Gcam is good only for portraits for now, and portraits are really awesome. I've compared with iPhone x's portrait and I was amazed to see our s7 could do better.

But we cannot replace Gcam app with stock one as its not Giving the quality stock gives,but hdr and color management is good in Gcam. But as I said and we all know, we are here just for portraits.

Appreciate the efforts of [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION].

Hi guys, i am using s8 exynos. The V5, V4 working good in portrait mode. But, i think in hdr+(not portrait) Gcam produces more noises than the stock or there is a setting i dont know ? thankyou
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pogi.paul0119:
This. I'm on s8 and greatly appreciated the port. As been mentioned many times, we all have different preference. For me, 95% percent cam app I've been using is the stock because of speed and quality.

Using gcam when it comes to portrait which we don't have on stock atm. Please don't get me wrong, i really appreciated the work of miniuser123.. so please don't fight whichever is better..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Red Lava 60:
Yes it does, nice catch just now tested on s7 exynos and it is the same
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thavishalovesme:
I hope you are not discouraged by reading these above comments [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] (claiming that stock is better than gcam)... I was about to buy a new pixel cause the stock camera was soo bad and then you brought us this mod and I changed my decision... please keep developing as there are some loyal fans thats eargely waiting for your updates... Thanks a lot for your efforts... ? keep up the good work...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nvrmndryo:
Oh, no one is fighting here, atleast not me. Few months ago I was thinking of changing phone just because of portrait mode, and now I have portrait mode. So I am more than happy. People ask me which dslr I use to capture portraits , what else you want! ?

I use Zero Camera Mod https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/themes/zero-camera-mod-v1-0-increased-bitrates-t3439870

I have paid version and I like most lowered "denoise" and "sharpening" for photos while for videos I love HDR for 4K and 60 FPS for 2K ^^

There is difference between pure stock and modded stock with lowered denoise and sharpening. It is not milestone, you will not get the quality of hardware of Pixel 2 XL cam, but it is clearly improvement.

I want to join in giving thanks to [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION]

You are doing an amazing job

I don't want to join discussion about Gcam v Stock but I found my self using this mode more and more. Selfies are definitely a mile a head. Also some of the photos are so much better then on the stock camera app.

I'm on S8ex using v6 and I love it. It's very stable didn't crash once since I've installed it. I did notice something similar to the stock app. When I touch to focus on dark part of photo the sky or light gets way brighter, almost like on stock camera. Don't mind because photos are really good

Once more,thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] raj.ayush78:
Maybe because of the live hdr. Turn that off and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CMas97:
It's awful cloudy today but I'll try to shoot more pics sometime. Here are 2 pictures, one from stock camera, one from gcam, both on the S8+, both with hdr on(they are full-res on imgbb).

https://ibb.co/kD8LRS (stock)

https://ibb.co/dmiWY7 (gcam)

The difference, although not as major as in other conditions, is still profound. Notice the way better dynamic range in the gcam pic, especially visible in the clouds and the maintained blacks. Stock camera is far from low quality, but hdr+ still does a better job. Personally, I haven't had the green/purple tint issue, the mem leak problem(to the point that a reboot was necessary, I haven't rebooted my phone in ages), the hdr not working, the portrait mode causing black camera, nor any of most other issues reported here. The zero camera mod mentioned earlier, as has already been stated requires root, which I avoid on Samsung devices to prevent issues with Knox. I have seen what it can do and while 2k60fps is nice, the video is really wonky. To each their own, I guess. Lastly, I find it both funny and ironic how some users claim this thread is exclusively for the S7, while the app itself apparently works better on other devices like the s8.

My settings:

What's causing touch to focus not to work on the Note 8? Is it working on the other galaxy? Anyway apart from this everything seems working fine for me! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gabriellovesmusic:
I'm gonna have to agree with majority of the people here. What I noticed after using gcam for about a month an a half or so now, it has consistently better details( tiny text, and texture of the subject like wall, building etc) and are more readable and has better dynamic range, exposure whereas stock tends to smudge details, like tiny texts and texture of a rough surface. And I also notice that it sometimes has more accurate white balance too.

I have a few questions regarding video recording .

I'm on S8ex Nougat, using v6

In my BSG setings only option for video it 1080p for fronts and back camera- is it the same with you?

I don't have the option for 2k/4k video !

Anyone tried to record 60fps video? I did but my app just went black and couldn't do anything but romeove and clean install it again.

Quality of video(just had a few samples) is very poor - In fact the difference in color is so evident(photo vs video color)

I know the purpose of this mode is Portrait but I would like to use this app as much as I can.

Once more, thanks to developer and all others on their advices

I cannot take front cam portrait mode pics, the app crashes after a long wait.

Dear All,

I am note 5 user. My ram usage shoot to 2 GB used for System when or after I have used Google Camera. Even after I have closed the app, or even I manually clear the RAM, the RAM will return back to 1.4-1.5 GB used. It will not release the RAM back to normal stage unless to reboot the phone. My normal stage is below 1 GB RAM used for System. Is there any fix? because I love the portrait mode very much
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edios123:
I got it working on my S7E. Damn this camera has o much of potential! The only reason I want to change my phone is the camera, I can't bear the terribly horribly over sharpened pics and videos! I thought the hardware is just like that.

With this app, the photos look much more neater and pleasing to my eyes than the stock camera even though there is some noise when zoomed in. I hope it can be improved in the upcoming releases.

And holy crap! The front camera was such a crapshoot compared to other flagships and with this camera it makes it soo better!

Wtf is wrong with Samsung?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GautamTPG:
I just took a pic using HDR (on my S7E exynos), and it blew my mind! It is so much better than the stock camera. Unfortunately, I deleted the stock camera's pic, but still, here's the GCam version. Only thing stopping me from using it frequently is the excessive battery usage, inability to store to SD card and doubled file sizes (though that isn't much of a concern if I can save to SD card). I'm not too fussy about the front camera as I barely use it, but I like blowing people's minds with portrait mode (Because they've only heard of iPhone X, not the Pixel 2).

But seriously, hats off for such incredible work. And sorry for my speech.

PS: The pic may not seem all that impressive but compared to the stock camera, it's nearly a night and day difference.

front camera hdr + working wonders on s8 exynos. potrait mode was expected to be very good but the hdr plus on front just takes the cam to a whole new level. I mean the photo front front cam in google app is much better in my opinion in terms of colour and with just a little less sharpness(in good light) than even the rear cam in samsung stock app. excellent work. samsung app front cam photo is just no comparsion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamkeshav:
[MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] CASE 1: I noticed a bug in the app, when using the front camera Potrait Mode on Galaxy S7 in extreme dark environment with flash, when the shutter button is clicked the screen flash turns on but it doesn't click any photos, at that moment also when I click the shutter button nothing happens. Settings used were as described by you (Pixel XL). This is a bug or problem with mine phone, you should test it out.I was trying to take photo under blanket when, i noticed this. I am using the version 3 of your build. And by the way a huge thanks for making this app work. Also one thing i noticed that front camera selfie in normal mode is very bad. I tried testing later too the conclusion i derived is that some times it works but most of the time does not, atleast on my phone. In this case my front cam HDR+ was off.

CASE 2: In same environment when taking photos with front camera in normal mode, the shutter button does sound and it seems that photo has been clicked but no photo is found in gallery or photos app. Although there is no need to take photo in normal mode as quality is already bad. In this case front cam HDR+ was on.

Either this has some connection with flash as in both case i turned on the flash (screen flash) or something with extreme dark environment.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] miniuser123:
You can check ION memory usage with adb. Type cat /d/ion/buffer in adb shell to check whether ION memory used is significantly higher after using the app. If it is not, then the system will eventually recover I think, it just takes some time. High memory usage is a concern to me as well, but it will be difficult to reduce I think. It would be interesting to see what happens on a Pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnybr99:
Memory leaks are a real problem currently. Phone becomes slow after using an app, even if I force stop it from the settings menu, so restart is required. But nonetheless, kudos to you for making such an amazing feature available to us.

Are you able to take photos? Maybe you could check if you may have switched to 60fps for video? If you can't access rear video, Try switching to front facing camera, then switch to video mode then check. If it's 60fps, change it to 30fps then see if it solves it.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] 7UIS:
It's normal when that happens because I think it's by the fact it exceeds the available memory RAM on your phone. That also happened to me when I was using V4, but with V5 I have Google Camera working on both cameras and even with the Portrait Mode working on both of them.

Try the V5. You just need to select the model as "Pixel XL" and then choose "AUTO" or "NEXUS 6" in the following setting. This way you should be able to get both cameras working, even in Portrait Mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bockor:
was absolutely same with v5. The photo mode starts normally,I switched booth camera's video mode to 720p, but the result was black screen and restart again after a few try to start app again .

[MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] would you mind sharing the settings you personally found the best compromise for dynamic range, noise and rainbow effect?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] 7UIS:
You should head to the up-left button which shows all possible modes and the Options setting. For Portrait Mode I select "Retrato" (because mine's in Portuguese), so in English it should be "Portrait", but you can find that just above the Options setting. Then, you should have the possibility to activate the skin correction, grid, (. . .) and the flash.

TIP: the Portrait Mode just works on people and I think it only recognizes two (but not 100% sure about this).
