Just gave it a try: As soon as I start the app (*Eng.apk / *Snap.apk) it crashes. So I can't use it.

Running LOS 18.1. without GApps.I think that's the reason even if ZGCam was working all the time and I have fake gcam services provider installed.

The below version worked perfectly on S10 Exynos.

MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0m_ruler.apk (com.samsung.android.ruler)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] geronimoge:
As it seems there is an issue with the fake services needed by GCam.

But there's already a workaround as written here.

So we have a solution again if you don't want to use GApps.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Osushi:
Hello, I don't know if that's the only thing for me, but when I use GCam, I have a small image lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Koffietijd:
Thank you.

I was using ZGCam from koopahtmaniac.com and that was working reassonable well. Just now installed this BSG's version: MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0m_Eng.apk and that is working even better and more fluid. Thank you for pointing that out.

I'm running samsung starlte S9, with Lineageos 18.1 en Nikgapps
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Koffietijd:
I overlooked an issue with front camera. Rarely use that. Front camera is making pink/purple pictures.

Does anyone know how to fix that?

Maybe a cameralib from latest vendor-stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kobcym:
Hi, How do you switch to f2.4? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] geronimoge:
New versions are available
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Yes, from time to time there are new versions :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] balrajs99:
MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVq_ruler.apk and MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVq_scan3d.apk seem to be working fine on Exynos. Also, the front camera launches, but the capture button doesn't save the picture.

Also, I can't get the wide-angle lens working here by tweaking the mod settings. However, I got the wide-angle lens working in ZGCAM.

Although, this version is actually quite smoother. Hopefully, we will have the front cam working soon :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] geronimoge:
Same here
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
I think there is a beta version that maked the front cam working. We just need to wait a bit more.

I was able to use the wide-angle lens. But I've found a limitation. You either have the wide angle or the telephoto lens. You can't have the hability to choose both when you want.

For an example, I had the 1x option and sliding to the left I have 0.5x. But no 2x.

So, I've gone to the settings and disable the lens 0.5x. Then it appears the 2x lens.

Hope it will be a fix in the future.

hi, i have s10e device can you teach me how to use wide angle lens? (Root)

I would prefer gcam 8.1 but 7.4

please help me
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
Hello friend can you please tell me how to use telephoto lens and wide angle in gcam port latest by BSG?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Just install the apk. However, I did find that you can only use 2 lens at time. So, you can use the main and telephone lens. If you want the switch the telephone by the wide angle, you need to disable the telephone lens in the settings
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
But problem is I don't find setting anything related to telephoto lens?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
I'm on los18.1 and GCAM port by BSG
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Camera - settings - additional module settings

This is for the lens. For an example, the one with "(0.5)" is the wide. The "(1.9)" is for the telephoto (I don't know why isn't 2.0).
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
Problem is I have different lens focal points displaying.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
What version did you installed?

My phone is S9+ and android 11 los18.1
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
The dual aperture, I don't know how it works. Maybe it doesn't work for now.

To use the dual aperture, maybe you need ZGcam version.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
Can you please suggest which version of zcam should I install?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
The last one :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
I installed zcam still don't see any setting related to telephoto lens just checked by placing finger no effect.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
The telephoto lens isn't always used. If there is low light, when you zoom, it will use the main camera, not the telephoto. The telephoto will be used only when there is good light.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
tried in full sun light more than 100lux but no vain.Ok my conclusion is you can't use telephoto lens on custom rom like los18.1
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
No information on Google as well
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Probably. On stock ROM behaves like I said. I can't help you with LOS. Try on their forum.

Will this update fix my telephoto lens?and which variant should I install ruler or sacn3d?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
I don't know. Probably not. You can use the telephone lens in stock LOS camera?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
Unfortunately not
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
And LOS is worth it? In the past I've used a lot of ROMs, kernels, etc... Now, I don't see the need. And for me, the camera is very important and custom ROMs can't provide the stock ROM's results. Maybe with GCam can give great results, but like you said, you can't use telephoto lens... It is just my opinion. And GCam can be very good in some scenarios, but with the recent stock ROM updates, and with these flagships, it doesn't have that much a benefit, the camera is already optimized. For phones that doesn't have the camera very well optimized, it make sense (I'm thinking OnePlus for an example, my OP3T had a big difference).

Any fixes for front cam on BSG?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
Thanks for your help.i switched to Alex rom android 11 UI3.1 Samsung port note 10lite.working stock camera and much more stock look and features.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dolphino:
how did you solve the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] geronimoge:
By not using front camera.

So no solution for me, I'm sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
This is so confusing gcam no one will tell about the truth of working port I don't know why or it's my fault.i was search for Gcam port for s9+ exynos for no vain.some one told me to change settings for lens to work with telephoto lens but don't find this type of setting in my gcam port.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Because you are not using stock ROM? Your current ROM have access to the telephoto lens?

Also, there isn't a fully functional GCam for exynos processors (at least for now).
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Aga.bogdan:
No stock room.but this week I am switching to stock like rom for s9+ ported from s10lite android 11.and there people have access to telephoto lens so hope if stock camera with all function is working good so no need for gcam as for now while it's in development phase.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Just updated the OP with settings to activate the front camera and other tips.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kingmaker5938:
@dcop7 bro can you tell me which version of gcam working with front camera & everything?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] geronimoge:
Just check OP. Front camera is working for me now
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Check the first post. Use the latest version and do the steps.

But I notice that everything isn't working.

Telephoto isn't working (it is software that activates the camera depending the light conditions that is only present on stock camera app)

The second front camera doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] OpenMinded:
great port, thanks. When setting mod settings to YUV, front cam works and saves on my Galaxy S9. The only issue seems to be with flash - it works when changed and app is restarted it seems. Very responsive all, almost perfect.

Would be great if the flash part can be fixed. Read somewhere the app does not restart anymore after changing the setting, perhaps that does the trick? anyway, I'm very greatful for the work, it's so much better than stock LOS app.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dishe2:
So just to understand, does the front camera now work on the S10 variants using hdr+?

I was told that the raw support for the selfie camera was disabled by Samsung in an update and therefore gcam can't process it. I've been scouring the internet, I want to buy this used but coming from LG and Moto with working hdr+ for family selfies, I think it would be a deal breaker if it doesn't work for me. 😞
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Doesn't work completely. The portrait mode doesn't work.

But the gcam alone is a deal breaker?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dishe2:
Portrait mode is fine, I don't need that. I just want the hdr and detail clarity that gcam adds.

Yes it is absolutely a deal breaker- I have pictures on my wall of family trips taken with gcam on my moto and LG phones that print alongside those taken on my $3000+ Sony A7R cameras. It holds up. The selfies taken on my wife and daughter's phone not so much. It's a major selling point for me not to lose that ability.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Maybe it is better to buy a pixel phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kingmaker5938:
@dishe2 front portrait & everything is working. just use newly patched libs. you can find it here - https://t.me/ZexynosLounge74
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dishe2:
Been there. Hated it. I enjoy multiple lenses, headphone jack and wireless charging in my car. There isn't a pixel phone that offers all that, plus they retain their value used far longer. I've had better results with gcam on the aforementioned phones and kept all the features I wanted within a reasonable budget. It's not that crazy. I'll just go G8 if this doesn't work, but it sounds like it might!

@Kingmaker5938, thanks! Will this work with the snapdragon variant as well or only exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kingmaker5938:
it's for exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamkani:
Ok . Here i found the perfect Gcam for our beloved S10 plus and also for all S10 series.

And later I'll share the xml file that i made for work all the options in gcam.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Donkey666:
[2X Telephoto Note 10+] Trick you have described did not work, UI showed 1x and 2x cameras but when I switched to 2x, image was still going from main camera(1x) (you can try cover lens with finger and see fo yourself..) Also in modules settings was not showing tlephoto(2x) I just whitelisted ID 4 or 5 and blacklisted ID 2(0.5x)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Yes. Telephoto lens does not work. I think it is activated by software. If you check stock camera, you see it is the software that decides to use telephoto lens. If it is low light, at 2x, stock camera uses the main camera instead of telephoto lens.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Donkey666:
Telephoto(2x) works on open camera as ID4 (with camera2api enabled works as ID5)

Hi

It's about a month i bought a S20+ 5G and always heard from friends that gcam is wonder full software.

If any one here would be kind enough to point me in right direction and guide me on how to install it(like do i need root? do i need any thing special?) and which apk from link blow i shall download for my S20+ 5G Exynos version?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:

I should download this one? or?

My problem is I can't figure out which one works on my phone?

Some one said the *_ENG.apk version works with Exynos CPUs.

but in first post you said use com.samsung.android.ruler.

Which one should i use?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
I don't know who said that. But why you doesn't just try and see if it works? If doesn't work, just uninstall the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Brixavier:
Hello Guys

Quick question: Has anyone been able to set the front camera on their S10 to take high quality pics, I noticed the taken photos are really crappy, worse than what i see in the view finder when taking the picture.

I noticed this cam has a lots of mod settings, after tweaking those settings, I do not see any change in the final result.

I use an IDan 5.* G-Cam on my S8 and the selfies are so sharp its unbelievable, its just a little bit pinkish.

So any ideas for selfie cam on the s10 for this GCam version will be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] WonITKorea:
Well, that is not the correct id...

In Note 10 variant, 52 is Telephoto sensor id.

Even samsung doesn't use that ids on stock cam.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] WonITKorea:
Please correct the main Post contents.

There is no information about collaboration of bsg and zoran.

And Package names for Samsung are Scan3d and Ruler. which you mentioned lol sorry

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] WonITKorea:
A note from Moderator in both groups:

ZGcam and BSG MGC are both great ports.

They have separated pros and cons. So Latest is not always the Best.

Front and other blocked Auxiliary sensors are blocked by samsung itself. So Even if you bypass the RAW requirements, there will be no difference or worse result on those sensors.

Lastly, Join Telegram Groups for better support. We have bunch of configurations and modded libs(that can unlock the blocked sensors) in here. And We will help you guys with many guides.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:

Hello,

I've downloaded MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1x_ruler.apk for y S9+ and it works fine, this is the first modified google camera that works on my S9+.

There's one thing (minor) and that's the package name.

The package name is com.samsung.android.ruler and at least in the Samsung store there is another app (Quick measure) with the same package name. The samsung store wants to upgrade the camera app with the version of Quick Measure.

Is it possible to change the package name a bit?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dcop7:
Use the other package name, scan3d or something
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] deboopi2:

Is there a workaround or a setting that can make gcam 8.4 work?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jericho246:
I have come with good news. Today is the day. AGC 8.4 works on S21U Exynos. all previous builds I tried were behaving exactly the same as you said. Video worked but crashing when taking pictures, so kinda useless. But starting today it all changed.

download link (GCam Brasil site) https://gcambrasil.com.br/devs/bigkaka/changelog220223/

I'm pretty sure it will work on your guys' S10 Exynos phones too. No special XML needed, it should work "out of the box". Give it a try.

edit: ah my bad, you have a S9+. So you're probably on Android 10. Not sure if 8.4 works on A10, but still, worth a try I guess.

I would like it too
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Haknor:
So is it working then? All versions I've tested the front camera crashed. I've read somewhere that it happens due to Samsung removed the RAW support and Gcam uses it for processing images. Also, some say you need root to fully configure the front cam to work. Anyway I'll try this version as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] absulutebeginner:
Samsung does NOT allow external camera softwares to use the front camera. You can use the front camera only with Samsung camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Haknor:
Is it due to encryption? There should be a way to use it. If not, then I'll sell my phone and buy another one less problematic. I'm not sure but it seems Samsung is giving me headaches limiting so much the phone usage. You can't do this, you can't do that. So... they make so easy as 1-button click to unlock the bootloader and install any rom you want, have graphical programs such as Odin for this while other is just adb commands but you can't do anything other than using the stock? Not even a third-party camera? Oh f... no.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Haknor:
What if I remove the stock rom and install another rom? Is it still a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Liumlium:
GCAM BSG 8.1 works perfectly on s10 plus except for the front camera. Photos are greatly improved and portraits are beautiful. I use the Galaxy S20 FE BobZombie setup found on the same BSG page. The s20fe setup on s10 plus gives better results than the Galaxy Note 10+ setup. To use the GCam 100% on exynos you have to root and install a Pixel Experience Custom Rom, in this way the front camera and three rear sensors are enabled without the need to deactivate one by one to switch between Telephoto or Ultrawide.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Haknor:
That's the issue I'm getting, everything seems to work pretty decent except by the front camera and I don't know the real reason behind it (if you do pls tell me)

Some people like you say it works if you use root (don't explain how and why), others say it's not working due to the fact Samsung removed RAW functionality from their device, so Gcam can't use it to create images (I doubt that is the real issue -- especially if you're using a custom rom). Others are saying it's due to the proprietary blobs or the encryption system. Tbh I don't know what is the cause of such problem. You said to use Pixel Experience and it will work, are you sure only this rom? What if you want to use a microG Google-less rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] starbright_:
I installed all 6 variants of MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b. For each I installed a different config. The differences has been noticable. Taking into account that you can play for each setting with AWB and HDR it becomes a rather difficult task. But all create rings/artefacts under some situations that OpenCam doesn't.

I found ZGCam 7.4 more stable in that terms, but I could't get the full resolution with that?!?

My advice would be: Use OpenCam for normal situation, and for difficult you can try GCam (very dark, high contrast). Otherwise the danger is to get an overprocessed image with artefacts (even in raw/dng ???!!!) that you can't repair.

I try hard to figure out the development options, but documents about it are not available. At least I didn't found it. Good luck and please go on reporting your experiences.

There is a similar thread here:

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] WonITKorea:
Did you try Merging method named "Spatial RGB"? If you didn't, you need to try.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] WonITKorea:
Also, the "Rainbow Ring" is made by HDR Stacking. I actually don't understand why samsung devs don't fix that thing.

Maybe they manage to fix when the Expert RAW comes..?(if it does)
