Anyone got ARCore working on this phone? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

As we already know our phone doesn't support ARCore but there's a way to enable it on unsupported phones here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ar/
Even tho I did what it said there I couldn't get it to work and every time I open an AR App or I try to open the Playground the app crashes. Did anyone manage to get this work on our device? If yes how?
Might work on custom ROMs but I'm interested in the stock PIE ROM.
Thanks!

Have the same problem. Did everything they said on the site. AR+ option enabled on pokemon go, but whenever I tried to use it, the screen went dark and crashes.

Would be nice if someone says that is able to use arcore right now in this phone. I wonder if it got patched

I know you said that you're interested in stock ROM, but that's the thread that pops up when people google anything related to ARCore and Mi A2 Lite, so I'm here to let everybody know that I got ARCore working on this phone using custom ROM called Pixel Experience. Every AR app I tried works except for Playgound. You can find it here on xda-developers. I couldn't reproduce these effects on stock ROM.

arcore enabler on magisk and voilá! (i recommend use the 1.5v zip file, the 1.6v crashes safety net!)

It doesn't work. Every time i open Playground app or any other AR app it crashes.
I did everything - Magisk+ arcoreenabler(both version 1.5 and 1.6) and installing Arcore and Playground app.
I'm on Pie stock.
Any help?

I'm also trying to get ARCore working on my A2 Lite but still nothing... I want to install the Measure app, which needs ARCore, but every time I try to open, it crashes. Has anyone found a solution?

For a while I was able to run ARcore following these institutions, but at the time my device was on Android 8 but now after I have upgraded to Android 9 it doesn't work at all.

Right now I'm using an GSI version of android 10 for our device and all AR apps including gcam playground are working fine(maybe a little bit laggy in playground camera, but maybe it depends on which version of gcam you are using) Maybe these days if i have some free time ,i'll reflash stock rom and look for a solution

I installed the pixel experience rom but it still didn't work.

Guys, I made it work at june 19. I forgot to share here. Everything relationed to ARcore was working, even playground. My response is in this thread for whoever got the same issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/arcore-support-mi-a2-t3900879

Hey there, I remember I had got ARCore working A2 Lite. After flashing the module through Magisk, you need to install the ARCore app from PlayStore from here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.ar.core
It should work afterwards, but Pokemon might not work, as they check for rooted/unlocked devices to prevent cheating.

You just have to go to "magisk hide" inside magisk app and add pokemon go in there

Arcore is working!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'll explain it to you very simple. Tell me if you don't understand me or if you want an explaination with detail.
(Continue at your own risk. I don't have any responsibility for bricked devices in case you don't know what you are doing!!!)
1: Downgrate your android device to the latest version of android oreo(8.1.0).
2: Root your android.
3: Install Magisk Manager.
4: Download and install the magisk module "ArCore/Playground Patcher".
5: Use a terminal emulator to enable camera2 api.
6: Install google camera port for mi a2 lite (or mi a2 if your device is a mi a2).
Done! Now you can play any ar game or install ArStickers for Google Camera(Ar Stickers is an older version of Playground for android 8)
Warning: Google Camera may crash when you are in Video mode or Photo mode but everything else works (including ArStickers)
Also let me know if it worked.

Yes, you can get Gcam to work on your device by using these steps, If you don't wanna root your device.
Though rooting your device will make the process 5x easier, it's up to you. ?
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Have a nice day
You have to unlock BL to do:
- Install twrp recovery
- Flash CameraAPI2 enabler zip file
- Install GCam
But if not root, you can't take front HDR+ Enhanced and Portrait.
If you root you can solve front cam problem.
I don't know why you don't want root. If something relate to finance apps, magisk hide will pass easily!

Yes you can, take a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/themes/gcam-root-flashing-twrp-t3813230
Yeah you can do it but you need to unlock your bootloader at least if not root ...if you unlock your bootloader then you can temporarily boot twrp and by using you can enable camera 2 api and thus,install gcam
You can use ADB on MIUI to enable Camera2 API, which works without root.

Which Google Camera port should I use?

I have level 3 hardware support for camera2.
The problem is, the apk in the guide seems like an old version, but there are about 100 different APKs here
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk411
Which one should I use? Would be nice to know what to look for for future updates too
Thanks
Id like to know as well, the sheer amount of links on the GCam page is really confusing.
I'm using the MiMax version which works well but sadly the portrait mode doesn't and you need to turn off HDR+ to get the fron cam working
Try the cstark27 one of the best fit this device, front facing camera is about the only thing not working but don't do selfies so I am ok with that

Yes but it is version 5 and has no night sight mode
Yet it still is the most functional one, lacking a gimmick feature that doesn't even work that well on this device isn't a huge deal.
Hi! I've update my MiA2Lite to Android 9 but now I don't find right version of GCam.. I tried many apk but everyone crashed when I start camera

you must unlock bootloader and enable camera2api or simpy root with magisk and install "camera2api enabler" module from the download section!!

Is that still the case after the Pie update?
I'm getting weird green artifacting sometimes
Now in pie i use arthur's latest version.
Everything is working and 5.3.15
There is no cera2api enabler in magisk download page. May be they removed it or what should i do to enable camera2 api?

After you've installed magisk
Download Root browser from play store
Open the Root browser
Go to the folder named "system" and open it
Scroll down to build.prop and click on it, open with Root browser text editor.
Scroll to the last line after the empty row press enter to start another row
Type 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1' without the quotations.
Press enter to move to another empty row

Uhm hello... I'm new here and my english it's a little bad, so, sorry if I'm not speaking well.
The oficial minecraft earth came out and... Even if I had the ARcore installed and all that, minecraft is still not working, first It gave me a grey screen when trying to load a buildplate, and when I installed a Google camera, It suddenly closes trying to loading buildplates, i tried to uninstall and install but don't worked, I don't know what to do... Can anyone help me? My phone is a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
Still not working man..I've also encountered this problem with some of my textures. Maybe you have a corrupted file and that's why this is not working. Ever since I've started playing Minecraft, I've used the standard texture pack. I honestly don't get why people love to modify the game. Maybe it's a personal preference haha. Anyways, maybe you should try a different texture pack. I know that maybe you would love to try this one, but yeah, unfortunately sometimes they simply don't work.

I tried to see what version is used on my phone and I believe it is this one (4.3 85MB), maybe that works? It could also be that you need to install it as an system app over recovery or so.

long story short will not work on poco F3 custom rom why post all this crap?
Sorry for the bump - I just got this phone, flashed ArrowOS on it and I'm trying to find ways to use the extra cameras of my device; neither the default Camera on this custom ROM nor GCam can apparently access them.
ANXCamera, indeed, doesn't flash properly. The F3 isn't in the list of supported models as far as I can see either.
Is there a recommended camera app for these features, or a specific pacage of the MIUI default camera app I could flash on my ROM these days? Thanks!

Try this Gcam: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl75/
and use this XML (needs to be placed in /storage/emulated/0/GCam/Configs8):
Config Files for BSG 8.1

Question Going back to original (MIUI Global stable) after flashing many custom roms

Hello, guys! I have a question for you; I hope you could help me out with this, I've been looking over the web and couldn't find anything.
First some background.
Right after I bought my POCO F3, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the xiaomi.eu rom, I stayed there for months, but then I wanted to try some AOSP ROMs, so I flashed crDroid, it wasn't what I was looking for, so I switched to Pixel Experience, I was pretty happy with it but some banking apps didn't work even with Magisk and zygisk and all that stuff, so I tried to flash Pixel OS but their recovery didn't work for me, my last shot was Lineage OS, but it was similar to crDroid, long story short, I decided to go back to MIUI global.
I used the official MiFlash tool and flashed the latest release of MIUI global stable through fastboot.
My concern is the following, after flashing the original rom through fastboot with the option "clean_all" is the phone stays the same as before flashing all that stuff? If not, what should I do?
Somehow I feel like there is a huge mess in the internal memory and I just want to make sure that everything is formatted, cleaned and original, like it never had any custom rom installed before.
If you chose clean all it will be like Brandon new, take note if you leave the bootloader un locked it will not pass google play store of certification, how lame right ,they want you to lock the bootloader, that's why I chose Arrow

I didn't now that, I just installed safetynet test and it fails the CTS profile match
Can I just lock the bootloader again to go back to normal? I don't plan to keep messing around with custom roms again

You don't need to lock the BL.
Get Magisk, enable Zygisk, and use the Magisk Module "SafetyNet Fix" from GitHub. The Module did the job for me.
Might also work on Pixel Experience. ^^
I'm currently just using Stock MIUI 13.

I already did that in pixel experience, but there was just one banking app that didn't want to work no matter what I try. I really wanted to stay in pixel experience but now that I'm back in MIUI 13 with poco launcher 4 it's not that bad either, at least I have Dolby Atmos, HDR and all that stuff.

Yeah because of Dolby Atmos and MIUI Camera I'm also staying on MIUI. ^^
BTW, just to really make sure, you used Magisk Module "SafetyNet Fix" on Pixel Experience, yes?
You can try deleting the folder "TWRP" if existent (some apps check for that folder, e.g. Mario Kart). You can also try hiding Magisk App (apps also check for that app).

if you want the goodies of MIUI but also to pass safetynet without issues i suggest you to try "xiaomi eu"
they are based on the chinese rom which is ahead in terms of features and bugfixes (specially the beta) and have some optimizations to make the experience better

Tried it.. it's oky... I like Google System Apps more. Call Recording Feature was nice. :v
But unfortunately, GSI's didn't work/boot with Xiaomi.eu (Generic System Images). I like to be able to use GSI's, to try out other new OSes from time to time, Dual Boot sorta. ^^
