On my S4, the camera will make two quick beeps and a green square if it's focused or one slow beep and a red square when not in focused.
With the S5, the camera doesn't notify you whether it's in focus or not like Google and iOS camera apps.
When tapped on a item to focus, it just pops up with a transparent circle which disappears after adjusting the lens.
Sometimes, the shot looks focused on the viewfinder until later when you zoom in and discover that all the detail would be blurry which is quiet problematic in a lecture theatre scenario.
Is there anyway or setting around this?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I've installed GCam 5.1.018.177470874 recently. Front cam works perfectly at portrait mode. It gives that blur effect.
But the rear camera just zooms in takes the picture. There is no depth and blur effect. Is it normal on all GCam or should I be installing a different version? Please suggest me.

Thanks a lot.
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?

What about Exynos version?

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!
When using the camera both rear or front, on other apps like snapchat or instagram, the images appear to be zoomed in. Are there any temporary fixes to force apps to use 4:3 resolution? Images on the oneplus camera app, are perfectly normal.
I've noticed this aswell, and its driving me crazy. With snapchat for example its extremly zoomed in, takes blurry photos and gives me a delay before actually taking the photo. This needs to be fixed ASAP!
Hi all,
I don't use the camera on my phone a lot but I just discovered that the standard wide camera can't focus anymore (it's all blurry, as shown in the first attached screenshot).
If I switch to the wide angle or zoom camera (the other 2 screenshots), no problem.
If I enable super macro mode on the standard wide camera, the problem disappear.
I tried to clear cache on the camera app but it didn't change anything.
I tried another app (gcam) and the problem is the same.
I checked that there was nothing on the lenses (dust...) or captors (lasers for the auto focus).
Do you guys have any new idea to help me ?
Thanks !!
