Arcide OP9P v3 XML for LMC 8.4 R9 GCam

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Download the APK from the quoted post, if you don't have it already (always use the snapcam version)

- Place the XML in Internal Storage\LMC8.4, load it by double-tapping the black area around the shutter button

CHANGELOG:

- Reworked the entire config

- Used merge 3 method instead of merge 1 for main and ultrawide lens (better for human subjects, much cleaner shadows especially in dynamic lighting, less moire artifacts - but more motion artifacts and a bit less micro-fine details)

- Added Pro-mode switch in the top right for activating manual focus, ISO and shutter speed

NOTES:

- 4K video doesn't work on OOS 12

- 60fps works only on ultrawide lens
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Paragonic:
Nice! Which setting would I change to increase exposure a bit on main cam? Looks a bit too dark outdoors on human subjects vs the oop9 cam. I agree that shadows look much better now
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
There are many ways you can do that. The most painless way (not to mess with the settings) is to use tap to expose on the face and then use the exposure slider as you wish.

Another thing you can do is to increase exposure compensation for the main lens (settings - processing functions - exposure compensation).

Also, from the main lens lib patcher (photo processing - main camera - light and shadow submenu) decrease "HDR Range -", or increase White Level.

All of this will overexpose highlights, so find a balance for yourself.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] mike-y:
Just wanted to say THANKS for making this Gcam port. I installed it on my Oneplus 9, and it works great!

I started with your config for the OP9P, but after a bit of tweaking, ended up just building one from scratch that works very well on this phone. I'm still on OOS12, and am planning on moving to a custom ROM, but wanted to make sure I had a cam that was at least as good as the factory OOS cam.

After taking like 100 photos today (of the same subject) with both the snapcam and the OOS cam, and then tweaking the settings, I think I have a very good profile for the OP9 that I feel is better than the OOS cam now. The only thing I haven't had a chance to tune is night-shot, so I'll have to get to that one tomorrow.

this profile should also work on the OP9P, tho the main camera sensor is different on the pro (Sony 789 vs. 689 on the non-pro), so YMMV.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] kury377:
great awser to aosp img!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GolovaRaoul:
I indeed thing GCam is fine, however sometimes I want to quickly record something.

The problem is I have 4K 60FPS enabled. If the last time I used the main cam for photos and then I switch to video, the app hangs for a little while. It's a minor thing but it's annoying.

I would either want it to record in 30fps or automatically switch to the ultra wide, is this possible?

Furthermore I'm quite satisfied, thanks for the effort!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
What's the problem? Just select 30 fps. 60fps will not work on main lens anywhere outside of stock cam.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] sardelisp:
Is there any GCam mod that can take 48mp photos?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
No
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Skar1063:
Guys I'm new here so greetings thanks alot to the creators of the lmc and Arcide your a rockstar that's a really cool config there.

So just to know i own an OP9Pro and can't get the most amazing function of the Lmc/gcam to work that is the photo sphere lmc crashes as i start it please let me know if you guys are facing the same
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Thanks, this looks much better on my 9. I usually find GCam to be blurrier than OOS cam but this is great.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] WarVic[NZ]:
Recently I had both of them. The comparison shootout beetwen these two phones with Xperia 1 III showed that S21 FE SD edition takes better shots nearly in all conditions. Actually I was quite shocked by it. Infamous Galaxy's oversaturation is basically gone, colours are close to natural too.

Arcide OP9P v4 XML for LMC 8.4 R9 GCam

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Download the APK from the quoted post, if you don't have it already (always use the snapcam version)

- Place the XML in Internal Storage\LMC8.4, load it by double-tapping the black area around the shutter button

CHANGELOG:

- A lot of small changes and optimizations. Increased sharpness and denoise for ultrawide and tele, decreased sharpness for front lens. Increased denoise for main in low light...

NOTES:

- Merge 3 for main and wide

- Merge 1 for tele and front

- 4K video doesn't work on OOS 12

- 60fps works only on ultrawide lens
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Sigray:
@Arcide : is the NS working? Do I use your libs too? Thanks
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Yes, night sight working fine. You can always use manual exposure time or ISO lock by long-pressing the gallery icon.

My xml's never need a lib, as they are merely alternatives.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Sigray:
Is it possible to remove white dots from tele cam photos?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
No, not possible
[OnePlus 9 Pro] golfgtiedition30:
Awesome thanks for this 👍
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Sigray:
Bad news :(

I should switch to another model with flawless gcam
[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
There is no such thing as "flawless gcam". No matter what phone you get.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Sigray:
Yeah...you are right...Is the S22 Ultra better than OP 9 Pro (camera)?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
I can't tell for the S22Ultra, but AFAIK, the telephoto lens definitely beats the crap out of Op9 Pro's tele lens.

Ultra Wide Lens on the OP9 Pro is defo. one of the "best" you can get currently, and regarding the main lens, don't know, pretty sure they're both similar S22U and OP9 Pro.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Sigray:
OP 9 Pro 3x Zoom https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/182/ERjxrn.jpg

S22 Ultra 3x Zoom https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/9270/qHZ0wF.jpg
[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Well, yeah, defo. better on S22U + the digital zoom and the post-processing is better on S22U too.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Sigray:
I think here the OP is better
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Sigray:
Is the dot pattern visible on raw tele photos too?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Yes it is
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
gcam pictures are only with 12 mp

why ?

camera hw can 48mp
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Because photos are pixel binned by default, and that's why the RAW resolution is 12MP
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bubobih:
My wife get s21 ultra and i have op 9 pro. My camera is **** compared to s21 ultra. Deep ****. Im disappointed
[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
That's pixel binning, not the "Native" resolution of the photo.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
but the resolution is always 12mp, not only in low light scenes, so it is not pixel binning

pixel binning only reduce the resolution in low light scenes

on stock os i had the full 48mp at high light scenes
[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Only if you enabled it, not by default.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Nope, pixel binning is all the time unless you disable it. By default 48MP picture taking is not enabled. OnePlus is one of the only manufacturers that allows you to disable it and it only works with their camera software so you will have to choose your priority.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
That's funny. Even if we don't mention GCam but compare stock to stock. There is no big difference in main cam, ultrawide a lot better on OP, telephoto a lot better on Samsung. So how is OP ****? Maybe stock algorithms a little better on Samsung...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bubobih:
Idk just all photos that i made with both is like i compare with old nokia hahaha. For zoom i cant even explane what samsung zoom do compare to mine.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
That's very vague. What exactly are you comparing, stock to stock? If so, then it's irrelevant - any stock camera is trash. If GCam, then which Gcam and config? Do you have any examples? Saying OnePlus is **** doesn't mean anything when you put it that way.

Also, those Nokias are from the time when things were done right. I watched a review of the Nokia 808 a few days ago which is now a decade old (!), and it's mind boggling that it can give natural photos with better quality than most flagships today. With the power of software we have today, you'd think we'd have something out of this world. But no, all manufacturers choose to tune their software to produce ****ty overprocessed photos, because kids like it when their pics "pop" on instagram. Nobody cares about the actual quality because it will get compressed when you put in on social media anyway.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bubobih:
I try some gcam but didnt notice any difference can u send me some gcam and config
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
I don't use the stock camera except for comparison purposes on some ocassions. Here are some samples that I kept (from each of the lenses). Ultrawide is probably the best of the bunch when it comes to the stock camera. Also, this is probably one of best examples from the main lens, as stock usually loses much worse.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
ok, the normal pixel binning is all the time

the new Adaptive Pixel Binning works dynamic and pixel binning is only in low light scenes activate

my fault, i thought the 9 pro supports this

it is possible to disable pixel binning on custom roms ?

pixel binning is only a software feature or not ?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
You cannot disable pixel binning without the stock camera software.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
but why ?

its only a software feature of the stock software and not a hardware feature, or not ?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Correct, it's a software feature. The default configuration is pixel binning and the software adds the ability to disable the binning. Without the stock software, it's currently not possible to remove the binning.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
ok so the sensor sends only 12mp and not the real 48 mp to the camera app ?

i thought the sensor sends always 48mp to the app and the app reduces it to 12mp :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
The firmware in the camera is programmed to shoot at 12MP using pixel binning. I don't know if the software is upscaling that output or overriding the setting but I would assume it's the latter based on my own usage of the feature seeing how upscaling would add noticeable blur that doesn't exist.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Binning is actually in-hardware
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Right but what is the software doing to remove it is the question.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
ok thx, but why ? to reduce CPU utilization ?

all photo modifications in software should be the best way to get the best result

f.e. on my standalone camera i only use raw and make all modifications at the computer
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Why? Because you get better signal to noise ratio (=better quality), which is the whole point of binning. It's not the same as software downscaling.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
the best result you get with manual changes in photoshop

all prof user use raw and make all changes at the pc
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Uhh... what do you mean best results? Pixel binning and RAW format are not exclusive. On the contrary, RAWs you get are ALWAYS binned.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
i mean on my standalone camera i use the full resolution with raw (pure sensor data) and make all changes, brightness, noise reduction... with photoshop

and with pixel binning, raw is not the pure sensor data on mobile phones
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Well your standalone camera doesn't have binning right? Of course it's better to use full resolution instead of downscaled photos
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
yes no binning, pixel binning only a mobile phone "feature" cause the very small sensors with high megapixel
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Why put the quotation marks? It's a useful feature. By joining multiple pixels you get better quality, and that's what you want to use in lower than ideal light conditions. In perfectly good lighting you can get the benefit of full resolution (in stock camera). The fact that the manufacturer's software tuning is trash, which makes the full-res basically useless, is a whole another story.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
cause it were a useful feature if it were optional for newbies and not fix for all

professional user want the original pure picture and want to make all changes self

standalone cameras have a newbie mode (all things automatic) and a professional mode with only pure sensor data
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
You're kinda whining over nothing. Like you said yourself, it's a phone with a very small sensor, and binning gives you better quality. RAW is still there for those who want the flexibility in post processing. An option to switch to full res RAW with GCam would have been even better to have as an added alternative.

However, having GCam with thousand-and-one adjustments so you can fine tune everything is awesome. To be honest I'd take this binned RAW (with merging) from GCam over the single frame RAW from stock cam any time of the day, even if stock RAW was full-res.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ivrabec985:
Hello, did anyone notice battery drain beacuse of GCam? When I uninstalled LMC I think my battery drain is less noticable. Anyone with similiar observation?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xerves78:
thats the point, only real raw, full resolution, is useful.

thats give you the best results, not the binning of the cam

the binning raw is useless
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Bruh... Stock app RAW isn't full-res either. And you really think single frame RAW is better than stacked? Again, we're talking about mobile sensors
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Only when the app is used
[OnePlus 9 Pro] reforo.es:
Hello good morning, I have a OnePlus 9pro, with lineage the last, and I have GCAM installed, because when I use App of the camera and I want to open the last photo I have taken because it opens a moment but it closes and the screen stays black, Do you know what can be?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
When I double-click the power button to open the camera it goes to the front [selfie] camera instead of the default rear camera.

I can't find any options in settings to set it back to the normal camera.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using LMC8.4_R9_snapcam.apk

It did this with Carbon and Android 11 and now it's doing it in Lineage with Android 12.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] morpheus620:
i have installed crdroid with oos11 base and the 3,3 zoom cam not working. i have a black viewfinder.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Well actually it seems like a common thing with crdroid, other people also complained about it, so it has to be some rom related issue. Maybe ask the crdroid dev about it and please share a solution if you find it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] morpheus620:
The zoom camera works with MTSL GCAM.

E: LMC R10 is working.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Did you download R11 with the oneplus/snapcam package?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] morpheus620:
yes i have and not working.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TraktorHenk:
Hi all, this is all a bit new to me with all the different versions and config files. Maybe you guys can help me.

- I want to use GCam, but more specifically make the maximal use of my camera (best would be running stock OOS camera)

- I run the PixelExtended rom based on OOS12 c.48
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Trust9:
i also use PixelExtended rom based on OOS12 c.48

I have tested many different GCam versions. Either the zoom camera doesn't work (blackscreen) or the app crashes randomly.

The only version that works reasonably well is the NGcam from Nikita.

NGcam

Edit: But works only with the XML "YouLop09-OP9ProNikita".
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
If it crashes randomly or you have black screen, then you're (most likely) doing something wrong. There's no reason why Nikita 8.2 would work better than any other mod.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Trust9:
what am i doing wrong? I would be happy if I can use the other mod

- clean flash rom based on oos c48

- copy xml to internal memory

- install gcam mod

- import xml in gcam
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Can you show a screen recording of the issue? Are you using the snapcam/oneplus package? Factually crdroid users were having issues with aux lenses, but everwhere else is fine if you use the correct package
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Trust9:
I am very happy to do that. I hope you can give me a tip. I would like to use the LMC version. It looks really really good

In the recording I use version:

LMC 8.4 R11 GCam Oneplus.apk from Telegram + Arcide-LMC8.4-OP9P-v4.2.xml

Edit: I have installed the Nikita version again and also made a recording
[OnePlus 9 Pro] forever_lol:
Thank you for keeping the thread alive @Arcide

I would say this cam takes much better/sharper portrait pics than stock one (even the one on oos 11). In general pictures of faces are significantly less flat and grainy/noisy than those taken with stock cam.

On the other hand it's not as convenient to use as the stock one. If you let's say go to a trip with little kids (that are not really willing to stay still and pose ;) ) and take a lot of pics, change lenses quickly then you may find switching between the lenses and saving pictures way too slow. In order to be able to chose another lens you have to wait couple of seconds untill the last pic is processed/saved. (Maybe i had chosen hi res photos hence long processing time.)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Long processing time is normal because of high frame count. You can switch to HDR+ Enhanced and lower frames to 7, but of course that will lower the quality. Yes stock is faster and everything works seamlessly, but much lower quality of photos.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] forever_lol:
I'll try that thank you 🙂
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Let's first confirm that you have a 9 Pro and not a regular 9? 😁

I see the ultrawide lens works fine, just that the telephoto doesn't. So can you confirm if the tele is really used and not a crop on main on Nikita? I mean that's highly unlikely, but just to cross out these easier options.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Trust9:
yes it's really a Oneplus 9pro ;)

It also uses the telephoto lens. I checked it with my finger. The lower lens is used (under the Hasselblad logo).

Please look at my screen capture again. If I switch to Portrait, the telephoto lens also works. When I switch back to Camera, the screen goes black again.:unsure:
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Okay this is good at least lol.

It's always difficult to find out the issue, since we're talking about custom roms, it can go both ways. Also it could be either that the original 8.4 version of the mod has some incompatibility or just this tweak by Hasli. What about AGC and Shamim 8.4 versions, did you try them?
