GCam photo file size - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

GCam photo file size - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, first post!
I bought my rn7 global version a few weeks ago and been trying differents GCam mods.
So far Im using the latest back rider version, pretty stable and good photo quality I think a bit better than BSG version.
But before my rn7 I had an LG v20 with Cstark mod and the image quality was amazing! Nothing like the rn7, so I check the file size and are pretty different. In the xiaomi I been getting somewhere around 7 mb per photo and in the v20 around 14-16 mb.
I'm not sure if that difference is only for the mpx of each camera (v20 mod support 16mpx) or because something else
By the way I tried a mod version based on arnova, and it had way better image quality, but it was pretty unstable so I erased, and don't remember where I downloaded
Cheers!

OnePlus 3T vs LeEco Le Pro 3 Camera comparison - Why there is huge difference?

Hi guys. I ordered yesterday X720 variant (4GB/32GB gold) from banggod under flash sale (cost me 192 USD) and I cannot wait it to be delivered to me..
So after that, I started some re-search, especially regarding the camera performance and I found out that Le Pro3 actually has ALMOST the same camera sensor like OnePlus 3T, apart from OIS?
OnePlus 3T has a 16MP Type 1/2.8" Sony IMX298 sensor with f/2.0 aperture lens which is the same (correct me if I am wrong) in Le Pro 3. But OnePlus 3T takes really good and better photos in any environment(good light or low light) if to be compared to LePro 3...
So, can we say that OIS and maybe better rom/software in OP3T makes the difference or what? Or LePro 3 has a potential to takes better photos with some custom ported roms or ported camera apps and come closer to quality of OP3T?
I am sorry, if this or a similar thing had already been talked before here. It will be great to hear your comments and opinions.
Have a nice day/week for all!

If you are running it on Stock ROM, try Google Camera 2.7.10 via https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-7-010-release/
Le Pro 3 has even better IQ than iPhone 7 just so you know. =D
If custom ROM and especially nougat-based, there is a patched version of latest Google Camera with HDR+ enabled.

When it comes to mobile cameras, it's almost always the imaging processing that makes or breaks a photo quality.
OP3/T does share same hardware specs of the camera lens and sensors with the exception of OIS, but it is the software itself that determines how an image is to be processed.
Samsung, LG, HTC, Apple basically spends a lot of their R&D budget on the imaging software, because camera qualities are synonymous with quality of the phone.
OnePlus did spend fairly large amount of development into their camera software, and it is very good. OiS helps, of course, but image quality itself is determined via software.
When you're using Google Camera, the game changes, however. Since Google Camera does not use OiS even if you have it, it won't be an advantage with OP3/T. Theoretically, the image when using two identical camera app would be very very similar.

I just didnt want to open a new thread for this question.
Does stock rom (EUI 5.9 , Marshmallow) supports cam2api? So we can use footej camera, open camera etc?

Planning to switch from N5X to Mi A1, good choice?

I'm planning to buy Mi A1 in February. Since A1 is Snapdragon powered device in theory it's capable of SD goodies. It has slightly higher octa-core CPU(5X has hexa-core) and GPU clock speed, expandable storage and also have 4 GB of RAM unlike 5X that has 2 GB. I think it will be highly noticable in multitasking. Is there a huge deference (if any) between disabled and forced enabled Camera2API in photos? I'm worried because of it. Enabling Camera2API allows us to use Google camera from what I've heard.
Can someone post photos in different environments to let me compare them with my 5X, that would be grateful.
Hope Xiaomi release source code for this device before February, custom ROMs are "kill features for me".
If it's a bad choice tell me why.

not a major upgrade since 5x still has a support by google, camera is better, community is better since it's google,
Mi A1 released months ago but there is no source, You can't tell if this phone is interested from developers. The safe bet is to wait for a couple more weeks, maybe a month but this is just my opinion. You still can't go wrong to buy this phone. On 11.11 aliexpress will sell this phone for $184 + free shipping. this is insane price.

There's no noticeable difference in 6 or 8 cores, but difference between 2 and 4 GB of RAM is pretty huge.
I made 2 photos, one with stock Camera app(using HDR) and Google Camera app(using HDR+), I tried to make 2 exact same photos. First one is using Google Camera, second one is using stock Camera app: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VVaKFtKlq2ZNOtbz2
Also, kernel sources will be definitely released to public, question is when.

Compare with N5x, camera mia1 damn suck :v

Thanks but can you take photos other than your leg lol. Does ZSL work? As in HDR+ works without loading spinner. I would super appreciate it if you can show us some night shots with HDR+

I've just migrated from N5X to A1 and so far I'm impressed. I was afraid of slightly bigger screen, but got used to it after few hours and now 5.2" feels "small" For me the main differences:
1. 4GB RAM, multitasking is working as expected, no more unfinished HDR photos, no more launcher crashes, ..
2. CPU is much more responsive, doesn't overheat and throttle. I wasn't able to keep up big cores of N5X on long enough, they were shut down very often to keep the temeperature down.
3. A1 is faster overal, app installations took half the time of N5X
4. Stock A1 photos in low light are not very impressive. However simple mod brings gcam (so far I like the simplest version the most) with its HDR+ which does pretty much the same job as on N5X with faster processing.
5. I am not interested in custom ROMs, but A1 is limited at this for the time being
6. A1 has shameful headphones hissing noise, especially with sensitive low impedance headphones. To be fair, N5X has similar issue, however solved easily with custom kernel and lowering the headphone gain. Once Xiaomi releases kernel sources, I expect this issue to be solved in the same way too.
7. Build quality is better on A1, however it is bigger and heavier phone. Better feeling, but a bit less pocket friendly..
8. ZSL HDR works, but with same mixed results as on N5X - bunch of my test photos were blurred. Never had this issue with forced HDR mode, so I'm using it exclusively. Spinner doesn't bother me, at least I know I should keep phone steady
9. A/B partitioning is super nice for seamless updates, but I experienced some issues with Magisk. After failed installation of some modules, Magisk image probably got corrupted and I had to remove it completely and install it again without such modules. Took a bit of trial and error, but I have fully systemless rooted and modded (build.prop tweaks) phone now.
10. Oreo vs Nougat - I miss only really fast boot times and easy use of substratum. Otherwise no big loss in my eyes.
11. attached crops of test comparison photos (Stock HDR enhanced N5X vs. Gcam HDR enhanced A1). Please note that I was able to achieve sharper results with A1, but this is the only photo which I have taken with N5X as well. And there are no legs

I was in the work, so that was the most I could do at that moment xD But you can see pretty big difference between them.
I will make 2 more photos when it's evening here and will post it.

I switched to A1 from op3. Obviously it was a forced switch as there was multiple failure in op3.
Both the phones have their own upper hands and the most I miss from op3 is the super amoled screen. Low light camera in op3 was better but then A1 has portrait mode. Looks wise A1 is not less than op3. As of now, the phone doesn't feel slower to me in daily use as compared to op3.

This makes me feel good about buying A1
Can't wait to get Gcam, waiting for Oreo first before rooting.
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

I switched, and the phone is better daily driver. No lags or overheating, no more app closing because of memory running out. Does not have nfc but used only once on my Nexus. Mi remote is a cool feature though. Portrait shots are really good in daylight, and modded Google camera works great. What I don't like is that the phone should have launched with Oreo out of the box, or it should have got Oreo by now. There are no cool features like night light and life to check gestures, no double tap to check notification (this feature is present in redmi note 4, which has similar hardware). Android one seems more like a marketing strategy now.

Coming from a Nexus 5X, Mi A1 really is an upgrade. It's like having a more premium phone than Pixel devices since the device feels like an iPhone but with stock android. 4GB ram and SD625-14nm.

Hi Bro.
I have tested some of GCam Mod from @Arnova8G2 and @bsg . My device is Nokia 6.1 Plus TA-1116 running Pie
GCam ver 6 has nightsight fitur, GCam ver 5 has no nightsight fitur. For Nokia 6.1Plus who want use night sight fitur can use latest apk from arnova/bsg, however with some bugs because they are still develop using they own device and there is not yet stable version for GCam ver6.
BSG apk ver 6 with night sight:
- almost all works. Some of problem that I found is:
- viewfinder slow (although you disable dirty lens, it's still the same)
- photo result a bit bluish (over blue tint, i dont know it's because the apps, the lens, or the lcd screen)
- photo result a bit more vivid, not natural
- a bit darker result than ver5
- HDR+ Enhanced result not crispy detail like ver5 (i use ver5 in MiA1 running oreo and it's very good result, maybe because BSG use Mi8). In Nokia 6.1 Plus with Pie, HDR+ Enhanced from ver6 apk has soft result, like you use beauty fitur. Then I tested ver5 GCam in nokia 6.1 plus, result is the same, a bit soften. Don't know because the apps or because the lens, as i know Nokia 6.1 plus use samsung lens, not sony lens.
- Night Sight works but with to much noise
- Slow Mo crash
- Portrait mode works with soften result
In BSG there is setting to change front and back camera type like Nexus 6P, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 Xl, I have try all setting but still the same result a bit soften.
Arnova8G2 apk ver 6 with night sight:
- All image result almost the same with BSG, Arnova has more natural color result. But still in the same soften image even though you use HDR+ Enhanced
- Night sight better, but still in slow viewfinder, maybe because Nokia 6.1 Plus device cpu that use snapdragon 636
- Slow Mo crash
- Portrait mode result has the same with BSG
Ver 5 Gcam Arnova and BSG all works fine, but HDR+ Enhanced not a crispy like I use in MiA1
Overall, many thanks for all developer like @Arnova8G2 and @bsg who works for this GCam Mod. I'm not developer, but try to support with testing in my device. And all of you can help them with test in your device and give feedback result to them. Thankyou.

Toylan has release new GCam Mod's update. Not sure it's work or not. Check in Chelso Azevedo web, and report in here.

Zentom said:
Unrelated but can you specifiy which build you are using for the Mi A1? I own one and I'm still using Arnova's v1 because I think it takes the most crispiest images I've tested yet, and all other builds don't have a longer exposure time resulting in worse HDR too.

Right now I'm using Arnova's V8.3b1 in Mi A1. This is Gcam mod from base 5.1 ver. Yes you right bro, this version the most crispiest and the best. Like Arnova's says, Hdr doesn't work since Gcam based ver 5.3.
I try to install V8.3b1 in Nokia 6.1 plus, the result is very different than MiA1. HDR still more crispy in MiA1 with the same setting (with "Nexus 6P setting is on). In Nokia 6.1 Plus looks like a bit soften/blurry.

I'm using this build now, will review it later. First Impression is pretty good. The only downside is laggy viewfinder. Will make a new main thread about Google Cam port later.

Of course, go for 6 GB it has 16+5 MP setup with better apparature.

Gcam doesn't work on 6gb regardless of what version you try, capture button greys out after few clicks, sound quality is really poor on headfones. Camera and screen is below average and design is really outdated.
Only thing that is good in phone is super smooth to use on stock os and great battery life, rest sucks. I'd suggest go for note 7 or note 7 pro. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have read the GCam threads in the apps section and most are saying there is green tint in the front camera, capture button greys out and app force closes, is this the same for the 4GB version too?
I like the Zenfone Max Pro M1 due to the 5000mAh battery whereas the Note 7/Pro only has 4000mAh.

Their is just 45minute screen on time differnce between azmpm1 and RN7p
My advice would be go for RN7p or azmpm2
BTW the 4GB model camera is somewhat inferior without Gcam the quality of images is very poor

But if you are planning to purchase AZMP M1, then my suggestion would be go for newer piece like AZMP M2 or redmi N7pro or any other you wish. :good:

Maybe they are using good sensor now after much criticism.
Combined with 6 inch display and poor camera sensor
my phone was performing worse than redmi 4
But it has too much devlopment although after some time battery feels like it is of 4000ma

In 6gb version gcam versions starting with 5 . are working fine . no issues at all except slow-motion ,, the issues are with gcam version 6 . some versions from some developers are working fine everything is ok like nightsight ar stickers , but some blackout will occur during usage like shutter button failed to capture green tint issues are solved ,. but its working fine in after we clear the cache of the app . if we sent the log to those developers may be they can fix these issues . right now I am not using gcam because camera2api not able to activate it in pie beta .
6GB Version has better camera and the stock camera is better in daylight and some scene .
after pie there is a performance bump and battery usage time increased . when i purchased i got around 6 hr of screen on time , now i am getting around 9 hrs and 2 day standby with remaining 20 or 10 left ,
the issues with the beta is
less output on speakers
no camera2api
some UI glitches and app crashes .
sound got changes while we switches into apps .eg if we are watching movies then a call comes and we are answering in the same time if we switches to mx player or any app the sound will increase respectively ..
these are the noticed issues .
device has a great hardware quality compared to redmi devices but lack of software optimizations .

Not only so, the 6GB M1 has both cameras upgraded, 16MP front and 16MP back.

I have 6gb and I used gcam and it was flawless, also 5000 mAh battery is clearly better than 4000 + ads built in system are well....

In 6gb version gcam versions starting with 5 . are working fine . no issues at all except slow-motion ,, the issues are with gcam version 6 . some versions from some developers are working fine everything is ok like nightsight ar stickers , but some blackout will occur during usage like shutter button failed to capture green tint issues are solved ,. but its working fine in after we clear the cache of the app . if we sent the log to those developers may be they can fix these issues . right now I am not using gcam because camera2api not able to activate it in pie beta .
6GB Version has better camera and the stock camera is better in daylight and some scene .
after pie there is a performance bump and battery usage time increased . when i purchased i got around 6 hr of screen on time , now i am getting around 9 hrs and 2 day standby with remaining 20 or 10 left ,
the issues with the beta is
less output on speakers
no camera2api
some UI glitches and app crashes .
sound got changes while we switches into apps .eg if we are watching movies then a call comes and we are answering in the same time if we switches to mx player or any app the sound will increase respectively ..
these are the noticed issues .
device has a great hardware quality compared to redmi devices but lack of software optimizations .

Agree 6GB version is better. But I found that the gcams I've tried can't take photo if HDR is disabled, and the problem gone when HDR or HDR+ is enabled...
I'm using stock rom, did you have this problem? Can you recommend a gcam with front and back cameras working and night sight working, and can take photo without HDR and HDR+?
Thanks

Gcam version

Which version of gcam works fine in the M3?

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/ All BSG versions are working fine

I saw this version but I don't understand why there are 6 versions, what are the differences (same size) between:
MGC_8.1.101_A9_PVo_snap.apk (org.codeaurora.snapcam)
MGC_8.1.101_A9_PVo_Eng.apk (com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng)
MGC_8.1.101_A9_PVo_MGC.apk (com.android.mgc)
MGC_8.1.101_A9_PVo_ruler.apk (com.samsung.android.ruler)
MGC_8.1.101_A9_PVo_scan3d.apk (com.samsung.android.scan3d)
PS:
A friend use
BufferFix_RN9_Wyroczen.zip
It's for Redmi Note 9 but they share exactly the same cam (Samsung S5KGM1). This is a buffer fix to "fix viewfinder lag on Google Camera and improve processing speeds."

The different versions differ only in their package names, there is no other difference.

how to set 48M pixels?

You can't. These sensors bin pixels 4:1, so the outputting image is always 12MP. Even when you see 48MP option in the original app, that's actually 12MP image upscaled to 48.

8.2 video not work, yep its alpha.

systemID=0 is main
systemID=3 is macro
systemID=1 is front
so, what is deep lens?

bsg 8.1 works the best

M3.xml ?
