This gcam workes for me:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1K0TYUoaIhUWubIPLm5k00CwCcMy8b_2e
Just go into settings and turn on portrait mode and restart camera.

Forgive me guys but portrait is strictly Oreo feature, no?

No, it needs a ROM with API2 enabled, which MIUI doesn't have as far I know.

With MGC_5.1.018_tolyan009_v1.4.1-test4.apk , camera portrait mode works well in miui.eu ROM.

Does front cam portrait working and on which Rom and device are you using? Is it China Or Indian Pro version?

The phone is not rooted. I am using this on Redmi note 5 pro, running 9.5.11.0
Both back and front camera portrait mode is working

Great to know Gcam portrait working for you in both back and front side but I am using China verient and using Arnovas nodded app in which front portrait doesn't work and using latest RR Rom. Because of the camera sensors differences in China and Indian verient maybe different Gcam doesn't work fully in my China version. Hoping someone finds a way to make all the features work in China verient. Thanks

I do that but I don't receive usb debugging permission on my phone after connecting to pc.

Try using Minimal ADB and fastboot for connecting to mobile.

Done. The front camera doesn't work. The apk you had attached above didn't work. Downloaded another from the list. It workwd but the front camera doesn't work.

How do you find the image quality as compared to stock?
For front camera
BSG Settings:
-Old Style -> Nexus (so front can works with and without portrait mode)
-Portrait Mode Always Active (So portrait mode appears instead of tilt shift)

Please post a screenshot for BSG settings. I don't think I have this option.

The images from gcam have better color and details.

Anyone else got front cam portrait working stable on rn5 ai/china? I kinda got it working (intermittently) by toggling front and back camera a number of times and taking photos while in portrait mode

Pixel Experience rom GCAM

How do i change the default camera to GCAM in pixel experience rom? Front camera doesnt work on other apps like messenger and instagram if i use GCAM.

Uninstall Camera2api from magisk
Then reboot and flash this module in magisk
https://drive.google.com/open?id=145LmmTJB2yt5QJ5AHgZza1AI6FuGWQbf
This will allow you to use the Gcam as well as Miui stock camera and the front cam will also work on other apps.
Also I use this Gcam

I did try many gcams and most of them give me black photos or they crash when I switch to front camera.
Also, I dont understand why if I installed PixelExperience to get the GCam, instead i got the Miui cam...

Le_zl1_lex720-cn-fn-waxcnfn6003009091s-6.0.03 (30s): Cleaned, phone manager, pokemon

hello
i cleaned the LE_ZL1_LEX720-CN-FN-WAXCNFN6003009091S-6.0.03 (30S) from all SPAM china apps excluding: PHONE MANAGER, SYSTEM UPDATE (OTA), FEEDBACK.
MY STRATEGY: keep all apps that work with the phone HARDWARE (camera, dialer, etc). keep only the nice apps and delete as much SPAM apps as possible.
INSTALLED APPS (SYSTEM):
GAPPS minimal build for Pokemon GO (Google Play Services Version 12.6.85)
Recommended APPS:
Google Play Store 6.0.7:
INFO FOR FAKE GPS USER:
Install MAGISK (for ROOT):
Install FAKE GPS APP (take the app you like most)
Install /system/app mover ★ ROOT ★ 1.7.3:
move FAKE GPS with /system/app mover ★ ROOT ★ 1.7.3 to SYSTEM.
I think the Phone runs very fast + stable (with the cleaned rom).
POKEMON GO runs superfast without any issues.
its my first project here and i can provide TWRP BACKUP.

Question. On this version with android 6.0, Can you test if Gcam Mod (Version 3.5) can do Shot with bokeh effect?
I read that version (Mod) can do shot with Blur effect (like Gcam Mod on Android 7+)
BTW, Some screenshots will be great!!n

This --> Gcam
I'd want to know if Bokeh effect works on android Marshmellow 6.0 (I know its does work on android Nougat and above)
I have a Lepro3 X727, using Android 8.1 (DotOS) and works fine but Battery and Sound on Stock EUI android 6 are Supreme and I missed a lot. If Gcam Mod work and can do Shot with Bokeh effect or Portrait mode (Not lens Blur, it not same) I could to back android Stock.
+You must to have enable Camera2 API. Remember thats

i hacked the build.prop: manually added persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 .
the GCamMod_v.3.5.0 app don't open and crashes when starting it.
with the "Open Camera" app V1.45.2 you can shot fotos with Camera2-API (RAW-MODE).

Thank you very much.

if you are interested i could post my TWRP backup (boot, data, system) 3.67GB on google drive or somewhere else.
build.prop: manually added persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 included in TWRP backup.
i think this build is (much) faster as many phone with stock rom.
this build is super responsive on games like pokemon go and on any other app i tired out so far.
i added antutu benchmark for my build on my photos.

How to use .xml files
.xml files must be stored in [Internal Storage]/GCam/Configs7 (create the folder if it doesn't exists)
To load an .xml double tap the area between the capture button and gallery, select the .xml and click Restore or Update (depending on GCam used)
If there are no .xml files, make sure the folder is created and the name is correct.
How to enable auxiliary cameras [magisk required] [updated for 7.3 Arnova]
Download the following magisk module and install it: [Download link]
Reboot your phone. If the app still crashes when you select an auxiliary camera do another reboot.
Auxiliary cameras are supported only by Urnyx05 GCam at this time.
Auxiliary cameras are not supported in cloned .apks.
Cloned .apks
Cloned .apks are needed in order to use two different versions of the same app
You can also use cloned .apks to have the same app version with different settings (.xmls). One for day and one for night.
Auxiliary cameras are not supported in cloned .apks.
Credits to Arnova8G2, Urnyx05, Nameless, Sir TAVARES and everyone else on the telegram channel.

These are the best ones at the moment. Still recommend Urnyx with Nameless or Pixel4 xml. Arnova 7.3 is still a beta and lots of bugs with missing options (aux cam, astro toggle etc)

Just installed the Urnyx05 with Nameless.xml, and it seems to be working pretty well. Some features don't work, but that's to be expected haha.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot for sharing! Will be testing.

Neither Arnova8G2 7.3 nor Urnyx05 7.2 is working for me.
I get a crash with Arnova8G2 7.3 as soon as I open up the camera app.
With Urnyx05 7.2, I get a crash after I press the shutter button for both XML files.

Thanks for share .
Is it possible to run multiple gcams of same version side by side ?

What's your device and software version? Any Magisk modules installed?

Using OP7T, Urnyx and the nameless v7 XML, only feature I've found not working is the slow Mo, everything else seems fantastic, and much better than stock

only feature I'm missing is macro mode.. is there any way to do this in gcam

Does anyone else have the same zoom crash problem I'm having when locked focused on an object? This is only for the Urnyx05 version, not the Arnova8G2 version. I detail the problem in the post linked below:
Problem: GCam crashes when the focused point/circle moves outside of the screen during the process of zooming.
If you can't repeat the problem on your phone, can you please look at my signature and tell me how your phone is different? Thank you.

If you install the magisk module it will allow you to use ultrawide and telephoto cameras in google camera. Read the first post for more info.

Did you try it on stock rom as well? OmniRom might cause it to crash.
