Dear V20 fans,
Lets use this thread to find the best GCam (v6, v7) mod
I run all tests on LineageOS 16.0 / 17.1
=== FAQ ===
Q: What is the best GCam mod for LG 20?
A: trCamera_V7.1.apk
Q: Are configurations for the camera of G5 G6 G7Fit V34 Q8 Q9 also good for V20?
A: Yes, there is a common config for all of these models on this page available:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/configs-arnova-01/
Q: Is GCam v7 better?
A:
In princial yes, as Google includes new features in every new version of Gcam.
For Android 10 / LOS 17.1, for sure, as GCam v7 has been developed for Android 10; it works on Android 9 as well, though.
The downturn is that v7 has less advanced settings available to play around with.
Q: Why use at the minimum GCam v6?
A: Versions below this do not support Night Sight, an amazing feature.
Q: I cannot save pictures / videos on Android 10
A: Perform this commands. Note: It does not work if you have the problem on Android 9
adb shell sm set-isolated-storage on
adb shell cmd appops set com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng android:legacy_storage allow

Curious about the improvments using Gammakernel over stock LOS 17.1 kernel ... was there something specific you were trying to overcome? Is it just more stable or less battery usage or faster or ..?

I notice better battery, however I don't know what was the ultimate cause that gcam runs now. I just wrote down all the steps I did, would be curious if someone else had crashes with gcam.. And what did they do about it...
Hey @pm23 found another cool camera for you to test. It was posted today on Reddit.
It seems to be as snappy as tr camera
Has anyone here tried this UltraCVM mod which seems rather liked on this reddit LGV20 post - https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/gjmdoy/better_than_gcam_ultracvm_mod/
Quote
It is better than GCAM and better in every sense. It is better in performance on slower SD chips and it takes quite lesser time for processing than GCAM. It is based on the latest GCAM so having an android pie is a must (mentioned in the post) and luckily I am on android pie (F800K). Shutter speed is quick, there is no green/magenta tint issue on front cam and it takes pictures really faster than GCAM.

It kept crashin for me. Not sure if someone has the right config to bring it to work on the v20?
Anyone know of one or has a link that has "Super Res" and "Astro in Night Sight" that works without crashing?

GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V2.5.
The rare camera is a good shooter.
Do any of these have a full manual mode? (in case they all do what am I missing?) Google's night mode is great but I'd rather shoot at low ISO and long exposure if I have a something to rest the phone against.

First of all, I didn't make this port just found it here, so I just wanted to share it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73295122&postcount=10
Things are I confirm that are working:
-Shot on OnePlus watermark
-OIS in 720p, 1080p (not with EIS tough)
-Manual mode with the histogram (Max ISO 800 only)
-4k recording in front facing camera (MX Player, and gallery shows it's 4k, but I can't test it if looks any better than 1080p)
-Panorama, Timelapse(?)
Things that are not working:
-HQ looks the same as normal mode (Still max ISO is 800)
-No 1080p60 option
-No HDR option
-Slow motion records only in 30fps
Install it as a normal apk. Tested on Oxygen OS Ob11

Because it has a feature that I and some people really needed: OIS for 1080p,720p, not only for 4k and 1080p60, and it won't replace your stock camera app, so you can use the stock camera app if you want something else.

When installing this "port", it basically kills postprocessing on the stock camera app until you deinstall it and reboot your device.
See for yourself. Not only does it not improve the camera quality, it also deteriorates the stock camera quality.

Will Nokia 7 plus get google camera port for hdr+and ZSL without root
Have you tried installing the latest gcam apk port?
No if gcam works well I'll consider buying the phone it is not yet released in India
Google Camera port working fine, download it from the link

Can confirm that the Arnova8G2 based mods are working on my new Nokia 7 plus.
Yesterday a new version (GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod) was released, with some UI and speed improvements (at higher HDR+ parameter) I noted.
XDA link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76235335&postcount=3541
The Nokia camera app doesn't come even close to the results of the gcam mods.
I noticed often a very high exposure in daylight and much more noisier in low light (agressive ISO ramp up) settings.

Like the Nokia Camera I can only choose between different resolutions of 4K, 1080p, 720p but not the framerate.
I didn't find any setting in the dev options either. Maybe there is a tweak within the gcam mod I'm not aware of, to change the framerate (chipset should support this) but the testvideo I recorded is at 30FPS.

@RolloBollo, Would you mind if you could make some shots at night or in evening, so that we can clearly see the differences between the GCam and Nokia Camera Pro at low light condition?
Is there any reason to believe that the Pixel camera app apk would also bring 4k video stabilization to the table on the Nokia 7 plus in a usefull way? This phones seems to tick every box except that one...
I`ve seen a video of stabilization via the pixel app done on the Xiaomi A1, but the results were merely meh. The nokia however has a more capable snapdragon 660.

Can do, first set is 30min before, 2nd set 25 min after and 3rd set 40min after sunset with slight light from apartment above.
All shots were made free hand in auto mode with HDR forced.
The nokia cam tends to be more inconsistent over follow up shots, the best out of 3 shots were choosen.
Lighting to the real thing is always closest on gcam, but both are overexposing in low light settings, bringing in more light than in reality was.
Can we directly install gcam APK in Nokia 7 plus or we have to enable camera2api to get access of it if so how to enable camera2api

I did just install the linked Pixel3Mod, no further modification needed, I think the Camera2api is already enabled by default.

Maybe try it again on a desktop PC, sounds like the transfer was corrupted. You have obviously allow installation of APKs from other sources first.

There is a difference, but it is just an EIS, so I saw some jerking at times.
With the google camera, is it still possible to use the tele lens? Or do you have access to the default lens only?

I don't if know it is possible to use the tele in a special mod for the Nokia later on.

From the set of photos you have taken, It seems for me that there are still have noisees and losing details once you have zoom into the photo. However, it seems to be better than Nokia 8.

I got the same error using the link directly from Google Drive. I downloaded the apk via browser and I installed it just fine.
The Pixel2mod and the Pixel3mod version gave me strange color artefacts in every picture(but not in de live viewfinder). The previous version, named GCam, works however just fine.
I'm looking for the best quality camera, with details even when zooming taken photo.
The sensor is like Pixel 3 and that should not be a problem.
Thanks in advance.
MGC_6.1.021_XCAMBase_F1_v5a version gives me the best results. It produces clear photos, also in dark spots on a photo. Especially with the Hdr+ base config on: BSG config PixelplusNS HDR+ and rear cam on Pixel 1

Could you tell me what is difference between "BSG config PixelplusNS HDR+" and "Pixel2018 ZsIR Hdr+" ?

This is the latest gcam by BSG: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.2.030_RazerPhone2_V2.apk
Note that this is the base version of Gcam. Other developers like San1ty work on top of the BSG gcam. But I prefer the original one.
For settings, I turned OFF "save location" , "camera sound" , "google lens suggestion" , "enable google photo", "grid type".
I turned ON "remove af data from the screen".
On advanced setting page,
OFF: HDR+ control, RAW+JPEG control, Store videos efficiently.
ON: Show dirty lens warning.
Default AWB: Google
Quality HDR+: High
Saturation: Medium
Final JPG quality HDR+: 100%
Apply quality HDR+ to night sight: OFF
Disable zoom in portrait mode: OFF
Force close the app once after making the changes.
As this device powered by SD 730 chipset it should support gcam port...
So share gcam mod that supports on our Device
we are waiting

I found Urnyx05's latest version runs well without issues. As well as Arnova but requires to switch the Mod in order to make the slow motion work.
But switching camera lenses is missing in both versions. Also timelapse does not run of 4k mode in Urnyx05.

I noticed a big difference between google camera and the stock camera in terms of landscape views, google camera does a lot better(especially after turning on Lib patcher settings). But for individual objects it seems the stock camera does better in terms of exposure. I think I will depend on google cam just for landscape photos and raw images.
One thing I also found today, when I record with Slow Motion in google cam.. the video will not work.
I haven't found any that adequately support the phone's cameras.
Waiting in vain for astrophotography support with more than 3sec shutter speed.
This device doesn't even have a full PRO camera mode that can adjust shutter speed.
got it on my stock build A71. Photo's are good, but can't do widescreen. Videos are ok, seams quicker on videos, less time "catching up " with what's on the screen . will test outside later, no AR as well , but stable.
we need a port that can use the fullest of the cameras, ex: 64mp, this way we can take raw pictures and have more control

I'm not sure samsung allows full access to the camera for 3rd party apps in the A71. For example I can't get 60 or more fps in any 3rd party app regardless of the resolution, including filmic pro. Only 30 and 24 fps is possible. Real shame...

Yeah I noticed that too, This phone cameras are really good, nothing to complain, just the stock camera app that It's too limited, the phone support camera2api but the stock app doesn't let us tweak our photos in a professional way, there's that "Pro" mode in the app but it's nothing near the real capabilities of Camera2Api with raw photos and so on.
I read in Arnova's article in Google Camera port that there is a module for magisk to enable all the cameras of the phone. Anyone tried it ?
Also I would confirm that there are still issues with the slow motion recorder, the video will be lagging.
I have just checked the last update of Urnyx 7.3.0.018and added the config file of Samsung A71 and it actually works very well! even switching Auxiliary Camera works. But there are two things are still missing:
1-It seems it swithces to the wide camera only (12mp) for both 0.6x and 2x, so 64mp and micro are not added.
2-Slow motion mode still lagging.
I think we should work on making a specific version or configs for A71 which enables the rest of Cameras.
[UPDATE]
Using Arnova Gcam, lastest version. I was able to switch the camera lens between 12mp (wide) and 16mp(main). The other lenses keep crashing the app.
This was done by setting ID Camera 0 and ID Camera 2 in the Mod settings. Maybe by the magisc module it may work, yet my phone is not rooted.

Yeah I noticed that too, This phone cameras are really good, nothing to complain, just the stock camera app that It's too limited, the phone support camera2api but the stock app doesn't let us tweak our photos in a professional way, there's that "Pro" mode in the app but it's nothing near the real capabilities of Camera2Api with raw photos and so on.

We have a new system update that enables some of the pro mode functions. However, when changing the shutter speed the stock camera always fails...
And some changes when doing an astrophotography shot with the gcam before the update there is less than 3 sec shutter speed. Now i can get 14 sec. But the photo still dark and awful.

What do you consider slow motion, 60 fps or higher?

Well still, two lenses available is good enough

There are two options 1/4 and 1/8.. both keep lagging after playing the recorder. in 1/4 it is less lagging though. i am not sure if 1/4 is 60 or 30 fps

By editing the options you can export a config file. For example in Arnova's version, there is a mod option which gives you extra optiions that you set and then export a config file, I don't know much but I think for our case we need deeper changes in the port. We might need to edit the port files.

Yes but that's not enough, I personally aim for 64mp camera and if we are able to take RAW images with that will be a nice thing. We have a good camera in this phone but it is diappointing Samsung did not provide Raw Images option in the new update.

For now I have no plans, it is still risky as long as there is little support for the phone in the forum. But I would love to get deeper in helping to improve a better port of GCam for the phone.
Is anyone elses viewfinder laggy? The preview image?
Best gcam I have found is: https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1i_snap.apk
All cameras are working nicely, no issues that I have found. Based on google camera 8.1
Is there a version of this camera that reduces color saturation? Some that take photos with more natural colors?

Just change saturation yourself in settings for the lenses you wish. You can tweak every setting to your liking.

I tried this one, works fine (especially the 4k60, which phone is obviously capable of), except for the Night Sight, the photos are so bad in that mode, much much worse than stock Night mode. Which is already by far the worst aspect of the camera on this model. I hope improved GCam comes out that doesn't mess the Night Sight.
Nice cam. Really like the 4k60. But the image stabilisation isn't working for me. Any specific config file I should be using?

Bsg gcam should detect the macro sensor automatically but if not find the camera id in app like Device Info HW and enable it in gcam settings.

I Can choose the 1.9 zoom camera (what you call macro?) But it can't focus.
Any solution ?

Post screenshot of the viewfinder of gcam to see the available buttons. If the 1.9 is the macro camera it will focus only on short distance up to 10cm.

4K60 is not working for me for the above mentioned build.
After 03 seconds camera stops recording by itself and the video is not saved on the gallery

Do you mean you have EIS working in other resolutions? I wish I had EIS working at all. I tried so many different gcam versions. Tried so many configs and settings too... I asked here, I also asked on the gcam Telegram group. Never even got an answer...
4k60 with EIS works perfect for me
MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1i_snap.apk
Can help buddy, 4k / 60 worked great for me until about 15 days ago, and now my black image when I enter the video will not record at all, the default camera records in 1080/60 but this one stopped whether it was due to an update by someone ?
