Hi, I re-enabled the camera2 API after the latest security patch released a couple of days ago and started playing around again with the various Google Camera ports to find the best one(s). Comparing photos between the stock camera app and the ones with Google Camera I can't find big differences anymore.
Differences were HUGE before the update, both on details and on general quality (especially in low-light environments). Now the quality of the stock camera (com.android.camera version 2.0) seems to be very near to the Google Camera. Maybe is it using camera2 API, if available? Or am I crazy?

I think you're crazy Stock app doesn't use Cam2API. Your issue might be related to focus issues on Gcam. Try 16:9 on Photo Mode then take a photo, so you might see the difference :good:

No man, the focus issue unfortunately persists I've decided to delete root and use the pure stock android for a while.

Which version google camera do you use?
I use arnova 8.3b1 and arthur's latest version.

To be honest, I've tried to get the OTA and install it through Magisk, as described in many guides, but it didn't work (boot loop), so I did a factory reset and reinstalled Camera2 with this guide, with the hope to avoid this problem with the next OTA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-camera2-api-t3851414

Have you installed it on PIE rom?
The latest version is not only for 4x

I tried it on pie...
1. Focus is very bad working.
2. Back camera takes monochrom. photos.
Gcams updated in the first post.
I have been testing some ports, and now, with Android PIE the best for me is:
Gcam-6.1-minimal-test.apk (Tolyan009, 2019-01-29, android 9+, changelog)
In advance options (or similar, i have the mobile in spanish) u should disable portrait zoom, and active enchanced HDR. I use the "normal" GCam mode in large range photos, and it´s focused, when the camera cant focus i use the portrait mode (wihout de artificial zoom) and the tap focus is working aceptably. Night mode "works", not as it should, sometimes it´s in focus, sometimes not. I think i probed about the last 15 or 20 ports of GCam and been trying to change BSG configurations but i don´t find a better results than this "minimal" port.
Hope it be helpfully.

You havent right. The first post contains focus working gcams...
well, have been testing most modded gcams here : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
and unfortunately the reality is,
- focus is broken since our device got PIE. on oreo, it was perfect, photo shoot&forget... all sharp photos, no blurriness
(any betatesters reading here? maybe xiaomi will have a reason to ignore this issue because first root is needed to enable camera2api before but this focus issue becomes really irritating as 3 OTA's arrived after PIE)
- other methods mentioned here are all temporary: switching to portrait mode and then photo mode , or changing resolution to 16:9...
cameras updated in the first post.
did you use all this? (when enabling camera2 api, on mi a2 forums, they said they had problems in night mode, when not using all this setprops)
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.camera.stats.test 5
setprop persist.vendor.camera.stats.test 5

Yep focus does not work, tried at night.
With original camera it does, only gcam problem i think.
I have tested a bunch of GCam mods and found that best results come with versions optimized for Nokia 7 Plus - N7P.
Working ver. 6 GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.3 can be downloaded from here: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.3.apk
Most of the stuff that I tested works - slefie cam with HDR does not work though.

hi, sorry for my stupid question.
i just want to know, can i install gcam mod on realme 3?
thank for the answer
I've heard that this version from Arnova8G2 works:
- MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun_2.apk
You need to load this config: Realme_3_Config.xml (guide: how to load config files).
I don't have this phone, so I don't know if it comes with the camera2 api enabled. If it's disabled, you have to enable it first. I'm sure you can find a guide by searching online.
You can also find more apks from Arnova8G2 on this page and follow his thread here on XDA.

I was testing 1.3c version on my new phone, but it was fail taking photo.
Only panorama and video were operating.
But, today I installed the configs file and now camera is fully operating.
After first HDR tests and quick analysis stock camera render better (Chroma boost disabled, not needed!).
(I use a standardized position from my seat to a sunny open door in the middle of the room. )
I already tested panorama in outside situation and it is GREAT, much better than stock.
Not tested night and video.
Overall comment: This phone is a top gun. No need to spend million.
Just waiting for usable root.
but whenever i click on the video button it closes the app

Good news, I have found a working config for the latest update. You first have to download the apk from

This is the apk called "fu24: MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_4lens_V1.3.030119.0645-02j.apk". Then use these configs I attached.

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

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.

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.
Tryed to search to see if there is a gcam app yet...came up empty I think it would help the camera out a lil.s.not that it horrible.but just enjoy gcam for some reason!

Just leaving my comment here so i hear if there is any activity here, I tried all of the BSG and urlyk builds but viewfinder freezes after 3 seconds. Bummer, camera is really great, but falls apart in night shots
Yes same experience here. viewfinder freezes after 3 seconds. tried almost 20 different gcam from different modders. it just freezes. hopefully soon we see the working one.
Same here hopefully someone figures out how to stop it from freezing!
Try selecting Session of photo modes as EISv3/61448 or even EISv2/61444 for main lens, it might work. Try on other lenses too see if works. Of course, use a GCam that has this option, like BSG.
This works on A52s which is a new Samsung phone with similar issues as Z fold 3, such as GCam viewfinder freezing and camera not working at all while bootloader is unlocked.
Maybe these two issues regarding cameras are related!

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't work - tried both session modes.
The search continues...
It is possible that it doesn't work because of proprietary code for the under screen camera that Samsung has might just break any other app.
Don't quote me here, as I'm still looking into the whole camera situation, but I do know that there is specific code implemented for the USC in order to make photos look acceptable with a pixel layer over it.
OK, so far the only one I can get to work is the gcam go versions like https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1529/
But they are have basically no features worth installing for. But they don't freeze, so I guess it would be a starting point...
