Hey, has anyone noticed that snapchat on redmi note 5 pro uses 5 MP secondary camera (Rear) instead of 12 MP Primary Camera (Rear)? Is there anyway you can switch the camera for snapchat and/or for other apps? Thank you for consideration!
The 5mp secondary camera is used for depth sensing.
After 2nd update ancient.rom change something for that gcam front hdr+ enhanced work no more in xiaomi redmi note 5 ai
Anyone know why?

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
Finally after waiting and searching for Gcam 7.x works on MIUI 11. Here it is, not my work but i just want to share it with you guys. hdr+ works i think everything works. Goodluck!

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

I think it's an API limit

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?
