The old 8.1 GCam works better than this, but only marginally. For both, only the ultrawide and tele lens are shown (0.7 and 3.8), and manual focus doesn't work. On the old 8.1, touch focus just freezes the viewfinder until you switch modes, on this one tapping anywhere in the viewfinder to focus force closes the app.

All in all, it's a lot less functional than GCam was on 1 IV. I expect this would need a serious developer to spend some time to get things functional, XML stuff won't be enough here.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] digerati78:
Hi SALL666PL, thank you for your contribution to the forums and for making this.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] shaggydiamond:
Thanks for the contribution. I hope development will soon pick up so that the gcam will get better for the 1 v. Let's try to keep each other up to date here.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] DivOveR:
An easier way to get to the configuration screen is to swipe the camera mode completely to the left (so going right) to "modi".

Still need to be quick but it's way easier.

From here you can choose panorama mode and enter the settings!
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Haldi4803:
On some GCam apps you can long press and directly enter settings.

My humble observation:

MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix_MGC.apk - This version works fine on first install. Imported the latest XML file kindly provided by @caxio.

*Edit: On version 8.5, the there is no 1.1 lens option - only 0.7 and 3.8.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] lucian74:

Simply follow the steps in post #1.

Some additional tweaks i had to make:

Settings icon > More settings.

Configuration of modes.

White list: 2

Black list: 1,5,0. Using 1,5 only will make the 1.0 lens become 1.1.

Note: i randomly found these settings from some Reddit posts, for other versions and other Sony Xperia models.

Result for 1.0/1.1 lens:

Night sight works.

Google AWB can be enabled.

HDR+ Enhanced works.

Result for 0.7 and 3.8 lens:

Night sight works.

Google AWB can be enabled.

HDR+ Standard works.

HDR+ Enhanced does not seem to work. The app won't crash, it will just hang. Pressing the Back button on the bottom will exit the app and you will be able to relaunch it.

Edit: i also tried newer versions like 8.7.x, 8.8.x and 8.9.x but they do not seem as stable as this version 8.5. E.g. Night sight crashes the app.

8.1 is the most stable one out of the box.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] moviecut:
@digerati78 how did you do that? 8.5 is crashing for me right at the beginning. 8.1 is working fine (and with the "Blacklist 1,5,0" the lens is now 1.0 and not 1.1)

Btw thanks to everyone here in the thread! Just got my sony 1 v a few days ago. So far I am really happy with the phone ;)

You do have to be very fast. I had to try many times before i got it. This is the reason why i am sticking to version 8.1 for now.

Press the cog icon, and then More Settings. Once you are in there, make the necessary changes, and thereafter it will not crash.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] moviecut:
Okay, I did it! 8.5 is running! BUT it crashes, when I switch to Video...any option I miss?

Hi all.

I use the recommended MGC 8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix_MGC.apk GCam with Xperia 1 V-config.xml

This is for me the first and mostly fine working GCAM in Xperia 1 Mark... history.

Thx for great job.

3 little issues I ve found:

1) Focus/AF is soft in the width and narrow range when it comes to lowlight,NightSight, HDR++

In brighter light area the AF is sharp in narrow field, sometimes sharp/unsharp in the width.

2) in Lowlight and very bright lights/highlights and with NightSight/HDR ++ I have black shadows over the lights. Not so in HDR+ or without NightSight.

3) I miss a Point Touch AF, selected AF with touch in the screen.

I have just found a Point touch exposure control with screen touch.

is that possible to fix this little issues?

Greetz + peace

I like the colour management of GCam. It s, specially in indoor and artifical light scenarios little bit more true to life as Xperia.

Red tones are better with GCam.

Xperia is often more magentaish.

And HDR effects sometimes helpful stronger (candle lights)

@caxio By default, 9.1 crashes on first load. After i loaded your XML configuration file, it no longer crashes.

For my knowledge, would you mind sharing which settings you changed to make it work? Sorry for the trouble 🙏
[Sony Xperia 1 V] digerati78:
I found an issue of sorts on version 9.1.

Description:

On 9.1, Ultra HDR is enabled by default, and cannot be disabled.

9.2 allows this to be disabled via a toggle in Settings.

Take a photo using Night Sight, then either tap on the small preview to view, or open it Google Photos.

In the preview, the photo looks okay (artificially brightened, HDR-ish). If you tap on it, it suddenly becomes very dark.

Here is the explanation:

https://support.google.com/pixelpho...of-pictures-taken-by-the-pixel-8-camera?hl=en

I believe this is because the Google Photos app on the Xperia 1 V does not support Ultra HDR yet, even though the one on Google Pixel 8 already does.

Workaround: install Google Gallery from the Play Store. The photo taken with 9.1 is now displayed "properly".

photo mode: HDRE SHOT, NIGH SHOT.PORTRAIT SHOT,PANORAMA SHOT no more painning and long exposition shot ( works only on pixel 8 pro),zoom works whit double tap or whit volume button.

only not works in photo mode is tap to focus fix i think is problem of new gcam 9.1,

i hope BSG fix this in the next gcam 9.1 release this not final for BSG, video not

works for main camera turn on front camera and works only in time lapse section

i think need to fix in gcam not in config files but whit right session id ,i hope BSG restore

sony configuraton like in the last gcam 8.1 where is all working photo and video for Sony Xperia 1 V

don't expect further fixes from me, it's just a game to compare sony photo pro basic whit gcam, video basic is more better any gcam video, and now we have the old gcam MSG 8.1 full working, and new MSG 9.1 full working in photo mode except tap to fix focus.

How install MGC 9.1 : after install apk , for insert the configuration file select the icon of gcam

What you see in the MGC Gcam 9.2 configuration after uploading my xml,

the usual one that I created for the MGC GCam 9.1 version but it is not possible to recreate it from scratch

without the configuration file of the MSG GCam 8.6 version where only the mode works

photo, the point is that Sony's software setup works without camera2api support from

MSG GCam 8.1 version the transition to the MSG 8.5 gcam version with the new xml configuration

usual that I imported and edited in the i bsg GCam 8.6 and it became my xml file

base is the one that manages to load the photo sensor in the correct order.

In the BSG 8.6 version the configuration of the gcam for xperia was set to pixel 3 bluline

in the various steps of MSG Gcam we have arrived at version 8.9 which introduces the possibility of selecting

the default finalization with cpu or HExagon or gpx, this was the turning point regarding

our Sony xperia 1 V I managed to get a working version of the MSG gcam 9.1

by setting pixel 8 pro in the configuration.

But the MGC Cam is a path of the same gcam that starts from the version

8.5 and reaches version 9.2, and which follows a specific order when it is in development

the first versions are always without the possibility of inserting the xml configuration file,

perfect example is MSG Gcam 9.2 , I just published the new xml configuration file

MSG 9.2 V5 was released because it was the first to offer xml configuration loading,

but I had to redo a new xml configuration file, the one from version 9.1 didn't work

on version 9.2, but with the one I created first on the old mgc version 8.6 it loaded

the photo camera and at that point I redid the configuration that I had set on version 9.1.

Regarding the MGC gcam 9.1 the published configuration file

it works up to 9.1 V13 when MSG removes support for Android from the final versions

older and our Xperia is seen at a software level by the MSG Gcam as a 2/3 pixel

As regards the MSG Gcam 9.2 version we are at v8 for now the configuration file

that I posted still works.

[Sony Xperia 1 V] caxio:
Xperia 1 VI Camera App and MGC Gcam 9.2 Installed on Sony Xperia 1 V give similar results in the photos tip and takes HDR ++ unique thing in which they differ is the management of light and color, the Gcam is better In the shots in a night mode, I cannot express a preference, between the photos of the two app, wait to try them in the new Sony Xperia 1 VI who should arrive next week from amazon.de.

Let's see if Sony has updated Camera2API in the new device Condition necessary for the correct operation of the GCAM and the new Sony App photo:D
[Sony Xperia 1 V] SALL666PL:
for me Gcam takes good night photos, comparing the ori camera app, gcam and the new camera app (xperia 1VI) the new camera app takes the best photos, the optical zoom makes the photos clearer I think, but these are my thoughts...

Caxio you buy Xperia 1VI :) ? tell me how impressions
[Sony Xperia 1 V] digerati78:
personally i use GCam purely for night shots using the Night Sight mode.
[General Topics] Spetsnazzzz:
Starting with smartphones. iOS > Android

iPhones and iCloud use encryption and they're a lot easier to stay private on. All you have to do is practice proper OPSEC with your WiFi and Bluetooth and you should be set. Whereas with Android you are left vulnerable to corporate spying unless you're rooted and running a custom ROM, which even then isn't secure even if private.

Next up is the web. Tor is too slow because of network-wide DDoSes over the last couple years. So instead use the Blockchain web, such as Zeronet, Namecoin or Beaker since they're largely immune to DDOSes.

As for the regular web? There's nothing to see on there anymore, everybody is using apps.

As for apps, XMPP/OTR/OMEMO + your client of choice (they even have these on mobile) or Tox should be good enough (Antox to all my Android users out there). Everywhere else is either dead, too many rules or a headache figuring out how to use. At least for the most part. There might be more, but just for the sake of brevity that's all I'm gonna name for this.

File sharing should always be through Torrents/magnet links. File host websites can get shutdown at any moment's notice.

Then you have other stuff like cryptocurrency exchange, VPNs, passwords and so on that I won't bore you with.

Hey,

i just bought a (used) S21, my problem is that i cant get any mobile connection.

I have tried multiple good SIM-cards, resetting the phone, loading Honk Kong Firmware (comes with Taiwan) and probably a bunch of stuff i don't remember right now.

Since WiFi Calls work, I also asume that the SIM-Slots work fine

My current guess is that the internal Antennas aren't properly connected, I have no way to contact the original owner to check if it was ever opened.

I would prefer not to open it, so if anyone has an idea how I could find that out via software it would be greatly appreciated.

If this matters, it's the 9910 Model from Taiwan and I'm trying to use German SIM-Cards (in Germany).
