[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Maxazarov19:
Greetings, dear friends! In the new year 2024 I am releasing a config for S23u - Mazar X3 for AGC9.1v10 - building on the successes and developments of X2.

The config contains many important changes and I advise you to read everything before using it! I don’t release version L, because you can always hide unnecessary tiles/shooting modes yourself (I wrote about how to do this)

Changes and improvements (relative to previous works):

1) Reworked ZSL modes and HDRE modes (NS) - in terms of noise, they have now become even more accurate. And when lighting deteriorates, they retain more details. Improved Luma noise, Spatial noise, New denoise settings

2) eliminated delay in ZSL modes, fixed blur and ghosting in ZSL. Also improved shutter response

3) fixed the loss of saturation in HDRE relative to ZSL modes - now they are identical in color (disabled Disable Hdr Portview)

4) reworked all shooting modes for lighting. The logic is this: in good light, the picture does not darken, and when the lighting deteriorates, there is now no unnecessary highlighting. If the light (for example, in a room) is dimmed, then this is approximately what gcam will transmit. I strive for a natural display.

5) turned on Max zsl analog - in ZSL it used to give strange noise reduction when lighting deteriorated, plus there were a lot of “hot” pixels - white dots. This is now minimized as much as possible.

6) also made some changes in photo post-processing, responsible for photo processing

7) slightly changed the contrast of the pictures in some scenarios

8) improved Sport NS mode 💪 - slightly improved the situation with noise, and the shutter speed is not constant 1/125 - this is the threshold for deteriorating lighting. During the day it is even shorter and the results are much better in motion

9) worked a little to eliminate artifacts in ZSL mode (do not confuse artifacts with blur)

10) many small various edits to improve camera stability

Notes on use and some points related to the camera (a must read!)

1) if you have 8 tiles, which is a lot in my config, then you can hide the unnecessary ones. This is done through the camera settings (swipe from below - additional settings), then go to Lens setting - image processing, and there select the desired lens (for example 1x), go to the shooting mode (whichever one you need, for example Main zsl), and scroll through to the most down - hide profile you will see. Click and the tile disappears. It's simple

2) in 9.1, exposure adjustment does not work normally, so if the phone writes “the device is overheated, exposure control is impossible” (and it will always write like this when you try to change the exposure), then just exit the camera and enter again - the exposure will change. It's fixed in 9.2, but the camera itself is not yet stable. This is the only complaint about 9.1 so far - otherwise it is very stable.

Bottom line

I hope you enjoy this config. I put a lot of effort into it, because I will soon be switching to S24u, where I will wait for gcam support from the developer, and now you will have to wait quite a long time for the next config. And the next release, of course, will be under 9.2 (I don’t post raw versions of it in the future). I thank everyone who helped with this config in the group.

Happy photography everyone! 📸
