[stingerbs]

App doesn't get past the black screen. Tried beta and latest version, both do the same thing. Using Oneplus 7t Mclaren running Android 11

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a way to get this port running on a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G (Exynos), but for some reason it just shows the startup screen with a black background and the camera icon centered. There's no Prompts for Permissions or anything. Setting the app permissions via settings doesn't seem to help either. Am I missing something?
I thought it was also tested on a S20U? Or is this a Exynos/SD kinda problem?

I tried the latest version on my oneplus 9 oos11 eu rom. Doesnt go past the black screen with cam icon. Anything im doing wrong?

Hi @Arnova8G2 and others,
I am using a Snapdragon S10 (SM-G973U1) running One Ui 3.1 and Android 11. The apk I am using is Ruler_GCam_6.210329.0034build-8.1.101.apk and the lib I am currently using is lib_R1_01Final.so.
Config Files I am using-
GalaxyS10.xml: This XML file was intended for an older version of Gcam and does not have the newer features such as the Cinematic Pan feature. Additionally, the feature for recording slow-motion in 1/8 or 1/4 freezes when selected.
pixel5.xml: This XML file was intended for a Pixel 5 and not an S10, however, it does have the new features for video. Additionally, slow motion in 1/8 works, however, slow motion in 1/4 does not work and just freezes when selected.

Main Issue: Whatever configuration file I end up using the front camera for Camera mode, Portrait mode, or Night mode it does not work. There is a blank screen or frozen image of what was on the rear camera (images below). However, when switched to the video on the front camera it works fine and it records. I have not been able to find a fix for this, so I was hoping someone would be able to direct me to one or provide me with one.

Other Issue: As I am not really familiar with Gcam and its features, It would be nice if someone would be able to direct me to or provide me with a config file for my phone (Snapdragon s10) with the necessary optimizations and features. Also, I wanted to know if the Lib I am currently using is okay or if there is a better one that I should be using.

Images: Image 1, and Image 2

The folder with all related materials can be found here: folder. I have not included any logcat files because I had son trouble creating them, however, I will if needed. If anything else may be needed in helping me out, just let me know.

Thanks a lot,
Amal

With the exception of a few, Snapdragon Galaxy devices no longer have access to the front camera RAW API (disabled after OneUI 2.5 by Samsung) so GCam won't be usable with the front camera.

Can you try this guide and see if it works for SD version? https://xdaforums.com/t/gcam-exynos-version-from-bsg.4246095/

GCam requires RAW access in order to do its HDR magic. While BSG is able to enable the front camera somehow on his GCam, he still unable to get around the fact that it doesn't have RAW, therefore no HDR. Front camera without HDR works, but looks work than stock camera because GCam can't really do its thing.

Thanks a lot for the information Beserker15. Dcop7, I tried the guide you suggested and I was able to get the front camera to work, and the slow-motion features. However, I might just use the stock camera most of the time when using the front camera for now. Also, do any of you have any recommended config files to use because I could not find any on the apk site. Otherwise, I might just play around with the settings. Furthermore, should just use the default lib that comes with the app or another one for better images. Thanks a lot, guys.

Hello @Arnova8G2, I installed the latest gcam uploaded on Celso site - GCam_6.1Beta.210709.0049build-8.1.101.apk on my Mi 10T (stock miui 12.5.1) and it's running great except for that it seems that front cam EIS is not working. I'm using stream EISv2 which should be correct but the video is shaky.
I'm uploading a log while recording video on front cam. Please take a look at it and see if there's something wrong.
Thanks for your hard work!

P.S. It would be great if you add base models for the different cameras as only setting the model to Pixel 5 fixes the distortion on ultrawide camera. Thanks again!

My settings recommendation was on the other post. If you find other good settings, share them

How to increase the shot time for astro in latest stable build (based on gcam 8.1.101)?
Astro takes 3-4sec to capture.

Using the latest stable version of Arnova8G2 on OnePlus 7 when I click the 0,7x or 2x button of the back camera the app crashes. Does anyone know a fix?

Gcam version: Snap 6.210329.0153build-8.1.101

Oneplus 7 doesn't have auxiliary cameras, so it has nothing to use. Just turn them off in auxiliary config.

Hey @Arnova8G2, after further testing the different OPModes for the Front camera I found that only setting the stream configuration to IMX586 QBC HDR Mode (32772) made the preview stabilized but the saved video is black with small size - around 300KB for 10sec of video.
Would be grateful if you check also the new log.
Thanks!

 

[pratikp16]

Forgive me if i'm being dumb but how do i scan a QR code with the latest build? The Lens suggestion option is enabled but when i point it at a code i don't see anything.

Please advise.

Anyone know?

@Arnova8G2 AUX camera buttons on my OnePlus 7 Pro running DotOS 5.1.3 (Android 11). I'm using "Snap_GCam_6.210329.0153build-8.1.101.apk".
To reproduce, open the camera, notice no aux cam buttons, changing aux settings does not fix either. Some other Gcam 8 and 7 versions work fine with the aux cameras, but not this one - i want to use this one though, because it is the only gcam 8 that will work with slo-mo at all on my phone (i have tried with the XML, without the XML, with the magisk module for aux cams/camera quality and without it, but no luck) (version that works and I'm currently using is "GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.4") (it also worked fine on oxygen OS, using the same apk even without root)

 

[dtingley11222]

So I know this is probably never going to be answered, but is there a certain port of Gcam for the blu v50? I configured some of the settings and eventually got the video mode to work, but night mode, and normal picture mode will not work. It gets stuck at a black screen. Video works fine. If you can help me somehow, contact me at dtingley11222@gmail.com

Thank you!
