The device doesn't support camera2api level 3 so no point spamming developers, espcially since they aren't being paid for their time.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
Well it's true that A50 doesn't have Camera2api level_3 support.

But a system side developer can activate that.

It's not like it's not present as all 5.0+ android devices have that functionality.

It depends whether OEMs want to unlock it or not.

Like other devices, you can find it on A50 as well at android.hardware.camera2

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] deep7177:
yes without RAW support there is no use of Gcam. only good thing is the 4K and 60fps 1080p video recording.

I think the only working camera is the modded version of open camera which can take HDR photos that are better than the stock camera. But it is slow and only suitable for really steady hands or a tripod.

This is just an expensive basic phone for me, UI is lag but it's fine, games are smooth and have plenty of features

Dual, Triple cameras is a scam

12mp camera of pixel is enough

My SD 660 Mi A2 is capable than this and has far more better camera, each cameras are very useful, nothing is gimmick. It even has front flash

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cielorazzo_:
a shame that samsung does not allow to enable api2 camera. because they limit the users so I don't understand. the phone is excellent but the camera is lousy. At this point, with so much competition in the market, you should think that the cell phone camera is one of the most important points. Nobody questions the way that Samsung installs the software on the phone but if they don't allow modifying the camera they would have to at least put a decent pro mode in the camera .... where it was seen that a pro mode does not allow handling the camera shutter speed .... it's a shame I'm getting tired of waiting and looking for options to have a decent camera .. it's a shame that my impression as a buyer of the samsung brand changes and I go back to motorola where I could get some beautiful photos with google gcam. It is a shame that the phone that I liked so much and that I consider it to be high-mid-range does not have a decent camera or at least a decent pro mode where to operate the shutter.

This phone doesn't come with the camera2 api enabled (same with most low end Samsung devices) and the processor is also bad for GCam, so Penguin GCam, etc, don't have what makes GCam so good and popular. All they do is bypass Samsung's bad processing, but in that case I guess something like Open Camera would be the same and have less bugs?

There is one GCam Go that has Night mode, HDR, etc, working... if someone wants to try:

CameraGo_2.5_Greatness_Special-2 (Greatness, 2021-09-24, GCam Go)

GCam Go doesn't have the same quality as regular GCam, but works on phones without the camera2 api. The version linked above was extracted from a Jio device and, unlike most GCam Go mods, actually has HDR working. Maybe it's a good option for phones like this?

If it runs, test with and without HDR to see the difference.

Hi, I have searched lots of staffs related to camera 2 api on samsung devices. some of them tell that it is so simple. we just need to add a singgle line command in build.prop which it is a file in /system/ partition. I don't try it yet, I don't know is it work or not. In other reference like magisk module camera 2api enabler, I extracted it and looked the code, than I relize that this module also modify /system/vendor/ and other folders, which I don't really understand.

so I need somebody to clarify "is enabling camera 2API is just simply add a singgle line in a build.prop?" why don't we just download and unpack the original firmware, find the build.prop than work with it., repack the firmware into .img again. at the end we can just flash our new custom room with a singgle additional modification, which is a singgle line in build.prop...

I really want to do it, but I am not sure it is only about a singgle line persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 in build.prop
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Miftakhul080:

Meh....a camera dev already has got gcam to work on A50 by enabling cam2api using adb and is modding gcam for the same (currently WIP).
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shadow_khan:
Awesome! Sounds promising. I also tried many exynos versions from CelsoAzevedo website. Using the MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_4lens_V1.3.030119.0645-02d apk (posted on 31st March) with HDR settings doesn't seem to crash the app which was usually happening with almost all the gcam ports mentioned in this thread so far.

However the night sight doesn't work and neither does the portrait mode. Additionally, I'm not sure if the gcam from this apk is "actually" doing anything because when comparing the photos from the samsung camera app, I always found the stock camera photos to be better than the ones taken from this gcam port.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stark1296:
Did you enable cam2api? I guess not. So that's the reason behind night sight and portrait. Stock photos will obviously be better without cam2api.

He is working on gcam, he personally replied to me & told me to wait for a month as he's expecting samsung is going to push a major camera update, esp related to 4k n all. He also told me, 4k is working using open camera or any other 3rd party camera.

He also suggested me the video, but also stated there's a workaround for fastboot mode in samsung.

The guy is pretty busy doing some serious stuff and because of you now he knows I've created dummy account, atleast he was cool about it xo.

Btw, do you know this stuff, according to #SumedhShinde, my friend, Mali g72 mp3 on A50 scores higher than adreno 612 on RN7pro.

When i asked him how is that even possible, he said its due to BigLittle cores with HiAi bifrost implemented by Galaxy A50 for mali g72 mp3.

I was shocked as to how can Adreno 612 be weaker than Mali G72 mp3.

So he provided with his image proof wherein Mali g72 mp3 gpu beats Adreno 612 on Rn7pro.

That's the reason he said pubg is availbe [MENTION=376787]HDR[/MENTION] pre on A50 unlike Rn7pro.

I have tried this version of GCam mod on my galaxy A50 and its working nice though potret and night sight not working but all other features are working fine.

Portrait and night sight will never work in gcam without enabling cam2api.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Anjancse:
Though you have not clearly said what do you mean by "never work in gcam without enabling cam2api", Camera 2 API is enable in Galaxy A50 wilth "Limited" access which means The phone supports only some of the features of Camera2 API.

You need to do is download a simple app called Camera2 API probe from the Google Play Store and run the app. It will show two sections: Camera ID: 0 and Camera ID: 1. The first one represents the rear camera and the second one represents the selfie camera.

Result: A50 supports Camera2 API with "Limited" access.

Types of access mentioned below -

Level-3 – The manufacturer of the device has added some additional features to the camera hardware including YUV reprocessing, RAW image capture, and more.

Full – The smartphone fully supports all major capabilities of the Camera2 API.

Limited – The phone supports only some of the features of Camera2 API.

Legacy – Your phone only supports the Camera1 API features. So, no support for Camera2 API.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stark1296:
Sorry, my bad. Should've mentioned that. For portrait and night sight in gcam, you need level 3. If you enable it using ADB, you can try Arnova's universal gcam port; it will be mostly perfect.

Also, these ports are not force closing because limited support is there (at least).

Your phone won't get bricked just by enabling oem unlock & usb debugging. Just your security features are turned off.

Unless you give specific commands in adb shell, your bootloader won't be unlocked.

Neither you're changing anything in system/data to affect ota updates.

So the method in the video is safe.

The problem is, we don't know, does oem unlock on A50 enables us to get in to fastboot mode.

Because from previous experiences of S8 & S9, samsung devices don't have fastboot mode.

Just tell me how to get into fastboot mode, or any other workaround to connect to adb shell, I'll do it.

Stop posting about working on Google Camera Port for Galaxy A50. Arnova version 6.1 is working perfectly on Galaxy A50 but the reason why Night Sight and Portrait mode aren't working is due that Level 3 Camera 2API from the phone is not enabled.

We have to wait until TWRP and Magisk are fixed on our phone variant because most of the people are ecountering issues with the phone stuck at Samsung Logo. When it is going to be fixed we're going to be able to enable Camera 2API Level 3 via ADB Tools or editing securely build.prop

Google Camera port is working on Samsung Galaxy A50 but without Night Sight and Portrait Mode due the fact that Camera 2API is limited instead of Level 3. There is no option to fix this until we have root access and TWRP recovery on our devices.

So, there is no hope for the moment that we're going to have a fully functional Google Camera Port for our devices due the fact that we have Exynos chipset. If it was Snapdragon with Limited feature and changed to Level 3 that was perfectly fine and everything would work smooth but...No hope for the moment.
