Just got pushed new firmware 51.1.A.12.27.
From what I can see the stock camera app has an added Bokeh and Black and White option taking advantage of the Dual Camera Setup. Anyone see anything else?
Nothing on my USA version yet
Got mine yesterday. Only difference I see are the two new modes (bokeh & monochrome) for the double camera when in superior auto mode, which is what I expected, as I read that plus the August security updates are what's in the update. I have not detected any other differences yet.

What version and security update is it?
Huge update at 1.5 GB. Switches a lot between LTE+ and LTE status. Device supports HD Voice but downgrades phone calls now from H+ to only 3G? I have noticed that shutdown time is quicker, but boot time is slower due to new enhanced start-up graphics. Battery life seems to drain quicker now. Not impressed with this new update. Plus it's only Nougat 7.0, and not 7.1. This is on the Bell Canada network.

Version 7.0, security version dated November 1, 2016. I'm not rooted and not BL unlocked.
After a day's use seems stable which is nice. To me the most obvious change is the multi window capability...Haven't tried the VR stuff. Battery performance doesn't feel like it's different than before so I don't know if the more aggressive Doze ability of Nougat is making a noticeable difference yet. Interesting coments in the previous post about the switching LTE bands and voice over 3g....I didn't even know to watch for that but if this is happening on my device, it hasn't affected me negatively. More to observe over the next few days.
My Bell Moto Z
Bell pushed 7.0 to me but the security patch level is showing January 1, 2017
I noticed that the battery drains quicker on 7.0 but I only had it on MM for 3 days before I accepted the OTA update.
Hi does anyone know of a working gcam mod the more features the better, but I think night mode is the main feature I'm looking for.
I'm not aware of one that does more than the stock camera app in terms of image quality. I've tried a few Google Camera versions and they all have the same problems in low light.

Yes, I have. It wasn't one of the recent versions (6.0+), though. I think it was ~5.0 at the latest.

So I tried this one:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950.apk
Seems to load, doesn't crash on the F1 with exceptions to video, portrait mode and the special ones like night sight... My problem is I haven't taken the plunge to see if I can enable camera2 API on my phone, I think this is part of the stumbling block as logcat while using this app says it doesn't have permissions to do certain things while using the camera (all app permissions are allowed, something else on the back end)
If you or anyone else has gotten root on the phone and want to enable camera2 API on this through build prop, you can test and see.
I like the app, it's fast as a camera and "lens blur" works but it's not using the second cam for bokeh effects. The portrait shots are supposed to detect the subject and blur everything else (Google magic) and night sight, well, just works wonders on Qualcomm devices. Just wished someone did the same treatment for the p60 mediatek chips.
I think it's pretty important to get the latest version of GCAM running on this device. I hope there's a way. The f1 play uses a 48mp Samsung chip and the S3 pro uses a Sony Chip (supposedly better). I almost got the S3 pro but couldn't justify the extra $100 to the cost.
They have GCAM running on the Moto g7 power and Xaoimi Redmi... and it has improved the camera on those phones immensely.
Info about how to enable camera2 API

Also, here's a phone that uses the hello p70 without camera2 API enabled and this person posted working GCAM versions (most likely limited functionality). I haven't tried them because my phone is still in the mail...

I, personally, don't use GCam myself but, you may be able to locate what you are looking for on the following area of the forum that's specific to the GCam Mod's.

Interesting. I always used OC in phones in the past but haven't tried it recently. I did have some nice detail customizations and I believe it had it's own EIS electronic image stability that can be applied over top of what comes stock (unless stock only operates through the camera app and not on by default).

The camera app in the recent system update offers an amazing night mode.
I've went through about 100 trial and errors seeing which ports worked. This one is currently the BEST one for the non-PLAY Umidigi F1. I picked this phone up for $40 as a backup phone and I've been playing with it. What a difference GCAM makes on this phone. No Night Sight though.

It was a great camera, but the latest update broke the camera, and only video works.
Is there another one that works?

I would try uninstalling GCam. Reinstall GCam but before opening it, go in GCam app and clear cache. I have no problems.

I'm having the same issue with this G Cam APK, and the latest firmware update. The strange thing is that the rear camera works for the Panorama, Photo Sphere and Lens Blur options but not for regular rear camera pictures. There isn't even an icon on the main camera screen to select it. Weird !
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

Hi, I already update to Android 12 and there are not many visual changes because of the One UI layer, but I wanted to ask if you know anything about an update to Android 12L, I wish you could have an interface like the stock one. Greetings to all from Latam
OMG, there are few thing i hate android 12, one ui 4
first no way to turn off RAM plus, this device only 32GB, now force use RAM plus
second half of app when tap back, it act like we press home key, keep running at background, so some app will not refresh when open back
third, samsung keyboard no more do spell check, that option is missing
and what the point show date on top of screen? i know can turn off
How is the overall update experience with A12 ?
I'm still on A11 don't know why but A12 on this chipset is something I'm just waiting for something to flag this overall update as unstable

I downloaded it in the USA this monday. Apps and web pages seem to load a bit more smoothly and quickly, in my experience. I haven't noticed any other differences, but I haven't hunted for them, and I'm using Nova Launcher, which may be hiding any potential cosmetic changes.
I stumbled on this article:
LG surprises with Android 12 update containing June 2022 security patch for LG Wing
LG has begun upgrading the Wing to Android 12, seven months on from the device's last OS update. Android 12 brings several changes to the device and contains the latest set of Android security patches. Rolling out in South Korea first, Android 12 is over a 1.5 GB download and is the LG Wing's...
www.notebookcheck.net
So apparently some Wings are already on Android 12!
I just bought an unlocked carrier free LG Wing (LM-F100EMW) in Germany and it says it is up to date with Android 10 with a 1 July 2021 Security Patch Level?
Why is there such a discrepancy in release dates?
Strange. I wouldn't sweat it. 10 is better version anyway. Another from 9 or higher is secure enough unless you do something stupid.
Well, I did some digging and found this thread:
LGUp 1.16.3 Patched Found and Works with LG Wing
Honestly found it on XDA of all places after looking for it all night What does 1.16 give us that 1.14 doesn't? Everything honestly. Could not get my Wing recognized to flash with 1.14. No 1.15 Patched exists either We can downgrade with...

And the firmware here:

And I managed to flash Android 11.
Can you flash back to 10? I am in the US and no update to 12 yet
Just received Android 12. So far seems to be working well. Have some nice added features, mainly seems to be more polished than 11. Another cool feature is that it shows you with a Green Dot indicator by the battery when you're camera and/or microphone is on.

Seems pretty snappy. Window, transitions, notification pull Downs, notification previews are all prettier. I would say I'm pleased with Android 12. Battery life seems to be as good or better also!
So I ordered a F100N to use in Scandinavia. And I heard they've come further than the US versions. Just wanted to know if it could be upgraded to Android 12? Or even 13?
LG Wing Android 12 updates has bugs. I am not able to open Wi-Fi settings and other sensors stopped working. After a hard reset it worked for 3 weeks but again same problem. Even after installing new patch with 5G support my Wing in unable to connect to Wi-Fi.

They should really change a lot.
Using gcam you realize that this phone has a very good hardware base, and stock camera processing is quite bad, despite having access to the full hardware.

They already changing a lot. Do not forget how feature packed s23 ultra is. It's not just camera. Have some patience. It's already decent but it will improve more for sure. It's the same with all new flagships.
Already a thread on this.
