Hi,
My Redmi Note 5 (4/64, global) arrived on Friday, and I opened my bootloader immediately, got TWRP, and installed Resurrection Remix. The only problem is with the ROM, is that the Google Camera ports are not working, therefore camera quality is significantly lower than it is on MIUI, but I hate using MIUI, so I am clueless.
The question is: Is there a stable ROM with Substratum support, that has GCAM and is reliable to use as a daily driver?
I use lineage with Gcam. Photo quality is decent, I suppose on miui it's better.
Any idea to fix poor camera result in "Video Calling Apps" like Whatsapp, Skype etc?
Is there any Custom or MIUI rom for Note 5 Pro where camera works just fine during videos calls instead of being dark, blurry and grainy making it look like a VGA camera from a decade ago in 3rd party apps like Whatsapp, IMO, Skype, Facebook etc? I tried many versions of MIUI 9 and 10 (Stable & Beta) also tried latest Lineage, Nitrogen and PE Extended custom roms but result is same horrible camera result in video calls.
The camera works fine in Google Duo and built in Camera app so the issue is not with the camera. This is a major bug every user is facing it in RN5P and MIUI forums are full with threads on this bug but i haven't seen any youtuber mentioning this bug at all although there are a like a million videos about RN5P on youtube discussing same features over and over again.
Roms i tried:
MIUI 9.5.19
MIUI 9.6.4
MIUI 10.0.1
MIUI 10.0.2
MIUI 10.0.4
MIUI 8.10.25 Beta
MIUI 8.11.1 Beta
MIUI 8.11.8 Beta
PE Extended Latest
Linage OS 15.1 Latest
Nitrogen OS Latest
All of the above mentioned Roms had this issue.
So any idea how can i fix this bug or if there is any rom with a fix for this issue? This is really poor from Xiaomi to have a 13MP front camera with a bug like this and they are not even willing to fix it.

That's not a solution i can't ask everyone to install Google Duo just because my phone video calling sucks in other apps so they need to stop using those apps too.

Atleast in recent mobiles google duo comes pre installed..
Right now there is no fix.. wait for future updates, Xiaomi is enabling camera2api in their mobile and hopefully Xiaomi will enable camera2api in our device

I enabled camera2api and also tried roms with api enabled but result was same i guess it's something to do with the firmware not roms?

It can also be problem with those apps... Can't blame Xiaomi alone... Camera2api from Xiaomi can improve the overall quality because OEMs have complete control over camera blobs

I found out that if in video call, I switch between front and back camera, the quality changes.
hi i just got a nx5 which is working fine
any google camera mod available for oreo with night sight?
another thing,
are pie builds good enough for old batteries ?
i mean how is the battery backup compared to stock oreo.
suggest any
thanks
No, it's a feature of pixel 3 camera and there isn't a pixel 3 camera mod working on oreo.
I think the best camera available for nexus 5x in terms of features and image quality is Arnova (pixel 2 mod), you can download it from here . Try the red links. If your nexus has 2gb of ram you may have some camera issue with latest versions.
About the Pie roms I noticed an increment in battery drain, but the real problem is in performance. if your nexus has 2gb of ram you should better to stay on oreo, if you have a modded motherboard with 4gb of ram you can try to use Pie.
Yes there are Android Oreo mods for NightSight out there. Dig a little harder I don't have a link with me but it does exist.
Just to leave the information here, I use arnova's Gcam5 mod on my N5X with latest lineageOS 15.1 and in contrast to the stock Gcam APK (even same version number!) it's working beautifully, no force closes, HDR is functioning - so definitely an improvement!
Very recently I got a Gcam port by Arnova that finally worked on my Honor 10(HDR+e & Night Sight), but as soon as I updated to EMUI 9, it never worked.
I am not truly impressed with Honor 10's camera(in challenging situations & low light), and that gcam mod did help.
But now, I'm back to square one.
Can anybody share a working gcam link on EMUI 9?
Many Thanks!
am also searching bro.. will share once i find
