alright so i tested tonight:
shammim with libs and config
lmc with libs and config
agc with libs and config and noise modeler
(and stock miui cam just in case)
so what do you all think?
Thanks for your comparison.
What you think yourself? Because only you has seen the original view, so I'm interested in your personal opinion.

MIUI is brighter but Shamim and AGC are easy to setup in night brighter with increasing iso...

Yeah you're right,anyways..i think shammim has some kind of noise in the sky while the other pics don't,but it also has the best details and quality.lmc is a bit too dark though
So for now my opinion is:
-Shammim is the best but it needs more teawking to reduce noise
-AGC is also the best in terms of lights and details(my hands are shaky xD but if i try more and get a stable one im sure it's going to rival shammim quality)
-LMC is good overall too,but like you said we can't improve it further...
i think we should focus more on shammim and AGC and make one of them the best app overall🤝

Comparing MTSL-SHAMIM-LMC Gcams:
-MTSL 7.2 with Xml:MTSL8.3_V7.2, Lib: libpatched_ini.so (Pag 28 post 554).
-Shamim V20 with Xml: SACHISK_SHA8.4_V20_Finalƒô©.xml (Page 50 post 998), Lib: lib8.4.300_Arcide_2022-04-07.so (Page 50 post 998). Note, I think something is wrong, since I don't see that the Lib loads (it appears without selecting either Google or custom lib) (it may be a problem with the Gcam V20 app???).
-LMC 8.4 with Xml: startxml-lmcR9-3.xml (Page 62 post 1227), Lib: libgcastartup_ xHDR.so (Page 60 post 1188).

First shots, at dusk, see cloud color and mountain wall on the left (it is light orange). Details of the photo can be seen on the sheets at the bottom of the photo. Main lens. Miui missing.

Second shots, backlit photo. The wall is orange in color (it is partly red limestone and white sandstone, together with pieces of more compact gray limestone-->the real color tends to light orange). main lenses.

I add xml and Gcam LMC tuned.

MTSL 8.3 V7.2 + libs + config are good but, Shamim V20 + libs + config are the winner (Laptapper first page).
Here are some cropped samples with @Laptapper shamim package and my unpublished xml for LMC

@Laptapper Tested your both gcam Packages, and i think Shamim package looks better overall, but it need improvement in dark areas(like indoor, with day light) it has lots of noise.hope you can adjust it(maybe the black contrast)

And with AGC v7 you need to improve a lot, there is already AGC v8 available and for me its better than v7. Instead of importing noise model there is already Hm2(#29) NM available and its better than ur shared NM,

you are using Old xHDR Lib, i compared both Libs , last released Lib is better,

And its not criticism about your work😜🙏,
Just some suggestions for your work,We just want a perfect gcam package.
I Hope you will do it 😁👍

@SachiSK Forum is a place to share opinion and fact, your unpublished xml or updated libs not shared, are only a personal opinion, not a fact to test, prove and see. For this reason, shamin of @Laptapper are the winner and the best solution for our readmi note 10 pro (for me, based on "fact").

Fyi, @Killer cr0c is Testing that unpublished xml and we both are improving it day by day, and shamim package is better but he can still improve it. And will share that xml when we think its perfect for all conditions 😃👍

@SachiSK @intelinside70 @Killer cr0c @nini_blade @paco666 @Dayuser
Thanks for your good cooperations.

My personal opinions:
Yes, AGC V8 is better than V7
Yes, newest lib MWP-xHDR_beta3.so seems to be better (in AGC and also in Shamim)

Main advantages for me of AGC are that the focus tracking works better and gives time between manually focus and shot. Further more I like the blue ring for saving progress.
Additional, I think all changed amount of small settings have small results according the settings.
I don't know if we can get better overall results as in Shamim but I think it's possible.

If there's someone who think his setting is better, don't hesitate to share it for all .... @SachiSK :cool:;)

can i use the same XML as before: SACHISK MIXED in this new LMC 8.4?
I'm using this setup as the main camera leaving the factory native one aside, I really liked the video stabilization at 60fps and the overall image quality.

Ofcourse you can use it, for upscaling goto settings/standard settings /target image size
2x= 48mp
3x = 108mp

@SachiSK your LMC 8.4 x9 v01 + XML with 3x upscalling is much better than native 108mp

awesome work!

    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.

    what's the current best for
    Pixel 8 Pro. ;)


    Testing this much hyped Sony DLSR again out of Telegram groups for AGC Mod. And i dunno whats so special.

    I hate congratulating myself, but after a lot of back and forth, I just did it myself with a solid base more or less. I was tired of having to compromise between functions. Havent noticed anything i would have need to fix so far. So, never touch a running system.

    I'm author of pretty popular universal config on other forum and want to share it here too.
    My nickname there intro555 (links not allowed on XDA). Someone brought here old and modified version, here newest.

    It took me half-year and 16 versions behind to fine-tune all 4 cameras. Especially neat macro.
    Now I'm happy with result, like many users on that forum. So give a try, samples below post.

    Compatible GCam: LMC 8.4 R17 or R18 (even R16).
    Links above go to Celsoazevedo pages: pick up any APK package name. They differ to install multiply apps of same version.

    > Download config (v.16)

    Key points
    • Realistic colors without pale overcontrast or overbrighting (like do stock and iPhones)
    • Optimal noise cancellation: no unnecessary blurring, no noise
    • Bright night mode and viewfinder
    • Video stabilization in 1080p 60 FPS and 4K, even in macro
    • Without rainbow dots in tree leaves, so called confetti
    • 108 / 16MP upscale ready for main and selfie camera: use "RES" button
    Important, please read
    • For main and wide cameras never enable "HDR+ Enhanced" in quick menu or you got a lot of noise in low-light
    • But for macro and selfie you should temporally enable "HDR+ Enhanced": this eliminates possible overlightning (GCam's thing)
    • Never enable AWB or JAWB (buttons in viewfinder), keep "sun" button enabled
    • Slow-motion video not work: can hang camera or capture sound of ultrasonic proximity sensor
    • Face retouching hidden because it won't work in any GCam and config
    Trick for macro
    Sometimes useful to lock focus for maximum magnification and don't rely on jumping auto.
    LMC have manual focus slider, but for some reason there is long delay between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture, which is unacceptable.

    Workaround: switch to "Night Mode". It sounds strange, but it's ok to use it even in bright day.
    This is similar to "HDR Enhanced" and eliminating the need to temporarily change the HDR mode like described above.
    Then in Quick menu by swiping down select "Focus > Near". I set correct values in config.
    This will set the focus to maximum magnification. Now control it simply by moving your phone.
    Exactly the same, but in the opposite direction if you select "Far". Useful for large objects.

    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!

    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.
