Hey I know this question kind of sounds silly but I thought the no Checkmark meant no HDR but then I saw there was another option with HDR and a lline through it.
So what is the difference between the two options in the new camera app?
There's three settings: HDR Auto (A or check), HDR (always on, forced), and HDR off (line through)

I think the check mark indicates that, if you take the photo as it appears in the preview, HDR will be applied.

Every picture I take looks great as I'm previewing it, but once I snap, the picture turns dull and darker. When I try HDR photos, the picture looks terrible-- muddy with no HDR processing it seems. All settings are set to "auto" except when I try HDR.
Under settings, the "save as" is sset to rich tone and is always greyed out-- even when I'm not in HDR mode? Not sure it is actually always saving "rich tone" or not.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Hi,
Have you taken off the plastic cover over the lens?

Haven't got mine yet so I can't try it. Sound bad ... did you remove the protection plastic from lens? LOL
When you start the camera brightness is set to 100% and goes back to normal auto in the gallery. Don't know about save as.

Thats what I thought about brightness.
But HDR doesn't seem to work. appears to take one photo instead of three and then join them.

Try installing the XCam LG v5.0.0 mod...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548974
Version 5.0.0:
Initial release of completely new app
Random HDR FC fixed from previous GPro2 binaries
NEW Lightframe/flash mode for front camera
NEW Sports mode revamped
Set at min 1/24 shutter speed
For now, if you don't open the camera in Sports mode, you will need to toggle between IA mode and back to Sports to enable this faster shutter (you can also toggle between video and back)
LG's blue-shift/blanching in photos has been corrected
Normal mode now bypasses the automatic switch to night mode in low light (and the corresponding multi-frame smoothed/nr photo).
Improved image quality across the board
Huge update to the binaries/driver resulting in increased quality for all installed camera apps.

I meant HDR video option..
Not camera shot option.
So... When I took pictures in the dark with the superior auto mode, the faces on the photos were yellow and the photos came out very dark, was really disappointed there. I tried the manual mode- there I could control the brightness so when the brightness is a little bit up (+1) the photos were much better. Also you can control the focus mode which improves the photos a little bit more (I like the multi autofocus). I played with the camera more and tried to change the color and brightness in the superior auto mode and the photos in my eyes came out perfect!!! I really liked the results.
Just click on the image, try this and tell me what you think:
Nice settings

Good to know! Thanks!
Thanks!
I would also like to add that adjusting the lighting setting in manual mode with the exposure setting will give you far better pictures than in Superior Auto in low light condition.
that works for me ,thx
where do you find the exposure setting?
Is there panorama mode for camera?
hi guys, can you post some sample with and without these settings? actually i haven't phone...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/themes/gcam-port-galaxy-s9-s9-t3763849. Instead of creating a new list of information, I'll just reference the link to my gcam port for the S9+ since the Note9 plus is pretty much the exact phone with a bigger screen.
See here for proof it works: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77463019&postcount=578.
Please read OP before asking all questions. This would not be possible if it wasn't for the great Savitar(@defcomg) and Fahmi(@fahmi182).
Did you try it? It didn't work for me, just freezes.. Also, no portrait working, that's the only feature I use in GCAM.
Please we need an exynos versiyon too
Installed on my Verizon Note 9. Works.
i got download the working version for Exynos version by using S9+ gcam~it works almost fully except front facing portrait. All HDR+ is working on rear but not front. AR Stickers is working also.
Why would you use it? Is it better?
Immediately presents "camera has stopped" and force closes on my t-mobile snapdragon note 9.
Portrait mode freezes and if any options are changed "disconnected from camera" error

Interesting... why would it wrk for some and not others
Portrait mode lags big time. Frame skip 3-5 second as soon as you move a tiny bit. Everything else seems to work. Lots of noise though. Any screenshot of the working settings so we can test and see if it's a setting conflict?

Portrait mode is broken for ALL gcam mods! Noise is really normal if in low low light.. Set auto-correct exposure to times 8 or min iso but that requires a lot patience of being still so I suggest use a tripod.
Hey all.
Downloaded this from the above mentioned link.
Was a bit wonky with some controls, but worked for the most part.
Eventually uninstalled because it's just not worth messing with yet.
Check the attached pic for gcam (bottom) and note 9 stock cam (top).
All standard auto settings, just pointed and shot.
Meh to the gcam.
I like it
Here's some more tips I found online:
BUGS:
If you use Adaptive Display screen mode, then your pictures will appear messed up in the Gcam mod's gallery. In that case view them in the stock gallery app or something like Simple Gallery.
The front portrait mode viewfinder appears to refresh at about 0.5 frames per second, but despite the visual choppiness it absolutely does produce a portrait mode result as expected.
Here are the settings I adjusted to get functioning rear and front HDR+ On (or off), HDR+ Enhanced, and face retouching, and front cam Portrait mode:
Disable camera sounds
BSG Mod > Model > Pixel II
BSG Mod > enable Pixels auto-HDR+
Settings > Advanced > enable HDR+ control
BSG Mod > Final jpg quality HDR+ set to 100%
BSG Mod > enable Portrait mode on all models
Bonus settings that I tried that don't break things:
BSG Mod > Zoom in Portrait Mode Front camera set to 1.0(without zoom)
BSG Mod > Increase the detail of the HDR+ in the front..
BSG Mod > Minimal HDR+ smoothing (causes grainy pictures in low light, haven't checked with good lighting)
Got Portrait mode to work using your settings above phillydon04, thanks. And Portrait pix are considerably better than live focus on my Note 9.
But back camera still has a major lag taking pictures (takes like 3 or 4 seconds to take a picture and have the circle indicator go all the way around. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next update
I used this on my T-MOBILE N9 and it consistently freezes on the FFC. Removed and will use the regular camera and Camera FV-5.
Now the GCam port for the N8 works flawlessly. I use it on my 8 without one problem....well, sometimes my pics are upside down, but who cares...it works!

This worked for me, it took a couple tries though. The first couple attempts to install the app produced a black screen when trying to take a picture, video worked fine however. I had to keep force closing and deleting app data until I got the camera to work. When disabling camera sounds it sometimes went back to the black screen. The BSG mods also sometimes produced the black screen. After around a dozen attempts everything works perfectly.
Great
Working great for me!
Hello, in my stock camera if i take portrait mode picture, the photo comes normal only with no blur, there's no depth effect on any person or object, tried forced stopping still..
It's not a big problem for me as I am using GCam only for portrait photos ? but the stock camera need to run properly
