The one thing holding me back from flashing cm10 is the fact that I lose the TW camera. The HDR function in it works _so_ well.
I've tried a few free versions of various HDR apps and they all suck compared to the TW one.
Does anyone have experience with any of the ones on the market and can maybe share their settings?
HDR/MDR
I don't consider any mobile camera good. Any cheapest point-n-shoot will punch it in face. If u got SGS3 for camera - u r wrong.
I heard Photoshop can do HDR - so look into that. Also PlayMarket is a good source of information.
I disagree. The camera on this phone is more than adequate, and HDR is impressive

meh, camera is great for my neeeds.
as for ps doing hdr, you need an hdr image first for ps to be able to manipulate the exposure and b/w settings.
what is PlayMarket? Something that reviews playstore apps?

Do you have anything to back that up, or is it just your POV?
Check out vignette. I'm pretty sure it has an HDR function in it.

Any recent cheap point in shoot will do better in terms of IQ.
Having said that even cell phone cameras vary in quality and if you use them then you'd be silly not to take that into account if it is important to you, even if you've got another camera that is better.... nothing wrong with buying the S3 for the camera. Not sure how that would be "wrong".
the camera was like 70% of my interest in getting the S3. I have a nikon d7000 DSLR and know that the cell camera will never be able to get close to that beast but sometimes I don't want to lug around my dslr and having a cell that can take great pictures is a huge plus especially if you don't want to carry a point and shoot and a cell phone at the same time.

I had previously used PRO HDR on the OG EVO, and it worked great. The EVO 3D didn't support HDR apps at all. The GS3 has a great built-in HDR option, and tried PRO HDR again - the native one is better!
So for now I'm sticking with the stock camera (I'm rooted, but running stock until CM10 has a semi-stable build..).

Get Camera360! I love this camera, its free and so many effects and you can actually choose between a couple different HDR modes.
Hi guys
i made yesterday low light test with our device and the Note 9.
For our device i used latest bsg gcam v1b, stock cam and for Note 9 stock cam.
On Flickr you have photos and on YouTube you have video.
What do you think about?
Is Note 9 better or Mi8? Stock? Google camera?

Well we can only say what we like, not what's better 'cause we don't know how the reality was.
You can say wich device took the picture closest real, also you didn't put mi8 or note9 on all pictures.
(Sorry for my english)
Great work! Thanks for the comparisons

Well... Of course but i thought that Note 9 would be miles better which isn't situation.
Difference in price is almost double, but performance isn't double better.
MI8 looks better in every comparison that has the watermark
I don't know which is which without to say which one is better
Thanks for comparison mate, are you using stock settings on Google Camera?

Min and max frames for hdr is 5 for min and max is 15.
Saturation is for both cameras (front and back) 1.3 for highlights and shadows are 1.5. All other is default. Jpeg quality is 95%.
It would be interesting to see the results.
I was impressed with Pixel camera app on my old phone, it was way better than stock app, and my old phone had a really bad camera hardware. Yet the pictures it gave were surprisingly good.
In combination with P30P's hardware, it would probably blow everything else out of the water...

Is that possible? I know the GCam app saved my Galaxy S10+. It's the only reason I still have it. I didn't think you could do it on Huawei phones?

The app would have to be changed to work on Huawei phones and therefore it´s Kirin processor. So far i do not know any version of the google camera mod for the Kirin 980 wich are really working good
There were working ports on kirin 970(same architecture), but only on android 8 - so the chipset itself is not a problem. They blocked the support since emui 9.
Gcam 5.1.018.17762477 port works on my P30PRO but has worse results than Huawei app - link https://customtech.es/tutorial-gcam-compatible-sin-necesidad-de-root-para-los-kirin-980-de-los-huawei-mate-20-series
in addition, the portrait mode and night sight are missing...

Interesting! I would assume the results are worse because it has not been developed with tweaks specific to the P30 series. The fact that it works means that there could be some action in this area! Thank you.

HDR+ not working
So no image processing
Useless app with kirin anyway
Would love to see some devs start working on this. So much potential

This version made by BSG V2e: MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.apk worked for me (kind of, crashes quite often on settings change, but still).
The only worthy addition to Stock camera is the "Photosphere" panoramas, other than that the Huawei stock app provides far better results due to the fact that GCam has absolutely no support for Kirin CPU I assume
Try and experiment carefully with the settings within the app. :fingers-crossed:
Or you can try any other mod from dev-suggested page.

Honestly P30 Pro seems like an awesome device so far,
and not sure there is a need for GCam (the mentioned port really does the job with panoramas in Photosphere) as the Stock camera app is quite good

The last post I found about this was from september, so can anyone tell me what's the best gcam mod so far?
in both terms of image quality and adaptation (being able to use frontal camera would be a pleasure)
I am using this:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/PMGC_7.0.009_Astrophotography_Version_V7.apk
I´ve tested 4 or 5 gcam mods so far, but really, the differences are very small. Most of them denoise the pictures too much, I prefer the more grainy pictures from the stock cam, they are showing more details in most of the pictures I´ve taken, in daylight and in low light situations.

It's kinda sad to hear that. Do you remember any mod with not much denoise effect?
I think it is a good thing. So I don´t have to switch between two Cam Apps. Its all personal preference. If one likes the smooth, degrained and denoised pictures because they´re "looking better" on a small display, go ahead.
If it comes to details, white balance and which one is closer to what I see with my eyes, stock cam wins 9 out of 10 times - in MY eyes.
+1, tried a bunch of gcam mods and in the end dumped them all. I was not happy with post-processing and heavy details reduction. Probably ok for Instagram.
My only complaint about the stock cam is inconvenient UI especially in Pro mode.

Hi everyone!
I just got my A3. Any progress on GCam vs Stock? There are SO many GCams..
Thanks!
I tried all that worked with the Mi A3 (upto v 7.3) but still preferred the stock cam. Yes, the UI for Pro sucks.
Gcam files are larger than stock and stock cam colours are realistic compared to gcam.
Hi, I notice that whenever I use my front camera, especially on messager. the quality is so low or blurry. Is anyone experiencing this?
Me too its even worse than my old oneplus 6 , I'm very disappointed
Same, I don't know why the GT 2 Pro has a really bad front cam. My old Xiaomi Mi 9T can do better do. The front cam of the GT 2 Pro has a very smudgy look which I don't know if it's because of the software or something else.
I recently got the phone and notice this too when taking pictures of items with lettering. It is not as sharp. My old Huawei P10 was better.
Is there anything to do about this? Would installing GCam improve this?

Yes, it will improve, but not significantly. It makes sense especially for the main camera.
all software related, the front sensor is actually amazing. I get amazing results using third party apps.

Free you can use open camera, it supports 4k on front camera and has camera2api support, and some gamma curves that helps a lot. But if you want amazing quality you can get mcpro24fps that supports 4k, 10bit color depth, HDR HGL profile recording, lots of gamma curves and gamuts, you can get front camera footage out of it that will make anyone think you using a professional camera if you know how to use them properly. Other option is motioncam pro that records full RAW DNG frames witch is crazy hi quality but very hard to use and extremely heavy to deal with. So my recommendation is mcpro24fps, and for photos gcam off course. If you don't use gcam in any android device you just crazy.
This video is from the front camera with mcpro24fps:
I can take a shot on full blow clear sky and sun tomorrow if you want to see the great dinamic range you can get
Wow, that is from the selfie lens? Amazing!!
mcpro24fps is in the google play store correct?
Is 8.4 the latest GCam? If so where is the best place to download the apk?

Yep, thats selfie camera, as I said.....amazing sensor but terrible Realme software.

For gcam go on the telegram realme gt2 pro gcam group you can find everything there.
Attaching here an example of the front camera dinamic range with proper software, not the stock camera blow out **** they provide.

I modified the AGC cam. The original source is: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-BigKaka/f/dl9/
Modification:
- Changed package name so Realme GT2 Pro exposes all lenses
- Added settings option which pops up if you long click on app icon on your launcher
If the app is crashing enter the settings via long click on app icon and change the Device Interface for all lenses. E.g. to "Pixel 2 XL (Taimen)".

Yeah, try doing the same in the stock camera , you gonna look like a nuclear bomb exploded, I really never even bother opening the stock camera app, it makes me mad to see a good sensor wasted with this Realme software. Just the fact that front camera is capped at 1080 for no reason drives me crazy already.
I think the app is worth every penny. The developers are also amazing, just a while ago there was no support for 10bit HDR on the app for the gt2 pro, I asked about it on the official app telegram group and in one week they added support
