@f19fox: Apologies to be hijacking your thread.

🥺

Build Number: NMF26X.J510FNXXU2BRJ4

Android Running Version: 7.1.1

I downloaded the

IMG file

of the BRJ4 raw boot image from firmware.mobi, successfully patched it via the Magisk app, and subsequently flashed the patched boot image via TWRP (selecting the boot partition within TWRP).

However, the Magisk card within the app still displays N/A within the app.

😣

Hey, is it possible for the Diamond to run dual ROMS(eg. having two ROMS on your phone and choosing one to boot, like a pc having two operating systems)?

Cheers,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ryousuke:
nope... limited ROM/RAM

Maby two Lite versions of a cooked ROM?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zmob123:
Just curious what would be the benefit of running dual ROMs?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Prewien:
maybe for branded phones? easier to switch back to the original stock firmware without flashing it back for warranty reasons...

can't really see a porpouse for anything else here..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ghettofreeryder:
Maybe have one stable rom and a beta rom for testing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3PO:
If dualboot was possible, I'd have my favourite cooked ROM and a linux version to fiddle around till it works someday ;)

That's really interesting.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] phoberus:
Hello guys

The BSG versions of the Gcam mod works really stable on our device. But there aren't optimized configs available, so the colors do need to get a little bit tweaked. In the newest versions, it's possible to save and load configs. So it would be nice if we can test some settings out. I also tried it, so you can use it as a base if you want.

Some notes about the changes:

SlibP Custom lib

some settings in "Additional modules settings" (much more to try out there, that's the main place to play around)

activated instantaneous hdr+ enhanced (hdr+ enhanced but without loading time [ZSL], but viewfinder lags a little bit while rendering the final image because of the phone's performance)

Location to place config file: \Download\MGC.8.1.101_Configs

Used Gcam version: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl16/

There is also a thread for the A52 5G. Because both devices use the same cameras, it would be great to have one place to tinker.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] LanguageSoez:
Which is the apk I have to download? Why are there so many options?

Is it OK to download the fist one?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] LanguageSoez:
Wierd, the Samsung cam has way more HDR.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] phoberus:
Some manufacturers only give access to the cameras for specific package names. With the Samsung ones, you should be on the safe side. You can also install different versions with different names to make tests

Try to disable "instantaneous hdr+ enhanced" and make sure hdr+ enhanced is activated. I think the google stock libs are a little bit brighter, so it should also look more like HDR. There's also a setting to change how many pictures are combined for a HDR+ image, try to increase the value. For me, too much of an HDR effect makes the image unnatural
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] loyou:
Do the app always need to restart everytime changing lense ? And I got weird flashes on screen while trying to take a picture.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ImGonnaTryScience:
I actually agree that Samsung's pictures look better (as in more accurate to real life) when in bright conditions. GCam has slightly lower noise, but no matter what HDR mode I choose, Samsung still has better HDR and the picture looks brighter overall. GCam's night mode is much better, though.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ImGonnaTryScience:
First one is Samsung, second is Gcam. Samsung's colours are closer to life. Keep in mind that the houses are brightly lit, as this was taken in the morning and they're facing East. For example the flowers in the pot in the balcony of the left house look very bright and vivid IRL. (The sharpness of the shadows near the roof is likely due to clouds moving)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ImGonnaTryScience:
First one is Samsungs, second is Gcam HDR+, third is Gcam HDR+ Enhanced
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ImGonnaTryScience:
Both Gcam HDR+ Enhanced (7 or 15 frames doesn't do much), but first one with Google's AWB (like the previous ones), second one without. The second one looks much better, but a little over-saturated. One thing I did notice in the configs is that the AWB is set for a Sony IMX686 sensor, which I don't know if it is correct. I've been unable to find details on the sensor used in the A52. In any case, It seems that the takeaway here is to keep Google's AWB off.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ImGonnaTryScience:
These were all taken using @phoberus 's config file.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] phoberus:
Thanks for the testing. I can confirm that the brightness and colors are not quite good yet. But almost everything should be adjustable. So we still have to test a bit. The sensor I got from gsmarena.com, but is just a guess from them. By default, Pixel2 would be active, which is certainly not correct, but also worked.

Brightness correction: Additional modules settings > Lens x > Exposure compensation

saturation: Additional modules settings > Lens x > Ram Patcher > Saturation (off means it gets the variables from the lib, there are also other nice settings there to create our own lib)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] mushfiqurmasum:
When can we expect a stable optimized and stable gcam for our device. Will you please try contacting gcam developers personally? And also, please drop a link of the gcam you think to be the best one till now.

[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Valthek:
> used MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVt_ruler_libs.apk

> A52 4G / LTE

phoberus' config crashes my GCam viewfinder. I can't test the actual image quality yet since it's the middle of the night here as I'm posting this message.​
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Valthek:
So I tried Nikita's version, in terms of Color and HDR (default) it's the closest to the default camera app. I'm still playing around with the settings, so pictures to follow.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Valthek:
So, M51 has a similar camera setup with A52 so I thought I'd use a GCAM version from the M51 GCAM thread. Just testing Night mode and it's very clear that GCAM (right) works better. I'll edit this post to include more samples later.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ImGonnaTryScience:
Any version of GCAM I tried works better in night mode than the default camera. The problems I have is with in brightly lit scenes.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Valthek:
I actually tried a version of Greatness' GCAM and produced better daytime pictures, color was somewhat natural but it had better details (not noise). Unfortunately, I can't get the wide-angle lens and videos to work so I scrapped it.

I honestly don't mind the issues regarding color/hdr issues since a quick application of a vibrance filter is almost indistinguishable from the default cam. I mean it could be what the default samsung camera app is doing.

Edit: Also strange thing, low light (outdoor dusk scenario) and I get plenty of noise on GCAM compared to the default cam.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] dguido77:
Hi I used Gcamator app to install DMGC version. This one produces good results IMO. Much better than Samsung Cam. Not all lenses supported but it is a good start.

Viewfinder is laggy on A524G.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] phoberus:
The configs are only working with the exact same apk, as the one it is generated from. I don't recommend my xml. You can find all working versions and configs in this telegram group: https://t.me/SamsungGalaxyA52Photography
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Okiba:
GCamera Newbie here - Is there by now any consensus on which Gcamera version Is the best for the A52 (and by the best I assume "Stable", because it's the same application tweaked for a specific device?), and which Configuration file has the best results? Can I use the same configuration file across GCamera version, or It version is dedicated to the specific version?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ImGonnaTryScience:
No consensus yet. Each config file is specific to one GCam version. I would like to see a compilation of samples from people's favorite versions too, as I don't have much time to mess with settings and versions. There is the Telegram group, but I honestly can't make sense out of it.

You can use this apk, On mod settings change it to Samsung, on interface, use Pixel 4a and up

On additional module settings, select back lense 1.0, change it to level 3 and shasta factor on default.

P.s. there's already a lot of light pollution in our area

Anybody have a working Gcam version with a working Astrophotography time lapse? made mine a night sight time lapse with an autoclicker 😅 it took me atleast 120 shots

Thank you for the download link and the settings info!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Zamudek:
So far, I couldn't get any of the gcam apks to work on my galaxy a52s with its stock rom. Arnovo82's just never even get to the actual camera but just freeze on launch. As for every other one:

-video works, though not slow motion

-the viewfinder freezes after about 2 sec in a photo taking mode, including portrait and night mode. If the photo is taken before that, great, otherwise, it just snaps whatever is frozen on the viewfinder. Changing modes helps, but again you've only got 2 secs for photos. Astrophotography works though

-last tested version was MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVt_ENG_libs.apk

I tested with all of the latest BGS apks on the link from this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] The_Lobstar:

Check this out, this version is working fine for me now.

BSG GCam 8.3 - GOOGLE CAMERA | GCAM APK 8.6.263 Latest Version

www.cyanogenmods.org
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] S4turno:
@Zamudek I noticed you mentioned "MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVt_ENG". For Samsung phones you usually need to use one of the Samsung package names:

com.samsung.android.ruler

com.samsung.android.scan3d

com.samsung.android.biometrics.service

And so on. "MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVt_ENG" uses "com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng"... not for Samsung.

So if we look at the latest stable from BSG (MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix), it would be the 4th or 5th apks:

This is true with any modder, by the way. The version from Greatness was mentioned above, but they are using the "biometrics" package (com.samsung.android.biometrics.service), not the others.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Emziyyyy:
Change what to level 3?

Should I change interface to pixel 4a in back lense settings as well?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Jay65:
Tried "GCam8.2.204_Greatness.210627.2155Release_Snap.apk" with the a52 config file and it won't take pictures at 1x zoom. It'll take pictures on any other zoom. And even video is fine.

yes i want to install g cam on my device Samsung a52 4g
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] mikegleasonjr:
For you and those of you like me who didn't know how to do this, just download the latest one from this list:

BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port

Modified Google Camera app by BSG.

www.celsoazevedo.com

When clicking on one of the build, it will take you to a download page with multiple choices, take one that has the samsung name in it (ex.: MGC_8.5.300_A10_V9_ruler.apk (com.samsung.android.ruler))

Download and install the APK.

Almost all the features are working for me except 4K video (it crashes) and slow motion video (it crashes).

But the camera quality is miles better than the AOSP one.

Hope this helps.

Just curious. If you download a custom launcher then is it possible / advisable to disable One UI?? Why have them both running after all?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] fonix232:
OneUI is not just the launcher - it's the whole ROM of Samsung. And those things go deep.

As for why you can't disable the OneUI home... Android won't let you disable the default bundled launcher, because that is the fallback. If your 3rd party launcher goes into a crash loop, it bounces you back to the OneUI Home launcher so you can still use your phone.

However, that launcher is not actively running next to yours. It is mostly disabled (not completely, since the launcher provides the recents screen, so that part still runs).

I'm looking for a program that blocks the touchcreen and buttons when I'm talking. I have a samsung omnia with windows 6.1 with this function enabled.

No need software. Just keep your device locked all the time. When you receive call, you can press answer button but after that your screen and button will remain lock except the red button. When making call, click device lock function.

the red button is the problem and, in any case, your solution works well when I receive a call, but it is more difficult to lock the device when I make a call.
