Gcam Playground/AR - Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers

I have Gcam version 6.2.030.244457635 which I appears to work properly but when I load ARcore APK's (testing latest version) the Playground/AR sticker function appears on the Gcam "More" option but when I click it it just says ARcore needs to be updated (which it is). I have tested and loaded different versions of older ARcore which seems to load ok but no AR functionality-This phone is capable I would have imagined???? I searched the forums and Google but just get a handful of non-value added info on this.

You have a module on magisk to run ARCore on natively non-compaitable devices. Give that a try and see if that helps.

Which Gcam apk do you use? What is the developer's name and what is the apk name, and for which phone was it developed?
Thanks.

Arnova8G2 is the author-Gcam 6.2.030.244457635 apk from APK mirror website. (Google finds it quick) It was a shot in the dark that I tried this particular version from all the others that didn't either have complete Gcam features or just plain did not work. I am not sure which device he intended this version for, all I know is that it works on my Red Magic 3 and is better than the stock camera app in my opinion.

Does your copy have support for 12mpx for rear camera? This Sony sensor is kinda trash in dark scenes at 48mpx - it was designed with 12mpx mode in mind to combine light from 4 pixels into one for collecting 4 times more light.

Yeah 4:3 12mpx is what it was set at initially when I first opened the gcam app- works great!

Is Night Sight working as for me the shutter is greyed out.
And there is no option for 12 Megapixel.

Night sight does not capture picture it's like the appatture button does not work!

Weird, mine (and I tried several) goes 48mpx, 7.7mpx.... 12mpx is missing.

This is odd, I wish $hit would just work without jumping thru a 1000 hoops

With the attached apk..
The one on the play store is working for me

I think ArStickers is only for pixel at the moment unless someone can port it
I managed to get it running but the characters wouldn't display, apparently it's only working on Oreo.

Yes. 8.1 only. So maybe we will get it next Christmas...
With the latest ARcore for Nougat I was able to get ARstickers to somewhat work, I have to delete ARstickers Data Everytime I try to open AR Gcam but that's not that bad of a issue. Can't see the AR previews as well. I'm using unrooted completely stock Tmo Note 8 .
Last one is the actual picture
How to install and use ARcore stickers? I could not find them. Thanks.

Works for me on Galaxy Note 8 Oreo(8.0)
I first installed AR Core V2, then Google Camera and an Apk with AR Ornaments (Stikers)
When I opened Google Camera, the menu contains Last Jedi Stickers and three more sticker groups.
Bug: After Installing Google Camera, I couldn't access the share button ( <) on gallery. It force closes. Neither can i set pictures as wallpaper or Profile Pictures. So I have done a reset now everything works fine. I will try intsalling Google Camera once again later today.
Hope this helps

This is a good start! Thank you !
This is great! Is there a reason why you ported version 5 instead of the newer versions (6.x)? Merely curious.
Excellent, just did a quick test and photos seams sharper with gcam.
- Can you change default app for opening miniature?

Hi! Ma Shao
China Mainland seems to have published nw-a100 and ZX500 Series with android 9 system
Have you tried to extract the app of the player from walkman APP (W.mucis)
For use with XPERIA phones.
What's the difference between the two apks?
Settings works, great!
M-rom you make very good custom ROMs you ever going to make for Xperia 1 I use to have m-rom on my xz premium
Portrait mode doesn't blur the background or am I missing something?

Some minor diffenence in settings.
Not all settings work, have to try some times.
My observations so far are that Gcam images look more organic and with much less artifacts than the stock camera, jpg files are also bigger with more information and hold up to editing better than the ones from the stock camera. The port is definitely worth it and I hope M-rom keeps working on it.
I can't get regular photos to work with either apk. Video works, photos w/front camera work, but can't get rear camera to work. Any tips?
No idea, both versions work for photos for me (on one of them portrait mode doesn't start). I use both.
Can anyone post comparison photos between Gcam and original ?
Portrait mode doesn't work with portrait camera.

Maybe you can check if you turned the "raw+jpg" on or not. I tried this before and it won't work. Turned off then rear camera worked.

Has anyone figured out how to add more options to the main settings menu in v8.1 (or higher) at all? E.g. in the... focus, flash, google awb, timer and ratio menu. I'm trying to add an option to turn hdr on/off but cannot find a place to make this setting.

I seem to be on the same version as you Hesham-Abbas, but that option just isn't there. Maybe you have changed a setting in the 'developer settings' section?
when i use gcam i see camera lag, is there any way to fix it?
I tried the BGS version, I applied some logs as well, but there are still issues.
Anyone have a bugs free version or advice?
By bugs I mean, when going to the macro camera, app crashes and I need to uninstall and reinstall in order to work again. No way of choosing diff lenses for video, it's just dark.
Device not rooted btw.
Thank you,
The version shown in the screenshots in my last post works just fine for pretty much everything including the macro camera using chequebo1's config xml. Just disable the missing camera module option as it crashes if you try to select that one by mistake, you can remove the depth sensor camera too if not wanted, for reference they are camera modules 0.9 and 1.2 under settings>modules.

I am sticked between buying the regular note 10 and note 10s because of the chipset.
Snapdragon usually gets more custom support than MTK

This is everything related to HDR in the developer settings..
But, I think this is device/Chipset related..
I have Redmi Note 8 and my sister has Redmi Note 10. Both have Snapdragon..
I should have mentioned that earlier, SORRY..
Ok no problem, thanks anyway. Will check the settings you have posted just in case.

Question Is the Camera hardcoded to only work with Google Photos?

Hey all,
So I've decided I want to use a different gallery app instead of the Google Photos.
However, after disabling Photos and expecting to get the choice of how to open it from the camera app, it specifically tells me to install Google Photos.
Am I correct to assume it's a hardcoded link?
If so. Is anybody aware of a way around this?
Thing is, I do like the Camera, just not Google Photos..
Try
Gcam mod
It is Google Camera app modded to enable additional features
It has option to use third party gallery apps, although I haven't used that setting.
Try 8.6.xx versions
For me 8.7.xx versions dont work on P7
Yes, camera is HARD CODED to only load that crappy gallery that uploads all your data to gooble.
If you were running a google-free OS, I'd suggest using https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider/releases
Well, that's something...
How stable are those gcam mods?
I mean, I'll give it a go, but it looks like it's supporting up to android 11.
edit:
So I installed a gcam mod, but I can't seem to configure the gallery app to use with it.
Could you point me in the right direction @utk_spartan ?

Android 11 is the minimum version supported not the max.
I can't comment on stability, I don't use Camera much.
See the attached screenshots for enabling 3rd party gallery support in Settings.
Also for versions 8.6.x set interface to P6pro
Wel, it's still asking Google Photos for me, exactly what version are you on?

Strange how I have no issues disabling Google Photo, and then are able to use the camera in any 3rd party gallery-app downloaded from the store.
F-Stop and Piktures works without issues on my Panther.
"Hard coded" as you put it might mean something different for you than others I guess.

That's not what OP is talking about. When you take a picture with the camera, you see the little circular preview? If you tap that, it will load the picture in gooble photos. Not some other application, JUST that one. That connection is hardcoded. The only ways to break it is to either hack the camera application, or create a request forwarder that pretends to be gooble photos.

That was what I assumed he was talking about.
The 'circle' works fine here without Google Photo, but if one want to click the 'Google Photo'-button up top to the left, that doesn't work (since its for.. Google Photo).
Meaning preview should work regardless of device (I'm on Pixel 7, just for clarity).
GCam have however enabled this in the settings, so with GCam downloaded and installed - even the Google Photo-button can be swapped out.
It's funny, it does only work (the mod) when Google Photos is installed.
So that's sub-optimal...
But not the original one @dmbardal , I suspect you're using a mod too. If not, can you show where you set this?
