I guess so, they must work in the public release (I have not test it as I already have 2 BSGs installed and I don't want to install more). I don't really know which ones are better but I suppose these private ones are better crafted with all the new modifications and the bugs resolved sooner, something that I think it's done little by little in the public ones that are released each few days.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] XtraWater:
I tried that. Still I think the colors on the previous mod are more livid. And, the photos are sharper. If I zoom in I can see more details. Howevee, for now I keep this new private version since video auto stabilization works quite well in my opinion. The older mod with the video stabilization of the new mod would be perfect. However it's interesting to see what's possible with those mods on the Poco X3. Thanks @vanpoko for all your efforts to share these mods and XMLs. Otherwise I wouldn't have tried something new.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
In the premium MOD the processing with the rampatcher and that gorgeous library Google 8.1.200 (I don't know if it's legit or it has been modified but it's the best lib that I've ever seen) is different that in in the new private and public BSGs so the results are different too. I have shared 3 more very colorful xmls and with one of them. reality_bites_PV4, you can get pictures like these ones posted some time ago here:

Hello, I am really overwhelmed by so many versions of GCAM and so much configuration stresses me, so I will simply use the version and xml that you recommend, thanks for your research and taking the detail to share it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
Here goes for photography enthusiasts and gcammaniacs one of the coolest, most complete, customized and best GCam mods out there so far, the latest Pitbull's P-Z-D GCam 8.2.204 mod. If you get a good configuration you can get amazing photos. The options are almost endless to configure. Thanks to the new HDR+ of the Pixel 6, to a great noise model specially made for the Poco X3, to full sabre merging, the total control that is achieved over light, shadows, color, contrast, etc. you can get great photos in almost any light or shadow setting. And the video is also very good and stable and slow motion works ok. One of the pluses is that you have the option to use LDR. The mod uses this cool new layout with the AUX buttons displayed different and 2 special buttons for the AWB and the libpatcher. Enjoy!.

Download the apk from here:

File on MEGA

P-Z-D_8.2.204_v.3

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

NOTE: maybe you'll have to give permissions to manage files to the apk in order to load the xml. This goes in a special folder called ConfigSettings8.2, so you can save a random xml and the folder will be created and after move the shared one and load it.

Base XML Credits: 2DesArt Team

This are my final and definitive xmls for this mod. I wasn't satisfied with the results from the one already posted so I made it from scratch with no base or whatever. Now you'll get really cool photos! Don't miss it !!!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Exprymer:
Thanks for all the Effort!

Would be nice if we start to make comparisons of the versions so we can verify which xml or version works the best. I personally like a point and shoot configuration for both the Main and Front Camera.

EDIT: I personally have been finding the touch focus a little too narrow, like when i take a picture of a Pet, the nose is focused but the rest of its face is not. Weird..

I better install the Appcloner so i can name these versions haha
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ocujos:
Where should I create ConfigSettings8.2 folder for XML file? I've tried root of internal sdcard and gcam folder, however, the cam can't find the XML file. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
As I said, you'll have to give permissions to the PZD Gcam, go to settings--->applications--->permissions--->permissions--->files and multimedia--->give permissions to the apk and then it'll be in the group of apks that can manage all files.

Now you'll be able to save a random xml and the folder will be created in the root directory, then move the mine one to the folder and load it.

What is the best version or tweaks for astrophotography? I've been using the "premium" apk and xml for almost everything except vídeo. I've got good shots on astro mode but I wish to improve
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ocujos:
Thanks. The catch is that you have to allow permissions *before* starting the cam for the first time. I've reinstalled it, allowed all permissions and then started the cam. I could see all xml files then in the root folder ConfigSettings8.2.

Question: I have *four* cameras on the right hand side - LDR, macro, 2DA and wide. Our X3 has only three cameras. Macro and Wide are self-explanatory. Do you know what LDR and 2DA cameras are for?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
2DA is the main cam.

LDR is the main cam but with LDR (low dynamic range) instead HDR (high dynamic range). With the LDR you can get very cool pictures with iluminated objects in a dark scenario. The 4 cameras and the LDR have their own libpatcher so you can customize each one with endless options.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] BigBaba61:
Can someone please recommend a gcam version with xml that just works reliable? There are too many versions for me.

I want to flash arrow os but i need a reliable camera app

Most of the times the apps are stuttering or the pictures don't show up immediately in the gallery

BSG_8.1.101_PV4.apk and BSG_8.1.101_PV4.xml (posted in this thread) are very reliable. (I'm using it on crDroid 7.4)

@vanpoko

I'm finding lots of noise on PZD camera in Night mode shots. BSG beats it followed by NGCam 7.4.

PZD seems to be sacrificing quality for a slightly brighter picture. BSG is overall a winner using BSG_8.1.101_PV4.xml.

1. No Nightmode

2. PZD gCam 8.2

3. nGcam 7.4

4. BSG gCam 8.1

All photos were taken with the main 64Mpx on my Poco X3 NFC Surya (global) phone.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baribal_X:
I said that the author of the post about PZD steals xml and presents them as his own. We don't mind people using our settings. But why rename the xml? This is a complete disrespect for the author and their work!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
Hey, man, the configs in the xmls are totally mine, other thing that I won't deny is that I used as a base one that I found I don't know where to save time setting the AUX and minor things but from the one that used maybe I have left only a 25% of settings; it's all configured with my tastes.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ocujos:
I've just reviewed two posts from @vanpoko

He used a writing style that doesn't imply that he created xml's.

Thanks to his effort, gcam has been popularised here on XDA and I appreciate his posts. If xml's were indeed taken from another creator as a base, it should be acknowledged in the post.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baribal_X:
Are you a liar, too? What is the basis of the settings? Maybe you changed the tone, scale? Or maybe you changed the whipped colors to match our lens? Or maybe you tweaked the noise and saber settings? So what 25% are you talking about? What work was 75% completed? Or is your answer to me calculated not for me but for people who believed you? You have no shame, no honor! You know where to find me. Conscience wakes up - you write. We will release the fourth xml soon. Don't oversleep. We wish all the other forum participants all the best and good photos. 2DesArt Team
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
First i would i would like to thank Vanpoko for their contributions to this thread .

Now some newbie signs up and starts slaggin them off for allegedly stealin xml's ( without any proof might i add ) . Can i just remind you that every version of gcam is a slightly tweaked version of someone elses work and claimed to be the work of whoever posts it !

if you have nothing good to say .. then say nothing at all .
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
you claim a lot but wheres the proof ? a quick google of 2desart team shows nothing ..
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ocujos:
May I recommend that you both use Winmerge or sdiff (if you're Linux user) to compare disputed XML files side-by-side? This will once and for all put an end to the dispute. It's the most objective way to establish validity of claims of each party. I'm happy to assist and be an independent "judge".

When hatchet has been buried, we could then go back to our discussion about gcams and XML's.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baribal_X:
Any questions? Give links to the telegram channel and to the site w3bsit3-dns.com?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
its russian , english only on here .

i cant see the point to this , its all plagiarism anyway !
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ocujos:
I've compared two files (see the top of the attached Winmerge report for file names). There are lots of differences between the two files. By just looking at the two files, it's hard to say which one was used as a "base configuration" before modification.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baribal_X:
This is our signature. Do you still have doubts? I repeat, we don't mind using our xml. Setting up the settings takes a lot of time and testing. And it is very unpleasant when they took it and spit on all this work! He took it, twisted it and said that it was "mine". Or maybe I am wrong and this is considered the norm?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] shadowstep:
@Baribal_X Hi! I see that you're new here. Welcome to XDA! :) Please note that XDA is an international forum, and hence only English is permitted to be used across the website. You had a few posts that had Russian, so I've edited them for you and everyone else.

Regarding your claim, I've compared the XMLs that you had attached v/s the XMLs that were attached by @vanpoko. They're not 1:1 copies and I see changes have been made, which is perfectly acceptable since there is no mention or claim by @vanpoko that the XMLs were created from scratch by him, and it certainly seems like he's just sharing them.

Nonetheless, I've gone ahead and edited the original post by @vanpoko and gave your team credits for base XML since @vanpoko confirmed here that he used your XML only as a base for making changes. @vanpoko, I'm assuming you won't mind that.

Now let's all take a deep breath, and get back on topic, shall we?

Regards,

so back to the discussion .. i've seen a few posts saying v7 is better than v8 , anyone care to chip in ...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ocujos:
I'm finding BSG 8.1 the best overall for photos and videos. BSG excels in Night Sight photos. See my earlier post.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Noter2017:
Video stabilization doesn't work, so it's pretty much useless
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
im still falling back on https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-greatness/f/dl1/ , not bloated with options and pic quality is still better than stock camera , at least no more blown highlights
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ocujos:
Are you certain you've loaded correct XML?

Video stabilisation (EIS) works perfectly fine for me in all video modes 1080p 30&60fps and also 4k 30fps. I've compared videos with and without EIS turned on and the results are great.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudix78:
For my personal preference ngcam 7.4 still beats BSG. First photo is BSG night photo astro on. It is very bright (too bright) and you can see that person in the picture moved. Second picture is ngcam night photo astro on. It took less time to capture the picture hence person is 'still'. Less details of the vehicle (dynamic range) but I think more realistic as for the night photo. Ngcam produces higher resolution photo in 9:16 format. Both cameras failed to capture moon properly.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baribal_X:
Sorry, but both photos are failing here. The first one shows wild noise, clearly due to the increased sharpness and the winding noise reduction. The second is the same, but also the light has failed.

Beautiful photos. I'm using "BSG_8.1.101_PV4.xml". Would that be similar to your XML?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Exprymer:
Is there any of these Xmls posted here that were given some attention to the Front Camera performance? Which one would you guys recommend?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] eternalshiroh:

Can you please tell us about the three XML's.

What are their strengths and weaknesses? Thanks.

PV4_2DesArt_DN (Baribal_1)

The config is universal, the parameters of the patcher are not affected. Liba at your discretion.

- Each lens is adjusted;

- Selected HDR models.

- By default, on all modules (except for macro), tonnova and gamma zeta2e are manually driven in. If unnecessary, it turns off;

- Also manually hammered in the HEX address of the Soft sharp parameter from mods 8.2 (default value) works the same as sharpness, but with soft strokes. also turns off when unnecessary;

- Bit manual color correction of the main lens (CCT imx 682);

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] ocujos:
It appears that XDA forum is translating Russian to English which makes it a bit difficult to understand your message.

I think I'll just play with different XML's to see which one works the best.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baribal_X:
I use DS in the evening and at night, DN and RH for daytime photography. DN will be the sharpest.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
i find the images too soft on all 3 xmls . i still think camstellar (

CamStellar_Greatness.Build_4 )​

gives better sharpness and its easy to adjust sharpness / noise reduction in settings
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baribal_X:
It's a personal matter for everyone to use. If you like Greatness, then use it. There is a new version of it 8.2.204, you can try it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baribal_X:
Today we will release xml for PZD V3 (PZD_2DesArt_Gold) It will be final, I think. Moving to the new version of PZD V3.1

I've made some small tweaks to the front camera in an attempt to make it better, perhaps you can work on it a little more since i don't know much about the options, i'm just experimenting blindly.

The original XML was the one shared by vanpoko, so everything else is as his except for some minor changes on the front cam.

Hey, man, I'm still here! I haven't gone anywhere. By the way, I have just posted my final and definitive xmls for the BSG PV4 and P-Z-D v3 mods, don't miss them!. I wasn't satisfied with the results from the ones that already posted so I made them from scratch.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] psychorat:
Thank you for the new xmls

I tried the PV4 ONE but the video stabilization does not work with this new xml (default lib and the one included ). I tried to compare it with the default xml but theres a big difference in size and order so i gave up
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] Exprymer:
Here is 3 photos using 3 xmls.

For the PV4 the lib used was the lib shared on the .zip of the PV4_ONE.xml.

First: pv4 with reality_bytes.xml

Second: pv4 with ONE.xml

Third: 8.2 V3 with PZD_ONE.xml

At this point the difference is marginal for an unexperienced eye like mine. Loved it all. Only thing that i kinda don't like is how narrow the focus is, the ground for example are out of focus even though i didn't use the touch focus in any of the pictures. 8.2 appears to handle it better.

The ONE.XML and the Reality_Bytes. xml has very good Front camera photos too. Those will be my daily drivers. The only thing i dislike on the ONE.xml is that it's not using the instant HDR, but i will change it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
Yeah, it seems the problem is the custom lib but the results that gives in pictures is fantastic. I have restored the 2 xmls that people seem to like so you only have to restore default lib. With this original lib if I remember well the video stabilization works ok.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rubep:
@vanpoko, it would be great if you put all your files in one place.

I think if someone doesn't read this forum every day, it can sometimes be difficult to find the right files.

What do you think about this?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
I don't know what you mean exactly; each mod has its own xmls in place and each mod is in a different post. What is the 'one place'?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rubep:
Deleted
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] rubep:
I understand what you write.

I'm thinking of something like the signpost on the first page. All the variants will be there, like PV4 or P-Z-D etc., each time with a link to the appropriate place.

BTW the same solution you can see in the ROM/Kernel section.

Nonsence?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
I have reworked the xml; would you mind to check it to test if the video works ok now with this xml and the custom lib Google 8.1.200; if so I would change it in the post.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] vanpoko:
That would mean to open a new thread only for my posts and I don't have time to keep a section just mine. Sorry.
