Has anyone succeded to activate them?
Thank you

I have downloaded gcam version 4.4,, Hdr + works well with great picture & the large size of photos, between 8 to 9 Mb
I wish there is a programer member could make the new version of google camera that suitable for my A8 2018, because I have install the one from @MiniUser , it failed to catch portrait, my device restart by itself,,,,

I've tried the apk 4.4 in the conversation you linked and it freezes. I Can't take a photo with hdr+. You can take hdr photos with that version on your Galaxy a8 or in another phone?
Thank you

it works on my device samsung A8 2018 Indonesia, or mybe you can try another version:
B-S-G's Modded Google Camera 5.1.014 with HDR+ for Android 7.0 / ARM64 v1.5f All-in-One Full
this version also works for my device, but I love the earlier version's result on HDr+ (B-S-G's Modded Google Camera 4.4.020 with HDR+ for Android 7.0 / ARM64 v3.8c All-in-One Full Manual), the picture result is better than my samsung A8 stock camera apps, especially it can get more detail in direct sunlight or low light with larger amount of file size

after download apk file, install it as normal apk, never use the setting on the website, in the camera menu will appear HDR+, you need to do is clik the HDR+ on,,, if you go to setting, it will crash or freeze
I have use open camera to test If my device is support camera.api2, & it is supported, ,,,(find on open camera setting, camera.api2 enable)

Thank you for your partecipation!!
I've done exactly as you said and I did various test.
With that version you can take a photo with hdr+ selected but it won't be a real hdr+ photo because it doesn't process the 3 photo like in supported phones. It takes a normal photo, a good photo, but not an hdr one because in the settings menu the hdr is disabled.
I've tried really a lot of the Google camera ports and not a single one can take an hdr photo.
The ones that try to take a real hdr photo crash, the ones that have some option that disable the her processing don't (even if it's selected into the camera option).
I really hope that with the Oreo update Samsung will activate the camera 2 api to a "level 3" settings because I don't want to root or unlock the boot loader to force the api activation.
I wish there's some programmer which could make an app to click pics in portrait mode from this phone, Please this phone just lacks that one thing.
hi, i need to ask you a question, a friend have galaxy A8 but can't record 4k videos, with Open Camera (with cameraApi2? it's possible to do it?
FInally I can make portrait photos by using gcam version 8 by mini user
in setting just disable all front cam Hdr+ & portrait mode coz it isn't working on my front cam (hang & push to restart), only working for rear one
in setting also enable fix black level offset (to prevent your portrait photos become red or pink)
below are the link,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
for the sample please look at this link (portrait mode),

I can record 4k (30fps) video with cinema 4k (I downloaded it at play store)
the result you cant play by using samsung video player so you need to download MX player
cinema 4k also doesn't provide to storage your video on sd card,,,,
I ve tried open camera & enable camera 2 APi, but the video resulution is only full HD (1080p)
perhaps this app also work for your A8 2018
With the last minuser version of the port, 8.2, I can too do real hdr+ photos. It elaborates the image after I take It, file dimension is big around 7 mb and quality is good, a lot better than the default camera for the rear cam.
If you disable the front camera hdr fix it disable the hdr in the rear camera too.
I think I'll stick with this version because it's the only one that has real hdr+ working.
the latest version 8.2 of @miniuser123 works fine, but you have to deactivate the flash, otherwise the app crashes and the phone restarts. From the settings you only have to activate fix black level offset to prevent the portrait photos are with a lilac patina. The hdr setting for the front camera leaves it unchanged, otherwise it also acts on the rear camera. So much for the selfie is great for the Samsung app, considering that the Galaxy A8 has 2 front cameras.
With the 8.2 the difference between the stock camera and the gcam is enormous.
It seems as if Samsung limited the quality of the post processing so this phone, even with a good (and advertised 16mb 1.7) rear camera, couldn't even go near the s8 in photo quality. I've compared a lot of photos I took simultaneously with my a8 and the s8+ of a friend of mine.
With the stock camera the s8 wins hands down. If you compare the a8 pics taken with a working hdr+ gcam the gap is a lot smaller. They come close, but the s8 has always the lead.
Anyone has a portrait mode working on rear camera?
Thx

Hopefully some developer make mod for stock camera make it real 16mp result back overall phone is good the real disappointment for me is the rear camera specially in night or low light too blurry to shake
Did anyone managed to get raw file support working with some of these versions ?

So True! The Phone is fantastic but with stock rear camera settings could be better! Fortunately miniuser and his gcamera port fixed it.
He released an 8.3 beta version. Stable on our phone as the 8.2.
does anyone knows how to make the front cam working? pressing the shutter button didn't do a thing.
using the 8.3 beta version on my galaxy A8 2018

You need to disable the "hdr+ front camera" setting. But then you won't have hdr+ on the rear camera anymore!

Sadly, DNG (RAW) only appears to work on the main camera.
When you're in Pro mode, the wide-angle and telephoto lenses aren't available to shoot with.
It's frustrating that this is still a limitation. Perhaps Samsung are embarrassed about the RAW images from their telephoto?
Guess I'll be looking at the Mate P20 Pro which does allow DNG on all cameras :/
Maybe its working with third party apps? Are they any that allow to switch between cameras? ProShot maybe?
Are there any solutions? No way to have RAW pics with wide camera?
It works in Hedgecam 2, apparently it works in open camera too though I couldn't work out out.
HedgeCam 2 only supports raw from the main sensor, not the wide or zoom sensors.
You can use HEIC on all sensors instead of JPG for possibly a very minor increase in colour fidelity when pushed but nothing like raw.
It's a shame that Samsung doesn't open it up. I do miss that feature from the p30 pro I had before, lots of creative possibilities in Lightroom. (the s10 takes better JPGs out of camera though)

I'm currently testing a Google Camera port on the ASUS ROG Phone 3. I am using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0_Wichaya_snapcam_V2.2 by Wichaya. Here are my observations so far with respect to compatibility:
id 0 = main camera 16 mp
id 1 = front camera 24 mp
id 2 = ultra wide camera 13 mp
id 3 = macro camera 5 mp
id 4 = main camera 64 mp raw
Observations:
All 4 lenses work, including the two rear auxiliary cameras (wide-angle and macro.) You have to go to Settings > Advanced > Auxiliary camera and enable them there.
64MP unbinned images can be captured, it's ID4. Aggressive denoising seems to remove a lot of detail. Play with the Luma denoise and Chroma denoise values in Settings > Advanced > Lib patcher.
HDR+ enhanced works with 64MP capture.
Max video recording is 4K60. 8K30 not available.
Slow motion crashes, so no 4K120 available.
Current issues:
No distortion correction for the wide-angle camera
Selfies are always 24MP, no pixel binning
I will get camera samples at a later date.
Thanks to Wichaya for their assistance!
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya v2.3
Based on Urnyx05's 7.3.018 v2.1. (Thanks Urnyx05)
- Optimize apk by uncompressed apk and clean up code (Thanks Arnova8G2)
- Added set auto exposure target frame rate range for viewfinder (works on some phone)
Download : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1281/
One thing that amaze me is a lot of high resolution stuff such as 64 mp, 8k video resolution and 4k slow motion are in id 4 instead of the usual id 0
The camera2 api is similar to Zenfone 6 and Rog Phone 2 but with separate ids for high resolution
Thanks Mishaal for testing :good:
How are the photos compared to the stock camera?
I would buy Asus ROG Phone 3, but the camera does not satisfy me 100%... so I'm much interested to GCAM "mod" Asus ROG Phone 3 results!
This one was captured by gcam urnyx modded for rog2 the xml configs also from rog2 , I'm using a normal lens with hdr+
Sorry I had to make another comment since my mobile data is so slow right now, same gcam same settings but this one is a night mode one.

I think the 60fps video recording is not 60. The video recording with stock camera is much much smoother. Can anybody confirm amd is there a solution?
Hey guys. Just checking in to see how the gcam is going for this device, is it a great improvement over the stock cam?
any working gcam ports??....mine force closing whenever i launched it luckily im not a camera enthusiast but having a working gcam port is assuring though....gonna have to wait few month more i assume
Gcam works good on rog
Using Posted GCam, and its definitely better than stock, but i do get issues with focus on GCam, it hunts. I expected the cam to be better on rog3, vs rog2, buts its not. ASUS needs to invest more time on its cams. They are pretty bad.
but then again.. this is a gaming phone. and they are investing more on the gaming features

How do you take a picture of a bird moving with 2 different cameras and the bird looks in the same exact position? Unless the picture is taken out of a book or magazine
In other more info see the other bird behind has moved, :laugh:

That bird is a cormorant. It stood there with its wings like that for a while. It does it to dry its wings. Or so I've read online.
Thanks for this app. GCam works faster, when I take pictures at 64 MP with Asus cam app it is pretty slow. But GCam pictures quality is lesser than Asus app.

Gcam quality is lesser? WTF? Dont use 64 mp, thats the magic in Gcam, the pixel binning. Unfortunately the cam on the rog3 is very bad, and not much will fix it.

The cam is not that bad. I had no bad shot with this phone, it sure is less good than the note 10 + of my wife but nothing wrong with the cam while using Asus cam app. Can't say that about GCam that is even after modding it, optimized to use with Pixel phone.

Here are some more samples from stock cam and gcam. The stock cam pics are the ones on the left and top.

It seems that Adobe updated Adobe Camera Raw to support S23 Ultra, and because S23 Ultra has four different camera modules, they all require separate linear profiles, because the linear profiles are camera specific. At least I think so.
Here are the four camera specific linear profiles. They all work with my Lightroom Classic v.12.2 and Adobe Camera Raw v.15.2.
All profiles are made with Adobe DNG Profile Editor, from Samsung Expert RAW 16-bit dng files.
The naming convention corresponds to the camera focal length as it is shown under the histogram:
Galaxy S23 Ultra 2.2 Linear Profile is for the Ultra Wide Camera
Galaxy S23 Ultra 6.3 Linear Profile is for the Wide-angle Camera
Galaxy S23 Ultra 7.9 Linear Profile is for the 3x Optical Zoom Telephoto Camera 2
Galaxy S23 Ultra 27.2 Linear Profile is for the 10x Optical Zoom Telephoto Camera 1
Loving what ACR can do with S23U dng's. Blows any other phone I have owned out of the water. The performance of the 10x optical zoom is particularly astounding.
All of the below were captured with GCAM 8.5 (ACG version) with a almost completely plain vanilla .XML config file for the S23U, then loaded into ACR. I practically never do any sharpening, but have obviously manipulated light and contrast heavily for artistic effect. Things look beautiful on a 27 inch screen, surprisingly close to what I can get out of a Z6... when the light is good. Obviously when the light gets bad the Z6 wipes the floor with the S23U, but that shoukd not surprise anyone.
