Latest version released to the Google Pixel devices. Previous 6.1.013 hasn't the official version of night sight. (devs enable night sight manually) This time with 6.1.021, released the night sight officially to pixel devices. So it may have some fixes & improvements from Google as well

Photoes taken with previous gcam versions (in 100% quality) storage size is around 7-9 mb but the newer version gcam photoes are around 3-5 mb.. why is that?

Is there a quality deference?

Oh! So it wasn't just an impression that quality has fallen off a bit. I just compared V1c with V1 and V0 and, to me, yes, other than file dimension also clarity seems to have diminished a bit.

Even you have a global version with global rom you have to unlock your bootloader if you want to flash using miflash otherwise you'll brick your phone, You can use xiaomi tool to switch from global stable to global dev without unlocking your boot loader.

Anyone know a version which works with the Mi 8 SE?

I'm on MIUI 10 weekly 8.7.19. Hardware Level Support Category is only "Full". "Level 3" is not active although I've set persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 in build.prop.

MGC_5.2.022 doesn't really apply any hdr+ . It takes normal photos but with no processing. Also portrait mode crashes the app.

The only one that does work and does processing is defcomg-fix_OP6v0.3_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk but there are issues with images getting very dark and also portrait mode is not working. I didn't get the chance to try on MIUI v9.

I think the drivers need to be patched. defcomg has done it in the past with other phones.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AxelOTP:
What if we replace the camera drivers from the current MIUI 10 weekly with those from MIUI 9 release which had camera2api working? I never got to be on that MIUI 9 version which worked and reverting to MIUI 9 through fastboot just to get the drivers would be a pain. Maybe someone who has MIUI 9, root and camera2api working can post the drivers here. They should be in /system/vendor/lib with an *.so extension. Considering it's still android 8.1 should work :confused:

Right, this version is working on my MI8 with xiaomi.eu ROM with MIUI10 BUT it doesnt process HDR+.

when i set old style (nexus) as camera model in BSG MOD settings i can not shoot and camera stuck, when choosing New Style (Pixel) camera FC.

i've manually enabled camera2 api.

when i leave the camera model blank in bsg mod settings, camera work but without HDR.

so: unfortunately hdr+ processing isnt working.

Guys!

I had stable global rom, and i used GCAM 5.3. It was perfect with rear cam saturation 2.0 and 2.5.

But I installed latest beta if i can use 6.1 and night mode. Now with 2.0 and 2.5 faces are fully reddish and so on.

What is the best settings for Android Pie and gcam 6.1?

I'm running latest GCam build on LineageOS 16.0 Oct 31 Build (Unofficial), there are some things I noticed:

HDR/HDR+ *seem* like they're not producing HDR images. The images are decent quality, but the low light areas are not boosted in exposure like the HDR mode on; I have saturation configuration on lowlights, but not exposure.

Can't take photos with HDR off; is this because the HDR/HDR+ modes are not doing HDR and just doing normal shots? I can only speculate.

Night mode produced some pretty amazing photos considering the light levels though. All in all it's been good progress. Just trying to see if anyone has mirrored my experience.

thanks again sir!:D
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rizahakam:
you won't find Night Sight on 5.3 as this feature is introduce on version 6.1. if you want to use 6.1 you must update your rom to Android Pie, whether change to Global Developer or use custom rom such as xiaomi.eu or AOSP based.

Night Sight is the name of the features, basically it's Night Mode for GCam. maybe Night Mode already used by Huawei in their camera application, so that's why Google use Night Sight name

Now i understand that you're talking about the android 8.1 version, and yes it doesn't have a working version for night sight yet. The reason BSG once said it will be solved until MIUI fixed libs in android 8.1. ALL THE NIGHT SIGHT WORKING versions are based on android pie (MIUI fixed libs in android pie after the update version of MIUI10 8.11.8).

I tested all with a lot of pictures, so IMO the best settings are:

latest gcam from BSG modded by xtreme(6.1.21)- can be found on telegram

Input model interface and back camera pixel 3

HDR+ - 1/5 min iso limited / no high iso in darkness frames 6/13

NighSide - 1/3 Min iso limited

quality 100% (still smaller size than miui camera)

disble zoom in portrait mode and enhanced hdr+ in portrait

saturation highlight 1.2 shadow 1.8

And no matter day/ night if you want the best detail go to night sight and switch front cam and then to back cam(this enables OIS).

Yes, 6p as a model was better, but not anymore. I have tested outdoor and indoor including picture from tripod and the quality on the latest gcam was the same. But exif with huawei mi8 is kinda ugly;) so i preffer google mi8. If you have comparasion on latest gcam please provide pictures :)

For the frames - too much frames can cause blurry and less detailed image. More pictures you stack in hdr+ enhanced the more it reduses noise. But since for low light i am using nigh sight i can leave low parameters for hdr+ images for faster pictures during the day. I attach frame test.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diexmax:
I know!

Great comparison! i dont have this comparison, my opinion is a bit example treated in Telegram Group.

Installed this on MI 8 running global stable 10.0.3.0 with locked bootloader. Enabled the "forcibly enable nightside in A 8.1" option and I get the option to use nightsight when the gcam is in a dark area(or the sensor is covered).

Doesn't appear to do anything though - results are identical to normal HDR+ mode ?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] hypern0va:
Very interesting comparison pics!

I take this discussion as an opportunity to ask: what's the methodology difference between "normal" HDR+ and HDR+ Enhanced? The number of frames? And are the custom HDR+ parameters which can be set in the app's settings related to the first or the latter?
