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?
Finally after waiting and searching for Gcam 7.x works on MIUI 11. Here it is, not my work but i just want to share it with you guys. hdr+ works i think everything works. Goodluck!

Works with MIUI 10 as well no problems, thanks for the link. The quality for Portrait mode is astonishing!
What's the reason of having gcam if it only shoots in 12 and 5 MP? Even the ones that have 48mp option they shoot 12mp

I think it's an API limit

You should check the quality of a stock camera and Google camera 7, the difference is big. Megapixels has nothing to do with that but the software algorithm does. Gcam has awesome algorithm. And it's 12 and 9 MP by the way.

This gcam is the first one I realli notice a difference from stock. In others, I felt that only night sight was better, but this one is good

Those are kinda "fake" 48mp. The 12mp are better with gcam. It's unnecessary to use more megapixels.

Even with good Algorithm, 48 to 12 is a big cap :\

Thank you so much for these recommended settings, I will definitively try it out!
What about libaries? In version 6.2 it was recommended to switch from standard google libs to custom libs. Is it ok to go with standard google libs on version 7.0?
Slow Motion not working.

Not for me. I think it should turn on even when you have phone laying on table.
Do you guys also notice that this camera is more zoomed in than what you get on the stock camera with the main 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.
Hi.
I have a Redmi Note 8 Pro bought last month, it is coral orange, it has the new front camera, Samsung s5k3t2.
With the camera MGC_3.2.045_TlnNeun_V1.0_Wyroczen_Remosaic.apk on the new begonia (coral orange) the front camera works on MIUI 12 (with the stock it also works).
In AOSP roms I can't find any camera app in which the front camera works. All or are closed when opening the app or the front camera does not appear or you cannot choose.
Do you know of any app in which the front camera s5k3t2 works in AOSP?
Thank you.
