Most of the gcam ports on android 9 have issues applying HDR+ to the front camera of the mi a2 lite. the one im running only takes front facing photos on burst mode and doesn't properly use HDR+. However that is my experience and there are other GCam builds to test. i recommend not upgrading to Android 9 pie and stay on Oreo if you want a good gcam port

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.
Hello all.
Is there any GCam port that has working front camera HDR+ for Whyred AI version (with 13mp camera)?
Thanks
Try this. As far as I know HDR+ enhanced does not work on front cam. Only HDR+.

No, there is still a bug with front HDR+ and HDR Enhanced.
Couldn’t find a perfect one yet, front cam seems to always have issues, with or without portrait mode (not saving picture, black screen or even FC)

Without root Front Portrait won't work in my knowledge. Also without DotFix u will get ugly dots in images.. Rear Cam
Hi! I'm in the same situation and I use Arnova's v7beta9 with no problems
link
EDIT: my bad, front camera doesn't work... I use stock camera for front portrait, and gcam for all other shots
Anyway I think that's the best version we can have for non-rooted users

Works with MIUI 10 as well no problems, thanks for the link. The quality for Portrait mode is astonishing!
What's the reason of having gcam if it only shoots in 12 and 5 MP? Even the ones that have 48mp option they shoot 12mp

You should check the quality of a stock camera and Google camera 7, the difference is big. Megapixels has nothing to do with that but the software algorithm does. Gcam has awesome algorithm. And it's 12 and 9 MP by the way.

This gcam is the first one I realli notice a difference from stock. In others, I felt that only night sight was better, but this one is good

Those are kinda "fake" 48mp. The 12mp are better with gcam. It's unnecessary to use more megapixels.

Even with good Algorithm, 48 to 12 is a big cap :\

Thank you so much for these recommended settings, I will definitively try it out!
What about libaries? In version 6.2 it was recommended to switch from standard google libs to custom libs. Is it ok to go with standard google libs on version 7.0?
Slow Motion not working.

Not for me. I think it should turn on even when you have phone laying on table.
Do you guys also notice that this camera is more zoomed in than what you get on the stock camera with the main camera?
