml can't be fully cross-used between devices due to HAL stream modes settings! If you experience black viewfinder - that is the reason!
V4 xmls you can find on Celso
48MP mode on xiaomi mi9, k20 pro & mi9t pro, mi9t & k20
If you don't see your device in the list above - sadly THERE IS NO 48MP FOR YOU!
To be able to shoot in 48mp res on the devices from the list - you need magisk modules with patched libs by @eszdman
Libraries highly depend on MIUI version, which might be an issue with miui beta roms
Make sure to pick proper module per device!
I'm not providing any technical support to these, as I'm not the original creator!
Zenfone6 & Rog2 doesn't require any patched libs for 48mp to work properly
