In case of deleted files from users in my editable folder, test ended here.




I've followed the moderator suggestion about the sharing and the XDA rules, although I don't like to share with non XDA members.

This first post is now with a link to GDrive with shared xmls and libs
I've adjusted this folder that everyone can modify files inside.
Please don't delete files, otherwise the test with the editable shared folder ends.

Thx to @Elinx

About Gcam

The stock camera of RN10Pro isn't that bad and has some interesting features, but if you like more, like night, 360, portret and some better camera results you can choose a Gcam version.

The only problem with Gcam is that there isn't just one best version for RN10Pro.
There are several builds and versions with different features and highlights and names like SGC, AGC, BSG, LMC from different developers.
You can find all these builds on https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

For matching with the smartphone camera and Android version you need to change a lot of settings. These configuration settings you save as an config or .XML file.

It is possible to download such files that made for RN10Pro, but because they are made by someone else for a specific Gcam build, it is mostly not perfect for all, which is the reason why there are a lot of config files for RN10Pro and specific Gcam builds.

You can load or import a config file from settings but mostly you can do this too with tapping on the black area next to the shutter button.
Some Gcam build expect these config files in a certain directory, which is mostly made with installation of the apk.

Sometimes it is advisable to load a library .SO or lib file too. Such a custom lib file affects the image quality and can correct noise levels, smoothness, colours, brightness, etc. Again this too is depended of personal preferences.

Loading or importing a custom lib file its mostly the same as with a config file. Sometimes the custom lib will load automaticly if inside the right folder.

There actually aren't. The config files are for the mi note 10 pro and the mi 10 pro which are different devices. They were also uploaded in mid-2020 so way before the announcement of the redmi note 10 pro. They were simply miscategorized.

Hello, I tried the app (and several other gcam versions) and I am not sattisfied with the night sight. I did not modify the app configuration in any way, so maybe that is the issue.

When I compare the results with my older Redmi note 7 gcam, I consider the Redmi note 7 photos to be a lot better, even though the sensor should be inferior.

On the attached link the lighter image is from Redmi note 7, the darker from Redmi note 10 pro. In the image info both the pictures have 1/4s, Redmi 7 has 9582 ISO, Redmi 10 pro 12643 ISO, but is still a lot darker (f difference is minimal and should not cause this).

When I compared the manual mode I found out I need to use 10x higher ISO in the Redmi note 10 pro to get similar results as in the Redmi note 7 (see " https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/mn09nz ").

Here are the photos:

Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Should I load some configuration file? Should I download another gcam? Which one has a good night sight for the Redmi 10 pro?

    My final final KAIRU XML (?)

    This might just be my very last XML if no problems are found. (For LMC R12 Fix)

    Changelog:
    Reduced the green tint on low-light (if it still persists then turn on AWB).

    Sharper and reveals even more details.
    Tuned the Wide camera and also fixed the distortion by changing the interface model, turns out it fixes the distortion only after capturing the image.

    Added a subtle but very nice beauty mode "✨". It is very nice especially on portrait shots / human shots because it hides a bit of the imperfections (but not too much like what a TikTok filter would). And has the same color profile as the Main lens. I also recommend this mode for a very good low-light or maybe even night pictures because it has very low noise

    Please give it a try!

    After a closer look at the thread, I find it is totally against XDA's standing on the way of sharing.
    As a forum user for years, I spent 20 minutes on this thread back and forth, trying to find the direct links to download files but repeatedly encounter such words "xx is in invitation group" and it leads me to nowhere.
    The whole thread will remain closed until I removed all off topic posts about "invitation group". And I believe this may take a few days.

    TL;DR: all sharing must be happening on XDA or use XDA as major platform

    Wall of Text

    This thread has been cleaned from off topic posts. You may notice that in total about 4 pages of posts are gone (147 vs 143).

    As posted by some users here, this is one of the largesst gcam thread on XDA and the only thread existing for gcam discussion for this device. Unfortunately, it is not very friendly to new gcam users. A newbie, like myself :p, would be 99.5% lost during browsering this thread and the files people talking about were nowhere to find. This must stop.

    I understand a developer's feeling of getting recognization, fulfilled, being needed, helpful, and credited. It is a great achievement to let your hard work to be used by many others. To a developer, getting feedback for sure is a critical way to improve the work. In this thread, I see many users are sharing their work and providiing feedback to each other, not only the main developer here, but each other. I belive in this gcam thread, everyone can develop and you are your own developer. Kudos to every "developers" here. :)

    I also understand the feeling of "losing your work" when you posted it but no one cares or use it without feedback, it feels like "stealing" or "underappreciated". But I believe that is only a tiny portion of users, especially on XDA. And the background reason also varies: some users are new to this development or shy to share or just want to cherry pick the best for themselves. XDA is on internet, and on internet, we see all kinds of people like in your work, in your life. We accept the fact that users are not all perfect but to see the beauty in it: sharing the work with others.

    From now on, please share the xml files directly on XDA. And for OP @Laptapper , I highly suggest you update the first post to include a repo or filehost or any format of summary you like to give others an overview of current progress. For example, you could release a monthly version and then continue ongoing test with users. This is just my suggestion and you have every right to select the way of sharing.

    In the end, I want to emphasize one point:     all sharing must be happening on XDA or use XDA as major platform. Otherwise it is not allowed by our rules and content will be removed.


    Thanks for reading this wall of text. Hope you all have a good time developing! :D

    Sharing my personal config, arrived at after months of testing and tweaking:
    - For BSG {Mod edit: Telegram reference removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}, no library needed
    - Tested on M2101K6G (sweet)
    - Based on {Mod edit: Telegram reference removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator} (heavily tweaked for reduced noise, more accurate colours, better dynamic range)

    - All cameras configured (main, ultrawide, macro, front)
    Includes stabilised 4k video recording for all cameras (though GCam stabilisation isn't as good as on stock MIUI app)​
    - Photos are sharp and detailed, while still looking natural (no oversharpening halos etc)
    - Colours are natural and accurate but more punchy than stock (especially in low light)

    If you prefer instant photos you can turn off HDR+ Enhanced, but I recommend keeping it on as it gives you improved noise management in main cam, better preserved highlights in ultrawide, and more detail in macro/front at the cost of ~1 sec shutter time. Test for yourself if it's worth it.

    ISSUES:
    - No distortion correction in ultrawide
    - In some cases Night Sight photos may be more noisy than optimal
    - Viewfinder may get too dark to see well at night, you can turn on OpenGL preview to fix this

    This is a work in progress, so let me know what you think!

    hi guys
    this is the SACHISK MIXED xml with main lens and front cam from KAIRU FINAL -0-.
    in other words, all of Kairu's main lens natural and definition settings entered into Sachisk's XML. So we have the main camera from Kairu, and the rest (ultrawide lens and video recorder and other configs) from Sachisk. for LMC 8.4 x9s.

    i could not change AWB settings, so the main camera has all the settings from Kairu without AWB. AWB settings from Sachisk.


    from my last 3 2 and a half months, a LMC x9s is really quite stable, and an XML SACHISK MIXED presented the best compromise between functionality and good quality so far. I decided to mix the best of Kairu with the best of Sachisk according to my opinion.
