Google Camera Mod For Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F/DS)

[IDan1109]

Beacuse some users reported me that my version of Gcam is working on SD i tryed looking also for s9 exynos. For the front portrait mode there is some serious problems i guess and probably would never work until you make a bug report for Samsung. Looking at Camera2Test exynos for the front camera has 2 output formats

YUV_420_888(35), JPEG(256) and no RAW support.

Note that RAW support is enabled for the Front camera this is why portrait mode works for you only on front camera.
Basically every other version of GCam will not work for exynos user beacuse RAW_10 or RAW_SENSOR or others RAW types are not supported in any way. The only chance you have is the miniuser version. He made in that way that YUV_420_888 format is supported by handling the exception and so "black screen is fixed" on front portrait mode. This is what i understood from his code (i could be wrong though) as miniuser also said you should make a bug report for Samsung with same camera app on PlayStore that won't work beacuse i don't think they will consider Gcam port al a valid bug report considering the non support for developers community

If someone with SD version can send here camera2test (full) log to prove my point would be helpful

Any update on the portrait mode?

 

[Formhault]

Also my BSG Setting

Back camera doesn't work with these settings (Taimen).

Ok, so after changing settings to this everything works except for front camera portrait. But after you enter the portrait mode on back camera you need close the app from recents to do anything else(in the camera).

With Shamu configuration the pictures with Auto HDR+ or Enhanced are way darker than without HDR+

Like, in low light they're unusable unless you disable HDR+.

I use GCam only for portrait mode. So haven't noticed it. My settings are optimized to make back camera portrait mode work, that's it.

Why isn't it working on the S9 - i had it installed on the S8 and portrait mode worked flawlessly with both cameras?

Alright so here how to have a working GCam with Portrait mode only on the back camera and AR Sticker (photos only) for S9+ Exynos.

1.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1nPbPkEsvnq0Tjhfw4uvGy4AwYGi_z1Ji

Download both the apks in the APKs folder and install them.

2.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.ar.core

Install this app from the Play Store

3.

Go to the settings folder in the Drive link provided in Step1. And copy all the settings exactly.

4.

You should have everything working.

When i tried to use the portrait. When i click the shoot botton it doesnt do anything and when i exit the portrait mode, it crashes.

Maybe because of different chipsets

Ok so I had forgotten to put screenshot for Developer settings in the drive folder. Do that if you haven't. After all the settings are applied, force stop the app. And after taking a pic in portrait more, swipe the app from recents and open app again to take next pic. This is only for portrait more pics.

Hi, I was wondering if Google Camera on this device uses f/1.5 or f/2.4. I don't have a s9 yet so I cannot check by myself, could you check from photo info?

1.5 on my s9

Cool, it must do great shots! About custom ROMs support? Where does this Google camera work?

Hey, guys,

in the Lineage OS Telegram group for the Galaxy s9 some users report about a purple ring when shooting with the gcam port (lineage ROM). This occurs when taking photos with the HDR+ function in dark environments. Have any of you had similar experiences? If so, does anyone know a fix for this problem?

The best solution in the Telegram group was to change the "HDR+ Auto-exposure mode" in the settings to "1/10 sec min". This minimizes the shape of the ring, but cannot remove it.

Thank you

I've never had those tinting issues. Im using MGC_5.1.016_7.0-C2API_v.1.3c_AllinOne.apk version and so far so good. Only HDR+

EDIT: I am in stock firmware, maybe you guys are rooted and have custom rom installed to have those tinting problems.
