Actually not from the last 2-3 builds, gcam actually takes kinda exidted skin tones from the beginning. Face of a person looks unnatural a bit though it looks good. The overall photo is excellent no doubt. If OP can do just do something about the skin colour and make it natural.

Hello, I have samsung s7 (Exynos, Oreo).

Use version V8.3b Base 3.2.9, it works; The error is that it takes a long time to take the picture about 3 seconds (In portrait mode)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] raj.ayush78:
Actually this has been the case(only little drawback) of gcam from thw very 1st hdr port(from even before miniusers's ports). It sometimes screws up the skin tone especially noticable in indoor artificial light hdr enahnced photo with backlighting and u capturing a face. It makes the face white(unnatural).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] raj.ayush78:
I am attaching 2 pics of stock and gcam app. This clearly shows that sometimes gcam can just destroy skin tones especially in this type of situation. Other things like background and details are much better on gcam but Stock is much much better in skin tone here. Can this be fixed somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] raphy3:
Just logging in to tell everyone -FYI and psa- I've used the latest release (3.2.9) on both nougat and oreo on the same phone, sm-G950F, with the same settings (pixel zsl, medium hdr+) and the difference in image processing time is an order of magnitude. To boot, the image quality is better on nougat for me, as exposure time is actually reduced, resulting in sharper images. Using regular hdr with zsl, the processing is effectively instantaneous. With hdr+enhanced, the processing time barely more than a second (it can be finished sometimes before I can preview it in the gallery). On oreo it's easily north of 10s for hdr+ enhanced. I downgraded from oreo to nougat for two reasons: the terrible battery life and the terrible performance. I can report that SOT has nearly doubled, while image processing time with this app has reduced by 10x. This app is my main camera, so that was critical. Portraits with the stock camera are so incredibly bad that they are totally unusable. The pixel cam changed that, but the usability was marginal due to the processing time. Using zsl mode mitigated a lot of that, but nougat makes it perform like a stock camera.

I'm getting black and white photographs...

Edit: nvm it's working now
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] devillucifer:
abit exaggerating but i do agree, yes processing time is super fast on Nougat and battery life is great.

There's no way i can go back to Oreo, i thought i was the only one stay Nougat just for the camera haha :highfive:

back to topic :

on Recent versions since 3.29 to 3.3

iDan removed SamsungLive HDR for Video (also set video quality option) which i kinda liked, if you still want this option

> install older version like 3.1.2 turn it on, set your bit rates then install 3.3 over it.

Use Samsung LiveHDR for video will crash your GCAM if u turn on slowmotion ! other than that it will work just fine.

it gives great contrast and dynamic range in lowlight to your video. The only thing make me prefer it over Stock cam.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alessa:
Hello. Who is the 3.3 version?

I noticed that the flash led and less powerful than on the stock camera.

3.2.9 is crashing alot on note 8
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
i've tried to port latest arnova version. I've fixed some bugs but the iso is set to maximum level and exposure time 1s for each shot. Right now i don't have that time to investigate more on this. But i saw that processing is faster on latest version. With android studio i've checked why the processing time is that longer and i think i've find out the reason. Beacuse the garbage collector starts 2/3 times while processing the slowdown is beacuse you have both the garbage collector working at the same time while there is the image processing. There is no way to stop it from collecting the unused object the only way is to work at code level and remove the unused object allocated which is not trivial. There are also some bad coding habits that will trigger the garbage collector like appending a string with "+" instead of pushing it in the vector but they are all over the entire code. This is fixed on 5.3xxx version but changing it manually on 5.18xxx would be a real pain

Download the app from the mirror, instead of google drive. Or if you download the app from gdrive use the browser. It's a know bug of gdrive app

you need to do a clean install because if you don't do it the new saturation settings won't apply correctly. Install and go to the settings then go back to the viewfinder and should be fine :good:

What is the difference between Pixe2Mod Base vs v.83b base?

Which one should I get if I have a Note 8 with Oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
8.3 has more feature while pixel2mod has less. It should be more pixel2mod beacuse has less features. For 8.3 on note 8 i added some specific code for your device so it should work correctly
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Virivox:
Hello master idan1109!!!

I have s7 exynos oreo.

So the version 8.3 is more "heavy" than pixlel2mod?

You advice me the second?

Thanks man. You give life of my s7!!!

I have installed the 8.3b, 3.2.9 i did not tried the pixel2mod yet. I am good in 8.3b, sometimes crashes but i clean the memory and stay fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
+ Auto exposure 1/50 or 1/100 at daylight. Great :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] hiimappy:
Idan will you ever get pixel2mod v8 or pixel3mod?

Pixel 3 mod quality looks better but incompatible with s8
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Neo3D:
Thank you iDan! Another question, can we install both at the same time?

And will these work on Snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pinkcat:
Is it a major improvement to the s8 camera?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrchaien:
are you using 20/24 mode? is it stable?

or best setting you using for that mode. please share, thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Onepunchbro:
not really stable, sometimes crash, sometimes processing time is very very long

but when it works, its magic. i only use 20/24 burst mode for night landscape shots and very low light situation. with OIS, handheld 1/10 and shooting 20/24 makes it possible

my settings; i cloned 2 different gcam so that i can use2 different settings.

1) gcam for day light and low light - nexus hdr+, pixel stable 8/10/10 burst, no ZSL for HDR+ and Portrait Mode, slow shutter X2

2) gcam for night photo and extreme low light - nexus hdr+, very high 20/24 burst, no ZSL, slow shutter X2

u need to take 2,3 times to ensure the final photo is sharp when handheld, otherwise u tripod.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrchaien:
very detail, i'll try later! big thanks for your time ^^. just tried before but it crashes instantly on my note fe. I also use app cloner to use 2 different gcams, one with pixel mode and one for nexus mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
yes they will work fine on Snapdragon. Probably on s8 Snap will work perfectly and faster beacuse it has the same 835 chip as pixel 2 / XL so it will use the hexagon dsp.

to install them at the same time use app cloner

Pixel2Mod v8 is pretty much similar to 8.3 i can fix it to make it work on exynos but i don't think its really worth in terms of quality. Note that we have tons of option on 8.3 so that if you know how to adjust them the quality will be superior (live hdr is an example).

Right now i'm working on another version where i'm gonna improve stability and some bad code implementation (like passing values with static variables) i noticed that sometimes front camera crash on newer version so to avoid that i found a solution by hooking some methods to see what happens there . Also what i wanted to do is to enable the hdr+ front button like 5.3. Pixel3 mod has a bug for exynos devices where the native library are returning bad analog gain values. I don't have any idea on how to modify them at libs level. Also there are no real good software that allow me to decompile libs (The only good one is IDA pro but it costs so much 3k-4k $ and the free version doesn't translate the ARM code unluckly)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrchaien:
Hi IDan!

How are you today?

i have been using your port for a long time. Today is the first time i try to use very high hdr parameter 20/24 with nexus setting. Use with slow shutterx2. But the result doesnt make any different? Even i try at slow shutterx4 but dont see any big improvement of quality when comparing with 8/8/10 mode. Good news is it seems quite stable on my device.

Can you share best setting with very high 20/24 mode? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] raj.ayush78:
Any plans to look into slow shutter x4 and x8 which would make this already excellent app unmatched in low light?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] hiimappy:
I love the strong/ long respond and thank you for taking the time for it, I shall install 8.3 and mess around with the settings to make it superior on my Snapdragon S8 ( if anyone got some good settings let me know)

Woah that's expensive!

And I will be waiting on that new update :)

Have a good day!

Since I switched to the debloating ROM pixelize, the Google camera app (v3.2.9 Basis 8.3b) often crashes or freezes.

The pixelize ROM does not include a Samsung camera app. What features of this app are used by the ported Google camera app?

Often the Google camera freezes when switching between front and rear camera and crashes when using the portrait mode with the front camera or HDR+ enhanced with the rear camera.

As soon as I have Logcat protocols, I will add them here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I just do take a look that my lens is clean. And otherwise before i do a photo, i try turning the camera here and there to find a good match between light and shadow. In my first photo post i used the grass to break the sunlight. Sorry for my bad english:)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fourhundredlux:
Developer settings were removed a couple of builds ago. If you need to enable camcorder.h265 you have to install an older build, enable it and then replace the base.apk on your data partition with the apk of a new build.

Im no luck if use slowshutter and underexposur setup, always get noise on low light..so i use 1/33 speed and use very high hdr+ parameters to get more sharp details on low light
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] NIGH7MARE:
The best options will always be those that works best for you. In my case, after MONTHS testing every option i noticed somethings and worked on a balanced setting (those that i posted before)

Slow shutter x2 is the best option (would use x4 if it were stable)

50% underexposure is the best balanced option for me (dial the highlights in decent level, recover the shadows in very good level and halo effect doesn't show that easy)

I think 100% underexposure is best for night photos but I don't have patience to change all the time so i stay with 50 cause works great for me.

I prefer not too much noise reduction (more visible noise but more details too, which i prefer) so i use 100% for rear camera and 150% for front.

And, at least for me, there isn't considerable difference between low (5/7) and very high (20/24) settings in picture quality, but considerable difference in time to take a photo, so i prefer the low option.

Test the options you all. It wont hurt and you'll learn more. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rho-bot:
Besides Settings, maybe it would be helpful also to mention Model number & builtin Cam sensor(s)

Samsung has a 2nd source strategy, and e.g. for S7, they use Samsung & Sony sensors. Builtin Sensor can be found out by AIDA64 App.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xalaros10:
If I remember well you've got s7.

a) Are these settings works well also with s8?

b) With these settings, overal quality is better from stock app camera?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] NIGH7MARE:
Mine is, indeed, a S7 G930F, exynos processor, isocell sensor.

If I'm not wrong, s8 has the same sensor as s7 so the settings i posted should work just fine.

As i said, you should try and see if it works for you. For me, these are the best settings, so it's better than what comes stock. But this is for my preference.

Btw, I'm using Superman ROM.
