With regards with GCam MOD & GCam conf & GCam Lib:

Selfies were actually fine on my end with the previous config (This one), my only gripe about it was the ultrawide camera being grainy. I am using the Redmi Note 10 Pro using the GCam Mod, library and config that was posted on the 4th of October 2021. Here is the sample image of the selfie portrait.

Can anyone recommend me a gcam version where the pictures from the front cam looks usuable and natural?
I used lubos config they seem to be a bit over processed, pictures comes out a bit darker than usual, grainy and skin color doesn't look natural at all.
 
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!

Thanks took a few pictures using the front cam, looks much more natural and is not grainy.
I will keep you posted if I come across the issues you listed and more.

Update: Night mode needs work as listed, very noisy and unusable.

Thanks a lot for this!! I was looking for something like this. I have been using BSG PV4 as well and it seems to be the most stable. I'm fine with everything but is there any way to turn on the 1.2x zoom in portrait?

I like portraits that are zoomed in cos they look more realistic so if anyone knows how to turn on zoom for portrait mode, pls lemme know

Edit: nvm guys, I figured it out. There's an option in developer settings that lets you change the zoom factor for double tap. I just made that 1.5x and now I have the proper zoom in portrait with a double tap.

THANK YOU!
This is the first config I tried that is producing consistently better photos than miui camera.
Everything working nicely so far, including 4K EIS. Also HDR+ is not slow like with other configs.
Looking forward to your next upload😉

After a week of test, this config / gcam mod are good, but compared to miui stock camera in miui stock rom, the results are a little bit superior, non a surprise or a "wow" effects. Miui stock camera are fast, good shots when you need a immediate photo and in pro mode produce at the last the same results. Only in night mode and in a video eis, i see a superior difference.

This phone has one of the best stock cameras in its range imo, in good light there's not really much to improve on besides less oversharpening and giving a bit better dynamic range.
Where the MIUI camera underperforms is in low light conditions, so that's where my config will hopefully show the biggest improvements. Try switching to HDR+ instead of Enhanced if you don't want to wait for processing.

Thank you! I really like it. I used Lupo's config before, but found photos of faces too oversaturated / too sharp. In your config it's definitely better, but still faces don't appear 100% natural to me. Does that make sense?
Well done, thanks again.

Very quiet here now
Everyone is fine with gcam?
Which version and which cinfig?

    ✅
    Created on Xiaomi 11T Pro and AGC8.8 V8. Should work on some other phones. Sometimes it requires some changes in settings. Lens info was deleted from the config, so lenses should be recognized properly on other devices.
    ✅
    Merge Method is set to 1 for all cameras (works with Snapdragon chipsets). Set Merge Method to 0 for all used profiles if you want to use the config with a MediaTek chipset: Icon in right upper corner -> choose a profile and use Quick Settings button -> Sabre / Spatial RGB -> Merge Method
    ✅
    Very detailed photos without over sharpness and distorsions.
    ✅
    5 saturation profiles for all cameras:
    - Natural - close to real colours
    - Sat 1 - Sat 3 - for more saturated photos
    - B&W - black and white
    ✅
    Added libpatcher settings for additional 10 profiles for all cameras, so you can use your favorite LUTs with them, if you want.

    AGC8.8 V8 apk:


    How to use the config:

    - Be sure you gave all required permissions to AGC
    - Put the config into folder:
    Download/AGC.8.8/configs
    - Use "Load Configs" button from drop down menu and choose the config.

    A lib is not required with this config
    ❗


    How to use LUTs (kind of filters) with AGC GCam:

    1. Download LUTs from AGC ToolKit:
    2. Put downloaded LUTs into folder:
    /Download/AGC.8.8/luts
    3. Icon in right upper corner -> choose a profile that you want to use with a LUT
    4. Icon in right upper corner -> Quick Setting button -> Image Processing -> LUT file
    You can also change the name of the profile there.

    Plus what are u using currently
    I am using AGC8.8 for now, but play with AGC 9.1 and SGCAM 8.5, becouse I am in test group of Shamim. I am on Xiaomi 13 now, but I gave 11T Pro to my son, so I will adapt my configs for it. Then you can use it on RN10P too.

    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!

    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

    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.
