Hi, my Redmi Note 5 is arriving and I want to know if I install Ressurrection Remix OS the Gcam app will have the same image quality as if I install it on Miui?
In my opinion it's even better, since you can adjust a lot in the modified versions of the gcam (look out of Arnova and saneklic.)
You can bump up the image quality by quite a bit (also in low light conditions, images can get better). Additionally you have some nice mods (like photosphere, different modis of panorama) which the others don't have. In my opinion the mi camera performs as good or worse than the gcam.
The portrait effect with the blured background can be achieved perfectly by 1 lens again, so no need to use the mi camera for that effect (since lineage snap & gcam use 1 lense only). So there is no need to use miui camera for that one.
Don't forget to activate camera2api (persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1) in the build.prop and you are good2go I hope it helped!
Edit: if you want to use the miui camera anyway, there is a thread where you can flash the .zip file and have it anyway!
I think he means that he would like to know if the gcam performs the same on Miui as on aosp Rom. In the end, is the gcam so good on Miui as the same gcam app on aosp?
Personally I think yes, because they both used camera2api, but I didn't test it.
Which camera application has worked best for you? Do you have any application to recommend?
If you like miui-cam the best version is "Mi A2 Camera" magisk module, found under downloads in magisk! Portrait for front and back camera
-> the best is: it´s working on gsi treble roms! I´m on omni right now and it´s working great!
If you like gcam, you can use pixel2mod and mgc up to version 5.2 by Tolyan: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tolyan009/
Here I posted a tiny comparison between 4 camera apps for stock users. Normal apps. No magisk, no root, no gcam and no camera2API enabled https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77703505&postcount=11
Just as Voodoojonny said, if you want to squeeze the camera a little more, you'll have to install magisk and enable camera2API. Then, install a gcam app (there are 2 threads about it in this device forum) or install the Mi A2 camera magisk module. Also, Open Camera app and Camera zoom fx app let you shoot with manual, which is pretty neat, too.
Give them a try. If you like tampering with settings and so, you have enless hours of fun. But in the end, all what matters is user experience and final result. And it's quite personal. Try them. Start with the stock app. Then, A2 and gcam (both very powerful). And give a try to regular cam apps such as open camera (ugly but really good for manual), camera zoom fx and camera mx (I like the post-editing capabilities).
The best I've seen is gcam with HDR/HDR+
I don't know why everybody likes the gcam HDR+ so much. For regular photos with good light, good focus and all, I like the regular mode (no HDR) better. And it has better quality. HDR is always more "dusty", like if it shoot with higher ISO (zoom in and you'll see what I say).
I'm pretty happy with GCam, lot of settings to play with

Hi.

Hello,
I've got Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 pro
With MIUI 10.2 Global
I've enabled camera2 API
But I can't find a good Gcam
I tried alot of apks,
Some crash when open front cam, some give black screen when shot with front camera HDR+
And night sight doesn't work
Can anyone help me? Which version do u use?
Some Attention
Sorry for bad English
Just try havoc..
I haven't found working gcam for Miui Oreo neither. If someone did help would be appreciated.
Suggesting another aosp ROM is not an option.
It's the same like suggesting people with bugs on havoc to try Miui.

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

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

Are you developer?
You understand coding and developing?
Can you give us answer to one question,and help us all..
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

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.
Hi,
Can anyone please take the camera .APK from the phone and any system app related to it and HDR filming...
I have the 10 Pro and sadly camera doesn't film in HDR, I would really like to to test installing 20 Pro stuff to see if there's any luck.
Thank You
guily
Guily,
You might have better luck with a GCam port, though there isn't a config file for any TCL phone yet, AFAIK. I've gotten good results with the ENG version from here.
