Question modded gcam?

[liggerz87]

This version has manual mode and so on works for me UPDATE manual mode only works with HDR+

I've done some testing this morning. I've concluded at at this time the latest MGK 8.7 with custom config and so file are the best going forward. OpenCamera can control the shutter/iso but has no tracking and is a clunky interface.

BSG: MGC_8.7.250_A11_V15a

Download MGC_8.7.250_A11_V15a by BSG.

It is very hard to find and then download the latest config/so files, so I attach them here. This is for P7. I don't know if they work for P7P.

Did u try newest
Skyyking_8.7_v8f.so
P7_Skyyking_v9.xml

I do not use telegram, it's a closed-source messaging system created by and run by Russians.

If you have these files downloaded then you could share them here like everybody else does. As already one user said, everybody doesn't have telegram so it's better share files directly.

Erm are you sure about that?

Telegram Applications

Telegram apps are open source and support reproducible builds. Anyone can independently verify that Telegram apps you download…

telegram.org

There's several open source telegram forks on fdroid as well

Here is both xml for PXL 7 (P7_Skyyking..) and PXL 7 Pro (Skyyking..) and lib in folder

 

[snoopy29]

I tried the latest MGM 8.8 but still has issues, like tracking doesn't work.

Back on MGC_8.7.250_A11_V15a_ENG with those v9 files above. The only thing I can't figure out is where HDR has gone, there is an option to change the amount of frames but that is all, and otherwise it appears to be disabled.

does it have manual focus ? i only want that because in wide angle mode phone constantly goes in macro mode and focus on window insted of outside scene especially in train or plane

 

[snoopy29]

I've not seen a manual focusing mode on any though it supposedly exists. If you click where you want to focus and then long press the focus icon it will lock it.

glad i came back to check after all these months.

did some preliminary testing with https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl134/ and with the NoctureBSGforPixelV1.xml/lib8.7_Arcide_2023-02-12.so combo, which i preferred over Skyyking-8.7-v3.xml/Skyyking_8.7_v4.so.

now, important question: how do i get the camera to open when i double-tap the power button?

can you sum up the differences you find?

Does Gcam have an auto-flash option?

I could install to find out but it looks like it'll be 30 minutes of reading just to figure out what version to install.

Hello everybody, I recently bought a Pixel 7 precisely because I like the google camera capabilities a lot more than what the other manufacturers can achieve. However when I was reviewing the pictures I took on a trip I noticed that while I appreciated a lot of the processing that was done to the raw image It felt "overdone". Specifically it looks like the images are over-processed and the white balance feels not just changed but almost like there was a LUT applied. While the raw image was a bit too warm, soft and distorted the processed image felt like when you listen to a song where a person sings with autotune. The feeling that I had was that the image was starting from a very competent raw and ending up super overcooked.

To try to have more freedom I installed the BSG 8.7 with Skyking v4.so and v3.xml.
Now I'm not a noob when it comes to phtography but I admit that I feel lost when looking at the setting of the gcam mod. I was looking for someting like a sharpness slider to pull down or stuff like that but didn't find anything that remotely resembles that. Basically cannot understand what the vast majority of the settings do.

Can anybody please suggest an up to date guide on what each settings does? In the telegram group there are only a bunch of links and no real explanation/tutorial/discussion.

I tried to take a couple of pictures with the stock camera and the BSG with the config that I told you about and it seems that the BSG pumps up the shutter speed and ISO with the consequence of having a more noisy image so I guess that in order to actually achieve a better than stock result a person has to understand what each setting does in order to make educated decisions.

Nobody really knows what the skyking libraries do, and they are executables, produced by a Russian group that likes to keep itself on Telegram. I noticed no obvious difference using it.

I also find the images to be overly contrasty and it appears to be less to do with processing in the gcam app and more down to the middleware software inbetween the sensor and app. As far as I can tell the only bypass is to shoot raw.
