MI6 Camera Quality

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.

portrait mode in GCam / Custom ROMs?

So I see everyone talking about the quality of video recording in GCam, HDR + etc. but I'm just curious how the rear camera portrait mode working in third party cameras and if it's working, is it actually utilizing both rear cameras?

No 3rd party camera can use the 2nd camera at the moment(doubt if they ever will), not even the modded GCam uses the depth sensor. It takes better portrait anyway using only one camera, better separation, though with a little less depth blur.

Does GCam requires camera 2 API? I heard that the stock camera crashes after enabling Camera 2 API.

The stock camera works fine after enabling camara2api. The problem is after enabling camera2 API, none of the cameras can focus during recording video, so that's an issue you'll have to deal with if you decide to enable it.

Still none of gcam mods which support for second depth camera?
I'm on RR so I can't use stock camera. It's not supporting

RN5G - Camera

Hello, I have a Redmi Note 5 Global, I've rooted it and I'm currently running RRemixOS. I have enabled Camera2 and installed GCam, which works fine for the most part.
As I understand though, GCam or any other camera app I used doesn't utilise the second rear camera at all, correct?
Is there an app or a way to use both rear sensors in a non MiUI environment?

Gcam was made for pixel phones, which have only ever had one rear sensor. Until Google release a pixel with 2 sensors, you won't be able to utilize both on your phone. The secondary sensor on the note 5 is a bit of a gimmick anyway, all you need to do is compare stock photos to gcam photos to realise this.

I undestand that, but there isn't any other app that supports dual camera?
Or maybe a port of the original camera?

nokia possible with OIS or EIS with google camera apk?

if i will install google camera would be possible it will be having a ois or eis ?

In GCam HDR+ electronic stabilization is present in setting at least for Video (but I have don't tried it, only few minute to see if it was working on our 6.1)
OIS is not possible for sure because Nokia 6 2018 don't has it, it has only EIS so stock cam ot other cam apps can't support optical stabilization even in future app update.

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
