I got RN5 (global) which has Android 8.1.0.OPM1.171019.011 / MIUI 9.6.4.0
I would like to install google camera to have nice photo quality like pixel.
Came across this article which says we can do it without need to root.

Yes, you can get Gcam to work on your device by using these steps, If you don't wanna root your device.
Though rooting your device will make the process 5x easier, it's up to you. ?
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Have a nice day
You have to unlock BL to do:
- Install twrp recovery
- Flash CameraAPI2 enabler zip file
- Install GCam
But if not root, you can't take front HDR+ Enhanced and Portrait.
If you root you can solve front cam problem.
I don't know why you don't want root. If something relate to finance apps, magisk hide will pass easily!

Do you have working hdr enhanced in every light conditions? Camera is working for me only in daylight scenes. Rear works but front doesn't.

Yes you can, take a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/themes/gcam-root-flashing-twrp-t3813230
Yeah you can do it but you need to unlock your bootloader at least if not root ...if you unlock your bootloader then you can temporarily boot twrp and by using you can enable camera 2 api and thus,install gcam
You can use ADB on MIUI to enable Camera2 API, which works without root.
Hi Guys, we know 6T is One of the Netflix HD 4K certificated devices for L1 certification, unlike the Mi 8, and this can be from my personal side a decision point because I do use 4K contents a lot.
Now I know that after unlooking the bootloader we loose this ability and the service get recognized as an L3 Widevine device because of root.
I think that if we hide root through Magisk, and filter Netflix APP and all related software/services/apps/ and DRM info app etc, by correcting configuring latest Magisk, and of course we add also play store and Google service framework to Magisk hide filter after cancelling data in order to get on play store "certified device", I think that L1 certification will work but I can try test by myself because I don't have the 6T.
Can anyone make these tests and confirm once for all and for everyone that if we unlock the bootloader on 6T there will be never a way to have the L1 certifications?
Can anyone with 6T ALREADY unlocked bootloader check DRM info app if it reports L1 by hidding Netflix in Magisk? No need for risk or operations, just who already have an unlocked 6T with magisk, can just check, no operations to do, no request particular, just a check to know if it works or not.
Useless to reply to above comment, the guy must have some serious relationship and inner hate problems, go get solved for your sake. :*

The OP6T has L1 when it's stock/locked bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader puts it to L3.
OP if you can elaborate on this that would be great, I don't particularly care about L1 but I'll happily test. You aren't specific at all as to what you think should be hidden through magisk. Maybe download the official 9.0.6 OTA and look through it and list exactly what you want done.
I hid Netflix in MagiskHide and repacked Magisk Manager. I know it works because I pass SafetyNet and can play Pokemon Go.
DRM Info still says L3 with an unlocked bootloader. Didn't bother to hide DRM Info, but it wouldn't matter (it's not a detection issue, the decryption keys are unreadable with the bootloader unlocked).
Hope that answers your question OP. Also, this should have been in Q&A.
I don't even have Netflix installed and it's L3. Yet on my v30, rooted with Xposed and with Oreo and Netflix, I'm at L1.
Other than the OS, the Widevine is vslersion1.0 (v30 L1) and 6t is 14.0 (L3) maybe we could port v1 somehow?
I have no idea how any of this works so just throwing ideas out there

Read a bit before making theories. Widevine ISN'T linked to root or OS! It's encoded directly in the chip and is only linked to bootloader status, which can't be hidden. You can hide root 234678 times under 35678 carpets for 368322 apps Netflix will still be reading L3 as it's at hardware device level.
You're asking to add oranges and bananas

What he said...to the original poster, I'm sure you've read my previous threads. Any modern device has Widevine and bootloader status intertwined. It's not going to happen.
Unlock bootloader = L3
Locked bootloader = L1
What I had to decide (and you will too) as to which is more important...
Substratum / Titanium Backup
<<OR>>
HD Video for DRM content + no jumping through hoola hoops for updates of ROM (reinstalling TWRP/Magisk) and updates of apps (constantly re-applying substratum themes)
iYTBP & system-wide ad-blocking is possible these days w/o root so I didn't use that for criteria.

Off-topic but: Could you elaborate on rootless system-wide ad-blocking? I didn't encounter anything working as good as AdAway with root in terms of blocking ads within apps and the web.

Thank you very much, mister! I tried some VPN-based blocking apps before but they didnt work quite well. Blokada is open source and works very well as far as I can tell in this short time. Thank you!
Blokada is VPN based which is a no-no for some people, if you're not aware of it being a problem for you it probably isn't.
Of you're still wondering about this all I do is find the Netflix apk online download it, install it and then my phone let's me get updates through the play store for it again. I'm not sure if it tricks it but I don't do anything other than that and I haven't had any issues with Netflix. Bootloader unlocked with root and mods

There's a test for resolution within Netflix I forget how to get to it if you Google it you could probably find it but can you run that and report back the resolution if it bypasses it you should get 1080p or higher but if it doesn't it will be at most 480p
Edit: just search test patterns on Netflix its in there

I'm not sure about any of that I'm running 1080 but I also hide magisk from Netflix so maybe that helps? Either way it's definitely a solution. As soon as you unlock your bootloader Google play hides Netflix. But if you find the apk online and install it then root and hide magisk you should be fine

As we already know our phone doesn't support ARCore but there's a way to enable it on unsupported phones here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ar/
Even tho I did what it said there I couldn't get it to work and every time I open an AR App or I try to open the Playground the app crashes. Did anyone manage to get this work on our device? If yes how?
Might work on custom ROMs but I'm interested in the stock PIE ROM.
Thanks!
Have the same problem. Did everything they said on the site. AR+ option enabled on pokemon go, but whenever I tried to use it, the screen went dark and crashes.
Would be nice if someone says that is able to use arcore right now in this phone. I wonder if it got patched
I know you said that you're interested in stock ROM, but that's the thread that pops up when people google anything related to ARCore and Mi A2 Lite, so I'm here to let everybody know that I got ARCore working on this phone using custom ROM called Pixel Experience. Every AR app I tried works except for Playgound. You can find it here on xda-developers. I couldn't reproduce these effects on stock ROM.
arcore enabler on magisk and voilá! (i recommend use the 1.5v zip file, the 1.6v crashes safety net!)
It doesn't work. Every time i open Playground app or any other AR app it crashes.
I did everything - Magisk+ arcoreenabler(both version 1.5 and 1.6) and installing Arcore and Playground app.
I'm on Pie stock.
Any help?

I'm also trying to get ARCore working on my A2 Lite but still nothing... I want to install the Measure app, which needs ARCore, but every time I try to open, it crashes. Has anyone found a solution?
For a while I was able to run ARcore following these institutions, but at the time my device was on Android 8 but now after I have upgraded to Android 9 it doesn't work at all.

Right now I'm using an GSI version of android 10 for our device and all AR apps including gcam playground are working fine(maybe a little bit laggy in playground camera, but maybe it depends on which version of gcam you are using) Maybe these days if i have some free time ,i'll reflash stock rom and look for a solution

Guys, I made it work at june 19. I forgot to share here. Everything relationed to ARcore was working, even playground. My response is in this thread for whoever got the same issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/arcore-support-mi-a2-t3900879
Hey there, I remember I had got ARCore working A2 Lite. After flashing the module through Magisk, you need to install the ARCore app from PlayStore from here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.ar.core
It should work afterwards, but Pokemon might not work, as they check for rooted/unlocked devices to prevent cheating.

You just have to go to "magisk hide" inside magisk app and add pokemon go in there

Ok, I'll explain it to you very simple. Tell me if you don't understand me or if you want an explaination with detail.
(Continue at your own risk. I don't have any responsibility for bricked devices in case you don't know what you are doing!!!)
1: Downgrate your android device to the latest version of android oreo(8.1.0).
2: Root your android.
3: Install Magisk Manager.
4: Download and install the magisk module "ArCore/Playground Patcher".
5: Use a terminal emulator to enable camera2 api.
6: Install google camera port for mi a2 lite (or mi a2 if your device is a mi a2).
Done! Now you can play any ar game or install ArStickers for Google Camera(Ar Stickers is an older version of Playground for android 8)
Warning: Google Camera may crash when you are in Video mode or Photo mode but everything else works (including ArStickers)
Also let me know if it worked.
This mobile is based on mediatek. Can we still remove installed youtube and use youtube vanced instead?
Microg is also need to be functional as login is important to me.
Of course yes. Mtk has nothing to do with it even gcam you can install it.

Yup you can easily install YouTube vanced with microg without root. And you can also disable YouTube with the help of app or uninstall/debloat your mobile without root with the help of pc. For disable system app you can use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.learnpainless.disable_system_apps
And for debloating/uninstalling system app without root you can use this
https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/releases/tag/7.0
Hope this will help you.
For install all is on vanced site.
