Hi @The Mero ,

Wow, never thought I'd turn into Gordon Ramsey, but it's "clear, night and day" (there, did it... classic saying) that GCam is waaaaay better than stock with that example. Everything is way better....

Clarity/Brightness

Detail

Colour

And I thought my stock cam took good shorts, that example does show how good...

As said, I was really impressed with the night shots I took when originally downloaded. Still not had any day time shots yet... lol. Went out after work the other day, straight from work went home and straight out again for family occasion/meal. By time came out, it was dark as we waited around cars.... Took some night sure, and wow... so clear, so bright...

Yeah I hope there is some LibPatcher in future releases....

But as you said, whack those that need a bost into Snapseed afterwards... wow, that really really makes a difference.... Have you played around with the "Pop" settings??? the details in those shots, its like its a completely different photo...

-- darn it, called away again before finishing....

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Thankfully there's not many settings to change lol . I use pixel 4 for interface and model , sabre merge and change colour filter arrangement to GBRG ( although it don't seem to make any difference from leaving it off ) . I think white balance is better left off , gives a real pop in colours compared to leaving it on.

By the way I levitated over the bypass to get those shots , right after getting me moderna booster too 😂😂😂
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] arkhoirys:
The latest version of BSG GCam really does look the best at the moment.

Hi guys,

I'm sure you're checking daily too, a new build of the classic BSG distro.... sadly still no support for additional lenses yet. Pity can't enable them ourselves... :(

Also, no 'manual' stablizer options on video, just a one style fits all.... I like the option where you pick the stablization method, based on style of filming, jerking ;-) or quick action shots... rather than... 'enabled' ;) lol.

Not had chance to test, other than night time recording in low light. Must say it did handle that very well, both light, clarity and stablized...

It allows to load/save config files now, a few tweaks but nothing outstanding in this release. Without changing settings, still takes reasonably good shots...

However some features now seem to crash in this release... :(

Right I'll have a look at it if the phone reboots after the update lol
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] CATSUPERBERG:
Just got the phone. Tried most of the versions mentioned here. Only latest bigkaka seems to produce nice photos, but sadly video doesn't work there and it's hella slow even without hdr+e. Latest BSG is fast and looks super stable and all, but it can't focus at all. Maybe on landskapes it not that noticible, but taking a picture of a palm of my hand infront of my phone (not too close, stock camera photo looks focused) it clearly just fails to focus.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] CATSUPERBERG:
Ok, read a bit of 4pda thread. There's a build by Shamim that works on redmi note 11, it's possible to enable ultrawide and macro cam, it seem to take pretty alright pictures, isn't too slow. Only flaws i found is night mode not as good as other builds, video laging if recording in 60 fps 1080.

Maybe it's possible to make a great config for this version, but as this phone is for my father, i can't take that task))

@The Mero want to try this? :P

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-shamim/f/dl23/
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
I've tried many versions and yes bigkaka can really give good detail but you fix one thing and break something else with it . I'm sticking with the latest bsg for now . Not a lot to configure and does the job well enough ( I use pixel 4 models ) . 1080p video at 30fps looks same as stock camera . And don't bother with 60fps , autofocus constantly tries to lock onto an object.

Took this morning , roses this time of the year 🤔
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] CATSUPERBERG:
Doesn't your preview look extra ****ty on bsg? For me it looks like the lens is really dirty, but after i take a picture it looks fine apart from being somewhat unfocused

Also, there's older bsg version with ability to enable ultrawide, seems to work as well as the latest
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Haha extra soft 😆. Yeah it's to do with the preview settings , you can try changing them but doesn't really make any difference . It may improve in future releases but don't hold your breath . Stock cameras preview looks fine , then the photos look s####y 😂
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] CATSUPERBERG:
Oh, no, every app gives soft preview, but on bsg it's really strange like it's 320x200 and overly processed, there's sometimes like halos around objects camera trying to "focus" on.

Also, there's older bsg version with ability to enable ultrawide, seems to work as well as the latest. What about it (MGC_8.5.300_A10_V9).
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :

What version do all you use? snap or ENG?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Personally, I use the Eng version... as believe that's most standard (like original app name)

However, I don't believe it matters. There's no difference in App itself, just how the app/package registers itself installed... As I have about 10x different versions of GCam all installed at once via using different package names.

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Is it me or do shots look kinda out of focus with the main cam on v8 , I still think v5 gave the best results ( although the latest shamin gives more detail but has massive shutter lag ).
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] CATSUPERBERG:
Hmm, i'm on contrary got better focus on latest version. It seems to me that BSG just has some problem with focus which can fail from time to time

To contribute to this thread. Attached are some comparison pictures in low light using the stock cam against the latest BSG build.

BSG main lens setting using pixel 7 pro(cheetah) and sabre merge. The picture named with focus just means i pressed middle of the screen to let it auto adjust to the darker portion of the building.

Hey,

Did you by any chance face the green tint problem with these Gcams? I tried a couple of variations but to no vain.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Bareny:
@Danny Jackson

You could try this:

1. Turn On AWB option Manually From Setting & Turn Off HDR ++ Option From Setting.

2. Use XML , For Xml Go Gcam Setting Search Config Word in Setting Save Xml With Any Name like I open Gcam Setting Search Config Word click on Save Config type any word gjaj and Save .

Now Open Phone File Manager , You see GCam Folder. click On Folder And saved your Gcam Xml Then Copy Xml From download this Group and open gcam and double tap near the shutter button on left side , and choose xml then use.

Been playing with BSG 8.6 and I know it sounds completely illogical but I think the " pixel XL" model actually gives the best detail / sharpness levels . Colours are really washed out but that's easily fixed in an editor

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi BernardBlacksBookshop,

A-haaaa, thanks for the heads up... but despite it's quirks I've grown to love and hate it both at the same time. Whilst it has its interesting and puzzling moments, on the whole it's not so bad now... the whole MIUI is a strange affair !!! ;-) General use, and photo's are not too bad.... With about 20x different GCam apps and configs installed <no joke...> the images ain't bad. Took some great night time shots in the dark when it snowed, looked good.

And to be honest the deal breaker for getting this phone was price and that it has an IR Blaster.... an IR Blaster I hear you say, who cares or needs one of them?? Meeeeeeeeeeeee..... lol. Did look at the likes of Motorola at one point.... and the use of SD Card, even though they tried to restrict it <naughty Google/Xiaomi !!>

I wouldn't be able to cope with a Pixel, no removable storage or IR.... :cry:. Despite they have awesome camera's.... :)

Ended up getting my dad a poor mans Redmi Note 11, by getting the cutback Redmi 10 2022. Had I know it was worse than the original release, would of looked for the older one !!! ;-) lol

Hello, I'm a new member and first time xiaomi user.

My phone model is Xaomi Redmi Note 11 64gb 4GB Ram

I just discovered the software called Google Camera and I couldn't quite understand which version I should install because there are more than one of the same model in the apks I looked at.

Is there any gcam model you can recommend me?

(Install this is the best, this is the stable that installed it). xml file you can suggest as well.

I'm still looking for the appropriate gcam version since you wrote to me. I guess I have to find it by some trial and error.

It depends on the GCAM version you use, as it does differ slightly... But most tend to use the same method. Please follow this guide here or on YouTube.

I hope that helps.....?

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] DARK7BEAST:
THE VERSION YOU MENTIONED : V7.2 MTSL
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Dark7Beast,

No, doesn't have to be the Eng version.... i cant find the link at the moment, but there is a link that describes why each version is applicaable. It has something to do with the signatures and how the applications install and identify themselves when installed. Certain devices, such as Samsung or Oppo have to have GCAM installed in a certain location for the additional Aux/Lenses to be detected. Where as luckily for us and Xiaomi, we can install whatever version we like....

Which is why I have about 15-20 different versions of GCam installed all at the same time... ;-) lol

Hi Dark7Beast,

Did I....?? Where did I mention that...?? I may of done, but it is not my recomended version...

I'm currently a big fan of LMC or LMCY builds...

You're using the same phone as I am? No **** Sherlock, this is the Redmi Note 11 subforum. We're not supposed to be using a different phone. Back to the GCAM, tried one recommended version from here with an xml file and the quality (which I measure in mostly in color accuracy) was terrible.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] DARK7BEAST:
Oh I tough you were the one whose reply was it.

We do you know how to apply config on mtsl,7.2 ?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Dark7Beast,

Oh, apologies I don't recall quoting that version, not that I am aware of anyway...?? If so, and it was from these post/links, I was only using that as a source to assist/guide you about loading of config files. As couldnt find any better source for reference, so pointed to whatever I could find, even if old, it still applies to todays versions.

I'm still a big fan of the LMC (Y) range, think they offer great features and flexability...

Hello,

I love my HD but I've found a litle "Bug"... but perhaps someone has a solution...

When you open the dialer and type a name, the dialer filters all matching contacts... so far so good. When you have a phone with hardware-keys you can switch the number-type (office, mobile etc.) be pressing "left" or "right". But the HD has no Hardwarekeys for left an right... and the onscreen-keyboard in dialer-mode doesn't have onscreen.keys for left and right like the default onscreen-keyboard... for up and down (changing the filtered contact) there is the same problem

Was anyone a solution for that? perhaps we can write a litle program, that maps volume up/down to left and right when the dialer is active...

Sorry for that... I've you found the solution... you can swipe over a contact from left to right or from right ro left to change the number type.
