[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Maxazarov19:
Dear friends, greetings to e noveryone! After so much time, when a more or less stable AGC finally came out, I’m releasing my anniversary config - Mazar X for AGC 9.1 V7.0 for S23u

This config is unique in that it essentially has 3 configs in 1 - ASTRO mode, a full-fledged Sport with shutter speed limitation and a regular config (thanks to the customization options in AGC9.1 and this is implemented in separate tiles/modes. I’ll describe how to use all of this below , and will provide screen recordings for clarity. That is, you no longer need to separately download and apply the ASTRO config and Sport).

The config is presented in two versions - Mazar X and Mazar X with an "L" at the end. The first is a regular config (with many tiles, more suitable for advanced users who want to get maximum modes and capabilities), and a Lite config (marked “L” at the end - this config is for beginners, or for those who don’t want to mess with extra shooting modes/tiles. About it below in the usage notes. PLEASE READ!)

Changes and improvements relative to the previous V9 config:

1) NEW! Thanks to the ability to separately adjust the shutter speed in each tile, I added ASTRO NS and SPORT NS. I’ll write about them below

2) NEW! Added MAX HDR NS mode - differs from HDR NS in the large number of frames in stitching and overall quality (longer processing).

3) The noise reduction has been completely redesigned on all modules, taking into account the detail/noise balance.

4) the logic of Spatial noise for NS modes has been reworked

5) The sharpening structure has been redesigned for all configs (thanks to JavaSabr for the idea of controlling the polysharp through the Sharp Gain parameter, thereby moving away from global parameters)

6) light and shadows have been completely redesigned. Some adjustments have also been made for bracketing in order to create more voluminous images and eliminate overexposure in both ZSL and NS modes. Brightness has become more balanced and predictable (still being tested)

7) Improved white balance - now it has become more predictable and does not wander as much as in 8.8. Yes, mistakes happen, but it has become more stable and less green now, and the blueness inherent in older gcams has become less noticeable

8) Major reworking of post-processing for all shooting modes - now HDR NS, VIBRANT HDR NS and other NS modes are processed faster, so you can click frames without waiting for the end of processing (there are nuances, be sure to read below!!!!)

9) post-processing settings have also been made, aimed at improving the overall quality of photo processing, temporal binning parameters have also been adjusted.

10) Various minor fixes related to general improvements in camera stability and performance, as well as improvements aimed at focusing accuracy

Shooting and destination modes:

Main ZSL - main mode, zsl. Designed for many scenarios as a kind of universal mode. (Use like ZSL, that is, without using night mode)

Vibrant ZSL 🎨is the same as main ZSL, but with brighter colors and greater contrast, who suddenly needs more colors (use like ZSL).

HDR NS 🌅 🌃 is essentially the same as main zsl, but with a wider dynamic range, since it is HDRE(NS). Use only with NS(Night Sight)! (Not ZSL!) . When driving, this mode is not very suitable - there may be strong blurring

Vibrant NS 🎨 🌄 - the same as HDR NS, but more saturated and contrasty (use with NS)

Dark HDR NS 🌚- if you need a muted night, or an atmospheric photo of some beautiful buildings, signs, etc. - you may like the mode. Purely the mode is at your discretion (use with NS).

Bright ZSL ☀️ - the same Main ZSL mode, but brighter. Good for a sunny bright day. To your taste, if you need more brightness and lighter shadows.

SPORT NS 🏃 - mode for moving scenarios. The shutter speed is limited to 1/115 minimum, use in normal lighting, in the evening and at night the results will not be very good, so I do not recommend it. This mode should be used ONLY IN NIGHT SIGHT! Therefore, shutter speed in zsl cannot be limited.

MAX HDR NS i 🌅 🌉s the same as HDR NS, an exact copy, but of higher quality due to the fact that 41 frames are stitched together instead of 25 as in HDR NS. For those who don’t care about long processing and are willing to wait for the end of processing, feel free to use HDR NS together

ASTRO NS 🌠 is a separate mode for ASTRO photos. Takes a photo in about 10 minutes or more. Use in NS! And plus turn on the ASTRO shooting button in the viewfinder so that the stars light up along with the month on the shutter button.

Notes on using my config:

1) The speed of image processing in 9.1 has generally become higher. For example, in HDR NS mode you can take the next frame without waiting for the end of processing, and in general the processing itself has become 2-3 seconds faster than in 8.8, but taking 5 or more frames in a row heavily loads the processor, so every 5th frame will be with less number of personnel (i.e. defects). Therefore, it’s better to wait until the end of processing or take 4 frames in a row and wait for them to finish processing and then again 4 frames, etc. The point, I think you understand

2) if you turn on any tile marked NS, the camera will automatically turn it on - you have nothing to worry about. But! When you exit the camera, NS flies to the regular “camera” and you need to swipe right again to NS. Don't forget about it! The eternal problem of Gcam...

3) Sport config is a separate tile. It’s easy to guess that it’s easier to catch movements on it. Previously, it was defective due to the impossibility of adjusting the shutter speed in a separate tile, but now this is possible. And it can only be used with NS, since the shutter speed in it is limited (not in ZSL)

4) Astro config is also a separate tile and to launch it you need to turn on the Astro button at the top of the viewfinder and place the phone on a tripod. Then you just wait for the process and the end of filming. I can’t say the exact time, perhaps ad infinitum (yes, yes), so when to stop the shooting process is up to you to decide! Don't think that the camera is frozen!

Basically, that's all. Yes, Gcam is not perfect, random bugs, artifacts, etc. may occur. Sometimes it doesn’t depend on us, who make the configs, but on the developers.

A lot of work has been done, so I hope for your support. I regularly release configs, but in my group in Tg, so if you want, join if you want to receive the most current ones. I post only thoroughly stable works on XDA, I hope for your understanding.

Good luck!
