Which gcam app are you using to get night sight working???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gilley:
For those of you who have had previous samsungs, do you ever get all the options ported over from GCam? If so how long does it usually take?

Guys, test 2 is working for a lot of people..even snapdragon Canadian phones. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Phazonclash:
Yep, the best part about that build: Portrait mode (Front and Back) now works perfectly, without any viewfinder lag (and most of the other stuff too. Lens, Photosphere, Panorama, Top Shot, etc. I don't know about Super Res Zoom though, but we have 2x optical zoom anyway with the stock camera app)

The only two things still missing: Night Sight & Advanced HDR+ are still broken (and if they ever figure out how to make it work, I'll never say again "I love my Note 9 but I miss my Pixel 2 XL camera")
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jmk32:
Confirming the new GCam MGC_6.1.021_V1d-Advances+_test2.apk is working pretty well on Note 9 snapdragon. Nice to have portrait mode finally working on front and rear camera. Hopefully night sight will work soon.

Phazonclash, how do you get Top Shot? Is it part of that motion setting? Having motion on was crashing my picture preview screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RGardner:
This one just keeps closing on me... Even after clearing cache, I'll open it and it'll close two seconds later.

Damn you Samsung

Test 2 is working perfectly on mine as well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RockwellB1:
Add me to the list of those who has "test 2" working perfectly. As said, just need night shot and enhanced hdr. Everything else is great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shagy38:
Portrait works on mine until I use the flash
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] knuschit:
Because the pictures are processed 100x better with the app, live focus (portrait mode) on Gcam has damn near perfect edge detection on the front cam which no one can say for the note 9. Pretty soon we will have Night Mode since it's app-controlled which Samsung doesn't have. Your question is weird because it's like asking "Why use textra\android messages\chomp when you can just use stock" or "Why use Nova when you can just use Samsung Themes". The beauty of android is we have the choice to use these things, it's weird that you have a stock mindset when android as a platform wasn't built for that.

Remember this version works in Note 8 Snapdragon.

Test 2 working properly in my Note 9 SD. I hope HDR+ E works soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludeape:
sorry if this is a stupid question but does the google camera port replace the stock camera in the Note 9 or can i still have both to switch back and forth if needed.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lfred01:
You get both
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr. Orange 645:
I don't see the point in this...if you don't want the Pixel camera, then why post in this thread?

The camera software is literally the ONLY thing I like about the Pixel. In every other aspect, the Note 9 is superior. In my opinion.

I don't NEED the Pixel camera, because as you said in your other post, I could just do some post pic processing. But that's counterintuitive to your post, since you said simply downloading and installing the GCam app ONCE is too much trouble, yet you suggest post processing after every pic to achieve the same results.

The other point is that it's just fun to port things from other phones. My wife loves when I send her portrait mode selfies. She likes the way they look better than regular selfies from the Note 9 camera.

I'm glad you're happy with the Note 9 camera. I am too! I think it's an amazing camera, and I use it 99% of the time. But I also want to eek a little more performance out of the hardware with the GCam software, and take some nice portrait mode selfies. And when Night Mode comes, I'll use that, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KingVekxin:
The fact any of you really felt the need to respond to a comment I made way back in September is astounding ?? good Lord that's terrible. If you're content and happy with it don't waste time responding to an old comment made about currently half baked software...

When it's fully functional with all features and no crashes yeah I'd probably try it myself. But as for now my 9 running pie has a flawless front camera and flawless live focus on the front camera is simply gorgeous. I actually love taking selfies again and they look stunning at night as well.. the rear camera is great in all sorts of light with no grain.

I've been with Android since the start and won't be leaving the platform in any foreseeable future. No need to tell me what "Android was and was not built for". We used to completely turn our phones into other devices dang near back in the day so don't tell me about some app that's being ported bit by bit, or stock vs downloaded. Been there, done that. I know what's on both sides of that fence.

Guys, I'm thrilled to let you all know that we have got the fully functional and stable version of google camera for S9/ Note 9 ( tested on my Snapdragon Note 9 US , Android Oreo 8.1 )

With HDR+ enhanced, portrait, night sight ( you read it right NIGHT SIGHT) WORKING LAWLESSLY AND FAST

All credit goes to Arnova8G2 and his team of peoples working HARD on this project.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Phazonclash:
Confirmed working on my Canadian Note 9 (Snapdragon, 8.1), including HDR+ Enhanced and... Night Sight!

The only thing not working, and it doesn't matter at all considering the stock Camera app is better for this: Slow Motion (it causes the Gcam app to FC)

and

I can't confirm if Super Res Zoom works or not (but once again, the stock camera app is better with its 2x optical zoom support)

That build is like an early Christmas gift :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnpjackson:
Is this for Oreo or Pi? I'm on the SM-N960U1, running Samsung official One UI beta. This release of the app installs successfully, and then it asked for 4 permissions at launch. After that, it just crashed. Subsequent launch attempts now just crash immediately. Any tips on getting it to work? ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leonken56:
I'm on Oreo with the Snapdragon version, I think exynos should work too according to arnova8g2's post

Have you tried clearing cache and data in the app info ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bobby_digital234:
I'm on a note 9 att and my exposure seems to be all messed up in all modes. Is there some configuration needed?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cFLydAMUWgwazjCQWj5G6g2hdl-qiDTP/view this works for me on Pie Beta

Once installed you have to go to Advanced, Fixes, then change viewfinder format to YUV.

Yeah.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] le0.br4zuc4:
This version doesn't work at all for me. Just FC before it even opens... I'm sure the reason is because I'm using One UI. I have found a version from Arnova8G2 as well the only thing not working is night sight.

One UI is really good but this post almost makes me flash back to 8.1 just to use this camera and night sight lol

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

Night Sight working too?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jmk32:
Everything is completely washed out and green on these settings on Note 9 snapdragon. Any other settings that will fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dalja:
Yes, HDR+ Enhanced, Portrait Mode, and Night Sight are all working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnpjackson:
I should have mentioned I've got a Snapdragon Note9, if the model number doesn't indicate that.

Also, I have no opportunity to go into advanced settings for the app to change anything, since it crashes immediately after launching and showing an icon of a camera in the center of the screen for just a moment. Clearing its cache and app data makes no difference.

It's weird because if it's launching for other people, why wouldn't it launch for me? I have an unlocked version of the device, purchased direct from Samsung. Is that the same as people who have it working, or are they on carrier based versions?

No matter what, I'm really looking forward to the capabilities of this app, which Samsung just doesn't provide.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] le0.br4zuc4:

Hmmm... My pics come out....... green. What am I missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jmk32:
Mine were coming out green too, until i saw this post for 2 settings you need to change:

The formats that absolutely must have for gcam

viewfinder : YUV_420_888, JPEG*

Image processing : RAW_SENSOR, RAW10

Normally the HDR+ enhanced works for Samsung snapdragon :

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RGardner:
Thanks... Yeah, I had set all that from the settings that were supplied before I shot a photo.

So I just cleared data and cache, reapplied settings, and it's fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnpjackson:
This one you've linked is an Exynos build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dalja:
that's not matter, it works on snapdragon. Well, it works for me on my Snapdragon Note 9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnpjackson:
Do you have the link to where you obtained this build from?

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

When you say you have this running in Pi beta, do you mean Samsung's official One UI beta version of Pi? Or one of the unofficial Pi beta releases that got out previously from then?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dalja:
I get it from Arnova Thread https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78473742&postcount=729

I'm running latest Pie Leak U1CRLJ (N960U)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnpjackson:
Ok cool, this build DOES launch and run on my Note 9 SM-N960U1 Spandragon running official One UI beta release 2 :)

Now I'll see what I need to do with settings changes to make it work properly. Thanks for your helpful answers to my question! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dalja:
Np, try this: go to Advanced, Fixes, then change viewfinder format to YUV.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnpjackson:
Yup, I did that first. And the app worked completely, from the start! :)

I didn't have to change any other settings.

I wonder why a build for Exynos even executes on a Snapdragon architecture? It makes me wonder why there are two different builds being done for the two architectures at all, for any apps. There must be a reason, I'm sure :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gil Smash:
It is very strange. Snapdragon on One UI doesn't work but Exynos does haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Android_Nayeem:
Gcam or just the OS?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bobby_digital234:
You need to change the setting for sensor type I had the same issue. Put it to yum_xxxsomething or other

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gil Smash:
Sorry using the most current GCam version for Snapdragon does not work on my Snapdragon Note 9 running One UI. The Exynos version strangely does work however.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PsiPhiDan:

Night Sight is freaking awesome and having it on my (much better) Note9 makes me not care at all about the Pixel3 now! Hahaha.

Thank you, developers!!

My brother in law has a Note8 and wants Night Sight. I just showed him how awesome it is on the Note9. Where is the download for the Note8 with Night Sight? I looked and cannot find it on XDA or Reddit. You seem to be aware of it though. Could you help me out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ErebusRaze:
Arnova single handedly the Note 9 the best phone in the planet with this port. Our only bottleneck was the godawful camera software. This port alleviated that issue. No more low-light camera blur!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Din1905:
Hello, I have a friend who has a Pixel 2 XL. He had rooted it and was trying to unroot so he could download Android Pie OTA and somehow accidentally locked the bootloader. He isn't able to go into recovery mode at all, and when he tried it gives him an error code "No OS found". He thinks this has hardbricked his phone but he is able to turn the phone on. It just won't let him flash a factory image. [I am going entirely by what he's told me. I've never rooted or unrooted a device so apologies if I messed up any of the terminology]. Is there anything he can do to fix his phone at this point?

P.S. I tried to contact Google to see if the device could be RMA'd. However, they said they cannot because it has been rooted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Triscuit:
Will it boot into fastboot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Din1905:
I just checked with him and he says yes. But he says he can't root because he can't unlock the bootloader.

He also says it's not TWRP ready and the "enable OEM unlocking" option was unavailable prior to the phone bricking.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
Fatal error was relocking the phone when not bone stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Din1905:
Yes, I believe he did it by accident. Is there anything that can be done to reverse it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Short of returning it for an RMA, most likely not. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Din1905:
Alright :( might just have to end up trying that. Thanks everyone for responding. Although if anyone can think of any solutions please feel free to still respond!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
Hello :)

I've got some strange and somewhat tough questions or maybe not?:

1. I've seen a lot of POCO F1 photos and I'm not exactly sure if it has a good body around it so that I could not touch the screen by accident with that hand which is holding the phone while the other is writing SMS. If You need a comparison Samsung S5 and A8 2018 was good at it and they are what I would like the POCO F1 to be.

2. Is the awsesome CPU the only good pieace of hardware in that phone. How about RAM and storage speed?

3. Will POCO br treated like Mi phones or like Redmi phones?

4. How many Android upgrades wil it receive?

5. Is it Project Treble fully compatible?

Thanks and please reply what You think
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
The SD845 is not a CPU, it's an SoC comprised of many components. This includes Kyro CPU clusters, DSP, Adreno, x20 modem, LPDDR4x support (RAM), and UFS 2.1 support.

Third & fourth question is impossible to answer, the company hasn't made a formal promise. This phone will cannibalize their sales, so who knows.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
Sorry, it's a SoC, too much IT around me xDD.

Can You tell me what do you mean by saying that this phone will cannibalize their sales? (My English is bad)

How about question no 1?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] theaxis01:
Why would u buy one of their 20+ phones they have available now, when this one is so cheap?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] selvarajrajkanna:
To answer the unanswered questions

Poco f1 will be treated like a poco phone.

They promised Android pie.

Any phone that comes with android 8 pre installed should be 100% treble compatible.

Peace ✌️
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
Which questions?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] selvarajrajkanna:
Last two
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
It's complicated, sorry my Friend.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] SingularityHRT3:
1. I don't think that will be a issue during normal use... It will be issue in any phone of You use it without a proper grip or while typing and holding with the same hand...

2. In simple words RAM and storage should also be really Good... Overall performance of this device will be really Amazing so need not worry about RAM or storage speed bottleneck...

3. It will be totally different from Mi and Redmi... Poco will be independent in software and development while sales and services will be carried out by Xiaomi...

4. That's a question that needs time to be answered but since it is independent from Mi and Redmi, it should atleast get 2 (Android P and Q) android version updates (in My view) but it will surely get Android Pie as it was announced... MIUI update should be coming for it for atleast 2 years (usually 3)...

5. Since it is released with Android Oreo, it is Treble Enabled...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
Wow, thanks, You're knowledge is amazing!

Are You a Dev?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ruvy:
1. Poco F1 is amongst the many other phones which boasts of so called "bezel less" body. So clearly your question may be asked for any such phone.

2. Apart from CPU, POCO has a very good GPU, LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.1 Storage. So no it's just not the CPU alone.

3. POCO will be treated like a separate phone series and we might see POCO F"2" in coming days. (Realme 1 followed by Realme 2).

4. Pie has been promised by Xiaomi and the phone might just see Android Q as well. Cannot really comment on that.

5. Any phone launching with Android Oreo or later out of the box has to be Project Treble compliant so YES.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] SingularityHRT3:
Nope... Just another person like You who does a lot of research to gain some knowledge... You will soon be way Better than Me...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sanjay0501:
2. Apart from the latest generation SOC, the ram and storage is also top notch. It has lpddr4x ram and UFS 2.1 storage so pretty fast and latest gen again.

3 & 4. With kernel source already released, camera2api enabled by default and bootloader unlocked who cares about company software support. We have excellent devs who will make this device fly for a long long time, incidentally the company has promised android P update in the 4th quarter and android security updates regularly.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
WOW Thanks of thinking of me so high but with all do respect I have to disagree. Doing reaserch is not enought to become an expert. In my opinion You have to do some practise: configre many different phones, flash custom roms, service phones, try different apps and be an accual DEV.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] watsinaname:
Agree to that, the rounded edges at the bottom area were certainly unnecessary, so far this is the first annoyance with the phone
