Thanks for this explanation.
In other words, BSG versions of GCam aren't free any longer.
It looks like the time for me to test other devs releases.

They're free and the private version has existed for more than a year. Nothing changed in this regard, other than the fact you now know the private version exists :p

I guess BSG was just trying to merge the two versions into one, but it's probably better to keep things as they were before.

Motorola Edge
I'm using the BSG version 8.1, and NGcam 8.2 version. I have a motorola edge 2020. I get this noise in the viewer, but hardly any in the photo. What adjustments can I use to limit this?

Hi everyone !

In general, do Gcam ports improve photos on all compatible smartphone models? all styles of photos or only certain modes? Videos too?

For example a Xiaomi Mi Note 10 will have much better photos with Gcam than with the Xiaomi photo app?

Are there smartphones that have better photo quality when ported to Gcam compared to Google Pixels?

Thank you

With my RN5 Whyred, sound capture in video mode is awfull, not with the native photo app of LineageOS 18.1.
What's the origin of this Gcam Problem with RN5 ?

Not an expert in tweaking Gcam so I'm seeking help here. I'm using the latest stable BSG port of Gcam on my Samsung Galaxy A52s and set it up with the proper XML file. i'm not able to take shots with the Macro lens and slow mo videos aswell.
Any advice, please ?

Slow motion is often broken or isn't as smooth as the stock camera in most phones.

Regarding the extra cameras, unless there's a limitation with that phone, I think you have to use a Samsung package name for all to work:

  • com.samsung.android.ruler
  • com.samsung.android.scan3d
  • com.samsung.android.biometrics.service
  • etc

If we look at the latest stable from BSG (MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix), it would be the 4th or 5th apks:

I tried both (*.ruler and *.scan3d). Main + Ultrawide lens are working like a charm but the macro lens isn't.

Maybe you have to manually add the camera ID? Settings » Modules

According to the Telegram group, these are the camera IDs for the A52:

Imx682 0 back
Imx616 1 front
S5k3l6 2 wide
Imx616 3 front wide
Gc5035 52 depth
Gc5035 54 macro

No idea if it works or not, but try it.

Tried it but it doesn't work. I think a proper xml file for A52 / A52 5G / A52s would do the job (since they've got the same lenses). But I can't find any. Tried on reddit and XDA, but nothing came up.

    I've had no obvious problems with it - Moto g 5G running the 25th January build of Lineage 20 with the "com.android.mgc" version of this camera (so I can keep the original Moto camera installed also)

    Mod Google Camera
    by     @B-S-G
    ​
    The latest version by B-S-G

    This post is about the mods created by @B-S-G. Here you will find instructions on how to use this port and how to configure it properly for yourself.
    Telegram public group BSG.

    Compatibility:
    - The Camera 2 API must be activated on your device.
    - Most versions run only on Snapdragon SoC, but some run on MKT processors (will be added soon), Kirin and Exynos (we will also work on this processor;
    - 64-bit ROM is a must;
    - Doesn't work on phones without RAW support (for example, some Sony, Samsung and Huawei devices);
    - Newer versions (8.x) can only work on newer versions of Android. Version 8.x will run on Android 9+.

    Additional Information:
    - Now Moding is my full time job, so I will try to make support for all devices;
    - I will try to make a unique mod with many innovations;
    - I want to return the built-in gallery and drawing with light from GCam 7.2;
    - I want to add the ability to use Saber for all modules, including Samsung modules;
    - I want to automate the choice of configurations depending on the conditions;

    What version should you use:
    We are trying to make an all-purpose application for many devices, so it is recommended to install the latest version. Google table of supported devices. P.S. This table is based on the information from members of the private group. If there is no your device it DOES NOT MEAN that it will not work on your device.

    FAQs and troubleshooting by Celsoazevedo
    0. If your camera starts, but the video finder freezes or black, then you need to change the Preview Format to YUV (for Level 3).

    1. If your front camera is blurry, change the HDR model to Pixel 3XL.

    2. If your front camera doesn't work, change the Preview format to YUV.

    p.s. will be replenished with the development of the mod ...

    - Added additional lenses, they are still in development, but we decided to share with you an intermediate version. We are now working on dividing the libpatcher into additional modules.
    - Added autodetection of modules that support Raw format.
    - Added an item to enable zoom instead of additional modules if you do not need them.

    Known Issues:
    - All the problems of Sony smartphones, it is recommended that they skip this update and wait for fixes for them.
    - Departure of additional modules for Redmi Note 9, we will also fix it soon.

    P.S. We made many versions with different signatures. If additional modules do not work for you, then you need to install the version signed org.codeaurora.snapcam or com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng. If you have Samsung, it is recommended to install the version with Samsung signatures.

    P.S.S. There is no need to report problems with add-on modules on some devices, we know about them and almost all problems have already been fixed in future updates.
    - Added new items to the RAM patcher.
    - Improved the resolution of the GL preview video finder, by default 1280 (you can also increase it even further in the developer settings - camera.cuttle.glpreview_max_res, but it will use the closest one available to you)
    - Added new Merge method (3 - Spatial RGB)
    - Fixed the problem of the video finder freezing in the dark, turn on the GL preview (the problem is known on LG smartphones and OnePlus Nord n10).
    - Disabled RAW image compression.
    - Added a test version of the libpatcher (Eszdman), at the moment there are not all the settings that we wanted to add in it (please do not ask us about the libpatcher settings, we will make a complete instruction when it is added completely).
    - Added selection of Merge Saber (I advise you to choose the value for your device).
    - Added reboots for applying settings and reduced their number during the porting of libpatcher.
    - Added selection of profiles for Slow motion.
    - The application has become more automated and optimized.
    - Fully optimized mod, the application should work faster.
    - Added tracking focus to video mode (needs a lot of resources, can slow down).
    - Finally all the problems of the Google Pixel have been fixed (all models, everything works without restrictions. Select "Pixel" in the settings and your model).
    - Fixed crash of frontal video for some devices that do not support 1080p (can be changed in the settings).
    - Temporarily added an item to activate astro as in Pixel devices.
    - Added support for Redmi Note 8 Pro (MTK) smartphone.
    - Fixed interface freezing issue for Xioami Mi Note 10 (when the interface was slow to respond).
    - Fixed problems with the Xiaomi Mi 9se interface freezing (when many additional functions were connected: Auto NS, focus tracking).
    - Fixed video crash on some devices.
    - Added some fixes for Sony smartphones, purple circles should disappear in night mode.
    - Fixed problems with Auto NS and night mode for Realme XT (when the snapshot was not saved and the processing was frozen).

    - Fixed the problem of black portrait mode for Google Pixel.

    - 4K problem on some devices (Realme XT).
    - Improved color and noise quality.
    - Added session selection for video and Slow mo (you can choose a session suitable for you, there are no instructions for this function and will not be, you need to select it manually).
    - Fixed extended HDR and night mode for Sony Xperia 1, 5 (Mark I, Mark II). there are still problems
    - Added Developer Settings, there are no instructions for this item either, everything needs to be tested personally, we are not responsible for the operation of these settings.

    ⚠️ Development disruption:

    BSG lives in the eastern part of Ukraine and is affected by the Russian invasion. He lives close to frontline and the area was without electricity for a few days. This update contains work made before the war started.

    If you see a slow down in development and less updates, this is why. The outages makes it hard to work on GCam and connect to the internet, and with the war there are probably more important things to focus on.

    📋 List of changes:

    🇺🇸 BSG public version changelog (8.4.400 from 03/04/2022):
    - Added number of frames in night mode
    - Added visualization of the process of saving photos in the top curtain
    - Fixed bugs in the work of the modification on some devices.

    Hello everyone please help me. I'm in the download page of the latest BSG apk but there seems to be many choices ending with snap, eng, mgc, ruler, scan3d and there's no description about their differences. What are the names all about?
