[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
Google Camera Mods
​

Hi everyone. Finally i'm happy to say that i've successfully fixed/ported/changed 3 different version of Gcam that are fully working for our device! This versions are based on [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4100354]oganyan-arthur[/MENTION] .

First of all i'm not a developer i'm just a student of electronic engeneering that enjoys taking pics and that enjoys much more Google's Camera than Samsung's one! :D

I struggled a lot to make those apk working (that is == to waste time instead of studying for my courses :p ) beacuse i've never been into this field so don't expect anything more from me.

How to Install

Steps:

- Uninstall your current version of Gcam

- From smart manager clean up the memory (YES, sometimes it's needed beacuse after i tried a lots of different verisons of Gcams i messed up something more then the app cache itself)

- Install the app

- After the first setup close (or better force close) the app to apply all the settings

- Done!

3.1 Features:

- Added "wavegenerator" lib that allow higer ISO values

-Added languages ES,FR, PT-Brasil,RU (thanks to [MENTION=672937]jujusito[/MENTION] [MENTION=222543]Sergey[/MENTION] [MENTION=739585]corentin[/MENTION] [MENTION=7248237]samoel[/MENTION] and all who helped for translation)

-Rearranged a bit the menu the have to most used stuff on the very first settings menu

-Added bitrate settings for video(still 60 fps don't work) you can go up to 100 Mbps

-Other minor changes

I aimed to do a no config apk for exynos s8. That means that now you don't have to restart or forceclose the app after the clean install to set the settings. Everything should be ok now the only issue i found is that sometimes, after the first install only, beacuse i forced the camera selector to choose Pixel 2017 HDR, the app may crash but just after the first install and in no other situation.

Stability: Good

3.1.2 Features:

-enabled by default "temporal binning". Can improve processing time

-fixed the exposure of HDR+ enhaced mode on front camera for s7 users

-changed the Very High HDR config. Now will take a fixed burst of 20/24 (Pixel 2017/Nexus 6) processing time is longer but we can try to compare the result with (8/10 burst). As always you MUST restart the app to apply those settings!!

Stability: Good

3.2 Features:

- Now you can select the path where to save the photos (doesn't work on sd card but probably can work with some xposed mod. I've tried to make it work with a magisk module and it works but the preview in gallery is broken).

- Removed all the snapdragon toggles. The app will know when apply that settings (if i forgot some devices just PM me with your device CODENAME and i'll add it or tell me what are the config. you use for your device)

- Removed custom denoise param and other settings

-Now the app will restart every time you go back from settings to the viewfinder. This means that you don't need anymore to restart the app to apply settings

-Now there are three gestures in the viewfinder:

1. double tap on the black area it will pop the exposure menu directly

2. long-press on gallery and it will open samsung gallery instead of google photos

3. long press on the switch camera and after the restart the viewfinder brightness will be set to maximum

- some minor changes and dark theme now as default theme

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why the app is not installing?

A: Make sure you uninstall first the previous version

Q: Why i'm getting "parsing error" or errors when i try to install the apk?

A: Download the apk with the browser and NOT with the Drive app or use mirror links.

Q: Why i have still pink potrait mode?

A: Follow the Install instructions.

Q: Why slow-motion/ 60fps (or whatever you want)

A: Because i don't see the point of doing videos with Google Camera Ports beacuse Samsung camera it's doing a good job on that.

This doesn't mean i wont fix them either.

Q: On the device XYZ the app is not working.

A: I only support S8/S8+. I know on other Exynos devices it works (N8,S7,S6) so maybe i can take a look for them. If you ask for everything else i will just ignore your report.
