@cylon74 Search for perfection never ends, so my latest Ultimate XML for Mi Note 10 is here :) Lib is TN0606 which I liked it especially for reds indoor. More decreased luma values to further increase the details. Sharpness from 1.125 to 1 to have similar very low noise as Ultimate 2.2. Other parameters same as Ultimate 2.2. So it is good for color fidelity, very low noise on any light, and now higher details.

v 1.2 changelog: Changed lib to TN0606. Tonecurve changes on main cam. Tonecurve is default on for brighter looking photos with higher luminance contrast
Thanks a lot for you great work! Very good results onfire with your xml!

Hi,

Been shopping around for gcam versions lately. Tried a great many: burial, bsg, arnova, urnyx, ultracam. Some were great, some were better. Some were noisy, some crashed, some had off white-balance.

Ultimately, after a few days of trial and error, I settled with Arnova's 7.3.021, with google AWB off, image quality high, jpeg compression at 95%, instant (pixel4) HDR, and a number of other (non-sensor related) settings. It gives a great result overall, sharp, without noise of noise suppression artifacts. With gcam AWB off, the white balance is very good, although not perfect. 4K video works great, too.

Just a hint for someone in my shoes.

Thanks for sharing.
Two quick notes:
- have you considered instantaneous HDR of Arnova with hdr+ of beta 5 from burial? Both zsl and I don't know how you set Arnova, but by default I compared them both and beta 5 was more accurate
- Arnova just released a 7.4: have you tested your settings on 7.4 as well? Results?
- why not sharing your config here, it'll be well appreciated!!!

Thanks! I did try burial, worked for a day or two, then started crashing on hitting shutter. Hence went back to the source/root, Arnova.
I did stick to stable versions, even those are often unstable for daily use.

Here is my config. Also uploaded to celsoazevedo.

Does anyone use Urnyx 2.0 ? I found a couple of great config for burial 7.3 beta 5 but for urnyx i found only LorenzCapturesXMLforUrnyx1.6.xml.
You can easily adapt, burial is based on urnyx

Sorry but maybe you sent the wrong file.

There are no settings here in the advanced menu, no curvesand and no libpatcher, all is default so the picture quality is exactly the same of Arnova out of the box.
Am I loosing something?

My latest Ultimate series XML for Mi Note 10. Lib is TN0606 which I liked it especially for reds indoor. Besides low luma, I added Exposure Compensation, Gamma Coefficient and Low chroma denoise into the equation to get even more details and less noise. I can confidently say this is the highest detail to noise ratio XML made, up to now. Photos became slightly brighter looking which made it less darker than before. Contrast and tonecurve changes. Other parameters almost same as Ultimate UHD. Thanks to Zimonty for testing and feedback
v1.1 changelog: Lowered Gamma slightly, it had a positive effect on colors and whitish look indoors

Can I use it on onfire?

What do you recommend? I mostly take landscape pictures day/night. Thanks!
Actually I don't have much photography knowledge since it is not my profession. I know basic things as many people know. I just try to make decent settings (XML) for GCam. I guess Zimonty and other members will give you more valuable info.
