Set HDR parameter to 7 for faster pics. If you think photo is too noisy, set HDR Autoexposure Correction to 1/10 sec (the closer to 1, the better the noise reduction but pic will be much slower)

There is no incompatible lib. All libs work on all versions on all phones.

Savitar has the best details but highest noise. Eszdman V4 has good details and medium noise. Stock by Google has average details and low noise.

I use Eszdman V4 lib mostly and sometimes Savitar lib. Stock by google has too much contrast, I don't like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RockwellB1:
Only issue I've been having with this is that I get a notification after taking a photo with hdr+ that won't go away. Before I installed the latest version it said something about processing the image, now it's just blank. Nothing seems wrong, the image saves fine. The dang notification is the only issue. Goes away after I put the app to sleep with greenify or something.

Actually, nevermind. Decided to give that beta six version a try instead of what I was using and the notification is no longer a problem. I'd just delete this post, but can't figure out how on the app.

Do someone know if it's possible to force to use 2.4 aperture instaed of 1.5?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GigaSPX:
I've been on the Beta 6 and it's been having this issue for me. I'm paranoid that this runs my battery down or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] waylo:
Only specific gcams with the Samsung camera api2 settings can do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RockwellB1:
Actually mine started doing this again today, on beta six. I just hibernate the app with greenify and it goes away, so I'd assume any processes as well. So if you're having this issue just force close the camera. Newer versions might solve it, but I ran into other issues so reverted to beta six.

Yeah be wary. Lots of people are experiencing green hue tint on front portrait and night sight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PuffinNugz:
Where have "lots of people" been experiencing that? It was only posted a couple hours or so ago on reddit. i was running the beta6 build from him for the last couple months with no issues. This one is even better.

edit: i saw a couple people posted on that thread after i posted it here. i don't get the green tint with portrait mode. haven't tried night sight yet. better than stock pics regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GigaSPX:
I downloaded, and ran both the xml files that does 1.5 and 2.4 aperature. Both night sight shots I've made still had green tint. Tried doing the suggested in the comments section, but still green tint shows. Plus, the details is worst, and not as good as what beta6 did.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Phazonclash:
Anyway, as mentioned before, the aperture setting makes no difference with GCam. Google's HDR/algorithms seem to compensate for the aperture difference
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
What you say is true only if you are using the HDR+ enhanced mode.. not regular hdr or non hdr mode... for those modes the aperture setting does make a difference.

The last stable gcam aperture switch version works 100% and takes amazing pics. Sticking with that one for now over the newer non aperture switching versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] waylo:
Which version is this, for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Joseph Gomes:
There's no point using Gcam without HDR+ Enhanced. HDR+ Enhanced is literally Google's HDR algorithm which makes picture look great.

Switching aperture won't take better photos than HDR+ Enhanced.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dieexe:
This is so accurate, I've seen many reviews and other things about GCam without using HDR+ Enhanced like wtf¿ that's the whole point of using it

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rahidz2003:
Question: I'm using the beta6 version (Snapdragon, Note 9), and am not sure HDR+ and Night Sight are working optimally. They take a shot, but in previous versions, there was a much longer delay (of 5-10 seconds, I'm assuming so the camera could take multiple shots and stack them), now it's instantaneous, regardless of what I set for Autoexposure Correction and Correction NightSight. Is this intended, or am I missing a setting somewhere?

Also, what values are y'all using for the corrections?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] adsam3927:
I second this....

But also have noticed that when taking portrait selfies with beta6.apk or any other version of GCam for that matter....the images are very noisy and grainy.

IF however I take the same selfie with Night sight...I can see much more intricate detail.

I have a Pixel 2 XL as well and when comparing the portrait selfies with GCam portrait selfies the difference is very noticeable.

Is there any setting for the front facing camera I can make in portrait to ramp up detail ( less noise ) ?

I have tried all the settings libs default standard settings...no difference or improvement
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Joseph Gomes:
You don't have Enhanced HDR+ enabled maybe?

I use 1/10 sec for Autoexposure Correction and 1/5 sec for correction Night Sight

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

Make sure you have HDR+ Enhanced enabled, change your lib to Eszdman V4 and set Autoexposure correction to 1/10 sec
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] adsam3927:
HDR Enhanced enabled & autoexposure correction set at 1/10...Eszdman V4 also set

Portrait selfies (in daytime) still blurry compared to NightSight selfies

Not sure why
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Joseph Gomes:
Tap on the screen to focus I guess? Gcam sometimes struggles with focusing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] adsam3927:
:good: appreciate your help..no difference

I think many people are just very impressed with Google's AI processing of the photo and the background blur that they forget to pay attention to the details of themselves in the selfie.

That's when you'll see the difference between portrait selfies and NightSight selfies
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] berfles:
I feel like I'm missing a setting or something, I just factory reset my note 9 and installed this camera app again and set it all up according to the reddit post. Before I did all this the night sight mode would consistently be better in ever way than the Samsung camera, now when I use it it seems details are blurred and everything is way noisier, whereas before literally everything would be better.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
yea been using that one for a few days now.. many of the custom settings have been removed so there is less you can customize or modify.

it doesnt take as extreme HDR shots as older versions because you cant select how many HDR images to use anymore.. but results have been pretty good.

Not sure if i will go back to my old version or not because of this.

in previous versions you could select how many HDR images to use to get a more dramatic HDR image.

I've been trying to find a mostly functional gcam for the note 9 snapdragon and have come across what I believe is the most functional & stable & reliable version out there that ive found. I Messed around with many settings and options, and not 1 crash yet. It lets you select which of the two rear cameras you wish to shoot photos with and records up to 4k video. It may not be the newest build but if your curious check out this site and grab the build.

✌️ ♥ ?

Just took the time to test quickly. HDR+ on IS nightsight. I used no flash & stock settings on both photos other than one had HDR+ Turned on and other didn't. I used snapdragon note 9 Build. Look at the difference, I can't wait to test more.

NIGHTSIGHT OFF (NO HDR+)

NIGHTSIGHT ON (USED HDR+)

IT'S ABOUT 5:30AM AND ROOM WAS PRETTY DARK. ONLY SMALL TV ON & STOCK CAM SETTINGS. I BET WITH SOME ADJUSTMENTS ITLL BE WILD. HDR+ AKA NIGHT SIGHT SHOOTS A BURST OF TEN SHOTS WITH DIFFERENT ARPETURE & OR ISO AND COMBINES TO PICK UP THE LITTLE LIGHT AND GRAB GREAT PHOTO. HOLD PHONE STEADY UNTIL BURST COMPLETES. CHEERS MATE.

One more...

HDR+ NIGHT MODE OFF

HDR+ NIGHT MODE ON

Great camera port I must say. My snapdragon note 9 was set to/using nexus 6 Shamu (Motorola) camera compatibility mode. Fussy to get running as I Had to install apk, then clear cache & data, & then I had to enable all the permissions, then reboot phone, next you set camera settings, and last you force stop camera & reopen it & it should run great! * * * * * 5 Star Camera!

... Haha just checked, that's the version I am currently running also. Best yet I agree. Cheers to ya!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Yep, Snapdragon. I honestly never had any luck getting any gcam apk to work on this Note 9 until now. No xml files to mess around with. Just install the apk alone and I'm getting the best night shots.

That's the setup for me: Note 9 stock camera for day shots, gcam for night. Best of both worlds.

have you tried the back camera for portrait shot?

using samsung stock cam produces more blurry background than the ones you gave, also normal camera mode and portrait on gcam doesn't seems to differ much. You can tell since the camera didn't change position from normal to zoom view unless its the lens blur mode? which is live focus on samsung cam :(

I was kind of bored so I decided to do some comparison shots between the Google camera and the Samsung stock camera to see the results. I started with lights on then went to lights off with G cam then went to Samsung with lights off and finished with lights on. In my opinion G cam still has a way to go compared to the dual camera note 9. I must say it was close and I don't have the steadiest hand as you can tell in the Samsung dark photo but if these were done with a tripod you would see that the Samsung on Pro mode with ISO and aperture maxed you will get a brighter clearer image. What do you think?

I used the G cam build that is listed in the very first post on this website and set the settings to what was recommended a paragraph or two below the link to the G cam APk

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RockwellB1:
It's not really about the Note not taking great pictures, it's about the fact that a lot of the Nexus/Pixel camera quality has to do with the processing done by the camera app. For example, here are two pictures I just took with my Nexus 6P and Note 9. They both look good, and the Note shows more detail in the dark areas, but the colors look much better on the Nexus. Think what the Note could achieve with the same app.

The Nexus photo is the one that starts with IMG of the file name.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] knuschit:
Technically it's the truth, the note 9 as a whole is a better option in my opinion but you'd be lying to say that the pixel camera is not the best digital processing of pictures currently. If you just want a straight up auto shoot camera it's killing all phones right now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] WaxysDargle:
if you sincerely need the best camera, don't bother with the note 9 and get the pixel 2 or 3 instead. the note 9 camera is actually rather disappointing and the GCam mod isn't that great either.

however, note 9 crushes pixel in every other way.
