I found some half working solution on BSG telegram group that fixes ultrawide and telephoto cameras, but still no solution for the main camera freezing issue....
I used this version with package name for Samsung MGC_8.7.250_A11_V13_scan3d

settings-> configuration of modes-> add 21 to black list and 52 to white list.
then change session ID for both back cameras (0.5 and 2.9) to 61456
both telephoto and ultrawide should work now.

still no fix for the main camera freeze...

I really hope someone would find a way around it or a developer would help out, maybe add the buffer fix eveyone is asking for....

any other updates you guys know about?

Such a shame camera suck on this phone, my old one plus 6 with gcam shoot better pictures than this.
Would never bought this phone if i knew about the crap camera and not be able to install working version of gcam.

yeah it is really disappointing no solution is found after so long. I tried everything, at this point without one of the main developers taking on this project it's probably never going to get fixed...everything else is working fine for me but the camera is a disaster, lagging all the time and generally mediocre shots if conditions are less than optimal...if no gcam fix comes out will probably switch to pixel in couple of months.

I have contacted Arnova8G2 developer. He gave me some instructions and provided test version. He is trying to make it working on S21 FE. I will give you with the link from the thread on github. If you succeed please make config file for the settings. Good luck

Yeah I also tried the steps in the above GitHub post but still the freezing persists. Hopefully Arnova8G2 will find a solution

    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????????????

    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.

    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).
