Gcam 8.7.250 Config File Download

[Arnold Gilgen]

Youcan configure the app manually. Disable the settings/features that don't work on your phone. If you need help, find a forum thread and ask which settings are better for your phone (see my list of useful threads/groups).

I'm indebted to many in the GCam and Pixel 7 thread and have been kindly helped in that thread by people who know I have a Pixel 8. For the sake of other searchers and, I hope, contributors in future, I'm starting a new thread for the 8.

BACKGROUND--WHY I'M BOTHERING WITH GCAM AND THE PIXEL 8

So the Pixel 8 oversharpens and also oversaturates subtle sky and muted water colors. It's my first new phone in about six years and oh how the world of phone cameras has changed since then. If that is the look you like it's great, and at times I like the results myself, but I also want a workaround as at times I intensely dislike what it does to nature photography, especially in the non-glorious times of year which still have their subtle beauty. But the phone is capable of taking some very nice photos--the hardware is there--it's the brains of it that are making editorial decisions I don't like. I turned on RAW so I have access to that if I want to work with it but would also like a jpeg experience that gets closer the first time around.

VERSION OF GCAM I'M TRYING

Again for anyone as new as I was a week ago, if there is a config file for your phone or one recommended for your phone, that's a great place to start. There wasn't one for my phone but Andre (see other thread) had good results with this one:

_P7Series_AGC9.1.24_V1.0.T2.agc

But that is listed for the Pixel 7, which Andre has.

Since there isn't one listed for the 8, I did try that one. However, I never succeeded in getting it loaded so as to display in the config selection area of the camera app. (Location of that described below.)

BENEFITS EVEN WITHOUT A CONFIG FILE

Even shooting without it loaded, I am grateful for the absence of oversharpening--already a huge help in certain situations. See photo of grasses in the Pixel 7 GCam thread. (A few days ago.) I know what the stock camera would do to those grasses! They would be dramatically sharpened. This is better even without a config.

MAKING SETTINGS ADJUSTMENTS IN ABSENCE OF A CONFIG FILE

In the absence of a config file for my phone, the 8, and in the absence of knowing how to get the above config file to play with the 8, I desired to make changes myself to the various hue parameters, in hopes of dealing with my sky and water issues. Basically, a custom config, since I am not succeeding with installing configs of others yet.

On the 7, as per Andre, Quick Settings is not the best way to get to these settings but on the 8, I have access to the most settings via QS. (Upper right corner of view screen. Wait for the little movie camera thing to be replaced by a dot, then open that icon and you will see Quick Settings.)

/the problem of inactive controls

But in QS, at first I was stymied. Key color controls that I wanted were inactive and I couldn't figure out how to open them up. I wondered if something is upstream of them preventing them from opening. I wondered if that feature hadn't been implemented in this version of GCam for my phone yet. I wondered how to find out . . .

/how to activate the inactive controls

I finally found out. And hope this may help someone else. I am not any kind of expert. I'm a beginner who just got past a frustration . . . and am happy because I am now getting better results. I think.

So to get into making changes like changing the relative intensities of the red, yellow, blue, cyan, etc. values, what I have learned is:

If you turn on Color Override it unlocks the ability to unlock CCT correction, and that then unlocks the ability to either choose from a named set of color transforms, or to choose Color Transform Custom. I experimented with a few of the named transforms and may go back to that. But instead I have for now settled on Color Transform Custom. Choosing that lets me change (if I want to) the RGB etc. numbers.

I dislike the purple shift that the stock camera gives to cyan skies and I know I generally like a warmer image. FWIW what I'm experimenting with now is Saturation: Blue at 0.9, Cyan at 0.9, Yellow at 1.3.

I don't have a blue sky today to shoot but indoors in various textiles, artwork, etc. I have hues that are challenging for the stock camera and even those few changes to GCam are doing a more accurate job when it comes to the kinds of greenish blues the stock camera tends to push into the more purplish direction. Which should help with skies. I am sure I will discover there is much more to it than that but it's a start.

TIP: WHERE TO SEE THE EFFECT OF YOUR CHANGES--NOT IN THE VIEWFINDER

BUT NOTE, I do NOT see the changes applied in the viewfinder. They don't show up till the photo is saved in Google Photos. I tested this by making extreme changes--still no change in viewfinder--but in the Gallery, there the extreme changes were. So now I know to look at the instant replAy of photo I just took, from the mini image near shutter button, or at the Gallery, to see the impact of a change in Quick Settings. Don't expect to see it while you shoot in the viewfinder.

Now that I know I don't see my own custom changes in the viewfinder, I will also reenter Quick Settings, try someone's named transform, and see how I like it not in viewfinder but in the saved image! Maybe that was why I wasn't see desired changes from those named transforms. Even without a full config package, one of those named color transforms may be enough for me. And they were made by people who know a lot more than I do.

NAMING AND SAVING YOUR SETTINGS INTO YOUR OWN PROFIILE

At the very bottom (in my 8) of the screen holding these choices, you can name your settings. Your named settings will load in place of Profile 1. But meanwhile, the settings as you last left them in Quick Settings are still there under QS. So I now have my named profile, but I can start afresh in QS and modify what is in QS, then later give that set of settings a new name. Etc.

OTHER SETTINGS WHERE ONE CHOICE OPENS UP OTHERS

The same downstream thing applies elsewhere. Color Override also unlocks a set of White Balance corrections. And higher up on the list, if you turn on AWB override, it unlocks rg coeff and bg coeff.

I suspect that one needs to know a lot to layer these changes intelligently on top of one another and maybe some of these are semi-redundant and you need only pick a way of changing the color to taste . . . like Andre I would love a tutorial on the meaning and use of these settings.

Enough for now--hope this helps someone and hope others chime in who know more!

A while ago, the Google Camera developer community came up with a revolutionary feature that supported the installation of custom config files. This is an XML file, for various GCAM ports, that features a set of predefined configurations specific to your Android device. This helps run Google Camera app on any smartphone and capture detailed, sharp, and high-contrast photos.

Config Files are XML files that contain camera settings for different scenarios. These settings include exposure time, ISO, white balance, and other parameters that affect image quality. Config files can be downloaded and applied to the GCAM app, which then automatically applies these settings to the camera. This allows users to quickly switch between different configurations without having to adjust the settings manually.

Previously, it helped get rid of bugs, lags, and pink/blue/green tints from the Gcam ports. The configurations also helped in color correction and enable features like enhanced HDR+, Night Sight, and more on several smartphones.
