GCam for Galaxy S8+ Exynos with Android 9.0 Pie non-root

[extended84]

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Exynos with android 9.0 Pie and OneUI 1.0, not rooted.
I have searched for a Gcam apk to work with my phone with night sight (night mode) and eventually all features working

The solution that I found is the following:
First, I have installed:
Arnova's Advanced 1.5: GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850.apk (Arnova8G2, 2019-04-18)
from here:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/

I have used the following settings in the application:
Mod settings:
- HDR+ parameters: 15
- Autoexposure correction: 1,5 sec
- Correction NightSight: 1/6 sec
- Pixel 3 AWB: “ON”
- Advanced > Base > Config > “Pixel2018 HW Zsl Hdr(need YUV)
- Advanced > Base > Back camera > “Pixel 3 XL”
- Advanced > Base > Front camera > “Pixel 3 XL”
- Advanced > FIX > Using Sabre: “Auto”
- Advanced > FIX > RAW Format: “RW_SENSOR”
- Advanced > FIX > Viewfinder Format: “YUV_420_888”

Photo:
- Advanced > General > Final JPG quality: “100%”
- Advanced > General > Option HDR+: “ON”
- Advanced > Portrait > Enhanced HDR+: “ON”
- Advanced > Portrait > Remove zoom: “ON”
- Advanced > Portrait > Save to /DCIM/Camera: “ON”
- Advanced > Nightvision > Alternative config: “ON”
- Advanced > Others > Optical Stabilization (OIS): “ON”

All the features of GCam are working without error.
I have tried also to install from the same site:
Arnova's Advanced 1.7: Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800.apk (Arnova8G2, 2019-07-16)

with the same settings are there are no problems there also.

I have tried to install the version: Arnova's 6.2.030 v2.2: Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.190716.1800-Final.apk (Arnova8G2, 2019-07-16) from the same link but I have no image and I cannot access the settings.

Has someone with root tried to install this version?
Maybe it doesn’t work on my phone because it’s not root?

I Will test it tomorrow
I have rooted s8 Plus stockroom 9 pie
Exynos
Kernel a2n2
TWRS

Good but portrait not working

Everything works pretty well except Portrait Mode.
Photos are way too over exposed.

Do you know any setting that could fix that?

I've tried it. Works. But I don't see any huge benefit from the stock samsung app beside nightscape. Am I missing out on some options ?

 

[rn2web]

Tested Galaxy s8 PLUS android 9 rooted
Kernel a2n

Works.
I only liked the night mode.

I've got same problem here.

How about speed?
Can we shoot pics with Enhanced HDR+ enabled one by one?
Means take a pic and do not wait for processing to take the next pic?

 

[Glendog1]

Anyone got Portrait mode working with this?

Hello everyone! Does this work for the galaxy s8 exynos?? I redirected here from the gcam forum in xda..

 

[User_99]

Yes it works good on exynos model. Apply the settings as told by senior xda member, @extended84

If applying those many r too much then atleast do the following for PORTRAIT MODE and NIGHT Sight to work. Follow.my steps below:

1) Advanced > FIX > RAW Format: “RW_SENSOR”
2) Advanced > Nightvision > Alternative config: “ON”

In my review there is slight difference in Gcam n Samsung Camera. But Gcam gives u variety of options to change.

I follow all the instruction as it is , using samsung s8+ Exynos stock.
Gcam normal camera works but portrait or night shot give literally white images after taken.

 

[xDontStarve]

Works for S8 Exynos

I follow all the instruction as it is , using samsung s8+ Exynos stock.
Gcam normal camera works but portrait or night shot give literally white images after taken.

Same, for portrait mode at least. Photos are so exposed they're almost all white - S8 Exynos.
Overall, app works rather slow - other than occasionally using Night Mode it won't be useful at all.

Hi,

I browsed that page and honestly I'm lost. The list is very long and confusing. I have Galaxy S8 Exynos. Which file I should download?

But portrait mode does not work. At least not in a normal way. Every single photo is overexposured.
Same goes to night sight, but at least there, the overexposure is needed to be exposured correctly in the dark.

It wont let me install, any ideas?
