Dear friends,
November has been a very productive month for P2 owners with all sorts of Pie ROMs roaming around. But what everyone wants is a stable ROM with a working port of GCam 6.1 because it has got the magical "Night Sight" feature which actually does magic in low light.

GCam_7.0.009_A_011.apk by marlin-ku
Features:
Night Sight replaced Panorama
Swipe down to access quick settings to enable one-hand usage
Quick toggle for ISO/Exposure Time for HDR+ and Night Sight
Time Lapse up to 120x

Long press image viewer for accessing a setting of your choice

Developer settings available for further tweaking as per your phone's capability
Bugs:
Face retouching isn't working even in Night Sight unless you select "test key Pixel2017 or 2016" from "Mask". However, it will disable the Portrait mode
SlowMo not working. However, it never works for me with GCam so try it yourself.
Google Camera 7 may only work with Android 9 and above. Please, test yourself if you are on Android 8 and report in the thread.
Google Camera 7 for Android 10
PMGC_7.0.009_PopugVersion_V11_1
Front camera greenish photos under dim light can be corrected by doing few things:
1. Enable HDR+ enhanced from drop down menu
2. Go into advanced settings and set time for front camera "1/5s" in ISO/ Exposure Time HDR+ or ISO 100. 1/5 captures photos faster though.
3. Reduce HDR+ frames to 5-10. Whenever you want to capture night shots without flash then enable HDR+ enhanced.
Configuration file
Video Capture Issues:
GCam is bad at capturing videos with P2.
Hence, install Open Camera, select 30 fps from video setting of the app then select audio source as default or optimised for voice recognition.
Keep resolution at 1080p for capturing, otherwise app will force close.
Adjust exposure while capturing videos at will.
This solution would work on Android 10 as well and it will record audio too.
Don't forget to test capture video to understand how it works.
Note: Config files are given as attachments.
What works:
Portrait, Night Sight, Face Retouching, AR Stickers, Playground, Photobooth, Panorama, RAW image, Video capture, Photo sphere, Lens, Motion Capture, Super Res-Zoom (Full zoom with HDR+ enabled), SlowMo (ROM dependent), Lens Blur

As far as I know, RR is the only 8.1 ROM for P2 with almost zero or controllable bugs so an upgrade to RR should do the trick.

May be the camera is not focusing the object you are capturing. First touch the area you want to focus and then capture. Otherwise, restart the app. I tried a few flash photos and found that it did shoot few overexposed photos. I restarted the app and it was all good again.

No issues, everything working perfectly for now
I'm using V8.3 build 5.1.018.177624777 without problems. Should I remove that and then install it? Also what changes are present between the version I'm using and this? The existing version is working great, and the reviews for this current build have been mixed based on the comments here. Please guide.

v 8.3.b1 is the most stable till now, albeit without night sight.
I think 4k video recording has EIS support in the app. As the video is getting cropped in when video stabilization is enabled. Can anyone verify it

Only the Viewfinder is stabilized and not the actual video. The video recording which is saved is without EIS. as our hardware doesn't support 4K video stabilization.
I've taken Arnova's Advanced 2.2 GCAM 6.2.030 Base and modified it to work slightly better for the Galaxy Fold.
It will automatically switch to the larger view when you open, although there are still some layout issues when unfolded.
Download Link
To enable the button for switching to the wide angle camera:
Go to Settings > About > Enable Advanced Features
Settings > Enable AUX
Thanks for your efforts. Any comparison pics vs original camera app?
Tried it out for the night sight and it worked great, but a little buggy. Hope someone are able to mod Gcam to work even better with the Fold.
Please how we can follow the updates ?
Is cant use the broken mode
Please share the ui screenshot of this gcam
I'd like to see the comparison vs LG Dual screen
UI on 'menu' and 'more' option
Downloaded thank you will update as I use it
??
Awesome mod! Really underappreciated. As a former Pixel user, this is the most important feature that differentiates Pixels from other brands. Hopefully as the Fold line gains traction, more devs will consider updating this.
I've tried to install the app but after every shot the hdr+ elaboration remain in background and the fold became very very hot near the cameras.
Any solution?
Thank you.
Galaxy Fold Gcam
After installing, my app automatically force closes. I am using Z Fold 3

Love this version, but I can't seem to find how to turn on the 3x3 grid, it helps me a lot to take good pics. Also, pics sometimes have too much contrast with this config (main lens) and the pics on the wide angle lens are too noisy.

The grid cam be found if you go to settings/general settings (first option)
And unfortunately the quality of the wide angle camera isn't great to begin with and if i wanted to decrease the noise the picture will become unnatural and not that good

Oops, don't know how I missed the grid option, thanks! Damn that sucks about the wide camera, but yeah, I figured. Thanks!
why would u need DCI-P3 or AdobeRGB or anything other than sRGB?
sRGB is best option for JPEGs. If u don't believe me - ggl it. AdobeRGB, for example, will use same 256 gradations but map it to different colors. Those "colors" will be outside of normal sRGB spectrum in which most displays work. What u will get is less gradations and more banding of regular sRGB colors.
Thank you very much! I had a problem with the latest update and ended up bringing it to the Samsung repair service. My old gcam wont work the way it used to. This one takes photos a little slower than 7.3 (?) but still good quality photos. I really appreciate it!
Has anyone with an Exynos device had the chance to test if Gcam works for all lenses in the new Oneui4? Also, how does the quality of photos seem in the normal camera app?
Gcam wichaya with s21 settings works well, sometimes better then Stock camera, but missing special focus and Max zoom
