[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
My latest config for LMC 8.2 ver R7 (I think it would work with r8 too).

R7 is still my preferred gcam, and by now I tried hundreds 😂
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
On another note...how do you best compare config values?

Is there an app, do you use xml reader, or do you go through gcam to see differences?

Also how to easily compare configs between different gcam versions, with very different menu options and incompatible configs, but to compare the values of parameters you are interested in?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Dayuser:
I use this to compare photos between two gcam apps.

Photo Compare - Apps on Google Play

Compare photos side-by-side, and eventually share the best ones

play.google.com
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Yeah, me too, but I have trouble comparing config values...I would like to understand more what setting does what in different gcam versions, and what makes one config better than another. Also, when you switch versions and configs are not compatible, but you want to recreate the similar look in another version.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
I found an 8.4 gcam version that I like - LMC-8.4 R11 Lite. I was able to replicate most of the things I liked about Hasli 8.2 r7.

I am not able to replicate the sharpness of details I used to have on x5 lens, and the softness on the selfi cam, but I think in r11 version I get less noise on all lenses, main cam has less detail sharpening artifacts, and wide cam shows less on the white dots with minimal adjustment. Also no noise model change in this one since I did not experience color bleed so far.

Here is the new config. It is compatible with r11 full version as well.

Cheers
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] LaurenceGough:
Thanks for all your testing, you mentioned you tried 100s!!

I am struggling to find that gcam version when Googling, would you mind linking me? Someone mentioned as well that R11 doesn't support any aux cams but you mention that the x5 lens works so I guess it does.

Stock moto cam has such soft photos, you can see just after it takes the photo it's nice and sharp, then it processes it and ruins it. Many complaints online about the same issue. I do wonder what Motorola are doing, they used to be better than this for software.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Here is the Telegram post I downloaded it from https://t.me/gcamlm/249?single. It is "LMC release" group, you can find Hasli (8.4 and previous) and Helena 8.2 versions there.

R11 version (lite too) supports aux lenses but you need to enable it in options. You can rename them as well. Everything works so far and I am sticking with this version for now.

I completely agree about stock moto cam - photos look good for a second and then postprocessing ruins everything. And it is quite anoying that they pretend (in Lenovo forums) that there is nothing wrong with their processing...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] LaurenceGough:
Thanks very much. It's a shame Motorola don't seem to care at all. All you see always is the same copy and paste answers. It might as well be a Chinese company that never respond. Just because they respond doesn't mean they have listened or helped at all...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dolhq:
I'm Chinese. One of the motorola product manager is active in a third part forum. However, when the users post some issue or bugs that he doesn't like, he will drag them into blacklist. What a shame for him to be a manager!

I also told him this phone's main lense use sun-glasses, because the Light Transmission is too low, just like aperture f3.4. And then he dragged me to blacklist.

Someday he found I post an excellent config for gcam, he dragged me out and download the config, and then left some rude words comments, and then dragged me blacklist again. wtf?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] LaurenceGough:
Shocking!!!
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dolhq:
but i can realize that. because this phone is very cheap in China. 12+256GB price is lower than $200.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] LaurenceGough:
That's the S model right? It's a heck of a lot more than that on other markets.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dolhq:
right! the only difference between them is the selfie camera. 20 pro model is 32MP and S pro model is 16MP.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Wooow this is incredible! Can you please share which forum is this so that we know what we are dealing with?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dolhq:
They use Chinese to communicate. Can you understand?

www.coolapk.com

you should install its app to communicate.

And the product manager's ID is "bonata", the same ID in the Chinese official forum.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] iluvxda:
Hi Milica84,

Appreciate all your good work done in getting the best gcam for this phone so far. Cheers.

As per you earlier post, I downloaded the "LMC 8.4 R11 Lite" from the link mentioned above, and as my usual habit, I would first scan any apk on Virus Total website before installing. Turns out R11 is flagged with "Symantec Mobile Insight - AppRisk:Generisk".

And just to be sure, I scanned the latest "R12 Fix 1" version and it was instead flagged with this: "Trustlook Android.PUA.DebugKey"

Are these false positives from VT? Or are there other sources can we get R11 from?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Hey, thanks for the info.

I do not scan apks coming from (hopefully) good developers so I do not know whether it is a false positive or an actual threat.

The only other place I know that aggregates gcam versions is https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-suggested/

There you can see that Hasli has R9 the latest version https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-hasli/

But this site is known not to have the most recent versions... Now I am interested in what your website will say about R9 from celsoazevedo :) Let me know if you test it.

Cheers,

Milica
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Maxikose:
How can i correct wideangle lens curvature, some fishyey effect with LMC 8.4 R11 Lite ? .Otherwise works fine.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Hi I did not test this, but I read somewhere that there are options in Developer settings for correcting this, and that it shoud be set to value 1 or 2. See which options in the screenshot. If you test it and it works, let us know 😉
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Maxikose:
It does not work. I didnt see that setting does nothing
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] iluvxda:
Hi Milica,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I am still on version R9 and so far Virus Total's scan results shows no malware detected. Will try out other version when I have the time.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Maxikose:
LMC 8.4 R11 Lite would be almost perfect i that wideangle lense correction worked. And maybe get that camera restart lense change off, but that not really issue.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] akaloith:
I am looking to buy this phone

any gcam shooting 4k with the ultrawide lens? or generally improving photo quality? the 16mp ultrawide lens should be capable of 4k shooting :(
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] raulpcamara:
Yes, i noticed same behavior here ... Post processing ruins the photos ..... FYI I turned any AI off .
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] cheemsyogi:
Hi all,

I recently noticed that i got an OTA update and the stock camera is optimised more now, i am happy to take stock camera photos, i bought and now operating in India, do let me know if you feel the same
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] fZkom2dj:
I am trying to install Gcam for the first time on my Motorola Edge 20 Pro running Lineage OS (v19.1), but when I try and install the recommended release by Hasli via ADB, I get the following error:

I have Gcam Services Provider app installed and I've tried a few (a lot) versions just in case there was an issue with the latest release.

Does anything have any advice or can point me in the right direction?

Thank you
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Hey all, it's been a while...

Just an update, I am still using LMC 8.4 Release 11 LITE with the config I'm attaching.

After all this tweaking, I can say that I am satisfied with this phone hardware. In the config I did not tweek enough the telephoto lens - it's still a bit dark and dull, and less detailed,, so if somebody has a good combination for 5x, I's appreciate it. But otherwise, it served me quite well over the year and during traveling.

I tasted later versions from LMC Hasli, but saw no meaningful improvement and some details would need to be tweaked again, so I gave up.

Stock for me is still a no-go - much worse picture quality than gcam.

Lately I was considering moving to Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, seeing how some praised the camera, but coming here and to the Lenovo forum - it got clear pretty fast that they are struggling with the same problems as we did - stock is bull****, ruining the result from great hardware. Just look at those examples of 200MP downscaled to 50 or 12MP - those shots are soooo good! Detailed, pleasant, natural - perfect. But their postprocessing just destroys everything, and as usual - even when presented with clear examples, Motorola support just give generic answers and never improves anything. And again - gcam is an option, but it requires a lot of tweaking and still it is not enough...

So no upgrade for me now! To bad, as I like this phone in other aspects, and without the camera problem, I would gladly buy Motorola again. But I think I will keep looking at other brands.

Happy holidays :)

You can fix the color bleeding by changing the device from Pixel 4 to Pixel 3 to Pixel 2 etc.. experiment and see which one won't do color bleeding.

In case anyone is need of sample photos. Here's one with the default camera (using Android 13 and latest Play Store updates for the camera) and here's LMC 8.4 R11 Lite with the above linked config.

The files have been compressed, so I could upload them here.

LMC 8.4 R11 Lite + config (HDR is on, but not the enhanced version, just the normal):
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Yep...stock is still nowhere near gcam.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] inzzzomnia:
Where can I download LMC 8.4 R11 Lite? If that's still the one to use?

It's no longer on the links posted here and Google doesn't help me either, all pages seem to skip from r9 to r13.

Hi. I want to replace my smartphone with Motorola Edge 20 Pro but I'm very used to different GCam ports for my current mobile.

I'm using LMC + IronHRT, Burial + Alderon and sometimes AGC + Admix.

Is there a Telegram channel/group for downloading and discussing Motorola Edge 20 Pro GCam ports with users photos and so on?

My current smartphone has these channels/groups and I'm very used to these.

Thanks.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Hello, as far as I know, there is not a dedicated group on Telegram for this phone (not very popular I guess), but there are a lot of individual groups for different gcam versions. Use the search function if you want to find photos or xmls for Edge 20 Pro.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] SpaceXplorer13:
There are a few crashes and bugs in this version. Can you share a config file which solves these issues?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] SpaceXplorer13:
Well, now I'm trying to move away from BSG versions. I found out that the camera takes a few pictures of you before you press the shutter button. If you change your expression right before pressing the shutter, the camera actually captures the expression you had before. I'm not daydreaming, I actually tested this for hours before writing this.

On another note, maybe it does this for the HDR to work. But I would still want something that does not record without me pressing the shutter button. It's a hell of a security risk.

Any suggestions on what other versions I could use, except for BSG?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] SpaceXplorer13:
I'm looking for a new list of the GCam mods available for this device. The stock camera is still pretty ****, so I'd rather use a GCam mod.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dado023:
just bought this phone week ago, camera muddies a lot of details in the image, curious about gcam results and configs
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] V0latyle:
@SpaceXplorer13 Please follow the Forum Rules:

I have merged your post into this thread.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] SpaceXplorer13:
I tried using a GCam from Nikita, NGCam, it worked good. This is the one. And I attached the Config file I made. Not the best out there, mind you, and this mod doesn't have portrait mode. But this config is still better than default and the main camera produces pretty good blur as-is.

Interestingly, older versions of VSG and NGCAM mentioned earlier in this thread do not work anymore. They just crash, and keep crashing.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dado023:
I think those crash due to the 20 edge pro being updated to android 13
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dado023:
What happens in portrait mode? (hmm)

Ok, so maybe its would be more interesting whats actually not working in certain mods, so we can make the best choice.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] SpaceXplorer13:
Well, I'm really confused. So what happened was, I uninstalled the NGCam so that I could try other devs, and when I came back, portrait mode was present. I'm using the same settings, but somehow it disappeared last time, and didn't this time.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dado023:
which version of NGCam are you using now?

are you on android 13?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] JerseyChewi:
I just bought this phone for my wife and am frankly finding this situation quite bewildering, not least because I chose it in the belief that the camera was quite good.

I now understand that 108MP is normally only possible using pixel binning. Fine, but is that still only possible on the stock ROM? I've tried Hasli's LMC8.8_beta_fix_LMC88.apk. The main lens always gives me 12MP unless I enable 3.0x upscaling, but that isn't the same thing? The results don't seem that impressive, at least. I tried forcing the lens to use "Rear Regular Binned" but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Even my own older Edge 2020 produces 16MP photos without any special app or settings.

Meanwhile, the ultrawide lens always seems to end up a weird dotted grid throughout the photo. I've also tried NGCam_8.2.300-v1.8.apk with the configuration uploaded above. This gave the same result.

Which is the best options for LineageOS 20 today? Thank you.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] JerseyChewi:
I've just found what I believe to be the clearest explanation on Reddit:

So I shouldn't normally expect to see 108MP files. It might be possible to get 108MP files without pixel binning outside the stock ROM (or app?) but it may struggle with light conditions. Correct?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] SpaceXplorer13:
Frankly in my experience, the 108MP mode on the stock camera is pretty useless. It doesn't work if you have less than ideal lighting or any more than a few simple textures on the scene. I used it once on a bright sunny day, in the ideal composition on a bunch of trees, and guess what - the trees looked like blobs of green cotton.

What I have found works better - is using RAW shooting mode and then export a jpg using the Lightroom app on Play Store (it's free). The RAW files in the Google Photos app don't show the full quality; open it up in Lightroom and you'll be blown away.

There's much more detail - often crossing into dslr quality of detail. That's where the 108MP REALLY shines. But beware - With a smaller sensor and high detail, comes a lot of noise. I guess that's why the Stock camera butchers photos - the noise algo is too aggressive, and makes photos soft. In turn, Moto applies post-sharpening on the photos and makes it look even worse imo.

Obviously you will have to:

a) Make your own/choose an editing preset so you don't have to work a lot

b) Manually edit every RAW file for good photos

<Side Note>

I actually like a little bit of grain in my photos so to me that noise is a plus - I can do away a little and leave an organic tasteful bit of it. More control = better quality outputs as I can put in the time to edit. Yeah it's just a few minutes per photo, but someone else might not want to do it.

</Side Note>

But, again, that is only for using full quality photos. If you use a good GCam, the stock photos are almost as good. I have developed a config for my own Gcam apk which is so good, I just open the app, take a photo, and I KNOW it's the best photo I could have taken. It works even better than using night mode for dark scenes. The trick lies in using photo resolution 'RAW format resolution' which was available in the apk I use.

You know what, I'll upload the config if anyone wants. I use BSG GCam v8.9.097.540104718.33.

[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] ab305619:
Please upload the config

Here it is
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] ab305619:
Thanks!
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] JerseyChewi:
Indeed, thank you @SpaceXplorer13, that was really informative. We tried NGCam with a config and tweaked it a bit because it seemed too red. My wife is fairly happy with it now, but we'll give yours a go too for comparison.

We are familiar with the concept of RAW, but we've never tried it. She probably won't bother here because the phone is supposed to be her convenient option. If she really wants to go all out, she can just use her actual DSLR.

[General Topics] SquallDNA:
First of all im posting this here because i did not find my phone model in the Huawei section. I know it does have a different name, but its way too confusing. 2nd maybe lot of people will notice my post if i post it here.

Anyway, as the title says, my Huawei Gr3 2017 doesn't have the Volte setting. Im curious, because i assume, this device is an LTE+ phone, how come it doesn't have the VOLTE option. My courier does support VoLTE.

Is there a way to enable it on a software basis without unlocking bootloader cause we all know thats kinda impossible right now. Im seeing code that doesn't work with my device, so yeah i already tried that route.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] astroboye:
Hello.

I'm looking for a proper tutorial for my MI9TPro coz I didn't find one that works for my phone.

Each time I try to root my MI9T pro it finish stuck on fasboot mode.

I open the boootloder (2mn with MIunlock) then I can send twrp (twrp-3.4.0-10-raphael-mauronofrioI ) as well and magisk 20.4 too. But even I format data each time I install the rom it is impossible to return to recovery and the phone is stuck on fasbooot, nothing works so I have to use miflash and return to start. Root works with a rom but when I want to go to the recovery it is stuck on fasboot. I tried many files, vbmeta, etc, but nothing works.

If someone can help me solve this problem I could finally use my phone. Thank you for your help

Hi

In the download mode of my Samsung galaxy m12 it is written , among other things , this :

kg states : Broken

warranty void : 1( 0x0e02 )

AP SWRev: B : 2 REDMI

I've already searched the web about kg states: broken, but I couldn't find anything about it.

All I found was about kg states : prenormal

many thanks

ps: My phone is rooted according to this link
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Samsung's Knox Guard knows of these statuses: prenormal, competed, allzero, and broken.

You get shown status broken because you rooted phone's Android.
[General Questions and Answers] cater2:
thanks for the reply

but what caught my attention was that i got this status after I rooted the phone the second time.

At first it was written solving or something....

So I searched the web about it , to get more details about the broken status , but so far I have not found anything about it , in a more detailed way ....
[General Questions and Answers] Izoh George:
Visit a software technician near you or alternatively if your prefer doing things yourself; download and activate Unlock Tool v2021.xx and register license. It has options for changing KG State to "locked/prenormal/completed" whichever you pick. N/B You need to know the pcb testpoint (just google). Hope that helps.
