Question A working GCam for Motorola Edge 20 Pro?

[Milica84]

When i try to import your XML It Just says configs not found. Where the cam app search for It?

Hi, the folder for configs for Hasli cam is "LMC8.2" by default. You may need to save a config first for the app to create the folder.

Hello, i'm worry about camera quality. Seems so hard to get a good shot. When you tap a person to focus, camera do focus wherever it wants. Low light conditions are truly hard for this device...

camera on Edge 20 pro is... just piece of s***t... I have a hope to next update. Where are many threads on Lenovo official about it.. So - we still have a hope!

Same thought here.
Came from a note 10+ (exynos variant) and besides the screen (flat and high refresh rate), it's been so frustating.
Moto Edge 20 pro camera compared to Samsung's flagship camera are just a bad joke!

yep... I`ll return to my old LG g8, if Lenovo will not fix camera issues on next update...

After much testing and tweeking, including the gcam versions given here, I have to say that my absolute best gcam version is Hasli.

Currently working with version Helena R6, link for download is here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-hasli/.

My very much tweaked config, latest version is shared here.
Every cam and many options are tweaked, including white balance, noise reduction, detail preservation etc.
I am still not 100% satisfied with white balance in all circumstances, but overall best so far.
White dots in ultrawide cam are somewhat corrected with luma noise reduction - much better but not gone.

The only problem I have with this version is with selfi cam - there is a color bleed between surfaces, see the example attached. But this is the problem I have with every gcam version 8 I have tried (version 7.3 does not have this issue). I cannot figure out how to fix it.

I hope someone else will test this cam and config
There are still many options I did not try and there is no good guide for this version, and no community to discuss problems and tweaks (the Telegram group I have has locked comments).

It is true - Motorola did not do the best job with this phone's camera and gcam cannot fix everything but I think this makes it usable.

Happy Holidays!

Hi,

For fixing color bleeding between surfaces you can try below settings

Go to Settings-> Image processing -> Front camera -> Noise reduction model -> Select noise model as MotoG8power_ov16e10-16

Cheers

This worked! Thank you. The picture is a bit less sharp but no color bleed.

Hi,
Cam someone help me with setting up the config file on the LMC 8.2 app?

 

[mobispy]

Copy config to LMC8.2 folder and double tab near capture button to select config and use it.

Cheers

Hey. am I the only one that experiences Helena R6 app crashing during "double twist" gesture (when device is locked and sometimes when it's already unlocked)?

Tried it - yep, it seems to crash with this gesture, even the R7 version.

I'm now using Wichaya 1.5 snapcam, 4k60 works without crashing

Wichaya 1.5 when changing to Portrait mode displays only black screen. Do you experience it too?

Ok, so unfortunately I deleted Gcam version that worked well on my phone, probably it was Nikita 1. 4. Im nearly 100% sure it was OP9Pro config, but now when i try to get it work it crashes. Cannot use Gcam anymore.
Can you guys just point me one version of Gcam working On Your phone, with config that enables using both telephoto and wide Lens?

Thank you in advance for Your help

@Milica84 , i used LMC8.2 with pro , sharpness is fine for me and colour is balanced, thanks for suggesting, if you have any updates on this please do tell

however it's images are bit dark , like the output image is darker than what i see in view finder, is there any way that i can fix this , i want to make it a bit saturated and brighter

thanks in advance

Hi, I did not notice that the image is darker than the view finder... Do you mean only in the Pro mode or in other modes as well?
If it is all the time, you can try to reduce Exposure from -3 default to -2 or -1 (for the main lens, it in settings/Image processing/Main camera/Exposure main lens) and see how that goes...

 

[cheemsyogi]

darker image issue was on all modes

i tried it but it is not resolving the issue , however the "darker image" issue is mainly in front camera, rear camera gives decent results , maybe the front camera is worst

for now i downloaded the R9 version of LMC and trying to tweak thing on my own , the front camera images are better than R6, hope this will give appropriate results,

thanks for the help

Sure, let us know how it worked.

I am still on version R7 - tried R8 and could not obtain exactly the same results using my custom config (picture was worse with R8 even though the settings were identical), so I reverted back to R7.

Can you please share the link for R9 version? I thought R8 was final, at least that's what the Telegram LMC group said...
