I get ur confusion mate, but trust me it won't make a very very huge difference...c because now days mobile cams have became so damn good, that any phone in that price range would shoot good pics and in many phones sensors r same like in poco n pixel so rest its just about how photo is being processed.... In that processing google is undoubtedly the champ but others like MI are also not bad..... It also depends on what you do with the pic once you click it ! Because according to me taking a good pic is just 50% work rest 50% is post processing to get what actually you want using softwares like Photoshop, Snapseed and Lightroom etc.

So if like me you are into post image processing using softwares than it won't matter alot which phone you buy....if you just want to click and share sometimes on social media then its a different ball game... Sometime ago Marques Brownlee of MKBHD YouTube channel posted a "blind smartphone camera test" and told ppl to vote for best pic. Poco defeated iPhone X, Note 9, and ended up at 2nd position only loosing to mate 20 pro. Because normally people like photos with saturated colours and lively pics and when we upload pics to social media the compression takes out some of the details. Hence poco f1 beats iPhone X.... I would highly recommend you to check that video is you haven't already......

Also i would advice you to consider other parameters apart from cam as well, if you are too confused on camera may be some other feature like UI etc can act as a deal breaker sometimes

@sannn111ty

Thank you for the lastest Gcam, great work like always....for next build i would like to give 2 suggestions

1st option to select frames, i wouldn't even mind if you gave option to select much higher frame number upto 36 like in ur older builds like MGC_6.1.021_XCAMBase_F1_v3

2nd In one of the BSG build ver "MGC_6.2.024_RazerPhone2_V1c" he has used presets to saturation as low(default), medium and high instead of floating point numbers. Can that approach be used ?? It would be lovely if combination of both floating point numbers and presets can be used..

Or wait for the version of pocof1?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Iliyena:
Wait for dev to release in this thread OP. The other release is made in a thread for one of the other phone models (K20 xx/Mi9 or such). Not the same cameras at all... Try and see. Takes 3 min max
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] S0liloqui0:
Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sannn111ty:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] r33fd:
You can just download and use both at the same time.

There was no conflict between latest versions from both from what I tested.

So you can try and than pick what you like more.

But imo they are about the same quality.

Many congrats to those wonderful devs for their great work.

Hey there!

I get the shutter greyed every time I try to change focus. Do I have to make something to get it to work? ?

Thanks for the thread!

Gruß,

**Edit**

Someone gave me the trick ?✌️

If you select manual focus (any value except "auto") you need to tap the screen at least once before pressing the shutter.

If you don't, the shutter will be greyed and you need to restart the cam app.

S O M U C H GLORY ???

first oft all: Thanks for the awesome work in this great app/mod that makes poco-cam so much better! [MENTION=9274840]sannn111ty[/MENTION]

I got a prbly stupid question: i edited a pic within the app (cut out a lot), then saved and realized that the original pic was overwritten, instead of - what I expected - being saved in "edited pictures" or similar...

Is there any way to restore?

aside from that, this would be my suggestion for improvement (:

I suppose, at that moment, it was about this app: click!

For S0liloqui0,

Still use v4a?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roursamajor:
Yes, I have v4a + the last release. Night Sight still better on v4a. Somwhow it chooses higher ISO and pictures are crispies than on last release. Still the noise is acceptable, like in last version. But this v. 9.4a it's really good.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RubenMMS2:
I'm trying all the Gcam that are available but the best is still the version from San1ty : GC6.2-Mi845-v4a.apk

Even the newer version of San1ty aren't better than this one, and for videos y allways use the Stock Miui cam.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thanhnvt194:

Try the Pixel Dreaming version of San1ty's gcam mod. Its been my go to Cam having tried and tested everything else.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kobra.shady:
Yes it was about that app but im sorry what is the name of the app ? Link takes to the pic of few buildings but what is name of the app its not mentioned there.....so can u please just tell the name of app....

Regarding the quality of any pic, yes quality depends greatly on the person behind the lens but hardware is equally important....No matter how good ur if I give u a VGA cam or old mobile phone cam of 1.3 MP u can't compete with someone having a pixel or iPhone..... Said that, in this case, he had confusion about which phone to choose, considering that all the choices r good in terms of hardware, and he won't be disappointed with any of the devices.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RubenMMS2:
For me this are the best settings after trying everthing. If you let the compress JPG on high the file will be 3 times less the file and there is no quality loss not even on 100% crop seeing it on the PC.. So there is no need of having bigger files with no better quality.

And yes the front Cam is set to Nexus 6P and the quaility and skin tones are better than Pixel 3 or Pixel 3a...

In night sight there is no better Gcam than this version

Thanks san1ty you are the best of all!!!!!

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] YC1818:
V4a have auto focus issue , just like the 9.3 . If you try tap to focus, then auto focus cannot change when you point to other object until you close the app or switch to other mode.

Furthermore, I don't see different in night sight. In fact 9.4 processing more faster n details.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] daun20:
Hey, I got a problem: When using RAW output, the front cam dng's have a greenish tint. This isn't too much of a problem since it's RAW and is easily adjusted - but could this be fixed somehow? It is present in both v4a and latest version, I used Input model Nexus 6P. Rear cam raw images are well balanced. It happens with Nexus 6P and Pixel 3 Input model, dng compression on or off, AI AWB on or off, night sight on or off...

Tried to open the dng files with Lightroom, Snapseed, default MIUI photo app and Google photos (all Android apps, didn't try desktop apps yet).

[MENTION=5138470]roursamajor[/MENTION]: You're shooting a lot in RAW mode. Did you notice that problem too?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roursamajor:
Yes, I confirm this, see pics below. The WB is tottaly wrong in RAWs of frontal camera. More than that, it's hard to correct it in RAW editor.

I'm using Lightroom desktop and even in RAWs of back camera I must intervene: I must correct hue for reds with -69. But the frontal camera WB is hard to correct. Luckily, I don't shoot too many pics with it.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Arditional:
Long exposure

In this (6.2.030) version the long exposure just doesn't work. Changing the shutter speed does nothing and photos click as usual. In older versions (6.1.021), long exposure only works if I don't set the manual focus to infinity. It works on AUTO but not INF. Any help? I am using a Poco F1.

Also, what happened to the ISO setting in the shutter speed slider?

Dear [MENTION=9274840]sannn111ty[/MENTION], just a stupid question. What could be the problem? Tried many different versions of this mod and those by other devs, but still get FC issue. Running the latest LineageOS and latest Vendor, unlocked bootloader. Is it because I don't use Gapps? I just wouldn't want that bloatware on my phone. Is there a way to make this amazing camera app to work without Gapps? Or maybe I need to install some libs or whatever?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] YC1818:
Not too sure about Mi8, but confirmed in poco, that's why sanity fixed the auto focus in 9.4 and 9.4a.

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

[MENTION=9274840]sannn111ty[/MENTION] can you take a look ☝?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JamesKinds:
Yes. You could consider micorg (https://lineage.microg.org/). GCAM definitely works with microg on LOS.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JJ111:
Unfortunately you need GApps or MicroG: https://microg.org/download.html

(just installing the "service core" is enough. You can even block all permissions / the internet access for it)

[MENTION=9274840]sannn111ty[/MENTION]: you wanted to make a version, which can be installed freely on any LineageOS (without the need of Gapps/MicroG), as an other Gcam Mod has. Do you still plan on doing so?

I would be very happy, if you manage, good luck ?

---edit---

Ah, someone was a little faster with typing the answer about microG ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yoreek:

Using F1v9.4a_6.2.030 I would like to say thanks to developer for his efforts. EIS on 4k is a big feat in my opinion. I found a few things about video which I would like to share.

1. Auto brightness / exposure is missing. Making videos come out dark or bright if lighting change in the middle of the video.

2. Full brightness display could be good option to have. I think it was present in earlier gcams.

3. I think half second video is trimmed from start and end.

The Latest 6.3 arnova works great on our device except that taking pics on hdr enhanced on front cam is slow compared to 9.4a and eis doesnt work

Guys, use it default, then test yourself the other settings. No one is tester for you. As the matter of fact, each user has his prefferences: one preffers crispy but noisy photos, other doesn't tolerate the noise at all; one preffers saturated colours, other doesn't.

EIS on 4k is a big feat in my opinion.

Requires more processing power and your phone is probably not capable of

===

1. Auto brightness / exposure is missing. Making videos come out dark or bright if lighting change in the middle of the video.

===

GCam is best for pictures , but not very good for videos in low light

===

3. Full brightness display could be good option to have.

===

It miss informs you about the brightness of your video so it's a bad idea

6. I think half second video is trimmed from start and end.

Then start the video earlier...

Gcam now does supports EIS on 4K on poco F1. Kindly read features in the OP section. I was saying thanks to developers for that. Snapdragon 845 was flagship proc of 2018, it's not that old. :crying:

With EIS on 4K, GCAM is better alternative to stock camera. I think the developer missed auto exposure in the edition. That's why I brought it up.

Actually full brightness option lets you capture everything at a uniform brightness and is an option in most cameras including previous gcams. If the brightness of your display keeps varying you wouldn't know how the content is going to look on a display with constant brightness (like TV or Laptop)

I'll keep your suggestion in mind next time.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Exclusive133:
So in settings of this app there are these options you can't change: Front camera quality-5mp Back camera quality-12mp. PocoF1 has better camera than these options. What am i missing?

What are you talking about?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pfavayi:
===

Gcam now does supports EIS on 4K on poco F1. Kindly read features in the OP section.

===

EIS is a feature of the OEM firmware or software...

APKs like Gcam can use the feature if it's available.

That's why such features can be on stock ROM but not on custom ROMs...

miui supports 960 FPS which you don't get on custom rooms yet.

===

With EIS on 4K, GCAM is better alternative to stock camera.

===

Recording in 4k and 60fps makes sense only if you have hevc enabled and if you intend to watch the video on big screen TV.

Otherwise the file will be too big to fit in your phone with h.264

many camera apks will give you the option to be able to record in 4k if your phone is capable of 4K recording.

===

Actually full brightness option lets you capture everything at a uniform brightness

===

Oh you mean the brightness of the video ?(I was confusing it with screen brightness, which is what I think you said the first time)

Video brightness is very low in Gcam. It's not worth using Gcam for video recording in low light. it's as good ,if not better than other camera applications in bright light, but in low light its not.

The best application for low light video recording I have found is mix camera

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camera.mix.camera

===

If the brightness of your display keeps varying you wouldn't know how the content is going to look on a display with constant brightness (like TV or Laptop)

===

the brightness of the display (your phone) is one thing and the brightness of the video is another.

I think you're talking about HDR and not screen or video brightness.

In camera applications like open camera you can choose to have a very bright screen. Your video will not be as bright as what you see on the screen.

I prefer to see the brightness of the screen being the brightness of the video so I can set the exposure settings to my liking, to what the video will look like.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Exclusive133:

Front cam sensor is 20 MP but due to pixel binning it's effectively 5 MP.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Exclusive133:
