Anyone have an Oreo S9+ camera I could install? I love most of the Pie update, but this camera is terrible. I mean, they completely cut pro video recording from the phone... I can't set the ISO, Manual Focus, etc. anymore...

Hi Guys..
Camera quality of MI6 in outdoor photos is really good,
But in door photos there is lots of noise and sometime it looks like VGA camera,
If we enable camera api2 is there any chance we get better in door photos? I saw one thread here for Google camera but focus is not working so sad.
What you guys think in Oreo update we will get camera api2 officially?
Why this is not implemented during release time by Xiaomi strange?

Xiaomi doesn't want to rebuild their camera app to utilise camera 2 Api so they just turn it off.
If you enable it the miui camera stops working.
Google camera is good. It seems to be being developed slowly to work on most xiaomi devices by BSG.
So far on NisseCool's LOS 15 (cam 2 enabled as default) I have g cam working and HDR+ works if you toggle it off and back to "N6 HDR+ auto" in settings menu.
After closing though you have to go back to settings and turn it off and on again but it definitely is almost working.
Without HDR+ it's a very good camera anyway. Fast shooter.
Not sure if it actually offers any benefits over the MIUI camera though so you might be better off keeping the MIUI one for now and see if Oreo enables 2 api.
I found it on 4pda but i think developer was from this forum.
I dont take any credit, i didnt port this camera nor was in the process in any way...
Dont ask me for porting something else etc...
This is flashable zip, go in TWRP and flash, reboot, voila
This camera is by my opinion one of the best for custom roms, based on Nougat.
Snapdragon stock camera records dark videos and panoramas so this is good alternative...
For OREO i advise to use OnePlus camera because of API2.
Im on AEX 4.4 rom 24.07 build, using Heliox kernel 15.10 build, flashed camera blobs extracted from stock nougat.

Doesnt work:
Panorama mode
Panorama selfie
and some other options which are specific to Lenovo phones.
PRO mode is working, you can set manualy some parameters, really nice options...
This is a comparison of OnePlus 2.5.12 camera and this LCS camera:
Tested during night:
Video recording is better with LSC camera, in low light. Also Lenovo camera has option to take pictures during recording. Zoom is faster with LSC when recording.
For pictures I give advance to OnePlus camera, faster autofocus, also it has feature to brighten the image, like iPhone.
But I think picture details are better with LSC. When you zoom you can see the difference. Also double the size of pictures for LSC. But focus with LSC can sometimes be missed. For focus advantage goes to OnePlus.
Selfie definitely better with LSC, with OnePlus pictures are yellowish.
Tested during daylight:
Video autofocus is much quicker and less noticeable in LCS camera, OnePlus zooms like its taking a picture and defocused period is much longer than on LCS.
Pictures have warmer colors with LCS, and more details, but OnePlus is definitely winner for autofocus and sharpness of an image... You can achieve that with LCS but you have to get used to it and see when focus is not right and manually tap for focus. Or move away the phone to let it zoom again and take another picture. LCS focus is not bad at all but Oneplus camera is much faster and more accurate.
Here is also latest gcam that works without API 2

I think is creates the best panoramas. Needs more testing...
Today i saw it creates dark images in low light but panorama stays light.
This app is only for PANORAMA mode.
Thanks for sharing mate.
Currently I'm using this and the Camera from OP5. Both seems to be the best alternative cameras for the Custom ROMs

Absolutely. They have their cons and pros but combined makes camera perfect . Only slow motion doesnt work good with any camera... But i can live without it.
Oreo ZUI is out for our phone btw, i hope camera on custom OREO roms will get even better and that zui developers enabled api2 finally....
HDR+ google camera makes really nice photos...
Bad news, looks like ZUI devs didn't enabled API2 even in OREO rom...
I asked few guys which installed the rom, HDR+ cannot be found. But they say camera is much improved...
Is there an .apk version?

Is it safe to assume that the google camera on stock based roms is better than the miui 9 default camera?
Im saying this because I just got the Honor View 10 and will be doing some camera comparisons and dont really want to go back to miui rom.

Imo yes, Gcam is better. Especially front camera.
In my Mi6, the stock camera was better than Gcam

Which ROM?
miui9 with Camera2 enable way too much noise
Official Aicp 12.1, Google Camera can't focus, in the end i'm using bacon camera
Unofficial LOS 15.1 Too much noise again
The best picture i could get with my Mi6 was with the stock rom and default camera

I'm surprised.
Google camera on any ROM I've used has been consistently better than any other set up.
I don't even use HDR+ because of the autofocus issues.
Just normal photos.
Always better than stock camera and others even when using HDR+ with those.
Video is another area though. Only MIUI camera produces consistent video quality.
Gcam just lags and crashes.
Bacon camera was decent enough as an alternative for video.
Currently on AOSPA I have gcam for normal photos and MIUI camera for video and special photos
I was really eager to use Gcam, the phone i had before the Mi6 was a J5 Prime.. So no Gcam either. Everyone said it was an awesome camera, so i waited 72 hours, unlocked bootloader, twrp and then enable camera2.. I tried a few gcam mods and in my Mi6 none of them where superior to the default camera that came with miui9.
I've read a lot about Camera2 API not being enabled/functional on custom Pie ROMs. Can it be enabled on stock Pie for A2 Lite? I'm currently on stock Oreo 8.1, and have held off upgrading due to lack of Xposed and GCam (I've gotten used to Night Sight for pics). Although I don't use Night Sight frequently, I like the ability and want to be able to keep using it on PIe if I upgrade. It also appears that Gravity Box is released for EdXposed, so that should fulfill my modding needs. Just want to be sure about Camera2 API before I take the leap.
Thanks!
Cam2API can indeed be enabled on Pie. But Gcams don't work. They keep trying to focus and you end up with blurry images most of the time. If you like Gcam, stay on Oreo, that's why I downgraded.
⠀
@marstonpear & @Zodui,
Based on what you say I may not upgrade. However, if the itch strikes, which version of Gcam would you recommend?
I know the "itch", but believe me you're gonna come back to Oreo again just for Gcam and you're gonna have some minor problems due to downgrading. Still if you insist, this one is optimized for our device so it has front cam working, back cam keeps focusing on Pie:

And this one for the (blurry because of focus, lol)NightSight shots:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.5.apk
@marstonpear
OK. You've convinced me to stay on Oreo!
UPDATE : You can use Urnyx05's gcam ports on Pie and the back camera focus is working properly, but you can't use front cam with HDR+. So you can install a Gcam 5 for the front camera and for the back you can use Urnyx's gcam. Cheers.
As in the title, does Samsung allow to use raw on all lenses on this version or they are blocked like in 3.1? A Samsung phone without google camera is not imaginable.
On OneUI 4.1 samsung camera app, Raw is not avaiable on zoom lens. At the moment only ultrawide and normal in Pro mode.
