Gcam for oppo find x2 lite - OPPO Find X2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi everybody. I've tested many version of gcam for the find x2 lite and the only who work very well ( with HDR++ and night mode) is the last version of urnyx. Here https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk. i have changed the setting in the advanced parameters / library) shadows at 10 and hilights to 25. For the main camera i've changed sharpness to 1,25, noise reduc to 0,875 . Choose google white balance on the first menu and imx586 in parameters. Only main camera works. You can also use the opporeno2byFlo xml, in the list of configs. It's the same story. Flo7591

What advantages are there over the inbuilt cam ap ?

Gcam= more details, natural contrast and naturals colors (with good setting). Better HDR and exposition and night mode. Day and night. If gcam ports are so popular on so many smartphone , that is the reason. Maybe except for the premium and expensive phone ?

The apk works perfectly with the settings you suggested, thanks a lot!

I'am tryind this version, there a lot of setting that we can use:
https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V3.0.apk
but i have only this problem with a GOOGLE AWB in Automatic mode;
the skin of the person, with Google AWB, in Automatic, turns me yellow / orange. If I activate the GOOGLE AWB it becomes too "Cold". I change the to Pixel3 in Imx586 but never change. Is there any settings I can change? thanks

Yellow Skin .... in Auto GOOGLE AWB.
If you AWB ON or HDR+ PLUS .....the skin it's similar to naturale.
Anyone have some ideas to set up in AUTO , correctly? tnx

Now, the best Gcam I've tried for Find X2 Lite is:
MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0i_libs (BSG, 23/02/2021)
* I haven't tried the most recent version (27/02/21)
The AWB works fairly good, with hdr mode activated, essential to avoid noise
Also includes the ultra wide angle camera, which works correctly and improves the native camera
Unlike the native camera, the ultra-wide angle camera allows zooming
The front camera also improves a lot compared to the native
A trick: a double clicking anywhere on the screen goes from angular to 2x

With Android 11 the ultra wide angle camera doesn't work

Camera front
when taking a photo with the front camera it looks like blurry and ugly, even with the hdr + or without the. and the portrait mode looks fuzzy and purple or green
Thanks
This one is more snappier and more optimized than the previous GCam 5.1 i used
Slow motion doesn't work but I'm fine with that
Most of the fancy stuff like manual focus, HDR+, Portrait and Lens Blur does work
Edit: the Built-in camera app does have slow motion, so there's that

You're welcome.
It seems there isn't setting to change save location of the picture(or video).
It use internal memo, kinda need to save space.
Is there any method to change the save location ?
Works great. Thanks for the recommended settings. Much appreciated.

Working Gcam 6 with manual focus and long exposure!

Mar 12th, 2019
So it has been awhile since I tinker with Gcam, and now that I have finished the modding of it and no longer have my Mix 3, I will upload the final copy of Gcam. As usual thanks to everyone from defcomg, cstark27, san1tyy, xtreme, bsg, zoran.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rBUkxfz2IlG_0SGaTlJ2G6mL-16Bx8LY
Changelog:
-added corrected black level for most shots. Bl corrected for 1/30 shutter so you will have slight tint on slow shutter at extreme low light conditions.
-modified xlib2 to remove tint, and noise
-new menu and icons
Bugs:
-sometimes hdr+ enhanced at 40 frames or 36 frames will not save the first shot, but shot afterwards will save. Tried to find a fix but cannot so use lower frames for most stability, ie.. 25 or so.
Feb 7th, 2019
Update: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IKGyubiBrdqWVp_gQfmTLaA8HErtoyk7
-added lens blur mode courtesy of san1tyy to take picture of objects and animals
Recommended settings:
-Rear camera set to Pixel 3 XL
-Processing set to 2018 zslr hdr+
-set frames to 40 for min and max for best low light shot (will take some time to process), or set to 20 for both for quick shots
-hdr+ enhance and night sight set min iso compensation to 1/3 or 1/4 s for best shot, but hands have to be still as possible
-exposure compensation to +0.6
-chose Xlib for lib choice
So several have stated that shutter isn't working on global rom, and some other Mix flagship such as Mix 2/2S doesn't work so with help from san1tyy, metadata was cleaned up and should be working now
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hu9tm0ZSMI3F645rSr2wXq3HhMRP5DUp
Feb 4th, 2019
After bunch of trials and error, lib modding here and there, finally got a working stable version with some new changes with help from Zoran, Savitar, Xtreme, and San1tyy . Lib modding for awb using different calibrations from various devices would not play nice due to either unsaturated or nuclear saturation, especially from S9 series, so I just left it stock for now. Here's the new apk: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1scOaLD8_eeZEdlaR6q1lCXzUSLtb6miB
Changes:
-added compensation exposure
-new lib (Xlib) with sharpened decreased
-frames changed to 40 instead of 45 due to exif cache size error and won't save image
-qc color awb works finally without the yellow tint, thanks big time to Savitar
-UI changes
enjoy guys and donation are welcome so I can get more devices to work on. Paypal: [email protected]
The iso slider had an issue, and wouldn't capture. Also sabre and pixel 3 awb was not included so this version is updated to include it
https://drive.google.com/open?id=11ORyhdqIjFXNlZFsdfA0NDEW8auU3aNr
So sliders had some issue of not triggering for both iso and focus. After multiple test trials, san1tyy and defcomg pulled through again and got it working! APK is also cleaned up to only include Edzman v3, savitar v2, and stock google libs. Enjoy guys.

Make sure you are on the latest global beta from Xiaomi, or the latest beta from xiaomi.eu for camera not to lag in viewfinder and processing HDR+. This mod is based on BSG's latest version with working telephoto lens. Thanks to the great defcomg, xtreme and san1tyy over at telegram, here are the changes:
-added 45 frames, and 50 frames. The 50 frames will cause viewfinder to flicker like crazy but it does works.
-removed ISO limit of 9600 because stock camera can go up to 19000+ iso
-long exposure added for up to 32 seconds in hdr+ enhanced and night sight
-manual focus sliders and exposure sliders
Slo motion should work, motion photo do not work because of lib issue from xiaomi. For configs, use Pixel XL for rear camera, processing use 2018 zlsr+, front camera can use Pixel 3 XL. Using Pixel XL gives correct awb vs Pixel 3 XL which gives a true to life color at night time with low lighting (ie.. 5 to 10 lux).

use xiaomi.eu rom or beta chinese
I am on the official global rom 10.0.11.0
I'm on official global ROM as well and the view finder is incredibly laggy
global rom will do this, you need to be on global beta or xiaomi.eu rom or chinese beta rom
Any news on the global stable update?
I find the Xiaomi forums a pain to navigate otherwise would check myself heh.
Hi xterminater07, Thanks for your work! Its impressive! I use this version of gcam for my LG G6 and works great but I have some doubts about the 32s long exposure. Could you tell me what file inside the gcam package can I modify to try other configurations? I decompile the apk but I cant find where the parameters are for the amount of seconds depending on the lux. Thanks!!!
PD: Sorry for my bad english
All the lags and slowness disappeared after the latest global update (received the ota and updated an hour ago), now when I tried night Sight, taking multiple shots in a row etc etc there are no lags whatsoever anymore for me!
I was just about to flash the EU rom to fix the lags but no need anymore!

Does any one find that you have to tap twice on the camera button to take a pic? Very annoying
Thanks for this great port! Is it possible to implement the option that the portrait photos wont be saved in a separate folder? In the port for Pocophone it is...
Thank you again!
How do I enable the telephoto lens?
Sorry, just figured it out. Enable Aux camera in BSG settings, then double tap change camera icon (the one to change to front camera). It changes from back normal > front > back telephoto.

Does portrait mode work on your Mix 3? When i select portrait it zooms-in and only makes one photo while it says 'burst images'. When i disable zoom on portrait the only thing that seems to change is the zoom, but no acutal portrait shot. Well.. it seems the same as a normal photo

I noticed that it does not work for small objects, but works well with people. I guess the subject has to be far enough for portrait mode to actually work.
Regarding the telephoto lens, there seems to be no noise reduction applied to it, unlike the main lens. This results in very grainy photos especially during the night. Can you add noise reduction, or an option for it for both lenses in the settings? Thanks

Works fine for me, but only for actual portrait photography. It can't recognise objects.

have you tried clicking on the resulting image, if you open it, you will see a blurred one and the non-blurred editions.
so the resulting image is like a folder that when you open, it will have the blurred edition inside it.
Ive discovered that the newest Gcam port from the Pocophone thread also works on our Mix 3! It has more options like save in camera folder when taking portrait shots and so on... Everything works, is there any downside using it?

Working GCAM for Snapdragon w/ Telephoto!

UPDATE: I haven't really followed this thread since I don't have an S10 anymore, however, just a heads up telephoto now works with the Snapdragon S10/Note 10 series and Gcam! Gcam can be downloaded in my S20 thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam-working-with-s20-ultra-telephoto.4200277/
Now with Wide Angle and Telephoto Camera Support!
All credits go to Arnova8G2, CStark, Fizwiz, Xenius9, Urnyx05
Benefits:
Gcam offers less aggressive noise reduction and oversharpening. Under daylight things might not look too different but it's a lot better for low light, especially for finer details like carpets, hair, fabric texture. I've attached some comparison shots. The file names will indicate which camera was used for the pictures.
Regarding 6.1 vs 6.2 vs 7.0 vs 7.2:
6.1 could be more stable and allows you to save profiles that you can swap between (for instance if you have a setting for indoor and outdoor). However 6.2 is faster, possibly better processing algorithms. 7.0 is faster still and even better algorithms. 7.0+ also ads astrophotography option which is night sight but even better! 7.2 works on Android 10 only and should improve upon 7.0.

Did you guys apply the XML file after copying it to where it needs to go? Detailed instructions here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
Followed the instructions and it seems to be working fine so far on my S10, although I haven't done extensive testing.
How do you switch between apertures? It doesn't seem obvious to me.
Any reason this wouldn't also work on a Snapdragon S10+? Thinking about giving it a try now...
---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------
Installed and verified basic functionality on my S10+. Took a couple of night sight pictures and they turned out good. Will do some more testing. Thanks for the information.
Update: I'm seeing issues when switching between different modes. For example, the picture freezes whenever I go into portrait mode. Other modes work sometimes, but display a black screen other times. The app doesn't freeze or crash, and if I switch to another mode then switch back, sometimes that resolves it.

To fix portrait mode freezing, go to Settings (top section, mod settings) -> Advanced -> FIX -> Viewfinder Format. Then select YUV-420_888 (default).
Very good. The viewfinder fix seems to have worked for portrait mode, and helped with all other modes as well.
Any other settings changes you would recommend making to optimize performance?
Which photo is from the stock cam vs gcam?
I took a few pics just now outside with default camera and then with Google night sight. Google cam pics definitely a little brighter, and much clearer, with more detail than the default cam. Quite pleased.
Got it to work thank you. Had to restart my phone, now everything works.
Snapdragon?
Yes i have the s10+ with snap

Night sight is phenomenal. To the point where I use it almost exclusively even in daylight on my Pixel 3. Can;t wait for S10 with gcam port.
How is the shutter delay using the gcam port on the S10? On LGs where I have used gcam, the ZSL would not work and that was the only downside.
When i took picture with night sight.my phone restart it sekf.
I envy you guys. I have got the exynos version and stock cam quality is ****. Miss my pixel 3.

I will check the shutter delay today when I have time. I've only used it for night shots as of now since that was the primary advantage it has over the samsung cam software. I know as of right now, this version doesn't support the wide angle lens, which means it's necessary to keep both sets of software. HOwever, I read in another thread (here or on reddit) that there is now a gcam version that works with JUST the wide angle lens. So hopefully they can combine these and give us a fully working port in the near future.
thanks i will try soon.
On the snap my stock cam sucks also. This google cam and open camera destroy it

Google Camera Port Info - Share your findings/photos!

I'm currently testing a Google Camera port on the ASUS ROG Phone 3. I am using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0_Wichaya_snapcam_V2.2 by Wichaya. Here are my observations so far with respect to compatibility:
id 0 = main camera 16 mp
id 1 = front camera 24 mp
id 2 = ultra wide camera 13 mp
id 3 = macro camera 5 mp
id 4 = main camera 64 mp raw
Observations:
All 4 lenses work, including the two rear auxiliary cameras (wide-angle and macro.) You have to go to Settings > Advanced > Auxiliary camera and enable them there.
64MP unbinned images can be captured, it's ID4. Aggressive denoising seems to remove a lot of detail. Play with the Luma denoise and Chroma denoise values in Settings > Advanced > Lib patcher.
HDR+ enhanced works with 64MP capture.
Max video recording is 4K60. 8K30 not available.
Slow motion crashes, so no 4K120 available.
Current issues:
No distortion correction for the wide-angle camera
Selfies are always 24MP, no pixel binning
I will get camera samples at a later date.
Thanks to Wichaya for their assistance!
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya v2.3
Based on Urnyx05's 7.3.018 v2.1. (Thanks Urnyx05)
- Optimize apk by uncompressed apk and clean up code (Thanks Arnova8G2)
- Added set auto exposure target frame rate range for viewfinder (works on some phone)
Download : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1281/
One thing that amaze me is a lot of high resolution stuff such as 64 mp, 8k video resolution and 4k slow motion are in id 4 instead of the usual id 0
The camera2 api is similar to Zenfone 6 and Rog Phone 2 but with separate ids for high resolution
Thanks Mishaal for testing :good:
How are the photos compared to the stock camera?
I would buy Asus ROG Phone 3, but the camera does not satisfy me 100%... so I'm much interested to GCAM "mod" Asus ROG Phone 3 results!
This one was captured by gcam urnyx modded for rog2 the xml configs also from rog2 , I'm using a normal lens with hdr+
Sorry I had to make another comment since my mobile data is so slow right now, same gcam same settings but this one is a night mode one.
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V2.5
Now no longer use specific package name for aux cameras thanks to new code
Package name : com.GoogleCamera.Wichaya
Based on GCam 7.3.018 Urnyx05 V2.1 (Thanks Urnyx05)
Changelog
- ? Aux cameras working on most phones without root apart from some exceptions. (Bug on Rog Phone 3 crash when switch lens from 64 mp mode to front camera. Change lens to main first before use front camera) Thanks a lot to Eszdman and Arnova8G2 for the code shared to me and others.
- Added OPPO and Experimental opmode (Thanks Arnova for the value)
- Adjusted some menus in the settings
- Press lib patcher icon bring to lib patcher menu, hold awb icon bring to awb menu, hold exposure button bring to exposure compensation menu (Thanks Overwhelmer)
- Added Gamma Curve, HDR Range Control and experimental lib patcher thanks to Julian Tsependa aka Tatchan for finding the address and Arnova8G2 for the new lib patcher
- Fixed black screen aux video mode on some devices
- Added new option to choose viewfinder buttons layout between old left side or top near the drop down menu
- Added no restart when no setting changes (Thanks Arnova for suggestion)
- Adjusted viewfinder buttons size based on screen dpi (Thanks Overwhelmer for suggestion)

I think the 60fps video recording is not 60. The video recording with stock camera is much much smoother. Can anybody confirm amd is there a solution?
Hey guys. Just checking in to see how the gcam is going for this device, is it a great improvement over the stock cam?
any working gcam ports??....mine force closing whenever i launched it luckily im not a camera enthusiast but having a working gcam port is assuring though....gonna have to wait few month more i assume
Gcam works good on rog
Using Posted GCam, and its definitely better than stock, but i do get issues with focus on GCam, it hunts. I expected the cam to be better on rog3, vs rog2, buts its not. ASUS needs to invest more time on its cams. They are pretty bad.
but then again.. this is a gaming phone. and they are investing more on the gaming features

That bird is a cormorant. It stood there with its wings like that for a while. It does it to dry its wings. Or so I've read online.
Thanks for this app. GCam works faster, when I take pictures at 64 MP with Asus cam app it is pretty slow. But GCam pictures quality is lesser than Asus app.

Gcam quality is lesser? WTF? Dont use 64 mp, thats the magic in Gcam, the pixel binning. Unfortunately the cam on the rog3 is very bad, and not much will fix it.

The cam is not that bad. I had no bad shot with this phone, it sure is less good than the note 10 + of my wife but nothing wrong with the cam while using Asus cam app. Can't say that about GCam that is even after modding it, optimized to use with Pixel phone.

Here are some more samples from stock cam and gcam. The stock cam pics are the ones on the left and top.

Question Camera: no auto HDR in pro mode?

It seems that when the stock camera is in pro mode it does not apply Auto HDR to the JPEG image, whether it is told to save the jpeg only or RAW+jpeg. Is that the intended behavior? I agree that the raw needs to be left alone but not applying Auto HDR to the jpeg is disappointing, to say the least, particularly since pro mode is the only place to tame the overly saturated color rendition of the stock camera app.
Unfortunately it's intended behavior.
You can try Good Lock Camera Assistant and disable Scene Optimizer to tame the contrast in default mode.

You already answered your question about missing HDR in Pro mode. HDR does over saturate the colors.
Samsung should be embarrassed about this camera. OP, did you find a way to reduce saturation without losing HDR?
I tried GCam but half of the functionality doesn't work on S23 at present and I want my camera to be easy/reliable.

I don't think that there is any.
You can go with camera mode, but the picture is overprocessed, and you cannot play with it much.
You can go with PRO mode, but you don't have HDR and therefore wide dynamic range.
You can go with ExpertRAW, but the processing of the pictures is somehow even worse than in the base camera app.
You can go with GCAM, but then you don't have access to greater resolution than 12 Mpix (as Samsung is not exposing API to 3rd party apps for 50Mpix and 200Mpix) and some of the features are not working that easily and video mode is limited (same reason as for 50/200 Mpix not available).

Incredible that such a large company can make such a bad camera aftr like 15 years in the game.

I agree. I use GCAM, but of course, it is not perfect. So many decisions in the camera department made by Samsung simply do not make sense to me...
The amazing thing is how bad the Fruit Cam has gotten too.
