Do you have any sample photos?
In theory, this let us use aosp roms but still enjoy xiaomi images processing ie same quality photos as stock?
Thkans a lot! I've flashed it on Pixel Experience rom and everything went fine. Appart from a few freezes in portrait mode, I had no bugs so far. :good:
Works perfect on lineage-16.0-20190109 with MiPa Kernel [19.01.19] - no freezes here

Not as easy unfortunately. The camera HAL, which in stock ROMs use to be always better, normally decreases quality on photos for custom ROMs not based on stock.
Also the custom camera blobs used on custom ROMs use to have less quality.
In any case not sure how much this facts still apply since Treble integration.
To summary: i didn't do a comparison between stock and custom ROMs using miuicam but i did with both using gcam, same conditions and parameters, results were the same/very similar.

Thanks, do you experience that cameras are "snappy"? Are they crashing under some circumstances or are there lots of features that doesn't work?
Crashes when I try to take a picture or video on Pixel Experience GSI Rom.
Does it benefit from using dual camera? Is there 2x optical zoom option using second camera?
Everything work perfect in Pixel Experience. Bye gcam
I used it with LineageOS. It worked fine, but my QR scanner doesn't find the camera as it tries to open the original Snap camera app, which isn't able to connect to the camera anymore.

Yes. It utilizes both camera's. 2x optical zoom works. And portrait mode also works.
I did have a bit of a bug with the second camera freezing, causing the app to crash when 2x optical or portrait was selected. But that was fixed after a reboot of my phone.
I am running Pixel Experience.

I got this solved with the help of the developer in the Telegram group. This is how: I opened the file ANXCameraMagisk_5.OldShamefulAnt.zip and deleted the lib folder in /system in the zip on my PC (it didn't work on my phone), reflashed it in Magisk and now the stock camera works again and so does the external QR code reader. Also the Miui Camera kept working after a short glitch when I tried the first time.

Same here. So I use Gcam for pics and the miui ported cam for video.
Anyone got it working on a GSI rom?
I can make short videos. And change all settings. But as soon as I try to take a picture, the app crashes to homescreen.

Rom in question
Do continuous shootings work? One thing wich is holding me back from switching to AOSP Roms. Every Mod i tried so far can just make a picture for each press of the button but not shoot until i release the button

hi all, since i change to aosp base custom nougat. There is a very big chance the phone "cannot connect to camera". When this happen, the phone will heat up and drain the battery. I think there is a kernel error and cause camera running but unable to show anything on screen. Force close wasn't help to fix this , only reboot.
I always use bacon camera because it come with real manual mode. And the only app with it. I doubt the manual mode(api level) in the app conflict with kernel .
Now i uninstall it and use other app with standard function to keep track if Bacon camera is the root cause of this error.

Any clues? I'm experiencing the same problem, and changing rom and/or kernel does not seem to fix it. I'm using bacon camera too, and actually started considering the possibility of it being the problem. Have you discovered something about it?

Use moto camera and adjust build.prop to get the manual mode . Bacon camera is not zuk rom friendly
This happened to me while using HDR in Bacon Camera in RR 5.8.4 with Darkmoon Kernel. In my case the system detected no camera at all. Not even AIDA64 showed anything. The only possible solution is to clean reflash of whatever ROM you want (Dirty Flashing doesn't work). I tried the Bacon again on AEX but same problem after sometime. The only equivalent (better actually) I found to Bacon Camera and all its glories is the Snap Camera v8.6.0 (latest). Don't bother if it shows as gallery while installing. Best Manual Camera app I've used by far. Plus it can utilize the legacy mode of Camera2api available on our device. I'm not talking about the snapdragon camera app. This is different. It's package name is -com.marginz.snap-.

Snap camera is not a bad app. But I really don't know how to activate manual mode for this app. The only app which support manual mode and working with no bug is moto camera.

I think for anything more than manual focusing we need Camera2api. Some apps like the Moto Camera or Even Footej support Manual Modes but as far as I've tested them, the manual adjustment is not that accurate (the iso adjustment has little to no effect on the pic). However in the Image Details, the iso is marked to what we set, so many are fooled. I'm a Hobbyist Photographer and have a Good Camera so I have no requirements to take manual photos on my phone. As far as I'm concerned the Snap Camera HDR capture is the best out there yet for our phone and that's all i require out of the above average sensors in our phone. Still if you want Manual Control of Exposure and ISO, try to achieve with post production, either using snapseed or Photo Editor(The Photoshop equivalent in Android, -com.iudesk.android.photo.editor-). Honestly You won't find the difference until you scrutinize in Big Screen. For Any Social Media purposes that's more than enough.
Try the 13 august jaguar kernel and Flash the new camera blobs if the error persists.
But before that you will have to reflash the Rom by wiping dalvik cache/cache/system.
Dont wipe the Data if you need your app configuration to remain the same.
Since everyone on the huge OnePlus 3 thread gets tetchy if you raise queries about other phones, I decided to start a discussion thread. What have your experiences with these mods been, and which variations work best for you?
Personally, I've opted for the recent Google Camera Pixel Mods by @Arnova8G2 as they seem to give the best all-round functionality on this phone. I can switch between the various mods and configs without a hitch, and portrait mode works a charm. I find that the main Arnova mod (GCMod5) doesn't seem to work well on this phone in Portrait mode, either failing to take a pic without HDR + or giving greenish selfies with HDR+ active; his Pixel Mod, on the other hand, works perfectly.
Google Camera Pixel Mod links: Original version (more options in advanced); v1 (improved video stabilisation).
Recommendation: If you want detailed main and selfie cam pictures, set the model config to "Nexus 5x" instead of "Nexus 6P"; I was dissatisfied with the selfies on the latter config, but after reading this by B-S-G, I switched and all was well. The main camera config, as with the actual Nexus phones, is exactly the same.
UPDATE (11/2/20):
Recommended cams:
Oreo: MGC_5.1.018_tolyan009_v1.4.1-test6.apk
Pie: MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e+.apk (no libs)/(w/libs)/(dark menu w/libs)
10: MGC_7.2.014_Parrot043-v3.apk ; MGC_6.1.021_mi6 edition _v7.7a (6.1 interface, plenty of libs, XML compatibility).

Edit:
New Cam Mod Released by @Arnova8G2
2018/01/22 – GoogleCamera-PixelMod
ChangeLog :
Fix green picture in front HDR+ for Moto Z
Add toggle "Improve photos in low light"
Setting of the parameter menu
Add About by respect of the developers
Other code for the HDR+ of the front camera (OP3/OP3T/OP5/OP5T)
Version tested on MI5 Android 8.1, This version replaces the original version of google and BSG.
---
I tried on my device with Cosmic OS from 20/01 and everything works except for the portrait mode on front cam where the shots have some greenish effect.
Please @Arnova8G2 can you fix this? Thanks!

This "Pixel2Mod" doesn't work as well for this phone as the "PixelMod". Greenish front HDR+, followed by crashes; plus, all the model/HDR+ configuration options are gone.
@Arnova8G2, if you could add a toggle to fix the greenish/pinkish tint on the back camera's "HDR+ on" mode, and perhaps stick in your "improve photos in low light" toggle, the original "PixelMod" would be the best GCam mod for this phone, hands down.

I suggest you guys to do a clear cache/data on every install.
may I ask in which ROMs Google Camera works properly ?
I know that it works on AEX 5.1 but that ROM seems to be buggy for me , I did not like it. I use RR v5.8.3 for a long time since it is very stable and battery life is good but I tried to install Google Camera in that ROM , no luck..
Does any of the Nougat ROMs for Zuk Z2 Pro supports camera2api ? anyone knows?

I don't think any Nougat ROM for this phone supports Camera2API. It was kinda a big deal when it was annouced for AEX 5.1. What version of 5.1 was "buggy" for you? The latest official version has issues, but the New Year's Eve beta works great.

The last version works really slow for me.. for example double tab to wake feature works with 1-2 seconds delay. Same as pressing power button to wake device up works with delay.. Wifi toggle also same.. I mean in general feeling ROM was quite slow compared to RR Nougat ROM. I saw your post about new year's eve version in another topic , I downloaded it and tried to install but somehow same gapps which was working in latest version did not work in new year's eve version.. Can you tell me which gapps (with release date of gapps) did you flash exactly?
Last 2 days I keep switching between ROMs to check which one is most stable.. I should say that definitely Stock ROM with Android 8 is the fastest and most stable one. But it is very frustrating that you can not use Google Camera in that ROM , such an annoyance.. howcome ZUI developers did not include camera2api in Oreo version , i could not understand

Thanks! Added to the OP
Rom version: Nitrogen OS 9.0
Gcam version : GCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013
Feedback : front photo green
Photo captured :
Here some sample for comparison,
App: MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+
Rom: Stock 8.1
Darker ones are shot with HDR+ enhanced mode and Brighter ones are with Night Mode
Everything is working fine in Arnova8G2 GCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013 except front camera. All the pictures taken with front cam are greenish and blurry. Night sight working like a charm. I'm on LiquidRemix 10.0.1 pie ROM. Here are some samples.
GCam with HDR+ GCam with Night Sight
GCam with HDR+ GCam with Night SightGCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013
Appreciate the feedback guys! Keep them coming!
Great thread! Quick question tho, anyone still getting the dot pattern bug when shooting bright blue skies and bright colors? It shows when zooming in photos taken with hdr+
The front camera will be fixed in the next version, i talked to aranova and he will fix it.
The arnova pixel3 version works a bit slow/laggy for me, also no live picture in night mode, although it works/produces the image. BSG version works better, except for the annoying "hexagon" popup.
Side question - which is the best/most stable gcam version with ZSL/motion stills/slomo? I used a pretty old one, I wonder if there was any progress to this day - will try the ones in 1st post tomorrow.
p.s is there any way of having several camera apps installed? Usually it wants to overwrite the current one, although id like to test a few ones parallel.
cheers,
j.

The 625 is weak and zsl and other features would be too much for it.
Some launchers can rename apps. App cloners should also be able do it.
Great to join this thread..
hope front face camera will be fix soon

Hey, I've started work on porting google camera onto Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Gcam development:
Changelogs and downloads:
Here are available versions: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-wyroczen/
64MP RAW enabler module and new 64mp capable google camera app is here! Check out my celsoazevedo page
Buffer fix:
Hey, so here it is, buffer fix for Redmi Note 8 Pro.
It's first version, not perfect yet. It will be available on celsoazevedo soon
Compatibility:
Android 9 MIUI
Android 10 Custom roms
Android 10 MIUI - untested
What it will give you?
It will fix lag in all gcam apps (mostly 7.x are affected because of no working in app fix yet).
Problems:
As it is first version, it has it's own flaws:
Aux cameras will be super smooth, main camera will still lag a little and sometimes hangs for less than a 1s.
Other bugs?
Please report every encountered bug on RN8P gcam telegram group.

Hello. Thank you for your work. The wide-angle camera and macro work fine in HDR + mode, the main camera does not want to start, the black screen
hdr works on the specified cameras. Enters settings only if the main camera is on. thanks for the work
low contrast, unlike miui camera

App is in testing stage.
Changelogs and downloads:
Here is first public available test version available: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-wyroczen/
As of now I'm not sure whether gcam can fully work on Mediatek device. Main camera has blackscreen as of now. HDR+ seems to work on Wide and Macro, but it needs further testing.
As I don't have this device, I can't check by myself whether some functions are working good or not. Feel free to test everything carefully Logs (from app on phone or adb logcat), and photo comparisons with stock camera app would be appreciated

This Mediatek chipset , is possible to develop custom ROMs? This chipset is no different than the others..
So if possible to create ,develop ROMs, Kernel and other stuff?
Thanks in advance.

First of all thank you for your efforts.
I tried to test your version. Here you'll find the logcat output. I filtered using grep com.google.android.apps.camera to avoid too much noise. If you need specific test please tell me which steps i had to perform.
Hope this helps.

Hey, I'm gcam modder, not rom developer
It is possible to develop custom roms, kernels, and "other stuff" but it would be better to have full kernel source from xiaomi

im not a dev, but I think there's hope for that because xiaomi has release their kernel source

ps: sorry OP for off topic
I dont know how to get the logs, but I can describe overall workability.
As said: when option RAW_SENSOR checked in FIX settings, there are full working HDR+ and HDR+ Enchanced on aux Camera - Wide and Macro, and on the front camera.
With alternative config Night Sight is also working, on three cameras. So as the Portrait Mode.
Also capture RAW-dng, seems to be ok.
Noticed issues:
Crash on video
Crash when trying to get to Settings from aux cameras, but if in Aux Cameras settings check the switch "Disable Settings Mode", button Settings is still present and there is no crash anymore.
There are problems with initialization of aux cameras. They starting from time to time. It can be a black screen or loading animation or non-active shutter button. Switch to Front Camera and back helps in 95% of cases.
Problem with deinitialization of camera session. Safety app is sending notification that "The Camera is using Camera in the background", even if forcibly shutdown gcam through the app manager. It causes another system bug, with the notification LED blinking or constantly on with no visible reason..
For now, all that I tested or remembered
What is the use of advanced sensors in redmi note 8 pro when there is no Gcam developers for this mediatek processor RN8 PRO!!!!
Thanks for posting...
I try fastly...
I'm on european model
Can't have anything with wide angle/macro.
Picture from main camera is visible in background when going on "Plus"
App crashs when going on "video"
App crashs when activate wide angle/macro and going on "plus"

You need to change to RAW_SENSOR in fix menu
Also there is an xml for rn8pro which will fix lag in viewfinder
Oh yes...thanks you...
It's Ok...
I take some macro and wideangle pictures
In most cases Gcam is better :
- captures more détails
- hasn't some unreal AI process you can find on Xiaomi's cam
- most time, better colors
But in one case, I get crazy colors on macro.
This one is better with Gcam :

Than on stock :

This is crazy pink colors with Gcam (only case I get) :

And more accurate (orange) on stock
http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/44/2/1572366916-img-20191029-123339.jpg
Wide angle :
More details in trees, more contraste in foggy Sky, less AI artifacts (sharpen) in lighter trees in the middle :

Amazing details on Gcam...even if lights were yellow (Closer to stock's) and not white.
I had some problem to launch Gcam...I had to Erase data and reconfigure
when shooting during the day, it often highlights a blue or purple tint.
Can't even get the camera to initiate within the app. It shows in the background only on the "More" tab. Also, app crashes when location setting toggled off.
I am using Iode-OS and I want to use the Gcam Wichaya Mod, see here.
The Wichaya's 8.1 v1.5 app runs fine but is not able to use the panoarama-mode or in other words it is not able a.t.m. to use all camera lenses of the FP4.
How can I create a config? @mickey36736 is there a chance to get some tipps or can you help the slowly growing FP4-community?
Here is the original FP4 cam apk:
53.12 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
Is there a developing team?
Starting from a Nikita GCam it is possible to install the auxiliary module for the extra cameras
NGCam | AUX
AUX (Auxiliary Lens) are available for many devices. However on some it FC (force closes / crashes), and that's why you have to set IDs manually.
If you faced with this issue, just download the app to see all IDs for all camera sensors and follow the instructions below. You can use this method if you have a FC or applied xml from other devices.
WARNING: Do not send any files in group chat, because this is only for you to set ID manually if you got a FC.
more info on the telegram group!
Hi! Which is the last known working version of NGCam for FP4?

Are you experimenting with Wichaya? Were you able to add a switch to the second wide-angle camera and/or set the shutter aperture to very long times (i.e., >30 sec)?

FP support is aware of the wide-angle camera issue and it's being discussed here. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/camera-camera2-api-missing-features-bugs/83196
the wide-angle camera should be usable in other apps but I can confirm it’s not. I’ve reported this to our Quality team and we’ll likely fix it at some point in the future but for the time being, you will have to use our app for such pictures.

I am using GCam Wichaya v1.5 and work pretty good with FP4. Nevertheless, I upload here my log thus maybe it possible to optimize the config!
