That's strange, I have 7 Gcams installed and they all work perfectly with Xiaomi.eu 12.0.7.0 too. I´m gonna attach my configs for you to try. My installed mods are Nikita, Arnova 7 & 8, Urnyx, BSG, Tigr and Burial.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rezanp:
which one you consider the best or your main use?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
Nikita's final Ngcam 2.0, no doubt!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Firnefex:
Don't know why (maybe a biterror), but now Nikita works for me too! :)

The sharpness is really way better than stock camera and all the other gcams.

For what is this slider on the left (Auto/Inf/2M/Selfie/Macro)?

I guess for optimizations, but is Macro and 2M not the same? Which one is for ultrawide? INF=Infinity for better Astro?

About the Astro, there are max 8s, 16s and 32s, but it always shows randomly 1-6 minutes and creates the foto in about 5 seconds regardless of the timer chosen. Is this normal behavior and can I still shoot a nightsky full of stars with this little time (on my mothers RMN9s it tooks at least 20-30 seconds to get better results)?

Xml update for trcam ...

Fixed libpatcher settings for wide angle camera
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
Try in Advanced Options to raise the values for Shasta Factor and ISO to maximun, maybe that works for better night mode as it will give you more time to capture.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
ISO to maximum? You need to lower ISO (I set it to max 500) in order to get longer exposure and better quality pictures. Limitation is that the object has to be still and better to use tripod.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Black_ice_Spain:
the apk is the latest arnova gcam

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1329/

Config is his work, so I don't want to reupload it, look for arnova7.4.104_pocoX3_v.3.zip in this link

https://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1567173&page=3

<-- 0.6x and macro are swapped, I just changed the icons in mod settings after loading the app :)

He tried to put those settings on the APK I was using, but I like arnova results more (looks more similar to what my eyes see).

Daylight photos are OK even with stock cam (I think a little less detail than gcam but nothing really bad), but nighttime, even without night mode, difference is huge.

PS: One thing I dislike is that our phone in 16:9 crops the image so ****ing much (actually uses half the megapixels), I like stock camera resolution better, so if you care about megapixels, you should use 4:3 + manual cropping :)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] jassu:
Why in ever gcam version front cam has bad quality
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Black_ice_Spain:
I see it quite normal here, i mean similar to stock, what you mean by bad quality?

Anyways all gcam versions come from the same roots, so unlikely to get fixed :silly:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] jassu:
Do you have sample selfie?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Black_ice_Spain:
well, not selfies (not uploading a photo here xP), but check these photo images, for me they look similar (brightness is different in stock tho)

2mb photo is google photo, 6mb is stock

resolution is much smaller tho

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] tariqqadri:
Poco x3 has 64mp back and 20mp front but reality they take 16mp and 5mp photos. 64mp and 20mp mark is achieved by usning the pixel bining method which is used by the stock cams. so gcam and other third party cameras detect it as 16mp and 5mp cameras. such is the case with every mobile in the market whose cameras are 20mp or above.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Black_ice_Spain:
actually in the back camera, stock camera also uses 16mp (unless you use 64mp mode which deactivates HDR/AI effects and imo looks similar to worse). In front camera yeah, 20mp vs 5mp, but I don't see a difference atm... :silly:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] jassu:
So is it possible to become in future with xml better front cam pictures?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Black_ice_Spain:
unless someone customizes GCam for this device, kinda unlikely

I don't see a problem with front cam pictures tho (idc about megapixels, just at what my eye can see).

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] coreylhs:
Which auxiliary camera should I enable for ngcam?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
I need to update the signature, but I no longer have realme x2, now I have a POCO X3 ...

With the ngcam 1.7 with my settings both auxiliary cameras and slow motion with 1/4x and 1/8x modes work
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
You're right, in HDR+ ISO to select 500 is OK and increase Shasta Factor. What I meant in the post before was to select HDR+ ISO with Time Max 2X and a good amount of Shasta Factor to use astrophotography without tripod, just a few minutes.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] XtraWater:
What's the best XML in your opinion? Actually I'm happy with Ngcam 1.8 POCOX3 v3.xml. But, when I take a photo of a screen, for instance a television with adr+ enabled the photo is very blueish.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Firnefex:
I set it to Auto, now it works the way I want. Else Astro works, but the daylight shot time is way too long.

In 2.0 I don't have blueish photos, and with AWB Google on there is also less white.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] XtraWater:
Just tried v2. True, photo is fine. I can't see adr settings in this XML. How to switch from adr to enhanced?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ayman ae:
So what is the definitive version of Gcam and xml I should run?

There are many apks and xmls floating around and it's getting out of hand.

Anything better than stock cam yet?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Atenoip:
I tried many GCams and I think stock miui camera is a lot better at the moment, that's why I had to renounce to an aosp rom for now :(
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Picard20:
I think trCam wins. Its based on NGcam a lot of people like and it has a lot of added stuff and it supports Poco x3. All cams work, there are a bunch of custom libs to choose from and video stabilization works.

Just check one of the posts above where surfer posted links to it, and dont forget to download his xml (medium or high sharpness, up to you).

As for Gcam 8, its not yet matured to a point where I can recommend it to anyone. All the versions have barebones features and most have a thing or two that doesnt work.

Just stick with the tried and true Gcam 7 based versions, like the trCam I mentioned.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Atenoip:
Is 64mpx feature working on this version?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] pirx666:
I'm sure I'm missing something, but when I take a photo with NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0 in nightmode (maybe in others too) it's only displayed in preview in the lower right for a second and then vanishes. It's also not in gallery. But it's in the DCIM/Camera folder and looks like every other photo. After a few minutes it's also visible in gallery.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Picard20:
No. I'm yet to see any GCam that has working 64MP mode for Poco X3.

But, if its anything like stock cam, I wouldnt even want it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Atenoip:
I think at the moment stock camera is more stable and fast then every gcam, also I don't want to lose 64mp mode, it's awesome. Unlucky, I really would like to flash an aosp
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Picard20:
Well Gcam can be fast if you dont do HDR+ enhanced, or do it with with minimum frames. Also, every Gcam produces sharper images with less noise in less than ideal lighting conditions. It also doesnt produce that slight warm/orange tint the stock cam images produce. But to each their own.

The main reason I'm still on MemeUI is because of Game Turbo and working EIS. I heard that on custom ROMs EIS doesnt work. Also, its nice having stock cam once in a while. The ultra steady wide cam video is amazing.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] joop1ter:
For me on Nikita's camera astrophotography doesn't work. Any one know why?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] fox_xda2:
Got nice results here with Arnova8G2 GCam 8.0 beta.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Archon1:
take a look at the settings ISO/Exposure Time HDR+. it should be "Automatic" (Back camera) and "Max Exposure Time"
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
Recently I was playing with Nikita gcam 2.0. I wanted to find good video stabilisation settings.

For me suggested earlier in the topic Video EIS Pro setting (in stream config options) didn't work.

I'm on NitrogenOS (firmware 12.0.3).

For main camera stabilisation go to advanced/stream config/video and choose EISV2.

Stabilisation works very good.

If you want to have wide angle camera stabilisation go to the same settings and choose Video EIS instead of EISV2.

Each setting works only in one camera and breaks stabilistation in the other camera unfortunately.

Same will probably apply to latest tigr gcam (based on Nikita).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Could you kindly give some more detailed information?

Under which conditions you got these "nice results" you're talking about?

Is it nice only with good lighting conditions or at low light as well?

Which xml-configuration you are using?

Are all lenses supported for taking pictures as well as videos?

What's about EIS?

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] nuox:
Which one is better?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] fox_xda2:
General use

Low light as well

Nice = colors ok, little noise when zooming

Xml: pixel 5

EIS : ok

All lenses : no

Update xml for Trcam:

Adjusted denoise.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
I'm having a similar behaviour here, running NGCam 7.14 v.2.0 on ArrowOS.

But it fails to show any picture (located in the DICM/Camera folder) by using the GCam's integrated viewer anyway.

Nevertheless, taking pictures is still OK, and the thumbnail feature (i.e. showing the small preview at the soft button in the GCam's lower right corner) works fine as well.

When trying to open the image viewer by tapping on that button, the image is shown for a part of a second, than NGCam shows a black screen with the camera's elements above, just as if the lenses were covered. To get back the photo preview on the screen, I have to change the lense currently used.

As far as I remember, I had the same (or maybe just a similar) behaviour testing the trCam afew days ago - which isn't surprising due to the fact that trCam is based on NGCam (as mentioned above).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Can anybody else confirm such a behavior?

Or does anybody know how to solve that issue?

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
I made few tests. It happened to me only once that after taking picture it was seen in the preview window/circle but I couldn't access it. I cannot replicate this bug. Tonight I took four pictures in night mode and astro (three different options). All pictures were accessable through preview window just while after processing (blue dot went off). All four tonights pictures kept ISO-500 limit whereas my weekend night foto was spoiled because of pumped up ISO-7600 number. Also weekend night photo is too bright, it's almost as picture was taken during daylight.

Hello, I am new here. I have my Poco x3 nfc running on Resurrection Remix. Works great - except for the camera.

So I downloaded your trcam apk. But I don't know how to install or where to download the xml file.

Can you please help me with this?

Thank you
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Just save them to:

/storage/emulated/0/trCamera/XMLConfigs

This is the place where XML files are stored when configuration is saved.

To load an XML file, just double-tap somewhere in the black area near the camera's shutter release button.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Which ROM are you running on your X3?

BTW:

Nice pictures! ;)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
Android 11 Nitrogen OS 12.0.3 vendor firmware and Ngcam 2.0
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
Just install the apk file as if it were a normal application.

Download:

https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/trCamera_Xmas_Release-User_X_Libs.apk

Open the new Camera app that you will find in the drawer.

Accept all initial permissions and the camera already works.

To load the xml just copy the file you downloaded, reattach my in this post, in the path:

/storage/emulated/0/trCamera/XMLConfigs

As soon as done, go back to the Camera application and double tap on the black space between the shutter button and the switch button between the main and front camera, the one with the rotation symbol on the left, a window opens where you can select the xml, if you have copied more than one in the folder you can choose the one you want to try, if you have copied only one, only that will be displayed.

To load it, step on the restore button in the lower right window.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
If you are using my xml, both on the ngcam and on the trcam, the option to use an alternative gallery is probably activated. I use two galleries, Gallery Go as a viewer linked to the gcam, the one opens when I click on the preview button of the photo just taken, because it is much faster and lighter than both the stock gallery and Google Photos. I use Google photos anyway, with the synchronization disabled, but it's my choice and you can also keep it active, because when I need to detect more information about the photos it is more complete.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Thx a lot - that was the decisive hint!

I wasn't aware of that option. But it was the other way around: "use a third party gallery" was

disabled

, so the standard gallery was set to Google Photos. Due to the fact that I'm running a custom ROM without GApps, I have no Google Photos installed (and I even don't want to!), so the vector for calling the gallery presumably pointed to digital Nirvana...

I switched on that option, et voilà...!

This also explains why I hadn't any problems during the short period I was running stock MIUI ROM on my Poco X3.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
Ha, ha that's common problem among new gcam 8. There is no such button to activate third party gallery.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
Such a fu... Google-Sh...!

So I really have to install Google Photos only for having the gallery functionality out of GCam if I wanted to use GCam ≧ 8 one day?

What a waste of memory...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
I hope devs will fund a way to activate other galleries in future releases.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] just Nob:
It's a little bit like the storage path... - unfortunately, the Google Pixel Phones don't have an SDCard memory slot, this is why the GCams don't offer to store pictures & videos on an external SDCard... 🙁

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
For me EIS works for both main and aux lenses. I explained in one of my posts how to apply proper settings.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
These are my definitive xmls for NGCam 2.0 and trCamera_Xmas_Release; everything is working OK and smoothly and auxiliary lenses are almost perfect now, as they were the most difficult to achieve a good level of quality and denoise (for me, the premade noise models are horrible).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
Thanks. I loaded your settings into ngcam and made two changes:aspect ratio to 9/16 (12 MP) and set iso limit to 500 (my personal preference). Can you guess -just for fun- which of the two pictures was taken with your settings (the other one was taken with different xml). Which one more appeal to you?

Ps. Also EIS3 not working for me does it do the job for you?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] joop1ter:
Here are to pic with astrophotography that I shot. The first is with with Urnyx05 2.5 and the second with trgcamera with final xml.

There is no comparison between them.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
Astrophotography? Are you sure? Astrophotography is for night stars. Were these two pictures taken at night? No daylight?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] temporarium:
I think the second one looks a bit better.

Also, does the ISO setting work for you? No matter what I set the bank camera to, it still shows as ISO 1700+. 🤔
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
Generally it works. Maybe try to restart camera. I had the same problem with tigr camera. His version has manual iso adjustment in the viewfinder. Which all cameras should have (pro settings). In the beginning it didn't work (I applied my settings but pictures were saved with higher iso. After camera restart, manual iso adjustments were properly applied.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] temporarium:
Nope. None of the pro settings make any difference. The photos come out ok, but they're all obviously automatic. Neither the ISO note the exposure time makes any difference. Restarted tr camera various times. On RR A10. Any other ideas/suggestions?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
As I said, the xmls that I shared are intended to get good and quality normal pictures with all the lenses. For astrophotography or to take photos in dark rooms you always can make some changes to the configuration and try different ones until you get the one you like most.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] joop1ter:
Those are taken on midnight. Tried some many different version and only on urix version I find night mode works good.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
If those pictures were taken indeed at night then both are unacceptable. They don't look as taken at night but rather at noon.

PS. Here you have example of ngcam night photo. First is just night mode, second with astro on. You can clearly see they look as taken at night. That's what I would expect from night photography.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
You're right. I forgot to change to EIS2. Corrected in new xmls. Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdros15:
I use @GCamFinder_Bot on Telegram. You'd select your brand, and model. And yes it has POCO x3 in it (under Xiaomi -> Poco). It will recommend an APK and XML for you. Hope this helps.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] surferbyter:
I completely agree. The night photo must not distort the atmosphere otherwise it becomes a useless artifice ...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] fox_xda2:
That is a matter of personal preference and totally depends of the use and purpose the photographer has.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
On personal level we don't object that someone may prefer sth to sth. But on general level one needs to look for some objective criteria that allow to state that one photo is better that the other. And one has to be able to support the claim with some objective criteria. In night photography we want object to stand out without loosing "night atmosphere".
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] _phk_:
@vanpoko thanks for you xml settings. Unfortunately all pictures at daytime look quite pale. I don't know what causes it. When I see the preview window at the bottom right corner, colors are normal. When opening it I see strong colors for about 1 second and then the colors are pale. I don't understand which setting causes this.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
I've changed the color configuration in new xmls.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] fox_xda2:
Tried these, and found the colors were sligthly too saturated in the blues (the sky was significantly bluer than it is. Nothing big mind you, just a wee bit).

Where does this royal "we" come from now?

Wanting the subject to stand out from a dark background is a pure subjective criteria. There is no such thing as an objective "atmosphere". Plus as soon as you start increasing luminosity by technical artifacts, and doing selectively so, your are deep in the realm of personal preference.

Note that the initial post was about using astrophotography on landscape, resulting in an almost day feeling. This I find

1/ Useful for artistic (purely personal) and technical (think industry photography at night to show progress/damage with no esthetic purpose) purposes,

2/ Coherent from a technical POV. increasing received light applies ot the whole picture. ***for astro*** I think this solution give more interpretive room for photograpghs, while keeping night sight with a more subject selective light enhancement (which is what you advocate for apparently).

3/ An argument for keeping darks lighter is that it is easier to post-process the image back to darker than to post-process it to lighter (easier to reduce information than increase it). Not that I care about it myself, but just to show there are several valid ways to address the problem.
