Is there a way to make AGC remember the name of the last loaded config? LMC displays it, but AGC just shows green check mark next to whatever the first profile saved wasNiCkAM8PRO V2.4 (AGC V9.5 GCam) Custom Pack (APK + Profile): https://gofile.io/d/yeTKlN
[ RE-UPLOADED to V2.4.1, fixed a bug when using Zoom 10x being too dark... ]
Changelog:
New 'profiles' added for all lenses, back & front! Now, users can choose (by pressing the top-right icon on the viewfinder) between "Authentic", "Black & White", Sepia" or "Bright", each with their own characteristics. They can even be combined with the included "Leica" profile for added vignetting and some slightly different colors & white balance. Details-to-Noise ratio was also slightly improved for all lenses and several corrections were made to the already existing profiles, for all lenses.
1) Download the above .zip file to your device 'Download' folder and extract it in this folder.
2) Install the APK file.
3) Start the app and make sure you grant all needed permissions for it to work correctly.
4) Open the Quick Settings panel, then 'Load Configs', select my profile and have fun!
/// Preferably enable 'HDR+Enhanced' photo mode for Selfies under low-light, for cleaner shots \\\
For close-up shots (but not only), you might getter better results if you manually focus on the brightest zone of your subject, as it will usually ensure better overall contrasts, gamma levels and less clipped highlights.
For higher-quality / less noisy results in low-light shots, you can adjust the shutter speed slider, on the left side of the viewfinder, to 1/15 or even 1/8s of a second (just remember to remain still for a second or two).
You can also try the "Leica Filter" mode if you fancy some different color temperature / white balance and vignetting in your shots.
Cheers!

Just a quick comparison, interior shot under semi-low light (it's night time here, sorry haha), between Samsung stock app and AGC V2.4.1 ("Authentic" mode), using 10x Zoom lens.

@JavaSabr posted instructions how to use Photosphere with LMC a while back. It is kludgy but it works.
Nope, app obviously only offers a list of profiles based on their date of creation. The oldest profiles will always come first, the more recent at the bottom of the list, and I see no way of changing it in any part of the app settings.
Let me clarify my question. LMC shows the currently active profile as the menu header. LMC just puts a green checkmark next to the oldest profile. Feels like the intent for the green checkmark is to highlight the active profile. I regularly juggle between your XML and my own and it would be nice to always be able to tell which one is active
Got it. Well, I don't think there is a way to have this info displayed, but you can easily tell from the sliders on the left side of the viewfinder that you might have removed from your own xml
The first thing I do on your config is get rid of the slides, enable GPS tagging, limit zoom to 4x, and change grid to 3x3... which makes it superficially like mine. With the newer XMLs I can look at the patch names in the quick settings I guessGot it.

Hi,
I'm new to Gcam and I've some questions. I've installed javas v50 xml on S23U:
- What are the PRO button?
- What are the 3D camera selector? (instant crash)
- What are the gear selector at the right of the settings? It's a toggle, but I don't get what it does
- And finally, the AWB button it's Google's AWB or....?
Thanks a lot!

So I've been playing with JavaSabr's config file.
Tips:
- Go to Photo Processing and Disable Lib Patcher
I've noticed that leaving processing on that for some reason some of the values are not at the default values (no idea why) and will affect the photos.
I've compared this to using LMC with Matteo22D's custom lib and S23ultramc.xml and the results from this config and custom lib have such a natural DSLR look that I can't get with JavaSavbr's xml file alone with the default Google lib.
Has anyone else a similar experience?

Or where can i try and experiment some version? I haven't dealt with gcam in the last years, so I'm bit out dated EDIT: I RECOMMEND FOLLOWING THIS POST TO INSTALL PROPER GCAM Post in thread 'Working GCAM for S23 Ultra'...

My apologies, I will do another clean install and test again.No any sense from my config without enabled libpatcher
To confirm selecting pro mode disables the ISO limit?

Lib patcher modifies values in the currently loaded lib (Google's in Java's config). If you disable lib patcher, you simply are using Google's defaults. When you instead use matteo, you're doing the same thing as what Java does when he modifies all the lib patcher settings, it's just that all customization is hidden in that custom lib.
But if you did import and activated matteo on all lenses then yeah, you definitely don't want to use Java lib patcher settings as they will modify matteo lib settings and give a different result. At this point, you're basically using matteo's "XML" from a camera tuning perspective.
You saw my latest pic with his config, if you don't achieve such results, might be worth uninstalling lmc, delete the whole lmc 8.4 root folder and start from scratch to make sure you're testing lmc the exact way Java configured it.
NiCkAM8PRO V2.5 (AGC V9.5 GCam) Custom Pack (APK + Profile): https://gofile.io/d/Aiphia 
Changelog:
4 integrated profiles to play with, using the top-right icon on the viewfinder: "Authentic", "Black & White", Sepia" and "Bright", each with their own characteristics. They can even be combined with the included "Leica" profile for added vignetting and some slightly different colors & white balance. HDR+ and - values have been defaulted and White Levels were slightly re-adjusted, for improved results. Tele 10x fix when using HDR+ is also included. JPEG size is set to 97% for all lenses, after no significant improvement in IQ could be found when pixel-peeping between 97% and 99%.
1) Download the above .zip file to your device 'Download' folder and extract it in this folder.
2) Install the APK file.
3) Start the app and make sure you grant all needed permissions for it to work correctly.

I have taken many photos using v50_Sharp. Photos still seems to be a little bit dark in my opinion. Darkening the image looks good in very bright conditions. However, indoor shots with artificial lightning looks much darker than real life.
Unlike this config, stock likes to brighten up the image, resulting in reds that look like orange or pink in some conditions. Maybe it can be fixed with further updates.
For now, I will keep using v50_Sharp with some adjustments.

Did you enable the exposition compensation button (the icon to the right of the settings button). It adds 1.4 exposure to all lenses

It does not work perfectly. Tested that yesterday a bit, overall exposure is brighter, but it has some tendency to overexpose white areas to make it have no details at all, as the whole profile was rather optimized to the darker one.

12Some sample from my recent trip.
Probably is not the best photo quality on the market, but using the Gcam overall I'm very satisfied of the incredibile versatility.
Plus the device is all around the best you can find.
I did many test gcam 12mpx vs stock 50mpx and 200mpx, and i can say that most of the time high res stock is useless. Details are similar or even better with gcam at 12mpx.
