Best Camera APK for Mi 6

Having played around with some of the camera apk's for the Mi 6 what is the general opinion of the Mi 6 users?
Google Camera
MIUI Camera
Snapdragon
OnePlus
Moto
I find the Google camera to be the best even if HDR isn't enabled but the video is very choppy when panned to any degree. MIUI has a much smoother camera as does the OnePlus camera (tested latest version 2.5.20)
Let me know what you all think as will be interested to see results/settings

Google camera has the best picture quality, that's for sure, and I use the stock camera for videos.

What build of the Google camera have you been using/is the best to use?
I know all versions struggle with AF on HDR+ without toggling the settings each time

I've tried google camera with pixel libraries and 6p settings. Hdr+ photos are amazing. Can we collect all the mods in your thread ?

Yeah happy for that to happen, see what we can get going for the Mi 6

I'm using the latest version https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/....1.018_FullManual_v1.0_Android-7.0+-fix01.apk and with the Nexus 6 config, this way the autofocus will work after turning hdr+ off, then back on, and the touch focus works too.

Does anyone use the miuicamera mod? I used a very good version with HDR Pro, but never again did I find a bugless version

thanks, pictures are better than with stock MIUI camera,
i only got FC when trying to use slowmotion.. how to fix this?
is it working on LOS 14, 15?

I haven't notice big difference in low light photos anyway. Not sure which version of GCam I was using, there are plenty of them.
And I had working HDR+ but in return it couldn't focus on objects so photos were really blurry

I have tried this one:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556.apk
That is from Arnova.
Things that don't work are:
Front cam:
- Portrait.
- HDR
Back cam:
- Sphere: force close
- Slow motion.
Working:
- Night sight. You need to exit cam and open it again if you will be taking more than one pic. Otherwise it will keep processing HDR forever.
- Portrait with back cam
- Panorama
-Video recording with back cam at 60 fps
- Video recording with from cam
- Regular pics.
Everything else I have not tried or forgotten. I am on havoc. Btw, night sight... Wow.. excellent.

has anyone got the front camera working for them?

Gcam 6.1.021 not saving front camera photos. Videos and everything works just no photos being saved. Anyone know a fix?

same problem bro

Latest parrot's 7.3 working all ok on android 10, even slowmo.

Tested now, with no XMLs activated, pure stock and so far so good ... also quality is good, better, a lot better than stock cam. Don`t ask pics please, the smartphone I`ve tested is not mine, it`s my father who owns it
---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------
Since I`m trying to improve the photo quality somehow for the smartphone my father use, I`ve searched a bit about what camera module it uses and I`ve found out that is the same module (Sony IMX582 sensor) used on redmi k20 (not pro) and I will test if any Gcam ports for that modules will bring a better experience in photos, compared with the ones I`ve read here....That if my time will allow me to actually do so. If I see anything to be mentioned here I will post.
Meanwhile you could also try these ports https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-ojosehenrick/ and https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-dieflix/ made by k20 users/devs
All the best!

I don't know if it was an option or it appeared, but in full HD 60 video recording in FPS you can select image stabilization. However, this is probably another android bug, because stabilization does not work. Is this android 9 underdeveloped? Is simply android one stripped of its function?

Guys Anyone else facing this big dark circle in camera after clicking Pic in Night Mode using Stock Camera inside a Dark Room with very little light ?
Anyone knows the reason ??

What config did you use?
Thanks!

[GCAM] My modded Gcam for Mi 9T

No, sadly... My advice is to use Gcam only for photos and MIUI camera for videos/slowmo/time lapse at least for now.

Great post! Would you say the Urnyx GCam (or this version of yours) is superior to the xtrme version? Have tried both but can't come to a definitive conclusion, really.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only 6.2 Gcam with all 4 cameras (3+1 front) working well with Mi 9T is the one in OP.

You're correct, this is the only 6.2 GCam working on the Mi 9T. But xtrme's version, although it's based on GCam 6.1, works great too with all 4 cameras. I don't know much about photography so I can't really tell which one is better overall.

Can you reduce NR for main camera as well? Night shots with HDR+ are good, but lack detail. A little grain won't hurt the image IMO.
Grainy noise is better than colour noise

Try changing library in advanced settings. Fit v2 seems to be optimized for Mi 9 that has a very similar main sensor.

It should crash only if wide or Tele camera are active.
Do you know if there is a version with working video/settings and auxiliary cameras support?
I suspect that video profiles for aux cameras are missing/hidden, at least in Global ROM.

Good evening everyone.
I have just joined the forum having just purchased a Xiaomi Mi 9T phone (That's still awaiting delivery)
Anyways, I am just wondering if this google camera mod can be loaded straight onto the phone or does the phone need 'jailbreaking' in some way?
Thanks in advance.

GCam for S10 Lite

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there will be GCam port for S10 Lite? I don't think there will be any development for this phone but a gcam port will be great.
And does anybody know if any port works currently with at least the main and front camera. Can you please share the link?
Thank you.
Update - I got the S10 version working ??

and is there any way to get hdr video recording?

Same here. Half the things are not working on any port at the moment. I am also waiting for a stable gcam.

Do you at least see improvements with the main camera when using gcam in comparison to the stock ones ?

For s20 there is an update, gcam 7.3
Is there 7.3 for s10 lite? Perhaps anyone tried 7.3 from s20, does it work in s10 lite?
---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
I tried 7.3 from here:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/download-google-camera-for-galaxy-s10-lite-gcam-7-3/
It is working except night mode. But neither 7.2 night mode was working to me..
I don't know which is better.

Tried the 7.3, there's no so much difference IMHO in comparison with stock camera. Daytime stock is better ; low light can't see great improvement.
Camera quality isn't so bad, of course if you shoot in low light ambient results are far from the Pixel 4 and latest iPhone.

Okay so i stumbled upon a working build. It's latest stable from Arnova. Everything works out of the box(for pics, haven't tested videos yet) with the latest fw for s10 lite. No tweaking needed.
Here's the link.

I don't know, I've installed Urnyx's 7.2.010 v2.3 version and it works.
It's slightly better. Samsung app makes everything oversharpened and flat for me.

I've found new version which fits me most.
I was looking for a 6.x version that works on our S10 LIte. For me the 7.x mods are ok, but nothing special.
Gcam 6.x was much smoother.
Finally - I've found Fu24's mod.
It's the "Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b6.5-A10.apk" file.
It's full of advanced settings, there are some configs available.
Here you have some samples.
I was using stock config + Pixel 2 XL setting for back camera.
Later I've switched to LGV40 config.
