Download links, version infos and all my settings on first page.

Only if you take photo with flash or take video parrot's gcam is best. for all other conditions onfire's(cstark) gcam is best. I prefer onfire's(cstark) gcam too. only attention this ; if on onfire's settings sabre is on, front camera doesn't take photo. But if sabre is on, back camera's photo is better.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmedegypt:
Does onfire gcam has the most neutral colors or parrot?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Onfire's colours are more neutral than Parrot. Parrot has vibrant colours and a bit saturated as i like.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gosha90:
I have parrot with your settings, stock camera is way better than parrot gcam.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Hi, I think there is something wrong you did. Also, even if you have done something wrong, the blur in the stock camera's picture you share becomes evident in trees and grass.

Everyone knows that even the worst gcam for the poco f1 and mi 8 is better than the stock camera except videos.

Parrot's gcam is already better in many conditions than most other gcams. maybe you try again or onFire's gcam with my settings. :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xLGNDx:
What about the latest pocoSv10.4 (san1ty)? I really like it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I continue to test all new gcams. pocoSv10.4 and others. I try to follow gcam developments including 4pda and telegram. I am telling you, by saying that the gcams I shared here are still the best.

Still the only gcam that can compete with onfire's gcam as sharpness in night sight xenius9's old version gcam : https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfi...5.191014.0907build-7.0.009_NG_x9smod_3.48.apk (please don't ask settings)

Still the only gcam that can compete with parrot's gcam on shot with flash marlin-ku's old version gcam :

https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_7.2.011_BSG_Urnyx05-v1.4_010.apk (please don't ask settings)

Unfortunately, for poco f1 and perhaps for other phone models, new gcam versions do not offer as good picture quality as before. I hope the developers will find a solution to this.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xratedownz:
What about new BSG update? 7.3.021
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:

On fire gcam crashes Everytime for me. What's the problem?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Please, clean install and after gcam installation clear all data of app on settings.

Apply all my settings on the first page exactly, I think there will be no crash.

Only attention this ; if on onfire's settings sabre is on, front camera doesn't take photo. But if sabre is on, back camera's photo is better. :good:

On the other hand, if you use Pixel Experience rom you must use app cloner and change onfire's apk package name and install renamed apk. Also don't remove Pixel Experience rom's stock gcam otherwise it may create problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] VeerAmrit:
Which version should I finally install on a custom ROM based on Android 10?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Parrot's gcam fully functional and OnFire's gcam has some bugs. But on many conditions onFire's gcam is better than parrot's gcam except shooting with flash and videos.

May you want to install both, i use both at the same time. :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] naeem86:
Hi, I tried using app cloner but i can't seem to install another camera app. Can you please guide me?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Already this is guide : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/how-to-duplicate-clone-apps/

Simply; if you cannot install gcam app due to the package name, install this gcam apk via the app cloner app. First select the gcam apk on your phone via the app cloner and hit clone icon. Then install the cloned gcam apk via the app cloner.

Note: If you're experiencing crash, enable the "skip native libraries" option under "Cloning options" when creating cloned gcam.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Brianrh:
Pleased with the results from Parrot's GCam but I noticed that if I change the zoom setting with the phone rotated in landscape the app crashes. If I do the same thing in the portrait position no problem. Am I the only one experiencing this?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I'm on stock miui 11.0.6 and I don't have this bug with parrot's gcam.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Brianrh:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:

BSG Port by Sreekantt (v7.3.20)

Thanks so much for sharing your extensive research and settings. Did you try Sreekantt's latest 7.3.20 build?

Would be good to know your findings on this one compared to parrot's and onfire's builds.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
As new versions come out, I find a spare time and do tests. I have tested bsg 7.3.20 version long ago.

Based on my experience, cstark's px gcam 7.2.010 and 7.2.014 versions work best on our devices.

But unfortunately there is no more developers that makes these versions sdm 845 microprocessor compatible.

For example urnyx (first 7.2.010 versions) , onfire (only one version on first page) and xenius9 did it before with good result. But now new gcam's results are not good for poco f1 since they don't use those first pure codes :(

Maybe at least one developer maybe hears our voice and helps.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] n00b_dr0id:
Good post, today I tried Sreekantt's and Parrot's with the settings you posted 'only in low light' and Sreekantt's one had better resolution and detail but needs a little bit tweaking with exposure to perfect it.

Which one is better for astrophotography? Parrot or onFire?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Parrot's gcam fully functional and OnFire's gcam has some bugs.

But astrophotography and on many conditions onFire's gcam is better than parrot's gcam except shooting with flash and videos. May you want to install both like me.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] darthvader0235:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1119/

Download the second one (com.qualcomm.saltproject2)

I found this to be the most stable version in my opinion.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Sorry, our goal is not to find only stable version. There are already too many stable gcam versions available for our device.

I also tested the gcam version you mentioned and I think Parrot's gcam is the best among the stable ones. But as i said before, on many conditions onFire's gcam is better than parrot's gcam except shooting with flash and videos. :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] darthvader0235:
Parrot's gcam gives me video recording force close. ??
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
So far, nobody using poco f1 and mi 8 has reported this.

Please, clean install and after gcam installation clear all data of app on settings.

Apply all my settings on the first page exactly, I think there will be no problem. :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Windoors:
I think out of all GCams, Parrot's one is best for photos at least, given you modify the binary setting libraries. its great that you can adjust those settings to reduce processing that manufacturer forces on you. however some bugs are:

- video stabilization doesn't work.

- The app also crashes if zooming is initiated using slider.

- portrait mode doesn't work properly but it seems common issue among all gcams

Sannity 6.2 is most stable overall, but doesn't have the "binary settings libraries" which is absolutely necessary. I found post-processing a bit high which can be adjusted using libraries.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] faiztarmizm:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] timbuctoo:
Thanks. There's a new version of the UltraCVM mod. If possible, please do test this when you can find time and share results.

APK at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-UltraM8/

Config (XML) files at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/configs-ultram8-02, but there's none for our phone yet.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I have already tested UltraCVM_v4 and PixelCam_7.3_V5.0 gcams.

I don't like using separate setting or XML for different modes. So I am doing my tests as a single setting or XML. For example, with PixelCam_7.3_V5.0, I think I caught a good setting in night mode, but with the same settings, the day mode is shooting badly.

There is still no gcam to replace the onFire and parrot gcams I have used so far.

Soon, I hope that the UltraM8, Urnyx05, Parrot, Jairo Rossi and other developers gcam will be better than we use. :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] timbuctoo:
Thanks for reverting

Again, thanks for sharing your research. We highly value your opinion.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Important Update :

On parrot's gcam for less grain and sharp photos change this settings :

Settings --> Advanced --> Binary settings libraries -- > ISO limit : 500(ISO200)

(my full settings on first page for new users)

I think after that in most cases my first choice will be parrot gcam.

This is incredible for me, indeed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edpocesar:
Thanks! This is the best camera app for me until now!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Thanks for posting your details.

I couldn't get Parrot 7.0.009 to work on the latest PE rom.

I fixed it by removing the gcam that comes with PE (delete the folder /system/app/GoogleCameraXXXXX), I did it so the new camera works with double pressing the power button, but you have to do it after every rom update, alternatively you can duplicate the Parrot gcam under a different name using this https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/how-to-duplicate-clone-apps/.

Then I installed the latest Parrot https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1154/.

Some settings are missing but it's mostly the same, tested the default vs. your settings, your settings were better in my opinion.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Windoors:
is there a way the image processing (libs? xml?) from parrot's gcam can be ported to other gcams? the sanity one has viddo stabilization but image quality from parrot is better
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Unfortunately, there is no way. Every gcam has own special config.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Windoors:
Once you turn on sabre and modify library to reduce sharpening and noise reduction, The parrot gcam produces very natural photos, especially with good lighting. you can zoom in fully and things look smooth yet detailed. if its well lit, you hardly notice noise. the resulting photos themselves are very efficient in terms of storage, they don't take up much space. very impressive indeed!

with other gcam, you zoom in and everything looks jagged and artificial, sometimes details are lost.

it will be very interesting to see how well parrot's gcam do with phones with larger sensors, like the new poco F2 pro or even the X2.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Hi, I can say that you need to set the Correciton NightSight value to the maximum time and must use a tripod with my settings on parrot or onFire. Also I do not have much experience on this situation, maybe more experienced users in here would like to help.

if you are an old parrot user with my setting, for less grain and sharp photos change this settings on parrot's gcam :

Settings --> Advanced --> Binary settings libraries -- > ISO limit : 500(ISO200)

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Sorry, I'm not a gcam developer. Also so many different rom has not been a problem so far. I think this is a problem of corvus rom and I would recommend you to send this bug to corvus rom developer.

I guess if you have stock gcam in corvus rom, I would suggest you remove it completely and try to reinstall the our gcam. And second; you may use cloned app.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmd gom3aa:
have you tried any of the new gcam apps based on 7.3? do u recommend any of them?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Yes, there is still no gcam to replace the onFire and Parrot gcams I have used so far. :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmd gom3aa:
even parrot's new one?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I guess I tested the parrot v3 one, if there are anything about picture quality other than bug fixes in changelog, I can do. But unfortunately there is no change except bug fixes on v4 or v5.

So there is still no gcam for me to replace the onFire and Parrot gcams.

As I always say, I am sharing my own experiences here to help everyone. I'm not the best and I'm not perfect.

Please share this here for all of us who have a better gcam and settings.

I thank everyone who supported and will be.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Windoors:
regarding picture quality, no differences were noticed between v5, v3 and the one that was originally posted in this thread when using similar library settings parameters. the library settings are almost unchanged in newer versions.

in v3 and v5, the zoom slider is fixed (it used to cause app to crash in the OP one). the hdr+ off still doesn't work in v3/v5 however if you turn it off, app doesn't crash now.

however, in v3 and v5, disabling google photo forces you to use gallery. the OP version allows the old photo previewer which was much better and quicker.

unfortunately, EIS still doesn't work
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamsiddharthmall:
Is there any version of gcam 7 and above that supports tweaking as well as EIS? Currently using BSG port. Everything works, but there's no option for tweaking settings. Tried parrot and onfire. No EIS.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Evgen_17:
The latest OnFire has EIS and tweaking options, but EIS is only working only if you choose the correct "stream" for video recording in settings "IMX586 QBC HDR Mode", also slow-mo will work with correct stream "High Speed". But the mod is still in development, so there are some bugs.

Also there is PitBulL mods, and the latest has everything you are looking for, but slow-mo doesn't work.

But as for me, i'll prefer parrot's FinalGoodBye version as my main camera app, others i'm actively testing and using from time to time.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
There is absolutely something wrong. Maybe you are using the new version 7.3.20 of parrot gcam, yes that flashing shot is a bit weak.

Shooting with flash Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye version GCam with my setting is better than stock camera and other gcams.

One Tip:

if you click on the screen just before taking the picture, the flash stays on longer.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I have tested onFire_3rd-form_7.3.020 gcam before and our existing gcams are better. Although I am not very hopeful, I would like to say my ideas about onFire_7.3.020_4th-form gcam that [MENTION=4825729]Alokhacker[/MENTION] mentioned, which is an upper version of onFire_3rd-form_7.3.020 gcam that you mentioned as soon as the test is completed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Today, I completed the onFire_7.3.020_4th-form gcam test and as I guess, the gcams we still use are much better. I think we should wait a little longer.

Sorry, If you have gcam and setting / xml that you think is better, please share it with us so that we all benefit. Thanks.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
The gcams I recommend do not have this lib. setting, but only new version parrot and a few other gcams have this setting. I know this is a noise reduction setting. If the setting is working correctly, I recommend the higher value.

if i don't know wrong like this: Temporal radius setting determines the number of consecutive frames used for temporal filtration. Higher values of this setting lead to more aggressive and slower temporal filtration. Lower values lead to less aggressive and faster filtration based on a small number of consecutive frames. Zero value disables temporal filtration. The default value is 1.

Hi!

I used Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye version GCam with your settings for a while with the European MIUI rom, it worked very well.

Yesterday, I decided to switch to LineageOS, I completely formatted my phone and installed the ROM cleanly.

I then installed the same GCam version and configured it.

The problem is that GCam crashes anytime I try to zoom using the slider. However, if I pinch-to-zoom, it doesn't crash. And if I use the slider after this "pinch-to-zoom" action, it doesn't crash neither!

Does anyone know where this could come from?

Thank you

Is switching between various modes (camera, portrait, video, night etc) in gcam meant to cause vibration in android 10? I've recently installed a 10 based custom rom where above occurs and it never occured on pie based roms.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Depending on Rom version Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye GCam may crashes if zooming is initiated using slider. Yes, if firstly you start to pinch-to-zoom, it doesn't crash.
