@tmihai20 yeah, I just saw there's a minsdk set to 31 which is indeed 12+
Didn't think of 8.7 itself's compatibility stuff because I've already tried 8.7 from some other modders on my device.
Anyways, thanks for pointing that out! :)

Aux mode doesn't work with Poco F3. It FCs when enabled. Other than that the Picture Quality is astronomically good!

Hope a config for Redmi K30 Pro Zoom and Poco F3 will be released for this version as this is the best Gcam so far in terms of image quality!

Arn Sabre Enhanced does improve the image quality tremendously!

Thanks!

Hi, this version is a solid 10/10. Especially for those who decided to downgrade to oreo, I was hoping that there is another build that based on

Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800.apk?​

(I am looking for any build with package name other than org.codeaurora.snapcam)​

Thanks

  • AUX buttons work very well (lack of 2x "tele" removal).
  • Improvement of custom camera mod.
  • Improved videos now fps is better ( check with MediaInfo.apk ).

This version seems to be very stable, logcat shortcut is still enabled on this version for feedback, will be removed in next version.

For this version, a cache cleaning must be done.

App crashes when taking picture with ultrawide sensor and pic doesn't save to gallery on my realme gt master edition running PixelOS (aosp based) (Android 13). I'm using "Gcam-8.7.250.build-8.0.apk".
To reproduce, open the app, go to 0.6X mode using the back ultrawide, and take a picture.
Here's the crash log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-4iMYZuANV9AsZ-YItR_rDseL21np7B6/view?usp=drivesdk

Edit :i just discovered that when disable hdr+ taking picture with ultrawide doesn't make app crash , so the problem seem with using hdr+ on ultrawide sensor

Seems broken on my OnePlus 9 Pro in the new stable, only captures black images.

Get pictures working and this new camera looks really promising! 😛

Edit: Correction, it only shows all black when it's a low light situation. Previous stable GCams don't have this issue however, and Night Sight should obviously work, which it also doesn't.

Hi @osm0sis , I added a code which normally should increase time on astro, but also seems to be used photo with hdrplus (maybe Google is preparing removal of night tab), in dev "camera.cuttle.custom_astro_timout_ms" by default it is " 32000.0" by google

@Arnova8G2 it now works well after forcing sabre flag , last issue now is that it doesn't detect macro lens , there are 4 steps in app
0.6x ultrawide sensor
1x wide sensor
2x crop in wide sensor (because there are no telephoto sensor in device)
4.3x doesn't do anything it just uses wide 1x sensor (this should be using macro sensor or be disabled entirely)

none of the versions (including the latest stable version) work on Google pixel 5. The app crashes just after the start. Any plans to fix this or Pixels are not the phones the mod is supposed to work with?

    Hi, what does this mean? I have Asus ZenFone 8 and I would like to have some new GCam. Thank you.
    For moment it's a test, I'm waiting for fix on OnePlus and some Xiaomi supporting it
    2
    Okay, so I found out some more:
    - the .7 button sometimes gives me a black screen instead, but messing with zoom during this black screen pops that camera to life. The lens used in that case is the bottom of the three lenses (the ultrawide).
    - When I try to go back to 1x zoom, the weird view with the focus issue is actually the macro lens (second from the bottom on my phone) being used instead of it going back to the main lens the app started up with.
    The only way to go back to the main lens is to force close and restart the app, as far as I can tell.
    - When the lens used is the ultrawide or macro lens, 4k60 mode is selectable and it can preview and shoot video without crashing. If I don't trigger the zoom selection issue and try filming with 4k60 on the main lens, it crashes.

    I've generated two logs:
    The first one (_0) is the one where I tested the zoom selection buttons to see what they actually do and triggering the black screen, scrolling zoom around and shooting some video at 4k60 setting without crashing.
    The second log (_1) is of me starting fresh again and immediately trying to trigger 4k60 video on the main lens, which crashed the app.


    Bad detection of AUX, I would correct them for next one.

    On ID 3 use this
    or back_depth for name

    Screenshot_2023-05-19-22-27-46-616_com.google.android.GoogleCamera.jpg



    problem of zoom and black screen, used in dev ( camera.p20_lens_setup )
    1
    I've narrowed down the video problem some more:
    - Selecting the ultrawide (.7) camera and then going to video works, though 4k mode gives me a black view on that lens (unsupported resolution/fps maybe?) it doesn't crash there
    - Selecting the video mode while the 1x lens is selected crashes the GCam app.

    I've made a logcat of me starting up the app and while still having the default 1x lens selected, going straight to video mode triggering a crash:

    Google Camera Port
    by @Arnova8G2

    This is a support thread for apks created by Arnova8G2. Here you'll find basic instructions on how to use this port and how to properly report bugs.

    Compatibility:
    - The camera2 api needs to be enabled;
    - Most versions only work on Snapdragon SoCs, but some work on Kirin and Exynos processors;
    - 64 bit ROMs are a requirement;
    - Doesn't work on phones without RAW support (eg: some Sony devices);
    - Newer versions may work only on new Android versions. Old versions might be better for old Android versions;

    Known issues:
    - FAQs and troubleshooting

    - Slow motion is broken on some phones and Android versions;
    - Some devices have issues with their front cameras (eg: OnePlus 3/3T, 5/5T). You may have to install a fix (if available for your phone) or disable HDR+ on the front camera (setting only available on some apks);
    - Features on new Google Camera versions may take some time to be ported;

    How to report bugs:
    If possible, post on a thread for your phone (check this list or your phone's forum) or here if you can't find a thread for your phone. Please describe the issue and give details about your setup:

    - Phone, ROM, any fixes installed;
    - Name of the apk you're using;
    - Screenshots or video recordings of the bug if you're able to;
    - A logcat if there's a crash (How to save a logcat: video guide, advanced guide);
    - Steps to reproduce the bug/crash;
    - Mention @Arnova8G2 username;

    - Your report will be ignored if no logs or a good explanation is provided.
    - Arnova8G2 will do his best to fix bugs, but keep in mind that this is a free port and he also has his personal life.


    Example of a report:
    @Arnova8G2 Portrait mode crashes on my OnePlus 3 running LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1). I'm using "GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013.apk".
    To reproduce, open the app, go to portrait mode using the front camera, and take a picture.
    Here's the crash log: <google drive link>
