Samsung Galaxy S23 / S22 Ultra GCAM with natural processing

Thanks a lot, I will try out this tonight. :) do you use this setting for daylight as well? Or do you have another configuration for this?
I haven't tried much daylight so far...seems to work fine with same config, but I'll take some time to experiment
Can you share this info,
  1. noise model that you are using on main
  2. APK/XML
  3. Libary
  4. HDR-E vs HDR +, and how much frames are you using?
  5. Sharpness a & b, and sharpness section screenshots
  6. Denoise levels settings, and screenshots form luma, chroma, and sabre section.
I haven't changed so much.

This is the XML

Gcam and libraries are the ones that you posted in the guide, using mateo18 for these shots.

HDR+ in normal mode, 25 frames and 1/8s exposure.
For hdr + and 25 frames, that shots are very good. Thing is quite a bit apks/xmls and their slight remakes - posted lately that im completely lost what apk/xml/lib you talk about, i understand for Matteo lib but i need to see the settings of the xml, and i need them to understand if the settings are making the pictures good, or its the sensor.
I'm also lost :D.

Btw, for HDR+E you mean enhanced? Like I have the app in another language, but I can tell I'm setting the HDR option to the max possible

The app is the SGCAM 8.4.400.42 v43 AWEME, and you can see the config XML i posted
 
Tried but now the app crashes every time I try to import an xml :(
 
I tried. Even uninstalled the app and re-installed.
 
Tried again. Now it says "load custom lib error" though the arcide lib is fine and selected. Tried uninstalling, then this method. Crashes again. The error mostly appears when choosing the xml to import.

Delete old lib, clean cache and data, redownload lib, uninstall apk, install apk, and try to reload the lib.
 
This worked. As soon as I imported another config file, it crashed again...

Are you sure you are importing xml for that lib? now i need exact info, since there are like 20000 posts/quotes and i cant go trough all of them, what apk, and xml and lib exactly you are using? AND how do you try to load it?
 
I tried the package from this post. It included everything. I am importing the xml files from the menu "additional settings". This works. Then when I want to use a different configuration, I double tap beside the shutter, select the configuration and when I click on import, the app crashes.

The version is 8.4.400.42 ruler package.

Wanna try something much more simple to setup/use?
 
I want to use gcam as an easy alternative for snaps. I love the much improved coloring and processing from the libraries provided in the thread here. But I find it a bit cumbersome that not everything is working out. For instance regarding things like images turning out much to dark regardless of settings or like now the numerous app crashes. I want to have an alternative for the stock app, which allows configuration on a simpler level, so if there's a way I can try, sure.

Instal BSG 8.7

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl128/

Aweme apk, if you have previously installed other aweme based apk, you need to clean data and cache, uninstall, and install this one

Set hardware level to full

Viewfinder format YUV

RAW format RAW10

Hdr frames to 25, and hdr enhanced/night mode

Sharpness to 0.65

Enhanced hdr/ night,

Luma strength 0.35

Luma revert to 3.0

Chroma strength 0.4

Luma outlier 0.4

Session quality,

Noise reduction high quality

Edge mode high quality

Try this and report back

Open video then enter the settings
 
Okay. App not crashing. Will test this later at night. Do I have to enter these settings for each lens separately, right?
 
Okay. So I entered all the settings. Are these settings for a specific purpose? What I found out is that the selfie cam does not save the images? And also, I entered those settings for the main cam. Do I have to enter all those settings for the other cameras as well?

Use only main for now

Hello!
Basically got the BSG to work but:

3x and 10x modes and 360 pano --> Black Picture and crash.

Is that supposed to happen in this stage?

The originally discussed "SGCAM_8.4.400.42.XXX_STABLE_V43_AWEME_PACKAGE.apk" with xml & matteo lib was working on 3x and 10x only grief was 360 pano not working.

"MGC_8.6.263_A11_V14_aweme.apk" has same problem as 8.7 with 3x & 10x but 360 pano was working.

A "Fusion" that has all lenses working and 360 pano would be so nice :-)

Anyone got *that* ?

Greetings,

Nils
 
See my post from 3 days ago:

For those willing to test, I created three basic settings for GCam and S23U:

https://we.tl/t-CEhLb0uT4o

...apk, xml and lib file are all included. Don't forget to load the lib, otherwise results will be worse.

Explanations for the different xmls:

DAY

Suitable for most environments - good compromise between low noise and shutter speed.

Night mode working (up to 1/7sec shutter speed).

Bug: astro mode doesn't work.

NIGHT

For dark environments - medium noise.

Night mode working (up to 1/4sec shutter speed) and astro, too.

Bug: dynamic range sometimes bad when using night mode.

ASTRO

For very dark environments - low noise.

Night mode working (up to 1/2sec shutter speed) and astro, too.

Bug: dynamic range sometimes bad when using night mode.
