Try my XML. I found that the combination of Lut Noise Fix (4.0), enabled camera.shasta_zsl from the Developer settings, and Spatial Bayer gets rid of the green or pink tinting and the noise that you get when shooting in scenes that are against the light or have high dynamic range. But now you have a new problem. Some parts of the scene get duplicated as if gcam used photoshop's healing brush on it.
Try this one , its merge 3 different than my regular xml

1/8 Slomo works for me(stock Rom) on lmc. didn't tried to fix it in bsg 8.7 , ...
I have tried now LMC8.4r15 with antycat lib+xml and LMC8.4r15 with your Ofilm xml
On both combi's, 1/8 video will crash the camera, but all other video modes does work
I understand that the main focus isn't on video, so no problem with this.

I have tried to find the LMC8.4 settings for it to compare with MGC8.1, but couldn't find these.

In the past with LMC8.4 and now for MGC8.7 all video modes crash my camera, which I find a problem with selecting video mode by accidence.

Have you guys tested my config? Do you also get the healing brush effect that I was talking about when taking pictures in high contrast scenes? Btw, only the main rear cam is configured. Most of the changes I've made are focused on getting a clear picture on high contrast scenes. And I'm still figuring out how to get rid of that healing brush effect.

This is what I meant with the healing brush effect. And from what I saw in the changelogs of LMC, the developer calls it motion artifact.

All Xmls are near together.....
In my opinion only the smallest things and the low light could be approved.

Crops of @antykat , @Darkxstaar and @intelinside70, @Kairu135 and my showing the small details differences.
In low light antykat is too dark....
I'm on the way to get better evening pics without switching to night mode....

Sorry, but I don't agree 🙂 For me differences are huge on your samples. Could you post photo files please? Thanks.

Don't agree again. Photos were taken in evening. Second one is unnaturally overexposed for these light conditions, but not much. The third one is much too dark. Taken with my xml should be slightly brighter. But it's only my opinion and my taste 🙂

All have pros and cons

The real view is more bright as the brightest picture.
You were there, so I believe you of course. I could only guess. But I don't understand what is the point of taking and comparing night/evening shots without Night Sight that was created for such situations. And what about photos in strong light with the same settings? Settings are always a kind of compromise and can't be perfect in all conditions.
Will you post photo files from text test that I asked for? Thanks.

Possible that u could add the BigKaka Mod with the fix-v2 config into your comparison? :)

I havent tested much, but when im honest, every Mod + Config i tested i found in forums was terrible as daily driver. Only overtuned for specific pictures. :/

Edit: Also finest Details are just gone with most Mods, sadly.


As example Bigkaka + V2 Config. Guess u guys get what i mean. :)

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

    Changes:

    - New, rebuilt Sat 1 and Sat 2 modes
    - Improved Macro camera

    About the configs:

    ✅ Works on both (64 and 108 MP) variants
    ✅ Detailed photos without over sharpness from all cameras
    ✅ Close to real colours from Main camera
    ✅ Sat 1 and Sat 2 modes for more saturated and contrasted photos from Main camera
    ✅ Upscaling is set to x2 for all cameras.
    ✅ Turn on AWB in Night Sight mode to get more accurate colours

    Xml:



    ❗The xml must be used with my v6 lib (link below):



    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.

    Why?? Now there is two gcam discussions open. I earlier reported that thread because it should be merged in to this thread.
    @Dayuser While we certainly appreciate your suggestions, I'd also appreciate if our decisions are accepted after they were made. This is a discussion thread, and the other one by @Prashant Dukare is a development thread. To move those two posts into a discussion thread would disqualify a developer's efforts.

    For me HDR+ is favorite in case of fast shot.
    Sgcam 8.7 is looking a bit noisy but best details and I think it could be improved to the best pic.

    @nstream I didn't use led flash in case of not needed and flash reduces quality of far objects (also leica with flash produced bad over all details)
    Led flash only needed in absolutely no light conditions....but for me it's useless in case of I've had no situation in no light to fotograph...


    Checkout the laptapper darkxstaar package with Gcam lib and XML

    Install APK, open, import lib, import XML, restart the app, success
    (It's v9 and in my opinion with this config better as V10)

    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.


    20220901 Moderator Information
    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.
