Question GCam for Xperia 5 IV - Sony Xperia 5 IV

Can anyone have Google Camera for Xperia 5 IV? Please give me app and config file or something else.

I've poked around with it. The 8.1.101 release worked for a bit, but is no longer functional on my phone (crashes) and the app was pretty laggy when I tried. I'll probably revisit it at some point, but the basic mode in the built in app works well enough for most of my day-to-day use.

it's wast of time

I've been using MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b_ENG for last few weeks with the a config I found on reddit. I cannot find the op, so I've attched the file here.
For photos it's been working fine, no crashes for me. I'm on Android 13.

Can you share any photos that's taken with it? I'm really curious on how good Gcam works on a Xperia compared to the stock Sony camera apps - considering the photographic output style and approach that Sony is going for compared to both Apple, Google and Samsung.

[Discussion] Google Camera. Edit: working Google camera found.

I was wondering if there is a good working Google camera available for this device?
I didn't get any of the cameras from the repository to work except for a very primal port from Arnova. Still the image quality is better than the main cam.
Edit: found one.
Check for this one
cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.9test.apk
Edit 2: I use the following settings as attached. I use the hexagon dsp in the settings too, if that makes a difference.
I was unable to find it for my vivo nex. I installed number of different version from different developers.
Nothing worked.
Hope someone finds it or makes one.

Stark makes these ports specifically for LG devices with a "wide" angle dedicated camera. We don't have one. You installed the wide angle camera. Copy and search for the exact specific version that I mentioned.

Have been searching for the exact same thing. I even asked in the thread. Indian Vivo Nex units are not recognizing the path mentioned there. Couldn't get it to work. Hopefully someone figures out something.

One thing I found out is that in Indian version under DOWNLOADS there is a folder namely iTheme, inside it there is a hidden folder namely .Themes , but this folder only shows the cache data of iTheme app.

[8.1] [NEX S] [GLOBAL VERSION] Stable Working Google Camera with working Night Sight.

Friends,
I have been away from the Nex for many months and now have bought another Nex S (India) and tried some Google Camera ports. Found a super stable version. Everything works.
I have unfortunately not been able to remember exactly which dev made this apk, plus i've smallied and stringed some parts onto it for the Nex.
I am sharing a Google drive link for it along with the screenshot of the configuration that I use.
Hope it helps.
p.s. - If anyone comes to know the original .apk link of it, lemme know - i'd share it.
GOOGLE CAMERA
I tried to pull in and cheerypick the xml loader off some ports but unfortunately they're crashing so you'd have to punch in the configurations yourself.

Themes / Apps / Mods Google Camera for Redmi Note 10/Pro

Hello.
Let's hunt for the best Google Camera Mod for Redmi Note 10.
Hello everyone.
I tried many GCam's for Redmi Note 10 and none of them are working that good. The problem is if you install the latest Google Camera mod versions like 8.1 you aren't going to get any better results than stock camera.
I tried the below GCam and I somehow got what I wanted. Checkout if it works for you also but there's a catch. Video doesn't work and camera crashes for me and wait for few seconds and it will work again if it crashes.
I personally install Google Camera for photography that's why I don't care about video not working if you also don't care about it then go for it. It has far better processing than latest GCam's.
If you somehow figured it out how to solve video crash problem. Do share here and if there is any better option than this then share please.
Thanks..

GCam ports discussion
I tried a couple of Gcam ports and found that while I could take photos fine, the screen is blank when I attempt to record videos. Is there a port that works correctly? On a side note, how does one turn off beautification in the stock camera...

Question GCam Port to Xperia 1 iv?

Doss anyone know if GCam will be ported over to the Sony Xperia 1 iv?
I've been meaning to make a thread about this. I've been using MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b_ENG which works well for all rear sensors, including night sight, but the front sensor doesn't work and clipped highlights turn yellow or green. All other versions I've tried immediately crash on launch.

thank you. I will try it
I used the one for the III and it was really bad. Really bad. Also to note- distortion correction is off so there's that bad in between area between a fisheye and rectlinear. It needs work, but it appears the cameras are being activated. I just don't know what settings will make it look good and not hang and lock up.
hi @bountyman334 , I see a bunch of APK files in the link you provided ; MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b (ending with '_snap.apk', '_MCG.apk, '_ENG.apk' .. etc.) Do we need to install all of them ? or is there a single one that needs to be installed ?

Thank you!... yup, missed that earlier.. by the way, is a specific config file that is required for IV. I have yet to receive my xperia 1 IV (expected next wwek). I was just trying it on my OnePlus 10 pro - and I noticed that only 2 of the cameras are enabled. Was just wondering if it's a config issue.

yes config is kinda problem if you don't want or don't know how to add all lenses manually.
Usually config file is easiest way when somebody else is already taken care of settings that they are right.

Oh yeah. Didn't notice coz I rarely use the front camera. Thanks for the info.
Can anyone post a config file for the 1 IV? Or can I make one myself? If so is there a tutorial I can follow to make a custom config file?
I've come from reddit forums, where someone posted this thread for using the above apk on various Xperias mK 1&5's. Now, I have a 5 IV and although this is a 1 IV, is there are info on someone creating a config for 5 IV, or steps to cteate one? I've seen bountyman334 created one but he's awol at the moment, so cant ask him how. Thanks all.

Hi can you share the XML ? Thanks
So far the best one I tried is the one suggested here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/yn67un/_/j4lawr0
Still far from fully working, but promising at least, since most of what I tested just force closes.
The gcam above (look for the latest version) with and specific XML and lib (here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/configs-bsg-03/ ) for de 12T Pro seem to be the best option now
site
Hello, guys do you have problem with the Gcam and the xml file:
Arcide-8.7-for-Xiaomi-12T-Pro.xml with this lib: lib8.7_Arcide_2023-01-15.so
With MIUI upddate the gcam started to crash and its like the GCAM is loosing the setting file coz when its not crashing then photos looks terrible, even worst than stock cam.
I updated for the latest GCAM and imported the settings again and it didn't fix the problem.
If the latest version works for you guys can you do comparision photo stock vs gcam settings, maybe its the xml fault?
Sorry for my English, thank you in advance if anyone can help
Have a nice day.
dont use this gcam, its bad. Autofocus is missing half of the shots.
Just received my 12T Pro today. Installed LMC8.4_R18F1 from Hasli on it. Seems to work fine out of the box.
Still just testing stuff out. Man this standard camera is upping the colours a lot. I still have my Poco F2 Pro but that one is a bit less colourly. With the Gcam colours seem more natural.

Updated the phone out of the box to the latest MIUI (14.0.9) , Installed that cam as everyone sais that it crashes with Gcam.
And I also installed another Gcam to test .. it crashed so it is repeatable what someone said.
As per your question. No config loaded and it works semi perfectly. No crashes or whatever, Tried video, portret, all the camera lenses after switching them on in the settings. It all seems to work for now. (need to test more)
If I have time I will try to mess with the settings for a config, but time is not my friend at the moment.
I also use that Gcam on my Poco F2 Pro and it is generaly really good. With a bit to many things to play with actually.
Oww tried portrait with the selfie cam, a serious difference in the positive way.
At least my grass is not nuclear green now when taking a photo. They should really have some colour settings in the standard camera.
Seems like a good base to make some config files for.
edit: only thing I see so far is that panorama doesn't work
