No one can help if you don't tell which gcam version and which XML....
LMC 8.4 R15 and I'm using my own XML.

I also tested the antykat lib and the antykat xml. Can you guys test your own XMLs in a lighting condition like in my pictures?

Great 👍
If you haven't change anything more, then procedure of installation is like in below description:

NOTE:
Sometimes happens that LMC doesn't load settings from Libpatcher for Front camera and uses only settings from the lib. Photos are little too sharp then, but maybe some of you like such photos. Switch to Front camera from other than Main camera to be sure that additional settings are used.


❗
FOR USING WITH MY LIB (link below):


❗
The xml is useless without a lib.


How to use the xml and the lib:

1. Put the lib into folder:
/LMC8.4/libs
2. Put the xml into folder:
/LMC8.4
3. Double tap at the black area between shutter button and gallery to load the xml. The lib is loaded automatically by the xml if the lib is in right folder.

Thank you for your work!

Thanks for sharing. I think i got your 11TPro xml working now for the RNP10Pro by configuring the lens ID. Attached for other people to try out.
If my LMC xml works well and give good results, then you cam adopt my xml for SGCAM too. Here it is:


I have also xml/agc for MTSL and BigKaka AGC, but I haven't posted them on xda yet.

EDIT

OK. I checked correct lenses ID for RN10PRO in xmls created for that phone and I can change them to post my xmls here. Just tell me if it makes sense. What are photos taken with my xml and your phone? Photos taken with RN10Pro xmls on my phone (11T Pro) was poor, but maybe these were poor xmls 🙂

Hey, yes, all i have changed is the lens ids and your xmls appears to be working on our phones. Happy for you to post RN10pro specific ones.

Photos are natural looking (which is what i prefer personally). (y) In some situations i have to turn on AWB to get a more natural colour tone

I'll leave it up to other people in this thread to do comparisons, as they are better at this than me.

Xml and Lib for BSG 8.7.250 v7

. Tweaked some sharp parameters from arcide Lib to make it a bit sharp
. adjusted hdr contrast and many other parameters according to my taste
. Load xml by double clicking between shutter and gallery preview ( can be loaded from settings too)
. Go to settings Libraries/load custom Lib
Select lib and Load

Note:
.dont enable additional settings from settings/configuration of modes it will simply override Lib settings so you will dont get desired results from Lib

Xml update for LMC R15

Cant remember changelogs from previous xml (perfect shot final xml)but fixed some issues in Cct and many other changes

Sunny Lense AWB

Try this darkxstaar combo with attached lib.
Then in my opinion we need some more light brilliance @Darkxstaar and may be for really small text a bit more sharpness ?
And options for ofilm and sunny..... that's it or not?
What's your opinion @ all gcam enthusiasts ;)

I already Tested @antykat Lib and his xml he shared with me before the public release for testing,they are good and i respect his works its based on his own taste and you know everyone has different 😄

If you use @antykat Lib with my xml then my values will override Lib values and results will be totally opposite or even better in some situations, you can tweak light and shadows for more brightness( lower highlight compensation to 1280, brightness intensity to 1.0625 for similar results like antykat)with hdr+ in my xml, for Sharpness i dont like more its already oversharp for my taste, already using another Xml along with this as my daily driver which has ideal sharpness will share it later with different version for lmc.

Sharing previous lmc xml with ofilm and sunny wb values.

As i saw this post last night, i had to stop my Comparison of what (Budget-)Phone to buy, i got it now. And oh damn, this is outstanding! Came from P20 Pro (Generic GCam, also still decent Huawei Cam), had very shorttime S9 with Gcam, but wow, this here is mindblowing. Havent tested the the other goodies yet, like awb and noise model.

But one small Problem; Beta 4 Crashing at doing Videos. :(

Most XMLs and libs are fine when it comes to most lighting conditions but most turn ugly once you try shooting in scenes with difficult lighting like having multiple bright objects in the frame or against the light situations. Is this because of the sensor of our phone?

Look at these samples I've taken. The issue I'm talking about is more apparent during daylight so I'll post more once I've got better samples.

Configs (xml + lib) for Redmi Note 10 Pro and LMC8.4 R15.

About the configs:

✅ The xml was adopted from Xiaomi 11T Pro. I hope that everything works properly. It wasn't tested on custom/GSI roms.
✅ Very detailed photos without over sharpness from all cameras
✅ Close to real colours from Main camera
✅ Natural looking photos
✅ Sat 1 and Sat 2 modes for more saturated photos from Main camera
✅ Upscaling is set to x2 for all cameras
✅ Turn on AWB in Night Sight mode to get accurate colours

Xml:

❗The xml must be used with my lib (link below):
{Mod edit: Telegram reference removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

How to use the xml and the lib:

1. Put the lib into folder:
/LMC8.4/libs
2. Put the xml into folder:
/LMC8.4
3. Double tap at the black area between shutter button and gallery to load the xml.
The lib is loaded automatically by the xml, if the lib is in right folder.

    20220901 Thread cleaned

    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.

    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!

    20220830 Moderator Information

    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.
