Try this thread, it's got the working Exynos Gcam.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RockwellB1:
Same thing happens to me. Have the app all setup and it acts like it's taking a picture but it's just black. So I'm still not convinced it's working perfectly yet, I'm sure there is more tweaking though, so it'll get there. I'm wondering how Samsung's night sight will compare when it comes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andronikal659:
Can you share your night sight settings screenshot? I can't get night sight to work without flash... Tried all settings; unless I used the wrong .apk. Are you using 1.2 final, 1.2 final fix 2 exynos, or another snapdragon version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PsiPhiDan:
Yeah mine worked great and then started behaving very weirdly. Super dark with insane dark/neon green color.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] oneandroidnut:
Which APK did you use?? Looks great
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RockwellB1:
Scratch what I said here, it's working fine for me now. I guess the area I was testing it in before was just simply too dark.

I guess for areas like that I'll stick to using my ancient Intensity 2 with it's IR camera. Which is something I can't believe Samsung hasn't added to their flagship smartphones to have something different. Truly was something incredible and fun on just a cheap old slider phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
just wish there was a way to save photos and video to SD card now..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] momulah:
Same here just crashes.. latdst pie update snapdragon n960u1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PsiPhiDan:
So are these pictures going to produce the same quality images as our stock camera? I always fear going away from the stock camera...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
all modes are working fine on my Note 9 running Android 8.1.. just wish it could save to SD card..

Here is a comparison shot i took.. GCAM image definitely looks less processed and not over sharpened.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Android_Nayeem:
Mind sharing your settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RockwellB1:
The gcam app is really the only thing that makes the pixel phones great, and the nice thing is all the processing is done in the app. You'll more than likely notice better images. The stock app still has it's place though for like the 2x zoom and stuff. But hell, some 3rd party apps are better than stock, just look at Open Camera as one of them. With night sight though or whatever Google is calling it, to me it just seems to be an extended exposure time and some processing, nothing really new. Just made simple by turning it into a button. Samsung is adding it to the stock cam so feel free to wait for that if you like.

Nice thing with android is the options, and if you don't like options use the stock stuff. If you're against even having the options in the first place though, go Apple. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
here is another comparison shot.. same results.. Note9 camera blows out highlights and oversharpens.. GCAM image is smoother and almost a perfect HDR image.. although it would appear to be not as sharp at first look due to Samsung over sharpening..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
this was the only setting i changed..

Advanced, Fixes, then change viewfinder format to YUV.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lexi250:
Can't you move the pictures from storage to SD card?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] le0.br4zuc4:
Page 16 has the one I used. [MENTION=8846595]Dalja[/MENTION] posted the link and instructions to be followed. Nothing else was changed by me. Everything except slow no video work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leonken56:
No, rockwell, night sight is not a long exposure shot, it s actually a combination of multiple shots taken at different setting to capture the dark area, the bright area, detail while stablizing the images, then process and combine the data together into a good image.

You will find that long exposure shot cannot be taken on our hands, the picture will come out blurry no matter what.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Actually photobooth doesn't work..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr. Orange 645:
Works fine for me. I'm not sure what the purpose of it is, but it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Hmm.. it seems like it's working but it doesn't save any pictures.

There are so many settings though..

Did you change any settings from the default?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr. Orange 645:
It saved my pics. I just changed the viewfinder setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Ok it's working but it still won't show the gallery photo if you click on it.

Not a huge deal as I probably won't use this mode much anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Alegalati:
My portrait mode photos (rear câmera) is changing The colors of The photo. Anyone facing same prob?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Alegalati:
Not The colors actually, but The original tones, wich was not happenning in The test2 version.

Thank you for The Awsome work!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:

I notice some are slower to process images than others.

Make sure you dont have it installed also under secure folder
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] oneandroidnut:
I tried it and compared to my pixel 3 xl. It is close not quite as vibrant and a little grainier but overall very impressive for a non stock/oem app!! Amazing dev work!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Did you guys change any other picture related settings? The HDR results seems a little extreme.. wondering what everyone else thinks or what image related settings they changed.

Thanks

Why I can't seem to see the difference between the night shot and the stock camera? Can you tell which one is clearly better?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TonyGzl92:
The one on the right seems to be the one with more light, specially on the buildings. To me it seems nicer
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] w2830:
The thing is the difference is so subtle that I don't know if it's worth the hassle of the additional couple seconds holding of the shutter button required by the gcam's night mode. I guess I was hoping for a more drastic difference
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edohoi:
Thx a million, it works on mine now! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
If you zoom in and look closer you can see much more detail on the building and the letters.

I think some night sight shot will be more dramatic difference than others. Depends on the scene and amount of light present.

I am just trying to see which are the best settings for the note 9 to get the most out of this gcam port. There are so many options to play with here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] w2830:
Please do share when there's results. I was thinking if I have done anything wrong within the setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gil Smash:
Take it when it's actually dark, like too dark to see. It's kind of crazy how well it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PsiPhiDan:
You have to hold the shutter down?? I took one normally without any holding of the shutter and I got way better lighting from the GCam. Weird. Was that just a fluke?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ErebusRaze:
I really onlg use GCam exclusively now except for video. Samsung processing is abysmal and low-light shots are blurry 9 out of 10 times even if you're standing perfectly still. It's ridiculous. GCam made the Note 9 king in my book.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Did you made any setting changes in gcam?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] w2830:
Apologies. A bit of misleading from my original post. It's actually asking to hold the phone still after pressing the shutter rather than holding the button if that matters. I just notice really bad hangs in the view finder in night sight mode. Hope it's just me doing something wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr. Orange 645:
For what it's worth, I chose Pixel 3 XL front and back and it all works just fine.

Would anyone be kind enough to provide me with the link for the most current working build everyone seems to be having success with? I installed what I assume to be the latest build from Arnova but it closes just after opening for a brief second.

Mine are green and grainy like that too. Played around with all settings posted too, no change. I was waiting for the next update if there is one.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Phazonclash:
Quick shots I just took at work

1st was shot with the stock Samsung camera app, in Auto mode

2nd was shot with Arnova's Gcam port + Night Sight

It's pretty dark as you can see on shot #1. Shot #2 with Night Sight isn't perfect (lot of noise), but the shot is usable and reveals many details missing in shot #1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Also notice that every shot is at f1.5 aperture and f2.4 is never used.

Hoping they can implement the intelligent switching like the stock camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gil Smash:
I'd have to imagine that'd be pretty difficult unless Google made a phone with variable aperture and built it in.

New version works nice and now we have slow motion and lens blur also :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr Pink57:
Could not get an option on my factory unlocked snapdragon note 9 to use slow motion just crashes device and lens blur works but there is no toggle for portrait or lens blur.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
It's in the settings.. just look
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr Pink57:
This is what I figured, for some reason I thought there was a toggle within the camera itself not within the settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] redlee90:
Sometimes when I start the camera it would freeze for a while sometimes it doesn't. Seems unpredictable. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RockwellB1:
Using the previous version and the newest, this is not something I've run into yet. Seems very very stable. All I had to do was change the viewfinder to yuv or whatever and it's been great. Only thing I've not tested is slo-mo since I've no use for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] frsh20:
I did a reboot before when I had that problem and it solved it for me. I honestly dont know which version I was using. What version of gcam are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] redlee90:
Viewfinder settings is the only thing I changed, everything else is default. It didn't happen to me every time so hard to tell why.

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

I tried both 1.2_final and 1.3. I haven't rebooted my phone for quite some time, maybe it's time to do just that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr. Orange 645:
I still can't get slow mo to work. I either just get a black screen or it just crashes. No biggie since the stock Samsung camera does slow mo so well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Is anyone using gcam as their main camera app now?

For daytime Samsung cam does have better dynamic range I think but pixel images overall look cleaner maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] frsh20:
I personally like the gcam images better than the stock Samsung and I've been using it for a couple months now as my daily driver, with tweaks and settings of course. I am fairly new to this photography thing and enjoy it so far but I'm just a techie kind of guy and I seem to have more fun overall with the gcam tooling around with night sight etc. It has been a fun experience so far with gcam.... even with all those force closee in the beginning. That's just my two cents.... happy new year!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] blacklabel2020:
Does playground with on the note 9 with this cam app?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pastert33:
Its AR stickers while on oreo I believe but yes, they are working on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] blacklabel2020:
Witch AR Stickers apk are you using and camera apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
AR stickers (v1.0.17) works on my Note 9 Oreo, but the camera image is stretched out making people look too thin when holding the phone in portrait mode and too wide when holding it in landscape mode.

Anyone else have this issue? i tried a newer Oreo 8.1 version but that didnt work at all

Is photosphere working on the latest version?

It's just coming out as a regular panorama image for me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Dynamic range is the only weakness of gcam on Note 9.

Here is a perfect example.

You can see gcam image is overexposed where the sun is strongest on the railing yet the stock cam app is able to expose the lights on the railing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
this post is from S8 thread.. so apparently its possible to implement aperture switching in gcam.. We really need this for Note 9

This version does work on Note 9 and does let you switch aperture from f1.5 to f2.4 :)

But there are bugs and hdr doesnt work for me :(

Can someone else test and see if they get same results? AR stickers, lens blur are all working great in this version also. No night sight tho..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andronikal659:
I want to share my note 9 config SD. All is working except photo booth and motion. I disable flaw detection and lower resolution to 1080p but still viewer lags so cannot do anything when motion is enable. Seems noisier than 1.2 final even though I compared all libs but then again maybe it's just my eye...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
Photobooth works fine if you drop the resolution.

But i would rather have the f1.5/f2.4 aperture option implemented from this gcam port.. then it would be almost perfect :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr. Orange 645:
This appears to be for Exynos. Won't install on my Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
I bought my unlocked Snapdragon Note 9 (SM-960U1) from Samsung.com and this below version installs fine and works... and has aperture switching.. we just need it in the Arnova version!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr. Orange 645:
Odd...maybe it's because I'm running Pie?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
oh yea.. that could be it.. im still on oreo.. but regardless, adding the aperture switching is possible.

its really the only thing that is left to make this a perfect port, and to use as a daily camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diexmax:
Friends,

I`m use this version;

https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun_2.apk

I uploaded the settings I use to help people get the most out of the apk;

http://www.mediafire.com/file/uhm845a4j8ixpe5/Configura%C3%A7%C3%B5es_GCAM_Note_9.rar/file

RELEVANT CONSIDERATIONS;

Do not be surprised to find PIXEL XL as a model in the rear CAM, in tests and according to BSG itself, delivers a higher level of detail and removes that yellowish film in low light scenes;

In my suggestion is BSG config in input and in this config, he managed to make the HDR + stay with the same properties of Night Sight (so much that when used this config, the CAM or suggest the use of Night Sight in dark areas) so if someone follows this recommendation faithfully, there may be little difference between HDR + mode and Night Sight. If you want to see the power of Night Sight, you can for example switch from BSG Config to Pixel2018 ZslR HDR +;

Saturation at 1.1 on the rear CAM gives a more lively touch in the photos, especially in low light, I particularly like. If someone does not like it, just leave it as default (1.0);

The LIBS Ezsdman V3 is my favorite because it delivers a frightening level of detail in the photos, especially in low light, but it also generates a lot of noise (GRAIN) in the photos. Those who do not like it can use the default (GOOGLE), but do not expect as much information in shadows as the other LIBS in apk;

There is a hack to enable OIS (optical stabilization) in GCAM. In video mode and night mode, you need to switch from the rear cam to the front cam and then back to the rear for the OIS to be enabled. In normal photography mode there is no need;

In my settings, when I did the screen print, I forgot to change the apk interface on the INPUT tab. You have PIxel 3 XL, change to PIXEL 2 so that portrait mode is enabled. It is worth mentioning that portrait mode only works with PEOPLE! To blur objects, switch to Pixel 3 again and use MACRO.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
instead of creating manual screenshots, you can just export settings to xml file from within gcam app and share that xml file :)

Thank you for sharing this research :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andronikal659:
Thank you for sharing your settings. Your night sight settings works really well even in complete darkness. Although I had to turn off " improve in low light" as it lags and gives pinkish / green color.

Photo booth only works with 6MP front camera. Not higher.

Motion photo force close camera even though you set front and rear to 1080p 16:9 yet left viewer processing both turned on?

Did you see any noticeable change between raw10 and raw sensor?

Also, do you have any issues deleting pictures and it comes back to Samsung gallery when leaving Google photos off? How do you fix it?
