I have not deal with GCam7.0 yet. I have always considered rest. But I have not made up my mind.

Plz provide gcam for realme 5 pro with switchable camera it my kind request

I don't have realme 5 pro, You are so simple to ask.
which version is currently working properly for your phone (only the auxiliary lens is not supported), without these instructions, I can hardly help you.

Gcam for xiaomi Mi 9 SE with Miui 11 Android Q (xiaomi.eu weekly) ?

I do not know. You should ask in the M9 SE group or forum.

Nice, but why panorama/photosphere resolution is so low?

Please change to High, or make user adjustable.

Thanks

The current preset should be high resolution. can it be higher?I don't know

Hello, I have problem with photos in auto mode without HDR. When I'm trying to make a photo in gallery I have nothing. When making photos with HDR everything is ok. Is this a bug or some settings can change it?

Happens to me too, apart from this, this port is pretty much perfect.

Rear Camera Night Sight

@fu24 On Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-01p.apk, there is definitely something odd happening with Night Sight with my rear camera on the LG v20. (front selfie camera works great)
"Sometimes," it takes the picture, seems to be processing it, then the process just disappears. In these instances, the picture never actually gets processed. There is no camera app crash or anything. I just don't get the actual picture.

On MGC_6.1.021_V2e-fu24_Aux3way_4Lens-04h-dual.apk, it doesn't seem to have this same problem with Night Sight. The picture seem to process fairly reliably. However, the viewfinder "sometimes" doesn't show up on Night Sight. I have to toggle back and forth to finally get it to show.

I can't quite figure out what the difference is that's causing these issues. Do you think the Back Camera "Model" would affect this? (I've tried Nexus 6P, Pixel 2 XL, and Pixel 3 XL base)

Thank you for all the hard work!

@fu24 Thank you for all the hard work!!

I believe there is a bug at least from MGC_6.1.021_V2e-fu24_Aux3way_4Lens-04h-dual. My Asus ZenFone 3 ZE520KL supports 16.3 MP (4:3) and it works perfectly except when HDR+ is turned off. Normally the camera produces a photo of 4656 x 3496 with HDR+ or HDR+ Enhanced. When HDR+ is turned off, a low resolution photo (1920 x 1440) is taken instead. There is no problem if other resolutions are used, such as 8 MP (4:3, 3264 x 2448). I imagine if HDR+ is able to work, it should also work when HDR+ is off.

I'm using Android 8.0.0 stock ROM without root.

Even if the bug cannot be fixed, if there is any way to support your project (say buying you a coffee or supporting a nonprofit), please let me know!

These issues didn't happen on my phone. And I don't know the location of the code affecting these issues. So I may not be able to improve it.

This problem is a consequence of enabling real resolution. You can disable it.

Thank you for wanting to support me.
I have a stable job. I don't need it. Accepting any donation can be stressful. I don't want to be influenced by anyone


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the problems caused by turning off HDR. I do n’t want to find a solution. For me, the photos taken by turning off HDR. The quality is worse than that of a stock camera. I ca n’t find any reason to use it

Thanks man, this version is absolutely outstanding
The mentioned issue, about no photo taken whenever HDR+ is set to off seems to be resolved (latest version is behaving perfectly on my Xiaomi Mi 6)
Everything else appear to be working perfectly too.

Hello @fu24,
First at all I want to congratulate you for creating the best version of Gcam that exists. The Eszdman V4S library gives the best image quality I have ever seen. Since summer I have been using your latest versions for my Xiaomi Mi9 and Mi9T. Since November the Mi9 was updated to Android 10 Q after take photo the notification of "Processing HDR +" appears permanent (Need to kill the app process) and make other bugs related, like drain battery because the processing loop. If I deactivate the HDR + Option the same thing happens in your last version, besides the photo does not give so much quality. The Mi9T also get Xiaomi Miui 11 but still under Android 9 Pie and works without this problem.
Can the app be adapted to the new Android OS? I think that some other moder like Marco with her 6.1 does not give that problem for Android 10, but your version is unmatched!
If there is a possibility to correct it? The new GCam 7.2 of Parrot and Urnyx that are the most advanced, does not even give the same quality and outstanding HDR & Sharpness.

Hello sorry, I have a problem with this version. Why does this gcam always force close after it's set? Maybe there is a solution to this problem. Thanks.

I have asked another developer why this is the case.
He said it was because of an unofficial package name.
I will add another version using the original package name to correspond.
But if I use the original package name. You must Root and modify the AUX whitelist to use the auxiliary lens.

I will try to modify the zoomfix module to correspond to Android 10. But someone needs to be willing to test.

you just write the problem so easily. No log is provided.
Even if there is a log. I may not be able to solve the problem. Because I am a novice.
Sorry I can't help you. I don't have this problem.

Thank you for update!
No more annoying notification on Android 10 and also it takes photo with HDR disabled.

 

[PhantomAndroid]

Thanks @fu24 for the new version! (Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02.apk) It's working pretty well so far! Definitely appreciate the shortcuts for selfies/portraits being fixed.
One thing I have noticed (which probably existed on older versions) is that "zooming" doesn't work with HDR+ (it does work with HDR+ enhanced though). When I take pictures zoomed in with HDR+, it just gives me a picture without any zoom-in at all. Can you please let me know if you experience the same problem?

My settings for LG v20.
1. Hexagon DSP not disabled
2. Hexagon DSP (unknown devices) - turned on
3. Sabre - auto
4. Base: Pixel 2018 Zsl Hdr+, back: pixel 3xl, front: pixel3xl

@fu24 , I think I've figured out what may be causing the issue with "zoom" and "night sight"
It seems to be related to the way Sabre is handled. I realized this because Sabre can be pretty random (leading to random crashes), and it's currently on "auto".
When I have Sabre on "yes", Night Sight with the back camera seems to work pretty consistently, and the zoom seems to work. (Pictures seem to take longer though)
Unfortunately, this seems to break Night Sight on the front camera. (it crashes the app, or makes night sight on the front camera not work properly)
It seems that I can't win with the Sabre setting, haha.
