yes, 1/8 slow motion work with Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye version GCam. maybe for this you can look my thread.
1/8 slow motion works but like all other camera apps it drops frames ruining the slow motion shot, I just tried the Parrot version with all your recommended settings.

Can anybody please tell me the package name for poco F1?
I'm not able to understand which file to download from the site.

Download the MGC (com.android.mgc).
If you already have a gcam with that package name installed then choose another one so to not overlap like ENG (com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng)

Hi, just a follow up question
Can you please explain what the difference is between MGC / ENG/ Snap etc.
Also does Mi9 config work on our Poco for latest BSG gcams?
Thanking you in anticipation of you kind advice.

Hello,
It's just different package names. Some devices like Samsung need a specific package name like (com.samsung.android.ruler). General in our device most of the package names should work. The most poppular are MCG and ENG. You can also have different gcams ports installed by using different package names so it won't overlap.
I don't know about the config of Mi9. Try it, it should work since it's just config but it may not be the best choice for poco f1. In my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides thread, you can find all working gcams for poco f1 and also an XML config. Try this.

Final builds of older versions for people who appreciate the good old days
7.0.009
-Initial Pixel 4 build
6.1.013
6.1.009
-Initial Pixel 3 build
5.3.015
-Technically, Google made it for Pixel 2 :wink: wink:
5.1.018
-Initial build for Poco F1/MI 8 which made them as the first Snapdragon 845 device to get a working portrait in Google Camera
3.2.045
-Doesn't need Gapps.
-Portrait on objects working (Lens Blur)
-Panorama working without any weird shutter speeds.
-This is a really old version of Gcam which few people prefer as it consumes less battery but the picture quality may/may not be worse. It has got some legacy but things you won't find in new versions like lens blur(portrait) on objects.
-Google made it for Nexus 6P with Pixel 1 in mind. Who knows back then it's going to create a revolution in mobile photography ?
*These are not a substitutes/Updates. Just another option for people who appreciate the good old days

@defcomg (Savitar) - Paypal199Recommended settings for Poco/MI 8 (Updated on Mar 5, 2019)
(These settings are just recommended for the best point & shoot experience possible. You are free to tweak as you like.)
If you are using San1ty mod- Just download this config and copy it into GCAM/Configs folder to set the below settings automatically. You can load the config by double tapping on the empty space near the shutter button.
If you're using Bsg build or you want to tweak the settings manually, you can have a look below. (Few toggles can be at different places or minor renames in San1ty mod but they're easy to find. )
HDR+ is recommended for most of the situations. Use HDR+ Enhanced only if you need details in highly bright areas like harsh sunlight.
BSG Mod Settings >
Input Model
>Interface style - Pixel 2
>Back Camera - Pixel III XL
>Front Camera - Pixel III XL
>Config - Pixel 2018 ZsIR Hdr+
HDR+ Parameters
>Min. ISO limited by exposure - Off
>Minimum frames - 7
>Maximum frames - 7
(Use 24-24 if you need slightly sharper pics but processing takes more time.)
(Use 14-23 if you use HDR+ Enhanced more often than HDR+)
Don't change anything in Night Sight parameters
Final jpg quality HDR+ - 100
Disable zoom in portrait mode - On/Off (Optional, It's your personal preference depending on how you want a portrait to look)
Save to DCIM/Camera - Off (Optional, You can turn it on but few users reported problems with it like deletion of pics. Logs are appreciated)
Turn on Pixel 3 AWB - Off (Only on San1ty's build)
Enhanced HDR+ in portrait mode - Off
*Only enable 'Add Aux to camera switch' if you are using MI 8. (Use Bsg build if you need this option.)
Libs - Xlib-mod V2/XS or default depending on your personal preference of contrast. (Use whichever you like but I recommend Xlib-mod V2/XS personally.
A simple explanation
Default(Pixel 3) - Boosted colors/contrast with more noise and less sharpness
Xlib-mod V2/XS - Natural colors/contrast with less noise and more sharpness.
You can read it in detail below.
Default - These are default Pixel 3 libs. Saturated, less sharpness and crushed shadow detail for boosted contast just like in Pixel 3. It may look beautiful in the first glance but can be inaccurate most of the times.
Xlib-mod V2/XS - It is tuned with I phone XS Smart HDR in mind. Personally I like this one more than Pixel default lib because it doesn't crush shadows and maintains natural colors like I phone XS along with the trend setting Pixel HDR+ algorithm. It's like the best of both worlds but feel free to test before settling on one.
Eszdman - Looks almost the same in comparison with default libs but has better shadow detail which may positively/negatively affect contrast depending on the scenario.
Savitar - Natural colors but slightly less shadow detail compared to Xlib V2 and has a grainy look to it.)
Saturation
Back Camera
>Highlights saturation - 1.0
>Shadows saturation - 1.6
Front Camera
>Highlights saturation - 1.0
>Shadows saturation - 1.6
Fix
>Viewfinder processing - Enable 'Motion' & 'AE' (Only in B-S-G build.)
>Resampling method - Raisr (Only in San1ty's build)
No need to change anything else in 'fix' section for our device
Happy New Year everybody.32Update
MGC_6.1.021_V1g
-Slow Motion works
-New config added : hybrid pixel3 + night mode (last one in the list). It should be faster and more detailed.
-New libs from Eszdman included.
Note for newbies - This has been posted numerous times but the thread is plagued with same questions.
-It works on MIUi Pie Beta and Custom roms just by installing the apk
-You need to flash the Magisk or TWRP fix for MIUI Global Pie Stable 10.1.3 if you have unlocked bootloader.
-Use the Oreo version on Global stable if you have a locked bootloader until Xiaomi releases the new update.32Update
MGC_6.1.021_F1.apk
*This mod is from San1ty based on Bsg's build.
Changelog
-Based on: MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2b_plus3.apk
-Forced Sabre Merge (Super Res Zoom), better quality and less noise on pictures shot with zoom.
-Slightly faster processing in all input models.
-Removed useless settings.
-Removed old custom libs and added new ones.
-Fixed Google Lens.
-Changed Package Name so no conflicts with other apks.
(More minor changes and stuff I forgot to include.)
(Manual sliders are still present:
For Focus slider: Select distance (right slider) and tap once on viewfinder to refocus. If you don't want to use it leave it on Auto.
ISO/Expo slider (left slider): To use it you need to switch to HDR+ Enhanced and enable Savitar V2 custom lib from settings. After doing that you can select the option you like and shoot pics freely. In case you forget to select Savitar V2 and you are stuck with black viewfinder, clear cache of GCam. If you don't want to use the slider leave it on Auto.)
Thanks to SkyKing007, Savitar, cstark, Urnyx and BSG for the tips/help and testing stuff for me.31Update to @sannn111ty build
