How to get HDR+ in GCam for selfie cam? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

I've been using GCam on my Mi5S with great success, taking some incredibly photos with the back camera, but I'm certain the selfie/front camera isn't making use of HDR+.
Has anyone managed to get it working? I can't get the option to show up when I switch to selfie mode, and the dynamic range is way too low and noise too high for HDR+ to be activating.

It requires android 8.1 and up. Almost all gcam modded app works on our device.

Oh what the. But... I definitely had HDR+ working on my GS7 on both front and back cameras, both on Nougat and Oreo.
So if I flash an 8.1 ROM on my Mi5S, I should be able to activate HDR+ on the selfie camera?

Update: Flashed LOS 15.1 but HDR+ still doesn't work on front cam.
Anyone else got any suggestions?

What version of gcam did you used? Almost all gcam mod works on our device.You can try arnova's or tolyang's. Those versions works well with hdr+ on front.

Thanks for your reply. Version I'm using is GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta2.apk.
Is there a different one that's recommended? Or can I change some settings to activate it?

Try this one.

Sorry for delay. For some reason I didn't get notified of your reply
Tried this one; it's taking photos, but not applying HDR+, even with Enhanced on.
Is it working for you?

[Request] Port Oxygen OS Camera from 5T for Custom ROM

Just a humble request to all who have knowledge to port apps.
Please port the oxygen os camera from OnePlus 5T for Custom ROMs.
The already ported camera is not working in 5T due to differences in camera lenses.
I know many of you will saying use Google Camera it is better than the Oxygen OS, so i agree with you but none of the google cam is also working fine in 5T.
Some google cam has pinkish images, some has broken front cam, some has black screen on front cam, some doesn't has HDRa in rear and front and some has camera crash ui error so, some doesn't have touch to focus ability.
I saw in Oneplus 5 forum, the ported camera is working fine with Portrait mode even front camera is also working. But that camera is not working in OP5T.
You again requesting here to port Oxygen OS camera from OnePlus5T for custom ROMs.
Note: Please do not compare google camera with Oxygen OS as you already know google cam is not stable enough in OP5T.
Just hoping for the best.
Thanks.
I'd like that as well ! The only reason why I'm keeping OOS is because of the camera (and the portrait mode that I use a lot) but as soon as it's ported I'll change
I also want this port. Hope some dev soon port this.

Yeah with the OnePlus 5T. It was working fine on the 1st day but was severely crashing on the next. I take back my recommendation on this. Sorry. I believe there was no portrait mode.

U can get portrait mode on the 5T with Google mod camera. I've used it on at least 4 ROMs and it worked flawlessly and also has front facing portrait which OnePlus cam does not have. I had HDR, HDR+, front and rear portrait, burst, lens blur, everything. Read up a little about the gcam mod and get it working. It's well worth it and portrait mode works great.

Alright so this is by my far my favorite one and the Urikill versions have been for awhile. Now, others work, u just have to play with settings. First off, you have to flash this for front camera portrait mode fix and HDR in front can to get It working. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...sk-front-camera-fix-oreo-4MP-op5-5t-v1.1.zip. There's other methods to besides this zip but this is the easiest way for me. Second, here is the camera I use, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.1.018_Urikill_vXXII.apk. I will attach some screenshots of my settings, but again most of these can be tweaked and changed to your liking. I have HDR working for front cam in portrait mode. Regular front cam doesn't work, but you don't need it because portrait mode front cam takes the blur photo and regular, both HDR. Also, I have HDR working on regular can as well. Regular HDR and HDR+ enhanced if needed.
I stress again, that many of the camera apks work, this is just my favorite and right for me. I also stress again that many of the settings can be tweaked and changed to your liking. If it breaks something, switch it back. You have to play, and play, and play. I did for a long time until I found the perfect setup for me and all things working. Anything there is not a screenshot of is default. Hope you get it working. If you have trouble or questions the original Google cam mod thread, and there is also one specifically for the 5T has a lot of answers and help, that's where I got it. Also this page, has all the info u need off the most part, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk195. This is probably the most help I can offer, lol.

So, here is the conclusion... Front cam not working ... The only way to work with front cam is portrait mode... And that's the thing I don't want.
Thank you for posting your comment and you proved it us right as Google cam never be compare with Oxygen OS camera untill google cam get fix.

U need root for the perfect version. U need to install Armova Magisk Fix v2.2 and savitars Colorfix (optional) for better GCam experience.. After installing these try Arnova latest Google Camera port.

Yea. Because thats not the latest OP6 camera. Thats old one.
The update is out for the OP6 (which includes the front cam portrait mode) and i am sure that someone will make it work for our OP5T. Just wait.

Poor video & picture quality

Took a few videos using this phone at my sons birthday earlier. Very disappointed at the quality. Is there particular settings I should be using when taking videos? Or is there a better app to use? Pictures are good but not brilliant. So maybe my settings are not set correctly. Thanks in advance.

It is an app, actually many apps. Gcam is the Google's Pixel camera port and it works great on Android 8.1 Oreo. Not so much on Pie though, on Pie Xiaomi broke the focus and none of the gcams can properly focus. So if you're on Pie, don't bother, it won't be worthy of your time. If you're on Oreo, go to guides section and find guides about "camera 2 API" or "cam2API". Follow them to the letter then sideload gcam apk. :good:

Forgot about that, you're right!
This is beyond strange, still working for me. Try to take another picture with front camera and check like a minute later if the pic is showing in your gallery. It takes a bit for our A2 to proceed the selfie. If it's still not working idk?

Still no luck. Can take picture in normal mode, not in hdr. Have you changed any settings, developer settings?
Does the focus on Android Pie work?
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
On my phone it won't even install, even though I have camera2 api. Other GCam's (version 5 and 6) do work.
It is this one, right? GCam_7.0.009_A_005.apk

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.

GCam for S10 Lite

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there will be GCam port for S10 Lite? I don't think there will be any development for this phone but a gcam port will be great.
And does anybody know if any port works currently with at least the main and front camera. Can you please share the link?
Thank you.
Update - I got the S10 version working ??

For s20 there is an update, gcam 7.3
Is there 7.3 for s10 lite? Perhaps anyone tried 7.3 from s20, does it work in s10 lite?
---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
I tried 7.3 from here:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/download-google-camera-for-galaxy-s10-lite-gcam-7-3/
It is working except night mode. But neither 7.2 night mode was working to me..
I don't know which is better.
Tried the 7.3, there's no so much difference IMHO in comparison with stock camera. Daytime stock is better ; low light can't see great improvement.
Camera quality isn't so bad, of course if you shoot in low light ambient results are far from the Pixel 4 and latest iPhone.
Okay so i stumbled upon a working build. It's latest stable from Arnova. Everything works out of the box(for pics, haven't tested videos yet) with the latest fw for s10 lite. No tweaking needed.
Here's the link.

I don't know, I've installed Urnyx's 7.2.010 v2.3 version and it works.
It's slightly better. Samsung app makes everything oversharpened and flat for me.
I've found new version which fits me most.
I was looking for a 6.x version that works on our S10 LIte. For me the 7.x mods are ok, but nothing special.
Gcam 6.x was much smoother.
Finally - I've found Fu24's mod.
It's the "Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b6.5-A10.apk" file.
It's full of advanced settings, there are some configs available.
Here you have some samples.
I was using stock config + Pixel 2 XL setting for back camera.
Later I've switched to LGV40 config.
