I'm with you! Wanna buy this smartphone but the fact that it's not have Google camera ported yet stops me from buying.

Hi! I'd like to get Google Camera app with HDR+ on my Xiaomi Mi A1, but the official XDA port doesn't work. I've heard of some people using the app in SD625 devices, and the Mi A1 has the 625 SoC, so in theory it may be possible to port the app... I can't code, so does anyone know something about a download link that works on Mi A1 or can mod the XDA apk to work on the Mi A1?

Almost every ported gcam works on mia1, have you enabled Camera 2 api ? it needs that enabled to work.
Anyway , you find all these ports on this thread

I don't know how to enable the API: please explain me, if you can. Moreover, is it possible to add EIS to the stock camera or at least in Google Camera ported?

If you are rooted you have to add below line in build.prop -
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
after that reboot. you will have working gcam with HDR+. although the slomo option won't work. and you will have EIS too in gcam.

Is it possible to modify build.prop without root? Or is it possible to root the phone without having a PC nearby?

1.No unless you have custom recovery which mia1 doesn't have yet.
2. nope.

i think Google camera hdr+ need a snapdragon 820++ isn't it?

@thewarrior2 It doesn't, it needs a 64bit OS and a snapdragon SoC packing a certain Hexagon DSP

Can anybody post comparison pictures of hdr+ and stock xiaomi camera app? I am really interested in seeing the results before buying this phone.

If you cant find the difference by looking at the samples posted, then you dont need HDR+.
But the fact is the difference is night and day!
Google is primarily known for software, which is what HDR+ is all about.. It uses the camera h/w, takes many pics when you click the shutter button, each in different contrast, and applies some kick-ass machine learning algorithms on every pixel of each groups of pics it took, fuses all of them, to get awsome looking pics.. Thats all it does, and thats all that no other stock camera app does from any other manufacturer. Thats why it beats even iphone.
So basically, google does more through software , what all others achieve through multiple h/w.. Reason why pixel 2 still has single Camera.

I said the redmi note 3 pro has better performance with Google camera than this A1.. That's why i said, i am confused

So... does this camera work after modifying build.prop? Could someone upload a few pics comparing the original camera app to this one?

A Working HDR+ GCam for Whyred AI?

Hello all.
Is there any GCam port that has working front camera HDR+ for Whyred AI version (with 13mp camera)?
Thanks

Try this. As far as I know HDR+ enhanced does not work on front cam. Only HDR+.

No, there is still a bug with front HDR+ and HDR Enhanced.

Couldn’t find a perfect one yet, front cam seems to always have issues, with or without portrait mode (not saving picture, black screen or even FC)

The latest version is not only for 4x
I tested on pie and oreo, works great and fast
also you can manual focus and manual iso

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
gcam pixel3mode for a2 pie rom
with this camera, everything is working except, portrait with hdr.
even slow motion, that is 1st time its working on gcam 6.+
and flashlight is not striking to soon. (on normal photo mode)

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.

Best GCam (6.2.030) for Android Pie (July updates) with fixed FOCUS and Night Sight

Google Camera (GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.1) tested on Android Pie (July updates) with perfect focus for Xiaomi MI A2 Lite.
Bugs found so far:
- Don't disable HDR, because photos will be in lower resolution than 12 MP (for main camera).
- You need to disable HDR for front (selfie) camera
- Photos taken in Portrait and Night Sight mode in front (selfie) camera won't be saved.
- Photobooth.
