After multiple gcam apks, and modules. I finally found a working APK for telephoto lens. I am on AEX btw.
So, first you need this magisk module by @fu24 :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...od-switchable-telephoto-t3859831/post78396818
*Note The newer module by @fu24 breaks night sight, so this version recommended
Then install one of these APKs by
@fu24 Pixel 3 Mod : https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e-fu24_Aux2way_4Lens-03g-dual.apk (working Night Sight) (front cam still has green tint)
Thanks to
@fu24 for the magisk module and APK
@adnbwta for mentioning a Pixel 3 Mod

Huh, I never knew that you switch it like that. Yes, it works, but I notice that the pictures are a bit darker and grainier than pixel 2 mods. So I would stick with the pixel 2 mod.

Trust me the difference is staggering between 4.5 and the 5.x versions. Little grainy doesn't do it justice, all the normal and low light photos have an excessive amount of noise, even the algorithm cannot remove them , it leaves purple residue on the photos it just looks awful.

I was tinkering and found this. It's not working that well. But it's there, they are working on it.
No night button on camera app 3.0.8. I use ob22 pie. How I can it enable?
The camera itself supports night mode, and you can enable it through shared_prefs, it'll give you the button, you can use it to take pictures, but it does not use night mode actually. It's not working, because we don't have the required libs in order to use the night mode. I've tried it as well earlier.

Just because the option is hidden doesn't mean they're working on it. I'm assuming they have a common base for the stock camera app, and hide features depending on the phone model. If I was you, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

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).

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.

Haters will say it's wrong!
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 !!!!

That's so strange asking for this, because it is so simple to test it at your ease.
This is a simple APk to be installed and removed simply if you don't like. it is NOT any deep system modification that can raise questions...

That's not the case! I don’t own the device yet. But if I get positive feedback about this aspect that might change pretty soon. Normally you get better result with GCam on top of custom ROMs. But that may vary. That's why I wanted to be sure before buying & not regret afterwards.

Two issues I found were:
1. The slow motion isnt working with the latest MGC GCam
2. Images on the front cam are only 4-5 megapixels (20mp on stock)
Everything else is great though. The main cam has more detail in GCam than stock

Not really sure what you mean but if you select 1.9 on the camera that uses the macro lens 1.0 standard .06 wide
ok let me start custom roms blow stock out of the water but the only thing that made me go back to stock was the camera app , in my opinion gcam struggles to focus I do consider myself a a photography pro , that being said , i love the performance of the customs roms overstock , hands down, but the default camera is the deal breaker in my opinion, g-cam struggles to focus , especially in macro mode , I do hope some one port the ANX camera to a custom rom ... just my 2 cents and I tried them all Gcam / configs so save your breath...
I agree, the stock cam is just better, more convenient and faster imo. Luckily for me I dont care much about photos.
Sorry I got that wrong.

It's true, thanks to a user of this forum that I don't remember the name I was able to use the Gcam for normal and night photos but the macros are still a problem.
Another thing that is making me think about going back to Stock ROM is that there is no support and continuity of updates.
I really love the stock camera too. But for Macros or really close photos it can't focus could you give me a tip, to improve it.
Does any custom rom support the stock camera app?

right after taking the picture the app closes, the picture is saved but every time I have to reopen the app. If I take a photo in night mode the app closes and the photo is not saved.
