Themes / Apps / Mods Gcam for OnePlus 9 pro

[stazz83]

A working Gcam for our phone, because we deserve it:

BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port

Modified Google Camera app by BSG.

www.celsoazevedo.com

(always use this version: org.codeaurora.snapcam)

Compared to the stock camera, the shutter is faster and the colours are somewhat more vibrant. Haven't had a chance to compare night modes yet.

If you have an XML setup to recommend, please do share.

Nice thanks! Do you know how to set it as the default camera app? I tried disabling the op camera app, but now I cannot open my camera from my lock screen.

The option should be under app info > advanced settings.

Update: I have tested the latest BSG's version of 8 April and it works as well.

Just make sure you download the org.codeaurora.snapcam version from this page:

Weird how 4K 60fps only works on the ultrawide camera and not the main camera.

Is there any gcam mod that allows to record 8k and 4k/120fps? BTW I tried many mods and I did not find any with all functionalities available: all cameras, motion photos, night sight etc. If motion photos available, only single camera can be used, etc.

I also don't understand why they decided to remove all languages other than English from all mods. Original Gcam supports many languages.

Not at the moment, as far as I know but our device's release happend less than a month ago so the development is still in early stages. BSG is quite fast at updates so hopefully it'll eventually happen.

I guess that way is much more simple and if that's the trade-off for faster updates than I'm very happy with it.

What is much more simple? Additional languages strings are original from Google, no need to touch them. Of course, additional custom settings will appear in English only, because they won't be translated.

Additional effort required to remove all translations. So it's opposite to what you are saying

What's the difference between the org.codeaurora.snapcam and the com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng apks?

 

[jprattnu]

Was wondering the same... Thank you.

That's the package signature. On some phones, using the Snapcam one allows access to the auxiliary cameras (ultrawide, telephoto).

So IOTW, the snapcam is preferred for the 9 Pro then? Also, can anybody find a way to track that specific release somehow incase it updates? Thank you!

Edit - what is an XML setup btw?

I think so, yes. I read Snapcam is recommended for phones from BBK-owned smartphone brands. However keep in mind a brand could "block" the access to auxiliary cameras at any moment. For example Samsung blocked access to the selfie camera, so in GCam ports, the selfie camera just does not work on Samsungs... Not sure if they have fixed it, but I know it's been a problem for Samsung users.

I don't think there's a way to track it, just gotta visit the celsoazevedo page from time to time. Although most updates are minor, so don't worry about that.

Edit - what is an XML setup btw?

You can download a XML file, and import it to the GCam app. It will import settings from the file, so if you find a XML file for the 9 Pro BSG Gcam port, just download it and import it via the app. Also you can create XML files yourself, and share them if you want as well.

Some manufacturers have even coded things to prevent third-party cameras from using the phone's full camera resolution capabilities. On OnePlus devices they could be locked to 12 MP, even the main camera.

Here is the updated files from the site that does all the gcam mods https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/
There is no configs anyone has done yet here is my saved one with my settings if you wish to try it, only changed lens device settings and interface settings, nothing modified for actual photo adjustments.
To apply go into setting and look for load xml then pick it from the file picker

Nothing, really. They just have different signatures. If you find that certain additional modules (Magisk flashables that add or enhance a device's camera functions) don't work, try the other. Some devices have a camera version signed specifically for them (ie, Samsung phones) because of this. It just happens that the snapcam signature seems to work best on our device.

I'm having some nasty issues with a strong lilac purple pink RAW files from Gcam recently. It makes it unusable. It worked fine before but suddenly this problem started happening, perhaps it came after a system update. :/

I tried this and the colors were way to bright and inaccurate

We'll, it's not a secret that Google's image processing slightly saturates the colours and beautifies photos. Not a bad thing imho.

Anyhow, BSG keeps releasing new builds, the latest one dated today:
