camera.enable_micro in developer settings affects the "motion photo" feature, which makes gcam work on some phones on Oreo.

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

If you could take portrait pics of objects, means that you were using the "lens blur" feature, which is replaced by the "portrait" feature on pixel 2017 setting. By the way, some recent gcam ports have both said features available in one setting.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] brighter7:
Thanks for the info. Yeah, disabling camera.enable_micro on Oreo update makes the camera app work again.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

Try unchecking camera.enable_micro. Had even worse stability by the app hanging and that unchecking that solved it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dbzgts:
Upgraded my note 8 exynos to oreo. Not having any issues with the gcam v8.2. Just make sure to clear data and cache and disable the camera.enable.micro in developer settings.

1st picture is from front camera and the 2nd one from rear camera. What do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] brighter7:
Looks good, any other settings touched?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] adesheddie:
I wasn't using lens blur, I was using portrait mode of ver 8.2 for both objects and humans. But now it is not blurring in case of objects, only humans.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlexOptimal:
I read a post on the Note 8 subreddit that some guy noticed that photos had less of a smoothing effect and appeared sharper. In addition to this he also mentioned the fact that the color on the images seamed more natural. Hopefully Samsung is moving in the right direction. I'll bring up he issues with the stock camera software next time I meet them, but that's probably not gonna happen until August.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] itsmeabhihere:
Using note 8 on oreo with above given settings but the exposures is off . Like in some pics its perfectly lit up ( mostly to 1st pic) & in some low exposure & high contrast. & too much noise ( before oreo i was using v3 as its has less confusing options & all things working , but after oreo it used just kill that phone & used to crash a lot . The details & the other things were lot stable & better in v3 )

Any solution.

Also after disabling that the camera works way fast .

kindly fix pictured save as previewed......
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koboltzz:
Most likely you already know that you have a huge fanbase (count me in :) ), but I want to thank you personally for your work. I have the same device like you, S7 exynos but already oreo installed.

I want to share my observations with your current 8.3beta.

As an S7 exynos oreo user you have the choice between:

1. Pixel 2017 ZSL (camera.enabe_micro disabled otherwise freeze) means:

Fast

pictures, of course with more details than samsung camera, better colors, but the less light you have the more noise you get. Even increasing 'HDR+ denoise multiplier back/front' won't protect you from taking quite awful pictures

at night

without flash.

or 2. Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto means:

Really slow

pictures, but reaaally excellent picture quality, even at night without flash (see below for settings).

I know you don't ask and you know a lot more about that than me but my advice would be:

Since I don't think it is easy or even possible to combine the advantage of 1. and 2. in one.... why don't let the app create both profiles shortcuts on app installation? A daylight (ZSL) and a night profile (HD+ Auto) app shortcut. That way we don't need to change it in settings everytime, quit the app and launch it again.

Also maybe you think about changing some default settings:

NonZSL HDR+ Auto-exposure mode: Slow shutter X2 (huge quality gain, bearable slow)

NonZSL HDR+ underexposure multilier: 0% (I still get the HDR effect, shadow/color bump, but rainbow effect is fixed otherwise I see it even at 25%)

HDR+ denoise muliplier back/front: 160% (After comparing 80 zoomed in shots (100% vs 160%), I don't see any loss in details but it helps with noise in ZSL mode and

dimly

light)

btw: Tuning back cam->Base model AND Metering mode, these two settings don't change the picture quality no matter what you set it in any light condition.

At all others: Keep in mind your experiences may differ if you use a S7 snapdragon/S8/S9/Note8 and the dev is using a S7 exynos and developing for S7 exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Francesco0301:
It works with Ambasadii ROM S8 Porting? Its a touchwiz.. thanks to all!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ukiz:
A solution commonly used at 4pda forums is to clone gcam app and configure your clones with different settings, this way you can have as many profiles as you need without any changes required on the app side.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fun4357:
Hey,May I know how's your setting for night shot?Instead of using Nexus HDR+,do you use Slow Shutter X2 and 0% underexposed multiplier?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
Why you do not use fast shutter speed in config nexus hdr auto, wearing it is similar to pixel config speed, to use tunning denoise is very influential on the rapid shutter speed. So I suggest when wearing nexus hdr auto use shutter speed

1 / 30-1 / 200 for low light setting tunning to 10 for all denoise low light..just like that my setup for 8.3beta good for low light or normal
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrchaien:
Dont know why but camera nx port have all both option in menu "lens lur" and "portrait" then easily to switch and apply for subject as well as people. Try to install camera nx on my device but fail.

May the reason due to camera nx only work for nexus and pixel devices?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bleak3993:
I have to degree a bit, I have experienced really great and with very low noise levels pictures in low light, when it comes to noise, it's always, it doesn't matter how much light it's in the picture, when dynamic range exceeds the exposure limits. Noise will always be more noticeable in low light, obviously, but the situation mentioned above it's when pictures get bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] waingro808:
Beta works on S7 snapdragon pretty well. Only issue is when checking image in built-in gallery, then pressing back button exits the app instead of returning to camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stunner7723:
why I am not getting full screen camera. It leaves half inches from bottom space as black
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
That black all lol..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bbsrailfan:
I came here to report the significant noise issue at night and came across your post. I decided to change to Nexus profile and I see the same observation too. Thanks for this tip, will definitely help me take a few better pics at night.
[MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] I would give a +1 to the suggestion from [MENTION=1441829]koboltzz[/MENTION]. If we can map the motion photos button (who uses it anyway?) to a profile change action and switch between day/night profiles, this would be just perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stunner7723:
that I do knowingly. Why the capture button is half inch above from bottom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
Change Screen resolution
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] devillucifer:
i do agree with the profiles save for different settings

it would be awesome if we have one. i have to use titaninum backup to switch between safe setting (keeper) and test build. (finding the sweet spot). I think u missed something on Tuning Back/front Cam >> it's definitely change picture quality.

I'm pretty sure u didn't turn on master switch after picking the model ? there're plenty of settings below too.

i'm still optimizing mine and ofc get much better result than the stock camera (even the modded one has no chance to win, unless it comes to super long shutter speed like +10 to 99secs).

Btw for v8.2 and v8.3b turn on Live HDR Samsung > this one will eliminated the Rainbow and add abit of noises but u can minimal it with good camera angle

or simply focus on the medium dark area to avoid rainbow ( exposed highlight abit.)

Do not enable Live HDR to video (miniuser123 said it will bug the slowmotion camera)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GautamTPG:
I completely agree with all you have said, and I really do appreciate you taking the time and effort to test it this extensively and report your findings! Imo however, if you use HDR+ Enhanced (Pixel 2017), it significantly reduces noise, but the time taken for the shot is nearly the same as the time taken as Nexus 6P settings. So is there a difference between ZSL HDR+ enhanced and Non-ZSL HDR+?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gaurav k21:
Can someone please share best settings for Galaxy S7 and S6 ???

Please don't ignore. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Cam works well :D Good job :3

Two questions though - is 240 FPS slowmo limited? Is it possible to add more FPS or change resolution?

Also, I do not see motion picture feature, similar to the stock one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Reza7612:
Please first read the OP comment in page 1. You can also find it from the comment of users in last pages.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SelimKrdy:
Thank you sir. You've just saved the day. I wanted to report about the noise then I saw your post. Now it's far better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CMas97:
For me, pixel 2017 and nexus 6 take equal time to shoot a picture. And neither of the two appear to have any important difference in quality, except for pixel 2017 having maybe a tiny little better dynamic range. After a lot of testing, I've figured the settings that work best for me in low light. It's 4x slow shutter and 75% underexposure. Rainbow is next to invisible in very high contrast shots, while it's entirely absent in any other condition. At this point, gcam is miles ahead of stock. Dark scene shots come out quite bright, with great dynamic range, lots of detail and almost no noise. V8.3 works wonders, if only we could have that 10 second processing fixed on oreo lol, but I don't really mind. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edwardsiow:
hi may I know where is the link of v8.3? thanks

Another Issue I have observed after upgrading to v8.2:

On my earlier version (v7) of [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION]'s GCAM port, if I used portrait mode on a non-human subject, (eg, a flower or a ball) the backgrounds used to get nicely blurred as well, just as it would do with human subjects. However, post upgrading to v8.2, the backgrounds don't get blurred at all for non-human subjects. Is there something that needs to be enabled in dev settings to get this to work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AFactualSponge:
Unable to use version 8.2 or 8.3 on the Exynos Galaxy S9+

I've tried both 8.2 and 8.3. As soon as I open the installed application, I get an immediate 'camera stopped working' toast notification. I've tried force stopping, clearing cache and data, to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ImJvx:
Not rocket science. Your device doesn't support these 2. Easy as that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bifi2090:
Hi guys. I'm on Lineage 15.1 unofficial with g930f exynos. Now i can take beautiful pictures. The only Bug: i can't record any Video. Neither in Pixel, nor in Nexus Mode and even with deactivated "...micro" Option under developer settings. If i click on the record button, it clicks on and immediately after a half second of. What could be the solution for this Problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zehjotkah:
Sometimes I've got this problem when in battery saver mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AFactualSponge:
Well aware of this. Simply stating it in hopes the developer finds a way to add support for S9 models.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ImJvx:
Developer doesn't really have black magic or super power to figure out what phone , version of Android you're using , you know.

You didn't even bother sending logs to help him out , it's disrespectful to me if I want help when I don't even help myself with logs. Dev doesn't have s9 or Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AFactualSponge:
Calm down, keyboard warrior. I'm not going to waste my time sending unecessary information. If the dev wants any info I'm sure they'll ask. I'm purely stating it so that the dev and any other S9 or S9+ user can clearly see it won't work on their device, as S9's aren't mentioned anywhere else in the thread.

Talk about jumping down my throat for mentioning something :rolleyes: :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ImJvx:
First of all I'm not attacking you. All I'm doing is showing how wrong you're in a civil conversation.

How do you expect him to fix an error in his app without logs? Like really , saying "hey it doesn't work on my phone" (you didn't even mention you had s9) LOL. :eek: .

Do you think he could just guess the issue on your phone (that's assuming you mentioned it) while he has a completely different phone? You look like you never did coding or development before.

And btw , devs don't have to ask for logs , the rules are if you want your issue fixed or report an issue, YOU have to PROVIDE logs or your comment will be ignored.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] S7sadly:
It works so well

Hey loving version 8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koboltzz:
You are right and I am aware of this possibility (for messengers and so on). But I think adding it

native

to the app would be great.

Nope, as well 'Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto' as 'Slow Shutter X2' and 0% underexposure multiplier ;)

Keep in mind 'NonZSL' settings only works for... NonZSL, therefore 'Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto'.

Even with 1/50s shutter speed (I get color problems when using 1/200s) the 'Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto' processing is slow and will block the app until it's finished. That's not very practical for everyday usage. Having google's algorithm

and

ZSL is the real astonishing thing about [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] work and I don't want to miss it :good:

Nightshots are a whole different thing, for good quality you need a tripod and have to wait 10+ seconds for each picture OR use 'Nexus 6 HDR+ Auto' and Slow Shutter X2 :D

Since you wrote about 'Pixel 2017 ZSL' you seem to have a special device ;) The pictures at night with this mode are really.... disgusting.

Thx for your approval :highfive:

You are right, I thought the master switch is only necessary for the paramters below. Well, I highly advice against enabling Live HDR since it will mix the good google algorithm with bad samsung one and in addition to that you will get

a lot

more noise. The HDR effect is not gone if you set underexpose to 0% therefore the best solution for rainbow effect (for me). ;)

The quality differs between 'ZSL + HDR enhanced' and 'Nexus 6 HDR Auto + HDR forced on' to the disadvantage of ZSL, since the most important setting in concern of noise 'Slow Shutter X2' only applies to

Non

ZSL mode.

Thx for your confirmation :)

Gcam of s7 edge vs iphone x

Another comparison between Gcam of s7 edge and iphone x First images taken by gcam. You can see the gcam realy shins, the images taken by gcam have awsome dynamic rang and details.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] miniuser123:
For me Pixel config with enhanced hdr+ is just about the same as nexus config as they use the same non zsl method. Slow shutter 2x definitely works in pixel config with enhanced hdr.

Underexposure set to 0% will degrade dynamic range to about the level of zsl hdr+ which I agree is still decent ( reaching stock cam dynamic range in a lot of cases).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koboltzz:
Thx for your input and work on this :)

Did you upgrade to oreo already? I wonder if this will change your impression but I will do new comparision shots now for this case. Scratch that, I forgot normal S7 do not have oreo leak.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edcs93:
[MENTION=1441829]koboltzz[/MENTION] I prefer "Config camera HDR+" in Nexus mode for all type of photos, the colors and brightness are more balanced and looks like the reality.

For low light photos I have used your configurations and they look really good now! I used "Apk Clone" to made 2 cameras, one for "night" and one for "day"

[MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] slow shutter really works with Pixl Config but with Nexus I saw more details. I will make more photos to compare!

Underexposure set to 0% really degrade dynamic range and I didnt see difference in quality...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koboltzz:
Tests done, you are right, it's nearly the same. Using tripod, only artificial dimly light in a room, the uncompressed ZSL+HDRenhanced jpeg is 8534 kilobyte big at the same time the uncompressed NonZSL is 8615 kilobyte. Why I am writing this down? Well visually they are

almost identically

, but the noise pattern seems to be slightly different...

I wonder why you wrote 'it is necessary to completely close the application' when changing from ZSL to NonZSL when at the same time enabling HDRenhanced (in ZSL mode) is doing the same onthefly?

For me, a camera should not add things to a picture which are not even there. Since we have a 'rainbow' effect with anything higher than 0% underexposure I gladly accept that I have less of a HDR effect but at least no rainbow ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xterminater07:
[MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION], how can we galaxy s9+ users help you in any ways to get this camera mod to work for our phone? I have sent you a PM in regard to the issues facing with gcam.

Hi i recently used the slow shutter x8 setting from v8.3 beta and clicked this photograph at midnight.

Thank you so much [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] for your gcam app
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
I think 8.3 is well made version. I have no problem with it (S7E, Nougat). Daily photos are better in terms of eye candy - it does not mean they are more natural or copy exactly the photographed landscape environment. I just say it looks better even if it is oversaturated.

However night photos are mostly well far behind stock. All details are lost, image looks like done at phone from 2008 year so :P

Stock vs Gcam night: Nexus config plus Slow Shutter X2. Denoise 100%, at 160% it is nightmare.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CMas97:
By "we" you mean you. 75% underexposure and 4x slow shutter and I've never gotten a rainbow again. If you're gonna set underexposure to 0 you might as well use stock camera. The slower shutter speeds in 8.3 perfected this port.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koboltzz:
Which Phone and which android verison? Let me guess you set 'antibanding mode' to something different than 'controlled by gcam'...

Yeah of course..... not, nearly 60 results if I search for 'rainbow' in this thread :eek:

Please don't comment if you have no idea what's going on. Also you are wrong in concern of HDR effect with underexposure at 0%, miniuser123, the dev of this port, has confirmed it's still better than stock+hdr.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Yes. Antibanding is controlled by Gcam, which equals to off. I use S7 Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koboltzz:
That's good then, I've noticed a quite huge quality loss after setting it to 50/60Hz. Strange you get this bad results. Try deleting app data, start app, agree every rights, go to settings, force close app, start app again, set 2X slow shutter and change ZSL pixel mode to Nexus 6 HDR Auto. Test it again with night shots.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edcs93:
Interesting comparison!

Im really disappointed with Iphone X lol. In truth its hard to accept this poor quality for the high price, the images are too blurry

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

What did you changed in "tunning back cam" to make the comparison?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] raj.ayush78:
Frankly speaking its also somethjing to do with the format iphone x takes photos in. It takes in HEIC format which cannot be opened in android or as far as I know in windows 10 default photo app. So, in conversion the photos get hazy and looks very bad on screens other than the X itself
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edcs93:
Low Light Comparison

I made 3 simple comparison here:

1. ZSL Pixl, 60Hz, Slow Shutter X2, underexposure 0%

2. Nexus, 60Hz, Slow Shutter X2, underexposure 0%

3. Nexus, 60Hz, Slow Shutter X2, underexposure 100%

I prefer the #1 because the low denoise but all the photos have the rainbow effect
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnybr99:
Is there a setting in the app to lower the noise produced by front facing camera? Pictures turn out way noisier than they should.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koboltzz:
Nope...

without underexposure there is technically no rainbow effect possible. Also you need to focus on a bright light source to force the effect.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edcs93:
You can see the rainbow in the right down corner in all the photos...

I forgot say that I focus on the PS4's controller.

Is necessary focus on the point that have more luminous?

With Nexus I see to much noise, do you use Pixl?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koboltzz:
What's your device? Since the development focus is on S7 so I hope you have one ;)

I own two S7 and on both the rainbow effect is gone completely without any underexposure enabled.

Also with Nexus profile I get nearly no noise at all no matter how dimly the light conditions are.

Edit: If you read at least the last six posts you will see an other hint from me about bad quality pics and how to fix them ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
Try stock setting so i can see change rainbow effect before u setting to lowlight
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Reza7612:
