That's because the Global RN5 does not have fully working GCam as of yet (Front HDR+ and portrait mode not working), but the RN5Pro (Indian) has got it working (though it's only 5mp in theirs).
However this question has been answered too many times already, you just failed at basic steps on XDA forums, search and read.

[GUIDE][Install]MIUI 10 AI Portrait Mode On Redmi 5 Plus

Discontinued​Tomorrow the Global Public Beta of MIUI 10 8.7.12 releaed for second batch including our Redmi 5 Plus/Note 5 (India). As at time of MIUI 1st release Xiaomi was announced the support of AI Portrait Mode will be added also for single camera smartphone. But unfortunately they never include Redmi 5 Plus in the list of devices getting AI Portrait Mode. From 8.7.12 update the users were hoping that they will get portrait mode but there was nothing except disappointment.
But I've a really big and good news for every Redmi 5 Plus (vince) lover. I made possible to install/enable AI Portrait Mode on Redmi 5 Plus MIUI 10 (tested on 8.7.10/8.7.12)
At now the portrait mode working only on front camera, soon it'll be available for back camera as well
Requirements:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP or Orange Fox Recvoery

Install the Camera2Api enabler magisk zip, or if u won't to root then flash Camera2Api zip via TWRP!

I installed Camera2Api through orange fox recovery enabler...and after installing this mod...gcam stopped working

This mod replaces build.prop so the edit to enable camera2api will be gone and you need to edit it again.

I did everything but my camera is still the same as if nothing happened. No portrait for me. ??

When will the portrait mode on the back camera be available for vince?
The front camera portrait is working like a charm though. Thanks for sharing.

I experimented with removing the Magisk v16, the portrait mode will be removed as well. I hope someday it will work without Magisk v16 being flashed. Because later did I know, I have apps that is not compatible with Magisk v16. Oh well.

No. It doesn't work for back camera. Only the front cam.

2 things:
1. Did you guys are not getting it with your dual camera? You were almost the first ones on getting that. If you mean in the front camera, you should wait for update as you are not on MIUI.
2. Why do you ask on a Vince forum, where you are going to get most likely Vince users?? The best way to find out is trying it as no one here, who make mods, are making it or even testing them on different models. If not, go ahead and ask on the Mi A1 forum.

Can't we have it on custom roms?

Use root explorer, search build.prop and open it in text editor tool and paste this "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" line anywhere, then save & exit.

STABLE GCAM 6.1 - No patch and no root

Hello guys!
I finally found a stable 6.1 gcam for our beloved whyred. My model is Chinese AI red. I am currently using Havoc OS 2.4 (Android 9) without any patch, root or modified kernel. All standard of rom itself.
The apk's author is marlin-ku (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-marlin-ku/)
Notice: You need camera2api enabled!
Recommendations:
Disable 4k video (use full hd)
HDR on the front camera DOES NOT WORK (but if you disable it, everything works)

I do not have the MIUI to test, just Havoc OS, but a person who has tested it and said it did not work.
Either way, feel free to test and post your evaluation to us :good:

You're right, Xiaomi should enable camera2api by default, on MIUI Pie it's just a value on build.prop, nothing more nothing less, it's awfull marketing

I have camera2api enabled but get only forced close.

I'm using MASIK 4.1 Miui pie. Front camera work fine for photos and videos. One bug is superzoom in front camera video with 60fps.
But finally we can use one GCAM TRUE Stable.
Thank you

working like a charm with masik 4.1,thanks

What is your ROM? Kernel? Firmware? Do you have root?

Im on LineageOS 16 with Magisk 19.1 and 9.4.18 firmware installed.

Very interesting. I have the latest version of Havoc OS 2.4, on my Chinese note 5 with stable firmware 10.3.4, with absolutely nothing else (root, patch camera, kernel) and this was the most stable version I've ever installed on my whyred. Everything works, minus HDR on the front camera and the 4k video. Everything else works perfectly here.

https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_4.0.191101.0729build-7.0.009_x9_s9s_mod_0.42.apk
It's not stable and does frees the phone sometimes, but when it works it works fine. I Haven't tried astrophotography

(For Pie)
Hey, Everyone
Recently I was searching for a Google Camera Mod, and I have tried a few. But when some lacked quality others lacked new features, advance settings. And somehow I came across this Google Camera.. ( It's almost stable and it works great )
And all the credit goes to the developer of this mod.
I'm just sharing their app to you guys
Slow motion doesn't work ??
HDR,Night sight,time lapse all works
Link: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ah_xE-3QVpHZgxjgphojsRfREzIY
Some photos taken with this Gcam
https://photos.app.goo.gl/4FKFPmgBdWf55d2u6
Mod 2 : this mod of Gcam works awesome + more stable, with some bugs obviously,
The HDR works even better

And some minor changes. It's still not perfectly stable.
But I have a note 5 pro and this gcam works perfectly and the pictures are incredible

thanks i will try

Have you tried to use Google camera under Android 10.

1, Unlock your bootloader
2, Root your phone
3, Install camera2api
That's it.
I'm sure someone must have made a video on this topic.search on YouTube.
Oh and my device is mi max 1 so the company didn't release miui11 for this device. So i cant test it by my self

Of course I did the points 1 and 2 already.
In Android 9 I just had to flash a zip to enable camera2 api. But in Android 10 it's not working.
What do you mean with install camera2 api. In my understanding it is implemented in Android and has to be enabled in the build.prop. I did it with the flashing.
Still noone with experience in Android 10?

If the method with magisk is not working... Add the camera 2 api command to your build.Prop manually.
I did the same this with my MiA2 running stock os.
Now it works amazing

I tried this as well.
Which lines did you add, or which lines did you alter?
I think the problem is Android 10, in the previous version it was no problem.

Also if your gcam is force closing check if it's the issue of the apk or cam2api via Manuel camera compatibility.
If that didn't help
Check if you have this line in your build prop
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=0
If you do change the "=0" to "=1"
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

Also keep waiting somehow because even used a module for Magisk 20.2 channel Canary but even this version still works on Android 10 Q.

BEST GCAMv7 FOR MI MAX
I tried all the suggested version none of them were stable. Some crashed, some rebooted the device, some had issues with video and almost every gcamv7 was not even opening. I was using DMGC gcam on my MiA2. I randomly tested it on my Helium and it worked flawlessly ! Even astrophotography is working ! It's not that great but it works ! Some ISO issue with video but when you keep the frame rate to auto. It fixes. I even supported the developer for such a masterpiece I am so pleased ! Thanks Dmitry Garvilo aka the_dise.
Just download it!

i got v7.3 to work lagfree, on miui 12 eu stable, the patch "com. qti. chi. override. so" is supposed to be copied to vendor/lib/hw..instead of system/vendor/lib/hw (actually this directory doesn't exist in miui 12 eu stable), if you are using twrp to copy the file, remember to mount vendor first

Go to Settings>Aux cameras and enable wide angle lens. Then there should be a button in the viewfinder to switch lenses.

60fps video does not working for me, any ideas?

Hello, why selfie cam is so slow on taking pics?
