[DISCUSSION] What Google Camera are you guys using? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu

Since the old thread aren't responsive anymore, here's a new thread. You can discuss and share anything about Google Camera for Redmi 5 Plus, including the version you're using, the bugs, the fixes or anything else.
Btw I'm currently using back.rider's latest Google Camera. It works pretty well on my device.
Download: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1_defaultjpg.apk
Bugs: Photobooth aren't working, front portrait aren't working, HDR+ and HDR+ enhanced aren't working.
Fixes: Idk if there's any fix for our device, but if there's anyone capable of making a fix by editing the .lib file, that would be good too.
Hopefully everyone can contribute something in this thread.

Saneklic one has green tint on the rear camera, especially if u tap the shutter rapidly. You'll see green tint bug in the photo viewer. :crying:
I think that the green tint bug happens on all gcam version 5.1, no matter who's the developer. I tested gcams from almost all developers but none really fixes the green tint bug.
However, changing to gcam version 6.1 does make a difference. There's no more green tint bug, but the front HDR+ and portrait mode won't work (until the future update from xiaomi fixes it or any developer edit the lib file in the system folder). At least, it's good for daily use

I'm using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk after playing around with saneklic and arthur versions, Arnova is the best.

Strange i never had any green tint

On havoc 2.1 pie, never had any green tint, all functions are working.

Weird, bcs any gcam version 5.1 that I use I'm using resulted in this.

make any small change in the app settings, for example toggle camera sound or save location button and the tint will go away. its an quite a common issue and easily fixable.

Nope, still doesn't work. Changing the settings didn't fix the problem. Is it just me or anyone else experience the same thing? This is really weird and I'm looking forward for a fix.

Use san1ty's GCam 6.1.021 for potter. Works flawlessly except for front cam HDR (omnivision).

damn im late but it happens to me only with hdr+ off. I found a version that has all features working, with night sight on android Q(10) so if anyone is interested ill post the link.

Hello
Is there any version of gcam that won't require gapps or microg installed?

[19/3/19] Working Gcam For Pie!

This thread is aimed to be as simple as possible.
I found 2 apks that worked for me. I created this thread because I'm sick of scrolling through the comments on which one works, and which one doesn't. So, here it is.
*NOTES* All Pixel Gcam mods will have autofocus issues. These don't have any quality degradation from my testings.
1. @fu24 Pixel 2 Gcam v.5.2.025-Final - Everything works. But I recommend to use this only for the front camera.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-17f.apk
2. @cstark27 Pixel 3 Gcam P3v10.1 - This is the best in terms of focus hunting, when taking pics, don't tap to focus. Let the app hunt for focus until it's clear. If it won't focus on the object, just switch between portrait and normal mode. Sometimes the pic comes out a bit soft. I'd recommend you to take multiple pics and select the clearest one. Thanks to @Sonudbm for mentioning this apk. The front camera still doesn't work.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/P3v10.1_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk
I will update this thread whenever there's a better version(s).
Feel free to leave any comments.

Raw capture gives you vastly more detail than jpeg (or JPG), but with the cost of lower picture quality, it can be fixed by editing the photos. I'd recommend the 1st one, if you don't want all the flashy features. If you night sight mode as well, install the 2nd one along side.

Same here :/
Neither of these updates fix the focus issue with it endlessly refocussing. Does anyone know what the actual issue is with the Mi A1 and Pie? Is a Dev looking into this specifically. This is the only way it'll get fixed. Seems like no one knows it's an issue?
Sorry to say this, but both cameras have focus issues..
Does any one know Whether there is a 9.0 pie custom rom where no focus issue on GCam.
(i won't bother about green tint issue though)
I am still on 8.1 until we get something that works perfectly, do I need to unlock my bootloader and install the Camera 2 API again or that is not necessary?
Sorry to break it to all of you, but I really personally think that this autofocus issue is device dependent. I would recommend you to try random Gcam apks from that site (that's what I did). I think every device would have different apks that works for them.

Hello people!!
There is no GCAM Port of pixel 3 (the one with night mode) that fully works on PIE on MI A1. I have tested every recent version of every developer on the page of Celso Azevedo. In almost every version, all things work, except for portrait mode with front camera (green tint present when HDR enable) This is not what we want, because there is a huge difference between portrait with or without HDR.
The only one version that I find that it is working on portrait with HDR is one for pixel 2 (it hasn´t got night mode) from ARNOVA. The version is: gcam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-v8.3b1.apk. This is my actual camera now.
I hope some developer could accomplish the same but with pixel 3 gcam mod.
Greetings !!!!

Alternative Google Camera 6.1 for MI A2 Lite

Was trying out different Gcam versions and stumbled across this one, which seems to work perfectly on my A2 Lite with the January security patch!
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1_defaultjpg.apk
Motion Photos, Night Sight, Hdr+, everything seems to work, but your mileage may vary!
Update- Front camera Night Sight doesn't seem to take a photo, but also doesn't crash the app
Update- This version of Gcam won't save photos taken with HDR+ enabled. They process forever. Makes this GCam version not very useful, but it's the best one for the A2 Lite I've been able to find.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_v.5.1.0.18_mod_v.3.4.17.apk
This is 5.1.0.18 everything is working also hdr+ front camera(and portrait)is working

Thank you! This is great! I just wish it had night sight too, but it looks like there aren't any fully functional Gcam 6.x ports yet
What's the point of opening a new thread for this? You mentioned that it doesn't work in your edits. Why would you share it here before even testing the app?

Hi! I'm sorry for making a post in a weird or wrong way, I'm new to XDA and was unsure of where/how else to post it.
It does mostly work. Hdr works well on rear camera, but not front camera. Night Sight works but can randomly be iffy. Blur and other modes work. It's very possible that just changing some of the settings may iron out some of the bugs, I'll keep experimenting with it.
It's also not that I didn't test it, there were just certain settings and combinations of features I didn't try. I made a post because it was working relatively well and I got excited to share it with other people who may benefit from it. I'm not going to test every feature or settings combination, but other people should know about it so they can try it, at least! I just updated my post with the bugs/broken features I found!
With that said, if you think this is something that shouldn't be here, and should be deleted, a comment on a different thread, etc, how can I delete/move it?
Thank you and I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

After Samsung update today, Gcam stopped working????

Hi,
For some reason, got an update from samsung this morning, latest One UI 2.5.
After updating my Gcam stopped working, tried several different apps but
still stops and closes when opened. Any ideas???

That's a little concerning. Can you download Camera2 API Probe from the Play store and see if the camera still supports RAW capture?
Also try this specific gcam to see if it works for you https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/NGCam_7.4.104-v1.4_snapcam.apk

So I tried Hypercam. When I switched to the telephoto it completed crashed. Wipe data and got everything back. Front-facing camera just hangs.
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying different GCam versions. Some partially worked, namely some HyperCam versions and TrCamera versions. Couldn't seem to get the front camera working on any versions, however. No matter what RAW and Viewfinder format I chose, the front camera would either hang, or cause the app to crash. I rooted through as many settings as I could think to change around to get the front camera working, but nothing was working for me. So I would imagine that the versions that are closing immediately may have some sort of front camera configuration that is now not playing nice after the 2.5 update.
Definitely very strange, hoping a dev can nail this down, because I have been trying to use Samsung's camera app and, boy it's just not comparable to GCam, especially the front camera.

Looks like both those IDs on the update don't allow RAW capture. That must be part of the problem. Do you know if it is fixable?

[MAGISK] OnePlus Camera for ROMs without it

This is my first time making a module, so it's probably held together with tape compared to other modules made by competent people.
A simple module, just installs OPCam and needed dependencies. I've only tested this on the Derp A12 ROM, and it works fine.
Macro mode doesn't show up, I've no idea why, if you do, let me know and I'll update it.
DOWNLOAD:​
opcam.zip
drive.google.com
CREDITS:​@topjohnwu
XTENDED XR-vX.r team as I pretty much just looked through their ROM to see what files they used to get OPCam working.
The app seems to crash when I open the video function, and only when using the normal camera.
It works fine with the selfie camera but the second I switch the app disappears.
Using latest derp. Any advice?

I switched back to oxygen because I was missing some features derp didn't offer, but since you've got the same issue you should be able to test it yourself.
Thanks,
But is it possible to make a zip that is flashable from recovery instead?
Thanks a lot, this is working well. Portrait mode works great as well. I prefer GP over the OOS Gallery app so I disabled it, but everything works great, just had one question. Is this version latest for the 7tpro?
