Ultrawide, Tele and selfie would have the better algorithm (which seems to be supported) without the ability to worsen it with the Pro button, while inferior (main cam) would use only the worse algorithm as - well - motion artifacts makes the photo - unfortunately - unusable and we cannot assume the scenes of which the photo is taken are static :).

Pro button switch takes some time to trigger and some scenes needs quick shot to capture.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] borijess:
Without reading the entire thread. What gcam and config file are you using for the s23 Ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] penfold:
I have posted an update to my xml, it should work fine inside any LMC8.4 folder.

It includes some of the new updates and improvements but nothing with hdrnet or raw as i don't use them with this app.

This is not the vivid mode xml.

It is also only for r15, i have not yet updated it or tested it for r16

@JavaSabr would you know about the screen flash that happens when you take a picture with HDRnet enabled?

LMC R16 with java new config crashes every time when loaded, back to R15 & V58
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Android083:
LMC R16 works without crashing using V58. Plus it fixed the slider during one of the HDR modes. But for some reason the photos are much much noisier and pixelated in R16 vs R15. Both on V58 S23U soft.

I tried removing R15, clean install R16 ruler, new folder with just the config - crash, with folders from v58 + R16 config in LMC 8.4 - crash, the behavior is this - going instantly on launch to video, else it crashes, i have only 1 and 2x buttons mid screen, loading the R16 config, quick refresh of the app, no additional lens addes nothing changes, crash - all that within 2 seconds max, went back to R15 with v58 unzipped and loaded - no issues everything normal, so nothing new on my side i think, same way i loaded all of the configs prior to that release
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JavaSabr:
If you make a short video about how you cannot apply my config I will show it to LMC mod developer :)

Because I cannot reproduce your issue :(
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
You have s23u or regular s23? Because with s23u it works fine with either v58 (not optimized for r16) or the new config which is specifically for r16. New config is not for regular s23 (yet)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vandal4e:
S23 Ultra R16

fresh install there you go
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
Weird! We've seen a few people having some similar crashes and a reboot of the device fixed it, like if the lens APIs were locked or something. Maybe try that if you haven't already?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vandal4e:
reboot/clear data/cache nothing changes, going back to R15 everything works as expected
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chetszot:
Will you please add regular S23 configs as well :)?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
Yeah, I have no idea sorry. Even tried just now to uninstall everything and download the apk and xml directly from Java's xda post and it worked fine 🤷
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] woffu22:
Installed r16 scan3d, xml 16 in folder lmc8.4, that was unchanged from r15 ruler with v58. Both java versions work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
Some new features in r16 that might be interesting to some of you:

1- Shadow exposure on tap. Basically if you have a scene and tap a bright area, it shouldn't under expose shadows. Example, with a window and you tap the window to expose for the window, the rest of the room should still be properly exposed. This only work if you tap before taking the shot. There is a note that the feature is a bit unpredictable so it might not work as well in all situations...

2- If you tap and then manually change the exposure slider, it will lock exposure independently of focus so you can then tap elsewhere and focus on another point while keeping the selected exposure. You'll notice a "return arrow" at the top of the expo slider when you enter that "expo lock" mode. Taping that return arrow will reset the lock.

3- Long pressing the front camera button allows you to change the number of frames used for hdr+ (or hdrnet). Long pressing the picture viewer button allows you to change the number of frames for hdr enhanced (hdr++). Those buttons are customizable under settings, Processing function, viewfinder settings.

4- Settings, additional camera I think this is new to r16 with a Gui option to choose if you prefer the zoom buttons to be horizontal or vertical.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] penfold:
Here, it is an update to the previous config, but if you have updated to r16 it will not work.

I will update my configs when i get back home.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vandal4e:
just tried R16 with v58 xml, everything works, R16 configs soft-sharp can't apply successfully and crash, will wait for next configs
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
🤔

Then for now you're better off using v58 with r15 as the same xml will have more noise with r16
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] koahhe:
Do you get the same results with both scan3d and ruler versions of r16? I am using a 3rd version, aweme. I don't know if I'm allowed to link to it here but you can find it on the Telegram channel LMC Release.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vandal4e:
that has nothing to do with crashes, just to avoid conflict with existing package
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JavaSabr:
ok...

What about if you re-create an empty LMC8.4 folder with creating empty folders:

LMC8.4/files/logcat

LMC8.4/libs

LMC8.4/patchedlibs

Then put my xmls to this LMC8.4 folder and try to import it again....

Maybe in some cases, R16 requires a full folder structure...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JavaSabr:
will be later :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vandal4e:
i tried with empty LMC8.4 folder, it automatically created the rest on 1st launch, no change on the crash behavior
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JavaSabr:

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ciaoarif:
Hi there, Is hdrnet an option n R16, I don't see it anymore? Thanks for all the great work.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
Yes, you can add the button in the viewfinder settings. Java reverted to hdr+ in r16 but I think hdrnet will still work fine on his config though I'm not sure if there are any advantages of using it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JavaSabr:
It's an indicator that GCam applied Shasta algorithm to this frame (improve quality in shadows)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JavaSabr:
Just use HDR+, the result is the same but switching between HDR+/++ is faster :)

Sorry for the delay, was having issues resizing and attaching for the first time.

I can see you've already resolved the noisy issue with the new v1 for LMC 16, but in any case I've shared below samples for comparison:

LMC 16 v1 soft / LMC 16 using v58 soft / 12 mp Expert Raw / 12 mp stock / 200 mp stock

actual color is in between the LMC and 200 mp.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ciaoarif:
I'm finding with the R16 release that the low light shots are coming out fairly dark resulting in my opinion a loss of detail on the darker areas and "dull" shot. This is based on a comparison to the stock camera and with what I see with my own eyes. The finished shot is also nothing like I see in the viewfinder too. Any ideas on how I might brighten things up? Thanks for your help everyone.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] penfold:
It looked like lmc. Stock 50mp is good is some circumstances but not reliable. Sometimes the dynamic range is completely flat, same even with 12mp.

That's why i went back and took the photo again with lmc when i saw how dark it came out.

Here's another one, the stock 50mp completely crushes the highlights of the trees, the 12mp dows a lot better. In reality it looks very close to the lmc shot although I have it on vivid setting so has a little more punch than actual.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CruiserCZ:

This is a topic that comes up often and is a point of some confusion. Have you considered disabling the 3D button in the main configs and creating a photosphere specific config? The procedure woikd then be

1) Start gcam in selfie mode

2) Load photosphere profile

3) Switch to photosphere mode - that can have all but the "3D" lenses disabled

4) When done load back normal profile

5. Once GCam is opened, at the bottom, there's a button to take pictures and there's a button to open up the gallery. In between these buttons, there is a blank, black space with a hidden button.

Installed GCam (SGCAM_8.4.400.42.XXX_STABLE_V43_AWEME_PACKAGE.apk)

Loaded the xml (S23ULTRAN.xml), that is the only one working...

I don't see the sgcam folder in root (but if I search it I can find it).

If I try to update anything at all, gcam reports a big directly (vidéo, selfie mode) and I cant do anything.

Hello friends!

What is the difference between the two APKs, scan3D & Ruler?

Is the XML namned "soft" considered more natural than "Sharp"?

I also noticed in the settings that the JPEG quality is set to 99% and not 100%, is that correct?

Thank You in advance.🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
No diff in apks. Just diff names in case you use one of the Samsung packages already then you can use the other apk.

Soft or sharp is just personal preference. The more natural is the one that will look best to your eyes ;)

99% because there is basically no visible diff between it and 100% but file size is much smaller

Anyone tried panorama mode on gcam (a y version)? I was scouting a location for milky way shots two days ago and wanted to see how it would.look when stitched together. The result is atrachsd - this was LMC R16 with the v1 @JavaSabr config. I also tried my AGC config and it had a very similar looking result.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
I have tried downloading at least 30 versions of GCam, starting with the latest and working backwards, and all of them crashed at opening on my UK S23U. I painstakingly uninstalled each one before trying the next one, but to no avail. While I appreciate that some have been lucky with their versions and can make them work, I cannot. Looking at the various samples provided in this thread, I can see no discernible change in the definition, sharpness, overall quality, etc., in GCam so pehaps I won't find the benefits I would look for in that aspect of photos? Perhaps the S23U doesn't really benefit from GCam as much as some older phones? Anyway, thanks to all for your efforts, but I am stumped.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
Come on, is like the day and the night.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
I am exactly NOT that type of person - I use a Canon R5 for my serious photography precisely because I want high quality and huge detail, and my first action on seeing a photo is often to enlarge (on a computer) to check quality. I can only go by the shots I have seen on this thread (again, on my computer, a MacBook Pro) as I cannot get any version of GCam to work on my new S23U and, frankly, if it's that complicated and temperamental it's not worth my while spending further hours working painfully through umpteen versions to see if one happens to work on my particular phone by chance. For those that have been lucky enough to chance upon one that happens to work for them - great, but I have not been so fortunate in that lottery!
