As everyone was asking for some guides and fixes of the Google Camera on our Mi Note 3 device, I decided to help you out with a guide and all necessary resources to get it working.
First of all, for people new to Google Camera, follow @dimi89 's guide as an introduction to all processes needed to achieve a working camera port.
To make it simple, you need to:
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP or boot it through fastboot (there are plenty of guides here)
Install Magisk systemless root through TWRP recovery
Flash my fixes module below to enable Camera 2 API and make front camera working as desired
Install the best APK for you from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Be happy
Until now, we had it working but some features like Portrait mode, front camera HDR+ and portrait, plus front camera flash were missing.
With the help of @defcomg I managed to make a Magisk Module as a bundle that does both enabling Camera2API and adds necessary libs to fix the camera. You can download it below.
As per the apk of the GCam on your device, I recommend latest Arnova8G2 version. You can also find it at the bottom of this post. It is great and does not require any other settings after you apply the fix in Magisk.
Downloads here:
-Camera2API, Portrait mode + HDR on front camera fix (MAGISK MODULE) - https://mega.nz/#!M5gjSQxJ!K5Q4XmdRimI_x2xpOWexHR52qUi5sklOV7SVhWWo9RE
-Stable and autoconfig GCam - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...eCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
For any other questions, feel free to ask me.
IMPORTANT!! The fix for front cam may not work with all ROMs. It was tested on the following:
XIAOMI.EU Stable 9.5.4.0
XIAOMI.EU Stable 9.2.x.x
XIAOMI.EU Developer 8.3.22
Lineage OS
AOSP Extended
You can test it on your device on your own risk. If it does not work you can delete module from magisk.
Credits to @defcomg for the help with the library, @WebDingo for the magisk module and @Arnova8G2 for the amazing work with all GCam ports. Also crediting other developers for their great additions to this community.
Enjoy!
Great job
Great job Gcam now works very well, the only thing I noticed is that is laggy at times in portrait mode. Is it normal?
will it work on my mi5s?
Thank you, its working! Mi Note 3 xiaomi.eu 9.5.4.0

Thanksss. With arnova v6 (and this beta) works fine. So I've a problem but...you have 60 FPS video? For me is ever 30 FPS and I search in every part of the web the way to have got 60 FPS in full hd. For me is very important. If you know a way, please tell me (also use another new custom ROM). Thanks

Code:
I am not responsible for any damage to your device!
Use this mod at your own risk!
THIS MOD ONLY WORKS FOR S5KGM1 SENSOR WHICH IS USED IN NOTE 7S/GLOBAL VARIANT
Steps:
1) Flash 240_s5kgm1_lavender.zip using recovery, MOUNT VENDOR BEFORE FLASHING
2) To use 240 fps slow mo, use preferred GCAM, go to slow mo, click on 1/4(in bottom left), it will switch to 1/8.
3) Enjoy! :laugh:
Link: 240_s5kgm1_lavender.zip
Preferred GCAM: HyperCam_E3.0_P.apk
I was a tester this mod is insane. Thanks for your hard work!
Is it working on AOSP roms or only in MIUI?
It works, thanks!
Btw there are separate versions of hypercam for android 9 and 10 on celsoazavado page and config files dedicated for our device
Thank you so much for that, it worked.

EvoX official already supports slow motion at 240fps out of the box with default gcam. So no need of flashing this mod.
Development regarding note 7 pro(Violet)
Dude I am appreciating your work and now same problem applies to note 7 pro as well it has maximum capability of 480fps but still it is recording in 120fps. So please help for note 7 pro to unlock atleast 240fps!
I tried it with multiple gcams, including preferred one and various 7.2, 6.2 and 6.1 versions. 120fps works fine, when I turn to 240 it just crashes. I think the issue is that I have Android 10. MIUI version: 20.3.26 beta
UPD. Got MIUI update 20.5.14, tried again. My best try: trCamera_REBORN_V5_deep_end_final.
1/4 / 1/8 switch works, but has no effect (both options do 1/4)
Thank you for your response

Don't works on MIUI 11
I test this mod on MIUI 10 and works perfectly but when I try to install it on MIUI 11 it doesn't works and breaks stock cam. Can you fix it ? Maybe only works with oldcam blobs
If anyone managed to use this mod, please write down specific ROM and GCam mod you've used it with.
AIDA64 says I have S5KGM1 sensor.
Rn7 with miui 12 xiaomi eu weekly 20.7.30
FC when move from 1\4 slowmo to 1\8 so isn't working here. I try with your suggested cam and with last parrot gcam with same result
Gcam is crashing after flashing this zip
no mirrors found???
redmi Note 7, ReloadedOS 20200809, newest gcam from parrot043 works fine, but the focus is either too close or too far when in 240fps and I have to move to get the thing I'm filming in focus
I wanna make me sure: Redmi Note 7 Global = Just Redmi Note 7, yeah?
Hello,
Someone on Reddit suggested I should ask my question on here, so here I am.
Yesterday I received my Redmi K30 from China. It was tricky to buy this one, because I live in the Netherlands, but I took a chance and bought it.
Everything works properly BUT the camera. The front facing camera's work, but the rear 64M doesn't. I keep getting an error, which says it can't connect with my camera. Or it simply freezes and there's no option to flip from front to rear camera. Other things that I tried are: clear camera cache, reboot, change app permissions.
Someone suggested it could be the Global Rom which was flashed (this is a Chinese Version with Global Rom). It seems that Global Roms can intervene with the original camera.
Is this something I (I'm not technical at all) can change and will this work? I'm afraid if I will change to much in the settings, that I can't return it when it's still not working.
Or should I just return this phone and wait for the Global Version?
Thanks for your help!

Hello , sorry , i have a questions for you, do you have enabled Band 20 LTE ( 800 mhz ) Thank you !
Never heard of this failure. I also got mine from China and there is no Global Rom availible. There is the Xiaomi.eu Rom, this not officail. If your Phone is unlocked, you can look on the Xiaomi.eu Thread and try to install it. On the lateste MIUI12 everything works like a charm
i also have this problem.. I just recieved my phone today... cant use 64mp cam and bokeh
I am also seeing this issue. I received my K30 5G on the 23rd and only parts of the camera is work. Issues I'm seeing:
If I try to take a picture while on photo mode, the camera app crashes regardless of if I am using the front or back camera.
If I try to select `64M` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to select `Slow Motion` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to select `Pro` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to use the 0.6 zoom function on the photo mode the camera app freezes
This seems to be the only issue I am seeing with this phone. It's a shame because its a great phone.
Phone Details:
MIUI Version: MIUI Global 11.1.0 | Stable 11.1.0.16 (QGIINXM)
Android Version: 10 QKQ1.191222.002
Does anyone have a device where the camera works normally? Holding off on buying one since reading this thread
I'm having the same issue with the camera of my Redmi K30. Do you know if the new Rom on xiomi.eu solves the problem? Thks for your help
This problem is a bug of the fake Global ROM for this phone, with original chinese/english ROM or Xiaomi.eu there is no issues.
Have the same problem for now I've just installed Google camera that works ok . But non wide and 64 main camera only 5 mega px macro camera is working
When I install a camera info app is only showing me 2 cameras 5 mega pixel each

My k30 5G is on the way, dont have it yet. But all people report the same problem, that is fixed when change the ROM.
Google's camera improves but doesn't solve the issue. Has someone already changed the rom and fixed the problem ?

If you have the global ROM your phone is already unlock .
When you power those it's say wonlock?
If yes you can skip unlock bootloader.
And just instal twrp and flash Xiaomi EU Rom
If not booting after just use this : fastboot -w
Power off and is on after you can update from you phone
Thanks for you help. I will try ...

Hi! Where is the ROM that is suggested in this case? I am from Italy and bought this phone on aliexpress, experiencing the same issue. It is my first xiaomi phone so I'm not sure where to get the specific rom needed in this case.
Thanks to anyone who will help!
Install Adb Xiaomi https://www.xiaomidriversdownload.c...vcnkvbGF0ZXN0X3VzYl9kcml2ZXJfd2luZG93cy56aXA=
Unlock first bootloader if necessary
( If your phone already say's unlocked when you boot up just skip
https://en.miui.com/unlock/
Install TWRP via Fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot recovery
FORMAT /data partition (NEVER wipe System or Persist!)
Copy ROM to the internal storage
Otg is working whit twrp
Install ROM via twrp
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...MK305G_V11.1.20.0.QGICNXM_v11-10.zip/download
If you are in boot loop to twrp
Just use fasboot -w
Power off and on
After that you can update without losing data from updater in your phone.
Maybe you will need to update 2 or 3 time before having the latest software .
That will be done automatically so just sit and relax.
.the update will be done in twrp so just accept and wait
Power of power on
Done
Thank you!!
Hi,
Few of you mentioned Global or English ROM, is that directly from Mi officially? Is so, could anyone please share a link.
The only thing I found is xiaomi.eu which is not the official.
Mine is K30i 5G which is a 48M camera that Camera does not work with xiaomi.eu unfortunately.
Many thanks

I have the same problem with camera app in my redmi K30 5G installing rom MIUI EU 12.5.7.0
I think the reason for this is because the global variant has a different sensor for the front cam. I read somewhere before that I need to flash something to fix this. How do I do this exactly?
Do you have problems in stock rom? That's new.
If you are talking about custom roms you only need the recovery (and you already have it because you have needed it to install the rom).
Check the pixel experience thread because the other day I put the file you need.

I'm looking now how to install a custom recovery. Do I just have to flash only the file you linked and nothing else? Also, I don't have a problem with my stock rom.
Flash evolution x Rom there you have gcam working fine and patch for global version. I have all this and front camera looking so much better that miui.

Is there a custom rom similar to miui and that also fixes all the gcam-related problems? I don't want to ditch miui because I really like it because of features like dual apps, second space, app locker, native scrolling screenshot, etc.
