Just found this mod for Pocophone that allows to use fingerprint reader as shutter on Gcam mods (miui camera has that built in).
Tried it on my Mi Mix 2S and works flawlessly. Tested it with MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.apk from B-S-G, on MIUI 10.2.2.0 (PDGMIXM) and works ok.
It doesnt seems to interfere with finger print unlocking nor fingerprint authorization on apps.
Here the link https://c.mi.com/thread-1777529-1-0.html and all credit are to the owner of the thread of course.
I stumbled upon the module yesterday and was wondering if it was working, but decided to hold off for a while and look if anyone had tried it before i am going to take a look,
Are there more people who've tried it for themselves? Want to know if the module is worth my time...

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.
Many of you who use gcam know that sadly with GCAM 6 the front camera will refuse to work with HDR+ enabled. (Which is the main feature of gcam) that also means no better front portraits and night sight feature (on selfies) compared to GCAM 5.
Now I wish I could fix this issue, but sadly I am not a developer who knows how to create a fix for this, but I did see other devs which own a different phone and fix this issue using a magisk module such as the OP5/OP5T and Mi 8 Lite. We need to find someone who can find a fix for the Redmi 5 Plus like there's a fix for other phones, and then we all could enjoy superb camera pictures!
Sadly no one has ever found a way to fix the problem yet. I wish the developer would've fix it for our device too, but seems like there's no way it could happen in the meantime. It may be related to the system files in our phone that needs to be modified, or it may be related to the gcam app itself whereas some codes need to be modified in order to make it compatible to our devices.
Whatever it is, let's hope it'll get fixed one day.
What's even worse is now alot of GCams that are v6.2 version got rid of the ability to even disable the HDR+ therefore you can't even take normal pics. Also as result of the broken front alot of modes don't work either like Portrait on front, Night sight on front, Photobooth.. sadly the front is broken. We may get fix one day hopefully.
Does anyone know if there exists a port of the Redmi Camera for AOSP-based ROMs, or how difficult would be to create one? Cause I want to be able to take portraits.
I have tried installing Redmi Camera trough APKmirror but it didn't install, I have tried a lot of cameras but none of them worked; Google Camera had a lot o problems, like it didn't let me turn off HDR so photos took a long time to save, portraits would crash the app if I tried to open them before they finished processing, etc.
I really like AOSPExtended but the camera is a big no-no for me.

I saw miui camera ports from other phones. I don’t know about stability, but I can share it in mega.nz
Try using ANX camera.
There's no MIUI Camera port, but you can use ANX Camera, which is made like MIUI Camera
Hello there,
Recently after updating my OnePlus 7t to open beta 3 I've noticed a strange issue with the cameras. About 2 hours after every reboot camera related features start malfunctioning. I can't use face unlock, because "camera is being used by other apps", I can neither use the stock camera app because I get a toast notification saying "the camera is in use". The main back and front camera seems to be working in every other app like snapchat, gcam (although telephoto and ultrawide don't work on gcam). After reboot everything goes back to normal for some time.
I tried:
- cleaning data of all camera services and the camera app itself and face unlock app
- re-adding my face model
- uninstalling AUX camera magisk fix (which enables telephoto and ultrawide to work in gcam)
Is anyone else having this issue? Iwould love to solve this problem without reverting back to open beta 2, as it lacks some features I like in OB3. Thanks in advance for help!

I am facing the same issue with the latest beta update? Got any fix for this?
Are you sure you dont have some app spying on you. Probably using the camera thats why its being reported in use
It's caused by GCam. Not sure about stock OOS cam.

I doubt it, as the issue is only in stock Oxygen OS apps (camera, face unlock). My theory is that they use some camera service made by Oneplus which has broke in my phone. Other apps, such as Snapchat or Gcam do not utilise such service, and the main cameras work just fine in those apps (telephoto and ultrawide don't work, because they propably must be accesed via this service). But it's just my theory
I'm in thoughts of buying Mi 10T/Mi 10T Pro but have a few questions.
1) Does NFC work Lineage, Evolution or similar custom roms?
2) Does Gcam work well(4K 60fps) Lineage, Evolution or similar custom roms? And does the Gcam add stabilization on 4K 60fps recording?
3) Does the fingerprint sensor work well with Lineage, Evolution or similar custom roms?
4) Are there any port of the Miui stock camera app for Cutom roms?
5) Are there any screen protection Glass that work with the fingerprint sensor?
6) Are there any other camera app than the stock Miui that is able to record in 8K 30fps?
7) Are there any know functions in the phone that doesn't work well with custom roms?
1. Yes
2. Yes/not sure for the second part, 4k 60fps if forced option, eis and ois(only on 10t pro) exist in options
3. Yes
4. There are some anx versions that some people reported to work, but it's awful, half of the stuff doesn't work, force closes, errors etc...
5. Fingerprint sensor is on power button, so every screen protector works.
6. None that I know of
7. Nfc sometimes doesn't work, but the fix is in making. Wifi sometimes prevents phone from entering deep sleep, also fix soon

2) On Pro, it is not OIS in 4K 30Fps and not in 60fps?
4) Have they succed in ports in order Xiaomi phones? Or is it impossible to make it work completly?

For the first part, I'm not really sure because I use both ois and eis in gcam...
As for the second part, i never tried it, just what I heard from others in telegram groups...
