Hello there. Noob here.
Found this video on youtube with a link for a gcam port that works on exynos. I've downloaded, tested and for me, works flawlessly.
Here is the video link:
Here is the files download link:

That's the file that worked for me.

I Tried this on my S20 ultra and it seemed to be working fine.
Edit: the app just disappeared from my phone.
hey paco. i noticed that the gcam app conflicts with the samsung quick measure. when i updated the quick measure the gcam disappeared. I uninstalled Quick measure from the galaxy store and reinstalled gcam and everything is fine.
Hello sir,
I am using Samsung note 10 plus ANDROID 11 exynos
Tips above (Samsung ruler 102mb file) NO INSTALLED.
Anybody say solution??? please!!!!
When using astrophotography mode something is wrong. It´s starts the countdown and the circle around the shutter goes around until about 50secounds..at around that time the circle stops but the countdown keeps going. When it reaches 0 nothing happens and everything frooze.
Is there a way to fix this? Is it happening to anyone else?
whats benefit of Gcam over samsung camera?
Something new from Pixel 6 pro Gcam ?
Nice but not compatible with 108mpx
And zoom X100
Does this camera work for custom ROMs?
Up - I posted in the generic GCam thread (mostly about Snapdragon): there's a GCam 8.4 port that works very well on my S20 Ultra Exynos for the back camera. Front are unfortunately not available since the OneUI 2.5 update, thx to Samsung.
Copy/paste:
Even better: Hasli's LMC8.4_R15. There's no config file needed.
Install one of the Samsung version (ruler or scan3d), then instructions found on Reddit:
To get telephoto and ultra wide cameras:
Settings > Additional cameras > Toggle "Tele camera" and "Wide camera" toggles
Settings > Additional cameras > List ID manually, there:
enable BOTH toggles ("Use listed IDs" and "Use given values")
in "List ID manually", write: 0,1,2,52
in individual IDs, set: Main Camera 0 Tele Camera 3 Wide Camera 2 ID4 Camera 4 ID5 Camera 5 Front Main lens 1
To get the Pro button: Settings > Processing functions > Viewfinder settings > PRO Mode (toggle to enable)
Optical stabilisation: settings/LMC take/optical stabilisation
On my S20 Ultra Exynos, the front camera is still not working, but all back cameras are working - even video in 4k on the telephoto.

Thanks for posting this, best I have been able to find so far, but I am finding it to be pretty unreliable in actually capturing an image. Any luck on getting the front camera to work?
New version of Hasli's GCam LMC8.4_R17 (use one of the "_samsung" files).
Updated config for S20 Ultra attached.

Make sure the resampling is enabled.
"Experimental Settings:

The image is postprocessed (interpolated to 13 mpx) check the taken photo size. Yes, interpolated but is still better than 8MPX.
Camera front
when taking a photo with the front camera it looks like blurry and ugly, even with the hdr + or without the. and the portrait mode looks fuzzy and purple or green
Thanks
This one is more snappier and more optimized than the previous GCam 5.1 i used
Slow motion doesn't work but I'm fine with that
Most of the fancy stuff like manual focus, HDR+, Portrait and Lens Blur does work
Edit: the Built-in camera app does have slow motion, so there's that

You're welcome.
It seems there isn't setting to change save location of the picture(or video).
It use internal memo, kinda need to save space.
Is there any method to change the save location ?
Works great. Thanks for the recommended settings. Much appreciated.
UPDATE: I haven't really followed this thread since I don't have an S10 anymore, however, just a heads up telephoto now works with the Snapdragon S10/Note 10 series and Gcam! Gcam can be downloaded in my S20 thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam-working-with-s20-ultra-telephoto.4200277/
Now with Wide Angle and Telephoto Camera Support!
All credits go to Arnova8G2, CStark, Fizwiz, Xenius9, Urnyx05
Benefits:
Gcam offers less aggressive noise reduction and oversharpening. Under daylight things might not look too different but it's a lot better for low light, especially for finer details like carpets, hair, fabric texture. I've attached some comparison shots. The file names will indicate which camera was used for the pictures.
Regarding 6.1 vs 6.2 vs 7.0 vs 7.2:
6.1 could be more stable and allows you to save profiles that you can swap between (for instance if you have a setting for indoor and outdoor). However 6.2 is faster, possibly better processing algorithms. 7.0 is faster still and even better algorithms. 7.0+ also ads astrophotography option which is night sight but even better! 7.2 works on Android 10 only and should improve upon 7.0.

Did you guys apply the XML file after copying it to where it needs to go? Detailed instructions here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
Followed the instructions and it seems to be working fine so far on my S10, although I haven't done extensive testing.
How do you switch between apertures? It doesn't seem obvious to me.
Any reason this wouldn't also work on a Snapdragon S10+? Thinking about giving it a try now...
---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------
Installed and verified basic functionality on my S10+. Took a couple of night sight pictures and they turned out good. Will do some more testing. Thanks for the information.
Update: I'm seeing issues when switching between different modes. For example, the picture freezes whenever I go into portrait mode. Other modes work sometimes, but display a black screen other times. The app doesn't freeze or crash, and if I switch to another mode then switch back, sometimes that resolves it.

To fix portrait mode freezing, go to Settings (top section, mod settings) -> Advanced -> FIX -> Viewfinder Format. Then select YUV-420_888 (default).
Very good. The viewfinder fix seems to have worked for portrait mode, and helped with all other modes as well.
Any other settings changes you would recommend making to optimize performance?
Which photo is from the stock cam vs gcam?
I took a few pics just now outside with default camera and then with Google night sight. Google cam pics definitely a little brighter, and much clearer, with more detail than the default cam. Quite pleased.
Got it to work thank you. Had to restart my phone, now everything works.
Snapdragon?
Yes i have the s10+ with snap

Night sight is phenomenal. To the point where I use it almost exclusively even in daylight on my Pixel 3. Can;t wait for S10 with gcam port.
How is the shutter delay using the gcam port on the S10? On LGs where I have used gcam, the ZSL would not work and that was the only downside.
When i took picture with night sight.my phone restart it sekf.
I envy you guys. I have got the exynos version and stock cam quality is ****. Miss my pixel 3.

I will check the shutter delay today when I have time. I've only used it for night shots as of now since that was the primary advantage it has over the samsung cam software. I know as of right now, this version doesn't support the wide angle lens, which means it's necessary to keep both sets of software. HOwever, I read in another thread (here or on reddit) that there is now a gcam version that works with JUST the wide angle lens. So hopefully they can combine these and give us a fully working port in the near future.
thanks i will try soon.
On the snap my stock cam sucks also. This google cam and open camera destroy it
Hi to all,
I faind that moded Gcam last version 6.2 from bulkin043, web site:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bulkin043/#apk907
Is half way working. Video, timelaps , panorama is working in Mate 20 Pro. Other things just stopped work. I think that someone who know can fix this and make this application works very well.
On this web site you can faind moded Gcam for LG V40 or V30 so that means you can use all 3 camera lense. But still someone need to fix this application.
I would like if someone can contact bulkin043 for help. Or just make the petition if we need it. Or whether bit it will be fantastic of we have Gcam on this very strong camera hardware.
P. S. When you open the camera turn off "motion" and then swipe to the video or oanorama or more otions.

i have got this version works for back camera photos but you to use these settings and steps:
1. Download and install the following version (6.1.021) https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk
2. hold press on the camera app icon, from the pop up choose take a selfie ( the app may crash in the first time)
3. Allow for all permissions.
4. swipe for more, settings > advanced (the first one) > Base > Config > Pixel2017 HW Zsl Hdr Intent(need YUV) also 2018 is working
5. Go back for the in the same advanced menu and go to FIX > Viewfinder Format > YUV_420_888 (Default)
6. Optionally turn on HDR+ Control ( in settings > Advanced (the last option in the main menu)
Notes:

Thanks for sharing, but all of them are quite unstable and besides HDR (I didnt see difference from normal mode) no special mode is working. As for normal camera mode I found postprocessing (PP) from huawei camera better->more natural with all 3 cameras working with Night mode ofcourse and STABLE!!! On the other hand Gcam on samsung S7e (I sell it yesterday) produced much better PP and functionality with HDR too. But is there any need for Gcam in these days when huawei is so good? Just my thought...
edit: I tested 3rd Gcam 6.2 side by side Stock camera (pro mode) and I have to say, in good light stock camera destroyed Gcam but when it comes to lowlight, gcam won every single shootout (with NO night mode) Ive got amazing noise free shots with good detail

is there any news for gcam that work for emui 10?
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.
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V2.5
Now no longer use specific package name for aux cameras thanks to new code

- ? Aux cameras working on most phones without root apart from some exceptions. (Bug on Rog Phone 3 crash when switch lens from 64 mp mode to front camera. Change lens to main first before use front camera) Thanks a lot to Eszdman and Arnova8G2 for the code shared to me and others.
- Added OPPO and Experimental opmode (Thanks Arnova for the value)
- Adjusted some menus in the settings
- Press lib patcher icon bring to lib patcher menu, hold awb icon bring to awb menu, hold exposure button bring to exposure compensation menu (Thanks Overwhelmer)

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

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.
More samples
Here are some more samples from stock cam and gcam. The stock cam pics are the ones on the left and top.
Did someone tried any gcam version for the zenfone 9? The cameras of this phone are suck, over sharpness, selfie? On paper good selfie sensor but the results are poor
Oversharpening effect on Zenfone 9 is very strong. Every Zenfone 9 user should inform Asus that they aren't happy about it on Asus forums:
ZenFone 9
zentalk.asus.com
If nobody reports anything on their official channels then Asus will think people like it
Try out the latest BSG gcam mod:
BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Working front, rear cameras. Haven't test everything. But so far so good. Wide angle works too. No config applied
The stock camera auto HDR pictures are way to overexposed. This is just an example I took this morning. I prefer the gcam output.
I will post about this in the Asus forum once I have more time.
Cheers

You can try lastest Wichaya's 8.1 v1.6 Gcam:
Wichaya GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by Wichaya.
www.celsoazevedo.com
The GCam makes photos look way better - how ever I'm not knowledgeable enough about the configs to know how to fix. The 8.1 Wichaya version seems to work the best. Though video modes still feel sluggish in the viewfinder. A lot of delay from moving the phone.
I also can't select the main 773 sensor in the noise reduction section. It's simply not there as an option.
Oh well. It seems to work otherwise. Slow motion and 50MP RAW has been disabled for now from Wichaya.
This guy evidently got GCAM working and notes improvements over native camera app.
Has anyone how things are with android 13? The Gcam is way better, but cannot be used for all purposes, I wish Asus just fixes the heavy post-processing so I can use the native app which is great by the way.
I just joined Android 13 beta program from my Zenfone 9. No ROM yet, but will let you know when they start rolling out.
I made a config for my Wichaya 8.1 and created noise model with some other adjustment to the settings
Enabled 50MP for video and slow mo only (partially working)
Just my 2 cents for wichaya.
The photo is tricky (but ugly) and the purpose was to demonstrate that the Asus process is not on par with the Gcam for color rendering and HDR.
The reds (box, chair and dress) are much more realistic on the Gcam shot. Same for the woody wall.
And look at the sky....

Did anyone get a gcam with working portrait mode? For me it doesnt apply the blur effect. I have to manually end the blur in Google Photos after

Works for me.
I'm using Wichya's Gcam mod + zenfone8/9 config. You have to take the photo in "Portrait" mode.

I'm a little new to this. How do I apply that config?

GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.6.apk
Wichaya8.1-ZF8-V5.xml
In the app, you Setting -> Advanced -> XML config -> Import XML config (and you import it).
Before it will allow you to import, you also have to give the gcam the "All Files" permission.

Thank you! Where do you find the config files?

Oh I worked out the problem. It only applies portrait mode to photos of people, not to other objects. I remember this was the case with the original Google Pixel 1 that I had.
Is it the same for you?
It doesn't pick up my dog, which is a bummer.

Sadly, I don't have a pet to check
It works on my front and rear camera in vertical or horizontal orientation. It only works this way in "portrait" app setting (so chosen from between Night Sight/Portrait/Camera/Video/more...).
I've provided you the link to the config file too. It's an .XML file in the previous comment.

Yes I got it thank you very much. I have a Pixel 6 too, and the portrait mode on that (and camera in general) is much better so I may just stick with that for now.
@eVen123 the config you link to is the one for Zenfone 8. Am I correct there is no Zenfone 9 config yet?
Is the gimbal stabilisation then used with Gcam?
