I tried it with different gcam versions as well after I saw your post.
Same thing happened to me. Viewfinder freezes even it was mentioned it's working for our FE.

Anyone tested these gcams from the S21U thread?

Im very sad, i bought S21 FE(Snapdragon) but the stock camera it's to much sharp and sometimes with watercolor effects, i have tried many version of google camera and the only Gcam that's work a little bit it's the Shamin 8.4 v24, with the XML of S21U, but only the zoom and ultrawide works.
The main camera works only if you are very fast(before freeze).
i have tried to modify the xml for improve the quality for the 3X and 0.5X camera, in my opinion this increase a little bit the overall quality.
The trick is to shoot in raw (at the moment only gcam can save telephoto raws).
Im waiting for a better Gcam, but at the momnent this is the best!

Look this tests, i prefer a little bit softer image but with more details.
The stock camera have a very invasive HDR, create a wider dyanamic range (in this photos can't notice too much because weather it's cloudy)that's ok, sometimes take very nice photo, and sometimes looks too much "oniric".
The ultrawide havent't the lens correction and create a very ugly distortion,t he zoom interpolation of stock camera it's nice, but too much oversharpen, look the small details in gcam.
At only 3X in my opinion that's no way for stock camera, gcam it's better.
I hope someone can will be able to make it work perfectly for the main camera and use the real quality of ours S21 FE.

    Try Parrot043 GCam version if that works without viewfinder freezing.

    Hello there! I am currently using the Exynos version, BSG's GCam seems to be working fine for me, but I cannot seem to enable Telephone 3x cam, can someone help me? it is just blank.
    At this point it doesn't seem to matter which variant you have. There are major differences yes, but the problems seem to be very similar: non working camera interfaces. The difference is that for us, the cameras start but fail after 2 seconds. And for you it doesn't even start.

    Most of us I think have the SNAPDRAGON version and this should be prioritised as this is what GCAM is originally designed for and the easiest to port for. Also, with Samsung previously only USA got Snapdragon , but now Europe got it too, starting with the S20FE and this tradition continued with S21FE. I am so happy to have the Snapdragon version , it was the reason I chose this model. However, the Exynos version is also remarkably great in this series.

    BUt still I am shocked beyond words that there is not a version for Snapdragon S21FE. I mean, GCam is naturally for Snapdragon, this is a new and affordable phone, probably lots of people have it already, WHY is there no GCAM????????????

    Watching...will be returning the S21 FE, the stock camera really produces poor quality shots, colors are over saturated and 3x are blocky :-(

    pretty sad that we don't have a working GCam port for the S21 FE with the Snapdragon SoC.
    I thought this was a popular choice, especially since now you can get if for a low price, and for such a popular phone I would've expected to have a working GCam port asap :)
    anywayz, can't wait for such a version to be posted soon. of course, one that works with all cameras, ESPECIALLY with the main one.
    thanks in advance for anyone providing such a port of GCam for the S21 FE (with SD SoC).
