a Good GCAM with my settings for Mi 8 and Poco F1 - Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

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 That one is incredibly outdated and kind of buggy

Sorry, maybe foreign language problem, that is I'm glad it helps. :angel:

I use MGC_7.3.018_RPII_v0c.apk and work pretty fine celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1005/ ...
Changelog:
(From this telegram group for the Xiaomi Mi8, Mix 2S/3, Poco F1, Razer Phone 2.)
So i think BSG made it exactly for MI8 ...

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

Which burial version do you use?
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.

Yes, I don't like switching XML too. It's not practical

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:

And Uploaded the new video where I compared the Night mode vs Normal Gcam shots taken with Pocophone F1 only

No, it does not work, it is just hdr+ enanched on 8.1 oreo. Check bsg thread about camera.
You will discover that not every pie rom works out of the box, but just the latest miui roms since xiaomi allowed hal3.
It just seems you want to promote your yt channel.

Check latest pages of the GCAM thread. There are plenty working, but it takes like 1 min to take the picture with astrophotography mode.

I will share my favorites as well:
I prefer MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V7 and everything works flawlessly.
I have been using the Parrot builds for several months and its consistently great. The Poco doesn't have OIS, the Mi8 has a smaller 1.8 aperture, ( vs 2.0) The Mi8 has a dual LED flash, and a wider range of abilities with video recording. So with this mind, the Parrot builds officially support the Mi8, while Poco builds are obviously designed specifically for the Poco and they often omit functions that the mi8 can use.
I also like the On Fire builds ( made for Poco but keeps all options available for other phones.) and I also like GCam_7.0.009_MiIXSE.RPII.MiVIII_V1
I recommend using the Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye version with my settings.

can someone pls make a gcam app quickly

I've been using the normal inbuilt moto camera.... it's quite good with many features but I want to check the full potential of the camera with a gcam.it has camera2 support in my knowledge.
Please comment on the photo quality.

All 4 cameras can work only if a gcam build is made specifically for this device. (But it's very unlikely all 4 lenses, specially the depth, to work well even so)
You can, though, have wide angle support when newer versions of gcam becomes available, as the newer pixels have wide-angle lenses.
I'd suggest you to stick to the latest stable builds as available.

Firstly, you're off topic with your display issues.
Secondly, it's the one fusion+ thread and not the g7.
Thirdly, how does "white dots on orange yellow surface" have to do anything with image persistence?
And lastly, gcam's image processing tends to have some colour artifacts, specially if it isn't built for the device on which you're using it on (more so if HDR+ is on). What you're talking about is probably the result of the same.
Please be on the proper thread and on topic next time

Thank you for helping me?. I totally forgotten that Gcam apk is from Pixel phones, and only newer Pixel XL phones have had 3 or 4 cameras dumb me xD.
I found some configuration file for my phone, and apply to Gcam from developer Nicki.
Maybe its reason because fusion plus is a newer phone and no developer is working for now, maybe in future will be supported. But for now offical update is far away. I hope that Android 11 will fix this software issue because it has great potential in camera hardware.

There's no version of GCam available specifically for the device. As of now, there's a version based on Google Camera 7.2 for the pixel devices, which works fine on the one fusion+ (that's what I'm using atleast, do note video recording on the back camera seems broken in this version). You can get it from the main thread here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/google-camera-mods/gcam-google-pixel-1-2-3-t3875663
Also, there are other ports by other Devs. If you're interested check those out and see if it suits your needs.

I want gcam

Astrophotography on MIUI 12.0.3

Got this from Reddit thread.
The camera on MIUI 12 has a pro mode. If you set the shutter speed (S) to max (32) and ISO to max (3200) , you can take decent picture of night sky. I think it's as better as Gcam if not more.
Hope it works.
What version of gcam you use? I'm using the parrot043 7.4-v3 works very well and gives awesome pics in astro

I used to use urynx Gcam on miui11, but now on miui12, the default camera works so good that I don't use Gcam anymore. I could be wrong but last I checked Gcam still had limitation of 12MP, because pixel phones have 12MP or something.
Yet still Gcam by Urnix makes better photos cause of Google AWB and due taking many shots while in astrophotography mode. And the stars are a bit more detailed I think

12MP is the raw image provided by the camera2Api,
48 image resolution using pixel binning by combining 2x2 (4) pixels.

You don't need config for astro, just activate it...

Where is the M31 that I don't see?
I have a normal Note 8 ((M1908C3JG) I wait miui 12, I have miui11, for test astrophotography.
a little bit of photoshop express to remove the sunshine that turn the pic so much "blue" haha, sorry by my english... I know its bad
These lens don't have enough light gathering abilities due their small size.
Cooling the phone down to a cooler temperature will reduce the noise floor level of the cmos sensor though.
Don't have the mui 12 astrophotography mode yet?
I was looking at the camera options and I didn't see any trace of this astrophotography option, I think it was a Mi 11 and a Redmi Note 10. Does anyone know why?

Just read the OP. This is no specific astrophotography mode, just the Pro mode with some settings:
The camera on MIUI 12 has a pro mode. If you set the shutter speed (S) to max (32) and ISO to max (3200) , you can take decent picture of night sky. I think it's as better as Gcam if not more.

Thanks. I thought the camera application had a dedicated mode.

Question Will the nord 2 get gcam support?

Im just curious if nord 2 will support gcam and whether developers will port it because of the mediatek chip. I'm planning to buy one and i really wish to have gcam. Any answers will be helpful.
No.
Edit 2022-02-11:
- MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix (GCam 8.1)
----
The only "well" supported Mediatek phone is the Redmi Note 8 Pro and you need root to fix the viewfinder lag... it's just not a good experience.
If you want to use GCam, buy a phone with Snapdragon.
Guys plz check in apps section. I found one working gcam.
I briefly had the Realme GT Neo/X7 Max 5G, which has the same MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip as the Nord 2. I found that the mods by Nikita and Wichaya worked well. I hope that helps.
It works well indeed, but it's not better than the original app for now

Ok I tried a bit more with different APK and https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/ BSG version work very well. The details are quite similar to the default app, but colors are slightly better, HDR is way better also in Gcam

Can you link the version and config you used? I'm having troubles with BSG, but the Wichaya mod works fine for me (albeit with some annoying viewfinder lag).

I'm waiting for someone to provide the exact config they've used too, it's too confusing just providing the link to the BSG versions without specifying

I'm using Nord 2 for a month and yes it does support GCam and it gives more natural colored photos compared to the stock one plus Nord 2 camera.
Here's the link to download GCam V8.1,
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix

I got this working pretty good on my Indian Nord 2. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl55/
Need time to compare the stock and this Gcam. Not using configs as the camera won't work after loading it. More testing to be done...
Hey there!
I just recently bought it and i am trying to configure everything perfectly
Do you guys have any advice besides the switch from stock to gcam app?
and in this Regard:
OnePlus restores support for Google Camera mods in new OxygenOS update
Slowly fixing the hot mess
www.androidpolice.com
-> Does someone know if I NEED a ROM/Root because of the update?
Or what else could I do to prevent it?
I dont really want to risk/do a root honestly.....
Thanks for the help!
There are many versions of Gcam even without viewfinder lag who works perfectly (no wide cam tho but it's bad anyway), with configs etc, the details and quality are better than the stock app. Check the Nord 2 group on Telegram https://t.me/Oneplusnord2Gcam (I'm on a 8.3 or 8.4 version of Gcam it's great, slightly noisy but waaaay less artefacts and better overall quality than stock, especially when you zoom)
