Can I use wide and telephoto lens in Open Camera app? - Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers

For me Open Camera is the best app compared with gcam and native app. Can I switch to wide and telephoto lens using Open Camera app in Mi 9 SE (I didn't find)?
I saw this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/photo-comparison-camera-gcam-xtreme-t3924054
Apparently this guy was able to use the wide lens in Mi 9. I preferred to open this new thread to ask that.

well from what i read he is using gcam EXTREME , that mod might have other use of (additional) lenses than "our" gcam mod for the se has, so i guess...no you/we can't
i have no link to se's gcam mod dev or thread, maybe ask the modder for "our" mod if he can build in upcoming versions to benefit

Gcam Miui vs AOSP

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.

Best camera app?

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

Google camera GCam_7.0.009 for LG G6

If you want to try the latest version of GCam 7.0.009, you can download below. Requires atleast android version 9.0
Not stable requires some tweaking.
https://bit.ly/2INLPvf
Seems to be working fine. What tweaking is required? Thanks!
I was not able to set up in my smartphone
The app opens on my G6 running PixelExperience. I can even open the settings without crashing, the apps I was using before crashed doing that. Changing cameras to selfie works, but after you press it again it wants to open wide lens, the app immediately crashes.
Hello nice link. But the picture is very noisy compared to the cstark27 version (maybe the iso is too high and the exposure is very very short)
Is their an older version for LG G6 users stuck on Android 8 (Oreo)?

Cool, I am using it daily and it is way better then stock LG Camera.

I just download this version of uryx Gcam which is the last one:
https: //f.celsoazevedo.com /file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v2.3. apk
and its working great so far but remember that u need to go to the app settings and enable the wide angle camera (do NOT turn on the telephoto or your gcam will enter in a crashing loop, just the wide angle) and enable the astrophotography too, if u want
PD: im new on the forum so i cant post links, just delete the blank spaces of the link and thats it

Hi. I have a question about the camera, in the front camera, do you also get blurry photographs? I have tried many versions, and with almost all of them I had that problem. I currently use Hypercam_R6, and it works well with both cameras.

Yes I have the same issue
I dont recommend 7 version on G6, try Arnova's 6.1, 6.2 or cstark version on his XDA post, in every version front camera sucks, u look weird, green, saturated, ugly, etc, but by now this is my top 3
Is there any version that supports both Timelapse and SloMo?
How to turn on wide camera?
Pixel Experience
This gcam is buggy
How about you stop spamming this **** 4+ times on the same forum section?
I tried these Gcam 7 versions on my LG G6 with Havoc OS 3.3:
> HYPER-NEXCam_7.2.10_V1.0_NEW_LIBS.apk
> GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk
So far these versions work quite well beside the front camera. The front camera is blurry even when the preview is sharp. Any fix for this?
Use other gcam

GCam for Oneplus 7T (15Jun2020)

Folks,
Opening up a thread for all discussion, links pics sharing using gcam mod for our 7T.
Im starting with the best working mod until now for me.
Im not rooted so dont know if wide angle can be used or not. Those who are rooted can tell me and I will update the thread.
All the credits goes to the creators/authors of the apk and xml.

XML is by yours truly All 3 lenses are tuned.
You can change the parameters as per your taste.

Q1. How to import XML files.
A1. Copy xml file in below folder. You need to create the folders.
/GCam/Configs7/
The top folder, /GCam/, should be created on the same level as the DCIM, Downloads, etc, folders.
Q2. Bugs
A2. Slow-mo is not working which is known issue in most gcam.
Pic facing the sun might not get saved.
Q3. 48mp mode not available
A3. Blame Oneplus [emoji1]
Q4. My tele & UW lens are not working
A4. You need root for both lens to work.

Portrait mode and night sight working fine on both front and rear camera?
I am on Huawei p30 pro. I was waiting for pixel 4 to launch. But since pixel 4 is not getting launch in India, do you guys think if op7t with gcam will be better than p30 pro?

P30 pro is an excellent shooter. If your only priority is camera , currently 7T with gcam will be very close, but it wont beat it specially in 5x optical zoom lens. Only thing is gcam development for 7T hasnt really begun, so not sure. 7T has all the required hw for camera tech, with proper gcam it can be the silent killer.

Even I was waiting for Pixel 4. But, now after comparing 7T with Pixel 3. I'm more inclined towards OnePlus for its looks and specs. 
 @amit_sen Is gcam port on non-Pixel devices gives you quality close to Pixel? I have Google Camera(had taken the backup when it used to be available on Play Store) on my OnePlus 2 but I don't see much difference.
Here is one GCam 7.0 working Mod tho it crashes while trying to zoom and still many features are to added yet.

Enable Pro mode from camera settings. Then select 48mpJPG option. By default stock cam takes 12mp pics.

Thanks that worked. Are there any other profiles you would suggest other than the one by Savitar?
Looks good so far. I recognized that beauty mode does not work either main or front cam.
Do you know if OnePlus 7T comes with Camera2Api set to LEVEL_3 or FULL? I haven't found any informations online. As far as I know One Plus 6/6T were just FULL, but I've read some XDA threads reporting that OnePlus 7 PRO was LEVEL_3 instead... so I'm pretty confused.
On that gcam apk the camera just stays black and then crashes any ideas why ?

Question GCAM for Op 11

Hi all,
I plan to get an OP 11 . Had an OP 9 before for a very short while so very new to OnePlus. Is there a GCAM app availaible ? & how good is it?
Also interested in this as I am in the same boat and the camera software/quality is all that's holding me back.
I thought I heard that GCam support stopped a few generations ago, however I could be misinformed as I have been out of the loop recently. Also I imagine that could have been talking about "official support" or smth (?), which luckily means nothing here as unofficial ports and apks are plentiful.
Gcam does work if you use a codeaurora variant from some of the popular modders featured on Celso Azevedo's Gcam Hub. Interestingly, I haven't been able to get any of the aux cameras working even with tinkering.
I suspect this is not intentional though. OnePlus acknowledged a recent update that broke Gcam compatibility with the oneplus 9 and eventually came out with a firmware update restoring the compatibility. They are definitely NOT anti-gcam. Im assuming the devs with Gcam mods will have aux working fairly soon.
I can confirm that gcam by By Shamim SGCAM_8.7.250.XX.44_STABLE_V4_ONEPLUS_PACKAGE.apk works. if any one finds one that is better let us know..
After rooting op11, I installed gcam By Shamim SGCAM_8.7.250.XX.44_STABLE_V4_ONEPLUS_PACKAGE.apk works well for main camera and front camera but none of the other cameras works.
I heard that OnePlus restrict the other cameras. Is there a magisk modular to fix that ??

It took a long time to get an "enabler" for the 8Pro/9R series.
I think we will also have to wait a long time for the "11" if we get to it at all.
For the 8Pro/9R it is here:

What I really don't understand is that OnePlus recently brought back Aux cameras access to the 9 Pro with recent updates but then the 11 doesn't allow Aux access. It's like they haven't had the chance to fix the Color OS restrictions yet since they copy pasted the code. Kinda frustrating.

Yep I tried flashing the old one and it didn't work. Both Gcam and stock cam kept crashing.
I guess we have no choice but wait. Thanks for the reply at least I know I am not missing anything.

OnePlus got to realize there is no value in restrictions. The reason most of us choose android over iOS is the freedom to customize.
Made for LMC8.4_R18, for the Oneplus 11. Based on Matteo's M23 libs.
Instructions:
- Download and install the APK from the link above.
- Download the lib file (.so file) and the XML from this post.
- Place the lib (.so file) in Internal Storage\LMC8.4\libs
- Place the xml file in Internal Storage\LMC8.4 (load it by double-tapping the black area around the shutter button)
Modes:
Leica - Vignette effect.
LDR - Low dynamic range.
B/W: For Black & White photos with the main camera.
Main: Main Camera.
UW: Wide Camera + Macro mode
B/W2: For Black & White photos with the wide camera.
Based on Matteo's M23 libs. Tuned for the Oneplus 11.
Created to capture natural colors and much details without over sharpening the pics.
Set tone curves and gamma curves.
Set a balance between noise reduction and details.
Pics may have a bit of noise, but that is configured to capture the most amount of details.
For macro shots use wide lens with 2x zoom + set manual focus value to 40.
Notes:
- The viewfinder is customizable on LMC. You can disable all extra features in settings if you prefer a cleaner look.
