Google Camera HDR+ - Xiaomi Mi 6 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Has anyone tried the new Google camera port with HDR+? If so, report your ROM and whether it worked or not. You might need to enable camera HAL3 and camera api2 for it to work.
All credits go to recognised developer B-S-G.

I tried it on Xiaomi EU 7.7.20. So far the App is starting but AF and MF don't work in picturemode. In videomode AF works fine.

Epic ROM based on MIUI9. Focusing doesn't work in photo mode. You can switch to video recording, refocus, switch back to photo mode and take a shot.

Fc on latest global rom. Locked bootloader

no work this device

I tried installing it on the S7 G930P rooted/SuperSU282 but keeps restarting. I can start the VIdeo recorder from the quick start menu option via NovaLauncher, but cannot get the camera portion to operate correctly. Previously, I used 4.2 x64 and I have BEEN waiting for this release to surface.
xdadevet, would you mind explaining how to enable HAL3 and api2?

i am running 4.4.020 , work well in my Mi6 with epic rom Miui 9
EDT: the mod HDR+ version is unstable, need to switch to video to get focus and back to image to take picture.

Well, you can manually enable it by editing some camera libs and the build prop, but if your ROM doesn't support it you will run into trouble trying to use your camera. I suggest you ask your ROM developer whether it is enabled, or use the Manual Camera Compatibility app to see if your ROM supports camera api2.
You don't need superuser access for it to work. Just make sure your ROM uses HAL3 instead of HAL1.
I'm asking because HDR+ works fantastic on my Xiaomi Mi5 and delivers much better pictures with Google Camera on AOSP than stock MIUI (I've attached an indoor lighting photo below) and my friend is looking to buy the Xiaomi Mi6 and I wanted to check whether it is compatible.

While Camera NX does work, it doesn't support HDR+ which made the Google Pixel's photography prowess apparent.

My workarround by now Is Focus into vídeo mode and back to Photo mode

That focus thing is a general problem with Google Cam and HDR+ or just Mi6?

Hi! I'd like to get Google Camera app with HDR+ on my Xiaomi Mi A1, but the official XDA port doesn't work. I've heard of some people using the app in SD625 devices, and the Mi A1 has the 625 SoC, so in theory it may be possible to port the app... I can't code, so does anyone know something about a download link that works on Mi A1 or can mod the XDA apk to work on the Mi A1?

If you are rooted you have to add below line in build.prop -
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
after that reboot. you will have working gcam with HDR+. although the slomo option won't work. and you will have EIS too in gcam.

i think Google camera hdr+ need a snapdragon 820++ isn't it?
@thewarrior2 It doesn't, it needs a 64bit OS and a snapdragon SoC packing a certain Hexagon DSP
Can anybody post comparison pictures of hdr+ and stock xiaomi camera app? I am really interested in seeing the results before buying this phone.

If you cant find the difference by looking at the samples posted, then you dont need HDR+.
But the fact is the difference is night and day!
Google is primarily known for software, which is what HDR+ is all about.. It uses the camera h/w, takes many pics when you click the shutter button, each in different contrast, and applies some kick-ass machine learning algorithms on every pixel of each groups of pics it took, fuses all of them, to get awsome looking pics.. Thats all it does, and thats all that no other stock camera app does from any other manufacturer. Thats why it beats even iphone.
So basically, google does more through software , what all others achieve through multiple h/w.. Reason why pixel 2 still has single Camera.

Google camera port with Hdr+ (abandoned)

This is kinda work in progress port of Gcam with hdr+ for arm devices. it's based on google camera version 4.2.035.141213305-arm.
it needs camera api 2 enabled. you can enable it via flashing the zip I've attached or add below line into build.prop.
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Stock rom is preferred, but it should work on all roms as long as above requirement is met.
Google camera apk
Please let me know if auto/touch focus works or not. happy testing :good:
Credit : @defcomg
Requires TWRP for flashing zip. or root for manually editing build.prop
So the moto g5s doesn't have the api enabled by default? The file can't be downloaded BTW.

As it turns out.
Camera stopped working right on start
Nice! Works here.
But, I got some problems at my first test - Google Camera apk from OP link;
- Back camera resolution: in the app, the res are 12.1 (16:9) mpx, in face of the real 16mpx (4:3)
- Slow mode crashes every time
- Panorama seems don't run as well
Anyway, I feel the focus are, now, amazing! I had a Moto G5 - Cedric in the begginin of 2017. Now, I got the Montana, but, always the same problem: Strange focus. In macro, i mean.

HRD+ works really for the images, but there seems to be a tint when capturing images without HDR
Good thanks, but there's one issue:
as soon as camera api 2 is enabled Whatsapp, OpenCamera, Moto Kamera report "media format is not supported" at recording video, guess there's a codec missing then.
No mather if stock or linageOS.
Only Footej Camera is able to record video. Anyone else?
After enable api cam my device stock camera showing error what I do

search in build.prop this line:

put the package name of apps that are not working well with camera2api, like this:

camera.hal1.packagelist=com.whatsapp,com.instagram.android,com.vsco.cam
the listed apps will use the old api
I can't record video with neither gcamera nor stock camera. I already delete the cache and data, but still doesn't work. What can I do?

Google Camera Mod (Oreo/Pie/10)

Since everyone on the huge OnePlus 3 thread gets tetchy if you raise queries about other phones, I decided to start a discussion thread. What have your experiences with these mods been, and which variations work best for you?
Personally, I've opted for the recent Google Camera Pixel Mods by @Arnova8G2 as they seem to give the best all-round functionality on this phone. I can switch between the various mods and configs without a hitch, and portrait mode works a charm. I find that the main Arnova mod (GCMod5) doesn't seem to work well on this phone in Portrait mode, either failing to take a pic without HDR + or giving greenish selfies with HDR+ active; his Pixel Mod, on the other hand, works perfectly.
Google Camera Pixel Mod links: Original version (more options in advanced); v1 (improved video stabilisation).
Recommendation: If you want detailed main and selfie cam pictures, set the model config to "Nexus 5x" instead of "Nexus 6P"; I was dissatisfied with the selfies on the latter config, but after reading this by B-S-G, I switched and all was well. The main camera config, as with the actual Nexus phones, is exactly the same.
UPDATE (11/2/20):
Recommended cams:
Oreo: MGC_5.1.018_tolyan009_v1.4.1-test6.apk
Pie: MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e+.apk (no libs)/(w/libs)/(dark menu w/libs)
10: MGC_7.2.014_Parrot043-v3.apk ; MGC_6.1.021_mi6 edition _v7.7a (6.1 interface, plenty of libs, XML compatibility).

I tried on my device with Cosmic OS from 20/01 and everything works except for the portrait mode on front cam where the shots have some greenish effect.
Please @Arnova8G2 can you fix this? Thanks!

This "Pixel2Mod" doesn't work as well for this phone as the "PixelMod". Greenish front HDR+, followed by crashes; plus, all the model/HDR+ configuration options are gone.
@Arnova8G2, if you could add a toggle to fix the greenish/pinkish tint on the back camera's "HDR+ on" mode, and perhaps stick in your "improve photos in low light" toggle, the original "PixelMod" would be the best GCam mod for this phone, hands down.

may I ask in which ROMs Google Camera works properly ?
I know that it works on AEX 5.1 but that ROM seems to be buggy for me , I did not like it. I use RR v5.8.3 for a long time since it is very stable and battery life is good but I tried to install Google Camera in that ROM , no luck..
Does any of the Nougat ROMs for Zuk Z2 Pro supports camera2api ? anyone knows?

I don't think any Nougat ROM for this phone supports Camera2API. It was kinda a big deal when it was annouced for AEX 5.1. What version of 5.1 was "buggy" for you? The latest official version has issues, but the New Year's Eve beta works great.

The last version works really slow for me.. for example double tab to wake feature works with 1-2 seconds delay. Same as pressing power button to wake device up works with delay.. Wifi toggle also same.. I mean in general feeling ROM was quite slow compared to RR Nougat ROM. I saw your post about new year's eve version in another topic , I downloaded it and tried to install but somehow same gapps which was working in latest version did not work in new year's eve version.. Can you tell me which gapps (with release date of gapps) did you flash exactly?
Last 2 days I keep switching between ROMs to check which one is most stable.. I should say that definitely Stock ROM with Android 8 is the fastest and most stable one. But it is very frustrating that you can not use Google Camera in that ROM , such an annoyance.. howcome ZUI developers did not include camera2api in Oreo version , i could not understand

I tried several versions, only some of them work partially - night mode is lacking as hell.
Reminds me of the MI8 before they implemented fixes for it in the official ROM.
Did some1 have any more luck with a working version?
Camera2API is enabled and fully supported says Camera2API Probe app..

Do you know what those settings would be?
Go to BSG mod settings-->Fix
Sett buffer fix to On
Image format JPEG (Need mi8)
Add aux to camera switch On
This is what I set
thanks, it works with such settings. I tried a night mode photo and the quality is improved a lot respect to miui camera

Thank you it works. Any ideas how to switch to the wide angle or telephoto lens?
Yeah, a wide lense support of the gcam as seen on the MI 9 and the LG Series would be really helpfull!
any news on this topic ?
try this, works for me

thx will try it.
a general question: how do we ensure that there is no nasty trojan or spyware in those apks ?
is there a way to sandbox those apps ?

I would like to post some pics but somehow I cant
so... no progress here, right.
i tested tons and several of modded gcam.. with none of them night mode is working properly. it just struggles around after 2sec and is not usable.
strange the the normal mi 9 has a working version.
is there something missing in case of firmware xiaomi has to patch to make it work? just asking because this was the case on mi8 and mix2s.. after a patch from xiaomi gcams were surprisingly working..

cmiiw, mi 9 se required gcam that has 'Frame Buffer' fix on it. Maybe that was firmware problem or maybe something else... ??*
uhmm no. not correct. buffer fix works indeed for normal gcam usage.. ut the buffer fix doesn't apply to night mode.
Can someone do a little comparison between stock camera and GCam? With some sample. This could be awesome.

I'd also appreciate this. From what I gather too, the gcam works fine in all functions other than night mode?
A quick comparison from my sofa.... both shots attempted to hold same position, with the focus on the nearest point of the lip of the cup.
Xiaomi.eu 9.5.9 shot on 48M camera mode - link
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.apk shot on 48M HDR+ camera mode - link
The default settings with Xiaomi camera produced 6000x8000 13.5MB JPEG, on gcam 3000x4000 2.0MB.
Colour reproduction, contrast and detail is so much better with HDR+ processing using gcam camera. This is typical of what I find when comparing gcam to xiaomi camera app.

It's not working in hdr+ or hdr++ on stock 10.0.14.0.
It's working on 10.0.13.0 flawlessly!
You have camera2 api enabled?

And without camera2 api any gcam will crash.
Forgot about that, you're right!
This is beyond strange, still working for me. Try to take another picture with front camera and check like a minute later if the pic is showing in your gallery. It takes a bit for our A2 to proceed the selfie. If it's still not working idk?

Still no luck. Can take picture in normal mode, not in hdr. Have you changed any settings, developer settings?
Does the focus on Android Pie work?
10.0.14.0 HDR not working on the front facing camera, everything else works I believe. Also i think there was a version that could shot 1080 60fps video, not really sure, this version only shots at 30 fps. Thanks for the apk!!
the focus is very unstable
On my phone it won't even install, even though I have camera2 api. Other GCam's (version 5 and 6) do work.
It is this one, right? GCam_7.0.009_A_005.apk

you have to uninstall one the versions you have installed then you try installing again.. it conflicts with the existing one you have installed.. I'm sure it's the v5
Try and see

Indeed, after uninstalling both the V5 and V6 GCam, it worked. Thanks!
Too bad i have to manually switch HDR off when using the front cam, and back on again when using the back cam.
There are focus issues as usual. If someone can specifically build a GCam version for Mi A series, that would be great.
video working for anyone using the aforementioned GCam ?

Working RR
testing on 10 GSI now
edit: installs, but crashes on startup
I heard there is astronomy photography feature(cuttlefish mode) in gcam v.7. But with this version I cant find one though there are several options "camera.cuttle.something" in the developer options. Anybody knows about it?
Hi guys,
Is there a way to save picture on sdcard ?

I didn't meant the settings thing, i want the feature, while shooting in night mode there should be the cuttlefish mode, this mode have a very long exposure time like 1 min or so and u have to keep the phone steady for that time. This mode ultimately create more sharper image than the previous night mode, also can detect stars.
