Yeap, the version here seems v1 but in the official telegram has a latest v14. So I don't know if this is better than the other one :p Have you tried this @xda-dvlprs?

I am talking for v7.0.009, lol :p
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dayuser:
Okay, i misunderstood the point. I know got it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I don't use telegram and those who don't can't download.

My link on first page is parrot's 7.0.009.259843690 final version.

Also if you want EIS on video and also motion picture you can use only this version : MGC_8.2.300_Parrot043_V5 - https://gcambrasil.com.br/devs/parrot/changelog210621/

But no matter what setting you use other gcams for photo quality Parrot's 7.0.009 final version is better.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Retrial:
I just wanted to know if it's the same, I will re-upload to my AFH so everyone can get it. Thanks for clarification, I will add it soon.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SPLESHER:
Hey, I checked both GCams, and GCam you posted is different from one on Telegram Channel or on Celsoazevedo, Telegram's one is Dogfood edition (Dog food apps are internally released versions of apps for the devs to test themselves before entering the release cycle) and can't be installed on Android 12, even sizes are different

131MB vs 87MB
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I don't have telegram as I said before and where I got this gcam version link is in the description section of this youtube video.

The version in the link I gave is 7.0.009.259843690 is the final version, but parrot may have shared it during the development phase, I do not know. I've been using it for two years with no problems.

@Retrial I recommend you to share the apk version in my link, but if there is a different apk for parrot version 7.0.0009, you can download it and use my settings.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SPLESHER:
I did tests with Sanity GCam and that Parrot's Goodbye version with youur settings, here are photos taken with night sight, there was no light in that room (left is Sanity, right is Parrot), however i must say that in good lightning, pictures taken with Parrot's GCam makes less noise on image than Sanity's
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Retrial:
I've re-upload the GCam u have in ur links in my AFH because I want to have it as backup there in case the file gets deleted by the uploader. I added to my collection along with ur thread with settings. Thanks.

I agree that Sanity's makes better brighter night pictures but with more noise. Hmm :unsure:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
As I said before in the thread, since I don't shoot many night sights, maybe you can change the Correction NightSight value in Advanced settings to get a better night sight shot. Also in dark interior places, normal camera shooting with flash instead of night sight shot gives excellent results.

If you keep trying, you will see that not only good lighting condition also on night sight the best and clearest photos are taken with this gcam.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
In addition, if you shoot normal camera with flash without the need for night sight in a completely dark room, such as your room, you will see how successful this gcam is. If you see that I am right, please share your shots here so that everyone can see it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SPLESHER:
I tested every setting in Correction NightSight, but they just give black photos, while Sanity makes terrible but still visible photo, I will skip attaching these photos, but I did also photos with normal photo mode and with flash,

In my opinion Sanity's photo looks better even tho there is a lot of noise, letters on books looks better, and edges seems to be sharper on Sanity than on Parrot, I see them kinda blurish, but i'd say saturation is better in Parrot's

Take a look (left is Sanity, right is Parrot)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Thank you very much for your effort, but I think the parrot's photo is a bit blurry because your camera was not steady on shoot. maybe you can keep the camera steady and repeat the shot for the parrot and share with us if the result is better as I expected.

You can be sure i have done hundreds of different gcam tests, including sanity versions. Maybe you're making a comparison for night sight shots because it's important to you, but for daylight shots that most of us use, parrot is the best, as you'll admit.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nexur:
thanks for this.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] topbasework:
Which sanity version u use?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SPLESHER:
I'm using 9.6
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KurroKapp:
I'm using Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye version GCam on Poco F1 Awaken os 3.3 based on Android 13.

It's working great but I get an error while recording any video. It pops up in the first 2-3 seconds. It says Something went wrong. Part of this video may not be saved. It stays for like 5 seconds and that much footage is lost in the video. I've attached a screenshot below too. Can anyone help ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
May be different for everybody but for me, I think this is the best gcam 7 version by Parrot043 with the best photo quality with my settings. Unfortunately, Parrot's 7.3 gcam doesn't work on poco F1 now.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tapioco2000:
I've just tested your settings on mi8, very good results. In my opinion better than burial 9.1, marlin-ku 7.2 and san1ty 9.5
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I love that xda users help each other. I hope it will be useful to everyone and our active developers [MENTION=9274840]sannn111ty[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7042702]Sreekantt[/MENTION] will do better gcams as soon as possible.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] topbasework:
What i can say. Yr setting is great.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roursamajor:
Gcam versions are so close, speaking about quality of jpgs. RAW are almost the same in no matter version.

I tried so many Gcams and I prefer some of them for features and rapidity. For example, best in features and rapidity of focus and picture taking is still Gcam v. 6, especially sanity's and tigr's last versions: sanity's 9.6.6.030 and tigr's Reborn v. 5. Gcam v. 7 is, for now, too bad modded, that's why there is no version (v. 7) who has all features WORKING and the focusing and picture taking is much slower than v. 6. I need rapidity because I take macro pictures of insects and, there, the response of focus is vital.

Personally, I use Burial's ONLY for astrophotography and/or Night Sight, because v. 6 doesn't have it. In rest, I really didn't manage to see any difference in quality of jpgs between Parrot's, Burial's or Marlin's, or other v. 7 mod. All of these can be set to obtain good results. For example, for Burial's there are already different xml settings with very good results.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Sorry [MENTION=5138470]roursamajor[/MENTION], for now there is no other gcam with a jpeg quality as good as the current parrot's gcam 7.0.009 final goodbye version with my settings.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

I will try it on my Mi8 since they are very similar in camera sensor etc. I will leave the ois settings checked (Mi8 has ois) . Are the settings more for taking photos during day? I'm mostly interested in night shots using gcam. What changes need to be made-up so the result is also good during low light scenery? If for example I use this settings with night mode and auto flash will the results be good?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Yes, my settings is best for all, but if you want to a bit dark or light you can set Exposure Compensation to lower or higher.

Also [MENTION=4100766]tapioco2000[/MENTION] tested it on Mi8, and he says it works better than other gcams he's tried on Mi8.

thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
Yes i saw what you wrote about setting exposure compensation from +0.6 to +1.0. Will try it.

Until now on Mi8 the best results for night shots i had with San1ty F1Minimalmod, Urnyx05 v2.2 and BSG 7.3.018_RPII_v0f. Now i will try this version with your settings.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tapioco2000:
I suggest you to set AWB on pixel 3A XL instead of Pixel 4 XL, it works better with my mi8. During the day i use default miui cam, gcams works best on night or low lights. Parrot's gcam haven't auto flash on night mode, if you want that feature i suggest you marlin-ku's gcam. It's possible to install both at the same time, package names is different. You need that feature only in dark rooms.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roursamajor:
Sorry, but the "quality" of jpg is something fckin relative and irrelevant for people who really cares about Quality and make Photography not snapshooting. ;) Believe me, I know what I'm saying.

Having this in mind, and speaking about jpgs, I assure you that Parrot with your incredible :D settings it's not even close to tigr Reborn v. V at (for example) front cam pictures (no portrait mode, but camera mode) as detail's level. ;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I repeat, the gcam and others you mentioned are at least unfortunately so far worse than the parrot's gcam with my settings. I can not understand why he commented so negatively. I kindly thank and respect for your opinions and you may not use it if you wish.

I haven't done a detailed front camera test, but parrot's front camera also works very well. Generally, people are not looking for details on the front camera, they want beauty (retouching) and portrait.

Thank you anyway, i don't want to hurt you. :angel:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roursamajor:
Please show improvement differences in test pictures (100% crop) taken in same condition with Parrot and another mod's camera. Proofs not words. ;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I don't have the opportunity to share pictures because of privacy. Most tests were done in my office and home. To blame people as liars is very wrong, you are the opposite assertor and if you test it, you will see the results. You don't use this gcam if you don't like it, it ends. Also I didn't see you proving anything by saying that. Please don't be disrespectful to the people who test and agree with me.

It's not nice to hurt people, I will no longer respond to these claims. :angel:

This Gcam with my settings is the best for poco f1 right now, and also I will test new gcam versions and hope find it better one.

I hope it will benefit xda users.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roursamajor:
I didn't say a word about you being a liar. Don't dramatize. Lol. I only asked you to show us where are the improvement in quality: dynamic range, noise reduction, sharpness, details etc. These things are person dependent, each one like some settings: some people like sharpness, other don't. Some like strong saturated pics, other like vintage like degraded colours...

When a person claim something, for sure he/she have to add some arguments, as support of his/her claims. On the realm of photography, a picture is worth as thousand words.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] 7mesa:
If we apply the same settings in other Gcam versions , will it give the same results ?

The results with your settings are flawless , Thanks so much!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
No, every GCam versions have different settings. My settings only for this version.

thanks to you :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ketany1611:
is this port better than BSG's port?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Yes, this Gcam with my settings better, until bsg does better. I hope bsg and sanity will make better than this as soon as possible. :good:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wafumad:
Sir, i'd installed the burial gcam w/ your xml file but the EIS aren't working. Does this version support EIS? If yes, how to enable? I'm using a latest EvoX with stock kernel.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I don't use and test completely gcam's video generally. if there is good light Stock Camera's video is better than GCams. But if there is poor light Parrot's GCam is better than stock and burial.

As you said Burial's GCam doesn't have EIS settings. I think EIS is default ON but unfortunately not work flawlessly.

Please friends, I would appreciate if someone who could do the video and EIS test accurately enough compare stock, parrot and burial gcam versions. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tapioco2000:
for EIS i use San1ty's F1v9.5, i've cloned with appcloner. So it's possible to have 4 gcams: parrot, marlin-ku, burial and sanity f1v9.5
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmedegypt:
I think there is no better gcam than 6.1 with custom lib specifically xlib v2 xs. I have tested parrot version and it's way oversaturated and overexposure in a bad way and that with hdr+ enhanced. The only problem with 6.1 is that there is notification processing but it shows in Google photos and stock gallery app in miui.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PedroCaseiro:
What about MGC_7.3.018_Parrot043-v1.apk with this settings for Mi8?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Unfortunately, new versions of the Parrot's GCam can be installed Poco f1, but it does not work. Hopefully, he will fix it in later versions.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] topbasework:
Hai bro.may i know how to increase speed during press the button snap to take the picture.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Of course you can speed it up. I recommend auto adjustment in order not to disturb the picture quality and speed balance.

If you want to get it faster, you can choose how much you will compromise on quality by making the following adjustment.

Please try this :

For normal Camera mode : on Settings --> Advanced --> Correction auto exposure --> change Auto to 1/33 or 1/50 or 1/100 sec

For Night Sight mode : on Settings --> Advanced --> Correction Nightsight--> change Auto to 1/20 sec

If the quality satisfies you, you can try it for speed even though I don't recommend it :

on Settings --> Advanced --> Quality HDR+ : change 25 to 15
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] topbasework:
I try this setting.

But quality not satisfied

Nvm.Stick with yr original setting
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hemudon:
In parrots mod, Portrait mode is taking too much time for taking pictures

And it also not saving the portrait picture.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Poco f1 and Mi 8 don't have problem on portrait and also other mods. Please, you clear data of gcam app and give permission for saving. maybe this will solve your problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hemudon:
Sir I also have poco f1
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Also as other gcam portrait pictures is saving to different folders.

For example: DCIM/IMG_20200308_180406/00100sPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200308180406156_COVER.jpg

Thread Updated on 11.03.2020 for another good GCam. Thanks to onFire and [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]

You can also install and use two Gcams at the same time.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roursamajor:
So, in fact and lastly, you opened a new thread for Active Gcam ports and by that you managed to dilute the information who should have been concentrated. Nice job!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Hi [MENTION=5138470]roursamajor[/MENTION] , I had to open a new thread because only I wanted my settings to be easily visible without scrolling through the pages. The thread that you have opened is also very useful and thank you. As I said before, I don't want to break anyone. I want your thread to be alive and I want you to contribute to my shares with tests and comments. :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
Hello and thank you for your help.

Can the settings above have good results also with this gcam version of onfire:

:https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog918/
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I'm sorry, we are talking about different base versions of gcam. Both of them by onFire but what you shared based on marlin-ku gcam. thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
OK thank you. I will try your configs and the version you suggest from onfire.

Do you recommend any changes for taking shots at night?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
if you have tripod or steady hand and more time to take better pictures in night sight mode you can change

on Settings --> Correction NightSight : 1/2 sec. to larger sec. value :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikael1013:
Can you share your settings please?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PedroCaseiro:
For Mi8 onfire build is very slow taking pictures. I will continue using Parrot. Quality difference is almost the same
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
The onfire gcam with xda-dvlprs settings gives during day very good quality picture with good details and nice colours. The night pics are so and so. Thinking what to change except nightsight exposure...

Here few pics.

hi [MENTION=10547227]Payne83[/MENTION] ,

Onfire's gcam gives very good photo quality in all situations except shot with flash. The photo quality you shared good except nightsight mode. I think there was problem in phone settings/conditions on the night sight shooting.

First, please make sure all my settings are the same as the settings on your phone. Take photo with my settings and after change Settings --> Correction NightSight : 1/2 sec. to 1 sec. or 2 sec. and take photos again in night sight while holding phone steady.

Please share new photo samples with us, I think this time the night sight results will be perfect :good:

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
Thank you. Yes I agree about the night photo. I will try with 1 sec first and hold the phone as stady as I can. I don't use tripod since I want a solution of point and shoot, it doesn't have to be perfect result but as good as possible with this conditions.

Another question. What would you change in order the colours generaly to don't be so intense (saturated). That a question of a friend of mine that also uses this gcam that u suggested with your settings. For my taste the colours are very good.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I like this colours too.

however, if less saturation is preferred, saturation in the library can be reduced, but in this case other settings may need to be changed for best picture quality.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
on 22-03-2020, I have tested latest parrot's gcam I have been waiting for a long time to working in pocophone f1.

Also last fewdays I have tested latest gcam versions san1ty, onfire, the_dise, pitbull, marlin-ku, burial, urnyx05, burial and jairo_rossi too.

Unfortunately, Still picture quality of two gcams I have shared here beat all new 7.x gcam versions :(

I think all the developers are trying to make all the functions of the new versions work devotedly. Therefore they cannot concentrate enough on the total photo quality.

Soon, I hope someone will do better newer version that works every function.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
Did you compare picture quality of all this gcam versions during day light or also in low light and night conditions? For me gcam counts more when it comes to night shots. Looking mostly for a good night shooter version.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
I compared each gcam versions I mentioned above in different times and conditions with two gcams that I shared here as day light and night sight. I prefer onfire's gcam with my settings for night sight.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
Here is a new pic with Correction Nightsight 1 sec onfire gcam Autoformat.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/184784260@N08/49687830073/in/dateposted-public/

Have you tryed also the new version of San1ty? This one I mean.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1057/
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xda-dvlprs:
Yes, i tested this one and the last version of the others until 22.03.2020.

I think all the developers are trying to make all the functions of the new versions work devotedly. Therefore they cannot concentrate enough on the total photo quality.

By the way, as I guess, I'm glad that you can finally get the good night sight result with onfires gcam.

I would be glad if you replace the bad nightsight photo in the link you first shared with a new photo taken with 1/2 sec.

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Payne83:
