Question Gcam Astrophotography not working - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

I'm using one UI 4 beta 4 on the Exynos s21 ultra and have the Wichaya V1.4 Ruler gcam installed. When I try using astrophotography, it gets stuck on 0:00, occasionally saying capturing more light. Is there a way to make this work?

I'm facing the same issue with the Gcam astrophotography and I hope there will be a new version that comes out with a solution.

Using the same version on 5G as well but have issues. Open GCam and viewfinder would freeze for 5 seconds before unfreeze and Night Sight just give me a black viewfinder. Did you change any settings in the setting?

Make sure you go into the HDR+ Control and change the settings to the attached.
Anyone got one for Eynos?

Just use the GCam version for S10e, S10, and S10+. I’ve even used GCam for Note 9 on my Snapdragon 5G on trip to Japan.
I don't have the phone yet and that's why I'm asking in advance. I am not too much a fan of Samsung's heavy handed noise reduction at all ISO levels, so that's why I'm looking for an alternative
Also the answer doesn't addrsss my question regarding if GCAM uses all cameras or if it crops from the normal to make a telephoto view, for instance.

Ahh, I already forgot how it was on my 5G because I returned that to Samsung. I remember later GCam releases say they get the telephoto lens working. The Note 9 version on 5G don’t have that capability I think.
Hi , is there a fully working one for the s10 5g as the ones i have tried all seem to have issues or is it because i have not done some changes ? if anyone could link me to a fully working one that would be great

Google camera on Red Magic 3?

Is it possible to got the Google camera software on the Red Magic 3 WITHOUT ROOT?
I'm seriously considering buying this phone but I want to be able to take great photos.

You never need root for Google Cam. You only need someone to make it work with the device.
So far, no luck.
But, the camera is already great. It has the same sensor as Oneplus 7 pro and that phone is one of the highest on the dxomark list:
https://www.dxomark.com/category/smartphone-reviews/
I compared the camera to Galaxy S9, and it seems to take better photos than GS9.
But yeah, Google Cam would make it even better.
Yes. U can use gcam for Nubia red magic 3. But 3 features not working
Potrait
Night sight
Slow motion

<Mod edit: Quoted post deleted>
I didn't have watsapp. Why don't you point it out from this website?

I am using the xiaomi mi9 port that is in the google camera thread in XDA. It works well.

Do you happen to have the apk exact name? Also, are you using a config file?
EDIT: I tried both apks in the MI9 thread with two suggested config files.
I only shot in a dimly lit indoors scene, and the results were horrible (both 48 and 12 mpx.) Difficulties to focus. Noise was so bad, I've never seen anything like that before.
By comparison, the stock camera was like night and day, so much better.
I am using the following apk... GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v1.8.apk
I also get better results with the stock camera, but I was assisting in the thread. Also if you look at the OnePlus 7 pro they have some exposure settings that do assist with the dark results.

No fault of your own, thanks for the extra info.
What do you mean "they have some exposure settings" though? Some kind of a config file?
Also, it seems like unless someone buys the phone and sends it to Arnova, the Google Cam may not really come to fruition for this phone.
At the same time, I'm well satisfied with the stock camera app. It just doesn't have the same processing power as the Google Cam at preserving detail.

Working non-root gcam?

Have been scrolling through different gcam versions/mods/ports, giving them a try. A huge portion of them crash on night sight mode, and I'm fairly sure all of them have really low frame rate when it comes to just image preview when moving your camera around. Wide lens and micro lens also seem to crash most versions. I haven't tried all versions, and OnFire's port seems to be working ok so far. Night sight works and is amazing, normal and portrait pictures work, and I believe HDR too. Video recording, micro lens and wide lens don't work. Anybody got a working version? Redmi 9 4/64gb
Redmi 9 hardware it's fit for Gcam requirements . So it's just a time matter [emoji846]
just wait it's a fresh device and it will launch in India on 4, August .

This is working great...the color processing is as expected from Gcam.

i made a few pictures with both apps. just my summary:
1.xiaomi has better dynamic range, or in other words, brighter shadow.
2.xiaomi's color is more accurate. gcam has a cold color tone to it.
3.gcam is somewhat shaper without the weird sharpening effect.
4.gcam removes fringing a lot better, on edge of big color shift of two objects (tree vs sky, black bottle vs white background), it has a clear boundary, xiaomi is more murky-looking.
5.overall gcam exposure is a tad lower than xiaomi's.
6.gcam only has 1x and 2x, no wide angle. for potrait, it has 1x and 1.3x, picture seems to have very bad exposure.
7.all pictures were taken indoors, so i haven't compared the outdoor pictures.
i wouldn't switch.

Always find mi cam exposure half a stop overexposure....even more so at highlighted area that hdr fail to control sometime. And their awb is always wrong under warmer lighting condition. But there are more Gcam mod to try out. But I do notice...some Gcam mod had that weird green tint to white color background.
Anyone came across a better Gcam port...do share
Tones to pick from the link below.

Description about each Google Camera Port developer and links to their download pages.

This is working but I don't see much advantage in it tbh
I agree after testing out a few mode...the color are more contrasty using Gcam. But only so marginally ....
Can anyone post comparison shots ?

1. Better HDR ? That's strange. However if it's just that the shadows are underexposed with gcam, that's somethign you can fix in the settings. Gcam is tuned for the imx363, obviously it's going to need some tweaks to work well on the gn2.
2. Make sure you have AWB on.
5. Again, exposure can be tweaked. Right now BSG has one of the most versatile, easily tweakable mods.
6. This you need to inform the devs about. Gcam is only acessing one sensor here, and digitally cropping 2x. But you can probably access both the 0.5 and 5x lenses as well. If the devs can make Sabre work on them this will lead to much better detail on both these lenses.
If you guys want test this new Greatness GCAM version:

The Officially Supported Device is divided into two categories:
Category 1: OnePlus 2020 Phones with Everything Working
Category 2: OnePlus 2019, Oneplus 2021, Oppo Find X2 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra with only one video related feature missing.

Yesterday I have found out (on my Redmi Note 11 with Superior-OS) that the pixelation / blur in photos (I thought it's caused by ****ty Camera app / driver) might be resolved by using better Gallery app:

It has fixed the quality / speed of the picture rendering -- during scolling & zooming of a picture (subway map) I have seen pixelated / blurred areas (for > 1sec) and I thought it's a camera problem. But when I used another gallery app, it was pixelated only for maybe 0.5sec and then it got perfectly sharp.
I mean it's not Windows so it doesn't show you the icon (when the app is busy and the user should wait) -- so I was not sure whether the app is busy rendering or not.
I noticed camer on the redmi is not as good as the camera on my MiA2. I am hoping gcam will fix that but I will have to use the stock camera app sometimes for pro mode.

I have noticed the "auto" picture with gcam is way better than the auto setting on the stock app. Using the pro mode on the stock app though I can get a more realistic picture by adjusting white balance etc manually but the image still isn't as crisp as gcam. Night mode on gcam is amazing too.
Can't seem to get the 50mp to work on gcam so can't compare that. I use the 50mp feature to take pictures of signs or large blocks of text, I can definitely get better clarity when zooming in but I wouldn't call it a great looking picture. Luckily that isn't why I bought the phone.
The camera doesn't knock out true 50mp photos , they pixels are arranged in groups of 4 so 4 small ones make up one bigger one hence the 12.5mp photos . 50mp photos are just enlarged 12.5 ones really . And You may notice a lot of versions of gcam are knocking out 8mp photos too , try the version I posted in the gcam thread with the XML ( it's got an agc extension for some reason ) . It produces 12.5s and it's the sharpest gcam I've seen yet , although white balance is a bit off it can easily be corrected in Snapseed
And tbh I'm starting to think this phone is a dog , phone call volume seems pretty low compared to my old x3 NFC . That with the Bluetooth audio dropouts , crappy camera .. only good thing about it is the screen lol
I am happy for now, aside from the camera it's still an upgrade from my MiA2 and it cost me less than a decent dinner in a restaurant.
