Has anyone successfully got the astro mode (not just night mode) to work on any of these for Exynos? Ive tried many and usually it counts down for the 4 minutes then sits there on 0 never finishing. Junk files are created in the DCIM folder to show it tried something.

If you got this working how? Any pointers i could try?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] S4turno:
On some phones you need to manually click the shutter button (aka cancel button) for it to save the file. Maybe it's the same on this phone?

Does anyone have the config files for galaxy s21 ultra, to allow gcam to work?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Masikj:
Any updates of what libs and configs you guys found the best? It seems like this is no longer an active thread :(
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dummen:
Im using the morgenman lib and my own config on BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1z build.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
Have you guys tried any of the 8.4 builds? 8.4 is the version used in the Pixel 6 where Tensor is very close to Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dummen:
Yes I have tried it, but can only take normal photos, otherwise it doesnt save the photo properly, it only shows with a black background and some random rgb colors, then a black photo when finished processing(both in hrd and hdr+ mode).I guess its optimized for snapdragon. With the provided 8.4 libs, when i try to load the lib, it just crash and cant even launch gcam again, only if i delete the userdata and start from scratch. The xml configs works for normal, ultra wide and 10x, but the 10x button crashes and the 3x button uses the 10x lens, so its kinda a mess for exynos..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
Oh, you're not using the Shamin 8.4 build and config files that are in my Snapdragon thread right? As that config is optimized for my Snapdragon version (and the libs are too). The camera IDs for the telephoto in the Exynos and Snapdragon differ so that's why 3x gets you 10x. If you are using the Shamin build and my config, try this one instead:

latest Shamin GCam 8.4v24.1 APK

test Exynos XML for Shamin
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dummen:
With your config the lenses work as intended, but hrd and hdr+ crashes the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
Hmm, try going to the GCam settings > advanced and mess with these following options. Hopefully one of them will get things working since a lot of the settings are similar to the BSG 8.1 builds that people were able to get working.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jericho246:
I've been trying multiple combinations of settings on several 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 builds and the result is always the same, there's no way to get HDR+ to work. Something happens during the HDR+ processing that makes the app crash. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ciaoarif:
I've been trying too and can confirm the problem. All lenses work ok but not with HDR. It seems to take the shot and the app crashes. Will keep playing, thanks for the great work.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Masikj:
The snapdragon thread is still active but it seems dead here :(
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] olafsand:
Yes because stock camera app is 100x better than gcam
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] darkoj2007:
As a former OnePlus 7T Pro user I completly agree with the post above. S21 ultra camera has much more options. Not to mention that with modded cameras pictures are hit and miss. I used modded Gcam becouse stock cam was awful. Don't really see the need for Gcam on our device.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
That's because GCam still doesn't work well on the Exynos models yet. A well optimized GCam will have noticeable improvements over stock camera while remaining fast and able to capture motion better (especially under lower light and retention of details like hair/fur/fabric). Expert RAW can be comparable for still subjects but isn't good for things in motion. I have plenty of comparison pictures in my Snapdragon GCam thread as well as a more recent Reddit Thread comparing Expert RAW vs GCam vs stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] pwllheli:
That may well be true. What about PhotoSpheres though? (and 360 degree panoramas) GCam does those straight out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
in daylight I can get photos that have much less noise and look overall better than stock camera
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] olafsand:
bs, sry!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
Well I have photos to prove it lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
Okay have a look at these two photos, the first is gcam and second is stock cam. See the oversharpening and artifacts in stock camera. Gcam is much more realistic looking and less oversharpened.

I can send more examples. But you see my point
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] darkoj2007:
I am sorry but for photography I simply can`t rely on modded camera and use xml files from random people. Belive me every photo is little different taken one after another. You can use that cam for selfies, portraits and it will be ok but for landscapes, and more sensible photos where you want to capture something like you imagined a big no from me. Only thing I don`t like about s21 ultra camera is grainess and I don`t know how to remove it without sacrificing details. If someone know`s the trick please let me know :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
I heard of a trick that if you put your flash on when taking a photo outside it will make it less grainy. Idk if it works but I saw it somewhere
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jericho246:
I've been doing some more tests in an attempt to fix the yellow light problem which is specific to phones with Exynos apparently. It's very frustrating when trying to take a nice picture at night. But it can also happen during daytime in some scenarios...

So my findings are these: the yellow (or black or green, depending on GCam build and settings) lights appear when the ISO is over 2900 (I look at the ISO value in the Google Photos app).

In this example, the pic I took looks like this... Yellow light problem.

According to Google Photos,

the ISO is 3820.

Now the second picture looks fine. No yellowish lights.

And the ISO?

ISO 2584, so it's below 2900.

The common denominator is the ISO. That must be it.

@beserker15 first of all apologies for tagging you in the Exynos thread again, but you seem to know your stuff regarding GCam settings and photography in general. Do you happen to know if there is a GCam build in which it would be possible to "lock" or just simply keep the ISO below that "cursed" value that causes the weird lighting issue? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Masikj:
Well in my opinion, 0.6x photos in gcam have more detail. Also low light indoors pictures usuing gcam has much more detail. I also see that even x3 gcam has more detail. There are many comparisms gcam on snapdragon from beserker. Gcam is noticely better. I like stock 108mp option when used out doors.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
That's interesting. BSG 8.1 build has an option limit ISO. Curious but does your highlight issue only happening with your main camera or all of them? It's so weird that none of the 8.4 builds are working for Exynos with HDR Enhanced considering they're borrowing a lot of code from BSG 8.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jericho246:
Thanks for the reply.

It happens with all the cameras, even the selfie one.

And yes, really no idea why 8.4 builds don't work on Exynos. Gotta stick with 8.1 for now I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dcop7:
I had that issue for so long and I didn't figure it out why! Great! Now, how can we limit the max ISO? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dcop7:
Where? In modules -> lens -> "Auto-exposure correction" -> Limit for "max ISO"?

It is set to 1600 and it appears that isn't limiting. I've changed the "Correction (exposure / iso)" to "max ISO" and still doesn't limit it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
Yup, that's the location. It works on my Snapdragon. Make sure you're using HDR enhanced since I think those settings don't work with the ZSL mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dcop7:
I'm using like you said. Maybe there is a bug. I will test this better.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jericho246:
I should probably correct myself: the problem IS tied to the ISO, but not sure about the perfect values. I did more testing and sometimes it still happens even when the ISO value is low.

I wouldn't recommend using Zero Shutter Lag HDR also known as HDR+ because the problem occurs quite often no matter the ISO setting.

Currently the best way is to use FORCED AUTO NIGHT SIGHT or HDR+ Enhanced.

my BSG 8.1 settings for the main lens (aka ID 0)

(RAM Patcher)

Main Settings>ISO 1900

(HDR+ options)

Model: Pixel 4a 5G

Frames HDR+ enhanced: 10 (I think this value can be changed without any repercussions)

Auto exposure correction

Photo mode (and night sight mode too)

correction (exposure/iso) x4 exposure

Limit for max exposure: OFF

Limit for max iso: OFF

I only listed the settings that I changed. Everything else is left at default values.

I've taken many pictures with these settings, using both HDR+ Enhanced and Night Sight and couldn't reproduce the yellow highlight problem anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ninja_Gundam:
Which version are u using of gcam? :| xml to try ? Here there are so many version :

BSG GCAM 8.1

Chooo
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] pwllheli:
I tried to do this. 8.1 and the XML above, but I just cannot figure how to get the various lenses installed. The Gcam only shows 2 options where I expect 4 lenses. Help a newbie please!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
Have you got 4buttons set when you go into settings
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ninja_Gundam:
Thx for all, installed and trying.. btw.. no button to use the super zoom lens mode?

🤔

Chooo
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
It gives you access to 10x and digital zoom so you can take photos at 30x but without stabilisation
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ninja_Gundam:
Strange i can zoom just to 8x with all 4 lenses :|

Chooo
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
Idk bro that's strange. It should work by default
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dummen:
Well, Im not really pleased with the results.. https://www.dxomark.com/samsung-galaxy-s22-ultra-exynos-camera-test/
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
Same, it's only slightly better than last year. I hate being stuck with Exynos chip because camera performance can really suck 😕
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dummen:
Pretty much. What I was looking for is the noise.. Its nearly the same or in some case worse, according to the pics they show on the dxo site.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Masikj:

[Xiaomi Mi 10i] Saazmusic:
Don't be rose eyed for AOD. It is one of the worse, inefficient and dumb feature of smartphones these days. It sucks the hell out of the battery even if you have a AMOLED display. Reduces the battery life by straight 25-30%. It causes screen burns. Rejoice and be happy if your phone has a physical LED notification light. You don't need to look at your phone screen 24/7.
[Touch Cruise General] Winshit:
Hi there!

I got some Problems with the new SMS-Chat Style...

I used Jeyo Mobile Companion to Backup my Smses for a long time. And there are approximately 2k SMSes in my Backup. When I import my Backup everything is doing fine. I can browse my SMSes on my device without any Problems, and I can see that there are all of them on my device. When i try to read some of them via Messaging(on the Phone) there is as mess.

- The messages are not in the correct order(time,date)

- a lot of messages are missing or just not displayed

When I access my device via PC& Software i can see that all of them are there, and there are correct time stamps.

I am not sure if this is a Problem caused by the Software(Jeyo Mobile Companion), or the new chat style. Perhaps anybody has an idea or could help me a bit further.

Greetz

Win****

P.s

i am using the latest bepe rom in german

i got the xda orbit 2 from o2 (pola200)
[Touch Cruise General] bigduck:
I think you should use the PIMBackup. It can backup all in your PPC, including the SMS-Chat style. I am using HTC Cruise.
[Touch Cruise General] DennisMoore:
I think this "SMS Chat" function ist so confusing, that it could result in such problems you have.

Just disable the Chat Style and see if it helps. There are 2 programs that can do the job for you.

1st is "SMS Tweaker", which can only disable/enable SMS Chat.

2nd is "Advanced Configuration Tool". This can disable/enable SMS Chat and provides a lot of additional configuration options, such as Enable GPS Photo, File System Cache settings, etc.

2. Boot into your custom recovery and flash the file...(it is a twrp recovery.img file ....I think you know how to flash a .img file via custom recovery)

3.Reboot into recovery...

4.Then flash "F2fs-patcher.zip" via recovery (From this post)

5.You need a custom kernal which support f2fs file system.. Currently genom kernla support it..downtown it from my post and flash it via recovery.

6.Now format your data as F2FS ...

.....................................................

Step for F2Fs format:

1.Select "Wipe" tab on twrp recovery.

2.select "Advance Wipe".

3.Tick "data" and select "Repair or Change File System".

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dh350nwo:
I'm considering upgrading my S10+ to the S21 Ultra. Before I do I need to know if editing the APN settings will work the same, or are there other factors I need to be aware of.

Hotspotting is my primary way of connecting to the net, and has been for the past 10+ years. If I can't continue to connect in this way with the Ultra, what phones will work?

Yes I'm aware of PDAnet, it will not work for my use scenario. I must hotspot through the phone natively. I use in the range of 60 - 100gb each month. I'm on a grandfathered true unlimited plan.

Screen shots of the APN settings would be greatly appreciated, if applicable.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
You can go directly to the hotspotting app if you know what you're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dh350nwo:
Would you care to explain? I've used the native hotspot for years.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Can you provide any more information?

I can't tell if you are asking if hotspot works as intended on a stock sprint/tmobile phone? Like paying for the hotspot feature?

It's unclear what your grandfathered plan provides. Does that include unlimited hot spot?

Or are you asking if you can manually configure the APN to override how hotspot works, so you can use it without paying for the hotspot feature, assuming it's not included in your plan?

Are you just asking if you can edit the APN settings at all?

There is just too much uncertainty about what you are asking.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dh350nwo:
I do not have hotspot on my plan.

In order to use hotspot currently, a new APN entry is created adding "dun“ to a field, allowing hotspot to be activated without having a plan.

Here is a thread that explains the current method on older phones:

https://xdaforums.com/t/sprint-hotspot-hack-w-android-10.4023077/#post-81302599
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dh350nwo:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
This forum wants to keep this "hack" on the down low.

All I will tell you is that you need to use some shortcut app that'll punch you through straight to the hotspotting app. This way, the carrier check is avoided.

Also, you MAY need to use a VPN because desktop traffic can become obvious.

An alternative is to VPN/tunnel into your home computer via Wireguard or some other software like ZeroTier or Tailscale.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dh350nwo:
I'm going to try to be vague with this reply. You're saying a MAKER of shortcut app will be needed to get into the functionality of LTE.

Wouldn't the ##data# menu work also? That's what I do now. And by doing so it doesn't show as tethered data used when I check my usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
You just need to find a way to open the hotspot app directly.

Shortcut apps like this help: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker&hl=en_US&gl=US
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dh350nwo:
I can already toggle the HS app natively.

I'm not sure we are on the same page.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dh350nwo:
So I guess getting any help or answers is pointless?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NardVa:
FYI: On Android 12 for Samsung you can add a new APN under Access Point Names without jumping thru hoops. Just tap on add new APN (make sure to copy everything from original APN) and add dun to the apn type field. Save the update and now you have free Hotspot (data counts against your main data bucket).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
What about those who already have a restricted hotspot in their plan (high speed hotspot for first 500 MB, then switches to super-slow mode until reset the next billing cycle)?

Would adding a new APN result in unlimited hotspot? I can't tell if those with limited hotspot already enabled, would see any benefit to adding a new APN, or if it would even work?
