About Note 7 ports

Guys i see quite much Note 7 ports for S7 edge, Can someone guide me as to which one is more preferred because of stability and battery life? i am confused

First thing to do is to see if you have a samsung sensor or a Sony sensor. If it's a samsung one, I highly think it's not great to update to Note 7 port cause the photos will be awfull.
You could see what sensor you have with AIDA or Phone Info !
Grace UX will be port in the next update

I have the impression renovate is the best one. But personally i still use s7 edge rom because i can wait few weeks because i read on sammobile the nougat update for our s7 edge will bring most software features from the note 7 like improved aod and grace ux.
offtopic: is the samsung camera sensor worse then the sony one? under normal conditions?

I flashed Renovate rom. And it looks awesome. Loving it!
I have a screenshot attached. Which sensor is that?

Samsung Sensor was only bad on S6, on S7E it looks stunning. Before buying my S7 Edge I was playing with other phones cameras and the S7E had best image quality. Even compared to Xperia cameras (which I kinda dislike for image processing(amount of pixels is visible but only when You zoom in)) or LG G5 which once again other than huge viewing angle had quite poor colour-less photos. And it's not true that N7 ports will give You a bad camera. I've been using N7 ports for a while and they take same quality pictures like stock roms from sammobile.

I haven't tried any of them but numerous people have said if you have a Samsung sensor the photos come out like potato. Not because the sensor is bad but because the required libs for the Samsung sensor haven't been ported over properly.

Possiblity of zero camera mod for OnePlus 5 like s8

Hello everyone,
Recently I was wondering for 4k 60fps for our op5, after searching different articles, I found a mod for Samsung s8 sd835 devices which enables 4k at 60fps
Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/zero-camera-mod-bitrates-jpg-hdr-af-t3625795/amp/
My question is, is it possible to Port this mod for our OnePlus 5 which has similar specs.
I'm pretty sure our op5 is capable for 4k 60fps.
Please let me know if anything possible

impossible

When it is possible for s8 with sd835, why not for op5

S9 camera for S8?

[email protected]
Is there the S9 camera app aviable for our S8? Can we download the app somewhere?

Short answer: no

Long answer? I mean could this change in the future?

I would assume that if it's a S9 app, then it's probably programmed for the S9 camera. You can always add features to software so nothing is preventing the S9 features being added to the S8 app.
Using S9 app with S8 camera will most likely yield worse photos than with S8 app & S8 camera.
The cam apps in play store are more generic so they will work with any camera and the only selling points are the features.

like S8 camera with the mask ...
oh wait we have it on S6

Very important news about this phone!

Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!
I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.
S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.
I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…
only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)
I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one
If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)
This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.
I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did

So, you say s6 is better than s8 (in camera) because resolution?
Then my xperia S (12 mpx) has the same camera quality like s8, right?

I didnt say that. I know that res/Mpix is not the final thing in judgeing the cam quality.
The purpose of this post was to warn all of ppl that DO want to use only smartfion to take pics.
I have no agenda against S8+. I just know that a lot of ppl are massivly abandoning S6 cause they think that cam will be significntly better on a newer Galaxy. Out of my good heart I want to spare them the dissapointment.
Like I said if a person wants to change S6 only for pics quality reason they should buy nothing less than S9+ otherwise they will be sadly dissapointed.

I disagree. My s8 takes much better photos than my s6.

With all respect to You.
Why is that my S6E+ made 1000 photos of comparing (in bright light of course) since the lanuch of S7 till the launch of S9/S9+
And...
There's a post on XDA where expert members of XDA (high lever, maybe dev even) do agree with me.

Wrong thread dude

I just bought a samsung galaxy s7 edge model SM-G935T honestly I'm disappointed at the photo level. I was expecting a lot better especially on this model I have a sony imx 260 sensor, which is weird with the Chinese smartphone leeco pro 3 which a sensor sony imx 298 of lower quality. I can produce better shots on leeco X722 thanks to the Google camera. Is there a way to install the gcam on samsung so you can get the most out of it?

Search is your friend, there are working gcam ports for this phone, albeit it can't store pics to external storage without jumping through a couple of hoops.

Yes, I am aware that there are certainly some versions of gcam function for the Samsung SM-G935T especially that I am very connected in this area with leeco pro 3 which accepts almost all versions of this list thank you for having me answered.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

It's good, I found version 6.1021 works best on the Samsung SM-G935T under oreo and bug least compared to others. Exactly it is the one I use with my leeco pro 3 but against the battery it is empty at a speed unbelievable. On leeco the application is better optimized, it consumes less battery. As you can see I took some pictures with the application.

There is another version that works very well on my samsung SM-G935T snapdragon 820 without crash compared to others is this version or there is precisely Yuv_420_888 which must be selected in the settings for no bug.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v6slidertest-san1ty.apk
On this version the viewfinder and much faster.

I have two versions that works well on our smartphone under snapdragon 820 with the rom oreo even without being rooted.
There are several, but I chose the most recent one.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a_xcam_0.apk
Do the tests and look at the one that brings you the most satisfaction.

This is a new version of gcam that is rich in option and works well under oreo but it does not crash.
install this one first
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a_xcam_0.apk
and over install this new version and create a gcam folder with the file config.xml
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gca...ova-based_v.1.3c_fix_TlnNeun_xcam_5_beta6.apk

Anything available for exynos?

for the Exynos processor I do not think it's compatible with me running under a snapdragon 820 processor with the official Oreo Rom without root.
For exynos under the rom oreo test rather those of this list

I explained in my previous comment to be able to install the second application without crash and that it is very rich in option, it must first install the first application is configure it by activating the hdr +
and after finishing the installation of the first, especially do not uninstall it that is the same developer of the second, and install the second that will take over the first.
the goal is that the second application installs without any crash.

I am getting the same green tint all over the picture specialy front cam.
Please help me

For selfies install this app in addition
do not uninstall the other.
because I tried all the parameters, but unfortunately, the green tint remains present.
it works best for selfies without the drawbacks of red or green hue.

sorry, but you have a serious problem, I notice that you do not read enough previous messages that I posted or explain that these versions are compatible only for the Samsung Galaxy S7 under the Snapdragon 820 processor, and I do not do that at chance, at first I try first on my smartphone Leeco pro 3 because with this phone all versions are compatible, but the objective is to compare the quality of the images, if it is of good quality I made the try on my Samsung smartphone and if it works, I share it with others in the community who have the same processor as mine because most have tested and posted versions it works on their smartphone, but the problem is that you rush without reading what I posted before, if you resume all my previous messages that I put online or I answer a person who asks me if it works under the Exynos processor? I answer that it does not work because it is not the same processor.

Funny people go crazy for no reason.. For your record, I have spent lot of time searching and trying. And. By the way, the mentioned comboo WORK on my Exynos S7.

Please forgive me for my previous message that I misinterpreted but soon I intend to get the same phone as the samsung SM-G930F is I will do google camera tests thank you

Listen, I'll give you an example on this version
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog324/
which is in my opinion the best GCAM of all the cameras that I tested on my Leeco pro 3, but unfortunately, does not work on the Samsung Galaxy S7 under Oreo because for me, it's the best version of all GCAM that I tested is particularly the most complete in the viewfinder attaches to perfection and works perfectly on my Leeco pro 3 that it is for selfies or tip top of the rear camera, I wanted to run it on the Samsung but alas the crash of the device.
