Hello, All!
Not sure if this is an appropriate question in the forum but I hope someone will be able to explain me what I am about to ask.
So after my Redmi note 8 pro updated to Android 10 I noticed that pro camera has some "pro features for taking photos" and one of those features is that camera allows to drag focus ring and exposure ring separately and you can adjust both parameters separately. Can someone explain how to adjust them ? I am only able to drag them but cannot see any differences in the photos.
Thabk you!
Hi All
I have ordered Poco M2 pro recently (6/64) at a pre-exchange price of 12339 INR (Post exchange 11339)
I have the option to order Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (6/64) at approx. 12610 INR (Same phone not available for exchange here)
Two main questions and opinions I need from you please:
1) How much better is the Redmi note 9 pro max camera compared to Poco M2 pro? Is it worth spending extra for Redmi Note 9 pro max over Poco M2 pro?
2) Although, noone is mentioned it specifically, looking at some of the videos in youtube of Redmi Note 9 pro max post MiUI 12 update, it seems it retains the Mi dialer and messaging app. Is it correct or it also loses these and gets the google dialer and messaging apps? I guess Poco gets updated to google dialer and messaging apps. Please clarify on this. It is important for me to be able to use Mi dialer and messaging apps.
I am not much concerned about ads as I will anyway debloat both using MIUI debloater and disable all ads.
Please help decide which one I should go for.
Any other difference or something which I should consider?

TL;DR:
You can download the modded Open Camera app for the Pixel 6 Pro from the project’s GitHub repository. Note that the modded app only supports the Pixel 6 Pro, and it won’t work on the regular Pixel 6. As the developer notes, the modded Open Camera app isn’t as capable as the stock camera app on the Pixel 6 Pro. But, at least, it works.

Facing issues with the Pixel 6 Pro’s camera app? Try this Open Camera modAlthough the Pixel 6 lineup has received rave reviews, the latest flagships from Google are far from perfect. Over the last few months, we’ve seen several reports of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users facing various issues, ranging from poor fingerprint scanner performance to sub-par network connectivity. While Google has addressed some of these issues via software updates, the company is yet to fix an annoying issue with the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that makes the device unusable.
We’ve come across various reports on Google’s support website and Reddit claiming that the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro crashes frequently and makes the device unusable. Whenever this issue pops up, users are left with no choice but to hard reboot their device, making the entire ordeal rather annoying.
Some users report that factory resetting the phone doesn’t seem to help either, and the issue persists even after installing the February 2022 update, which included a fix for the “issue causing device reboot when using camera in certain conditions.” Fed up with the issue, a Pixel 6 Pro user has released a modded version of the Open Camera app that offers disgruntled users temporary relief.
As mentioned in several reports, the issue seems to be limited to the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Third-party camera apps, like Open Camera, seem to work as intended. However, since Open Camera doesn’t support the Pixel 6 Pro’s ultra-wide camera and has a tricky zoom slider, it isn’t an ideal alternative to the stock camera app. Thankfully, the modded Open Camera build from Cameron Kaiser offers a relatively better solution.
The modded Open Camera app for the Pixel 6 Pro adds a button on the screen that makes the zoom a bit easier to control. Although it still doesn’t include support for the ultra-wide camera, it’s better than using the stock camera app for one simple reason — it doesn’t crash. So, if you’ve been facing this camera crashing issue on your Pixel 6 Pro, you should give it a go.

I'm sure its not universal. If it was a problem for MOST/ALL people, then you can bet that gooble would fix it pretty fast.
Hello,
I had until now a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and the GCam from Parrot043 version 7.3.020.296349306 V8.
I take a lot of photos with people. The quality with this phone and this app are incredible. The details of the faces, hair, sharpness is almost perfect for me.
Now I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 and a 10 pro, and with both phones I have not find a GCam app that works and also takes good pictures.
The Parrot043 app unfortunately doesn't work and keeps crashing.
The only app that can keep up to some extent is the MTSL Cam V7.2 app, see link below:
MTSL: MTSLCam_V7.2
Download MTSLCam_V7.2 by MTSL.

Is there a way to somehow transfer the configuration from Parrot043 to the MTSL Cam?
Or what settings would you optimize on the MTSL app for photos with people?
Or is there a Parrot043 that works with Xiaomi 11/10?
Thank you for any hints
You could try latest Parrot043 8.4 V1.5 version.
Link to the downloads is in this thread.

Thank you very much. I have just tried it out.
The app works without crashing. But you have to switch on the white balance otherwise the photos are green.
Unfortunately, the quality does not come close to the photos from the MTSL, i.e. the individual hairs of a person are relatively blurred. See below/attached image-link.
The photos also lack colour saturation. Where is the best place to set this?
But, MTSL needs a long time before you can take a new photo.

Use MTSL if it's better.. Parrot043 gcams is simply with not many settings. Other gcams have more settings to front and rear cameras.
You could also try LMC 8.4 or Shamim 8.4 gcam builds. I mainly use LMC on my phone(Moto phone) and i like that very much. Settings is easy to find and modify.

It's not better than old parrot043 version for xiaomi redmi note 7, and it needs long time to save a photo, so cannot take several photos very fast... :-(

I have tried all of them and the quality is poor, i.e. the hair appears blurred. This is very frustrating. :-(
And here on the forum, the settings seem for me more focused on so landscapes, and not people.
The MTSL V7.2 with Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 comes close in quality to the Parrot043 version 7.3.020.296349306 V8 with Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, but unfortunately it takes a long time to process a photo.
I am already surprised that with the right app, a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 takes the better photos (of people) than a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11.
Is there no thread for Gcam Xiaomi Redmi Note 11?
However, my last solution would now be to configure current Parrot043 Gcam App, according Parrot043 version 7.3.. step by step, BUT unfortunately the developer settings of Parrot043 version 7.3.. are not disclosed.
How or where could I get these settings? Is "Parrot043" a user here in the forum? Are there any ways to contact him?
Thank you
