Hello guys! I wanna ask u for mod/update for cm13 for camera quality. Stock Touchwiz 4.4.4 have better photo and video quality than cm13. Why? Anybody can help me?
I wanna get good quality of my camera. (sorry for my bad eng.)
Hello everyone, I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Asus Zenfone Max Pro and installed Magisk to root the phone. All of this was done for just thing - Trying out the Google Camera as I do feel that the Stock Camera app is pathetic and that's the major reason why the Zenfone Max is not performing that great. For Google Camera to work, After you have rooted your phone, download this app called 'build.prop editor'. After it is downloaded search for 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled' The value would be 0 by default, Change it to 1 and then reboot your phone. Now install the Google Camera apk(Whichever you feel like, I'm attaching the one that I keep using) and you're good to go. Everything including HDR+, Front And Back portrait Mode, Video Stabilisation works.
Here is the complete video review along with Comparisons with the Redmi Note 5 Pro On Google Camera.
Thanks....google cam is definitely better.
How to root Zenfone max peo
Now that you have rooted are you able to use Tez ?
Wow man that looks far better!

hey brother, first big thanks to you for doing this.
yesterday i just ordered 3gb version of this and glad to find your google camera app review. i earlier saw your videos with max pro m1. i like the way you reviewed it, like a daily usage user unlike others who do monotonous review which gives the feel that the person did not even use it.
https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_max_pro_(m1)_zb601kl-9173.php
Anyways, my query is regarding google camera app on max pro m1 ?
1) In the specs, its given that phone supports 1080p/60fps recording. During its announcement it was mentioned that such feature will come ? Could you please check whether google camera app provides the same ?
2) And in the video you have mentioned with google camera app, support for EIS comes in ? Could you please elaborate more on that.
And part from this, please give your general view with new updates how much is the Fingerprint sensor and Faceunlock is making life better or worse as most says because of its slow speed?
Cheers,
Arnold
Any apk for unrooted device? All can't root the device, as it has risk of making phone dead.
What happens to the Battery life and futures OTA updates !?
Thanks for the post
Indeed am looking forward to root my asus max pro m1 and install google camera
But Need to know how it affects the battery life and Future OTA updates that the Phone is likely to receive.
Looking forward for an answer !
Cheers and Peace!

It doesn't affect the battery life and apparently OTA Updates will work with Redwolf Recovery. I haven't tested it since there is no new update to test with

I haven't found anything for unrooted phones. Rooting won't make your phone dead. There are ample amount of guides here on xda which are very simple.

I couldn't see 60fps option but I will try some other google camera apk and reverify. About EIS, yes it works with Google Camera. Sometimes you get some artifacts on the left/right edge but overall the footage seems a lot smoother. I still find fingerprint sensor to be slower and face unlock is a hit or miss. I'd say it works 70% of the times. Struggles sometimes in indoor or dim lighting conditions.
i just use Oneplus Camera, i think its still better than Google Camera. Go find it at apkmirror.

Hi,
A very special thanks to B-S-G for making pixel 3 camera port for Poco F1 and
Also Sreekant(XDA senior Member) for letting us know and for links.
Google camera 6.1 is just a beast
When I took some night/low light shots from both gcam6.1 and Poco F1's stock camera I really shocked how good the night mode is.
And I'm also a small growing YouTuber so pls Checkout my channel,that would be too helpful and I really do appreciate it.

Yep. Front camera is where you can notice how bad Stock camera struggles with light exposure. Whereas there's no problem on Gcam.
Please check attached photos, clearly MI 6 wins, even without Gcam. Stock camera HDR on Poco is useless unfortunately

Gotta try this one.
Has anyone compared the video quality on both cameras? Which one is the go?
Impressive,really do good job in low light.
Sorry but... Dont know why you All are so happy with the Port. Its slow... Standard Pictures issue to take 2 or 3 seconds... After 3 shots the App halts. Yes the Image Quality is good but there is no WAY to Make serious images with IT...
Will this work on miui 10? I tried clicking pictures with this v6.1 but it was not working

You've probably not configured it probably
Excuse me? I haven’t configured it proberly?
Are you kiddin me ? Sorry I expected to use a camera app as it comes for the device... my fault. You`re right Next time i’m Gonna configure it correct before using it. Didn’t expect it was windows what we were talking about.
I’m fine if you tell me this app needs a pie rom for best usage and indeed i only tried it on Miui 10 beta so far - but on miui10 it sucks. As i installed in in more than one version.
Edit:
I don`t want to miscredit the developer of the app in general. I really appriciate his work here. I would love to use it really - but cant in daily usage. thats all i wanted to say.

How to enable mirror image on gcam?
In settings the front camera says 5 megapixels and can't be changed higher than that. Are the photos in 5 megapixels or is it just a visual bug.
Just received my Mi Note 10 today and thought I'd kick things off to try and find the best GCam app.
After looking around, I've found one that supports three of the rear cameras (main sensor, wide and 2x zoom).
The build is: Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-01h.apk
I'm a new user, so can't share the link, but it's available at: celsoazevedo.com
How are the results?
Crashes for me and the couple of pics I did take were not as good as the stock camera. The first pic is gcam no night mode, the second is stock camera no night mode, no flash. It was 9pm last night dark with no street lights
I'm seeing mixed performance as well. At first it seemed to be working okay, but it does crash occasionally for me.
Hopefully this gets the ball rolling in finding a good GCam app though. I'll scour for some more apks and will post if I find anything else to try.
finally someone asked the question !
i"ve been waiting patiently since the device came out and strange enough every one seemed happy 'bout the stock camera but we know xiaomi better than that it's a ****ty app
hope someone will get the gcam mod right
..stay strong..
Latest cstark27 gcam 7.2 seems to work rather well on Night Mode and even (forced) astrophotography, however the saturation is lower than normal (increasing to max value doesn't seem to have any effect).
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog856/
Thanks this one works on nigh mode but basic camera crash with no error or with resulution error if raw enabled,
anyone knows if any gcam works with the 108Mpx mode?

For the moment Nothing
Wait for S11
Wait for Galaxy S11, That phone is going to get a 108px sensor too .
And I think developers will then be more eager to develop for such high megapixel sensors such as the mi note 10..we just have to WAIT!
---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------
And also cuz S11's sensor might be the same sensor as in mi note 10 or a 2nd generation if the leaks are correct so I guess that the S11 port will 90% work on this phone and sensor
Would be nice to get an app that supports all of the cameras. I wonder what penta setup the S11 will have?

The fu24 build mentioned at the top is the only one so far that I found to output 27 MP photos from the main cam, as well as work with the ultrawide and 2x tele.
However, all gcam builds I tried so far have severe lack of saturation with the main cam. Even those that allow increasing the saturation.
Apk and source decompile stock cam
If anyone wants to try I can send you the apk and source code decompilled smali files of the Xiaomi Note 10 stock camera App, to look for the 108Mp codes to trigger the mode, since at camera api 2 the resolution is not there, PM since can't post links yet
I'm testing this gcam https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v1.4.apk
From the settings enabled the wide and tele cameras, then from the advanced settings go to library patchers and set the contrast to 2.0.
In my opinion they are good, later I attach a proofIf someone wants to test and maybe work on it, it would be a great start, among other things, it starts at 27 mp

Yeah taking the AWB fixes Satzration. Only Tele causes Crashes for me
Fellows I'm waiting still for my mi note 10 to arrive. However I've heard that this version from Dise could potentially work.
DMGC_7.2.016_ver.3.4.apk, from celsoazevedo website... not allowed to post links yet
It's based on 7.2 and should also run on Android 9+. You might give it a try.

That's bad looks like a developer needs to build something more customized for the mi note 10.
Hello friends,
I have a pocophone f1. Almost all hardware features are the same as the Mi 8 except Mi 8's OIS feature.
For me and according to the test results of xda users using Mi 8, this is the best GCam 7.x versions for now.
I want Mi 8 users to try this GCam with my settings and I hope I can deserve a Thanks. :good:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/themes/gcam-settings-poco-f1-t4054881
I found out that the best version is MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.apk with the recommended settings but BSG stopped releasing builds for the Mi8. That one is incredibly outdated and kind of buggy

Me and some mi 8 users tested as you said BSG version and other modders versions. The best so far is the Parrot's gcam 7.0.009 final goodbye version that I have given at the top link.
I hope that Poco f1 active developer BSG, who I appreciate and respect, will make more better on updated GCam versions.
Thanks.
Thread Updated on 11.03.2020 for another good GCam. Thanks to onFire and @cstark27
You can also install and use two Gcams at the same time.
on 22-03-2020, I have tested latest parrot's gcam I have been waiting for a long time to working in pocophone f1 and mi 8.
Also last fewdays I have tested latest gcam versions san1ty, onfire, the_dise, pitbull, marlin-ku, urnyx05, burial and jairo_rossi too.
Unfortunately, Still picture quality of two gcams I have shared above beat all new 7.x gcam versions.
I use the Burial version that may be the only one that you have not try?. It works almost perfect. The only thing that I think that doesn't work is the eis or oiS on video.
Astro, amazing
Light painting option, amazing too
Video with both cameras (wide and tele with no estabilización)
HDR and hdr+ amazing again
Portrait, ok
Lots of options
...
Almost perfect on mi8 with last oficial firmware
I use and test burial's many and last versions too. Also i have special config for burial :
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...rs-gcam_7.2.010_burial-vb_release03.03.20.xml
With my settings (above .xml) burial's night shot is good BUT onfire's gcam that I share link and settings best and beat burial's and all until this time
Please try onfire's gcam with my settings, look photo details and sharpness on computer and then make your decision

I have tried GCam_7.2.010 Burial 14.03.20 and it crashes at first boot on Los17.
I tested both GCam_7.2.010_Burial-vB_release03.03.20 and GCam_7.2.010_Burial-vC_release14.03.20
My opinion onFire's gcam is still best with my settings. :good:

Hello! Try this one for Poco;
I have already tested UltraCVM_v4 and PixelCam_7.3_V5.0 gcams.
I don't like using separate setting or XML for different modes. So I am doing my tests as a single setting or XML. For example, with PixelCam_7.3_V5.0, I think I caught a good setting in night mode, but with the same settings, the day mode is shooting badly.
There is still no gcam to replace the onFire and parrot gcams I have used so far.

Important Update :
On parrot's gcam for less grain and sharp photos change this settings :
Settings --> Advanced --> Binary settings libraries -- > ISO limit : 500(ISO200)
(my full settings on first page for new users)
I think after that in most cases my first choice will be parrot gcam.
This is incredible for me, indeed.

Hello there,
is there any possibility to use the zoom lens on Mi8?
Hi @xda-dvlprs, thread is being closed as an existing GCam thread already exists. Having multiple threads for the one mod is not productive. Kindly continue the discussion in the following thread:
