Has anybody found a decent GCAM that works on Exynos yet?
I am close to cutting my losses and selling my S20+ as I just cannot trust the camera but a decent GCAM could well save the day.
Sorry to say I don't think you'll have much look there. I tried all sorts of APKs that people previously tried on the S10 for example or Note10 but they didn't work, the best I got was a super old version of Gcam with no hdr+ or night sight and it would lock up after entering the menu. I saw some people on some of the S10 forums saying they'd had a little more success with an APK linked in the description of a YouTube video, but it was being hosted on a random individuals site different to everywhere I've got APKs from before so didn't trust it wasn't malware.

if you had snap dragon yea some good gcams but not for the **** they put in exynos versions
Anybody else tried GCAM go yet? It is of course main camera only but I have tried it briefly and it feels better than the stock S20 camera app.

ZGCAM works perfectly (Exynos S20 Ultra owner)
It’s not a v7 port so you won’t get astro mode etc but night cam works etc

Front camera photo is greenish
I cant find gcam for s20 plus exynos plz help
Plz help
ZGCAM works. It is only 6.2 but it works and to my eye is better than stock on the Ultra, at least in mixed light it is.
Cant find gcam on your site
help me
ZGCAM can be found here https://koopahtmaniac.com/getLatest.php
It works really well on my Exynos Ultra. Installing hacked apks does make me slightly nervous still but I scanned it on virus total and meta defender pre-install and also ran bitdefender and Malware bytes for the first few days so I think ZGCAM is ok!
What would be really good now is if someone came up with a decent 7.2 or 7.3 version!

and what .xml are you using?
This is the one I was given by another member on here. Other than maybe very slight underexposing sometimes (maybe half a stop) the results are way better than the stock app. Samsuing really should hang their head in shame. Couple of examples attached taken a minute of so apart 1 is Gcam and the other stock on the ultra.
What would be really good would be a working 7.2 on Exynos
Does the xml also work for the normal S20 (Exynos) / Does anybode have an xml for the S20?
Zgcam only work on exynos s20?

I always hear how the app can make a huge difference to a camera's quality, and that the google camera isn't the best (I might be wrong). Does anyone know of a better alternative? Thanks :laugh:

You might consider trying the modified CameraNext app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...eranextmod-t3086513/post60202401#post60202401
I quite like the stock OxygenOS camera app though. Good luck!
I'll give it a try thanks
Camera fv-5 (and cinema fv-5)is my all time favourite.
Stock Camera app is great to be honest. I quite like it.
Just use Camera 360....even has an awesome editor
Manual Camera is probably the most powerful

Hey, do you know if this CameraNext app has the "beauty mode" filter on for OPT ? It works on my OPO, just need to confirm for OPT.

It doesn't look like it has a beauty filter, however, in the settings it does have a skintone enhancement switch.
I was using CameraNext which a lot of users on XDA seem to recommend. But, I noticed that the sharpness on the photos was turned up too high. This is good at times, but I found that my photos came out looking a bit grainy for my liking. I then discovered a modification of that called Snapdragon Camera which I have been using and like the best so far. It also has an option to output to a RAW format though I haven't tested it yet.

The one I tried was v2 from here, which installs but doesn't work.
The one you've just linked to is OK on the OnePlus 2/Oxygen OS 2.1.1 but not everything works and, once it's FC'd once, data for the app needs clearing to get it to work again.

Interesting, I am on the same ROM and not had any FC yet. But, as I mentioned I haven't exhaustively tested it. On the basic settings I prefer the output over stock camera and cameranext and haven't had any crashes yet.
Is it true that an app can make all the difference for picture quality? How good is the stock camera app that Ph-1 comes with? I'm not photo expert, so there may be a go-to camera app that everyone uses but I don't know about so I'm stuck using the generic stock one.
Thanks.
Use Cstarks Google Cam port. Much better performance, IMHO

Cstark 3.6 is the one to start with IMHO. The others may or may not work
in low light the difference between the stock camera app IQ and one of the GCam ports (I use Arnova's V6) is quite noticeable, I use the stock app for monochrome shots, and the GCam port for everything else, as the IQ is just better.
I installed the very top/latest APK from that page (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk) on this PH-1 running Android P beta and photos look pretty great. I'm comparing it with the camera app that came with the beta, and it's much better. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, I tried the same and it is really great. Even with latest update, I was very disappointed with the burst mode of Stock Camera. Most of the shots came out blurry when taking moving objects like kids.
This one does a much better job. Pixel and One Plus 6 are very fast. They take 20 pics in 2 seconds. PH1 takes around 5-6 seconds.
I am yet to test anything else.
Every version of the gcam apk I have downloaded scans as malware. May be a false positive but is enough to keep me away.
I am wondering if any camera apps in the play store offer improvements?
@arsenal74 what are you scanning them with? Where are the dls from? Have you read the security statement on the site linked above?

I use Nvisio https://apkscan.nviso.be/ and also virus total. Scans as malware/pup
As is noted on the site. It's up to you but a pup is only highlighting something if you didn't put add it yourself.
Your scanner is full of Bull. I use Malwarebytes and no issues with gcam apks.
It is an online scanner that uses multiple services, for this file only 1 of the services flagged it as suspicious, go to the link above and try it on the apks that you have.
I have no idea what Babable PUP.HighConfidence means but it is enough for me to think twice about installing.
Read the security notice on the gcam APK website... That's exactly what it says!

I am using nova 3i for the last few months. But unfortunately I cant becoming satisfied with the camera performance. I am thinking weather it's a software issue or just my mind set up. Can any one suggest me a good camera application and it will be best if any one give the link of a Google camera port for me...... Thanks in advance..................

I found a port for another Huawei device that worked but to say the truth, I think that the Huawei cam was better but very marginally though. What aren't you satisfied with? I know bad lighting photos are crap same goes with port.. Can't locate it right now, will try later an link it.

Unsure what thread I got it from and I think I renamed it too but here is the apk linked below.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Aw2YZXgU9um3IYmySaow8PmZQzzM-OGo/view?usp=drivesdk
This is the GCAM from Pixel 4/4XL/4a ?
Well on my crusades of random youtube videos tonight custom of the pawn of video talking about g cam 7 and Astro photography. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in a newer g cam APK but I found one of the newest Google camera that works on our devices. My only suggestion to get rid of some green tint this to go into settings and change your viewfinder to the one beginning with YUV. Link posted to save y'all the trouble of going through the pop up process.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Download the first one. 7.2.010 it's by Xenius9
Also in advanced settings is where to turn on Astro photography. All modes seem to work, what I've listed is tweaks I've done. Hopefully I've helped someone upgrade their GCam because Lord knows I love to stay in top of things with what's probably the best camera app on Android ??? cheers. Any questions you have let's work it out together and he'll each other folks.
Update: I've discovered that this set up actually gives me the best images. No discoloration blotches or anything. They've all come out crisp, great toned and all.
This only works on pixel devices...what about rooted android(samsung) handsets!?

Well I did say I've only done it on a snapdragon since that's what I have.
After a bunch of tests I find that the stock camera is much better than this port. I don't see the need for the scam with this phone. But it does work well so I guess there's that

I'm using the one above and noticed every night shot is ungodly noisy. I don't remember older versions being this bad so it's probably a setting I'm missing or something, but it's unusable and I saw ISOs of 5000+.

Im using this version also (N9600). I have tested a couple gcam versions and this seems to be the best one yet.
16:9 is not working (not a big deal for me)
Astrophotography takes a regular Night Sight picture. (i really hope they fix this since I LOVE this feature)

Have there been any updates since this post?
I went here to track what updates have appeared: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/#apk1625
Downloaded this release which was published on June 20 2020 https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk
It seems to work just fine. I have some use cases where I've been missing my Pixel .
One thing I do find annoying about this gcam is that motion photos are on by default, both versions I've installed have been in that mode and I had to disable it.
Can anyone help me with working Gcam 7.3 for Samsung Note 9 Exynos Variant not rooted.
Tried couple of mods but not working at all. App crashes immediately after opening the App.
Thanks in Advance.
Running Android 10.
I have had no luck. A few packages have installed for me and opened, but the pictures it takes will only display as a gray screen. Most, like you, just crash.
The same problem here
The latest version from the zexynos Telegram group works well, way more natural looking results compared to stock cam. Install it, then create a Configs folder in the Gcam folder and put the xml file in there. Then open Gcam and double tap in black area below shutter button and then select the XML you put in the configs folder, tap restore. Then close Gcam, go to settings, apps, camera, force stop, clear cache, reopen GCam and you're good to go.

I just created a thread about finding a stable GCam 7.3 version by jairo_rossi. I'm on the Snapdragon variant of the Note9 though, but I'm not rooted.
The version isn't perfect but for most of what I need, it works well and is stable enough as a main camera app. See if it works for you.
