Where did you find this version. Please - if someone mention a version - give links.
The name scheme is confusing enough.
As for me I see this list:
Working Gcam 8.1 for Samsung s10,s20,s21 exynos + WORKING NIGHT SIGHT + Playground AR Emoji.

You posted the link yourself already. All those links are just versions created by BSG of gCAM.
I would not use the beta ones if you want something for day to day use.
This is the latest available: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl69/
and if you have a look at the configs section for it under S20 you will find the recommendation to use ruler or scan3d.
Why is that ? Because on Samsungs stock rom only certain applications are allowed to access the camera stack. These applications are whitelisted for that. So in order to get around that issue BSG publishes different gCAM versions which use the names of whitelisted Samsung stock applications such as the "ruler".
However, in the end I did not find any config or gCAM version other than Zorans zgcam 6.1 which takes good quality pictures without distortions as described by you.
Even zgCAM 7.1 does not do the trick for me.

Ah, so for a LOS user all the apps are same, except the name (snap, ENG, ruler ...)? That makes sense.
I am at Zoran's 7.4 which works - except for the wide lens - this is not recognised. Does 6.1 does it better? To bad Zoran doesn't work on this any longer - at least no update for > 1year.
To be honest Iam not really satisfied with zgcam 7.4 either - Had the same distortion in the pictures e.g. if you take a picture of a light bulb you will see just pure yellowish spots where the light is the brightest. Switching off AWB does help a little.
In zgcam 6.1 I do not have that issue at all.
The wide lens works for me in 6.1 and 7.4 as well. Just the telephoto does not.
However for LOS 17.1 on my old S10 there was a modified "libexynoscamera3.so" available from zoran which enabled the telephoto lens as well. So all 3 back lenses were working. For LOS18.1 and the S20 I did not find any... unfortunately.
On Samsung phones, we need one of the *.samsung.* version to get access to all cameras. Otherwise Samsung will prevent the app from accessing the wide and zoom cameras. Thus these builds fake the official Samsung app signature. Pick one or the other, depending on whether you need one of the real app - there should be no difference.
Thanks, knowing that makes the huge number of ports a little smaller.
Going back to 6.1 might be an option, I will check. But as far as I know in the last years there was a lot of progress in software, so we will miss that. On the other hand, that is of course useless if newer versions are not working properly or generate other artifacts.
Probably I keep with OpenCam (which is fairly good) for "normal" light applications and used one of the gcam ports for low-light. I'll go on looking for pro/cons of versions - if I have time.
So please share your experience with me and all the others as I do.

May I ask which version do you use? Latest ZGCam 7.4 (3387) doesn't support configs (as far as I could see) and just normal lens. Beside that pictures are good. Wondering why AWB is off by default? Does it make any sense? And what does the "live HDR" means?
I am majorly confused.
What's all this MGM BGS and other acronyms?
I'm just looking for working version for S10e.
Downloaded the Gcam 7.4, but it's very outdated and doesn't even work with Messenger Lite (doesn't open).

There's several people working on GCam ports, BSG is one of them (and the first one that started to do such a port). MGC is the name of his modded app (MGC = Modded GCam).
I use the Samsung app. From time to time I try the new versions of BGS's GCam, but I find the Samsung app more robust and reliable.
Uh ok, but what are the entries starting with BGS over here? I am totally confused what is what.

I use the older ZCAM 7.4 which has settings for S10e.
You have to do your own test and report. Start with the stable versions...

I already wrote I use that.
It doesn't work properly for me.
Also it doesn't need any settings, if you mean the configs.

These names allow access to the additional cameras. Non-Samsung apps aren't allowed to use them.

About the S10e. The apk https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix_scan3d.apk works. It never crashes and recognizes all cameras.
But what haykweb says, 60fps doesn't work.
I've gone through everything. Many settings do nothing with the S10e. Does anyone know of an S10e up to date config.xml? If not, I'd like to try making one myself. Any tips?

S10+ I have a lack of fluidity on the camera, and a crash log is created when I play with the options to film (in download folder)
Hi all, is anyone here able to get the front cam working on s20+ ? I have tried almost all the versions of gcam, but not able to get it to work.
