[Samsung Galaxy S23] stephanstricker:
I installed the app. That was a bit confusing because there are different ones and the one that had Samsung in its name would not install at all. Then I used this config

https://xdaforums.com/t/working-gcam-for-s23-ultra.4550019/post-88232975

I extracted the LMC8.4 folder and put it into the root of my phone. With the newer app you can press and hold the icon and select settings. The I used "Config Settings" and then "Import ready-made settings" and then it crashes. The version I use right now is 8.4.300.414775575.18
[Samsung Galaxy S23] JavaSabr:
But why did you do these steps? There are no such steps in my instruction.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] stephanstricker:
So I just copy the folder? That does not work either
[Samsung Galaxy S23] JavaSabr:
What is not clear from this instruction? Which point?

Install instruction for LMC15:

1. Install GCam from there:

or

https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/LMC8.4_R15_ruler.apk

2. Extract the attached archive to your root FS

3. Hold on the GCam icon and choose "Capture video"

4. Double tap on the space between the shot button and the gallery and then import my config

5. Done
[Samsung Galaxy S23] stephanstricker:
I was following a different instruction. The ruler did not work but the scan3d did.

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S23] stephanstricker:
So the app works and the images definitely look better than the stock app. I noticed two issues so far. The gallery icon does not work. It shows the last image, but when I click on it nothing happens. When I select 3D on the bottom right, the app crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] JavaSabr:
1. You need to have google photo app

2. :

How to use 3D panorama:

1. Activate 3D camera on right side, after the app will be crushed

2. Long tap on GCam icon to choose "Make a selfie"

3. Switch from selfie directly to 3D panorama MODE (not a camera module).

Thank you for your effort and great work. v3 works like a charm on my S23. Even on regular HDR (non HDR-enhanced) the photos are outstanding.

However, no matter if Pro or not Pro toggle is used - the photos from the main camera are the worst among the four (or using another words - the main camera has the least advantage over stock cam, it's still great when comparing to stock cam! :) ).

I carefully examined your samples from S23 Ultra thread with my S23 shots and I feel like Ultra model has a clear upperhand here. S23's main cam has some minor artifacts over finest details (leafs, grass, etc.) that results in loss of detail. Both Pro and non Pro mode produces different kind of these artifacts, but they do exist on the main cam only.

yes, the x1 module in regular s23 has poor gcam support.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
That's bad news :(

Is it possible for a GCam newbie, but IT technical person to play with some other settings for the main cam? Where could I find settings that have the most significant impact for the image quality?

I did some comparisons and GCam main cam performance is indeed better than the stock app main cam, but it's not that significant as with all other 3 lenses.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] JavaSabr:
the main sensor doesn't support RAW10 output, so it's the most important thing for GCam at all, without it you have very limited configuration from GCam for this... I think my config produces max quality for this :) (especially with the enabled pro button for static scenes).
[Samsung Galaxy S23] alfuh:
Would the next best option for close to 1x photos to be to zoom out to .9x to use the wide angle lens zoomed in?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
Nice idea, but I truly doubt this will do the trick. Main sensor, well, has the best specifications for specific reason. It will handle low light scenarios better and, reportedly, capture more detail at all.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
@JavaSabr I have tested your latest version in details, focusing on the areas I personally find could be improved so that the perfect configuration exists for this S23. I feel like v6 is the closest one regarding the performance and image quality ratio.

There are 2 major things that I personally miss in v6 unless I consider it to be truly perfect.

1. HDR+ (non-enhanced one) performance. It is unable to handle highlights and darkness so well as eg. stock sam (sic!) or Enhanced HDR+ mode. Enhanced HDR+ mode is no way for me because of its terrible performance.

2. Some noise present in darker areas. Still tenfold less noise than the stock garbage cam app, but it could have been better.

I was playing with GCam settings from your v6 vonfig on the scene below to adress 2 above potential improvements.

Photo 0 is a reference from Samsung default app. Just for reference.

Photo 1 is the default v6 config without any changes, HDR+ mode (non-enhanced). Please note the 1. referring to blown highlight not handled properly by the HDR algorithm and 2. pretty some noise in little darker area.

Photo 2 is taken also with your default v6 config with the only change being the HDR+ Enhanced mode enabled. Highlight is well controlled in 1., however the noise was still present in 2. This is also a no-go way because of the poor performance and long time needed to take every photo. Also, I recall you recommended using this HDR+ Enahnced mode for night shots, so it is just as a proof of concept that GCam can handle highlights as stock cam or better.

Photo 3 is taken on HDR+ mode, but with Stitching frames maxed out to 28. Noise in 2. is completely gone, the performance of the shot is comparable to the stock app (almost instant, no delay when taking multiple shots), but the highlight in 1. is still present.

@JavaSabr Is it possible to enrich the HDR+ mode (non enhanced one) to make it able to control the highliths as the stock app does? If it's doable then with 28 Stitching frames the noise would be removed, great highlight control on HDR+ would make the perfect GCam config, at least for me. If you have any ideas or clues, please let me know, I'd love to test them out :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
@JavaSabr I have been playing with literally all settings in Exposure and Light and Shadow processing menus. I've tried dozens of various configurations and I am still not able to make the HDR+ work as I would expect to.

Do you know if it is possible to strenghten the HDR+ effect I demonstrated above without the need of using HDR+ Enhanced mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] woffu22:
If you take LMC R16 and make a tap to focus on the highlighted zone you will get a controlled Pic also with hdr+.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
I was trying to do so with all the images I have posted above but the highlight was still present and not handled properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] JavaSabr:
HDR+ makes frames to a buffer all time with the same exposition, HDR++ starts making frames after pressing the button with different expositions, it's why HDR+ cannot handle this case on the same level.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
Is it then possible to speed HDR++ in anyway?

HDR+ is fast, pretty as fast as the stock camera. HDR++ is damn slow and not usable on real world scenarios because of its shutter speed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] JavaSabr:
HDR++ is usable for landscape photo, for night photo, for buildings photo... For people, animals - HDR+ is much better, yes :)

Hello,

Thank you for your great work as usual!

I tried your latest S23 R17 config sharp option and the detail level is even better than the latest R16 config had, which is crazy! However, I don't know why - main camera shots are not saved and they don't appear in the gallery at all. None of them.

Tele, Ultrawide and selfies work as expected and all shots appear in the gallery as they did in R16.

Is it R17 bug or config issue? Could you please have look at it?

What does this AWB switch do? It is enabled by default on your configs. I didn't change anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] JavaSabr:

it gives me an error saying app not installed as package appears to be invalid. Also it prompts to update, am pretty sure i havnt installed any version of this cam, or any came, the only existing is the default samsung camera
[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
I'm not sure which apk you have pointed out, but the GCam works on, so to say, other Samsung apps. It replaces them in such a way that Galaxy Store app is not aware what are you using - the Samsung real app, or the GCam.

For instance - the LMC8.4_Ruler for Samsung replaces Quick Measure app. If you had true, Samsung's Quick Measure installed, then you would have error you posted.

Make sure you uninstall Quick Measure app if you use _Ruler GCam apk name. I'm not sure which app the second GCam for Samsung replaces.

Here are some pictures from vacation with S23, LMC17 Java v6 sharp.

Can't say if it was HDR+/HDR++/expo button on or not, because I did different shots with different settings.

And keep in mind this is base S23.

Really like the result! Except few, most are very great. Trees/leeves is not that good I think.

Note: these are personal pictures from vacation visiting a city, please do not judge/comment the picture itself, we have to stick to technical discussion.
