3rd party gallery, camera lens selection, video slow motion and time lapse working?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] farsang:
Nice work, but front cam still needs improvement..kindly look into that..
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] q1pa:
Which config do you use?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] pirx666:
Probably a dumb question, but with Nikita gcam (7.xx), I have 3 lenses that I can choose from. Default and wide angle is working as expected. The 3rd one looks like a macro lens. In standard MIUI cam this is the 2x lens. In Nikita gcam this only works as macro lense not for far distance. Is this expected or should this be the work like the standard cam?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] farsang:
In miui 2x is zoom is digital and uses main lens for that. You have to choose macro separately in cam settings. Whereas in gcam 3rd cam uses macro...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ema93a:
Hi to all, I am new to Gcam. Does anyone else's night shots take a while to appear in the gallery on version NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0 with recommended taalojarvi-2.0.xml config file? Currently, whenever I take a night shot, the thumbnail on the bottom right disappears after 2 seconds of taking the image and I have to go to the gallery usually twice until the photo pops up. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] farsang:
Yes it happened to me as well...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] NotChinaMobiles:
Thats normal with an Lowbudget Smartphone wich has a wood CPU inside ;)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pocoflags:
Does it disappear from the bottom right access to the gallery but the photo actually appears on your gallery?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ema93a:
Yes, exactly, although I have to open the gallery separately from the app drawer or home screen in order to see the photo. The photo doesn't show up if open the gallery from the bottom right.

This behavior is seen most of the time but there are very few exceptions where the thumbnail didn't disappear.

See my video for clarification.

This was captured with NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_eng and ngcam_2.0_final_v3.xml I found here but the same happens with taalojarvi-2.0.xml found in official page.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
For me it works fine but you have to wait till final picture is processed. Wait for three seconds after picture is taken and then tap on the thumbnail to enter gallery.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pocoflags:
iirc I touched the gallery thumbnail and I believe it crashed on me, then I opened gallery normal and the photo was there and then the thumbnail would start appearing again. I had the same bug with that gcam.

If you're still getting it either you shall update, reinstall or just get a different gcam altogether.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ema93a:
Great, thanks. I've already tried clearing all data and reinstalling, it must be something related to the limited power of the device or this version itself. It's not bothering me at all, I just wanted to know if I was the only one experiencing it. I'll stay on version 7.4 for as long as it's the most stable and recommended.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] wael2:
Does anyone here know any good Gcam xml files or APKs? i've been going through here and there's too many options, currently im running Aurnova 7.4 with the supplied config from cyanogenmod.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] nikaki71:
Where can i download Nikita Gcam 7.xx,please??
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Master One:
See the attachment (not by me but from earlier in this already quite long thread).

Here you go: GCam Port: Nikita aka nickpl13 apks
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Old timer back with an X3 ☺️

I'm very please with ngcam that's been recommended .. as for night sight photos not appearing after they've been taken I tried a few last night and no sign in the gallery ,but they were there this morning , very strange indeed
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Master One:
No problem with this using a 3rd party gallery (Simple Gallery Pro that comes with ArrowOS 11).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ema93a:
Hey guys,

I've been using NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_eng with config file ngcam_2.0_final_v3 provided here and I have some bad news to report.

Video recording with the wide angle sometimes looks horrible. There's some compression artifacts similar to blurriness and pixelation on some areas as you can see in the following video. Pay attention to the brick wall and the bushes behind it. It's easier to spot at 4k but you can even see it at 1080p:

NGCam_7.4_104_V2_eng - ngcam_2.0_final_V3 @4k30 h265

This does not happen on the default camera app:

Default camera app @4k30 h265

I'm using default settings for Gcam except for "Store videos efficiently - on" although the same artifacts appear in h264. Bitrate is automatic and video stabilization is on.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Master One:
Please let us know if you come across a better config file for NGcam v7.4 or post yours if you manage to solve the mentioned issue.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
using google gallery go , it doesn't like lots of videos stored on sd card either
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
try turning off stabilization and set a bitrate of say 40mb . artifacts could be due to a low bitrate

Nice! 2x photo not working here. Slow motion video also not working.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Master One:
@surferbyter Nice, and hopefully at one point all the features will be working in Gcam v8.x, but until then I'm going to stick to NGcam v7.4.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
You tried at clear data and cache e reload xml?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
The most important things are already there and with better results than gcam 7.4 ... Only videos with auxiliary cameras are missing, but I can't see myself doing them if not one or two of this type per year. From my tests, the OnFire, even if recently born, is better in detail and noise on all three cameras on the photo side of the trCam and the ngcam. On the video side it has the google stabilization, standard, blocked and cinematic pan, the active does not work, but for videos any gcam still does not give the security of the stock because all and I mean all give videos with annoying micro lag.

How to adjust max hdr frames in camera settings?

Btw front cam result is much better than all previous ones...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
I downloaded and installed the apk, but when trying to open, it sticks on the loading screen with the small, white camera icon.

NGCam 7.4 V.2.0 & trCam still work like a charme.

Maybe GCam V.8.x uses some functions of libs available in the Google framework and fails in case they are missing? My Poco is running on microG, so this could be a possible explanation.

So is there anybody without the gapp framework installed, successfully running OnFire's GCam mod on her/his phone?

Any other useful hint to get that GCam mood running is welcome as well! ;)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Maybe also important:

I'm running ArrowOS, latest version.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
OK, I found the problem's source by myself:

I'm using XPrivacyLua as well. When enabling tracking, the camera works.

Anyway, that's pretty strange because of two reasons:

XPrivacyLua doesn't display any access to tracking when tracking is disabled, which usually should be done. This may be an issue of XPrivacyLua. I guess I will open an issue for @M66B .

Any previous GCam mod that I previously installed ran without enabling tracking. Do why this one needs it to be enabled??
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Is there already any XML file adapting OnFire's GCam mod to the Poco X3? Have I failed to see it?

The default standard settings are not that great. the first thing I recognized is that the white balance is horrible with AWB disabled - for example, the rear main camera has a yellow discoloration, slow motion and time lapse don't work on my phone by default as well.

It's also a pitty that this mod had no setup for using a third party gallery app, because I don't want to install Google Photos.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Master One:
Here you go.

That' what I just wanted to ask and a show-stopper for me, because I'm running ArrowOS 11 (VANILLA with microG) as well and I'm definitely not going to install anything else Google because... {see signature}

I already wanted to try OnFire's GCam, but without the possibility to use a 3rd party gallery I'm going to stick to NGCam v7.4 for the time being.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Indeed,I overlooked the xml file when scrolling all the pictures...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Master One:
With NGCam v7.4 (+ ngcam_2.0_final_v3.xml) in Settings >> Advanced >> below "RAW+JPEG control" there is an option "View RAW folder" which only makes the app exit the Advanced menu back to Settings or crash on a second try.

I'm using a 3rd party gallery (which works fine when accessing the gallery from the camera app).

Do I have to create a RAW folder manually and where, or is this not supported when not using Google Photos?

Because the description for "RAW+JPEG control" says:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkaboXD:
RAW folder is created automatically. Raw photos are in DCIM/Camera/Raw folder.

It takes JPG & RAW (DNG) photos at the same time
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Master One:
I thought maybe NGCam is crashing when clicking on "View RAW folder" because that folder is not there yet, so I created it manually, but it's still crashing.

Haven't played around with anything RAW, I was just curious about what's up with that.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jackeyy:
HI Everyone!

I just tried to install the gcam on my phone. Sadly I can not start it, as it crashes immediately. The app-open animation can be seen, but the camera does not even start.

Any tips on what might be the issue?

My Setup:

Poco X3 128GB

Lineage 17.1 freshly installed

no root

no google services

config is place in: internal/GCam/Configs (i also tried Configs7 as folder name)

I tried installing different versions, etc. all show the same result.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Jakob
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Alin45:
I am not an expert, but combo GCam (Google Camera) with ”no google services” is not a winner one :)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Master One:
Indeed you either need Google Play Services or better microG installed, otherwise no Gcam version will work.

I'm successfully running it with ArrowOS 11 + microG, because... {see signature}

You are awesome!

Thanks for the help, its now working perfectly :)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] DurandA:
I can only find downloads of pre-built APKs. Where are the sources of the GCam mods?

edit: Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think that GCam is closed source and the mods are patched binaries. Did any of the modders documented how they patched the original GCam?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
just an idea, but since these phones use the same 64mp sensor you could try using their xml files with whatever version of Gcam your using , might help :)

hi haha nothing just wanna check my status
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Howell:
Main camera is not really a problem but switching to other cameras with the correct parameters is. That's why nearly each phone has to have its own XML. Plus the implementation is not always the same and the settings of the captors can also be different...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
wide and macro aren't worth bothering with anyway lol , but worth trying different xmls , someone may have created settings more to your liking . I'm testing urynx 7.3.018 v2.5 with a mi 10 xml , noise reduction is a bit heavy but running fine. .

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Coolgreek:
Wim, where do we put the xml file? I couldn't find instructions. Plus, using onfire 8.1 gcam, by tapping between the cluster button and the front camera switch i get a "device out of storage" message.

Is Macro lens working with Nikita Gcam?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] newHere:):
Wow. there is a vast improvement with these settings and GCam vs stock camera.

Is it recommended to use HDR+ for daily use? Because the results are really good!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
To do the macros I use the focus slider in the main camera. Minimum focusing distance 10 cm. The subject is small and in the center of the photo but then cropping obtaining better quality macros than those made with the auxiliary camera and in which I have a large margin to adjust the frame by rotating and cropping without ever reaching the paltry 2mp.

How do you load the config file into GCAM?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
Test nikita xml v5
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
Copy the .xml file to the

/storage/emulated/0/gcam/Configs7 folder

from the gcam interface double tap in the black space between the shutter and main front camera change buttons,

in the window that opens select the xml and then update

HDR + is the strong point of google cameras ... Sure it takes some time to process the image. But if you don't want to wait, you can lower the number of frames so far 24 from the settings, losing only a little detail ..
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ollie2012:
Thanks for that, i had to create that extra folder, i have the three camera and zoom, but what s the vertical slider for? Focus auto, Inf, at 2m, selfie and macro?

Edit: whats the best option for HDR+ and where can i change it to maybe 5-7 burst shots to create the HDR?

thanks
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] newHere:):
I see your config has 48 frames... I think I will leave it like this and when I will need to take fast photos I will use regular HDR instead.

It is really amazing how better the camera become with GCam and HDR+
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ollie2012:
Sorry for Noobie Questions but how many frames in normal HDR+

Also where is the Gesture for Volume control please
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
If you want another solution I can pass you the clone working in the same way as the original ... So you can have as I do two ngcam, one with which to take pictures with a lot of detail to use when you can dedicate time to them, one set with smaller frames to use for point and shoot ...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsimitsangaz:
What about selfie? Very bad quality.... Any suggestions?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ollie2012:
That would be great thanks, a dedicated Run and Gun camera, and a proper HDR+ enhanced camera

Now please, is there a gesture, shortcut, floating link to volume control in MIUI12 without using the buttons?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
I don't use selfies that much ... Usually only when I have to take a group photo and I want to be there too. For that kind of photo you need a lot of details. However, for soft selfies there would be the MJL Miniqueta with xml dedicated to them

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

The clone I load it on mega ... For the volume control I don't know

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ollie2012:
How long do you need to hold still to take 48 shots?

And how many shots for the clone?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
In the clone I use 24 frames ... With 48 it is not a matter of time but it is rather the risk of micro blur ... Even if the ngcam has excellent stream config. Image stabilization simulations that reduce the risk of micro blur in both high-speed HDR + and night photos
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ollie2012:
Well it kinda helps to know how long you need to tell your subjects to hold still for!!!??
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] newHere:):
Thanks :)

Isn't it easier just to change the XML file instead of installing cloned APK? :p
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ollie2012:

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] wimstefan:
Not sure if you mean me but I have the answers to your questions:

1. put the Xml file into /Gcam/Configs8/

2. you have to give onFire complete access to all files and media
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Howell:
I have the same message (and am searching how to solve it too and giving access right does not work...) but you can still load the XML anyway in the parameters / advanced parameters / XML config / Load XML.

Edit : I solved the problem by deleting the GCAM folder and recreate it with the folder Configs8 inside containing the given XML.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Coolgreek:
Thanks for the answer. However, in my case, none of the above methods work. Making a new folder doesn't, there's no load xml options on settings and i can not save a xml file myself (gives a permission error). I have given the app all available permissions, tried uninstalling it and then installing it again... Nothing seems to work. Maybe it's due to android 11 update i have done...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Howell:
I use Android 11 (Pixel Experience Plus) so that's probably not Android 11 fault.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
tbh i think the photos with onfire come out a lot blurrier than on any other version of gcam ive tried
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
I had exactly the same problem as described by you: Double tap resulted in an "out of memory" message, no load option for XML files, folder recreation didn't work... - and I'm also on android 11.

For me, setting some more detailed permissions - offered by Permission Manager X - to "yes/allow " worked fine. Maybe you should give that tool a try.

Unfortunately, I hadn't had the time to configure out which permission(s) is/are the important one(s). I just set all permissions related to any r/w access to "allow", to see if it works in any sort.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Anyway, as said before, it's a pity that Arnova's GCam mods don't have the chance to use any third party image viewer, but can only use Google photos.

Is there any way to fix that?

Maybe some kind of fake "Google photos" app that redirects the call to any other image viewer app, for example...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Coolgreek:
That actually worked... PermissionX is a fine tool, just a bit confusing setting up and getting adb access (no root here). But it did the job. Onfire 8.1 gcam must have something related to it's libraries though as other gcam ports work fine without it!

Once again thanks for the answer!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
have you tried google gallery go, very lightweight and from google too
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] f4lkon:
Just set MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to Allow. Thats enough.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I'm using NGcam with taalojarvi's config, but I feel like the stabilization isn't very effective. Does activating the Optical Imagem Stabilization help in any way, knowing that the phone does not have OIS?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
For me, stabilization is perfect with NGcam 2.0 and latest Urnyx05 (7.3.018 v2.5). I shared before an xml, but I have a new one with some changes that I can share again and video is perfect and stable with it (at least for me with latest official MIUI).

​
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Thanks for your suggestion.

But the point is that I don't want to use any Google photo gallery tool at all. I'm really happy with Simple Gallery, which I have used long time before using ArrowOS (even on other phones).

So what I'ld like to have is a workaround for using Simple Gallery (or even any other third party gallery, in case I'm going to change my mind one day) as the photo viewer in those GCam mods that doesn't support third party viewers by default.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
As far as I know only Nikita in ngcam 8 implemented third party gallery support. So it's up to the dev :) Technology and know-how is there.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
What a difference! Thanks a lot mate.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
You're welcome! As we said before, to use the video from the front camera you have to disable the EIS and to achieve good and stable video with the wide angle you have to change the stream config to Video EIS instead of EISV2. You can save an xml for every occasion.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rubep:
Thank you for your config file (ngcam_2-0_final_v4). I tested it and I really like it. Just one small note.

Thanks to sharpening, it seems to me that the photos are postprocessed too heavily.

Is it possible to reduce sharpness, either by a new config file or by a proposal what parameter to change?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
I've have used just a little bit of sharpening, from 1.0 (default) to 1.375, my chosen setting, it's an option widely used and I thinks that it helps to get more vivid and bright pictures; and of course, you can change it very easily at the default libpatchers from the different lenses.
