[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
So far I'm actually not too impressed with the stock Samsung camera on the Ultra and I'm coming from the S10+. The pictures are pretty splotchy and not too sharp especially when zooming in. Something that seems to have been consistent on all Samsung phones which is why I normally see better results using the Gcam. Also this camera seems to lag when taking a photo after hitting the button theres an annoying delay where I cant really clearly capture anything moving even slightly. I'm hoping they release some software updates for this. I'm using the US Snapdragon Unlocked Ultra 256gb variant on VZW.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
It'll definitely work. But my S22 Ultra shipment is quite delayed so I won't be able to create a profile for it any time soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
Thanks! Which one specifically did you have working?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
The AGC GCam from my thread. Pretty sure it doesn't fully work right after install though and I had to change a few settings around. Don't remember what they were though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
Ya that one keeps freezing up and crashing on me unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jericho246:
Exynos or Snapdragon? I had a chat with a guy who has the S22U Exynos, and the AGC GCam crashes for him as well. Strange as it works fine on my S21U (also Exynos). I guess a specific fix is needed for the Exynos 2200

nvm, just read that you have Snapdragon model.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
Ya US Snapdragon Unlocked Ultra. Ive been trying out a handful of different Gcams but none seem to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Will post future updates here:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
Wow this worked out great! Only have been testing out Camera mode and portrait mode so far and they both are working pretty nicely! Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] toxotis70:
does it work with exynos ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Gcam is usefull especially indoor, because with the native app, it's a mess. Shutter lag is strongly present.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
One other question - Is there a way to get the saturation to be a bit less? The color saturation is pretty extreme in certain shots and some shots have a yellowy tint to them too. I've been trying to play around with the color and saturation settings but cant seem fix it. Otherwise the shots look great!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jericho246:
In my case, oversaturation is caused by AWB (auto white balance) for some reason. So I keep it disabled.

Try taking a picture with AWB enabled, then another one with it disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] davidstjohn1:
Where can I find the APK every time I click on the link you have it just downloads a bin file
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
Interesting, I've had it turned off but I tried both off and on, still no luck either way.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
For saturation, go to additional settings > color transmission and change it to system. It could potentially become desaturated using that mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] krogoth:
Anyone have working xml?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lokto7:
Will get my S22U SD in a few days to try. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes. It was posted earlier in the thread along with instructions on how to use it. I can verify it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] krogoth:
Not working for me. Propably its exynos fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] krogoth:
No
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup. I have a SD
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Asfor_Farah:
Just did everything but it keep crashing on camera/portrait

Mine is SD chip
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
That worked, thanks! Just out of curiosity is it possible for Gcams to get the Action Pan mode that the Pixels have or is that only a Pixel thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] everybodylovesfebs:
Hi, anyone know how to work this with standard S22 SD? Followed the instructions but keeps freezing
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Anything is theoretically possible but I would put those special modes as highly unlikely (since even older Pixels don't support them). With that said though, Arnova's build actually has a lot of potential because it supports the new logical IDs that I mentioned rather than relying on the hardware ID workaround in my XML for Shamin.

There are still plenty of bugs and things not working, but the best thing so far is seamless lens switching (just like stock camera where if you pinch to zoom, it will automatically switch lenses without you needing to press a button and wait a second for the camera to reset). This also allows it to support lens switching via 4K60 (something stock camera doesn't even support).

To try it out:

1. download and install this latest Arnova Public 8.4 Build

2. go to Camera Settings > Advanced > Experimental Api2 Config

3. Enable the option there and input without quotes the following: "0,1,2,3,5,6,7"

4. Go back to main camera settings and click on developer settings

5. find camcorder.max_zoom and change both default and 30fps to 10.0

6. find camera.cam_ultra_wide_enabled and enable that option

7. find camera.cam_ultra_wide_front_enabled and enable that option

Now you can use pinch to zoom and it should switch lens at 0.6x, 1x, 3x, and 10x. I believe the auxiliary lenses can't take pictures right now though. But video 4k60 should work and if you have enough light, the lenses should switch at the 3x and 10x zooms.

I still don't have the phone yet, but another person who is good with GCam has confirmed the video lens switching works here:

I've had this working at one point, but my S22U stopped recording video until I uninstalled and rebooted. It thought it was recording, but there was no file at the end on the regular camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
Thanks ill have to give it a try when i get the chance!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kevinmtz:
Is there any way to make the front camera work with this apk?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dcap0187:
Good job, this worked great!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
It should work if you have the Snapdragon version. Unfortunately this year, the Exynos model has its front camera RAW API disabled so that won't work with any GCam build.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kevinmtz:
I have the snapdragon version, the AGC apk you quoted on the first page worked great so maybe I did something wrong I will try again later.

Edit: Tried again following the steps and it worked but the front camera stops working whenever I set the experimental test IDS, if I set it off only the front camera works, if I set it on only the back cameras work🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lokto7:
It works on my SD variant ZHU1AVBH! The images processing is so much better than the stock camera. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Ah, you're using Arnova's version. For the Experimental IDs, use 0,1,2,5,6,7. I think adding the 1 in there brings back front camera.

Made some modifications to the steps to include adding a lib file. Give it a try for even better processing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lokto7:
Yes, the processing is softer, less artifacts, but still suffer from occasional moire effect when the stars align. I prefer this lib. The photos now look a bit like unprocessed slide film scans right out of the scanner. If someone can get the tone like Fuji Velvia or Provia... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cyburke:
I'm just commenting here so I can stay on top of changes and updates to this thread... I'm on base S22 SD and looking forward to getting a working Gcam install! Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
It works for my SD, thanks @beserker15 👍

Have tried few options, found 100X works but the unique "mapping box" is missing.

Probably some developer can bring it back!

Edit: 100X is not working, only zoom-in on the display, not able to take the shots.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
New problem found.

I install Shamin 8.4 following what @beserker15 's instructions and be able to use Gcam.

but something wrong of UI, and can't get it back to normal by uninstall Gcam.

(Sorry that I couldn't upload a screen recording video)

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
It looks like you have permissions manager in a windowed mode for some reason. Did you try restarting the app? Also updated the XML in my post to reflect the new Arcide lib released today as well as switching the front camera to the main uncropped one.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
Yes, I did restart the app, uninstall it, reinstall it following your instruction for several times. Restart the phone, with/without this Gcam, it stayed the same（windowed mode permissions section）

In the meantime, I found my S22U somehow getting stuttered.

I ended up factory reset and restored my phone from scratch. Problem solved and my phone seems to work more smooth than before. But I install BSG Gcam instead（Thread 'Gcam for S22U - Snap Full Working' https://xdaforums.com/t/gcam-for-s22u-snap-full-working.4410915/ , thanks to @riirezende ）, haven't fully tested it though.

Because my S22U works even more smoothly after factory reset, I wonder if this Shamin Gcam(and lib, xml) is the root cause, or something came from my Android 11 Note10+ during smart switch, messed up S22U and just happened after install Shamin Gcam package.😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Not possible since GCam doesn't have system level permissions. Also thousands have used the configs without the problems mentioned in my S21U thread. BSG is good but 8.1 builds are older and doesn't have the same level of dynamic range so I only recommend 8.4 builds at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
I also found the photos of 8.4 are more vivid while 8.1 are a bit soft. However, the clone app I used doesn't work anymore that i couldn't take photos simultaneously for comparison.

I'll give 8.4 a trail later, thanks @beserker15 .
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
By the way, mine is S9080 512 SD, very few on the forum yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
It's only for Snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kevinmtz:
Do you have the last arcide lib you posted before the update? I updated to the one you posted but I had better results with the last one, unfortunately I deleted the file without backing it up
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Sure, I actually haven't updated it in my own S21U thread so here is the ZIP file with the previous version along with a few other lib files that I thought were also good. You're familiar with how to manually set the lib file by going to additional settings > lib patcher > custom library?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kevinmtz:
Thank you very much, and I think so, I put the lib patcher in the libs folder then I'm going to additional settings>lib patcher>custom library and I set the custom lib for each camera lens
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ol' Blue Eyes:
@beserker15 Thank you so much sharing the guide and latest xmls and libs. S22 Ultra user here and it's my first time experimenting with Gcam and comparing it to the stock camera. Your posts and expertise is really much appreciated. Just wondering if you've received your S22 yet? Posting 2 photos here comparing dynamic range of the Gcam (Shamin8.4.4v9) vs stock camera. Seems like dynamic range of the stock is better in this comparison. Just the first few photos i took. Excited to explore and experiment more. One more finding is that the "Save selfie as previewed" option doesn't work.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Sadly not haha, but it's pretty easy for me to update the XML without it at this point. I think playing with HDR values in the lib patcher could increase the dynamic range a bit further, but with that said stock is normally better with dynamic range (even comparing to the Pixel 6 too). It's the way these various apps does HDR stacking I suppose. GCam is usually better at lifting shadows while stock is better at managing highlights. I stick to GCam because it allows me to control the amount of noise reduction and sharpening being applied to the image. GCam 8.4 is definitely better than the previous builds though when it comes to dynamic range.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] riirezende:
Naa, 8.1 is good like 8.4

8.4 only works Shamin build. I gave him all IDs tô work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nchmaster:
@beserker15 Thank you for sharing how to install gcam. When taking portrait photos, the human skin color in gcam is more realistic, the details are better and more beautiful than the stock cam
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gladiator1105:
thank you !! thr quality of the photos comparing to the oversharpning samsung are insane !!

the 10x and 3x a bit too soft, can you please fix it? and the selfie is too dark in dark areas my beard is way darker than in reality.

otherwise its perfect 🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrlynch:
Any chance of some comparison shots of people or pets indoors? How do skin tones and low light motion compare?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kevinmtz:
Hi, quick question is there any way to get a button like the 3x 10x 0.6x to the front camera? Because to get the default zoom level as in the stock app I have to manually zoom in and it feels pretty sensible
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Not for this build unfortunately. The next AGC build should support it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nchmaster:
Night shot on Gcam 8.4 is too bad. Dark and lost detail

Is there a GCAM working for Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sentinel1201:
Hello

Hello, I have a regular S22, not the ultra or Plus and I followed these steps. gcam works, however the viewfinder freezes for the main camera. It works fine for ultrawide or zoom, just the main lens viewfinder always freezes. Can you please help?>?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Night mode isn't actually working per my config because I purposely choose color accuracy. If you want night mode and astro mode to work, go to Advanced > Model Interface and switch to Pixel 6. Unfortunately doing so also breaks colors so I chose to not use it.

I don't have this phone yet but Sphere mode is working on the latest build using my S21 Ultra so I assume it works now.

The latest Shamin builds does support Exynos. However since I am not part of the Exynos region, I cannot support it so if someone else wants to take it on, that's cool.

Sadly this is still a mystery. Identical S22 base with the same chipset and firmware, one can work with GCam and the other like you freezes in the main camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Asfor_Farah:
Unfortunately , even with V12 it is not working 😬

I've found a good Gcam that work on my S22

I'm on the S22 Ultra S908U1 unlocked

The name of the APK is MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix_ruler.apk.

BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix

Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix by BSG.

www.celsoazevedo.com

Once down loaded, go to settings, modules to change camera ID.

In whitelist put 52,54. 52 will be the 2.9x cam, and 54 will be 10xcam as you see in video the IDs are listed backwards

In black list put 7,6,21,3. Once you back out of settings the camera should reset, if it doesn't just close it and when reopened all modules will be set.

And then you'll have all the access to the cameras, I suggest finding your most loved XML and changes the Camera IDs to match

So what is the best Gcam for Exynos S22 Ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Raizek:
Yeah I need to experiment a bit more, I've taken a premade XML to try help with all of those settings, mostly for the S20 and S22, and then change cameras ID, but so for none has affected the this new IDs the way I want it to.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Raizek:
I'm on the S22 Ultra Unclocked Snapdragon.

Using these 2. So far everything works right. I used the XML to link all the cameras properly, 0.6 (wide), 1.0 (Pirmary), 10 (Tele 10x), and 2.9 (Tele 3x). It's in this order

Bare minimal changes to stability and get good pictures were made.

Few problems I'm having:

When using 1.0 (Primary) len, zooming past 4.0, picture to add a filter affect of pink or redish color.

Cool enough tho, using the primary lens, if you zoom in all the way to 10x, it will use somehow either swap between, or use all the primary and zoom lenses to make a good view, but the picture is sill blurry, and pink.

Video looks good unzoomed, but once zoomed in, you'll see the noise both in viewfinder and video.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] acc3d:
How do you select a lib to use in the Shamin builds? Does the .zip need to be extracted?

Edit: figured it out. Extract the .zip and

select the lib for each camera module.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ribbon9618:
Yes, this version actually works for Exynos, but there are unfortunately major issues if you want to use Gcam as main camera app, then this will need some work. For now my S22U Exynos have all auxiliary cams enabled, and they work, but there are some issues all in all.

1. All auxiliary cams work, but only in the standard camera mode.

2. If you go beyond pixel 4XL in the model interface, the viewfinder becomes black and useless.

3. When some settings are tweaked the gcam freezes when trying to change modes (night sight, video etc.). Dont have overview over what settings that causes this, but i have never had such problems with gcam on my snapdragon devices earlier (not samsung).

4. when i do have setting that allows night sight to not cause freezing by changing the shooting mode to it, then it freezes when taking a picture. Seems like there is slight issues with the proccessing that causes this. the picture shows up in the gallerydot, but when the app crashes it is deleted from the gallery as well.

5. HDR+ Enhanced does not work (crashes the app)

6. Sometimes the app freezes by itself for no reason, but i guess this will become more stable over time.

However this is probably the most stable and usable Gcam mod for now, and i cant wait to see what Shamin can do with the later updates of this!

I must say good job to Shamin for this, and i look forward to use later versions that are hopefully more supportive of the exynos 2200!

The difference between this and samsungs app per today is:

- More detail, and with less noticable sharpening of the images

- Less noise in darker areas

- more natural looking images in most situations, but the samsung is doing good as well in most situations.

- more natural looking colors (and a bit warmer)

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Google for some reason dropped it in their newer builds. If you want the lock, you have to give up night mode/astro by switching the interface back to Pixel 2 XL. That brings back the AE/AF lock option in the viewfinder.
