RN5G - Camera - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello, I have a Redmi Note 5 Global, I've rooted it and I'm currently running RRemixOS. I have enabled Camera2 and installed GCam, which works fine for the most part.
As I understand though, GCam or any other camera app I used doesn't utilise the second rear camera at all, correct?
Is there an app or a way to use both rear sensors in a non MiUI environment?

Gcam was made for pixel phones, which have only ever had one rear sensor. Until Google release a pixel with 2 sensors, you won't be able to utilize both on your phone. The secondary sensor on the note 5 is a bit of a gimmick anyway, all you need to do is compare stock photos to gcam photos to realise this.

I undestand that, but there isn't any other app that supports dual camera?
Or maybe a port of the original camera?

MI6 Camera Quality

Hi Guys..
Camera quality of MI6 in outdoor photos is really good,
But in door photos there is lots of noise and sometime it looks like VGA camera,
If we enable camera api2 is there any chance we get better in door photos? I saw one thread here for Google camera but focus is not working so sad.
What you guys think in Oreo update we will get camera api2 officially?
Why this is not implemented during release time by Xiaomi strange?

Xiaomi doesn't want to rebuild their camera app to utilise camera 2 Api so they just turn it off.
If you enable it the miui camera stops working.
Google camera is good. It seems to be being developed slowly to work on most xiaomi devices by BSG.
So far on NisseCool's LOS 15 (cam 2 enabled as default) I have g cam working and HDR+ works if you toggle it off and back to "N6 HDR+ auto" in settings menu.
After closing though you have to go back to settings and turn it off and on again but it definitely is almost working.
Without HDR+ it's a very good camera anyway. Fast shooter.
Not sure if it actually offers any benefits over the MIUI camera though so you might be better off keeping the MIUI one for now and see if Oreo enables 2 api.

The PIP and dual shot modes are strange. Not sure why someone would want to use them but I'm old and probably missing something. The camera does seem to take nice low light pictures. It doesn't say much for One Plus that Google and Nokia camera apps both take better pictures on the OP5 than the official One Plus camera app.
it doesnt work on Colt 7.1.2, any idea?
Could be good for custom ROMs. Works fine apart from PIP but who cares about those modes. I'm running OOS Oreo.
Yeah works very fine on OOS Oreo
Thanks
Quick comparison, both zoomed in until 150%. Checked focus and tried to shoot from the exactly same position.
First one ist OP5, leaked beta 3 (Oreo), camera version 2.512.
Second one is the ported NOKIA 8 camera app. It seems like noise reduction is better applied. Seems better to my eyes.
Working fine in Omni8.1
Low light definitely looks alot better using this app compared to stock.
(Also less watercolor looking images in general)

One Plus improved their camera app a bit in LB4/OB2 but this one and Pixel camera still look better.
There is the difference in numbers between Oneplus Camera app (who use Camera1 API) and Nokia 8 Camera (who use Camera2 API).

Yes it gives an error as action not supported
Camera 2 API gives more control over camera options than Camera 1 API so all of the features in ported camera apps like Nokia and Pixel won't work on the OP5. Camera 2 Api isn't new either. Google introduced it on the Nexus 5X which was several years ago. I doubt if any Android phones that takes good pictures uses Camera 1 Api anymore.

Not true, because API 1 is easier to handle while remaining smaller in size. AP2 is still buggy and supports less features. For reference i would suggest to read the clarification from SultanXDA
Picture in picture and dual mode front camera pic is upside down. Oneplus 5 beta 2.

A Working HDR+ GCam for Whyred AI?

Hello all.
Is there any GCam port that has working front camera HDR+ for Whyred AI version (with 13mp camera)?
Thanks
Try this. As far as I know HDR+ enhanced does not work on front cam. Only HDR+.

No, there is still a bug with front HDR+ and HDR Enhanced.
Couldn’t find a perfect one yet, front cam seems to always have issues, with or without portrait mode (not saving picture, black screen or even FC)

Will flashing Android 10 loose me access to the additional camera lenses?

My cameras are quite important to me
Is there any nice GCam for Android 10 that supports all lenses? Does ANX camera work?
may be you can use and camera

Gcam defaults to secondary camera

After I flashed my phone with lineage os 16,I decided to download Google camera to hopefully get some better quality pictures,but after I installed PGMC_7.0.009_HDR_VERSION13, I tried to take a picture with hdr+, but it didn't save,the picture will save if I turn off hdr+. And then the next day I found out that it was using my secondary camera and not the main 12mp,I have tried multiple versions of gcam already and all of them are either using my secondary camera or just outright crashes(on gcam 7.0+),has anyone encountered this odd issue?
My redmi note 5 pro is the China version,with front 12mp camera.
