[One (M9) Android Development] bunchofdutch:
Hi all, à question about battery life: how do you maximise it with this ROM? Is there a particular version of ggapps for example, that helps to save battery? I currently use opengapps and drain is fast.
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
What apps drain it?

You can maximise it by underclock the cpu with root.

1,7ghz on littel and 1,7 on big should be good.

I just wanted to provide a fast rom, so this phone is still enjoyabel in these years.

If you have ever problem with reboots dont hesitate to ask here. @bunchofdutch

I would also check how many "mah" your battery can still handel, try 3C battery monitor and after a while you will see how many you have left.
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
I also have crdroid 8.6 for it but i will not update it couse the camera is bit broken and after some source changes more stuff got broken and i was unabel to find the problems yet. But still if you dont need camera that much 12 is good to go besides that it dont gets any updates. https://www.mediafire.com/file/mqvljyg0zowpe6b/crdroid_8.6.hima.zip/file
[One (M9) Android Development] bunchofdutch:
Much impressed by your support for this phone! Has anyone gotten gcam working on hima + crDroid 7 (Android 11)?
[One (M9) Android Development] zamarro71:
Como lo instaló?
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
Twrp, select install, then image search for the ***.img for boot image and swipe for install. But its not really 70hz. It only get maximum to 63hz. But still its faster then normal one.
[One (M9) Android Development] devilgloom:
Hey @platinumthis first of all a big thanks for support this phone for long time

In last built I have problem with gapps no matter nik o open gapps i flash the result same stuck on boot logo but without gapps just rom only i try four times flash until boot to os also i try 3 different versions twrp and results the same

Currently i use the built before last It work perfectly with gapps and just one time flash to boot os

Thanks again for built rom for our device
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
You could also try to backup the boot image in recovery, and then restore in last release.
[One (M9) Android Development] driodbouhafs:
hello, im loving the rom but there is this issue of frequent rebooting, whenever i shut down my phone and try to turn it on again it keeps rebooting med boot ( it turn off when the boot animations start after 2-5 seconds), it takes around 10 to 20 tries for the phone to finally boot and stay on, any idea why? clean install btw.
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
Its kernel problem, i tried to undervolt but its not stabel sadly, when the phone is too cold its reaches high max freq which is not well tested when its cold couse it get quick warm. For now you can use this kernel https://www.mediafire.com/file/duj8oz9lw6t6bu8/Schnelle60fps70hzbootandroid11.img/file I may give an update sometime.
[One (M9) Android Development] ghostENVY:
Getting an M9 soon and thinking of flashing this Rom asap.

Thank you for your service if you need any testers I'm here.
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
Cool, iam planning to continue 11, i have overclocked kernel and a feature which lower CPU frequency based on battery lvl. I still like this phone and its my daily driver, i even manager to Boot Android 14 on it but iam just unabel to fix the cam so thats why still use 11 haha
[One (M9) Android Development] ghostENVY:
I just finished flashing the Rom, coming from HTC M7 and M8 it was definitely a challenge having to decipher everything but man the rom process was so smooth and I didn't even need GApps! I love a clean experience like this one and it came with VIPER too! Amazing!

I love tinkering with settings , Please let me know if you decide to release the kernel with additional tweaks or optimizations. I love messing with voltages, governors,hotplugs etc. Although im not sure if the change to ARM64 affected voltage scaling etc.

I'm even willing to test Android 14 I don't really use the camera that much haha
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
I updated the OP with the link, i suggest you dont try hotplugging, i tryed a lot and its always worse xD
[One (M9) Android Development] ghostENVY:
So far so good! ROM is running great! What are your plans for this ROM any chance you back port some of the kernel, thermal settings from other popular Roms? Excited for the future of this!

By any chance do you know how we can see the PSV or bin of this chipset?
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
I dont know what you mean with PSV or bin, about the thermal you dont need anything, i played with that a lot, its in the best state. i

I had tunables for that to set via kernel manager but they never worked. I have done pretty much everything to gain performance on this hima
[One (M9) Android Development] ghostENVY:
Running the rom for a couple of days now. I love it thanks for keeping the dream alive. Using the phone as a daily driver.
[One (M9) Android Development] CyanRose:

If you formated it in f2fs and then to ext4 again, and then tryed to start it again, the data is gone. f2fs is not supported and will not work.
[One (M9) Android Development] CyanRose:
thanks you are you had a option for download old versions 7.38 is too instable
[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
I have a update now, should be good and fast
[One (M9) Android Development] ghostENVY:
it's definitely fast and stable, maybe he doesn't like the dynamic frequencies change?

Any plans on the ever releasing android 14 alpha? I'm enjoying all the features this rich rom has.
[One (M9) Android Development] ghostENVY:
Sorry for the double post, I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with IR blaster or if that's an issue that is known?

Edit: seems that the newest iteration doesn't have the problem I was using an older build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] wgraz:
I'd grateful if someone could explain the Edge Lighting and why it doesn't work on One UI 3.0/3.1. I always thought Edge Lighting is a light indicator left on WHEN YOUR SCREEN IS OFF (like an LED notification) indicating you already received a Call/Text/Etc since you last touched your phone. I don't know why the Edge Lighting settings are located inside the Brief Popup Notifications settings because Brief/Detailed popup settings are not specific to Edge Lighting or the AOD blackscreen. Doesn't make sense.

This is what I have:

-Brief Popup Notifications - ENABLED (all apps selected),

-Edge Lighting - BASIC DESIGN

-Show even while screen is off - ENABLED

-AOD - SHOW ALWAYS

And when I get a missed phone call/text while the screen is off, the lock screen displays the notification panel there for a few secs and then goes off again. NOTHING on the AOD/black screen during or after the call. I get a tiny blue handset icon below the clock on AOD indicating missed call. Even if the phone is turned over... NOTHING. Does NOT make a difference if Detailed Popup Notifications enabled (Edge Lighting OFF).

Since this is no longer working or the way I expect, how do you tell if you received a call/text/etc if you were away from their phone by glancing at it? Is AODNotify or similar 3rd party app the only alternative? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] thegios:
Moved from a Xioami to a Fold3 and I'm wondering the same. Is it so difficult?

But... let's say I could live with brief pop up the way it's implemented, my question is: why brief popup works with some apps (Whatsapp, messages, LinkedIn) and doesn't with others (Gmail, outlook)?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GalaxyA325G:
So that others will benefit (given I tested almost a dozen Google GCam APK ports before I found an APK which finally worked)...

This post explains how to install the Penguin Google GCam port on my new Samsung Galaxy A32 5G (Model SM-A326U).

Installing the Penguin Google GCam Port on the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GalaxyA325G:
So that others will benefit there is a Wichaya GCam camera port that also works on my Samsung Galaxy A32 5G (Model SM-A326U).

Much to my surprise I was able to install BOTH the Wichaya and Penguin ports on the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G at the same time.

Unlike the Penguin port, this Wichaya GCam port has completely different controls which are more like the original Google Camera app I think.

On the bottom of the screen is a slider for Portrait, Photo, Video, & Transcribe. Just above that there is a balance plus/minus slider in the bottom middle

At the top left is a settings gear with Night mode, Flash, Face Enhance, Timer, and Storage settings.

At top center is a storage icon telling you how much space and how many pictures you can take (i.e., ":You can take 10590 photos"). And the flash icon (on/off/auto) is at the top right.

Here is what I did to install it.

The second link above wouldn't install (and the config file is apparently for that version, so the only download that worked was the first one in that list above.

The GCam_5.200604.2138build-7.3.021.apk said "App not installed" when I tried to install it. But the Camera_Go_1.8.3_Wichaya.apk said "App installed" and it worked alongside the Penguin GCam port.

In case you need a second source, I found another Wichaya build which I document below for others to benefit from the effort (where one link failed but the other worked).

As always, it goes without saying I uninstalled all GCam apps before running any tests.

That app did not install on my A32 5G

App not installed
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GalaxyA325G:
To be abundantly clear there are many supposed Google GCam ports for the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G which do NOT work.

Here are just two of many failed attempts, which (if you can get to work then you should let us know what you did differently because I failed today with both).

In all cases I uninstalled the previous GCam port (which goes without saying) before running any of the tests.

Download Google Camera and 7.4 For Samsung Phones

Search for the words "Galaxy A32 / 5G" & click that link which takes you to "Google Camera for Galaxy A32 / 5G – GCam Download"

Look for the green button saying "BSG GCAM 8.1" and click on that link.

That takes you to a page listed as "BSG GCam 8.1" which has a "Download" button at the bottom which you can click on.

The result will be a MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0g.apkfile of the following hash value.

Name: MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0g.apk

This file "installed" on my Samsung Galaxy A32 5G but nothing worked. It was just black when I ran the app.

Another failed attempt I can document is this one.

Download Google Camera for Samsung Galaxy A32, A52, A72 | GCam APK

Download Google Camera 7.3.018 APK [Recommended]

First you get this countdown "Wait 30 seconds on "droid file host"

Invariably the download fails with this pink error message "Invalid File Type (GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V2.5 (1).apk)!"

Many more than just these two failed but I document these two mainly to underscore the point that if a web site "says" it contains the right download for your phone, it may either not work when you try to install it or it may be the right version but it may not download.

YMMV
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GalaxyA325G:
In addition I recommend the following cameras overall, since each has a certain nugget of value that differentiates it from others.

Penguin GCam port

Wichaya GCam port

The default Samsung Camera app (com.sec.android.app.camera)

Open Camera (has great time delay options)

Simple Camera (has the best flash control)

Each has their own advantages and disadvantages which can't be summarized accurately in just a sentence like I am trying to do below - but here's my suggestion of what handful of camera apps I'd recommend for others with the Galaxy A32 5G that I own.

Penguin moved the main controls AWAY from the bottom of the screen but doesn't do all the options of GCam.

Wichaya kept the main controls at the bottom but also has more of the original GCam options.

The default Samsung Camera has many of the options of the original GCam app.

Mark Harman's Open Camera has the best control of automatic timed snapshots.

Simple Camera is the only camera app I've ever seen which does the flash settings the way they should be done (infinite loop taps).
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Ankurnmhs:
First of all, I like to thank you very much for this post. I have on the Samsung a32 5G for about 1 week now, it has been trying numerous Gcam APK files in efforts to get a functioning Google camera onto my Samsung a32 G.

I also own a pixel so I know exactly how great the Google camera is. The main issue that I'm having is I'm unable to find any be gcam that are functioning well and also include Google's night sight/astrophotography mode. I dont need Astrophotoghy, but LOVE night sight. Its is truely amazing. Would you have any idea as which one, if any, would enable the HDR+/Night Sight included into the GCAM. From my research, it seems i would need GCAM later than 6.1 for the night sight to be present. Thank you very much for your help in these matters.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] waylo:
I so so very appreciate you writing this up! I too tried numerous Gcam apks only to have crashes + black screens galore.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GalaxyA325G:
It's good you have a Pixel as I do not so I don't know exactly what the "normal" GCam GUI looks like.

What I can tell you is that I have on my homescreen two ports (PenguinGCam & WichayaGCam).

Checking App Info, the PenguinGCAM is version 5.1 & the WichayaGCam is version 1.8.332394960.

Looking at each for "night sight", I don't see it in the Penguin GUI but if I look in the Wichaya GUI, I see "Night mode" when I press the topleft settings gear icon.

There is no mention of "Astrophotography" but to test the night mode for you, I just switched the "Night mode" switch from its off default to on, and a message came up saying "Night mode doesn't work with the flash" (which is to be expected).

The settings icon for "Night mode" went from a "halfmoon-with-a-crosshatch" to a "halfmoon" icon and the large round "Photo" button on the bottom of the Wichaya GCam GUI also now shows a blue half moon (instead of just a gray round button).

Just before I press the button to take a picture it says at the top "Night mode is on. Hold your camera still until the photo is finished."

And now, when I press that Wichaya GCam GUI blue moon button it tells me "Hold your camera still" and then "Almost done..." and then it snaps the picture.

Based on that one test alone I'd say the most likely answer to your question is that the Wichaya GCam port has (at least some of) what you ask for but I would ask others to confirm my observation so we always benefit from each of us helping the rest.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] waylo:
To answer/summarize some of these questions, night sight is the "night mode" which was quite revolutionary when it was first implemented by Gcam when it came out 2.5 years ago:

Google's Night Sight is Blowing Minds: Shoot Photos in Near Darkness

Google's new Pixel 3 and 3XL smartphones are packed with new AI camera features, including one called Night Sight that lets you shoot natural-looking

petapixel.com

Since then, similar modes have been implemented by Samsung and Apple and they are now commonly found among the major phone manufacturers.

The astronomy mode is more advanced and not on either of these Gcam versions. This mode allowed for exactly what the name implies, taking great photos of night skies.

Regarding the Gcam mods, some history:

Gcam v5 mods brought us portrait mode, when that was still a new thing. When Samsung was using Exynos vs. Qualcomm CPUs, most of the modded Gcams would work on Qualcomm but very few would work on the Exynos. The ones that did were usually v5 as they were more compatible.

Gcam v6 was when night mode was introduced.

Gcam v7 was when Astronomy mode first appeared. These required Android 9 or above.

The version numbering of the Wichaya gcam discussed in this thread doesn't follow the listing above as it is based on Google Cam Go, a lightweight version of the original Gcams, just like Android Go is for lesser powered Android phones internationally.

https://www.androidsage.com/2020/10/09/download-gcam-go-apk-with-night-mode/ describes the version found here by @GalaxyA325G

The Gcam Go's originally did not have nightsight, but it was introduced in v1.8 in fall of 2020.

As you probably know, most of the major ports can be found in this depository:

Google Camera Ports Download

Modified Google Camera ports (Pixel Camera) by BSG, Arnova8G2, BigKaka, Shamim, and others. Download hub for GCam ports.

www.celsoazevedo.com

But most of these won't work on the A32. Most all of those are developed for Qualcomm phones.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] waylo:
One more thing regarding installation, as I gathered a lot of experience looking at different GCams for my S9.

The package name of these apps is what determines if they can be installed simultaneously.

Many of these ports keep the same package name as each other.

The basic one is com.google.android.GoogleCamera. Penguincam uses this.

Another I've seen commonly is org.codeaurora.snapcam.

The Wichaya cam's package id is com.google.android.apps.cameralite

So when trying to install another cam app, if it has the same package name, installation will not work.

Sometimes the android installer will detect the other port, and ask if you want to "upgrade" it. It won't be able to though, unless it's the same author and a higher version. That install will fail.

Other times, oddly enough, it won't detect that another app already exists with the same package name and will try to install it. This ends with an "app not installed" error.

You can sort of get around this and install multiple GCam ports of the same package name by using an app cloner utility, which renames the package. This can sometimes introduce other errors though.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GalaxyA325G:
Thanks for pointing out that a different package name is what allows two GCam ports to coexist.

I use a "package manager" to find the package name where the best package manager for that purpose that I've ever seen is this one:

App Manager - Android package manager

A full-featured open source package manager for android.

App Manager began by merging the features of App_packages Info (formerly Application Info), ClassyShark3xodus, Activity Launcher and Watt into a single app with material design and dark mode to give a modern look and feel.

The list of features is large so I'll let you look it up on F-Droid or GitHub for more details.

If anyone can find a better free open source Android package manager, let me know but I doubt there is anything better out there.

This is good information where my package manager reported results for my four camera apps concur with yours.

PenguinGCam com.google.android.GoogleCamera Version v5.1 (20210330)

WichayaGCam (Camera Go) com.google.android.apps.cameralite Version 1.8.332394960_release (7311)

SamsungCam (Camera) com.sec.android.app.camera Version 11.0.11.43 (1101143100)

OpenCam (Open Camera) net.sourceforge.opencamera Version 1.48.3 (80)

SimpleCam (Camera) com.simplemobiletools.camera Version 5.3.1 (77)

Thanks for clarifying why the Wichaya GCam APK port is version 1.x while the Penguin GCam APK port is version 5.x and yet the Wichaya GCam APK port has (at least portions of the Google GCam) "modern" features like "night mode" (somewhat aka "night sight").
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GalaxyA325G:
The critical question to answer for the A32 5G is what is the "most modern" (or "closest possible port") of the latest GCam functionality?

I do NOT know the answer to that question (I only know that I got two ports to work, Wichaya & Penguin).

However, together, if we try out the various GCam ports, perhaps we can arrive at that answer of which work with the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Ankurnmhs:
I agree completely, what is the most modern gcam you can that we can use for 832 5G is the most important question. Thank you waylo for the full explanation of night sight and also astrophotography. I currently own a pixel 3A XL. The camera hardware for the pixel 3A XL I believe is actually not that amazing compareed to that of the Samsung a32 5G. It does hav OIS which i am sure helps with nightshot. The feature that actually sets the Google camera apart, is the app that gcam for pixel. With his HDR plus processing, it's taking multiple images and combining together to make one amazing image, and for night sight, it is something which I have never seen before. I think the pics out of the samsaung a32 5g prior to dusk are very good, and especially so when considering this an entry level phone. I personally am ok with the other shortcomings too, the 720 display, one speaker. If we can only get the night sight feature working on here, that would be just amazing. Thank you very much for keeping this an informative post. Hopefully one of us will come across a working night sight gcam for the a32 5g.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] edukardo:
I think many issues are related to lack of camera2api supportView attachment 5349343
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] poog:
GCAM doesn't work on the A32 for 2 different reasons

1) GCAM ports basically don't work with Mediatek processores. A32 uses A Mediatek processors (as opposed to snapdragon)

2) The magic in GCAM is "HDR+" being enabled. HDR+ is where their stacking and noise reduction and DR processing comes together...........and also needs Camera2API enabled. With the A32, Camera2API is not enabled. Without HDR+ there is basically no difference vs the stock app.

As far as I know, Wichaya & Penguin only outputs 3.7MP images at max. At least the variant I have tested and I am not sure if the images are any better than stock, and if so...why.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] yomuppet:
I'm sure everything you said is true. Take a photo with stock, and take the same photo with one of the ports listed here... you'll see the difference immediately (I did)
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] poog:
The output of those 2 ports seem to be only 3.7MP at max....at least the variant I tested....not 12MP
