Really marvellous. GCAM is really the gamechanger for the Z2 Photography at least. thankfully all the features are native supported. A big thanks to Zuk too for their sources

I am no good photographer and really casual at such sort. Here are a few recent pics I got on my zuk.

The pics look better as original. These are Google's compressed versions as I am a flashaholic and clean everything. ?

Dont use stock photo app...it has very strong Noise reduction at night and bad postprocessing... At day, it sometimes doesnt focus properly on objects... With ProShot,you may see more noise on photos, but more details too.
Grass and trees are bad for photography for any smartphone, because they move.

Some issues with GCam on Zenfone Max pro M1

GCam is working fine most of the times. I am using the latest recommended version V5.1 that requires no set up. Images are great albeit quite some noise, however my main issue is with evening shots like taking sunsets,the lower left corner exhibits ugly pink noisey vignetting and the whole image has a slight pink hue to it. I have enabled the toggle in the settings to fix this pink hue issue but it still persists. Please help me fix this. May be recommend another version.

Hi, I flashed pico Gapps and HDR mode doesn't work. Taking pictures goes well. How to resolve this problem?
And It works at HavocOS 26.11.18 ROM. From some verison and up, it doesn't work- no update works. It is on different custom ROMS too. How to fix it?
I'm using V8.3build of GCAM. :/

Idk. But the pixel 3 mod usually have sizes around 100mb ig. what u r talking about includes ports such as pixel 2 mod. This one also has more features maybe thats y it has bigger size. Anyway always check it before u try and always try at your own risk.

Google camera is working fine.
Please find the below version to download.
Download and enjoy.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.2.030_RazerPhone2_V5.apk
Alternatively, feel free to use Realme 3 Pro's GCam apk
R3ProMGC_6.1.021_F1_V1.7.apk
Works Flawlessly after tweaking a couple of settings.
It's showing error 404 with link

If you are looking for working GCam
Here i found one
https://www.ytechb.com/download-google-camera-6-2-for-realme-xt/
Thanks OP, I will check it out.
So I found this version. Its for some Xiaomi phones but works fine on XT
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/F1v9.5_6.2.030.apk
Just don't turn on anything (you can play with settings and see if it works or not)
and slo mo not working its very laggy
Use pixel 3a on back camera
and nexus 6p on front
In saturation settings you can use 2.4 and 1.6 on back and 1.0 and 1.0 on front (you can play with these settings and let me know which saturation settings is best)
You can post any link of working gcam also!
Thank you!
I suggest you to post this on official XT forums as they just opened that..

What about the picture clarity
javed1 said:

Click to expand...

Picture quality is mixed bag. GCam takes pictures in natural color unlike stock cam which is very saturated. GCam is bit slow.
Sharpness is comparable. I haven't tested night mode in GCam , but realme stock cam if you reduce little bit saturation is very good even in comparison with GCam.. of course this is my personal view... people can differ based on individual choices...

About camera quality

Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well.
I've been wondering if there is any way to switch from MIUI to another room but retaining the same camera quality, I've tried with LOS 16, Pixel experience and xiaomi.eu with the anx camera mod, they're all really awesome ROMs but I've noticed that the camera quality is a little bit worse in detail and color than the stock rom one at best.
I'll be thankful if anyone could guide me in this subject.
Thank you for your time. Cheers.
Why don't you try a camera app with full manual controls?
Like Snap Camera HDR, it's awesome & takes great pics.

I've tried but can't get any more detail/quality than it has, most of them don't even let me use the 48mp camera. I've heard that it has to do with the camera libraries that aren't open source or something like that. But I would like to know if there's any custom ROM that has the same quality as stock or if there's any way or something to be installed to get that. Or if I'm stuck with MIUI if I want camera performance.
Thank you for your patience, I don't really understand these matters but I'm looking forward to learn by asking.

Yes, as I said in the first post, I already tried using anx camera but the detail in pictures somehow is not the same, I tested it side by side with a stock RN7 and a LOS16 RN7 both at the same time and there was a lot of detail lost. Maybe I did a bad flashing or something, I don't know, but this loss in detail is normal?
On a side note, is there a module or a zip or something that I can flash in order to make MIUI look more like stock? I don't like the inbuilt theming that it has, as it only reskins the system.
Thank you guys

They say google camera has more details than stock.
ichundwir said:
Hello, first ... The gcam versions are great and much better than the stock cam because much more details in the pic. Big thanks to the developer.
.
I tested nearly all..from 6.1 to now 7, from all modders
.
But i only see a different in the awb and sharpness up to the lib.
So ..for me.. there is no great different. 7. looks for me like the 6.3 versions (picquality)
.
I miss really a pro mode with manual iso and shuttertime.
.
That together works for me in no versions from all modders. Is there a chance to get it. Like in the stockcam?
.
What you think?

GCAM way better. Huge difference to Stock or ANX...
IMHO the trCam 7.2 Mod is the absolute best right now https://t.me/RedmiNote7Photography
Better than Parrot's or Arnova
Don't install modded gcam. They make the phone run slow, takes up memory even when it's not used. Mi camera isn't bad anymore, after all these updates.

which camera are you using?
I had BSG version on my phone until 2 days ago. I'm not really a camera guy, I don't need 2 cameras on my phone. So I uninstalled. Then I noticed increase in overall snappiness, more free memory, and less storage cache. Also, as I wrote, stock camera was poor in the beginning but now it's not that bad after all these updates.

Which is better - urnyx or parrot gcam?

Parrot doesn't seem to allow use of aux lenses, or have slow motion. So using Urnyx at present.
Use ultracam for better option which will have features of both parrot and urnyx. ?

Latest urnyx with megacam. Enough for me at least

burial for the better hdr+e selection and easy iso/time config. Urnyx for daily use, and testing ultracam.

U can always record with the front camera even on older versions with a simple trick :
Go to front camera mode (NOT VIDEO) and keep holding the shutter button it will turn red and start recording
Well I've realised why Urnyx video wasnt working - had it set to 60fps on a mi 9t. It can't do 4k60, only 4k30
