slow shutter: tries to select lowest iso at the cost of slower shutter

api2: default camera2 api shutter speed and iso. If you select this, the HDR mechanism of gcam cannot work properly. I only left it in the list because it reduces rainbow effect significantly (however dynamic range suffers).

The HDR methodology of Google generates a bit more noise than other approaches. You can try selecting slower shutter speed and/or increasing denoise setting.

Not, while I have nougat on my phone. Regarding slow processing on Oreo, I cannot even guess what the problem might be based on the complaints here... Does the slow processing happen in all light conditions? Are all cpu cores maxed out while processing??

If HDR is enabled for front cam, non-portrait shots are sharp too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rajarshi10:
All CPU cores are maxed out while processing, either the screen goes all black in gallery and comes back after 40 seconds. It happens in all conditions. HDR+ just takes ages and if you take two shots which would mean overkill for the CPU then the phone hangs and the app crashes.

Would really appreciate if you can do something about it. Thanks :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] x017in:
Using a note 8 (Exynos), the rear camera portrait doesn't seem to work.

In portrait mode, the front camera takes 2 photos, 1 portrait and 1 regular. However the rear takes only 1 photo which does not have portrait mode.

Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
i think not yet optimized for 2 camera..see u developer setting on gcam..mybe can be turn off use 2 cameras
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edcs93:
Nice! I will wait for that.

With the settings that you used in V5 here the "camera shot" are too slow and in the night appear some purple lights in the corner and in lamps...

I think when I used v4 was better but in the v7 have more options that I do not understand so it is more difficult to me make test

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

Man, I have tested that and I think V4 is better than that and I do not know why. The stock cam was better in the shots.

I will upload and post the comparison.

Potrait mode works only on human subject.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] 7UIS:
I only use the Google Camera for Portrait Mode or to take photos from the front camera, because it has better quality than the stock's Samsung Camera.

The rear camera has better quality with Samsung Camera, not much difference during daylight, but especially at night. Because with Google Camera, the less light you have, the more noise you will find. However, this app is in constant development, so maybe soon it can have that fixed. . .But it's worth to mention that this app is from Google Pixel II which has a different camera, despite being just one camera with Dual-Pixel and PDAF like the S7/S7 edge, but for example its camera aperture isn't f/1.7. . .So it's normal that you have slightly different results from the phone that originally has that app.

However, it's also worth to point that the responsible for the port of Google Camera to the S7/S7 edge is doing a very nice job. A few weeks ago I was wondering if someday I could have the Portrait Mode working on my phone. . .AND NOW I HAVE IT!!!

We must thank him (the developer) for his very hard work and for giving us (all S7/S7 edge users) such a great feature that is trending at the moment, but that can also make more use of the great hardware we have, as this camera (the rear one) is one of the best we can see on a phone. The front one is not bad, but it became much better with Google Camera (like I said a few posts ago).

P.S.: Google Camera made my interest in photography grow up. Sorry for this long post. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] richierich:
Couldn't agree more with your sentiments. None of us owed anything from the developer of this port, therefore, I am extremely grateful, for what he has provided thus far. If further improvements come along, then that's even more reason to be thankful! Let's just try and keep all of that in mind.

P.S As a photographer this is far beyond my expectation to be honest so, I'm even more grateful!!! (Galaxy S8 user)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edcs93:
What I wanted to mean is that the version 4 in the rear cam the pics are better than the stock apk and the front camera have more focus.

[MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] are doing a excellent job and he needs a lot of congratulation.

But my doubt is if about this difference between v7 and v4, maybe I need diferent settings on V7. I do not know...

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

I was not criticizing, just wondering if it was only with me that difference between versions

We just have to be thankful with the developer as you sayd!

Dude, be patient. He's a human too. For all we know, he may be working on it..

Besides, I'm pretty sure he intended this port for S7's (S8's and some other phones also work due to their similar setup), so the fact that it works on other devices may result in a few issues on those devices.

One of the important things that after using this camera app for a while, will reduce the performance of your phone very very much even after you close it , so your mobile will keep being slow and laggy until you restart your phone , there is problem caused by the app called memory leak , which consume huge amount of the RAM, even closing it will not fix until you go to some of the services and force it to stop or by a restart
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
i get laggy on gcam if use gcam tool app..more leak memory..so im uninstalled gcam tool..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlexOptimal:
I see no reason as to why the touch to autofocus should not work on the Note8 as it works on the S8 and they both share the same main camera sensor.

The only hypothesis I can formulate would be that there is some form of interference from the secondary magnification lens.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

^ No that wasn't a demand for miniuser123 to make it work, I'm just speculating :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] raj.ayush78:
Touch to focus does not work on my s8 exynos too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlexOptimal:
Hmmm ok I see. It appears that the sensor on the 8 series phones are 2% larger than the one found on the S7 (1/2.55 compared to 1/2.5). This might explain why it is always slightly out of focus when auto focusing by touch. I'm not a programmer like [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] so I don't know if the amount of focusing could be adjusted by 2%.

Even if this is possible, I would suspect that [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] would finish optimizing the application for his desired system before he would begin to optimize it for similar systems. Which is a choice I fully agree with as this is not that big of a problem but rather a small inconvinience.

It is a privilege to even have such an application at our disposal. Also for the Oreo users out there I think I read somewhere today that Oreo is coming to the S7 later this year so there is hope that you might get an optimized application if [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] deems it necessary
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] 7UIS:
Are you using the settings I previously posted here? Mine had that issue too, but then I switched to model "Pixel XL" and the following setting to "Nexus 6 AUTO HDR+ NOZSL" and now I have everything working.

P.S.: my phone is a S7 edge. When using model "Pixel II XL" or "Pixel II", it unlocks another HDR+ option (enhanced, I think) and I've noted that the colors became a slightly more natural, but when taking a photo during daytime with a window appearing too (that receives the sunlight from outside) makes the pink glitch appear on it.

Bro Problem solved - portrait mode photos folder (not shown in gallery) try this link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.gcamtool&hl=en

GCam Tool automatically moves portrait photos taken with Google Camera, to the correct gallery location. Here's how it works:

When you take a portrait photo (with DSLR like blurred background) with Google Camera, it takes the photo in burst mode - one regular photo and one blurred photo. These photos are saved in a new folder (created every time you take a photo) inside your photo gallery.

GCam Tool simply moves the photos you want (regular, portrait or both) to the location you choose and deletes the rest.

Hope this will perfect your google camera now.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vscoiskindacool:
That's not how focusing works BTW.

The point of focus is the same, no matter the sensor size. If touch to focus doesn't work on a certain phone, that's not the reason, and the fix certainly wouldn't be "adjusting focus by 2%".

I got AR stickers to work! I can't see them from the drop down menu while AR mode on the camera but I can tap and drag down and they show on the screen. I have to delete Data on AR stickers app every time I open AR mode again but not that big of a issue. I tried to post a picture here but not sure why I can't.
