this is the most basic camera app.... I don't know why you would rather use this than the normal camera... it doesn't even have HDR?

 

[Pinguin2001]

The GCam is much faster than the Stock Cam, and also makes nicer pictures and i really like the photosphere

Hi! The version on Dropbox doesn't support HDR I believe. Where exactly can I get version 2 (or whichever one supports HDR as it says in the changelog)? Thanks.

How to turn on HDR?

Hi! The version on Dropbox doesn't support HDR I believe. Where exactly can I get version 2 (or whichever one supports HDR as it says in the changelog)? Thanks.

Nevermind, it is indeed actually version 2; however, there's no option to turn on HDR. How do I turn on the experimental HDR as you've mentioned in the changelog?

v2 was a rebase and I forgot add HDR
In v2.1 which I just released, HDR and HDR+ do work, just download updated apk and install.

And thanks for using PenguinGCam

Hello, in the link the file appears to me as version 2.1. but 2.0 appears in the app. The file is wrongly uploaded there.
ps: thanks for the app it works perfect for me

 

[Arihan10]

Version 2.0, not v2.1

Huh, so now this is weird... while the .apk's file name says it's v2.1, upon installing and opening the app it's still the exact same as before and says it's still version 2 (so no HDR or anything). You may have accidentally confused the two files. See the screenshot attached here: https://i.imgur.com/4yDpwrm.jpg

P.S Thanks a lot for putting so much effort into the app btw!

 

[Pinguin2001]

Im sorry

Hi Guys,
im sorry but the v2.1 release didn't went well because I confused the files (thanks for telling me @Arihan10 and @kuryjuan)

Here is the link for v2.1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bskyjlc4x5losl5/PenguinGCam_v2.1_A51.apk?dl=1

HDR problems?

It seems HDR still isn't kicking in (HDR is turned on and so is HDR+ Control; same results without HDR+ Control and HDR). See the attached screenshots below:

Stock Camera (HDR example): https://i.imgur.com/sSmIWKq.jpg
PenguinGCam (HDR enabled, not working?): https://i.imgur.com/u1Z3boi.jpg

Is HDR not working or are there some other settings besides HDR+ Control in Advanced Options and HDR in PenguinGCam Settings that also need to be changed in order for HDR to work? Thanks a lot!

HI, I saw that A51 doesn't support full caméra2 api but you managed to get hdr+ working on this phone without root...
Could you please do something to the huawei p20 pro which suffer from this issue, please?

Im sorry, I do not have a huawei p20 to test or debug. And on A51 HDR + is extremly buggy(it sometimes uses HDR in a photo and sometimes not) and if you want HDR+ RAW( which will be part of 3.0) you will need root to enable full camera2api if that even works.

Maybe you will find something on the internet: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gcam+huawei+p20+pro&ia=web

Does it good enough for daily use? Maybe for taking picture of Online Classes Assessment?

New request

It would be awesome if it could be added google photos integration like in most gcam modifications.

Hello zombieanidata,

full google photos integration will not be happening, but penguingcam already uses Google photos editor for photo editing. If you don't have google photos installed, editing photos within PenguinGCam is not possible
