Hey, BSG!

First of all, thank you so much for the work you do for us all on Gcam, because it truly is marvellous and lets us use the potential our devices actually have (often untapped by various manufacturers), which is immensely appreciated. I've recently played with your app a lot, to configure it the best I can for my device, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, and I'm generally pleased with the test results I get (still have to actually test it in real-life photography, not just some test pictures), but I've had crashes when trying to take a video to compare it with the stock app. I've tried all the lenses, while also changing various settings, hoping I could fix it like that, but it doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately 😢 I don't know anything about it, but I'm attaching the log, which I hope will help, and baed on that, I guess it could be related to some errors with the app key, so Android doesn't let it take videos, because of security? I've tried looking for it in my phone's settings as well, though to no avail, so is there anything I can do to fix it, or could you fix it in any way, please?

Best regards,

Tom

Just tested your new MGC_9.2.113_A11_V16 (or any other 9.x) on my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (mars) with LineageOS 21.

App does start start with android launcher icon, but it crash with double press of power button.

Hello BSG,

I currently have the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 13T with MGC_9.2.113_A11_V16. In video mode with 4k@60 is the noise much worse than on my Xiaomi 14. I tried to adjust every setting (and also from BigKaka) but no change visible regarding noise. Is that really a thing only devs/modder can fix? Because the stock cam doesnt have such noise. So yeah, can I hope that it'll be better in future because it cant be that the stock camera has less details/washed and sharpening than my old Xiaomi 10T Lite?
[Google Camera Mods] bsg19071979:
Most likely you need to set the correct session ID for this mode in the module settings.

On the latest version, trying to calibrate color/white balance with the front camera of the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra, I can get close but the color never quite matches the viewfinder, which I find typically more accurate/pleasant than my attempts to compensate. The issue exists with HDR+ On and Off, or Enhanced.

Increasing saturation and adjusting saturation component values is the best way I can get close. It also seems adjusting Green Saturation does not behave as it should, lower values increase the green saturation, while lower values decrease saturation for Red and Blue.

Motion Photos capture exactly as they appear in the viewfinder, as do the main back camera and telephoto camera, the wide angle camera requires some correction but it is not as bad as the front.

Should I be having this much trouble? Do you have any tips or guides for color correcting in the app?

[Google Camera Mods] giociampa:
@bsg19071979 Possibly a dumb question - is there a reason for the lenses (on my Moto g 5G plus) being named 0.5, 0.9, etc?

Would it be possible to add settings to assign names and/or icons to the UI? Just a minor aesthetic thing I know...

Thanks in advance, great work by all involved 👍
[Google Camera Mods] jhoravi:
Hello everyone please help me. I'm in the download page of the latest BSG apk but there seems to be many choices ending with snap, eng, mgc, ruler, scan3d and there's no description about their differences. What are the names all about?
[Google Camera Mods] taw62:
As far as I understand this, these are only different package signatures, which are needed for some devices. Otherwise there is no difference.
[Google Camera Mods] jhoravi:
Thanks for the reply. If I have to guess, the word "snap" in "PV0m_snap.apk" means snapdragon and the one to download if it matches the CPU of your phone. Am I right?
[Google Camera Mods] taw62:
Don't know. Just try and if it works it works. I think only the last two are special for Samsung.
[Google Camera Mods] compsition:
Would you pls add detail lib patcher settings such as sharpness/contrast/denoise/tone curve like in other mods?

Hi friends! Can you please explain the difference between the versions "V" and "PV" (okay, "public version", but what is this?) and "GV"? Thank you in advance!

In practice there's no difference. They're public versions. BSG changed the way the apk files were being named.

[Google Camera Mods] HKPolice:
Anyone know how to make MGC_8.1.101_A9 work on Razer Phone 2? The camera's viewfinder is just a black page, turning on OpenGL preview lets it work but colors are inverted. Turning on YUV format causes the image to freeze.

Video viewfinder works normally though.
[Google Camera Mods] mlemod:
Many thanks to the developer MGC about this wonderful job.

Yes, the video image stabilization doesn't working properly at all.

Also, if you set the 0.6x lens (i.e super wide) there are barrel issues at the edges.

The default camera has correction about this, perhaps with some kind of algorithm.

We 'll waiting for future update...

Cool!

Its possible change the app_name apk?
[Google Camera Mods] nascentt:
This is a great mod. I was introduced to it today and am now rocking it on my samsung s10e.

however, I see a lot of options regarding device storage.. Am I missing a setting to specific the storage path?

There seems no way to have photos saved to the sdcard. Unless I'm overlooking it?

Would be the perfect camera app with the ability to save the photos to sd, it'd be amazing if it could be added as an option if it doesn't exist already.

Hi, I installed the latest beta build, and everything seems to work!

Except I can't find where to change the preview gallery app (if I don't want to use Google photos). I remember seeing it in earlier builds.

Thx
[Google Camera Mods] droidzer1:
Why does Wifi or mobile data have to be on for this camera to work? It force closes unless Wifi or mobile data is on. Very odd and a bit disturbing. No other cameras I have fail in this way.
[Google Camera Mods] Lermite:
You found out why the MGC_8.3.252_V0d_MGC show a empty black image, as mine has all its connections blocked by a firewall.

As a camera app has nothing to do on Internet, I've switched back to the V0c that works fine without connection.
[Google Camera Mods] S4turno:
I've asked BSG and since V0d it checks if the user has a "key". If there isn't an internet connection, the display stays black. This is for a private/donation version that unlocks some features.

While as far as I know there's no malicious intent, it does check with BSG server to see if the key is valid.

I will update the page for V0d with a warning about this. As far as I know, this doesn't exist on 8.3 V0c and the other 8.1.x versions. Hopefully there will be a private version with the internet check and a public one without it.

With this said... current GCams (the original ones) do connect to the internet. The videos/guides Google added download the file from Google servers. Without internet, it will look like this.

( @droidzer1 @Lermite )
[Google Camera Mods] Lermite:
Thanks for this explanation.

In other words, BSG versions of GCam aren't free any longer.

It looks like the time for me to test other devs releases.
[Google Camera Mods] S4turno:
They're free and the private version has existed for more than a year. Nothing changed in this regard, other than the fact you now know the private version exists :P

I guess BSG was just trying to merge the two versions into one, but it's probably better to keep things as they were before.
[Google Camera Mods] Lermite:
Anyway, a camera app that can't work without an internet connection is useless to me as I can have to take photos or videos in areas without any connection.

With my RN5 Whyred, sound capture in video mode is awfull, not with the native photo app of LineageOS 18.1.

What's the origin of this Gcam Problem with RN5 ?
[Google Camera Mods] dexlemaffo:
Not an expert in tweaking Gcam so I'm seeking help here. I'm using the latest stable BSG port of Gcam on my Samsung Galaxy A52s and set it up with the proper XML file. i'm not able to take shots with the Macro lens and slow mo videos aswell.

Any advice, please ?
[Google Camera Mods] dexlemaffo:
Magic eraser is an exclusive feature for Pixels and a tool on Google Photos. It's not related to Gcam.
[Google Camera Mods] S4turno:
Slow motion is often broken or isn't as smooth as the stock camera in most phones.

Regarding the extra cameras, unless there's a limitation with that phone, I think you have to use a Samsung package name for all to work:

com.samsung.android.ruler

com.samsung.android.scan3d

com.samsung.android.biometrics.service

etc

If we look at the latest stable from BSG (MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix), it would be the 4th or 5th apks:
[Google Camera Mods] dexlemaffo:
I tried both (*.ruler and *.scan3d). Main + Ultrawide lens are working like a charm but the macro lens isn't.
[Google Camera Mods] S4turno:
Maybe you have to manually add the camera ID? Settings » Modules

According to the Telegram group, these are the camera IDs for the A52:

Imx682 0 back

Imx616 1 front

S5k3l6 2 wide

Imx616 3 front wide

Gc5035 52 depth

Gc5035 54 macro

No idea if it works or not, but try it.
[Google Camera Mods] dexlemaffo:
Tried it but it doesn't work. I think a proper xml file for A52 / A52 5G / A52s would do the job (since they've got the same lenses). But I can't find any. Tried on reddit and XDA, but nothing came up.
